Chapter 539

Masahiko's voice didn't reach the Ghost Shark, because he was stopped by someone on the way.

The person who stopped him was a middle-aged ninja with the trademark cold face of the Mist Village. He reached out his hand and asked for money.

Masahiko wasn't happy. I'm not your great-grandfather, why should I give you money?

"If you want to be protected by the Lord, one million taels per person."

Masahiko was dazed. Only then did he notice that there were a few commoners in Watermelon Mountain's team. They were all wearing gold and silver, looking very rich.

He glanced around. Although there were many ninjas, the other two ninjas were not here.

"This fatty is quite greedy. Did he come here early just to collect money?" Masahiko sighed in his heart. He looked at the ninja in front of him. "I didn't expect that I would be asked for protection money."

The indifferent ninja showed an impatient look on his face. "Either pay up or wait to die."

Masahiko wasn't angry. The difference in their status was too big. He couldn't get any anger from the other person's impoliteness.

He said with a smile. "Don't worry. One million taels is not a small amount. I'll wait. Aren't the other two ninjas not here?"

The ninja looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Today's battle is between those two."

Masahiko looked at the ninja's expression and took a deep breath. "I'm not angry. I'm not angry. His status is too different from mine. I'm not angry. It would be strange if I wasn't angry! "

The next moment, the ninja in front of him disappeared. He was thrown into the space by Masahiko.

"Phew ~ Comfortable." Masahiko muttered, but on the surface, he pretended to be panic-stricken. "Ninja-sama, Ninja-sama, where is he?"

The commotion here also attracted Watermelon Mountain's attention. He waved his hand, and the Ghost Shark behind him walked over.

"What happened?"

The familiar "shark" voice. Although it was still a bit immature, Masahiko found it familiar. In the original work, the VA that Masahiko admired the most was the Ghost Shark's VA.

Masahiko shook his head. "I don't know. That ninja wanted to collect two million taels from me. I just gave him the money and he suddenly disappeared."

The Ghost Shark's eyes turned into a dead fish's eyes. He turned back and reported to Watermelon Mountain.

"Damn it, two million!" A deep roar came, "He disappeared early, don't let me see him again!"

"Sir, Yakusoku shouldn't deceive you like this. I think he wants to collect more money for you. After all, that person is holding a cat." Another ninja next to him said.

"Humph! You don't need to speak up for him. If he wasn't worried about being discovered by me, why would he disappear? He's probably a traitorous ninja now and escaped from the village! I'm afraid he would become a traitor.

"Yes!"

In the past ten years, because of the blood mist policy, many traitor ninjas appeared in the Hidden Mist Village. It was not strange anymore. It was normal for them to run away after getting some money. Especially two million taels, it was enough for them to spend their whole life.

The ninjas behind Watermelon Mountain flashed and left. Only the Ghost Shark was left.

"Sir, what about the one with the cat?" The Ghost Shark pointed at Masahiko. Masahiko smiled and waved at him, which surprised him a bit.

"Let him come. One more won't make a difference."

Thus, Masahiko openly blended into the group of wealthy merchants behind Watermelon Mountain's Porcupine Demon.

In the group, the Ghost Shark was telling him some things to pay attention to. Masahiko laughed in his mind. That fatty was willing to do things after receiving money. He was quite serious.

"Do you remember?"

Masahiko came back to reality and said with a smile. "Yes." God knows what he remembered.

Luckily, this was not a high school class, and the Ghost Shark was not a teacher. Otherwise, he would definitely ask him to repeat it. That would be awkward …

The Ghost Shark turned around and was about to go back. Masahiko looked at the few rich merchants and was not interested in talking to them.

"Shark-faced brother, don't leave in such a hurry. How about staying for a chat?"

The Ghost Shark paused. No one had ever called him that before.

"My name is Dried Persimmon Ghost Shark."

"Ghost Shark? Isn't that a kind of shark? Your parents must have named you after you were born, based on your face. "

The ghost mermaid's eyes turned into dead fish eyes again. Ignoring Masahiko, she turned around and returned to Watermelon Mountain's side.

"Speaking of sad things?" Masahiko laughed in his mind. The young Ghost Shark was different from the future Ghost Shark. Otherwise, he would have killed him long ago.

As time passed, more and more people showed up. Occasionally, some civilians would come, but most of them chose to accept Watermelon Mountain's protection. In just one day, he had earned nearly 20 million yuan.

"Sure enough, the best way to get rich is to collect protection fees, huh?" Seeing the Ghost Mermaid bringing another civilian rich merchant and explaining the things that he should pay attention to, Masahiko thought to himself.

Suddenly, the whole place quieted down. Masahiko thought that the guest had arrived. He looked at the entrance and found that it was a young man who was about ten years old.

"This guy looks familiar." Masahiko was curious. This young man didn't come in with a cat in his arms like he did, but he still attracted everyone's attention.

"Shark-faced brother, who's that young man?" Masahiko asked the Ghost Shark with a smile.

"He's an amazing young man." The Ghost Shark's tone was weird to begin with, and this time, it sounded even more teasing, which made Masahiko feel a bit uneasy.

"It's okay. Don't be jealous. Everyone knows you in the Hidden Mist Village. When you go to other places, people will pay attention to you like this."

The Ghost Shark's face couldn't turn black, or else Masahiko would definitely see a black shark …

"If you're curious, go say hi to that young man. Let's see whether he will kill you or not. He just killed all the prospective graduates in the graduation exam."

Masahiko paused for a second. He ignored the Ghost Shark's counterattack and looked at that young man.

"Momotani no Momotani? Doesn't he have eyebrows? " It was no wonder that Masahiko didn't recognize him. Momotani no Momotani had such obvious facial features as the Ghost Shark. The only one who didn't have eyebrows didn't have eyebrows. That young man's eyebrows were light, but he did have them …

"Other people are bald because they're old, but his eyebrows?" Masahiko laughed in his mind.

Momotani no Momotani only attracted attention for a short while. Although the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village paid more attention to him, he had just become a Genin.

When Momotani walked past, Masahiko looked at the entrance. He wanted to see if there was anyone else he knew.

Until he saw a young man with orange hair who was about eleven or twelve years old.

"Yagura? He's this old now? " Masahiko roughly recalled. It had been about ten years since Yagura died in the original story. At that time, he only looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man.

"A legal shota." Masahiko sighed. Then, he felt that something wasn't quite right …
