Huang did not know how many people there were in the Uchiha family, but he could get a rough idea from the market.
"Boss, give me two catties of streaky pork."
Huang came to a meat stall and said to the owner.
"Oh, you're back! The mission went well, right?"
The owner of the butcher shop was named Aizawa, a middle-aged man with no ninja talent.
Of course, his surname was also Uchiha.
Ordinary people like this took up nearly half of Uchiha's population.
This was Huang's conclusion.
That was because in the market, about half of the people were ordinary people and ninjas who owned chakras.
Of course, this could also be because the clan ninjas were out on missions.
There were quite a few clan members of the older generation who possessed chakras.
"Uncle, the increase in my mission reward is not as fast as the increase in the price of your meat!”
Huang said with a smile. He was very familiar with Uncle Aizawa and had been buying meat for more than four years.
Uncle always praised him for being good at earning money, but he was still rich.
Uncle Aizawa's raw meat was considered the freshest batch in the market.
"Congratulations! It was great to become a ninja. I once wanted to become a ninja, but my father wouldn't allow it. In the end, he taught me how to kill pigs. Sigh…"
Uncle Aizawa praised, but then he changed the topic to his lost dream.
Huang replied with a smile.
Huang would only smile when he was with familiar people.
It was obvious that Uchiha's personality was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Huang was used to the uncle chatting with him every time he bought meat.
"Uncle, hurry up. I still have to rush home to make lunch.”
Huang urged. After chatting with the uncle, they chatted endlessly.
"Alright, alright, take it. Thank you for the 53 taels!"
"The price has increased again?"
Huang was speechless. He took out a gray wallet with sword patterns.
Naruto World used taels as a unit of measurement. One tael was roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of ten Japanese dollars in his previous life.
The Japanese yen was about 15 to 1.
After conversion, the pork here had actually risen to 35 yuan.
How many days had it been? In the blink of an eye, it had tripled!
A few days ago, it was fifteen, then twenty-five, and now it was thirty-five RMB!!!
"We have no choice. The village said that the Daming Manor's supplies to the village were cut off by a group of mountain bandits.”
Aizawa waved his hand. He took all his pork from the village.
“……”
Huang had nothing to say. This kind of statement was just to deceive the commoners.
A group of thieves dared to destroy the world's most powerful armed organization?
He was afraid that he had lived too long.
If they wanted to cut off the supply of resources, it would definitely be the other Great Ninja Villages.
Or…the Fire Country itself?
"How much is a catty in the village?”
Huang asked curiously. If it was Kanye's higher-ups who wanted to split the relationship between Uchiha and the village, they might have done so.
"I'm not sure. You know that some people in the village have a problem with Uchiha. I haven't been to the market for a long time. You can ask your sister when she comes back.”
Uncle Aizawa shrugged.
"Got it." Huang nodded.
Looking at Huang's back as he left, Aizawa lit a cigarette and smiled.""This kid is getting stronger and stronger!”
Huang had forgotten to change into his Chuunin vest. It was the first time he put on his vest and walked on the streets of Uchiha, attracting a lot of attention.
Huang mocked himself for being cannon fodder, but his actual status was very high.
Under normal circumstances, the Chuunin could be considered the backbone of the village.
Can be a team leader and a teacher at a ninja school.
These positions were the iron rice bowls of the village.
As for other situations, such as the Nine-tailed invasion, they were cannon fodder.
Aizawa didn't point it out. Instead, he continued to converse with Huang as usual.
After so many years of selling pork, he had seen countless people and knew that Huang's current status was not easy to come by.
The clan had gone from being the center of the village, the number one clan in Muye, to being suspected by the village, and there were countless dark forces around it.
Too many people had lost their sense of normalcy, and the entire family was filled with impatience.
Aizawa looked around and sighed,"
"The clan needs ninjas, and there are two other clans that are no longer selling pork. Tomorrow, the price can be set at thirty-five taels per catty.”
……
"Brother, you're back."
As soon as Huang entered, Dream came over to welcome him.
