struggle in Konoha

At night, Tiantian finally dragged his exhausted body back home.

For Tiantian, the happiest thing is to be cared for by his younger brother as soon as he returns home. For example, right now, he smells the aroma of food as soon as he returns home. Chiba is definitely the only one who can cook at home. Show off.

Although exhausted, Tiantian showed a happy smile.

"I am back."

Hearing Tiantian's voice, Chiba Xiu, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen with a cooking shovel.

"Welcome back, go and wash up quickly. After you finish washing, the meal will be almost ready."

"Okay, hard work."

"go quickly"

After saying that, Chiba Hide returned to the kitchen, and not long after, there was a sound of "clatter, clatter" from the bathroom. As a Chiba Hide who grew up with Tiantian, when faced with such a sound, he had some thoughts in his heart. nothing.

Time flew by quickly. When Tiantian changed her clothes and wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom, Chiba Xiu had already brought the prepared meals to the dining table.

When the two of them are not arguing, they live together like a couple who have been married for many years. Although it is unremarkable, they are extremely tacit and harmonious. Their relationship is closer than that of brother and sister.

"Sister, can you lend me some money?"

During the meal, Chiba Hide told the story about borrowing money. If he wanted to buy out Konoha, Chiba Hide must prepare enough funds, and it would probably be too late to ask for money from his father. After all, there was no such thing in this era. High-end communication tools, by the time Dad finds out, the Chuunin Examination will probably have entered the second stage by then.

So Chiba Xiu can only find a solution from Tiantian, a little rich woman, and the money should not be a problem for Tiantian.

After hearing Qianye Xiu's words, Tiantian looked at Qianye Xiu with doubts, and then asked: "Where is your pocket money? I remember daddy calls you every month."

"It's over."

"Oh"

Tiantian, who didn't have much idea about money, didn't think about how Chiba Xiu spent it. After all, for her, Chiba Xiu's pocket money was really just pocket money.

Without asking any more questions, he went back to the room, took out a bankbook and walked out, then handed it to Chiba Xiu's hand.

"I don't have time these days. You can go get it yourself. When you're done, just put it in my room."

"understood."

Chiba Xiu didn't expect to get money from Tiantian so easily. Although he had never borrowed money from Tiantian before, normal people would ask why they borrowed money.

I can’t help but feel that Tiantian is really a generous person.

Opening the passbook with satisfaction, Chiba Xiu was ready to check the balance in the passbook, but when he saw the numbers above, his originally relaxed expression was stunned.

The zero as long as a train on the balance of the passbook made Chiba Xiu feel dizzy.His mouth could not help but open wide, and then he looked at Tiantian in disbelief, how could this girl be so rich?

By the way, don’t we have the same father? Why do you have so much more money than me? Even if I’m just an adopted son, the gap can’t be so big, right?

The pocket money I have saved over the years can be a fraction of yours

In fact, Chiba Hide doesn't know what his father thinks about his poor son and rich daughter. Although he may have some misunderstandings about this term, it's really not like Chiba Hide thinks that his father pays attention to him. and love, but more than every day.

"Why do you suddenly have this expression?"

Tiantian has no idea what Qianba Xiu is thinking, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t understand. Isn’t money just a bunch of numbers? It’s used in such a fuss.

"It's okay. I'll return it to you tomorrow after I'm done with it. By the way, I might give you a surprise in a week. Don't be frightened then."

Shaking his head crazily, Chiba Xiu eliminated those unknown thoughts from his mind. After all, in this life, he didn't care much about money.

Hearing this, Tiantian put down the chopsticks in his hands and asked doubtfully: "What's the surprise for the Chunin exam in a week? Did you prepare something for me?"

"Don't ask~ You'll know by then anyway."

"Well, I hope it's not a shock."

"Forehead"

In fact, as long as this thing is done, it can be called a shock to Tiantian. After all, his younger brother who has not graduated yet suddenly and inexplicably took the Chunin Exam. This thing can only be a shock.

But Tiantian would definitely not be able to guess it now, and by then it would be a done deal, and it would be impossible for her to stop it.

Early the next morning, Chiba Xiu and Tiantian left home. Before Tiantian left, he asked Chiba Xiu to check the information. Chiba Xiu, who had already forgotten all about it, couldn't help but have a headache. , although it is easier to check the people who took the exam, it is not easy to check if it is more specific.

Forget it, it’s important to take care of your own affairs first. After this matter is completed, we are trying to find a way to gather information. If it doesn’t work, we may just go to each house to challenge them, and we can also complete tasks on the way.

As for whether the other party will accept it...

Anyway, no one has trouble with money, it’s just a fight. For them, this is much faster than earning money from doing tasks.

Regardless of these, Chiba Xiu did not go directly to the bank. After all, what he wanted to do required a lot of funds, so he had to negotiate the matter first and then transfer the money to the other party.

And the person Chiba Hide is looking for is none other than one of Konoha's top advisors, Mito Monobu.

This old man is from the same period as the Third Hokage, and his status in Konoha is not low, even comparable to that of Hokage. He has a certain say in many major decisions. At the same time, he and Koharu, who has transferred to his dormitory, are also responsible for Konoha. finance, so my father had a lot of dealings with this person.

As for whether this person will see me...

Chiba Xiu never considered it.

It was not yet time for him to work, so Chiba Hide came directly to Mito Monument's home. During major festivals every year, if his father was there, he would take him to visit him and give him gifts, and if If Dad is not here, then he and Tiantian will do the work for him.

So, it is very easy for Chiba Hide to meet Mito Monobu.

"Mito-sama, are you at home?"

After knocking on the door and speaking respectfully, Chiba Xiu heard footsteps coming from the house.

The people inside did not speak, but directly opened the door for Chiba Hide. However, the person who opened the door was not Mito Kadoyan, but a character whom Chiba Hide could not expect at all.
