When Aoba heard the news Pain told him, he was also stunned.
The 'cooperation' between Akatsuki and Konoha was too coincidental.
However, he immediately reacted. Now that Kumogakure was busy with his own people, it was a good time to complete the task.
Therefore, when Mikawa-sensei was a little hesitant, he blew a bit of wind by his side.
A few days later, their group finally successfully arrived at the Land of Iron. Then, under the extremely excited expression of the person in charge of the caravan, they successfully delivered this batch of goods. At the same time, they also purchased a lot of goods, preparing to bring some of Land of Iron's specialties back to make a wave of different prices.
During the war, the Land of Tea could be said to have increased the price of goods!
This way, the price difference was enough for them to make a lot of money.
As for the reward for issuing the task, they did not care about it at all.
Thus, after experiencing a lot of difficulties, Mikawa's class added a brilliant sum of money to their own pockets, and it was full of gold!
It was just that it was too much of a delay!
Not only did they make a big circle, but they also waited for several days, and more than a month was gone!
In this way, it was really not worthwhile to accept this task.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the caravan was quite good at being a person after setting up his position. Because he could successfully reach the Land of Iron thanks to the protection of these Konoha Ninjas, he was not in a hurry to return. Instead, he took out the real gold and silver to entertain them.
This time, even Mikawa did not refuse and happily agreed.
Being able to rest well for two days and adjust to the best condition was naturally the best!
Moreover, as a middle-rank country establishment, even Kumogakure's people would not easily stir up trouble here. If there were no accidents, they would be much more at ease.
On the other hand, Aoba and Gekkou Hayate were both more excited!
Because the two of them were both serious people, Land of Iron was not only famous for martial artists but also for forging.
The short sword on Itachi's back had no intention of changing here. After all, Uchiha did not lack good weapons. Moreover, he did not regard the short sword as his main attack, so he chose to cultivate in his room.
After persuading them to no avail, Aoba and Gekkou Hayate asked Mikawa-sensei for a leave and then went out to shop.
Mikawa also knew that he could not stop these two guys, so after reminding them not to provoke anyone, he let them go out.
Walking on Land of Iron's big street, Aoba and Gekkou Hayate, these two ninjas with Konoha's forehead protection could be said to be very eye-catching.
People who passed by would look at them a few more times, but they did not do anything else.
After all, foreign ninjas were relatively rare in the Land of Iron, and it was not the first time they saw each other, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.
When Aoba and Gekkou Hayate saw the samurais, who were dressed completely different from the others with long swords on their waists, they felt very novel.
However, after watching for a while, they became tired of it. There were no scenes that appeared in many novels. There's no 'there are ninjas who used swords, we have to PK'.
*TL/N: Player Killing –terms used in MMORPGs
This also made Gekkou Hayate, who wanted to see Land of Iron's martial arts, somewhat disappointed.
"Don't look anymore. If you really cause any trouble here, Mikawa-sensei will not forgive you!"
Aoba, who was famous for his 'steady composure', immediately opened his mouth to dispel Gekkou Hayate's little thoughts.
However, he immediately received Gekkou Hayate's disdainful look!
You are clearly the one who can cause the most trouble in the entire Mikawa class, yet you still have the nerve to scold me!
Aoba understood the meaning in this guy's eyes, but he was too lazy to argue with him. After all, finding a place to get himself a good sword was the most important thing!
….
After entering a weapon store, Aoba's eyes were instantly attracted by the various swords hanging on the wall.
Gekkou Hayate was also a person who loved swords. Although he did not want to change his sword, he still looked at the store joyfully.
"Do the two Ninjas want to buy a knife?"
The middle-aged man with strong muscles and a smile on his face asked directly.
Aoba immediately withdrew his gaze and nodded. "Yes, I need a very excellent broadsword with excellent chakra conductivity."
"Do you have any other requirements?"
"Yes. It is best to be sharper, better quality, and not easily damaged."
The middle-aged uncle was still smiling. "I think you don't know much about the price of the swords. If it is according to your request, it is estimated that only the famous sword is pleasing to the eye. There is also a famous sword forged by a master of volcanoes in the store, but the price is different."
"How much?"
Aoba immediately changed into a vigilant look!
It was only because the other party's words reminded him of some unbearable memories when he went to the market in his previous life to buy things.
When someone used this excuse, it meant that they had already seen you as a fat sheep!
"Hehe, compared to other famous swords, it's not particularly expensive. It only costs 8,500,000."
Aoba turned around and left. He also pulled out a silly child who wanted to see a famous knife.
F*ck!
A knife was sold for 8.5 million. He must be crazy!
No matter whether the famous knife forged by a volcanic master was worth this price, he could not afford it!
So forget it!
If he had known that this was the case, he might as well just stay in Konoha and take on other missions.
"Hey, don't pull me. I can walk on my own. I still want to see the works of Volcano Master. What a pity."
"What a pity! You have 8,500,000?"
"No."
"Then what the hell are you talking about! That guy obviously treats the two of us as fat sheep!"
Aoba just stood there because he and Gekkou Hayate went to several other places. The most expensive one was only five million, but it was not the work of a master.
There was no other way. The ore that could conduct excellent chakra was very rare.
He also wanted to be sharp and patient; ordinary knives could not satisfy his needs!
However, the sword that barely met his needs was too expensive. It was a few million at a time. How many A-level missions did he have to do to get this money?
Then, he couldn't help but think of the Kubikiribōchō that he had sealed in the scroll.
If even these ordinary famous swords were so expensive, then how much would one of the ' seven ninja knives', Kubikiribōchō, be worth?
If not for the special mission of the dog system, he really wanted to sell Kubikiribōchō at this moment or simply find someone to melt and forge a new saber suitable for himself.
"Sigh, what a pity."
Aoba let out a long sigh. He no longer had any expectations for Land of Iron's trip this time.
