Chapter 032: Intermediary Organizations

Tsunade Senju understood Wang Bo's thoughts; he wanted to learn chakra extraction techniques, become a ninja, and then personally avenge his comrades.

The idea was good, but a bit naive.

So she was unwilling to help him and instead pointed him toward a clear path.

Shizune advised from the side, "We understand your thoughts, but you're underestimating ninjas. Even if you learn chakra extraction and gain chakra, you won't be a match for orthodox ninjas."

"Orthodox ninjas learn chakra extraction techniques from childhood, along with various assassination skills, taijutsu, and even ninjutsu."

"They have roamed battlefields and possess rich experience in killing."

"A qualified ninja cannot be defeated by a half-baked amateur."

"So you'd better go to Konoha and post a mission."

She broke down the reasons and explained them thoroughly to Wang Bo, hoping he would abandon the idea.

Wang Bo said calmly, "I understand all that you've said, and I'm well aware of the gap between us. But I still hope you can sell me the chakra extraction technique."

Seeing Wang Bo's stubbornness, Tsunade Senju slammed the table, stood up, and strode out.

"Shizune, let's go."

As for the fifty thousand ryo, she didn't even glance at it.

Shizune gave Wang Bo an apologetic look, then got up and chased after Tsunade. The two quickly disappeared from Wang Bo's sight.

Wang Bo rubbed his temples.

This kid is in trouble.

Since Tsunade of the Thousand Hands disagreed to the deal, he would have to seek out rogue ninjas or wandering ninjas to make deals with.

But there was a downside to this.

That was the disparity in strength between the two parties; if the other side was ruthless enough, they could completely double-cross him.

And whether it was Tsunade or Shizune, though they were both ninjas who had killed countless people, they at least had a moral bottom line and wouldn't turn on him and kill him over such a small amount of money.

That was why Wang Bo had been so earnest in his speech earlier, even using the matter of Igarashi Chiba to win the sympathy of the two women.

But now it seemed that Wang Bo's attempt to gain sympathy had failed.

Since this path was blocked, Wang Bo could only take the original route.

After all, from the very beginning, Tsunade of the Thousand Hands and Shizune had never been part of Wang Bo's plan.

As for those ronin, they looked at Wang Bo as if they wanted to devour him; they had been completely intoxicated by the five hundred thousand ryo, and if not for a shred of reason, they would probably have jumped up to kill him and take the money.

But they still dared not do so now, because this was Tanigakure Street.

The reason Tanigakure Street could be so prosperous was mainly because there was someone here to maintain order; anyone who dared to cause trouble or kill here would be punished by Tanigakure Street.

And those who punished them were the Joint Chamber of Commerce of Tanigakure Street.

To maintain order on Tanigakure Street, the Joint Chamber of Commerce spared no expense in hiring many wandering samurai to guard the stability of Tanigakure Street.

If people were killing and robbing each other every few days here, who the hell would come to gamble?

Tanigakure Street wouldn't be so bustling either.

All of this was absent from the original story, after all, the original story had very little description of Tanigakure Street.

But for a commercial street to be so bustling, order and stability were a must.

No one would like to do business in a place that was a complete mess.

No one is a fool.

Of course, just because something is rare doesn't mean it hasn't happened. As long as you do it cleanly, the people of Tanigakure won't be able to find out, and the murderer can get away with it.

That's also why Wang Bo chose to leave Tanigakure to set a trap instead of staying there all along.

After all, there is only the principle of being a thief for a thousand days, but no one can guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Rather than being passive, it's better to take the initiative and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

After Senju Tsunade left, Wang Bo put away the five hundred thousand ryo, strode out of the restaurant, and headed out of Tanigakure.

Not long after, a few ronin hurriedly chased after him, following the path Wang Bo had taken.

After Wang Bo left Tanigakure, he walked unhurriedly for about half an hour, covering several li, when the ronin finally caught up. Without a word, they surrounded Wang Bo.

The leader, a bearded man, drew his longsword and pointed it at Wang Bo's nose. "Hand over the money obediently, and I'll let you leave. Otherwise, your life ends here."

Wang Bo calmly stepped forward a few paces, closing in on the bearded man.

The bearded man flew into a rage and swung his sword to strike.

Wang Bo had not been in this world long, only a dozen or so days. Although he could mobilize primal power, because this body was not his own but that of Igarashi Chiba,

the primal power he could gather was actually very thin.

But even so, Wang Bo still surpassed ordinary people.

He raised his hand and grabbed, skillfully snatching the longsword from the bearded man. Of course, in the local language, this was not a tachi but a sword!

Wang Bo seized the blade barehanded, gripped the hilt, and lightly swung it.

Whoosh!

A flash of bright sword light flickered and vanished. The bearded man's right arm flew off, spun in the air a few times, and fell to the ground.

The bearded man was dumbfounded.

A few seconds later, he clutched his wound and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

But Wang Bo did not hold back. He stepped forward, brandishing the tachi—or sword, if you will—and struck again and again, sword light blooming and flashing in succession.

In just a few breaths, Wang Bo had chopped off all ten fingers of the ronin.

Without fingers, these guys couldn't even hold a sword. In the future, let alone killing, even eating would be extremely difficult.

But since they had the intention to kill and rob, and acted on it, they must have the courage to bear the consequences. Even if they didn't, it was too late now—who told them to seek unearned gains?

After lightning-fast cutting off their fingers, Wang Bo flicked the blade to shake off the blood, picked up the scabbard from the ground, and sheathed the sword.

This tachi, though not as good as a lightsaber, was well-made; it hadn't even chipped after cutting off several people's fingers.

It would be good for self-defense.

After teaching these men a lesson, Wang Bo picked up the sword, took the money, and returned to Tanigakure.

Initially, he had planned to kill these men and then head to the Bounty Exchange to try his luck.

The Bounty Exchange is an underground organization in the Naruto world, appearing only a few times. It seems like a rather mysterious organization, even more mysterious than the Akatsuki.

But that's only in the eyes of readers.

The reason the Bounty Exchange is mysterious is because it appears so rarely, not because it is inherently mysterious.

In fact, in the eyes of many in this world, the Bounty Exchange is not a mysterious organization at all.

Simply put, the Bounty Exchange is actually an underground intermediary organization.
