Chapter 276 Going Home
Looking at the system prompts in his mind, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, the successful recapture of Neji was largely due to the joint pressure from himself and Master Gama.

Strictly speaking, the kidnapping of Hinata Hanabi only served to provide intelligence in this matter.

It does not really constitute a so-called "one-for-one" exchange.

Based on your understanding of this system.

In a case like this, the system may very likely determine that "no reward will be given".

But no matter what, the moment Hanabi returned home, Sasuke finally got what he wanted from the system.

turn on.

Looking at the C-rank scroll with azure light in his mind, Uchiha Sasuke muttered in his heart.

[You opened the C-level scroll. Congratulations. You have received 3 million taels of silver.]

Compared to the first time you get a monetary reward.

This time, Uchiha Sasuke's attitude became much more mature.

After this period of experience, Sasuke has realized it.

In addition to ninjutsu, money is also another form of "power".

Of course, this is also largely related to the fact that his current strength has greatly increased. The whole person is no longer the same as before.

At that time, he was too eager and too anxious about becoming stronger.

But now, after opening an S-level scroll, Sasuke has become much more relaxed about becoming stronger.

Especially after experiencing the turmoil related to the Hyuga clan, Sasuke gradually understood another truth.

Strength is important, but strength does not mean that it can be roughly replaced by anything you want.

The higher the level of the power system, the more people and affairs it will involve.

It is like wanting to pick out a tumor on your arm. It is best to have excellent eyesight to see the situation clearly, and to have the precise operating ability of a scalpel, and finally to complete the cutting steadily, accurately and ruthlessly.

And despite its enormous strength, it is just like a powerful chainsaw when faced with the complex structure of the human body.

In a situation where one move could affect the entire body, using brute force to destroy everything is a solution, but Sasuke always feels that

That doesn't seem to be the route I should choose.

A long time ago, he would often ponder over the advice given by a senior netizen.

//
“If you want to go far, walk with a group; if you want to fly high, fly alone. I always read this sentence and it is always fresh in my mind.”

"Since the beginning of history, the entire Uchiha family has been taking the second path, and no one has succeeded. Nizhuzi, you can do whatever you want."

//
The tendency of this predecessor is actually very obvious.

I must admit that during this turmoil within the Hyuga clan, I had the urge to directly overthrow the Hyuga family several times.

But the influence of this sentence from the netizen senior is also deepening on me in a subtle way.

In short, monetary rewards are another extension of "power" in the ninja world.

Thirty million may not be enough, but if it is multiplied by a few million, it is possible to create a "money escape".

Uchiha Sasuke was lost in thought while rummaging through his pockets.

A simple passbook has appeared there.

Compared to the last time when money was lavishly packed in a suitcase, this time the reward form was much more low-key.

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head and carefully looked at the relevant information.

The owner of the passbook is naturally your own identity.

When he counted the balance carefully, the long string of zeros made Sasuke feel dizzy.

At the same time, an easy-to-remember withdrawal password naturally appeared in his mind.

Sasuke checked the passbook again and then put it away carefully.

Last time, I used the D-level reward of one million taels to buy a very handy weapon.

This time, the C-level reward of 30 million taels should be enough to do bigger things.

By the way, is the value difference between Class D and Class C as much as thirty times?

Uchiha Sasuke thought about it.

Considering the rewards received in the past, perhaps the high and low fluctuations within the range are the true reflection.

From this perspective, one million taels should be on the low side compared to other D-level rewards.

Compared with other C-level rewards, these 30 million taels are probably a bit high.

Before I knew it, the outline of the Hokage's residence had appeared not far ahead.

Every time Uchiha Sasuke came back here, a smile would unconsciously appear on his face.
-
"eat!"

Back home, Uzumaki Naruto and Jiraiya were eating dinner at the dining table.

When they saw Sasuke come in, the two greeted him very naturally.

"Eat it!"

Uchiha Sasuke first changed his shoes under the porch, and then reached out and took off the "Kusanagi Sword·Moon Shadow" from his waist.

He walked straight back to his room, put his weapons and ninja bag away properly, and prepared to change into more casual home clothes.

The master and apprentice at the dinner table were already accustomed to this process.

Hearing Uchiha Sasuke's door open again, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but immediately asked loudly:
"Are you eating with your little girlfriend from the Hyuuga family?"

Uzumaki Naruto laughed and stretched out a little finger high, while holding up the bowl with his other hand to drink the soup after meal.

Uchiha Sasuke walked out of the bedroom shirtless, with his pullover halfway put on.

In the darkness, hearing Uzumaki Naruto's words, one couldn't help but freeze in action.

Little girlfriend?

Which?

Fireworks?
Uchiha Sasuke just found this question incredible.

He just slowly poked his head out of his pullover and ignored Naruto's question.

He casually walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, then reached out to take the candied fruit on the coffee table.

Coincidentally, the same candied peach bars were placed on the coffee table today.

Seeing the familiar plate of candied fruit, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but recall the moment when Hinata Hanabi guessed what the medicinal oil was.

The look of smugness as he crossed his legs and swayed from side to side.

For a moment, I couldn't help laughing.

"Shit! Are you really in love?!"

Originally, Sasuke ignored him, which was perfectly normal in Uzumaki Naruto's opinion.

But at this moment, seeing Uchiha Sasuke laughing to himself, Uzumaki Naruto was suddenly shocked and felt creepy.

On the side, Jiraiya also came over with great interest, lying on the other side of the sofa, and asked with a gossipy look on his face:
"how is it going?
"How are you getting along? Is that girl to your liking?"

Uchiha Sasuke came to his senses and saw the behavior of his master and disciple. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

His face flushed slightly, he coughed lightly, and said coldly:

“What’s up.

"Not everything is done according to your instructions."

