章節 80: Chasing acquainted scammer

It's been one week since I returned from the Cat Mountian village mission. Yahiko and Nagato are in the hospital right now. According to Karen, Yahiko will take at least a month to heal his injury. While Nagato will have two weeks hospitalized. Konan also needs some time to relax.

Since it was their first-ever S-rank mission despite doing nothing but causing trouble, I gave them one and a half months to rest.

I went to hang out with Gari and others, but it seems they all went out for missions. Gari, Kitsuchi, and Kimiko formed a team and went out for an A-rank mission.

Kan especially became super busy ever since in charge of Explosion kids training. As for Gin and Karen, I didn't want to third wheel them. They should have their private time.

Only Shuji was in the village, resting in the home. I decided to drop by and hang out with him while also showing off my super awesome unbreakable swords and Kiba.

'Maybe I could also ask Aunt Ami to appraise the swords for me as she is the number one expert in the weapon industry in Iwagakure.'

Thinking I headed to Shuji's rich big mansion.

------------------

"Oh my! These are good swords, indeed. Its quality and sharpness are top-notch and also very durable. I am sure not even our factory can make such quality swords. You really are lucky to have them, Genji."

Aunt Ami spoke to me with a full smile while wearing glasses to look carefully at my new swords. She has always treated me as her other son, and I was very grateful for that.

Shuji picked up the swords and test swung them. He was also impressed by them.

"Damn, what's up with your luck? Not only you got top-quality swords, you even got Kiba, one of the seven swords of Kiri?

Hey, why don't you give me one of them? You are not using the all, are you?" Shuji spoke.

"Why do you even need swords when you are not even a sword user? Besides, I already decided to present Kiba to my student when he mastered the Wing Chun arts."

"Tch, so your student over the best friend, huh? You ungrateful bastard." Shuji complained as leaning his hand on my shoulder.

Just then, the maid came in and notified Aunt Ami that her business partner arrived and waiting for her. Aunt Ami excused herself and went out to greet her business partner.

I didn't pay too much attention and kept goofing around with Shuji.

Aunt Ami returned to the room 30 minutes later. It seemed like she took care of her business well. I was curious and asked her.

"How did the meeting go, Aunt Ami?"

"It went very well. The business partner is selling massive war weapons he collected during the war to us at low prices. Although weapons are a bit rusty, with good polish, they will be good as new."

"Oh, weapons he collected during war!? I thought weapons accumulated during wars had to send back to Shinobi Weapon storage, no?" I asked.

"Yes, it is only for shinobi. But after collecting the weapons, he immediately quit being shinobi and turned all of them into his assets.

Although he sold most of the weapons to me, I am sure he still has some of them even now."

"So he is a coward! To resign as shinobi just for money." Shuji said with disdain.

"What's his name, Aunt Ami?"

"Normally, I won't tell others, but who am I going to keep secret from my family? His name is Tonton. He is quite fat but quite agile compared to his size,"

"Tonton? I think I heard it before but can't remember. That name sounds really familiar."

Just then, System's voice rang in my head.

System: "Tonton is the person who scammed the Host into buying vulnerable Kunai during the second ninja war. He immediately ran away to avoid the Host's wrath."

'AHH, so it's that fat pig. Because of that bastard, I was shamed in front of Rasa, Pakura, and even Gari. Hehehehe, nice nice nice. To think I find him here.

Now I am not a man called Genji if I don't find and torture you. Just you wait, I will come and barbecue your damn fat.'

I thanked Aunt Ami and asked for the direction he went. Then I ran out quick to catch him.

"Ara, What's gotten into him?"

"Well, Genji always acts on his whim. It's his usual stuff. Don't worry about him, mom."

"Fufu, I guess you are right."

------------------

I searched for that fat bastard tirelessly. I even created earth clones to search for him. I would definitely catch him and see his begging.

It took almost 20 minutes to finally find that fat bastard. He was leisurely walking while smiling to himself. He seemed to be so happy that he even whistled.

'Yea, bastard. Enjoy all while you can. Because a bit later, your life is going to be as miserable as hell.'

I ordered my clones to capture him. Soon 5 of my clones dashed at him. Fat bastard quickly sensed something and turned around just to see my clones were madly rushing at him with looks of murderers.

He got scared and ran for his life. But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the top-level Jounin as me. Seeing he couldn't outrun me, he did something unexpected and shocked me quite a bit.

