In the tavern, the eyes of the guests have been withdrawn to the cubicles due to the death stare of the bully before he left.
Uchiha Xia took advantage of no one's attention, and changed his appearance with a transformation technique.
Shizune hasn't realized what "an opportunity has come", she is still in a disappointed mood, feeling that Uchiha Xia is not like the Hokage she imagined.
Uchiha Natsu didn't explain immediately, but walked forward with another face, and came to the tavern owner.
At this time, the tavern owner was already devastated and his face was depressed. Obviously, he didn't expect that the villain would kill him directly.
Uchiha Natsu squatted down, glanced at the proprietress' injuries, and found that the woman hadn't been slashed.
The bully wasn't completely brainless, he didn't kill people directly, he just scratched the skin and let the wound bleed a little to frighten the couple.
It was the same when the man left just now, but I didn't avoid his gaze, but that man didn't easily provoke him, obviously knowing that he should not provoke strangers easily.
The proprietress lay motionless on the ground, she looked as if she was dead, but she just fainted from fright.
Uchiha Natsu activated the movie king gene, her face was dignified at first, then her face eased, and she said calmly:
"Although the proprietress is seriously injured and only has one breath left, it happens that I have Konoha's high-efficiency wound medicine, so I can save her."
The proprietress was not seriously injured, but she must be "very seriously injured".
The tavern owner was so frightened that his face was ashen. When he heard this, he raised his head in surprise and looked at the ordinary-looking young man in black beside him.
Afterwards, he fell on the ground with his whole body, and came to Uchiha Natsu with a seat, begging tremblingly: "Please help!"
At this time, the drinkers had poked their heads out again, and after hearing what Uchiha Xia said, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
That guy actually made a killing move. After Payne's incident broke out, he really became unscrupulous.
But because of the bully's power, although these people scolded that person severely in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything.
If the bully heard about it, he might be in trouble someday.
Outsiders are not too afraid, but most of the people who are still pushing drinks in the tavern at this time are locals.
Uchiha Xia looked around, and after seeing everyone's expressions, he nodded secretly, and then took out a potential jelly bean.
Opened the lady boss's mouth and stuffed the jelly beans in.
Then, he took out the wound medicine and a roll of white gauze from the scroll, tore off the clothes on the proprietress' abdomen from the gap, spread the medicine on it, and wrapped it up a few times to cover the wound.
The tavern owner looked at Uchiha Xia's operation stupidly, and always felt that the treatment was too casual, and the bandaging technique was too rough, not very professional.
But then, the proprietress woke up leisurely, even if the boss had suspected Uchiha Xia's identity before, she had to believe it now.
The boss quickly helped his wife to sit up and asked eagerly. After learning that his wife's life was not in danger, he was finally relieved.
He fell to the ground again, knelt down to Natsu Uchiha, thanked him a thousand times, and took out a small bag of coins to thank him.
The proprietress also felt a sense of survival after a catastrophe, and the burning pain in her abdomen woke her up.
She quickly tightened the torn clothes with her hands, and thanked Uchiha Xia for saving her life with her husband.
Seeing this scene, the drinkers around felt that this ordinary-looking young man was a good person. On the contrary, they were extremely angry at the bully who had just acted out of control.
Uchiha Xia collected a hundred taels symbolically, and then asked: "Who was that person just now? Why did you ask for money from you?"
Shizune came over from behind and said, "The man just now is called Takisuke, and he is the only son of the mayor of Baanchu Street."
Uchiha Natsu turned her head and looked at Shizune walking to the left, knowing that she should know a lot.
So, he turned around and said to the tavern owner:
"You help the proprietress to rest first, and recover from your injuries. Although it will be open as usual tomorrow, don't be afraid."
The tavern owner thanked him again, not daring to delay, and took his wife to the resting room through the back door.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, the drinkers stopped watching and shrank their heads back one after another.
Uchiha Natsu brought Shizune to the corner, and the two sat down one after another.
Shizune looked at Natsu Uchiha with a strange look in his eyes, and asked after thinking for a while, "Master Godaime, why didn't you take action just now?"
