Chapter 153

Getting up and yawning, Uchiha Jin walked out of the courtyard first.

Uchiha Itachi was somewhat startled.

Clearly.

He had never expected that even after Uchiha Jin became his teacher, he would still be so lazy.

Shouldn't a teacher be strict?

However.

Since he had already become an apprentice, although he didn't understand it in his heart, he knew to respect his teacher.

Following Uchiha Jin with a light trot, the two left the Uchiha clan grounds and arrived at Konoha's commercial center.

"Is this, Uchiha?"

"Hurry and hide, don't bump into them."

"Right!"

"..."

As the two walked along, the Konoha villagers' expressions changed drastically.

Their faces turned pale, and their eyes were filled with terror.

Uchiha Itachi's expression was very ugly.

His eyes were filled with sadness; he couldn't understand why everyone was like this—just because they were Uchiha?

But, the problem was.

They hadn't done anything wrong!

Since he was born, he had rarely left the clan grounds, precisely because he couldn't stand the eyes of the Konoha villagers.

Therefore.

The young him would rather stay in the clan grounds; if it weren't for Uchiha Jin, he definitely wouldn't have chosen to leave before starting school.

The world outside the clan grounds was hell for Itachi.

"Teacher, why do we have to leave the clan grounds?" Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but ask.

He felt uncomfortable all over.

The eyes of the civilians around were like knives.

Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "Of course, it's to eat!"

"But..." Itachi wanted to refute.

After all, in his view, just to eat, why leave the clan grounds?

There were restaurants in the clan too!

But, it was a pity.

Before Itachi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Uchiha Jin.

"Alright, shut up."

"You can't even stay still while eating; just follow me."

"The world is big, but eating is the biggest!"

After saying that.

Ignoring Uchiha Itachi, he walked straight ahead.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

He, of course, was not reconciled.

But Jin had already spoken to this extent, and this wasn't the Uchiha clan grounds.

So, there was no way.

He could only bury his doubts in his heart and follow Jin to the Ichiraku Ramen shop.

"Yo, Jin-kun!"

"And you brought a little friend; what are you two eating today?"

Old Man Teuchi wore a faint smile.

Uchiha Jin showed a faint smile and waved his hand immediately: "Old Man Teuchi, the usual for me."

"Itachi, what do you want to eat?"

Uchiha Itachi was at a loss.

He had no experience dealing with other clans, and hearing this, he could only stutter.

"I..."

He stuttered for a long time, unable to say anything.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin explained with a smile.

"Old Man Teuchi, sorry."

"Itachi has never left the clan grounds, so he's a bit shy; give him a bowl of soy-sauce bone ramen."

"Children are growing, they should eat more meat!"

Teuchi Ichiraku didn't say much.

He just greeted Itachi with a smile and turned to make the ramen.

After a short while, Ayame ran in in a rush.

Patting Uchiha Jin on the shoulder, Ayame couldn't help but roar: "Jin, you're too much! It's one thing to eat and drink for free, but now you're bringing a little one?"

"My family is going to be eaten poor by you!"

Uchiha Jin looked calm.

He was basically raised by Teuchi's family and had been bickering with Ayame since childhood.

He was long used to this.

While eating ramen, he shrugged.

"Ayame, I need to educate you."

"Sitting in front of you now is Uchiha Jin, who has just been promoted to Special Jonin and made great contributions on the battlefield."

"So first, you should call me Lord Jin!"

"When I take a mission now, it starts at 600,000 ryo, understand?"

"I have money!"

"So for a big customer like me, you should suck up to me more."

"Got it?"

However, on the other side.

Ayame crossed her arms, her face full of disdain.

"Oh, Lord Jonin!" Ayame spread her right hand: "So, where's the money?"

Uchiha Jin looked awkward.

Based on his performance on the battlefield, his mission bonus was naturally quite large.

Conservatively estimated, it was around two million ryo.

But, the problem was.

They were currently in a period of war, and the village had no intention of issuing mission bonuses.

And, on the other side.

Although he was also an Uchiha elder and Minister of the Police Force, he had only just taken office.

It would be a long time before he got paid!

So at this moment, his face fell immediately.

"This, I don't have!"

"My mission bonus won't be issued until the war ends."

Ayame laughed out loud.

She patted Uchiha Jin on the shoulder and let out a ruthless mockery.

"So, Lord Jonin?" Ayame teased: "You're still a poor ghost, then."

"Shut up!"

Uchiha Jin was immediately furious.

Good grief! ===== CHAPTER 154 =====
