Naruto: Immortal Spirit

On the way to the Sand Ninja battlefield, Iruka seemed a little quieter than usual. Without Iruka's activity, Kato Ou also noticed that the atmosphere in this team was vaguely abnormal.

"Probably even the same people, walking on the same road, will grow differently..."

Kato Ou didn't pay too much attention to it. Everyone probably had their own journey to go.

At the beginning of the war, the Sand Ninja battlefield was not where it is now, but deeper into the heart of the Fire Country, and had even broken through the southwest border.

The Suna Ninja had planned for a long time and launched an attack suddenly, catching Konoha off guard. But now, as other battlefields were calmed down, the Suna Ninja's offensive also began to slow down sharply, and the war position began to gradually move to the Land of Fire.

As for the layout of the entire battlefield, perhaps only Tsunade and Namikaze Minato, as commanders, have a clear idea of ​​the layout, but the Suna ninja is beginning to show signs of decline, which can be felt by every ninja participating in the battle, especially in front of Namikaze Minato. After coming to support.

"The Sand Ninja is different from the Mist Ninja. The Sand Ninja is good at using poison and puppet techniques, followed by the Wind Release Ninjutsu. I hope that the knowledge taught to you by the Ninja School will allow you to survive until the last kunai issued by the Sand Ninja. after……"

Approaching the Sand Ninja battlefield, Kato Oo stopped talking, slowed down his steps slightly, slowly released his senses, and explored various traces in the jungle.

The lush mountains and forests are suitable for the growth of all things, but they are also suitable for being buried here for a long time. Kato Ou does not want to bury bones in the green mountains and jungles.

In about a day or so of walking, we can reach Konoha's camp.

As if he noticed something, Kato Oo's nose twitched slightly, and a trace of confusion and strangeness flashed in his eyes. He suddenly raised his hand, and everyone stopped instantly.

"Itachi, do you feel it?"

"..."

Itachi hid his figure, blood appeared in his eyes, but he still frowned. After a while, he couldn't help but look at Kato Oo again.

"At seven o'clock, about five kilometers away, there is a small town of civilians..."

"Teacher Xu, we are still in the Land of Fire, hundreds of kilometers away from the Sand Ninja battlefield. Isn't it normal that there will be some villages?"

Uzuki Xiyan asked in confusion, but she still did not put down the long sword in her hand. She glanced at the confused Itachi Uchiha and couldn't help but slandered in a low voice: "How can a normal ninja have such a perverted range of perception!!! "

"Something's wrong, there are ninjas in that place..., I can feel the chakra fluctuations that are not weak..."

"Do you want to come with me?"

A trace of emotion flashed in Kato Ou's eyes. In addition, his Soul Fire Insect also felt a unique aura, which seemed very familiar.

"..."

Xiyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Although the three little shrimps were in the Land of Fire, they were not peaceful now.

Besides, Kato Ou is their leading jounin. How could they leave him and go to the Konoha camp by themselves? Without mission documents, they might not be arrested immediately.

"Let's go..."

Uncharacteristically, Iruka was no longer irritated. He seemed to have been thinking about something these days. There was always a look of doubt in his eyes. Hearing this, he did not say anything, but just followed Uzuki Xiyan.

……

When productivity remains constant and there is no major breakthrough, it may be assumed that the total amount of wealth in the world is fixed. Then when one party gains part of the wealth, one party will definitely lose their assets.

For individuals with abundant resources, it may be nothing, but for the poor, it may cost them their lives, especially in a world with extraordinary force.

The small towns on the border of the Fire Country are probably the gravel crushed by the times due to this game.

Close to the border of the Country of Fire, the town was already dilapidated under the impact of the war. Not many people lived here anymore. Every household that could not leave due to various reasons had closed its windows and doors or hid underground.

Even though the Sand Ninja has retreated, he still doesn't have any expressions of joy or victory. He is just slightly silent and continues to act as the 'pig and sheep' at the bottom of the world.

No ninja cares about their life or death.

"Dong dong..."

A crisp knock on the door suddenly sounded in the town. The hurried passers-by glanced at the group of four people in a vague way, frowning slightly and gesturing towards an unknown place.

