Haruki, who had been walking away, silently formed hand seals in front of him, a flash of lightning appearing on his right hand.
The next instant, the already extremely fast speed of the Lightning Blade combined with Haruki's near-maxed Body Flicker Technique, and by the time the young man reacted, Haruki's right hand had already pierced through the young man's chest.
The young man was, after all, the manager of a bounty hunter's guild, and Haruki couldn't gauge his exact strength.
To be safe, he had to use this method.
Perhaps some people might think Haruki's sneak attack was unfair.
If Haruki heard this, he would surely spit in their faces. Have you ever seen a ninja fight like a warrior, head-on?
Ninjas are assassins, similar to killers. Haruki didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
To be safe, he didn't hesitate at all. With his left hand, he unleashed another Lightning Blade, piercing the other man's neck.
He always remembered the saying, "Villains die from talking too much."
"Bang!"
The young man's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"How dare you kill me? The bounty hunter's guild has been around for a thousand years, how powerful are its hidden strengths!"
Even when the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages were put on a bounty by the bounty hunter's guild, they didn't dare to attack. Why would this person dare to do this?
Unfortunately, he never got a chance to know the answer. His eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.
Watching the young man die, the girl beside him trembled, unable to speak a word.
Haruki glanced at her and went straight to the back of the bounty hunter's guild, storing all the information inside in his personal space.
He didn't mind killing, but he wasn't a bloodthirsty killer.
This was just an ordinary girl, one who didn't even have chakra. It didn't matter if he let her go.
After Haruki left, the trembling girl hurriedly got up. The ground where she had been standing rose up.
Even though there were traces of blood on her delicate hands, she didn't stop.
After digging a pit fifty centimeters deep, a red scroll appeared in the pit.
The scroll wasn't big, about the size of a rolled-up A4 sheet of paper.
Taking out the scroll, the girl seemed to relax, no longer as flustered as before.
"Haruki, a one hundred million Ryo bounty, this girl remembers you!"
Looking in the direction Haruki had left, the girl muttered under her breath. The next moment, the scroll unfurled, and the girl vanished in a cloud of smoke.
If Haruki had heard the girl's words, he would have been shocked. Because he had been maintaining his perfect Transformation Technique!
Even among Kage-level ninjas, few could see through him. How did an ordinary girl like this figure it out?
Unfortunately, Haruki didn't know any of this.
After leaving the bounty hunter's guild, Haruki immediately headed to the next town.
Upon arriving in the town, he casually checked into a room and began to examine the information he had acquired.
From these documents, he learned who had put a bounty on each person.
After flipping through dozens of pages, Haruki saw his own information. Looking at the words written on it, the killing intent in his eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
"Shimura Danzo, it was you!"
The document clearly stated: Konohagakure ninja Haruki, six years old, bounty of one hundred million Ryo, bounty poster placed by Shimura Danzo.
After rescuing Kakashi and Rin Nohara, he had already graduated with Minato's approval, and was now a formal Genin.
That was why the document said Konohagakure Genin.
After seeing his own information, Haruki silently sentenced Danzo to death in his heart.
The "Konohagakure Pot King"? What was the point of you being the "Konohagakure Pot King" if Minato wasn't dead?
Putting aside his own affairs, he continued to examine the documents in his hand, but the more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
This document recorded so much information, almost all the secrets of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
How many Jonin each village had, their strength, how many forces they were secretly cultivating.
Haruki didn't know about the other villages, but he had some understanding of Konohagakure, and this information was spot-on!
The only thing missing was Rin Nohara becoming the Three-Tails Jinchūriki. Otherwise, Haruki would have suspected that the bounty hunter's guild was also under Black Zetsu's control.
But even so, it was terrifying enough.
Carefully putting away the documents in his hand, he planned to give them to Minato when he returned to the village so that he could be prepared.
He stroked his chin and thought.
"No wonder in the original story, Kakuzu and Hidan, both Kage-level ninjas, completed their bounties obediently instead of directly robbing the bounty hunter's guild. It seems there's a reason for it!"
The documents didn't have any information about the bounty hunter's guild itself, so Haruki didn't know how powerful it was, but he imagined it couldn't be small.
Now that he had offended the bounty hunter's guild, Haruki became cautious.
After resting for a day, Haruki continued on to the next town. This time was different from before, because he had learned Tsunade's information.
After Haruki left Konohagakure, Minato and Orochimaru didn't idle either. Various technological products flowed out of Orochimaru's laboratory.
With the Konohagakure ninjas helping with farming, Konohagakure's funds were practically overflowing, so they invested heavily in the laboratory.
In Orochimaru's hands, this money turned into generators, electric lights, computers, and other items, greatly improving the quality of life for the people of Konohagakure.
After the news spread, some nobles of the Land of Fire no longer lived in Konohagakure, and they all wanted to settle down in Konohagakure.
Minato, who had started a real estate business at Haruki's suggestion, was almost out of breath as he watched the silver bills pile up like paper.
This way, not only did Konohagakure not spend any money, but they also made a lot of money, making Minato overjoyed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had seen all this, was so envious that his teeth were about to fall out. Why didn't he have so much money when he was in power?
Because of this money, he had been led around by the nose by the Daimyo. Unlike Minato, he was tough and didn't give a damn about the Daimyo.
With money, things were naturally different. Minato mobilized all the ninjas to start building a new Konohagakure, even the Anbu wasn't spared.
Steel bars, concrete, and other items were transported from Orochimaru's laboratory, and in the hands of these ninjas, they transformed into houses.
The former two-story Hokage Tower was no longer the tallest building. High-rises were constantly appearing.
The ninjas' labor force was almost shocking. Every day when they woke up, the residents of Konohagakure would find that Konohagakure had undergone another major change.
Besides all this, the most important thing was that the Fourth Hokage's wife, the Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Kushina, was pregnant!
The future savior, the undisputed protagonist, was about to be born!
By now, three of the Leaf Village Twelve had been born, and nine were still in the womb.
