"What!?"
"Oh, I'm confused!"
Before his family could finish speaking, Tazuna suddenly ran away and ran towards his home.
Land of Waves who didn't know what was going on also followed Tazuna to his home.
When they saw the gold bars and banknotes in Tazuna's house, everyone was stunned.
To be honest, Land of Waves No one has ever seen so many treasures!
Even if everyone in the country had their money, there wouldn't necessarily be so much!
With this money, there is nothing you can do...
"Oh! I owe a huge debt!"
However, unexpectedly, Tazuna let out a long sigh, which was puzzling.
Only Tazuna recalled the conversation between the black-haired guy and himself. He originally thought it was just a joke--
"No, these are not our money. You saved this country, how can you let me... Anyway, I can't accept it!"
Looking at the shining Golden Light among Combination Lock and Safe, Tazuna was not tempted at all, but refused righteously.
"Old man, this is the money Gato earned from squeezing you, and your country is also short of money now, why don't you accept it?"
The later brother Blond Hair asked in confusion.
"That's not the case. Although Shipping Company of Gato did do a lot of outrageous things in Land of Waves, it was just over a year and he definitely didn't earn so much. Some of it was money he earned from other places!"
"Although our country is poor, we used to rely on hard work for income. I know very well how much money we can make in a year."
"And what Land of Waves needs now is more courage than money..."
Tazuna waved his hand and spoke very honestly, but his reluctance could also be heard.
"But..."
Shino seemed to want to say something more, but at this time he was almost at his limit. He was lying on the sofa and talking very softly, and no one paid attention to what he said.
This made Shino seem to feel that his injuries were even more painful.
"Besides, I originally lied to you Konoha. I heard the beautiful girl Jonin say that this kind of dangerous mission is at least the mission of B-Rank and even A-Rank. You can take these back. They were seriously injured for this. These are used as compensation..."
Seeing this old man being so stubborn gave Naruto a headache.
She mentioned this to herself before when she sent Kurenai Yuhi back to the village for treatment.
The country is very poor, and the half-built bridge has almost exhausted their savings.
As a result, their fight with Gato caused a lot of trouble for Land of Waves.
Properties such as many civilian houses have been more or less damaged in the pursuit over the past few days.
"Leave it to me."
Sasuke on the side suddenly spoke, and then pulled Tazuna to the side, leaving Naruto with a confused look on his face to continue to provide emergency treatment to Shino who was lying on the sofa.
But it is obvious that Naruto did not learn half of Hinata's technique, and used too much force, which almost aggravated Shino's injury.
On the other side, as Sasuke and Tazuna communicated, the latter's eyes grew wider and wider.
"You mean, it's a loan?"
"Yes, we will take some of it away, but we will keep most of it and lend it to your country with interest."
Sasuke nodded, looking like he was already familiar with the road.
After all, this is not the first time he has done something like lending money to a country.
"..."
Tazuna was silent for a moment, then continued to shake his head.
"... It still doesn't work. Although you said it was a loan, you never thought about going back. You were just looking for a reason to send this money to Land of Waves."
Tazuna's stubbornness surprised Sasuke, but he quickly changed his words:
"That counts as an investment."
"Investment? What is Land of Waves worthy of your investment..."
"Of course, what do you Land of Waves have?"
"... You don't even know what to invest in what we have? Unfortunately, Land of Waves is just a poor country. To be honest, we only have that one bridge that has not been repaired..."
"That's fine, let's invest in that bridge."
Sasuke thought for a while and said to Tazuna, "Also, just go to Konoha this time and issue a long-term Guard commission. Stop hiding the mission level. This time you also know that Konoha's Ninja is trustworthy."
I thought the other party was just joking, but I didn't expect that they actually left the money and left.
Looking at the money in this house, Tazuna knew that this debt of gratitude was really owed by Land of Waves to Konoha's Ninjas.
Tazuna looked at it carefully and found that the money here was not all the money he had before. The little brother really did what he said and only left the money equivalent to Land of Waves's income in the previous year.
And he even considered the crime of having a jade in his possession.
"Hey, Tazuna, this money..."
"Konoha Bridge."
"Eh?"
"I mean, that bridge will be called Konoha Bridge from now on!"
Tazuna stood up and patted his chest. "I will not keep this money. All of it will be used to build Land of Waves. During this time, Gato's men have caused trouble for anyone. If there is difficulty, everyone should go and help first."
"Then let's devote ourselves to building this Konoha Bridge!"
Naruto, who had returned to Konoha, took Sasuke to report on this mission.
Because Kakashi, who is responsible for leading the team, is lying in the hospital at this time, and since he has no relatives, Hinata temporarily stays in the hospital to take care of the teacher.
And listening to Naruto's report, Third also breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of emergency rescue mission is not unusual in the Ninja mission, but in most cases, there will not be such a good result as everyone surviving.
"No matter what, it's good that class Kurenai Yuhi can come back safely."
Third Hokage looked at Naruto and was very pleased.
The ban originally used to protect him prohibited the disclosure of information such as Flying Thunder God. Now, as Naruto has become stronger, there is no need to hide it anymore.
People in the village constantly come into contact with him and will continue to recognize him.
"Since Kakashi is resting, I will also evaluate this emergency mission... There is no need to go on another mission for the time being, so you should go and have a good rest."
Get out of the building.
Sasuke keeps staring at Naruto.
"What's wrong?"
"... Where's that woman?"
Naruto paused, looking left and right, as if to confirm whether the partition wall had ears.
However, after seeing the performance of Naruto, Sasuke had already made a rough guess.
"Is she finally ready to take revenge?"
"How do you know?"
Naruto was shocked.
"... I need to remind you that I am also a Avengers, and on the previous journey, I spent more time with her than you did with her."
Sasuke said angrily, "You don't think you and Kakashi are the only ones who know what she wants to do, do you?"
"So you know it too. I even told Hinata not to let you know, maybe..."
"..."
Sasuke didn't speak. After confirming the whereabouts of Mei Terumi, he just didn't say much, and then he pointed at his back.
Naruto knew that this was Sasuke's signal to him not to forget his people.
Scratching his head, Naruto always felt as if he had inherited Kakashi-sensei's life of hard work recently.
