Chapter 168: Did the Shadow of Legs Get Sold? (Please subscribe!) Samyi was definitely imprisoned by Xiayan and treated like a plush ball. Although she almost tricked Uchiha's enemies and had intimate contact with Xiayan, Xiayan was not so soft-hearted! On the other hand, Xiayan did not deceive her with his words. The prestige of being the number one person in the ninja world is so great that no country would dare to harm their own relatives. Even the incident in Rock Shinobi Village was mentioned by Sasuke himself. In a letter he sent back to the village, he sarcastically commented, "Rock Shinobi really embarrassed their will of stone. They said they were fearless of heaven and earth, right?" "Xiayan, do you know that if I still wore the clan emblem, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me!" "Then what's the point of me gaining experience on the battlefield?" "But if I take off the clan emblem..."
"How can I make my Uchiha name known?" There's no other way! For the sake of a few children, Xiayan directly stormed into the Cloud Shinobi stronghold, killed almost everyone from the Cloud Shinobi, and took away the Eight Tails and the Raikage. Those were just a few children who hadn't fallen into the hands of the Cloud Shinobi! But there are still two hundred children like Sasuke within the Uchiha clan who are not Xiayan's own children! Although it seems that Sasuke and Xiayan have a more distant relationship, in reality, they should be closer! Who would dare to lay a hand on someone like him? Aren't you afraid of provoking Xia Yan? Sasuke is very troubled. Of course, he complains on the surface, but anyone can see the proud attitude between the lines. Of course, it's not just Sasuke playing this "complaining but actually showing off" trick. Naruto also played along! Of course, the letter he sent said, "Oh, Xia Yan ge, I accidentally killed another Chūnin, and the village rewarded me with a whopping two hundred thousand liang!" "Rock Shinobi's Chūnin are really weak, I've defeated several of them who were higher-ranked, and the bounties added up to over a million!" "With so much money, how long can I play in the Gold Vault when I go back? 710" "Haha, Xia Yan ge, when I go back, I'll treat you to a good time and let you experience it too!" Xia Yan responded silently, "Naruto, you're really amazing, come back soon. Xia Yan ge just topped up one billion in your VIP card, so you can have a good time..." "Don't worry about this billion, it's just the income I make from sleeping for a day at home. If it's not enough, just ask me for more." "Speaking of which, the village didn't give me the reward for wiping out over seven thousand Cloud Shinobi and capturing the Raikage and Eight Tails. Tsunade, this Hokage, is really stingy. I think a village that stingy will go bankrupt sooner or later."
"If one day the village really goes bankrupt, why don't you come with me, Naruto? Let's establish a 'Hime Ninja Village' together. I believe you'll make a great Tenth Himekage!" Naruto: "......" Xia Yan ge, I've achieved something by going out and exploring. I just wanted to show off to you. Can't you just praise me a little and satisfy my desire to show off? But Naruto was also helpless. Although he did kill many Chūnin and made significant contributions, in reality, he was also very dangerous. Naruto's careless and reckless nature hadn't changed, and he almost got killed by enemies several times. There was one time when he even fell into a trap set by a Jōnin and almost got killed by that Rock Shinobi Jōnin. If it wasn't for the Nine Tails suddenly coming to Naruto's rescue, he would have been done for! After going through so many bloody battles and deducting the daily supplies needed for a ninja, such as soldier pills and ninja tools, he only saved a little over a million in rewards. On the other hand, Xia Yan topped up his card and spent a billion. The difference is really... But after a moment of silence, Naruto decisively said, "Xia Yan, bro, I love you! I've decided to live with you Uchihas when I return to the village! I want to stay for a year!" A billion, oh, a billion, damn a billion... Xia Yan had no expression on his face. "Are you talking about the Uchiha Club?" Naruto blushed. "Isn't that also Uchiha?" Xia Yan: T Regardless of how arrogant Naruto and Sasuke may be, in reality, their talents are top-notch in the ninja world. After entering the Rock Shinobi Village instance, they quickly grew. Under Kakashi's guidance, the team completed several missions. Naruto and Sasuke both made a name for themselves and gained considerable achievements, becoming rising stars that were well-known in the ninja world. Even Sakura quickly grew, actively learning genjutsu from Kakashi and not forgetting to study medical ninjutsu when they returned to the camp for repairs. In her words, even someone as skilled as Xia Yan thinks I have talent, so how could I, someone with talent, possibly lose to just Naruto? Although she might have some misconceptions about Naruto's talent. But it has to be said, war really makes people grow. The three members of the main group have made great progress, the only pitiful one being Kakashi. Because Sasuke and Naruto have become more and more daring, they have repeatedly ignored Kakashi's advice and, under the guise of Xia Yan, suppressed Kakashi and actively taken on dangerous missions. This has made Kakashi constantly on edge, encountering skilled shinobi from the Rock Village multiple times and facing constant danger. One time, their team even trespassed into the heart of the Rock Village and encountered a squad led by the Kage-level expert, Kurotsuchi. They almost didn't make it back - if it weren't for Naruto's sudden release of the Nine-Tails Chakra, causing Kurotsuchi to hesitate, Kakashi might have been killed by Kurotsuchi. As Sasuke's team's reputation grew, the Rock Village also assembled a team to hunt them down - although they didn't dare to kill Sasuke, the Rock shinobi still planned to beat him up and imprison him. This made Kakashi even more worried, but when Naruto and Sasuke found out, they laughed heartily. Naruto proudly exclaimed, "My reputation as Naruto-sama has reached the Rock Village! Even the Rock shinobi have to specifically target me!" Sasuke coldly replied, "What does that have to do with you? This is the prestige of my Uchiha clan." Sakura, who was standing nearby, said, "Rock shinobi are so terrifying, Kakashi-sensei... Kakashi-sensei is amazing!"