Uchiha Natsu looked at Shizune's expression, and then replied:
"Don't be in a hurry, saving people is the most important thing. Didn't the bully say he'll come back tomorrow, wouldn't it be best to deal with it then?"
Jing Yin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of any clues, so he could only say depressedly: "Then why did you use the transformation technique to change into this look?"
Uchiha Natsu replied of course: "Tomorrow I will pose as Hokage. If people know that I am Hokage, they will think I am a hypocrite."
Jing Yin couldn't react, and asked blankly, "Why?"
"Today they don't know my strength, they will think that I can't beat that bully, so they stand by when he leaves.
"But if I were Hokage, then this matter would turn out to be Hokage. Hokage just let this kind of bully do his best in his own territory, and he has the ability to solve it the next day. Isn't it hypocritical?"
Uchiha Natsu took a sip of the herbal tea on the table, but there was no one in the nearby seats, so no one could hear what he said.
Jing Yin felt a little dizzy, and asked again: "Then why didn't you take action just now?"
After finishing speaking, Jing Yin suddenly realized that she had already asked this question.
She felt that her head was not enough, and she had the urge to hit the wall.
After the matryoshka was over, Natsu Uchiha put down his teacup and asked seriously: "You just said you know the identity of that bully, tell me the information about him."
Jing Yin came back to his senses, immediately rubbed his temples, and replied:
"That man's name is Takisuke, and he is the only son of the mayor of Baanshu Street. In addition to collecting taxes from residents, the mayor of Baanchu Street also collects rent from merchants every month, and Takisuke's job is to help his father to Rent is collected from big merchants.”
"Collect rent?" Uchiha Natsu frowned.
Taxation is a normal policy of the Fire Nation, but what is rent?
Mute explained:
"This is a private regulation of the mayor. After the merchants buy the house and storefront, the land still belongs to the mayor. Therefore, they must pay monthly rent to open the store normally, otherwise the store that does not pay the money will be demolished.
"The rent price charged by the mayor is actually many times higher than the tax. There is not much money left for each household to pay once a month, and the rent paid by a big store like this is even more."
This is the first time Uchiha Xia has heard such a statement, and this kind of intelligence is not within the scope of Anbu's investigation.
After all, the Anbu has limited manpower, and the information they inquire about is all about ninja forces at home and abroad, and taxes and rents are all national policies under the jurisdiction of the Daimyo Prefecture.
Yuan Qianya took office not long ago, so she must have not had time to take care of them one by one, and now she is in a coma due to poisoning, and the future operation of the Daming Mansion is still a problem.
However, after the integration of ninja forces across the country, Uchiha Xia's power expanded to the entire country of fire, and these ordinary people's officials are also under his jurisdiction.
This mayor manages a small place, but he is quite courageous, and the money he has been greedy for this year may not be counted.
Uchiha Natsu asked doubtfully: "You know so well, you should have encountered it more than once. Tsunade-senpai didn't intend to take care of it?"
Shizune saw Uchiha Natsu looking at herself again, so she shook her head and replied:
"Master Tsunade doesn't want to be nosy, and she doesn't let me take care of it. She just borrows money, evades debts, and gambles every day."
Uchiha Xia said clearly: "This is heartbroken, thinking that the world is hopeless."
Mute agrees.
Uchiha Xia already had a plan, and said to Shizune:
"Tomorrow morning, if a creditor comes to you, try to cooperate with the creditor and let Tsunade agree to the creditor's request."
As soon as he heard the word creditor, Shizune looked a little terrified, as if recalling the scene where Tsunade was being chased all over the world.
"Remember, keep it secret so you don't get caught, and if you change your accommodation, please leave me an address."
Shizune finally understood the meaning of Uchiha Natsu's words, and left their new address to Uchiha Natsu.
Then, she got up and left.
Uchiha Natsu also left the tavern and turned to a side alley.
Stopped and waited, and after a while, a figure appeared not far in front of him, kneeling on one knee and saluting.
The figure has a mask on its head and an Anbu costume.
Uchiha Natsu didn't bring Shisui and Kakashi out, but only a few ordinary members of the Shadow Guard, all of whom were special jounin.
Because of the war, Kakashi and Shisui left Anbu and joined Uzuki Yugao's team.
