Stop, Roga, Your Excellency wishes to cooperate with you two!

When Kakuzu suggested they sweep through the remaining Black Market missions in the Grass Country, Genba was instantly wide awake.

He patted Kakuzu on the shoulder and said, "Kakuzi, you've grown up. Now you finally look like a mercenary. Not to lecture you, but those decades you spent in the Black Market before were basically just a retirement hobby!"

Hearing this, Kakuzu took a deep breath. He didn't bother arguing with Genba; he would simply make Genba feel the pain through a massive volume of missions.

Thinking about the sheer number of missions he could grind next, Genba was incredibly excited.

As they headed toward the next Black Market in the Grass Country, he asked casually, "Kakuzi, why don't we grind missions in the Grass Country long-term?"

Kakuzu replied offhandedly, "The Grass Country is just a small nation; the high-value missions in the Black Market are limited. To increase our profit efficiency, we will only team up for B-rank missions and above. Don't bother with D-rank and C-rank ones."

Genba said dismissively, "No worries, you take the missions, and I'll use my clones to grind the low-tier ones."

"Go take them yourself!" Kakuzu snorted coldly, then picked up his pace.

He felt that Genba was reaching his limit. Although Genba was currently very hyper, he could see the exhaustion beneath it.

This was only natural; for the past few days, neither he nor Genba had rested. Unless Genba was truly a monster, he had to be exhausted.

But he wanted to tell Genba that his suffering had only just begun.

Kakuzu's observation was correct; seven consecutive days of non-stop work had left Genba extremely fatigued.

However, it wasn't a major issue. He and Kakuzu had earned over 75 million ryo from missions, and when combined with the extra commission bonuses from turning in tasks at the Empty District and the money his Chakra Clones earned from low-tier missions, he now had 80 million ryo in his hands!

This amount of money was definitely not a small sum, but unfortunately, such money-making opportunities were rare.

After he and Kakuzu completely harvested the Black Market missions in the Grass Country, it was hard to say how long it would take for the market to return to such a vibrant, flourishing state.

While continuing to follow Kakuzu, Genba began to allocate his points.

[Ding! Recharge successful! Current balance: 80,173,900 ryo!]

[Name: Uchiha Genba]

[Age: 18]

Four-Dimensional Attributes:

[Stamina 2000: Incredible! Your stamina is now roughly equivalent to 0.9 of a Kakuzu! The Xuan Yu Brand Heart—one is better than six, and that's no dream!]

[Strength 4013: Your strength is terrifying! If you engage in a pure test of strength with Kakuzu, you will hold a significant advantage!]

[Speed 10102: Your speed is as fast as lightning, placing you at the pinnacle even among Super Kage-level ninjas! Your speed isn't just speed; it's the helpless tears of Kakuzu as you steal his mission targets right in front of his face!]

[Spirit 951: Have you gone to the Konoha Hospital for a check-up? The system suspects you might have neurasthenia!]

Talents:

[Speed Force: Possessing the Speed Force makes you a speedster. However, the intensity of your Speed Force is tied to your Speed attribute, and your endurance is tied to your Stamina attribute. With your current stats, you are still only at the level of a toddler learning to walk among speedsters.]

Abilities:

[Leaf Whirlwind lv10: Your Leaf Whirlwind taijutsu has gained a special effect, "Whirlwind Fierce Kick." Whirlwind Fierce Kick: When you execute this move, you can kick out a powerful whirlwind capable of blowing away even Kakuzu!]

[Three Body Technique lv10: Your Three Body Technique has gained a special effect, "Chakra Clone." Chakra Clone: You can create Chakra Clones that are living entities of chakra, similar to Tailed Beasts. The strength of these clones depends on the quantity and quality of your chakra.]

[Body Flicker Technique lv10: Your Body Flicker Technique has gained a special effect, "Phantom Body Flicker." Phantom Body Flicker: Within a specific range, you can create multiple clones that exist between physical form and illusion. The main body can switch between these phantoms. Phantoms are unaffected by attacks, and multiple phantoms can attack simultaneously. The strength of this ability is influenced by the Sharingan.]

[Healing Jutsu lv2: Your Healing Jutsu is a complete mess. Don't go around telling people you used this system to upgrade it with money; it's too embarrassing!]

After quickly browsing his system panel again, Genba began to consider how to allocate his points this time.

He pondered to himself, Should I go all-in on the Stamina attribute to get the Growth Gift Pack? Or should I shore up the weakness in my Spirit attribute? My Spirit attribute is too weak right now; if I run into a ninja like Itachi who specializes in genjutsu, it would be easy to capsize in the gutter.

The ninja world is full of crises; once you get hit, it's a dead end. Before, my funds were limited, so I could only prioritize Speed and Strength, but now I should patch up my weaknesses. As for the Growth Gift Pack, it won't expire, so I can claim it whenever.

Once my Spirit attribute is raised, I can also claim the Growth Gift Pack for it. As for the Healing Jutsu, it's not a high priority. Besides, ninjutsu is the kind of thing that only sees a qualitative change at lv10, so it's still too early.

After a quick calculation, Genba had his allocation plan.

In all the martial arts under heaven, only speed is invincible.

Therefore, when allocating points, he would prioritize Speed, followed by Stamina, Strength, and Spirit.

The ratio for allocation would be 1:2, with the other three items at 1 and the Speed attribute at 2.

For the time being, he could raise the other three stats to around 5000 points each.

However, Genba soon thought of another matter: should he save some commission money to upgrade key attributes or essential ninjutsu?

The missions at the Black Market Bounty Exchange were not like leeks; they didn't grow back immediately after being harvested.

Many jobs had been hanging at the Bounty Exchange for a very long time.

Once these missions were completed, the Bounty Exchange wouldn't be able to accumulate many new ones in a short period.

Not only that, but he and Kakuzu had been scouring the Bounty Exchange for missions aggressively. Once or twice shouldn't be a problem, as the Black Market managers would give Kakuzu some face.

But if it happened too often, it definitely wouldn't work. The Bounty Exchange wouldn't bet everything on one or two ninjas; they needed to cultivate other mercenaries to ensure a constant influx of fresh blood.

The only area where he could currently grind missions steadily was the Empty District. The Grass Country Black Market could only be considered half a source, and the missions there were about to be completely swept by him and Kakuzu.

While Genba was pondering these issues, he and Kakuzu were intercepted by two wandering ninjas who had suddenly appeared.

These two ninjas looked ordinary and didn't seem like they were looking for trouble, though it was unclear what their purpose was in stopping them.

After blocking their path, the two didn't waste any time. One of them spoke up quickly, "Please hold, gentlemen. Lord Roga would like to see you both."

"Not interested. Get out of the way!" Kakuzu was currently thinking about grinding Genba to death with missions; why would he care about meeting some Roga?

Genba, on the other hand, asked lazily, "Roga... that name sounds a bit familiar. Is there a mission for us, or is it something else? If there's a mission, I don't mind making the trip."