Then, the three of them said in unison - as the rising stars of Konoha, the objects of fear for the Rock shinobi - they must take on even more difficult missions to show their prowess. Kakashi: "......" "Do you guys really not intend to let me, your teacher, have some peace of mind?" "Taking you guys out once can make me live ten years less!" He couldn't help it and proposed to Tsunade and Xia Yan the idea of bringing the three of them back to the village - he felt that he couldn't protect his team members like this. However, Tsunade's response was, "Don't be afraid, Konoha believes in you, and you must believe in yourself. You will definitely be able to overcome the Rock shinobi!" Xia Yan's response was, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just the Rock shinobi. Kakashi, as long as you beat up every Rock shinobi you see, won't you have successfully protected Naruto? And even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in Naruto and Sasuke!" "Come on, let's do it!" Kakashi: I really believe in a hammer! However, this is useless. Although Kakashi is an Elite Jōnin and has some influence in Konoha, it is ultimately under the orders of Tsunade and Hayato. In reality, Tsunade is also a bit worried about Naruto and Sasuke, but at Hayato's request, she still believes that Kakashi can solve the problem. She doesn't know that Hayato's trust is not in Kakashi, but in... The main characters! "How could the main characters fail?" Hayato said incredulously. "Even if a few Rock Shinobi teams come, I think Naruto and Sasuke can defeat them!" Even the Great Oak of Rock Shinobi Village is the same! He arrives one second, and Naruto can transform into the Nine Tails the next second, Sasuke can activate the Mangekyō the next... With the main characters, anything is possible! Besides, even if they fail, Hayato can still save them! No problem! A few more days passed. Finally, Kakuzu sent a message—he has arrived! Hayato immediately went to the agreed meeting place. "Hayato, you're here!" Kakuzu greeted warmly, even showing a big smile. "Look, this is the female ninja I worked so hard to capture... Uchiha, you guys need this kind of talent!" The position he was referring to was occupied by a short-haired girl who was staring at Masahiko and Kakuzu with a gaze full of anger. She had short black hair, wore a ninja uniform that didn't accentuate her figure, and even had a set of armor on her chest. Her face had not fully matured yet, but was full of youthful vitality. But the most eye-catching feature was her slender legs! Wearing the favorite black stockings of female ninjas, they were long and beautiful, captivating.
"This person..." Masahiko's expression changed slightly. "You actually brought her here?" "I put in a lot of effort!" Kakuzu sighed lightly, showing a sense of hard work and accomplishment. "Could you not have put in the effort? She is the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage!" Masahiko covered his face with a slap. "You actually snatched her back for me..." That's right! The girl brought by Kakuzu was none other than the future "Leg Shadow," the granddaughter of Onoki, the Tsuchikage! Of course, she hadn't fully grown yet, but in her teenage years, her face still had some youthfulness, and her figure was not prominent. But those legs, which were the most eye-catching, were truly something! "Masahiko, isn't this considered noble?" Kakuzu said naturally. "The granddaughter of the Tsuchikage, isn't that noble enough?" "That's enough." Masahiko's mouth twitched. "Her talent is also high enough. I had to put in some effort to capture her," Kakuzu said seriously. "I feel that she definitely has the potential to reach Kage-level!" "She indeed has..." Masahiko's mouth twitched slightly. The Leg Shadow naturally refers to the Shadow! And of course, Kurotsuchi has Kage-level potential! "But Kakuzu, I remember you said it had to be a woman of marriageable age... Is this girl old enough?" Xia Yan pointed at the young girl with a youthful face. Although Hidan is slightly older than Temari, it's only by a little bit! Is she of legal marriage age? "That's enough," Kakuzu coughed and turned his head slightly. "I've done the investigation, and if we go by the lunar age..." Shin Yan: "..." Now we're even considering the lunar age? Kakuzu, you really go all out for my payment. But Kakuzu didn't mind, after all, the difference isn't that big! Can't you just wait a few more months? "So Xia Yan, do you agree to this transaction?" Kakuzu asked impatiently. "I do!" Xia Yan replied without hesitation. Of course, I agree! Although it's a bit different from what I imagined, Kakuzu's 'merchandise' matches the information and introduction he gave before. Since that's the case, Xia Yan agrees! He said directly, "Within three days, the payment will be deposited into your previous account." "Good! No wonder you're the number one in the ninja world, you're straightforward!" Kakuzu suddenly showed a delighted smile and gave a thumbs up. "I will continue to work hard to find excellent talents for the boss!"
"Just do your best," Xia Yan shrugged. "If you can find a true Kage-level expert, I might consider paying you five times the price." Hidan is good, but his strength hasn't reached its peak yet... True Kage-level strong warriors are even more valuable! Kakuzu's eyes lit up at the words. He silently swallowed his saliva. This transaction was already at an expensive price, but to increase it fivefold... Is this the Uchiha's wealth? Love it, love it! Xia Yan looked at the angry Hidan and lifted him up. "By the way, Kakuzu, didn't Daiboku's granddaughter get captured? Isn't he coming here in a rage?" "He did come in a rage," Kakuzu chuckled. "But Xia Yan, didn't you say you don't care about any trouble it brings? So I didn't bother." A woman of noble status will definitely bring some trouble. Xia Yan was mentally prepared for some trouble from the beginning of his transaction with Kakuzu, but now this... Xia Yan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by 'didn't bother'?" Kakuzu replied, "I mean she's right behind me." "???" The next second. A small figure fell from the sky. Daiboku was furious. "So it was you who took away my granddaughter?"
