Through the recent battle, Feiyun easily saw through Sarutobi Tsuguri's hand seals and chakra flow using his Sharingan, committing the Earth Release ninjutsu to memory.
Perhaps due to his powerful spiritual energy, he could easily grasp the principles of others' ninjutsu after seeing them just once.
Moreover, his current chakra reserves had grown significantly, several times more than when he was in Konoha.
"It's probably also because of my 60th-level spiritual energy…" Unable to fully understand the reason, Feiyun could only think this way.
By the time he returned to the Bounty Station, it was already late at night.
The Bounty Station operates 24 hours a day, so even though it was so late, Tsubame still received him.
"Bang!"
Feiyun threw Sarutobi Tsuguri's corpse onto the ground with a dull thud, raising a cloud of dust.
"Here's the 4.5 million Ryo you asked for."
Tsubame took the intelligence file, carefully compared it, and then nodded: "It is indeed Konoha's Special Jonin—Sarutobi Tsuguri! Please wait a moment, nameless young man."
With that, Tsubame waved his hand, and two subordinates stepped out, moving to carry Sarutobi Tsuguri into one of the corpse storage compartments.
Tsubame stood aside, quickly writing something. He was quite shocked that a Konoha Special Jonin had been taken down so quickly, which showed the strength of this nameless individual!
Feiyun stretched his arm and said, "Why do these employers require the recovery of the body? It's so troublesome, and they don't seem to mind the unpleasantness."
Tsubame smiled and explained while writing, "This is actually a good method; it makes things convenient for everyone and saves time."
Feiyun looked puzzled: "Convenient? Saves time? I feel like it's super troublesome."
Just then, a Bounty Station staff member walked out with a small box and respectfully handed it to Feiyun.
Tsubame put away the document in his hand and pointed to the money box in Feiyun's hand: "If you hadn't brought the body, you wouldn't get the money today. You'd have to wait for our people to confirm the target is dead before the bounty can be issued!"
Feiyun suddenly understood: "I see."
Tsubame's attitude was excellent, and he smiled, saying, "After deducting a five percent handling fee, the rest is all inside. Congratulations, nameless young man, on successfully completing your first task."
Feiyun was not surprised by this. With such a large and powerful background, the Bounty Station's operations would certainly require a significant amount of funds to maintain.
Earning five percent of the bounty was perfectly normal in this business.
Feiyun put the money box into his spatial scroll and looked at Tsubame: "I want to continue taking bounty missions. Just give me the bounty slips for the Sarutobi clan; I feel like their clan members are quite weak."
Tsubame once again found a stack of bounty slips and handed them to Feiyun.
"Nameless young man, your strength is extraordinary. To improve efficiency, you can take on more bounty slips at once. We'll send you intelligence on whichever target has information available."
Feiyun raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "You can actively send me intelligence? How will you find me?"
Tsubame nodded: "We naturally have our own methods…"
With that, Tsubame took out a chakra jade engraved with patterns and handed it to Feiyun.
"This is a unique sensing ninja stone from our Bounty Station. We raise ninja hawks that correspond to it."
Feiyun's fingers brushed the jade: "You must have sent out quite a few sensing stones. How can the ninja hawks accurately distinguish who to send them to?"
Tsubame patiently explained: "The sensing ninja stones come in pairs. We'll note the holder's name on the other stone here, and each ninja hawk is only responsible for one pair of sensing ninja stones."
"Furthermore, the sensing ninja stones sent out by the Bounty Station are not many!"
Tsubame paused and continued, "Only bounty hunters of A-rank and above are qualified to receive the sensing jade used for communication by the Bounty Station!"
Feiyun nodded in understanding: "I see, it's a one-on-one membership service!"
"Uh… you could say that."
"Alright, then I'll choose more targets."
Feiyun selected about ten bounty targets from the Sarutobi clan, then asked for the Shimura clan's bounty slips and similarly picked a batch of 'lucky' individuals.
However, he didn't choose any elite Jonin. At this stage, he still planned to play it safe and proceed gradually.
After all, his combat strength and experience weren't exceptionally high.
Every elite Jonin was formidable, and if he accidentally stumbled, his great revenge would be cut short!
Who would he cry to if he faced pursuit from the entire Konoha at that point?
Feiyun planned to hunt slowly, accumulate combat experience, and improve his own strength.
Once he was strong enough, he would then plan larger actions.
Reluctantly, he put down the bounty slip for "35 million Ryo" Asuma Sarutobi.
Feiyun thought to himself, "35 million Ryo, it will be mine sooner or later…"
After confirming the bounty slips he accepted, Feiyun spent another 6 million Ryo to continue placing bounties on members of Konoha's four great clans.
Tsubame's smile couldn't be wider as he happily saw off Uchiha Feiyun.
He hadn't encountered such a high-quality client in many years. The Bounty Station made money, the Bounty Station spent it, and not a single Ryo went home.
Tsubame secretly resolved to firmly hold on to this valuable client and ensure that no other competitor snatched away his source of wealth!
...In the following days, Uchiha Feiyun constantly traveled to various places. Upon receiving intelligence from the Bounty Station, he would immediately set off to hunt down his bounty targets.
As he had guessed, his strength improved rapidly during battles.
Not only did his combat experience and ninjutsu become more refined and diverse, but his chakra reserves also continuously increased.
It's important to know that a ninja's battle is a battle of intelligence and chakra!
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
A giant earth dragon broke through Shimura Magua's water wall defense, severely injuring Shimura Magua, who coughed up blood incessantly.
"Damn it! Who exactly are you? Why are you attacking us Konoha ninja?"
Shimura Magua knelt on the ground, looking at his deceased comrades, and roared in despair.
Their ninja squad had accepted a mission to escort a merchant caravan and had already completed it, happily returning to Konoha.
Just as they were discussing where to spend the rewards from this mission, this mysterious young man, completely enveloped in a trench coat, appeared.
Without a word, he launched an attack. Now, only Shimura Magua remained alive from the entire squad.
Feiyun took off his hood, revealing a handsome face with black, spiky hair fluttering in the wind: "Is this the level of Konoha Jonin? You truly disappoint me!"
"Zing!"
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan flared, coldly staring at Shimura Magua, who was kneeling on the ground, pulling him into a terrifying genjutsu.
"You… you are… Uchiha…" Shimura Magua's expression was blank, his words like a dream.
"Pfft!"
Feiyun's hand rose and fell, taking his head.
This bounty slip didn't require the body; only the head needed to be taken to prove the target had been eliminated.
