Most importantly, business is not easy to do now, and the taxes of bathhouses have all been increased.
It's all because the Fourth Raikage took the initiative to start a war with the Hidden Leaf Village, but ended up losing, and was demanded a large amount of compensation.
This large amount of compensation naturally had part of it paid by the Daimyo's government of the Land of Lightning, and their Hidden Cloud Village also paid part of it.
'There's no choice. This country can't possibly go without ninjas.'
Although he is very angry, he also understands that if there is no protection from ninjas, then the entire country would be overrun by thieves, bandits, and lawless people.
For the entire country and for us commoners, that would be even worse; business would be impossible.
But this extra amount of money naturally ended up being borne by us, the common people.
'Even if we oppose it, there is no way around it. We can only bear this extra expense.'
Ryosuke, upon hearing the boss's words, directly took out 30,000 ryo and placed it on the table.
The boss, seeing so much money, had joy appearing in the corners of his eyes. He went to the shop entrance and hung up a "temporarily closed" sign.
Then personally led Ryosuke and Haku to the changing room, and pointed out the bathhouse room.
Ryosuke, bringing Haku, changed clothes, both of them wrapped in a snow-white towel, and entered the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, they entered the hot spring that was steaming with heat.
Ryosuke immediately felt a strange sensation in his body. He felt much more comfortable.
Wrapped in a white towel, Haku also entered the hot spring and also felt incredibly comfortable in her body.
But in her heart, she was a little unhappy. Ryosuke spent such a large amount of money just to fulfill her wish to bathe together. Back at home, such an amount of money would have lasted a long time. Her parents' income was not this high.
"God King, I've troubled you. Because of me, just to take one bath, you had to spend so much money." She felt a little ashamed.
Ryosuke said with a smile, "Money is meant to be spent."
Besides, this money of his was squeezed out of Hidden Cloud Village, so he didn't feel any pain at all.
Haku saw that God King didn't seem to mind at all. Then the organization must have abundant funds, so there's no need for self-blame.
In the bathhouse, Ryosuke and Haku were enjoying the blessing of the hot spring, and their faces were beginning to turn red.
When their entire bodies were steaming, Ryosuke also helped Haku wash her body.
Haku's face was also red. God King helping her bathe was really a bit too comfortable, just made her feel too embarrassed.
In the following days, the two of them ate, drank, had fun, and bathed near the port of the Land of Lightning, living a very fulfilling life.
And Zabuza also returned wearily.
"God King, in the Cloud and Thunder Unit I didn't find any trace of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee."
"You've worked hard, Zabuza." Ryosuke said.
Since the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee wasn't in the Cloud and Thunder Unit, then there's a high chance he is on Turtle Island.
That's a solitary island on the sea, and actually, it can move. It's an island formed on the back of a giant turtle. That's hard to find. If you blindly search, who knows how long it will take.
"I'll leave the rest to myself. As for Haku, I'll leave her to you to take care of."
At the same time, he took out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket.
"This is 1 million ryo. Take it as funds the organization is giving you."
Ninjas don't produce goods. To get funds, they usually need to complete commission missions. And the time taken to complete missions can be as short as one or two weeks, or as long as a month.
But there's not that much time for Zabuza to go take commissions and slowly earn money. It would take too much time. Otherwise, when you need someone, and they can't be found, that would really be troublesome.
Zabuza looked at the wad of banknotes, and without any hesitation, took it directly. This was all for better completing the organization's mission.
Ryosuke then took out another wad of banknotes and handed it to Haku.
"Haku, this is your pocket money, 100,000 ryo. From now on, if you need ninja tools, food, or clothes, just buy them yourself."
Haku took the money, and her heart was immediately moved. This was simply better than how her own mother treated her. From now on, she must work hard to improve her strength and repay God King's kindness.
Zabuza, who saw this scene from the side, sighed. 'This kid from the Hidden Mist Village is really too lucky.'
He had communicated with Haku before and knew she was also from the Land of Water.
He felt even more sympathy for her. If the Fourth Mizukage hadn't been controlled, causing chaos in the Hidden Mist Village and the entire Land of Water, maybe this kid wouldn't have had such a tragic past.
But her future life should be covered with luck.
After explaining these matters, Ryosuke immediately left the port and headed to Hidden Cloud Village in the center of the Land of Lightning.
By asking for directions, he arrived at the outer area of Hidden Cloud Village.
Looking at his current black-clothed, white-mask attire, he felt a little troubled. If he went in like this, he would definitely be regarded as a suspicious person.
At that time, it would probably cause a disturbance. That would not be convenient for acting.
Of course, if he showed his real face, that would definitely cause an uproar right away, even without him doing anything.
After all, back when Leaf Village fought Hidden Cloud, he had beaten up all the elite ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village. It must have left a deep impression on them.
Suddenly, he thought of something. Then of course, the Transformation Jutsu.
Although this is just a basic ninjutsu, it's very useful for infiltration. Back in ninja school, he was not at the bottom of the class, and he used this Transformation Jutsu very skillfully.
Just right to use for entering Hidden Mist Village.
He immediately formed hand signs with both hands, and a burst of smoke surrounded him. He directly transformed into a man wearing Land of Lightning clothes.
Before coming, he had already observed a lot of citizens' clothing in the Land of Lightning, so the transformation was naturally easy for him.
Looking at Hidden Cloud Village built high on cloud-covered mountains in the distance, many people came here to issue commissions, so he didn't need to worry about special situations, as long as he didn't cause trouble.
All the way, he used his strong perception ability to sense the surroundings.
According to the scent of Samui he remembered, he quickly found Samui's residence.
This kind of aura could not be mistaken. Samui was indeed here.
It was a two-story building. He remembered this location. He would return when night fell.
