New Teammate! Fake-Smiling Sai!
After the negotiations with Kumogakure concluded, the village kept its promise and deposited all of the money that was rightfully owed to the Shinki into his account.
Shinki suddenly became a wealthy person.
People should have higher pursuits; for example, after becoming wealthy, they should think about how to make even more money.
Shinki is that kind of person.
The moment he received the six million yuan, his first thought was to invest in Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
However, Teuchi said that the Ramen shop was his family business and he had no intention of opening a chain, so Shinki had to give up.
A few days later, Shinki and Naruto were summoned to the Hokage's Office by Tsunade, who said they had a new mission.
"Are you kidding me? I'm so rich now, why would I still need to do missions?"
Shinki said lazily.
Ever since he became rich, he felt that life was worth living!
All I want to do Tenten is enjoy life. Being a salted fish that just basks in the sun and never turns over is pretty good!
Tsunade was extremely dissatisfied with Shinki's recent extravagance and debauchery, and angrily roared, "You'd better stop!"
"You think you can just accept or reject missions whenever you want?! (▼ヘ▼#)"
"You're a seasoned Ninja now; having money should give you even more self-control!"
Shinki pouted. "Master, when you used to gamble, were you considered mature? (*￣3￣)"
Tsunade: (▼皿▼#)
"Don't expose my secrets, kid!!"
And so, Shinki and his companion accepted the C-rank mission.
The task is simple: find Ferret with black spots on its body.
As for the location of the Ferret, it is said to be on a mountain in the Land of Fire.
"Such a vast area, and such a tiny mink, it'd take forever to find it. _"
Naruto said dejectedly.
Shinki nodded.
Wild animals roam freely; finding a weasel in the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Land of Fire is like finding a needle in a haystack!
"Stop complaining, we've already outlined a general area for you."
Tsunade.
Having grown accustomed to seeing how capable Shinki was at everything, she was actually a little happy to see his troubled expression.
"Also, because of Sasuke's departure, the village has assigned you a new comrade."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she clapped her hands.
The door to the Hokage's Office opened, and a pale-skinned Ninja stepped out.
"This is Sai."
Tsunade explained.
Upon hearing this, Shinki and Naruto began to scrutinize their new companion.
With black hair, fair skin, and regular features, he is considered a handsome man by many young girls.
However, the perceptive Shinki noticed a blind spot and raised his hand in question.
"Why is this guy wearing a crop top when he's a guy?"
Tsunade -_-||: "Can't you focus on something else that's more useful?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ) "
Sai:¯_(ツ)_/¯
After Shinki's speech, Sai's expression remained unchanged.
He stretched out his hand, his facial muscles twitching as he made what he thought was a friendly smile.
(｡◝ᴗ◜｡)
"Hello, my name is Sai."
Shinki, Naruto; Tsunade: "..."
This person's face looks like it's been rented!
Isn't he familiar with the muscles in his face?
Why does his smile look so awkward?
"Shinki."
Shinki extended his hand and greeted him in a similarly friendly manner.
"My name is Naruto, and from now on we're comrades."
Naruto replied in a very friendly manner.
A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Shinki's face.
He originally thought Naruto would be ridiculous and say that no one was needed to replace Sasuke.
It seems that after going through so much, Naruto used to like to cause trouble, has matured a lot.
Tsunade, shooing away the brats like flies.
"Alright, let's not delay any longer, you guys get going!"
Outside the Hokage's Office,
Sai maintained an awkward smile and asked, "How do we get to the mission location?"
"That's easy."
As Shinki spoke, he formed a hand seal for a Summoning Technique spell.
The next moment, a huge Goshawk appeared.
The three climbed onto the Goshawk's back.
The giant eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the mission location.
Inside the Hokage's Office, Tsunade frowned as she watched the three people fly away on their eagles.
"I wonder if this kid Danzo arranged is reliable or not."
Flying through the sky, Naruto couldn't have felt more exhilarated.
He said, "Now that Sasuke has left, who knows when he'll be back."
Just then, Sai spoke up, "Even if Sasuke Ninja Village Konoha, came back, no one would accept him."
Naruto instantly lost his composure, leaping up from the eagle's back and grabbing Sai by the collar, yelling, "What did you say?!"
Sai maintained the same smile as before.
Are you hard of hearing?
"Then I'll explain it to you again. I said that someone like Sasuke, who defected from Ninja Village Konoha, would be rejected even if he came back. He's a traitor and a coward."
Naruto was surprised that there were actually people who weren't afraid of death and dared to emphasize it a second time.
He raised his hand and punched Sai in the face!
Shinki sensed something strange about the companion that Tsunade's master had given him.
Even when facing Naruto's fist, he maintained that awkward smile.
Just like a robot!
Sai's left cheek instantly turned blue, but he stubbornly insisted, "I don't understand why you hit me. I was just stating a fact."
"Also, if you want to fight, I'm always ready."
After saying that, Sai took out the Scroll that was hanging on his lower back.
The Scroll was unrolled, revealing a blank surface.
Then, he pulled out a brush from somewhere and began to paint on the Scroll.
Soon, a ferocious-looking giant beast was drawn, lifelike!
"Ninja Art · Super Beast Imitating Drawing!"
Sai a soft shout, the lion drawn on the paper actually stood up and came to life!
Naruto: "What kind of weird Ninjutsu is this? (⊙o⊙)"
"Now that we're all teammates, let me introduce my Ninja Art."
Sai said in a very easygoing manner.
"Simply put, my Super Beast Imitating Drawing can materialize objects drawn on Scrolls."
The Shinki beside it was also stunned.
Is this Sai Magic Brush Ma Liang?!
Then, Shinki asked with a serious expression, "Can everything you draw be materialized?"
"Then can you draw money?"
Sai actually started thinking about it, and after a few seconds, he shook his head.
"No, I spend most of my cultivation time painting animals. Painting money is too intricate; I can't do it."
"Okay. ┓( ´∀` )┏"
Shinki nodded.
However, Sai's appearance allowed him to truly witness the bizarre and varied applications of Chakra.
He can draw anything perfectly; it's an enviable ability!
Can I give it a try?
Shinki suddenly asked.
Sai generously handed over the painting Scroll and brush to Shinki.
Please use it.
Shinki took the brush and Scroll and began to paint earnestly on them...
However, what Shinki drew looked quite spectacular. Although Sai and Naruto next to him were completely confused, they still felt it was very impressive.
Sai thought to himself: As expected of the person Danzo wary of, he has many secrets hidden within him!
