"Who are you?" At this time, Matsushita Taro, who had recovered, looked at Sei Itō and asked.
"Who I am is not important, what's important is whether you want to live or die." Sei Itō looked down at Matsushita Taro and said with a smile.
"You are not a member of the Rock Ninja Anbu?" Matsushita Taro frowned and asked.
"No." Sei Itō shook his head and said, "Tell me your choice."
"What do you want me to do?" Matsushita Taro didn't say his choice but asked.
"I need a group of orphans, but I'm too lazy to look for them all over the world, so I'm going to find a few people to help me collect them, and you are now one of the people who will be performing this task. What do you think?" Sei Itō explained.
"Is it that simple?" Matsushita Taro said in disbelief.
"It's that simple." Sei Itō spread out his hands and said.
"If it's only this kind of thing, I can promise you." Matsushita Taro immediately agreed.
"Very good." Sei Itō nodded slightly and said with a smile. Then he walked over to Matsushita Taro's head and squatted down, turned his hand, and opened the acupuncture bag. Just like what he did with Takakura Yousuke, he used acupuncture to set up a sealing circle and some other methods in Matsushita Taro's mind, and then woke up the unconscious Matsushita Taro.
"What did you do to me?" After waking up, Matsushita Taro quickly checked his body, just like Takakura Yousuke, and after discovering the abnormality in his brain, he asked Sei Itō.
"Some kind of method that can let me deal with you in an instant." Sei Itō said lightly, and then his mind moved slightly. The Nippon Tachia Taro's body immediately scattered into countless small Ki, and at the same time, because of the dissipation of the Nippon Tachia Taro's body, the seal on Matsushita Taro's body was released.
"Take this and use it to contact me in the future." Sei Itō once again took out a small black ball and threw it to Matsushita Taro, who had just sat up from the ground. "As for the children you've collected, find a place to settle them at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. Then, use this to contact me and tell me their exact location."
"How do I use this?" Matsushita Taro stood up from the ground and asked as he fiddled with the little black ball.
"Just say it," Sei Itō said.
"Oh." Matsushita Taro nodded. He casually put the small black ball into his pocket and turned to look at Sei Itō. "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. "
"Go ahead," Sei Itō said as he shook his head.
Matsushita Taro nodded and turned to walk out of the forest. However, the moment he turned around, a kunai suddenly appeared in his hand. At the same time, he activated the Body Flicker Technique and appeared in front of Sei Itō. With a ferocious look on his face, he stabbed at Sei Itō's throat.
"Heh." Sei Itō sneered and quickly leaped backward. At the same time, the Psychic Energy in his mind suddenly jumped. Matsushita Taro, who had missed his attack, suddenly fainted on the ground without any resistance.
Then, Sei Itō raised his hand and summoned a ball of water. He threw it at Matsushita Taro's face. The cold water immediately woke Matsushita Taro from his coma. He instinctively jumped up from the ground and assumed a defensive posture. When he saw Sei Itō standing to the side, his expression changed slightly. He slowly withdrew his defensive posture and stood obediently to the side, waiting for Sei Itō's reprimand.
"Only this time. Next time, I'll kill you directly and find someone else to replace you. You should know that you're not the only traitor in this world, "Sei Itō said coldly as he looked at Matsushita Taro, who had become obedient.
"Yes." Matsushita Taro lowered his head and respectfully replied.
"Go. Try to find some qualified children. It would be best if they have a Kekkei Genkai," Sei Itō said as he waved his hand.
"I understand," Matsushita Taro lowered his head and replied. Then, he turned around and quickly left the forest.
After Matsushita Taro left, Sei Itō also followed him out of the forest. Without stopping, he walked towards Konoha Village. In this way, after walking for about five days, Sei Itō finally arrived at the forest outside Konoha Village.
"What justifiable reason should I use to enter Konoha Village?" Standing on an old tree, Sei Itō looked at the faintly visible walls of Konoha Village in the distance and thought to himself.
"I got it. I'll use this identity." A moment later. After a while, Sei Itō's eyes lit up and decided.
Then, Sei Itō jumped down from the branch and landed on the ground. Then, he waved his hand and summoned a large wooden box that was about half the height of an adult and 50 or 60 centimeters wide. He filled the box with the items he needed, then he closed the box and carried it on his back. Step by step, he walked towards Konoha Village.
"Stop right there." Just when Sei Itō was ten meters away from the gate of Konoha Village, a man's voice suddenly sounded. Then, a black-haired man wearing a Konoha Ninja headband and a green vest came in front of Sei Itō and said coldly. "Check."