Now they are one of the main forces facing Payne. In order to prevent Payne from suddenly stealing the house, they must keep all the top players in Konoha.
Bringing Uzuki Xiyan out is a special case, and the circumstances are special.
"Check someone for me, and I'll see the result within twenty minutes." Uchiha Natsu reached out and handed a note to Anbu Ninja.
About ten minutes later, the Anbe members returned early, holding up their hands, and bowed to hand a scroll to Uchiha Xia.
Uchiha Natsu picked up the scroll, opened it, and all the information about a person was printed inside, including the current address, which was clear and specific.
The man in the photo was one of Tsunade's creditors when he was at the hotel during the day.
***
The next morning, Uzuki Xiyan woke up slowly and found that it was not a dark "basement" but a decent room.
Thinking of her teacher's bad behavior yesterday, Uzuki Xiyan had black lines all over her face, sat up from the bed and turned her head to look at the window.
An outstanding teacher who got his underage student drunk was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the scenery outside.
As Uchiha Xia said, Uzuki Xiyan, who had been transformed by Senrenmaru, did not have the adverse reactions of normal people after waking up from drunkenness, but was refreshed as before.
People who have taken the Immortal Pill, even if they are six-year-old children, after drinking so much wine yesterday, they will wake up as if nothing happened.
There will be no memory loss after drinking, no discomfort when waking up, and it will not affect the healthy development of the body, mind and brain.
But Uzuki Xiyan always feels that underage—especially underage girls drink alcohol, there is an inexplicable sense of guilt, as if they have done something bad.
Still being led by the teacher to do bad things... Thinking of this, there are more black lines on Uzuki Xiyan's forehead.
Uchiha Natsu turned around and said with a warm smile: "Wake up, wash up and have some breakfast."
Maoyue Xiyan didn't answer, but just snorted and turned her head away, so that the teacher could recognize the fact: your disciple didn't forgive you, please don't pretend to be thankful.
Uchiha Natsu shook his head helplessly, turned around and continued to look at the scenery, without any sign of anger.
In fact, except for guiding Uzuki Xiyan to train and perform tasks more strictly, Uchiha Xia has always been very gentle.
When the two became masters and apprentices for the first year, Uzuki Xiyan would have petty feelings with him over some trivial matters.
It's just that with the passage of time, this situation has become less and less, and for some reason, Uzuki Xiyan is no longer as lively as she was at the beginning.
It may be because of getting older, or it may be because of the influence of illusion, in short, it is becoming more and more silent.
Now, it seems to be back to that time again - the little purple-haired man had to live in the basement after completing the task because the teacher was too cautious, puffing out his cheeks to express his dissatisfaction.
Uchiha Natsu had no family in this world, and lived alone for ten years until he left the corpse disposal class and became Uzuki Yuyan's teacher.
One person's life has become two people's life. If you want to say that the closest to your family is Uzuki Xiyan.
The two lived together, fought side by side, and got along day and night for three years. Looking back now, it looks like two brothers and sisters who depend on each other for life.
In the bathroom, Uzuki Xiyan was a little surprised.
After drinking so much wine, not only does it not smell like wine, but as usual, the skin naturally exudes an elegant fragrance.
But this still can't offset the fact that the teacher got his underage disciples drunk, Uzuki Xiyan decided to add this guilt to the teacher as well.
Now her teacher has two charges.
One (important*): I forgot the most important agreement with my disciples.
The second: getting the underage female disciple drunk, and out of some ulterior motive, broke the shadow clone reserved by the disciple just in case, the behavior was extremely bad.
Looking at the few lines of small characters on the small book in her hand, the more Uzuki Xiyan thought about it, the more she felt that the teacher was hateful, and then picked up a pen and added two words at the beginning of the next line.
Third:
Thirdly, there is no content written in the back, which is reserved, and she feels that the teacher will help her fill this in sooner or later.
Only then was Uzuki Xiyan satisfied, and then through a gap in a certain page in front, she accidentally saw the densely packed small characters inside.
It was her diary, from the day she graduated. As long as she is on a mission with the teacher, she will write in the diary.
This diary has not been updated for a long time.