He bit off his fingers and performed summoning jutsu in the middle of the street. Then a horse-sized pig appeared. He rode on it and urged it to gallop.

I was mostly shocked by the pig summoning. Never ever have I seen one until now. But I quickly got out of it and summoned Biller.

Biller didn't take a minute to catch up to pig and Tonton and grabbed them with his claws. Then I took them to the deepest corner of the Iwagakure where no one can disturb us.

"What do you want, mister? I haven't done anything to you, have I? I am just a regular law-abiding weapon merchant. If you don't release me, I will...I .. will...."

Tonton stopped talking as he saw my face and realized who he was dealing with. Tonton clearly remembered as he scammed Genji when he was just 12 years old kid.

At that time, he didn't know Genji will become famous and powerful as he is now and dared to scam him without any worry. Now he was going to pay consequences.

"You will do what, huh? You sure have the gut to say that you haven't done anything after scamming me!"

"I am sorry, Genji-sama. But I think you have mistaken with someone. I have never scammed you, sir. Maybe you are mistaking with my twin brother?"

"Shut up! Do you think I will be fooled by you again?" I slapped his thick skin to shut him up.

'This fatass still trying to deny! There is no way system will make mistakes. But does he really have a twin brother or something? If he does, then he is one hell of the mean brother. '

System: "Host, he doesn't. In canon, he has no siblings, only one daughter, and opened weapon store in Konoha."

'Wait, what? Konoha? Weapon store? Daughter? System, don't tell me he is Tenten's dad??'

System: "Yes, he had a late child due to some problems in his manliness."

'So Tenten's dad is Tonton, who was formerly Iwa shinobi?! Then how the fuck did he able to live and even set up a store in Konoha? Did he bribe the entire Yamanaka clan and Anbu or what?'

System: "He had Tsunade's special letter of guarantee and settled in Konoha without any inspection."

'Letter of guarantee of Tsunade? How the heck...'

I paused for a second and finally connected the dot. I remembered he has pig summons, and the current Tsunade still doesn't have her pig pet TonTon yet. I was sure this guy bribed Tsunade along with Tonton(pig) as a present.

'Hehehehe, if that is the case, then...'

"Hey you, get up. I won't kill you for scamming and lying at me. You should be grateful. If I report to the council about your cowardly actions in the war, you will be sent to jail immediately." I kindly spoke to him.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

"But I can't just let you go free either. After all, I was almost got killed because of your damn fragile Kunai that time."

"I will do anything you ask for, Genji-sama. Please just don't report me to the council."

"Haha, alright. Here is what I want you to do. I want you to infiltrate Konoha and open up the weapon store there. You will be acting as my spy there and only report directly to me."

Then Tonton looked at me as he was waiting for me to say it was joking. But I really was planning to make him not Iwa's, but my personal spy.

"Please, Genji-sama. I would rather stay in jail than infiltrate Konoha. Genji-sama should know that staying there is the same as death to Iwa shinobi like us!!"

"Don't worry. I already have a smooth and safe plan to get you to Konoha without any mind rape inspection or suspicion. All you gotta do is to give your little baby pig as a gift and bribe someone. Just follow my every instruction, and you will settle into Konoha without any problem."

"But still..."

"Also, not even Tsuchikage won't know about you. Only me. I am not even going to give you an impossible mission, just a monthly update on Konoha and nothing more.

On top of that, if you raise one of my eagle summonings as a pet, you don't have to worry about stuff like transmitting intel. I will get it automatically through eagles. Literally, you wouldn't face any danger at all."

Tonton still hesitated. It seemed like I had to use a bit of threatening.

"Hey, pig! You seemed to have forgotten about your place. Either totally safe and happy weapon merchant spy life, or you get beaten up by me, send to jail, and wait for your execution! Now choose!"

"Yes, yes, I will become a spy and infiltrate Konoha!!" He hurriedly agreed to be my spy.

"Good. Alright, let's go someplace to eat and celebrate. Just trust my orders, then Konoha won't suspect a thing. I will also give you a monthly allowance of 100k ryo as spy remuneration. Hahaha!"

Tonton was dragged by me forcibly to celebrate his newly attained spy title.

'Why did I scam him in the past? I wish I go back to the past and kick the past me real hard.' Tonton thought.
