Buying Gift

The Dharma debate conference went very smoothly.

Especially when Jigo talked about his understanding of Buddhism in the debate.

Many words were not clear to outsiders, but in the ears of monks and Buddhist disciples, they were like words of truth.

The entire debate conference lasted until evening.

Jigo stayed behind with the enthusiasm of the monk in Tangzhi Temple and stayed for two more days before returning to Konoha.

In the past few days, Uchiha Tunan observed Kakuzu's movements from time to time.

He found that the guy was calm and stayed in the hotel.

It seemed that he was waiting for something.

It was obvious what they were waiting for in this situation.

They were definitely waiting for their group to leave the Tang Zhi Temple.

As time passed, Uchiha Tunan even discovered a few people who had reached Jounin's level of rebellion.

These people also became the targets of Uchiha Tunan's attention.

A group of people came to Rose Street from Tangzhi Temple on the top of the mountain.

Uchiha Tunan suddenly asked,

"Can you wait for me for a while? I want to buy something."

"Hmmm..." Minato looked at Jigo awkwardly.

After all, he was still on a mission. If he wanted to solve a private matter, he needed the approval of his employer.

Jigo put his palms together and smiled kindly at Uchiha Tunan,

"Go, we will wait for you here."

"Thank you, Master Jigo."

Uchiha Tunan came to the gift shop on Rose Street and began to choose gifts.

Today was already the first of February.

It would take about five days to escort Jigo back to Fire Temple. It would take two more days to return to the village.

In other words, if the road was not delayed for too long, they could return to the village on the eighth of February.

It was just in time for Hiruzen Sarutobi's birthday.

Uchiha Tunan had written in his diary that he wanted to buy a birthday present for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The most important thing about being a person was that he had to keep his words.

Buying a gift to an elder still had to pay attention to a certain trick.

It had to serve as a foil and show sincerity.

The heart depended on whether the gift was suitable or not, and the sincerity depended on whether the gift was expensive or not.

Of course, the value was compared to the same kind of gift.

Uchiha Tunan came to the counter and asked politely, "Do you have cigarettes here? The kind that you smoke with a pipe?"

The boss nodded and said, "You mean tobacco? Yes, yes. Are you going to give it to someone?"

"Well, I want to give it to my grandfather."

"What a filial child. Come, come, come, here is..."

Uchiha Tunan waved his hand and said, "No need to introduce. I want the most expensive one, and I can't buy it in the Fire Country."

The boss was stunned for a moment and looked at the ninja forehead guard that Uchiha Tunan was wearing.

He immediately smiled at Uchiha Tunan and quickly took off the tobacco at the top of the shelf.

"This is your tobacco. Thank you for your 16,000 taels of silver. Do you need to wrap it up?"

Uchiha Tunan nodded and said, "Yes, I'll give you an extra thousand taels. Wrap it up in the most luxurious box and give me a receipt of 66,000 taels."

"Ah?" The boss was stunned for a moment and did not react.

"Can I?"

"Sure."

"Wrap the receipt in a box."

Uchiha Tunan happily handed over the money, then took out a small seal scroll from his ninja backpack and sealed the gift box inside.

It had to be known that the ordinary tobacco was only about one hundred taels, and Hiruzen Sarutobi only smoked five hundred taels.

Uchiha Tunan could already imagine the shocked expression on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face when he received the gift.

....

"Googoo ---"

Minato and his group walked through the dense forest.

The closer they got to the border of the Fire Country,

The surrounding trees grew taller and taller.

It was already close to evening, and the forest began to fill with thin fog. Everyone could even smell the moist and cool fragrance in the air.

Every step he stepped on the soil would sink slightly. Obviously, it had just rained not long ago.

There were one or two pools of water on the ground, reflecting the figures of Minato and the others.

"Sou!"

Suddenly, several Kunai shot out from the surrounding forest.

"Be careful, enemy attack!"

Minato was the fastest to react. He took out Kunai and stood in front of Jigo, sending Kunai flying.

Kakashi and Uchiha Tunan were also ready for battle, tightly surrounding Jigo.

Minato looked dignified, and his ears moved slightly. He took out three Kunai from his ninja bag and threw them behind him.

"Clang, clang, clang ---"

The three Kunai stabbed deeply into the tree trunk.

The three Ninjas who were originally standing on the tree branch had already jumped away.

One of them, who was wearing a cloud mask, crossed his arms and said,

"Konoha's ninja team, this old man's life, we want it."

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here."

Hidden Cloud Village's traitor, Hidden Mist Village's traitor, and Hidden Rock Village's traitor?

I wonder if Minato can handle it.

At this time, Uchiha Tunan had already opened his Sharingan, and pretended to have a serious expression on his face.

"It seems that you don't agree."

A sinister smile appeared on the face of the traitor from Hidden Rock Village. He said to the two people beside him,

"Leave this yellow haired Jounin to me. You two take care of the rest."

"Don't think about taking the reward for yourself. "

"What's the point of saying so much? Kill them all."

"Earth Escape, Earth Movement Core Technique."

Boom ---

Uchiha Tunan and the others sensed the abnormality beneath their feet and quickly jumped.

They saw that the place where they had just stood had completely collapsed, becoming a bottomless pit.

Minato took out a Kunai and held it in his palm. He said in a low voice,

"Kakashi, Tunan, take Master Jigo to a safe place first. Leave these people to me."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and quickly carried Jigo on his back. Then, he and Kakashi ran away.

Just as the Rock Village and Hidden Mist Village wanted to chase after Uchiha Tunan and the others.

Suddenly, Minato appeared on a tree trunk and stabbed toward Hidden Rock Village's traitor.

"So fast, what kind of Ninjutsu is this?"

Hidden Rock Village's traitor's pupils shrank. Shocked by Minato's speed, he blocked the attack with his Kunai.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Minato was not in a hurry to attack. In the next instant, he appeared behind Hidden Cloud Village's traitor.

"Damn it, how dare you look down on us!"

Hidden Cloud Village's traitor roared, and his right fist flashed with lightning as he smashed at Minato.

"Bang!"

The big tree was smashed into pieces.

However, just as the fist was about to hit Minato, Minato quickly appeared on the other side.

Then, he quickly threw out several special Kunai, scattered all over the battlefield.

Whenever they were about to be attacked or someone wanted to chase after Uchiha Tunan, Minato would immediately appear.

The three of them had no choice but to fight with Minato.

....

Not long later, Minato saw the opening of the Hidden Mist Village's traitor, and a Flying Thunder God appeared behind him and kicked out.

"Bang!"

Water splashed everywhere.

Oh no, it's a water body.

Minato was shocked, but Kakashi and the others had already run a distance.

He could only get rid of the two rebels quickly.

As for the other one, he believed that Kakashi and Uchiha Tunan could stop it.
