fuuu.. finally I've returned! but seriously the meat of even normal animals on this planet is way more delicious than on earth . I only ate some kebabs from a normal small stall and cannot forget the taste till now . maybe I should see if system has something related to cooking ? no.. let's forget it ...
well I've entered inside the village from an entrance in the outside forest now so let's just go to the base and report everything to inu captain first . hehe... inu captain . I decided to only hide my sharingan and bigger range chakra sense now but still maybe this fight will still make me famous now ..
it's actually what I want though . this way hokage old fox will protect me from danzo and I can train at my own pace . if I dont show this much value then I'm 90 percent sure than hokage will agree if danzo tries to recruit me in his root . I'm not that sure but thinking about the useless hokage , the chances are really high . I want to eradicate root someday in future but I refuse to act like a puppet of danzo absolutely . he is simply the kind I hate the most so it's a matter of principle for me .
then ken arrived at the underground base and handed his report and corpses, loot etc ( is there anything else ? ) to him . ken just wanted to relax and meet naruto so after inu swiftly checked everything, ken ignored the shocked face of inu and left.
he changed into some casual clothes and wore his headband on his forehead while roaming the streets leisurely . the closet place was uchiha cementry and the small town so it was off limits . ken was interested in exchange some techniques of uchiha for points with system but he decided wait till at least he becomes the master of fuinjutsu after assimilating the uzumaki from system .
then ken ignored the other clans on way and finally arrived in the market. the goal of this little trip was to eat delicious food so ken didnt waste any time and went inside the bustling akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant which is famous for their hidden recipes..
meanwhile inside hokage office , hokage and inu were both discussing something while hokage's shock couldn't be more apparent.
- inu , did you know that ken was so talented? tell me your honest opinion * smile *
- * shaking his head * I could tell from our battle that he was talented as his mastery on body flicker and chakra control were great . but definitely didnt think that he was this good. * holding his stomach *
- inu , that I can understand but I see that you are holding your stomach for a while now and I can even see your face sweating a little * serious *
- cough .... it's just ken caused me an injury here with a well timed fist and I remember tsunade sama everytime when I think about it * fear * .
after that inu told his thoughts about Ken's chakra control and technique similar to that of tsunade's taijutsu..
- this is really a grave matter ! inu tell ken to hide his capabilities except battles from now on * thoughtful expression *
- are you worring about danzo's interference ?
- mn.. my old friend will definitely do anything to snatch ken and will dispose him if ken refuses to join root . I would agree but Ken's talent is too important for him to become a mindless puppet ..
- yes , with Ken's honest personality he will definitely refuse to join danzo ! hokage sama , now only neko , me and hokage sama are aware of this matter. I will make sure that nothing leaks and reaches out now ..
- can you trust neko with this?
- rest assured hokage sama , neko is my old subordinate and he understands these kind of things well * shunshin *
like this a secret meeting happened between hokage and inu which ensured that ken wouldn't felll in the hands of danzo and finally ken didnt even come under the radar of danzo till ken eradicated root but this is the story for other time ..
Ken's fame has risen a lot at least for hokage , neko and inu and our mc is currently stuffing himself with grilled meat.
this special sauce is too good . it's too bad that this restaurant wont sell me the recipie !
- system tell me my current points ..
- 27950 points
hmm.. so just little more than 2000 points away from uzumaki with seals ! good , I can definitely earn the remaining points in little time . hmm? this is a good idea ..
my idea is simple . why dont I hunt some beasts in the forest region outside the village? I can earn points quickly and sell the beast corpses to some shops for little money . hehe... maybe they will give me some benefits like free dining if I dont take any money for corpses . yosh ! its decided. I cannot cook anything decent anyway so the delicious food in these restaurants comes first ! oh yeah .. I haven't tried the infamous ichiraku ramen yet . hmm.. let's invite naruto to a meal there tomorrow as I have money from the mission now .
ken ate at the restaurant for more than an hour and left the place in a little bad mood . simply the bill was too much . akimichi restaurant is already very very expensive place to dine and Ken alone grilled 7 large servings of best quality meat so of course the bill will be fat too ..
- captain inu , can I help you with something ?
inu appeared in front of ken in an instant and was again surprised by this guy's strong senses because it would be impossible for most of the jonin to sense his presence when he hides it much less a genin .
- cough .. ken , I just came to tell you about 2 things * smile *
looks like inu really had a talk with hokage before coming here . from his smile I can guess that danzo wont be much of a problem in near future . hehe.. hokage old fox is really my money tree and now temporary protection tree .
after that inu immediately told ken that he was ordered by hokage to hide his powers except missions and battles and Ken's guess was spot on !
- hmm.. what is the other matter , captain ?
- it's nothing much but definitely a good news . do you know about bingo book ken ?
of course I know . it records bounty of ninja from many villages. simple one can gain millions by killing a ninja from bongo book and gain money by handing the corpse to hidden bounty collection places and even village. of course one can only get a bounty from village if the prey is not a current ninja of one's own village..
- I know a little . I will only be issued bingo book when I become a jonin if I remember correctly.
- that's right , there are some exceptions to that rule but forget it for now. cough.. you see , the scarface you killed actually had a bounty on him from mist village and rock village so you can have the money after paying village the commission * smirk * .
- * bow * I remembered something important sir . please excuse me * shunshin *
- ken , remember to meet hokage for accepting the money ... he's gone already! what a genius child ..
actually ken had managed to hear everything so he immediately headed towards the office of his money tree who will hand real money over to him now ...
