"Why are your buns hot!"
Momochi Zabuza, who had just eaten a large number of cold buns, looked at the still steaming buns in Qin Yu's hand with suspicion.
Qin Yu rolled his eyes at him and replied calmly, "I packed these this morning! Of course they're hot!"
This was a feature of the Storage Space. Anything placed inside wouldn't change. For example, if you put in a steaming hot bun, it would still be that way when you take it out.
However, it was necessary to prevent the smell from leaking out. The strong scent of buns still lingered in Qin Yu's Storage Space.
Although Momochi Zabuza really wanted to know why the buns from this morning were still hot, he immediately asked upon realizing that the buns he ate were cold, "Why were the ones I ate cold this morning?"
Having swallowed the last bun, Qin Yu glanced at him and sneered, "Those were originally your dinner from last night. You didn't get up, so I was going to feed them to the dogs!"
"You...you..."
Hearing this answer, Momochi Zabuza immediately felt a pang of pain in his liver. Is this guy really that Itachi who wiped out his clan? Has he been replaced!
"What's what? Pay up..."
While Momochi Zabuza was silently enduring the emotional damage, Qin Yu's cold voice came again.
"What money?"
Momochi Zabuza, whose liver ached faintly, looked at Qin Yu with a dazed expression. He really didn't understand what money he owed.
"The steamed bun money!"
"Pfft..."
Momochi Zabuza, upon receiving the answer, immediately spat out the fresh water he had just brought to his mouth, then looked at Qin Yu in disbelief.
He, Momochi Zabuza, had been on missions for so long, and this was the first time he had met a teammate who even calculated the cost of steamed buns, not to mention that the buns were from yesterday.
"No money…"
Although somewhat speechless, Momochi Zabuza didn't intend to welsh on the debt. After all, he had eaten the steamed buns, even if they were cold and stale.
"You don't even have the money for a steamed bun? You're the infamous former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"
Before Zabuza could finish speaking, Qin Yu interjected with a look of disdain. Those words sounded like blatant mockery to Zabuza.
"I used all my money to help unemployed young ladies…"
Zabuza practically ground out those words through gritted teeth.
"Be careful with your spending…"
Hearing Zabuza's words, Qin Yu subconsciously glanced at Zabuza, who was almost exhausted, and then quietly uttered this sentence.
"Get lost…"
Momochi Zabuza's face twisted slightly after hearing those words for the third time. He ignored Qin Yu, who was sitting to the side, and headed straight towards Longjing Town.
"Meet at the usual place in three days!"
After walking a considerable distance, Zabuza roared back, then, with the Kubikiribōchō on his back, he staggered away.
"Oh…isn't that guy broke?"
Qin Yu, who had agreed to the plan, looked at Zabuza's back with a playful expression. Why was he going to Longjing Town if he was broke? Could the ladies there give him credit?
After confirming that Zabuza had gone far enough, Qin Yu took out the rare item he had obtained from the mission from his Storage Space.
[Identity Tag] Source: Black Market, Land of Tea Effect: Allows you to claim your earnings at the Black Market bank (once a month).
Description: Identity Tag of the Black Market's Boss, a trophy, recyclable.
"If I sell it directly, I can get 1000 gold coins, but this monthly income seems pretty promising!"
Looking at the information before him, Qin Yu's eyes were filled with anticipation. This was a multiple-choice question. If the Akatsuki's missions came one after another, Qin Yu would most likely sell it immediately. But now, it seemed there was a three-day rest period between each mission.
Three days should be enough to go to the Black Market in the Land of Tea. He just didn't know the exact location of the Black Market in the Land of Tea.
While thinking, Qin Yu started walking towards Longjing Town. He had ambushed the Land of Tea's noble near Longjing Town in the paddy fields. That noble's target should have been Longjing Town.
Of course, it could also be somewhere further away from Longjing Town. In short, going towards Longjing Town shouldn't lead to any unexpected events. Even if something unexpected happened, he would still need to ask the locals to find the Black Market's location.
Walking on the road back to Longjing Town, Qin Yu suddenly noticed black smoke coming from ahead, and there was also a vague figure in the area where the smoke was coming from.
As Qin Yu approached, the figure in the shadows became clearer. The Kubikiribōchō, still stained with fresh blood, stood silently nearby. The figure was staring intently at the charred frog.
"Hey, it's already turned to charcoal!"
While Momochi Zabuza was still engrossed, Qin Yu's calm voice cut through the air, causing Momochi Zabuza to scramble, his anticipation for a delicious meal dashed.
Then, the already blackened frog plopped directly into the campfire in front of Momochi Zabuza.
"Ugh… Why is it always you!"
Momochi Zabuza's resentful voice echoed, leaving Qin Yu feeling a bit awkward. Qin Yu was puzzled by Momochi Zabuza's inexplicable resentment.
He didn't seem to have done anything to Momochi Zabuza! Why was he acting like this?
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yu's questioning voice broke the tension, and Momochi Zabuza, who was still harboring some resentment, immediately calmed down. He couldn't possibly explain that he'd lost his footing while catching the frog and fallen directly into the mud, could he?
He, Momochi Zabuza, had his pride. If this newcomer found out about this, he'd probably never be able to hold his head up again.
"I still have some beef here, you can eat it!"
Seeing that Momochi Zabuza didn't speak anymore, Qin Yu silently took out a few pieces of beef and placed them on the stone where Momochi Zabuza had regained consciousness.
"Okay..."
The moment he saw the beef, Momochi Zabuza calmed down; he was really starving.
"Hey, do you know where the Black Market in the Land of Tea is?"
After Momochi Zabuza was full, Qin Yu, standing to the side, asked this question. After all, Momochi Zabuza himself was someone who frequented the dark side, so he should know about these things.
Of course, Qin Yu was also a denizen of the dark side now, since he was already a missing-nin.
"The Black Market is under the fish market in Longjing Town, but what are you going there for? It stinks to high heaven!"
Momochi Zabuza's voice, laced with suspicion, reached Qin Yu, causing his eyes to brighten. This guy indeed knew about the Black Market.
"Thanks. Forget about the baozi money!"
Having gotten the location of the Black Market, Qin Yu immediately headed towards Longjing Town, completely ignoring Momochi Zabuza, whose face was now contorted.
"I hate baozi!"
After a long while, Momochi Zabuza's resentful voice echoed.