"Um……"

After a moment of silence, as if he had received a signal from somewhere, he shrank his head again, and his weather-beaten face returned to its original expression, which revealed the usual 'numbness' towards life, as if immersed in the sorrow of war. expression, and then hurried away.

"Dong dong..."

Kato Oo knocked on the door again, as if with a special rhythm. After a few knocks, the door quietly opened. The three little ones behind him changed their appearance. A trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they couldn't help but glance at Kato Oo in front of him.

"Don't say anything, just follow me. This is the 'underground gold exchange'..."

Seemingly attracted by this famous place, even Itachi Uchiha's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but become more solemn.

As soon as Kato Oga entered the town, he saw the hidden symbols of the underground gold exchanges. The existence of each underground gold exchange was uncertain and could be moved away at any time. If it wasn't a bounty hunter who took the order, or someone familiar with it. It is difficult to find their exact location.

If it weren't for Orochimaru, he wouldn't know this kind of place so well.

The bright corridors were flickering with candlelight. After going deep underground, it suddenly became clear that there were only a few people in the hall of the money exchange. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and there were even some who were wrapped up so that no trace of their bodies was exposed.

He glanced at the four people vaguely, and then sat quietly again, gloom and silence filled the place. On one side of the hall, some rewards for traitors or criminals were blatantly posted on the wall, black and gray intertwined, slightly It looks a bit shadowy.

It's just that these are generally trash fish, and even the highest reward is only one million taels.

"Snake Eyes..."

From nowhere, Kato Ou slowly took out a bounty hunter's identity token. It suddenly appeared in his hand and passed by. The receptionist of the underground gold exchange already knew it.

After silently sizing up Kato Oo without saying a word, Kato Oo followed and walked into the compartment.

Seeing the three people behind Kato Ou, the receptionist seemed to want to say something, but Kato Ou's eyes narrowed, and the receptionist shut his mouth and stopped talking.

No one will do anything in the underground gold exchange, but that is not the case. There are people behind the underground gold exchange, but not everyone is afraid of it.

There is no need to mess with a powerful person, even if he is from a money exchange, for some insignificant things.

"Lord Snake Tong, according to the rules, these reward lists can only be viewed by you alone..."

After the receptionist finished speaking, he stopped talking and exited the cubicle. Kato Ou ignored him, turned over the reward flyers in his hand one by one, and handed them to the three little ones beside him.

In the curious and fresh eyes of the three people, reward sheets kept flashing by.

However, as if he saw something unbelievable, Iruka's eyes shook and he suddenly opened his mouth. He seemed to have thought of Kato O's order and couldn't help but dance.

It's hard to change one's nature. Kato Ou glanced at him. It seemed that he was still too young. The scars had healed and he had forgotten the pain.

"Just say what you want, no one can hear..."

His perception has already spread throughout the entire cubicle and the underground money exchange. Even Bai Jue cannot sneak into this place without any trace with his full perception.

"Teacher Ou! This must be Namikaze Minato-sama! Here! How dare you offer a reward to Namikaze Minato-sama!"

"Sixty-five million taels!"

"Just kidding..."

Xiyan's eyes also looked a little unnatural. Even for a big family in Konoha, it would be a bit painful to suddenly spend so much money, let alone a run-down family like her and Iruka and ordinary civilian families.

"This one is..."

Uchiha Itachi was also looking through each one. There were not only bounties but also some basic information on them. He was very interested.

Just looking through it, his eyes suddenly fell on Kato Oo's face, and he slowly pulled out a reward sheet.

"Teacher Xu..."

"Are you being offered a reward of [-] million taels?"

"One hundred million taels..."

Uzuki Xiyan and Iruka couldn't help but focus on Kato O's face, as if they couldn't figure out how this head could be worth [-] million taels?

"Thanks to the Fourth Mizukage's credit, it's thirty-five million taels more than Namikaze Minato..."

After saying that, he cast his eyes faintly on the three brats in front of him.

"If one day you think you can do it, maybe you can give it a try and take [-] million taels back to your home..."

"One hundred million taels, I even want to take action myself..."