"Yes, let's have braised pork for lunch.”Huang reached out to pat his sister's head.
" You touched pork and now you're touching me…" Dream tilted her head to avoid Huang's hand and said with puffed cheeks.
However, when she heard the name Red Braised Meat, the look of anticipation on her face could not be concealed.
" Alright…" Huang retracted his hand in embarrassment.
An hour later, the meat was cooked.
The red braised pork that had just been served was brown and fragrant.
"Brother, I'm going to eat." Dream held her chopsticks and drooled.
At this moment.
"Dong dong dong!"
Someone knocked on the door.
Huang frowned. Who would come to his house at this time?
Huang put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to open the door.
"Wow, it smells so good! Huang, you know how to cook? Can I go in?"
Zhi Shui asked in surprise. Huang's house was not big. There were a total of four rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet, and two bedrooms.
“emmmm……”
Huang did not want to let Zhi Shui into the house, but a surprised scream came from behind him.
"Ah, it's Lord Zhishui. He came to my house!”
In an instant, the red braised pork was no longer fragrant!
" Come in," Huang said helplessly." We're eating."”
He took out a pair of straw sandals and handed them to Zhi Shui.
"Sorry to bother you." Zhi Shui walked into the room and sat in front of the small table. He first greeted Dream and then stared at the bowl of red braised pork on the table.
Huang was worried that he would activate the kaleidoscope, so he hurriedly took out a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen.
"I just came back from a mission and haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together!”
"So Huang is also such a gentle person! Thank you, but I won't stand on ceremony."
Zhi Shui took the bowl and chopsticks and replied with a smile.
“……”
Huang knew that Zhi Shui was here to deliver the reward for the mission. For the sake of money, he endured it!
"Wow! It's so delicious. It's my first time eating such delicious meat. Huang, if you open a shop on the street, you'll definitely earn more than a ninja!”
Zhi Shui praised.
“？？？”
"Zhishui, are you saying that I have no future as a ninja?”
Huang could not help but ask. This guy actually insulted his class.
What did he mean by being a noob was better than being a ninja?
"Isn't that so? Huang, you've been enduring for so many years, but you still haven't moved out of the family's public rental house…"
Zhi Shui muttered as he bit a piece of meat in his mouth.
“……”
Huang was speechless. Putting aside the fact that he had a sister to raise, just cultivation alone was a very costly thing.
After eating and drinking his fill, Zhi Shui finally took out an envelope and threw it to Huang.
"This is your one million taels."
"So many? Isn't the mission we're carrying out a B-rank?”
Huang was puzzled.
"The village upgraded the B-rank mission to S-rank based on the information we brought back. The bounty has also increased to three million."
Zhi Shui said with a smile.
"Take care!"
Huang took the money and pointed at the door.
If Zhishui had taken out the money earlier, he would not have let him in.
"Eh…?"
He was about to say something to win over his subordinates, but he didn't expect Huang to send him off directly. He didn't even bother to serve him tea.
"Brother, how can you do this? Lord Zhishui is here to give you money…At the very least, sit for a while before leaving!”
Meng, who had been in a love-struck state ever since Zhishui entered the room, came back to her senses. Then, she could not help but turn to the outside.
Huang glared at his sister and thought, What does a little loli like you know?
In the original Naruto storyline, the extermination of Uchiha's clan had a lot to do with Zhishui.
To put it bluntly, in Huang's eyes, Zhishui was half a god of plague.
To put it bluntly, it was easy to die if you were too close to such a person!
Huang ignored his sister's pleading gaze and chased her away.
Patting his stomach, Zhi Shui was tactful. He stood up and said,
"See you later. Have a good rest tonight. We'll gather at the village entrance tomorrow afternoon. Also, your name is Meng, right? Thank you for asking me to stay.”
"Bang!"
Zhishui's response was the loud sound of the door closing.
After leaving Huang's house, the smile on Zhi Shui's face disappeared and he returned to his cold expression.
Ignoring the respectful expressions of the surrounding clansmen, he used the Instant Movement Technique to leave the spot.
