Chapter 426: Chapter 118
The further text confirmed this hunch, as in extremely sparse lines, the ruler of Kumo thanked me for the services of his shinobi and sent me a small thank-you note along with the message. Underneath the text at the end of the scroll was indeed a storage seal. Shrugging, I put my fingers to it and applied chakra, unsealing the contents.
I could hardly expect a trap - official messages don't do that, especially not from the Raikage himself. Inside were a couple of scrolls of raiton techniques (useless to the average iryo-nin, but that was to be expected) and a thick Kumogakure search book with a wrapped page. Unfolding it, I stared at my own image without the cloak and the basic characteristics known to the delegation from Lightning. But what caught my eye most was the lowest line on the page: two million ryo for dead or alive.
The assigned price per head made me whistle - it was far more than my first reward from Iwa and closer to serious A-rang shinobi than before. Ha, a dubious reward in the Raikage's opinion, and a wanted list to boot. How predictable. But even this recognition means that I'm starting to become known among the bigwigs of the shinobi world in countries other than just Ho no Kuni! This is something I need to show off right away!
- Ma, look what they sent me!

- Ryo.
- М?
- The Head has given me my first assignment.
- An assignment? - I turned my head to the girl at my side after a hot night in Kanade and opened my eyes. - What do you want me to do?
- Iyaku Fuin at a discounted price for clan members," Hyuga said and yawned gracefully, covering her mouth with the palm of her hand.
The way her breasts, now as naked as their owner, jiggled at the same time was very seductive, and sliding against my side made me lose the thread of the conversation for a moment.
- How much does he expect? - I was still able to concentrate.
- At the very least - ten percent, and so - as much as I'll be able to "persuade" you, - the last word the girl said a little sarcastically and with a huff, clearly showing what it meant.
- I smirked and moved my left hand from the girl's waist to the inside of her left leg, squeezing the firm buttock with pleasure.
Not holding back, Hyuga snorted derisively, showing her attitude towards this fact. She'd gotten into my bed under the threat of the cursed seal on her forehead, but I'd done everything in my power to make sure Sensei didn't regret it, and now we were like good lovers, unencumbered by obligations.
She already had to endure a lot of unpleasant moments from some colleagues and acquaintances. Knowledge of the seal that is placed on members of the Hyuga sideline is not widespread, even among the village's armed forces, so Kanade's actions look a little different to everyone around her, and even the fact that she ended up in my bed after graduation doesn't change anything.
The fact remains that Kanade took advantage of her mentor's position to get her hands on a figure that is a favorite of most clans, and now the Hyugas have some influence over me. And the groupies who were chasing me got another target for hatred besides Keiko.
