Chapter 64: Sensei is Trying to Fool Me with Explosive Tags

Uehara looked at Konan, Kisame, Mangetsu, and Zabuza in their Akatsuki uniform, including the ring and nail polish. He couldn’t help but feel envy.

[Side Mission: Put on Akatsuki’s uniform, and bear Akatsuki’s name (0/1)]

[Reward: Unknown.]

The Akatsuki were known as the first terrorist group of the Ninja World!

He could complete this rewarding mission as long as Konan gave him a uniform and agreed to let him become a member of the Akatsuki.

Uehara couldn’t help but move to Konan’s side and ask, “Konan-sensei, I’ve already recruited three new people for the Akatsuki. Could you give me a uniform now?”

“Don’t bother with that.”

Konan taps Uehara on the forehead, “Pain told me that you used the explosive tags to repel Uchiha Obito. Do you still have any of the explosive tags I gave you earlier?”

Uehara, confused, tilted his head as he watched Konan pull out a few scrolls and stuffed them into his arms before rubbing his head, “There are a billion explosive tags in them. Consider this your reward for completing the mission… “

[Side Mission: Collect one billion exposive tags (1,000,000,000/1,000,000,000)]

[Reward: 400 gold coins]

Why was his sensei be like this…

She was trying to use the explosive tags to fool him!

Kisame, Mangetsu, and others’ jaws almost fell off as they watched Konan lightly pass scrolls containing a billion explosive tags to Uehara.

What kind of teacher was this!

She could give out a billion explosive tags on a whim!

Konan doesn’t seem to care about their opinions. During normal battles, she did not use many explosive tags. She only used more when she used them with Kami no Shisha (Paper God) to create ambushes.

Uehara aggrievedly took the scroll, opened and pulled out a pile of explosive tags from it, and handed it to Kisame, “This is the money I owe you.”

Befuddled, Kisame blankly received the explosive tags from Uehara and gave Mangetsu and Zabuza their shares.

They didn’t care about Uehara’s repayment.

It would have been fine if it were just a billion Ryo, but those were explosive tags!

Even in a large country, an explosive tag could be sold for at least two thousand Ryo, and that was when you could buy them.

His sensei was really rich!

Konan, hearing Uehara’s words, couldn’t help but frown. She stared at Uehara and asked, “Why do you owe them money?”

Uehara began to think of a suitable excuse.

Kisame immediately tried to help him out, “We met Konoha’s Tsunade-sama on our way and Uehara-sama and her gamble twice, which led to him losing several million Ryo…”

Uehara’s head slowly turned, staring at Kisame with a desperate look. What’s wrong with you, Kisame?!

Uehara told him earlier that he shouldn’t disclose the reason he lost money in Yugakure. Didn’t he already return the money to him?

Uehara’s gaze on him turned cold.

Konan stretched out her palm and slowly grabbed Uehara’s head. Her face was gloomy, and she looked a little flustered.

The woman’s palm slowly moved downward, stroking the cheek of the young ninja in front, resting her fingers on Uehara’s earlobe.

Konan’s voice became icy, “Naraku, did you learned to gamble?”

“I did not. I never even thought about it…”

Uehara shook his head repeatedly and explained, “I noticed Tsunade-senpai living in a difficult situation and since she was once Jiraiya-senpai teammate after. My purpose was to get Tsunade-senpai to look Kimimaro’s health…”

The truth was, he was just completing a system mission!

Why would he have any other thoughts?

Konan’s death gaze lasted for a while before finally softening, “You shouldn’t gamble in the future, understand? And Jiraiya… said that… Tsunade-senpai was hopeless. No matter how much you give her, she would still become impoverished due to her gambling.”

Uehara hadn’t expected that Jiraiya to have commented on his old teammate more than ten years ago, but his words still rang true.

What’s the point of letting Tsunade win so much money?

In the end, she would still lose everything!

Kisame had already put on the uniform. He glanced at Uehara in embarrassment and chuckled, “Uehara-sama, I’ll go with my teammates first.”

Uehara bitterly squeezed his mouth into a smile.

Kisame was his spy, but after joining the Akatsuki, the first thing he did was to “inadvertently” reveal his affairs to Konan.

This guy was not as honest as he thought!

Keep your mouth shut, don’t you understand!

If it were not for Uehara’s cleverness, he wouldn’t have found a barely acceptable reason. If he didn’t, Konan would be angry at him for several days!

“Don’t blame me, Uehara-sama.”

Kisame spread his hands, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more intense, “I just thought that Uehara-sama shouldn’t do things like that at his age. Konan-senpai should take care of his disciples!”

“I see. Thank you for your reminder.”

After Konan nodded, her impression of Kisame immediately became more friendly and trusting.

After leaving the base.

Zabuza couldn’t help but look at Kisame with a chuckle and said, “Hey, you’ve offended that kid this time!”

The smile on Kisame’s face remained undiminished. He glanced at Zabuza as if looking at a mentally retarded person, “I didn’t notice that!”

Mangetsu glanced at Kisame thoughtfully and said softly, “In fact, master has a lot of respect for his sensei. Before we came back, he often inadvertently mentioned his sensei.”

“Looks like you’re not an idiot then!”

Kisame chuckled lightly as his smile widened before leaving to see his new partner.

Itachi was at the lake again, thinking about life.

Now Itachi was in a remorseful mood, were there really people like Mangetsu in this world?

If he had a chance, he should come up with a way to figure out how Mangetsu controls his brother, right?

The sound of Samehada piercing the ground disrupted Itachi’s thinking. Kisame stood behind him and softly said, “What were you thinking about? The famous Itachi… “

Itachi closed his eyes. He didn’t want to answer.

Kisame walked towards Itachi, step by step, “Do you want me to guess? How about, how should I prevent others from noticing… that I’m actually like Mangetsu. That I’m someone who wants to protect his little brother?”

Itachi’s face did not change, but he stretched out his hand and slowly brushed his hair out of his eyes and whispered, “Stop it with the meaningless words…”

The smile on the face of Kisame was very kind, “I’m just making sure. If you really don’t care about your brother, I plan to kill him and extract his pair of Sharingans. My chakra is quite abundant, so chakra drain should be acceptable.”

Itachi’s fingers trembled involuntarily.

This new shark-faced teammate of his was the hardest test of his acting skills since coming to the Akatsuki.

Akatsuki’s members were all extremely mentally ill, so Itachi couldn’t judge the authenticity of his words.

Kisame noticed Itachi’s fingers’ tiny movements, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker. It seems that the boss’s judgment was right again!

He waited until Itachi finally couldn’t resist saying something to continue speaking.

The smile on the shark’s face became a bit sullen, “Well, I’m joking… I value watching a duel between brothers more than a pair of Sharingans.”
