Konoha's strength is supreme

After sleeping until dawn, the fatigue from yesterday's day of practice was gone.

Naruto took a breath and looked at the window sill.

On the window sill, the headless shiitake mushroom was placed in a flowerpot and was working hard at photosynthesis.

According to common sense, mushrooms cannot perform photosynthesis because there is no chlorophyll in their bodies.

But the butterfly mushroom is obviously different from ordinary mushrooms. Under the sunlight, its originally white body is very green.

Or maybe it's not a mushroom at all but just looks like one.

Naruto observed the head of Butterfly Shiitake. After a night of training and a free injection of chakra, the head that was severed yesterday had grown back a little.

"dong dong dong"

The wooden door knocked, and Ling Wu's voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Ling Qi, are you up?"

"Ah, morning, Reiwu-sama," Naruto promised lazily.

Lingwu said early, "The president asked me to tell you that she will take you to the trading area of ​​the underground exchange today."

Where is the trading area?

But it sounds like it should be interesting.

"Okay, got it."

Naruto started to get up and get dressed.

It is worth mentioning that although Naruto claimed that Hinata was his fiancée, the idea of ​​sharing a bed with her was shattered.

There is only one reason, and that is that Hinata doesn't agree, and the president doesn't agree either. Well, in fact, no one except himself agrees.

Even if he said he just held her to sleep and did nothing else, it wouldn't work.

No, it was fine when he didn't say it, but after he said it, the women's objections became even stronger.

After washing up and having a simple meal, Naruto and Hinata went to the underground exchange under the leadership of the president.

Zero Four and Zero Five are practicing at home.

Zero Four was partly motivated by Naruto's rapid progress.

And President Lingwu said don’t let Lingliu catch up with you, that’s how honest he was.

The three of them came to the winery of the underground exchange and handed in the task. The guild's level was promoted from one star to two stars.

The president handed the one-star mercenary cards into a pile to the staff.

The staff handed the newly ordered two-star identity card to the president with both hands and said, "Do you need to order uniforms now?"

The president took over seven stacks of two-star guild cards with a slightly complicated expression, "Let's do it, just do what we have done in the past, and then take us to the underground trading area."

The staff respectfully agreed and then made arrangements on the computer.

Naruto took the two-star mercenary card handed to him by the president.

This card is very similar to the identity card made by Naruto. They are both almost the size of an IC card. The one from the underground exchange is slightly longer.

The card is made of metal. In the upper left corner is the name of the union, followed by two stenciled stars.

The extruded grooves of the star stamp are filled with gold, which looks very high-end and classy.

The member's name is in the lower right corner of the card, symmetrical to the guild name in the upper left corner.

"Code name a1028, at your service." A receptionist with a1028 engraved on his mask walked in from the side door and made a gesture of invitation at the same time.

The president stood up and motioned for Naruto and Hinata to follow.

"The trading area is only open to guilds with two stars or above, so I didn't take you there last time."

Everyone followed the receptionist through a tunnel that was two people wide and five meters long. At the end of the tunnel was an elevator.

The elevator was different from the one Naruto knew, because there was no door, the walls were empty, and there was only a round bottom hanging upward.

The mechanical rollers between the elevator and the track are also visible to the naked eye.

To ordinary people, this elevator looks extremely unsafe, but for ninjas, this structure that facilitates escape is actually safe.

The waiter said respectfully: "Please choose the area you want to go to."

The president asked: "What time will the auction take place today?"

Waiter: "There are three shows today. The latest one is ten minutes from now. The other two are one at two o'clock in the afternoon and one at ten o'clock in the evening."

The president replied: "Then go to the auction house."

The waiter nodded in agreement and reminded: "Please gather chakra on the soles of your feet to stabilize your body."

The president did as he was told, and Naruto and Hinata looked at each other and followed suit.

Then there was a hula, and it felt like a free fall. The elevator suddenly dropped and stopped suddenly after five seconds.

Arrive at the station

There was a shielding barrier around and the perception barrier had no effect, but Naruto could feel that the descending height was at least one hundred meters.

What an exciting elevator.

Naruto looked at Hinata with concern and found that Hinata was very calm.

There is indeed a difference between ninjas and normal people.

Then the waiter led everyone through the corridor, and the door opened. The waiter did not step out but turned sideways and saluted: "I look forward to serving you next time."

The president led everyone in, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.

The underground space is not small, and there is a bar in front of it.

The front desk lady is a very iconic beauty.

“Please choose the private room or the lobby.”

The president took out his ID card and said, "Private box, no service."

Entering the box, Naruto suddenly felt a sense of relief.

To be honest, the mysterious underground exchange made him a little nervous.

"Sister President, what are we going to buy today?"

Naruto looked curiously at the thick gilt-edged book in the president's hand.

The president did not open it, but handed it to Naruto and said, "Don't buy anything. I just brought you to see it today."

Look

Naruto took the book that looked very noble and extremely high-quality.

The moment he opened it, his Adam's apple couldn't help but squirm.

In the front of the book, there are more than ten pages full of girls in scantily clad clothes.

The title is Auction Assistant.

Naruto flipped through page after page, a bit slowly.

Hinata couldn't help but pinch Naruto's weak spot.

Naruto cried out: "Why are you pinching me? The president will let me see it."

The president chuckled and said teasingly: "Then do you want me to call a service for you?"

Can I say yes?

Hinata turned over more than ten pages, and Naruto felt a little regretful.

Behind them are the items for auction.

There are ninjutsu, intelligence, and treasure maps.

There are people

There are men, women, and even children.

Hinata was shocked and said: "Why are people still selling people here?"

The president smiled and said: "This is what I asked you to see today, to see the dark side of this world."

"Experience it well. When the auction is over, I will take you to the arena."

Hinata's hand subconsciously held Naruto's hand and asked in a weak voice: "Why are you showing us these?"

The president said calmly: "It can be regarded as the first spiritual baptism for joining the guild. You are all very young. If you are ordinary people, you should not be exposed to these things at your age. But since you choose to take this path, you must first know What kind of road is this? Only in this way can we go on better."

The darkness of the world?

Naruto is not afraid, but is it really okay for Hinata to let her come into contact with these things?
