Chapter 33: Shisui

Uchiha Jin's brows knit tightly.

He realized something was wrong in an instant; Nara Shikaku couldn't possibly be that stupid, so why would he act this way?

Was it simply because the ones who died were Uchihas, so he didn't want to waste time investigating?

Or was it because of the war, and he didn't want Konoha to fall into internal strife over this?

He fell into deep thought.

Of course, none of that mattered; what he cared about was whether Nara Shikaku had already set his sights on him.

But, forget it!

Regardless of whether Nara Shikaku had noticed, since he hadn't spoken up yet, there was no need for him to overthink it.

What he lacked most right now was time!

As long as he kept lying low and developing, once he became a Kage-level expert, it wouldn't matter if things were exposed.

In this ninja world, the strong are still respected.

After thinking this through, he spoke with a smile.

"So, that's how it is."

"For me, this is indeed a good thing."

"With Uchiha Yoshio and the others dead, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Watching Uchiha Jin sighing with emotion, Shisui looked conflicted.

There was no helping it.

Being kind-hearted, he couldn't accept this mindset of Uchiha Jin's.

However.

He also understood that Uchiha Jin had been humiliated by Uchiha Yoshio and the others for years, so no matter how unhappy he was about it, he could only remain silent.

He shook his head bitterly and took a deep breath.

"Alright, let's not talk about this."

"I've brought everything you wanted."

"Take a look first, do you like them?"

Shisui didn't want to continue that topic, so he naturally took out three scrolls.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin's eyes lit up with gold.

He first inspected the first scroll; it contained a full three thousand explosive tags, five hundred steel kunai, and two hundred shuriken.

This made his mouth twitch, and he couldn't stop sighing in his heart.

The Uchiha are truly filthy rich.

One explosive tag costs one thousand ryo, so this alone is two million ryo.

Adding the kunai and shuriken, the value of this one scroll alone was nearly five million ryo.

No wonder.

In the original story, when the Uchiha clan was wiped out and the entire family estate was reclaimed by the village, Sasuke couldn't even be bothered to care about these things.

It stands to reason that even if the bulk of the Uchiha's wealth was reclaimed, the scraps left over would be enough for Sasuke to squander for a lifetime.

Plus, that guy only wanted revenge; he probably had no concept of money at all.

When he first transmigrated, he saw the nine hundred thousand ryo his parents left behind and thought it was barely a huge sum.

Now it seems he was too young.

The items used to compensate him within the clan alone were worth nearly five million ryo.

Comparing it all, his parents were just poor people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak.

"Shisui, isn't this too much?"

"Did you use your own money to subsidize me?"

Shisui laughed heartily upon hearing this.

He shook his head with a smile and shrugged.

"You're overthinking it; this is just the compensation from the clan."

"It's only worth five million ryo, is that really a lot?"

"If I do a B-rank mission, the starting pay is six hundred thousand ryo, and if it's an A-rank mission, it starts at two million."

"Whether for the clan or for me, this scroll is just the harvest of a few missions."

"What's truly valuable are the other two scrolls."

"The second scroll contains the early sword of one of my grandfather's ancestors; just in terms of value, it's worth at least five hundred million ryo, after all, it's mixed with a large amount of chakra metal and a small amount of meteorite iron from beyond the heavens."

"As for the accompanying sword technique, it is also an Uchiha family heirloom, not a bit weaker than the Hatake sword technique; it's just that our clan has few sword masters."

"And the one with the highest value is the third scroll."

"Izanagi and Izanami, these are the clan's secret techniques that are never passed on; those are the true priceless treasures."

Hiss!

After hearing this, Uchiha Jin gasped.

Good heavens.

Truly worthy of being a clan with a thousand-year history!

No wonder the Hokage lineage had been trying to kill off the Uchiha ever since the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

Damn it, they are really rich!
