The bounty targets chosen by Uchiha Yoichi were all very particular, none from major countries, only nobles from small countries died.
Actually, the person in charge of the exchange office was right. The bounty for a minister from the Land of Fire is higher; even the cheapest one is around 40-50 million ryo, more than a 30-year-old Asuma.
However, those bountied are all nobles and ministers close to Konoha. If he moves against them, Uchiha Yoichi might face being hunted by Konoha.
Even if he disguises his appearance before taking action, there's a chance he could be traced.
Konoha has many special secret techniques, playing with dogs, bugs, exploring the brain...
The abbot of the Fire Temple died. Although it was partly because of Akatsuki, Konoha was able to deploy twenty Jonin squads at once, and such a configuration is not something an ordinary person could handle.
"Chakra metal can be entrusted to the Ninja Cat Race for forging, but the choice of weapon... ninja blade or fist spike?"
As Uchiha Yoichi was on his way back, he was a bit conflicted about this issue. If he crafts a ninja blade, the Uchiha Race has family-inherited swordsmanship, which is quite famous in the Ninja World.
He has dedicated himself to the Uchiha Race, so if he asks for their swordsmanship, the clan will definitely grant it to him.
However, Uchiha Style Swordsmanship doesn't quite align with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Uchiha Yoichi thought about it carefully for a while and finally decided to craft a ninja blade, but he would not learn the Uchiha Style Swordsmanship, only the basics of swordsmanship.
By then, he can use the Lightning Release Chakra Mode as a foundation to try to create his own set of Killing Swordsmanship.
After returning to Konoha, Uchiha Yoichi went straight to the Hokage Building to log off his mission record.
He had been out for nearly a month, and a B-Class assassination mission clearly shouldn't take that long. The clan and the mission crew probably knew he took the mission as a cover to do other things.
But Uchiha Yoichi didn't care; he hadn't hidden his intention to leave the village from the start.
"Uchiha Yoichi, B-Class task completed, now submitting."
"Uchiha Yoichi, you've been out for too long. The client submitted mission completion ten days earlier than you, and as far as we know, you finished your task in just three days....."
Before the person in front of him could finish, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted and said, "This has nothing to do with your mission division. Just mind your business, now submit the mission for me!"
"You...."
The ninja from the mission division was choked by Uchiha Yoichi's words, immediately feeling a bit angry, but his companion quickly pulled him aside, and then took the mission commission letter.
"Uchiha Yoichi, I'll help you process it."
The ninja took the mission commission letter, stamped it twice, then took out the mission reward and handed it to Uchiha Yoichi.
"Mr. Yoichi, still picking up a task?"
"No, I'm planning to take a break for a while."
After saying this, Uchiha Yoichi prepared to turn and leave. He wasn't short on money now, having traveled to several places within the month; Uchiha Yoichi couldn't let himself keep running endlessly. He decided to rest in the village for a while, and meanwhile, wait for his new weapon.
Just as Uchiha Yoichi hadn't walked out of the mission division's room, the ninja with the unpleasant tone earlier spoke again in a low voice, "Can't find a useful teammate, so you struggle trying to rest for a while, right..."
"Hey, don't say that..."
Even though the voice was lowered, Uchiha Yoichi still heard it.
So he paused, turned expressionlessly, and walked towards the person who badmouthed him.
Seeing this, the other ninja said, "Mr. Yoichi, he didn't mean it, it's because of Mr. Sugimoto's...."
Bang!
Before he could finish, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly sped up, lifted his leg, and with a kick, not only broke the table but also sent the ninja who mocked him flying against the wall, creating many cracks.
The other ninjas in the mission division, seeing this, immediately shouted angrily, "Uchiha Yoichi, you dared to attack a fellow villager!?"
"Don't joke, why should this trash be my companion? Was his remark mocking Konoha Chunin, or mocking the Uchiha?"
Uchiha Yoichi's Sharingan swept around; although it was just a One-Tomoe, combined with his demeanor and tone, it still had some pressure.
Besides, these people didn't have much strength, mostly comprised of Chunin and Genin.
Seeing no one speak, Uchiha Yoichi turned off his Sharingan and left directly.
As for the consequences, he didn't care. In the end, it was the village and the Uchiha who owed him, and now an idiot taunts him face-to-face; if he didn't teach this idiot a lesson, wouldn't anyone be able to point a finger and scold him in the future?
He put in so much effort in training, not to be a turtle.
After Uchiha Yoichi left, a ninja from the mission division quickly said, "Quickly send Mr. Sakuma to the hospital, I'll report this to Lord Hokage."
————————————
"Senior Mabayashi, there's something I want to ask you to agree to."
After returning to the clan, Uchiha Yoichi went directly to the Security Team. Since he was of the same clan, the Uchiha Clan Members at the door didn't stop him.
"Yoichi? You've been out for a month, finally willing to come back. The Clan Leader asked about you, he was a bit worried you defected!"
Uchiha Mabayashi said a few words and then continued to ask, "What's the matter? Haven't completed the village task?"
"No, it's completed. I stayed outside for a reason and coincidentally got this."
After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi took out a small box containing chakra metal, then opened it to show.
Uchiha Mabayashi looked and was surprised, "Chakra metal? You really have good luck, this large piece, probably worth millions of ryo, you want to use this chakra metal to craft ninja tools, right?"
"A ninja blade perhaps, I want to learn swordsmanship, but I don't know how to contact the Ninja Cat Race, so I want to ask Senior Mabayashi for help. I'll cover the forging costs myself."
"You don't have to cover the costs, we have cooperations with the Ninja Cat Race, they'll settle the payment later; also the clan supports its younger generations, you haven't asked for anything from the clan, and you found even the materials yourself, there's no need for the forging fee."
Hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi didn't insist and continued, "Then I'd trouble Senior Mabayashi to pass on the request, hoping that the forging can incline a bit towards the Lightning Attribute to be more compatible with me."
Some chakra weapons have special metals added during forging, like the Thunder God's Sword of the Second Generation Hokage and the Lighting Blade: Fang of the Hidden Mist Village, all are similar types.
After stating his request, Uchiha Yoichi left the chakra metal and headed home, having been away almost a month, he needed to do some cleaning.
On the other side.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was already upset about being interrupted during his Crystal Ball session, and after hearing the report from the mission division ninja, he got even more headache.
Gossiping behind someone's back qualifies as a rumor; saying it to their face is criticizing them outright.
However, the fact that Uchiha Yoichi made a move and attacked someone in the Hokage Building is undeniable, so Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and then called an Anbu, "Help me inform Mr. Fugaku of the Uchiha Race that I have something to discuss with him."