"Yes, yes." Ito Sei put the box on his back on the ground in fear and trepidation and opened it for the person to check.
"What kind of toys are these?" The man looked at the things in the box and said with a frown.
"Ninja-sama, these are some women's household items." Sei Itō whispered.
"Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming to Konoha?" Hearing this, the man looked at Sei Itō with contempt and asked.
"My name is Sei Itō, I am a traveling merchant, and I am coming to Konoha to sell these things." Sei Itō bowed slightly and smiled.
"Is that so?" The man looked up and down at Sei Itō, and after determining that he was not a Ninja, he waved his hand and said. "Come with me to register, and then wait for the Hokage to summon you."
"Yes, yes." Sei Itō quickly nodded and then carried the big wooden box again and returned to the gate of Konoha Village with the man to register.
"Come with me." The Ninja responsible for picking up Sei Itō waved his hand and said. Then, without waiting for Sei Itō, he went to the waiting area. Behind him, Sei Itō had to carry the big wooden box again and trotted to keep up.
"Here we are." After a while, Sei Itō came to a three-story building under the guidance of the Ninja and stopped in front of a room on the second floor.
"You will live here until the Hokage summons you. Don't run around and don't go out of the examination area, otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences." The Ninja turned around and looked at Sei Itō and said indifferently.
"Understood, understood." Sei Itō quickly nodded.
"That's good." After saying this, the Ninja immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared in front of Sei Itō. Obviously, this was not only to quickly return to the post, but also to deter the newcomer. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Body Flicker Technique is too magical, and they will unconsciously have a sense of awe.
In this regard, Sei Itō secretly smiled, but his face was full of amazement. He carried the big box and walked into the room arranged for him and closed the door to rest.
…
Two days later, Sei Itō, who was bored waiting, finally received a summons from the Hokage. He carried the big wooden box and left the examination area with the Ninja who came to pick him up. He walked to the center of Konoha and walked toward the Hokage's office.
"Hokage sama, No. 338 is waiting for the examiner." Outside the Hokage's office, the Ninja shouted at the wooden door.
"Come in." Then an old man's voice came from behind the door.
"Sorry to disturb you." The Ninja respectfully said, then opened the door in front of him and walked into the Hokage's office with Sei Itō.
"Hokage sama." The Ninja respectfully said to the old man in the room, who was wearing a white haori and a red and white hat with the word 'Fire' written on the front. His face was full of wrinkles, and he was immersed in the documents.
"This is the Third Hokage, Sarutobi." Sei Itō, who was thinking in his heart, also hurriedly said. "Hello, Hokage sama."
"No. 338 is waiting for the examiner, Sei Itō, who claims to be a traveling merchant, wants to sell things in Konoha." Next to the Hokage, a young Ninja in a green vest flipped through the booklet in his hand and said to Sei Itō.
"What do you plan to sell in Konoha?" The Hokage asked with a gentle face.
"Hokage sama, I plan to sell some women's products." Sei Itō said as he put the big wooden box on the ground, opened the lid, and took out a few things on the edge of the wooden box.
"Oh, how are you going to sell your things?" Sandaime looked at the things that Sei Itō put out and asked with a smile.
"If Hokage sama allows, I want to rent a small shop to sell." Sei Itō looked up at Sandaime and said.
"Rent a shop …" Sandaime pondered for a moment, then turned to the young Ninja on the side and said: "Look around the village and see if there are any empty houses near the Commercial Street."
"Yes." The young ninja nodded and looked at the booklet in his hand. After a while, he looked up at Sandaime and said, "Hokage-sama, at the end of the Commercial Street, there is still a shop available."
"Well, I will rent that shop to you." The Hokage nodded and turned to Sei Itō with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Hokage sama, but I don't know the rent …" Sei Itō said with embarrassment.
"Because you are not a Konoha Shinobi, the rent will be 20% higher than the residents of Konoha, about 300,000 per month, do you still want to rent it?" The Hokage said with a smile.
"300,000 … I don't know if Hokage sama can make an exception, 300,000 is a bit too much for me." Sei Itō said with embarrassment.
"This is the rule, I can't do anything about it." The Hokage said with a slight shake of his head.
"In that case, in that case … I will rent it. I believe that the prosperity of Konoha will allow me to sell these things at a good price! "Sei Itō pretended to hesitate for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Hahaha, that's good, Bamboo, give him permission." Sandaime seemed to be amused by Sei Itō's last sentence, and he laughed and said to the young Ninja on the side.
