After being thrown in jail because of Masahiko, Teuchi was released in less than two hours, unscathed. Masahiko wasnt surprised. He observed him for a month, and he couldnt find anything wrong with him. Konohas Anbu wouldnt humiliate their own civilians, not to ntion the Anbu led by Sakumo.
Feeling guilty, Masahiko went to comfort him.
It is a bit too much for an ordinary person, huh Masahiko murmured with a sad expression after he noticed how Teuchis hands kept shaking.
Masahiko found out that carving sculptures was also a way to put his thoughts on. So he kept carving various deanors for Hashirama and Madara, which made him feel vivid again.
Huh? Masahiko raised his head, then smiled, saying, Welco!
Since Masahiko hanged out the One Million For Each Figure sign on the door, his reputation spread far and wide, and no one visited him since. However, Masahiko wasnt short for money and felt happy this way.
Yet all of a sudden, Hatake Sakumo decided to visit.
Sakumo nodded in response to Masahikos greeting, walked into the store, and looked around.
After a long ti, Sakumo suddenly turned his head and said, Elder Masahiko?
Masahikos face beca stiff, then he quickly acted as if he was confused, Who? Masahiko wanted to continue to conceal his identity, not knowing that Tsunade and Orochimaru have already guessed that it was him.
Sakumo put his hand on his chin then said, It was you who put the poison inside the ran bowl, and before that, youve set off that strong wind, so none of us can see you, right?
Masahiko looked at how Sakumo seed affirmative, and cursed inwardly: What are you exactly, Detective Conan?
Shinobi-Dono, youre joking, right? Masahiko was struggling to death.
Sakumo glanced at Masahiko again, smiled, and said, Except you and Mito-Sama, who else out there so familiar with the First Hokage to be able to sculpt him this detailed?
Masahiko frowned, he seed like he was about to say sothing, but he suddenly hesitated and sighed, Well, it was getting boring anyway.
Sakumo smiled bitterly, Well, I had to investigate this matter, I hope you understand.
Masahiko glared, And what were your investigation results?
Sakumo paused, It might not satisfy you.
Thats okay. Masahiko murmured, then pointed to a chair in the store, Sit down and tell what you know so far.
Sakumo sat down and explained, That person is an S-Class Rogue Ninja called Juzo from Kirigakure, one of the Seven Legendary Swordsn.
Masahiko waved his hand and interrupted him.
I know all of that, tell about his purpose.
Sakumo paused again, then said, He seems to be a mber of the Akatsuki. He has been tasked to ruin the marriage between the Senju and the Uchiha.
Masahiko frowned, and sighed inwardly, So it was the Akatsuki. Juzo was so easily captured that he thought maybe it was another party.
So the Akatsuki now is full of a bunch of idiots? I feel really sorry for the Akatsukis na, no wonder Kakuzu left them.
Masahikos expression suddenly beca solemn. Sakumo reacted quickly and also looked serious and kind of eager, thinking that Masahiko had discovered sothing important.
There is one more important thing now, Masahiko said word by word, How about changing your sons na again?
What?
Half a month passed, and Ichiraku Ran finally got so improvent. Lately, because of rumors that soone has ate to death here, the business was in a downturn for a while, but because of the good quality and low price, it gradually returned to life.
Masahikos shop didnt improve. During this period, apart from selling to the Sannin, only Sakumo bought a figure of his own to help Masahiko take care of his business.
Masahiko needed a smart strategy for the shop. So he decided first to identify the right people within the predetermined target market.
At this price, only people who can do S-Class tasks in Konoha can afford it. They must be acquaintances. Masahiko murmured, Its a bit boring, though.
Although he was ready to stay quiet until Konohas thirty-eighth year, his inactive life was a bit unbearable, especially when there was no interesting event going on.
Just when he could no longer bear to be lonely, a new fun thing arrived.
Another familiar Chakra fluctuation again, Sakumo is by his side, so it shouldnt be from the Akatsuki, he should be a ssenger.
Masahikos shop is located right in the center of the village, so any visitor will have to pass by his door to get to the Hokage building.
I rember that he was called Mangetsu Hozuki, but there are a few ninjas with him that I dont know. Masahiko frowned, recalling carefully.
They should be here in Konoha to retrieve their Rogue Ninja, and the Kubikiribocho. Masahikos heart moved the mont he had this new idea.
If they redeem the Kubikiribocho, I will be able to bring it back later. He was hesitant to take it directly from Konoha before, but if he was going to take it from Kirigakure, he wouldnt have any psychological pressure.
Masahiko wasnt in a hurry, when Mangetsu and his party return, they must pass by his shop again, and it will depend on the situation when that happens.
Sure enough, after more than an hour, Sakumo accompanied Kirigakures party to the gate. Mangetsu had a big sword on his shoulder. The others escorted Juzo, not knowing how much they ended up paying to just get him back.
Masahiko closed the shops door, put the Closed sign on it, then entered Blacks mode.
Sakumo escorted them to the gate, then turned around and returned, while Masahiko followed them quietly. He wasnt in a hurry. If he does it so close to the village, they might be mistaken for him.
This distance should be enough. If I wait any longer, they will accuse the Uzumaki afterward. Masahiko murmured and prepared to start the action.
Suddenly a violent gust of wind hit, Masahikos face went dark as the scene beca inexplicably familiar, but he didnt do anything yet.
Or maybe its . Masahiko murmured, then perceived the surrounding area, to find that it was his shadow clone. It seems that his clone ca from the Uzumaki Village to take the sword.
Sure enough, my clone had the sa idea as . What a waste of ti.
Masahiko watched his clone stun the Kirigakures party, then snatched the sword away and escaped.
Ill just go back. Its really frustrating to find sothing fun, then it gets stolen by his own shadow clone.
Back in Konoha, Sakumo was already waiting in front of Masahikos shop.
Elder Masahiko, are you not going to take the sword? Sakumo sighed and said. He beca really familiar with Masahikos character.
Masahiko shook his head in denial, How is it possible, I just went out for a walk.
Sakumo obviously didnt believe him, but Masahiko continued to say anyway: If it was who robbed it, I would definitely admit it, but really not .
At the sa ti, he muttered inwardly, My shadow clone took it, it really has nothing to do with .
