In the past, Baki felt that he was quite rich, especially in the five or six years after the Fourth Kazekage Rasa went on stage. As Rasa's confidant, he carried out more missions than other ninjas and received a lot of rewards.
However, ever since he came into contact with Zhang Miao, he found that he was really poor.
When he was in Kazekage's office, Zhang Miao's tongue was like a spring. When he tricked 400 tons of gold dust from Rasa, Baki still felt that it was barely acceptable.
After all, the unrefined gold dust was not as valuable as gold. A ton of gold dust could only be exchanged for 20,000 silver notes in other countries. 400 tons was eight million.
Baki had followed Rasa for the past five to six years, so although he was a little envious of Zhang Miao, he did not feel too shocked.
But now Zhang Miao actually said that he still had cigarette and wine worth two hundred million, which made Baki lost his senses.
"Two hundred million!"
One had to know that cigarette and wine were also hot commodities in Sunagakure. At this time, Sunagakure was at war with Iwagakure and Kirigakure. Many ninjas were highly traumatized by this war, and they would need a long time to recover.
Cigarette and wine, on the other hand, allowed them to relax to a certain extent, especially cigarettes. In this period of time, they could be considered as military supplies.
There were more than a hundred thousand residents in the village. Out of half of the ninjas, even if only a tenth of them needed cigarettes and wine, with their purchasing power, let alone Zhang Miao's 200 million's worth cigarettes and wine, even if they doubled it the population, the village would still be able to consume them!
Thinking of this, Baki immediately raised five fingers towards Zhang Miao.
"Ryu-sama, I need five million's worth of cigarettes and wine. I will bring the money with me when we depart tomorrow morning. We will trade after we arrive at Advisor Chiyo's place. What do you think?"
As soon as Zhang Miao heard this, he understood that he must have thought that all his things were in Chiyo's hands, so he immediately nodded with a smile.
"Hehe, good, no problem!"
Zhang Miao had always been kind to generous customers. After reaching the deal, his attitude towards Baki had changed greatly once again.
"Brother Bakki, these meatballs are probably not enough, right? Wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to get some more. By the way, do you like to eat apples or bananas?"
Baki: "... "
"Damn it, Bakki became Brother Bakki in an instant. Why I feel so uneasy?"
Being provoked by Zhang Miao, Baki could not stay any longer. After eating the meatballs that Zhang Miao brought up, he excused himself to go back to prepare something and left in a hurry.
At this time, a bright white color also appeared on the horizon.
"Is it almost dawn?"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao muttered. Then he entered the kitchen again and began to prepare breakfast. When he served the dishes and food to the table, there was a light sound of footsteps coming from the room next to him.
Hearing this sound, a smile appeared on Zhang Miao's lips.
"Are you awake? Come and eat breakfast. After eating, we will move to a new place to live!"
The person who came out at this time was Gaara. After hearing Zhang Miao's words, he blinked his eyes curiously. "Where is the new place? Is it inside the village?"
"No!" Looking at his puzzled look, Zhang Miao immediately smiled and touched his little head.
"My home is outside the village. My family lives there. Gaara, since you're my brother now, they are also your family!"
"Family?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara immediately opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of expectation. "Can I really go? What about Yashamaru? Will he go with me?"
Hearing Gaara mentioned Yashamaru, Zhang Miao immediately frowned, but he quickly adjusted his mood and nodded to me.
"Yes, Yashamaru will also go!"
When he said this, Zhang Miao planned to find a way to keep Gaara, and then let Yashamaru tell Gaara himself that he was going to carry out a mission and slowly separate them.
Gaara did not know what Zhang Miao was thinking. To him, besides Zhang Miao, Yashamaru was the closest person to him. Now that he heard that Yashamaru was also going, he immediately became happy.
"Great! In the future, I will have big brother and Yashamaru, and I will not be lonely!"
Looking at his happy appearance, Zhang Miao lovingly touched his little head again, "Alright, hurry up and eat breakfast. Yashamaru has something to do and will go out first. Let's eat first!"
"Okay, brother!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara happily ate.
Not long after the two of them finished their breakfast, Baki and Yashmaru arrived. At the same time, they also brought over a dozen people. Judging from their chakra reactions, these people were all experts from Sunagakure.
After glancing at everyone, Zhang Miao smiled and nodded.
"Well, it seems that my father-in-law is quite concerned about this matter. This is also good, so as to avoid any mishaps. Since everyone is here, let's go!"
"Yes, Ryu-sama!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, everyone present agreed.
Hearing their answer, Zhang Miao immediately raised his eyebrows and then held Gaara's hand and left.
Perhaps they had already received the notice, but the group did not encounter any obstruction when they passed by village's entranec. They smoothly entered the desert outside the village through entrance and then headed in the direction where Chiyo was living in seclusion.
This was the first time that Gaara left the village. His small face was filled with curiosity. As he walked, he looked around. Occasionally, when he saw a plant, he would ask Zhang Miao what it was. As for Zhang Miao, he patiently answered them one by one.
Of course, this was also because there were not many plants in the desert. If it was a place with lush vegetation like the Land of Fire, facing a curious baby like Gaara, Zhang Miao would definitely be asked to question his life in minutes.
After walking for a short distance, Gaara began to feel a little tired. Zhang Miao simply carried him on his back. In this way, the group of people became much faster. Just after noon, they arrived at the place where Chiyo was living.
When Zhang Miao was still dozens of meters away from the house, Chiyo had already run out and came in front of him to hug him.
"Ouch... Grandma's little grandson is finally back. Grandma hasn't seen you for such a long time. I'm really worried!"
Zhang Miao: "... "
I only went there for a day, okay?
Just as Zhang Miao thought of this, the system notification rang out in Zhang Miao's mind.
"[Ding... congratulations boss for obtaining 7-star Kage level, Chiyo Ninja Fragment x10!]"
Hearing this notification, Zhang Miao was first stunned. After reacting, his face immediately revealed a trace of emotion.
"Looks like Chiyo truly misses me!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly grinned and then gently patted Chiyo's back.
"Grandma, I'm back!"
