Chapter 60 Asking the Cloud Village for money, this is how the Uchiha treat their guests!
"Are they taking me for a fool?" Shen Yue's ears twitched slightly.
Samui thought his words were very secretive.
Little did they know, Shenyue had already overheard them.
Shen Yue glanced at Samui and the other two. Her bright red Sharingan was calm, but it made Samui's heart tighten for no reason. She felt as if her sarcasm had been seen through.
"Strange, this kid looks so young, how come he exudes such a strong aura of pressure?"
"Facing him, I actually feel like I'm facing Master Killer Bee?" Samui thought to himself, feeling a bit strange.
Shen Yue led the three to the temporary accommodations arranged for them by Konoha—a secluded and well-equipped independent courtyard.
It was dark all around.
They had long been secretly monitored by people arranged by Shenyue.
"How is it? Are you all satisfied with this place?" Shen Yue spread her arms and turned around, seemingly quite pleased with the furnishings and arrangement.
"This place is great!" Chloe and Samui were also very satisfied with the environment.
"I didn't realize you had such good taste!" Samui, in particular, rarely praised Shingetsu.
However, what Shenyue said next shattered her good mood instantly.
"In that case, give it to me!" Shen Yue did not leave immediately with her people, but turned around and stretched out her hand to the three of them.
Chloe and Samui looked at Shingetsu's outstretched hand with obvious confusion on their faces.
Chloe frowned slightly and asked, "Kamizuki-kun, what does this mean?"
Samui looked at Shingetsu with a puzzled expression.
Qing Shui and Tie Shu looked at Shen Yue with some curiosity, wondering what their captain was going to do again.
"The costs of lodging and meals, as well as the manpower costs for our Uchiha clan to maintain the outer perimeter, all require money. These expenses will naturally be charged to your account. Please pay three million ryo," Kamui said righteously.
"They're actually asking us for money?" Chloe was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this. He blinked to make sure he hadn't misheard. As an experienced envoy, he had traveled to many places and had never encountered a situation where he had to pay for his own protection. This was simply unheard of!
What kind of rule is this in Konoha?
The young Samui was completely enraged. Already dissatisfied with Uchiha Shingetsu's hospitality, she couldn't hold back any longer upon hearing this unreasonable demand. Her voice rose, filled with obvious anger and accusation: "Why should we pay? Is this how you treat guests in Konoha? We are envoys representing Kumogakure to form an alliance, not to do business!"
"Let me correct you, this is how we Uchiha treat our guests!" Kamui's expression remained unchanged in the face of Samui's questioning.
"Oh?" Troy, the Magnet Release ninja who had been silent and carried a strange ninja tool, couldn't help but raise his eyes and give Shingetsu a deep look.
A look of extreme confusion flashed in his eyes; he was clearly bewildered by the Uchiha's way of treating guests.
"Uchiha...Kamizuki!" Samui gritted his teeth.
"Yes, I'm listening!" Shen Yue looked at her calmly.
For some reason, Shen Yue's attitude was...
She felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger; these Uchiha people were simply unreasonable!
"Me and you!" Samui instinctively wanted to make a move.
"Don't be impulsive!" However, Chloe, who was standing next to her, reached out and stopped her.
Chloe had recovered from her initial shock, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something.
Without saying anything more, he simply took out three million taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Shenyue.
"Uncle Chloe!" Samui stomped his foot in anger upon seeing this, his cheeks flushed slightly with rage, and his long golden hair seemed about to float up.
Chloe shook her head slightly, signaling her to calm down.
"That's right!" Shen Yue took the silver, examined it carefully, and nodded after confirming that it was correct, her little face full of excitement.
"Alright, don't worry, I will definitely guarantee your safety before signing the alliance!"
"Qingshui, Tieshu, let's go!" Shenyue instructed Qingshui and Tieshu, who were standing to the side.
He had already secretly divided the area into two groups of Uchiha elites, who took turns guarding the courtyard, ostensibly as guards, but in reality, they were closely monitoring it to ensure that these Cloud Village ninjas would not cause any unplanned trouble in Konoha.
Having given her instructions, Shenyue did not linger and turned to leave the courtyard.
Outside, Uchiha Inahashi and Uchiha Yakumi led the other Uchiha members to gather around.
"How is Shenyue?" They looked at Shenyue with concern.
The people of Yunyin are notoriously difficult to deal with.
"With the captain on the case, what problems could there be?" Qing Shui and Tie Shu said proudly.
Shen Yue, however, took out three million taels from his pocket and waved it in front of them.
"This is... three million taels?" Dao Huo and Yao Wei stared wide-eyed for a moment.
Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan has never been wealthy.
Moreover, before Shenyue, no one considered making money as their top priority.
"Everyone worked hard on this mission. Although Konoha didn't allocate any funds to us, I've personally taken three million taels to help you out!"
"Isn't this money from Kumogakure? How did it become the captain's money?" Qing Shui was stunned, and Tie Shu was stunned.
"Nonsense, once it's in my pocket, it's my money. What's the problem?" Shen Yue glanced at them, giving them a knowing look.
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate!" Uchiha Inahi and Uchiha Yakumi were tempted.
But deep down I still don't feel good about it.
After all, they had never done something like this before.
The Uchiha clan in the past were just tools who worked diligently, carried out missions, and offended people.
I never intended to make money from this.
"Look at what you're saying! We're all from the Uchiha clan, what's wrong with that?"
"I said I would make the Uchiha clan great again!"
"Of course, we need to make sure everyone's wallets are bulging first!"
"Poverty is not the mark of the Uchiha!"
After hearing what Shingetsu had said.
Qing Shui, Tie Shu secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.
Look, this is what a captain should be like.
They can't make splitting money sound so noble and righteous, so refined and unconventional.
Amidst the sounds of rice fires and the smell of medicine, the two heard Shen Yue's words.
I still had some hesitation in my heart.
However, when they saw the followers behind them...
He immediately gritted his teeth.
"Alright, we'll take the money!" The two of them each took one million taels.
The remaining five people divided up two million taels of silver.
As for Qing Shui and Tie Shu, they've already gotten quite a bit from Shen Yue, so this little bit won't make a difference.
"Don't worry, Shingetsu, with us here, not even a mosquito will be able to escape today!" Inahi and Yakumi patted their chests and assured Shingetsu.
