"Jigen?"
Uchiha Yuzuru's gaze slightly narrowed as he saw the monk walk in.
He never expected Jigen to be the mastermind behind the Bounty Office.
If there was anyone in the current Ninja World who could pose a threat to him, Jigen would definitely be one.
More accurately, it was Ōtsutsuki Isshiki within his body.
In the original story, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could punch through a Perfect Susanoo, and the attacks he launched with his ocular jutsu were difficult for even Uchiha Sasuke's Rinnegan to track.
Such a person suddenly appearing before him made even Uchiha Yuzuru feel a hint of apprehension.
However, upon closer thought, it wasn't surprising; the research and operations of the Kara organization required a large amount of funding.
The Bounty Office could continuously earn money for Kara, and it was reasonable for Jigen, as Kara's leader, to negotiate with him.
"Lord Yuzuru, is something wrong?"
Hearing Jigen's voice, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled subtly: "Nothing, I just didn't expect the mastermind behind the Bounty Office to look so young."
Jigen didn't think much of it and simply said, "I can offer the ten billion ryo bounty on Lord Yuzuru as a gesture of friendship."
"Furthermore, in the future, our Bounty Office will no longer accept missions to bounty Uchiha Clan members."
Upon hearing Jigen's words, Uchiha Yuzuru gave a thumbs up: "Boss is generous."
Jigen smiled faintly, then said, "I heard that Kumogakure has been attacking the surrounding small countries. Lord Yuzuru, you're not here to incorporate the Land of Silence into the Land of Lightning's territory, are you?"
Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong, is there a problem?"
Hearing this, Jigen slowly raised a finger and said, "If Lord Yuzuru is willing to abandon this idea, I am willing to offer another ten billion ryo as a token of gratitude."
"The Land of Silence is just a small country with no resources; even if you occupy it, you won't gain any practical benefits."
"How about we maintain the status quo?"
Most of those who accept bounty missions are rogue Ninja from all over the Ninja World. If the Land of Silence were truly ruled by Uchiha Yuzuru, the Bounty Office's profits would likely plummet.
Of course, profit was secondary; the main thing was that Kara would lose a place to gather intelligence.
This was something Jigen could not accept.
However, upon hearing his request, Uchiha Yuzuru directly shook his head and refused: "My goal is for the people of the Ninja World to live happy and peaceful lives. The existence of the Land of Silence is completely contrary to my purpose, so I will not agree to your request."
"A place like the Bounty Office, which harms the peace of the Ninja World, should not continue to exist."
Hearing this, Jigen's face darkened, and his gaze towards Uchiha Yuzuru became unfriendly.
He said in a deep voice, "Lord Yuzuru, our Bounty Office also has some influence. If you insist on attacking the Land of Silence, I cannot guarantee what might happen."
Tsunade, who was beside them, was stunned, not expecting the monk in front of her to dare threaten Uchiha Yuzuru.
Had he not seen Yuzuru's power just now?
He must be tired of living!
However, what Tsunade didn't expect was that Uchiha Yuzuru didn't lash out; instead, he took a step back.
"The Bounty Office can remain, and Ninja coming to the Land of Silence do not need to have their identities checked."
"But the Land of Silence must be under my control, and all people must follow the order I establish."
"Additionally, one-tenth of all Bounty Office profits must be submitted."
Uchiha Yuzuru said coldly, "If you continue to object, no matter what your so-called reliance is, I will make it completely disappear from the Ninja World!"
"In this Ninja World, no one can oppose me."
As his words fell, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.
Uchiha Yuzuru and Jigen stared at each other, neither showing any intention of backing down.
Finally, Jigen was the first to smile: "Lord Yuzuru, I was just joking. I will do whatever you say."
Uchiha Yuzuru snorted lightly, stood up, and walked outside: "Don't even think about causing trouble for me; I'm not a patient person."
Although he was somewhat wary of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's power, that was all it was.
With Kawaki not yet born, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who had been hiding for so many years, would absolutely not be able to reincarnate using Jigen's body.
After all, Jigen's body couldn't withstand Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's power; forced reincarnation would only leave him with a few days to live.
And as long as he didn't reincarnate, the other party couldn't be his opponent.
Under these circumstances, Uchiha Yuzuru naturally didn't take Jigen seriously.
Seeing this, Tsunade quickly followed.
After the two left, the smile on Jigen's face disappeared, and he became incredibly gloomy.
Being threatened by a lowly inferior being, and having to force a smile... this feeling was truly too stifling.
One day, he would reclaim everything that belonged to him, and then kill all these insects!

"Yuzuru, wait for me."
Tsunade caught up from behind, her face full of curiosity.
After Uchiha Yuzuru openly glanced at her, he calmly said, "What's wrong?"
Tsunade placed her hand on her chest for a moment, then asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? I almost thought you would just cut down that monk named Jigen."
According to Uchiha Yuzuru's usual style, anyone who defied him usually met their demise.
But today, he was surprisingly patient with a monk, which was truly unbelievable... Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru slowly said, "To be able to run the Bounty Office to the extent that it's known throughout the Ninja World is enough to show that the person behind the Bounty Office is not simple."
"Before we are certain we can annihilate them all, it's better to let them continue to run the Bounty Office, which can also provide us with a way to monitor them."
Uchiha Yuzuru explained his thoughts.
The current Kara organization was insignificant, and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, without a perfect vessel, wouldn't dare to cause any trouble. Monitoring them right under his nose was the most correct approach.
After all, time was on his side; by the time Ōtsutsuki Isshiki found Kawaki, he would probably already possess power capable of crushing his opponent.
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's explanation, Tsunade looked back at the Bounty Office with some disbelief.
Even Konoha wasn't taken seriously by Yuzuru, but the small Bounty Office in front of them could make Yuzuru wary... What kind of ability did that monk named Jigen possess?
Bang!
Tsunade wasn't paying attention and bumped into Uchiha Yuzuru.
"Yuzuru, why did you suddenly stop?"
Feeling the astonishing elasticity, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and said, "How lucky, I found the Ninja who attacked the Uchiha Clan members."
