Naruto: I Sell Jars in Konoha Village.

Chapter 54 Naruto, were you blackmailed? Hiashi Hyuga: This is the effect of Tohka Muscle-Softening Powder!

Iruka: "????"

"What?!"

"One million?!"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Iruka's face turned green: "You want to borrow a million? Do you even know how much a hundred is? Don't you have any concept of money?"

Iruka had considered asking Naruto to lend him tens of thousands of yen.

But to my surprise, Naruto Uzumaki actually wanted to borrow one million!

Judging from Naruto's expression, he's not unaware of the one million!

"Of course I know."

Naruto looked at Iruka with suspicion: "Iruka-sensei, you don't have it, do you?"

"You don't have a wife, and you're usually alone. You teach and get a salary, so you must have saved up quite a bit of money over the years."

Iruka: "."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Iruka's face darkened: "I don't have that many!"

One million is no small sum.

Especially Naruto, why is he talking so rudely now?

He doesn't even have a wife.

Does he not have it?

He just doesn't want to look for it!

"How much do you have?"

While Iruka was thinking this, Naruto Uzumaki hesitated and said, "If we don't have a million, eight hundred thousand will do."

I've already opened two jars from the shop owner, so I can open eight more.

Eight jars would cost 800,000 taels!

"No, not at all!"

Hearing Naruto's words and seeing his serious expression, Iruka's face darkened: "What do you need so much money for? Have you been blackmailed? Tell me honestly, sir!"

He wanted to see what Naruto Uzumaki was going to do with so much money.

Buy ninja tools?

With so much money to buy ninja tools, you can't even carry them all; you could just use one and throw the other away.

Even a regular Chunin wouldn't have that much money!

Keep in mind that a C-level village exit mission only costs tens of thousands of taels, and that's even shared among different people.

It's not something an ordinary ninja can accumulate in a short time.

Your ninja tools need repair, your equipment needs to be updated, and you might even need to learn some new skills—all of these require money!

Even some Jonin might not be able to produce it immediately!

"I wasn't blackmailed, I just needed money."

Naruto Uzumaki pouted and said, "Who can blackmail me? I'm the one who blackmails others. Besides, I wouldn't do something so shameful. I just need money. I've graduated, shouldn't I celebrate and buy some things?"

"Besides, Iruka-sensei, it's not like I'm not going to pay you back. I'll pay you back when I have the money."

The jar is so magical, I won't tell Iruka about it.

Iruka, upon hearing Naruto's words, felt a toothache.

This kid is definitely up to no good.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure out what Naruto Uzumaki needed so much money for.

"I don't have the hundreds of thousands you're asking for."

Seeing Naruto staring at him, unwilling to move, Iruka's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "But I still have a little over 100,000. You clear out the Hokage Rock for me, and as long as you pass the Ninja Academy graduation exam, I'll lend it to you. If you don't pass..."

Now that we know Naruto Uzumaki is short of money, we have a solution.

He directly used money to motivate Naruto!

If Naruto clears out the Hokage Rock today and then passes the Ninja Academy graduation exam, it's not impossible.

But if it doesn't pass, then I'm sorry.

"real?"

Naruto's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Iruka's words: "You mean it?"

I never expected that Iruka-sensei would lend it to me.

After all, Iruka-sensei really doesn't have any money.

Unexpectedly, they were even able to give him 100,000.

Now I can open another jar.

"certainly."

Iruka squinted: "Only if you can wipe the paint off the Hokage Rock today and pass your graduation exam. Also, this money is a loan, and you have to pay it back."

"no problem."

Naruto rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission today!"

Seeing that Naruto's enthusiasm had been aroused, Iruka was immediately satisfied.

He then took Naruto Uzumaki straight to the Hokage Rock.

This scene was also witnessed by some villagers who came to watch, and they all stared wide-eyed.

"So that's the kid who dared to deface the Hokage Rock in Konoha."

"That bastard, he's always playing pranks!"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for defacing the sculptures of past Hokage like that?!"

When Naruto heard these comments, he just scoffed and said, "A bunch of idiots who love to talk nonsense."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

Seeing that Naruto still had time to turn around, Iruka was exasperated: "You've gone too far with the makeup. If you don't hurry up, we might not be able to finish it during the day. Don't expect me to help you."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Upon hearing Iruka's words, Naruto immediately got to work.

After all, as long as you listen to Teacher Iruka, you're guaranteed to open at least one jar.

At this time.

The Hokage's office not far away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched this scene, smoking a cigarette as he nodded approvingly.

Naruto is quite obedient, that's good.

Iruka is quite good at teaching Naruto; it was worth the effort of picking him out specifically.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately said, "Come in."

"Lord Hokage, you wanted to see me?"

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, Hiashi Hyuga entered and greeted him with slight respect.

He couldn't believe that the Third Hokage would come to see him so early in the morning; he couldn't figure out why.

After all, we just talked about it last night.

"Japan, ah."

Seeing Hiashi Hyuga enter, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed: "Last night, some Anbu ninjas were ambushed, with Danzo being the first to be hit. Currently, it is considered that it was done by someone from within Konoha, so I hope you can mobilize the Hyuga clan and use the Byakugan to investigate and find some clues."

"Was the team leader's advisor assassinated?"

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Hiashi Hyuga's expression turned astonished, and understanding instantly appeared in his eyes.

No wonder there were so many ninjas patrolling this morning; now I know why.

But could that old man really be ambushed?

He was very skeptical.

"yes."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded again and said, "The only good thing right now is that the culprit hasn't hurt anyone, but we can't rule out the possibility that this is a test. Danzo and some Anbu ninjas are currently weak and powerless, due to a new type of toxin. We don't know if it's harmful, so Konoha needs your help right now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi briefly explained Danzo's situation, and Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly in response.

But in his heart, Hiashi Hyuga was in turmoil.

This symptom is the same as the effect of the Tohka Tendon-Softening Powder that Hinata told him about yesterday, which she gets from the shopkeeper every day.

Although he was surprised, Hiashi Hyuga remained outwardly calm and listened quietly.