"Hey! I was just talking to Naruto, he didn't say anything, and I didn't think about it that way.

"Thinking about it later, I think it makes sense." Jiraiya clapped his hands and laughed:

"I think if you really like this little girl Hinata Hanabi, it will be a great help to you in the future."

Originally, Uchiha Sasuke didn’t think so much about it.

But now, the two people closest to me are talking to me nonstop.

For a moment, I was a little upset and didn't know how to deal with it.

"You lecherous sage, why are you only asking Sasuke what he thinks? In my opinion, the girl may not even like him!"

For a moment, Uzumaki Naruto felt a little unhappy and said this loudly on purpose.

“Huh, you think they are all like you.

"I lost half my life chasing a pink-haired girl, and I couldn't even pull her hand away."

Jiraiya immediately retorted:
"Your senior brother is a very handsome man. In the entire Konoha, he is the only one who can compete with me in terms of appearance.

"You don't understand. Men like us are like the blazing sun.

"Any woman who sees us will be like a moth that flies into a raging fire without regrets, and in the end, burn to pieces."

Jiraiya held himself affectionately, groping his arms up and down while shaking exaggeratedly.

"Dirty old man!"

Uzumaki Naruto felt a chill and complained loudly.

“Oh, I don’t know why.

"Somehow, I feel that the next Hokage's wife should be from the Hyuga clan."

Jiraiya said casually as he lowered his arms with a hearty smile.

"what!

"I'm the man who's going to be Hokage!"

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly became jealous and protested loudly.

"I didn't say it wasn't you."

Zilai also laughed.

"Then, the next Hokage's wife should be from the Haruno clan!"

Uzumaki Naruto said loudly.

"You don't even know what a clan is, and you still want to be Hokage."

Jiraiya rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway! I am the man who will become the Hokage!"

Uzumaki Naruto said stubbornly.

"Really? Then who was it that risked his life to break into Orochimaru's base, obtained a large amount of intelligence, and successfully killed the opponent's No. 2 figure?"

Jiraiya raised his eyes and asked in a pretentious tone.

"Yes, it's Sasuke."

Uzumaki Naruto was speechless for a moment, and reluctantly lowered his head and answered obediently.

"So, who was the ninja who single-handedly killed Scorpion of the Red Sand in the Sand Village, and then used the Lightning Release 'Kirin' to block the Akatsuki's attack that was about to destroy the village?"

"It's still Sasuke."

Uzumaki Naruto no longer had the courage he had before, and spoke weakly.

"Then, who was that idiot who stopped Might Guy from carrying out his mission in the Sand Village, and then forcibly launched a forbidden technique, almost killing himself?"

Jiraiya asked excitedly, with a look of trying not to laugh, and continued to tease Uzumaki Naruto.

"Lustful fairy!"

Uzumaki Naruto finally couldn't help but protest loudly.

"Hahaha, anyway, the matter of the Hokage position is not decided by me alone.

"There are so many eyes watching you in the village, just keep working hard."

Jiraiya knew that he had teased her a little too much, so he quickly tried to comfort her.

"Okay! I won't lose to you!
"Sasuke!"

Uzumaki Naruto immediately looked like he was excited, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly at Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke sat on the sofa, turned his head and looked at the two funny guys beside him, he couldn't help but sigh, nodded and said lightly:
"Then, come on."

Seeing that Jiraiya and the others were going to continue making noise, Uchiha Sasuke immediately asked:
"Who's going to wash the dishes today?
"Please clean up after you finish eating. I can't stand you sloppy guys."

Beside him, the two were stunned. Just as Jiraiya was about to speak, Uzumaki Naruto immediately pretended to be miserable and said:
"My lecherous sage, my hand hasn't fully healed yet, and the medical ninja told me not to touch water."

"Stop talking nonsense! I saw that you were fine when you were snatching the chicken leg just now."

Listening to the familiar noisy voices of the two, Uchiha Sasuke smiled.

Just as I was about to lean back on the sofa and close my eyes to rest, I heard Jiraiya's serious voice:

"It's just right that you're back. We still need to meet again regarding the follow-up arrangements for the Hyuga clan. There are a few things I need to confirm with you."

"Huh? Okay."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke immediately stood up.

On the side, when Uzumaki Naruto heard about these official documents, he felt sleepy.

He didn't stay any longer and went to wash the dishes reluctantly.

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke followed Master Gama into the study and closed the door. Jiraiya immediately asked:
"Have you paid attention to Neji? What's his mental state like?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned at first, and then he recalled Neci's "sadness" about having no home.

I briefly explained the situation to the master and gave my own opinion:
“Ningji looks serious on weekdays, but in fact, he is a very emotional person.

"Now, I went to look for Tiantian as soon as possible. I may not have the plans that you, Master, are worried about in my head.

“At least, there won’t be any now.

“As for the follow-up, if the people of the Hyuga clan can be sensible and not actively provoke him.

“I don’t think there will be any problems in the short term.”

After listening to Uchiha Sasuke's answer, Jiraiya nodded slowly.

After a pause, he still said worriedly:

“In short, as I said before, now is definitely not a good time, with all the internal and external troubles.

“You need to pay more attention to Hyuga Neji and talk to him regularly. You two are good friends anyway.

"I reiterate once again that I have no intention of actively igniting this old explosive before peace is restored in the ninja world."

"I see."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and said nothing more.

"The biggest hidden danger in this matter right now is Neji's instability."

Jiraiya said bluntly:

"In the current game situation, although Neji is alone, with your support, the Hyuga clan is actually at a disadvantage.

"Your threat has already been made, and the people of the Zong family will definitely not be stupid enough to take the initiative to trigger this incident.

"But they will definitely feel dissatisfied and uneasy."