Uzuki Xiyan looked a little dazed, and raised her hand to touch her chest, remembering the scene of the meeting in Konoha before.
"In exchange for the ability to see immortal jade...?"
After muttering something in a low voice, she came back to her senses, quickly closed the diary, sealed it in a scroll and put it away.
After a simple wash, the master and apprentice had breakfast together, and then Uchiha Natsu left the hotel with Uzuki Yuyan and came to the tavern last night.
Uzuki Yuyan stood at the door of the tavern, looking at Uchiha Natsu speechlessly.
"Master, do you want your disciple to go to bed from late to early, and then from early to late?"
Although she didn't want to talk to the teacher who performed poorly in the short term, she really couldn't hold back anymore.
I don't know what the serious teacher in the past is thinking about now.
It stands to reason that if it were someone else, they would have to suspect that Uchiha Xia had conspired against him.
But Maoyue Xiyan can't, she knows what her teacher's virtue is.
In her impression, nothing could happen if a cow-level beauty like Hyuga Rena was stripped off and still on him.
Oh yes, this has been confirmed, and the vacation at Yunyin is a good proof.
And as Uchiha Xia said, their master and apprentice are more like family members. Is there still a brother who is interested in a sister in this world?
As we all know, such a person does not exist.
Because of this, Uzuki Xiyan felt confused. What is the teacher's motivation for doing this?
Uchiha Xia heard the words and turned his head, the master and apprentice stared at each other, and he just realized it.
The relationship was misunderstood, Uchiha Natsu said with black lines all over his head: "How can I be so dishonest?"
Maoyue Xiyan snorted, smiled without saying a word.
?
The corners of Uchiha Natsu's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly:
"This time I'm here to carry out a mission. I have a hunch that I might encounter Immortal Jade today, and it's near here."
Hearing Xianrenyu, Maoyue Xiyan immediately put away other emotions and looked serious.
Uchiha Natsu is very satisfied, and Uzuki Yuyan is like this, no matter how much she played around before, when it's time to do business, she will instantly become serious, unambiguous at all.
Uchiha Natsu lifted the curtain of the tavern and walked in with Uzuki Yuyan.
Although something like that happened in the tavern yesterday, it is not closed today, and it is still open as usual.
The proprietress just rested for one night, and the injury has recovered. At this time, she is sitting nervously behind the cashier, her eyes looking at the door from time to time.
From time to time, the tavern owner poked his head out from the back kitchen, glanced around, and then retracted to continue working.
In fact, the tavern didn't have much savings. They just used the saved money to overhaul the tavern a few days ago and spent all their savings.
After the repair, the first floor has become two floors, the tavern can entertain more guests, and the speed of making money will also increase.
According to the normal situation, before the "rent collection" next month, they will be able to earn a huge amount of rent, and then they will have no worries.
Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened. The mayor felt that the Kingdom of Fire was about to collapse, and wanted to collect money crazily.
Of course, on the surface, this is not the mayor's idea, but his son's idea.
Everyone knew it well, but they dared not speak out. After all, the mayor's family dominates here.
If you ask why the merchants still stay here to be oppressed, there is a reason for it~www..com~ Baanchu Street has a lot of people, even if it is charged once a month, it is more profitable than other places a bit more.
Except for Konoha, which has a relatively large population base and special nature, Baanchu Street is currently the most prosperous town in the Land of Fire.
The premise is not to charge the rent twice.
Some merchants who had made good deals in the past, no one was able to pay for the tavern at this time, because they were also charged twice for rent, and they couldn't take care of themselves.
If there is no money to pay, the store can only be smashed today.
It's useless to close the door. Takisuke, who wants to intimidate others, will not let them go just because the door is closed.
I can only place my hopes on the benefactor last night, but the couple both know that there is not much hope.
The mayor supports a family of ninjas, who can be tracked by various means. Ordinary people like them cannot escape even if they escape.
The drinkers from last night also came early to see how things were going.
After the comparison of the young man in black, Takisuke's image is already a heinous crime, if they can't do it, they will...
Let's all pool some money, resistance is a dead end.
The entire tavern was filled with a gloomy cloud of depression, but in a certain compartment, gambling was being carried out with high spirits, which seemed out of place.
