Chapter 206: Looking Northwest
Seeing Ning Ci's departure, Qingyang didn't choose to say goodbye like this, but walked to Xiao Li, who was there to memorize the little notebook, and Tian Tian, who was packing up the blades. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's rare, why are you so serious about sorting out your forbearance today. β
Qingyang first talked to Tian Tian, who was relatively familiar with him. Unlike in the past, today's Tiantian cherishes the ninja equipment he sent out, carefully collects each kunai, and after a series of maintenance and polishing, it is being re-preserved in the scroll.
Hearing Qingyang ask Tiantian like this, he was also very helpless, and said helplessly while busy with the things in hand.
"What can I do, now there are fewer and fewer refined iron in the village, and the price is rising again and again, and I can't waste it anymore, and I can reuse it if I can." β
"That's right, it turns out that your family's business has also been affected. β
"Oh, no!"
Qingyang now has a deeper understanding of the shortage of resources in the village, and understands that he must solve this problem in the shortest possible time. Fortunately, there is still a shortage of some special resources in the village, and there are no major problems with basic living materials. If we really wait for the food crisis to appear, it will be too late to say anything if it causes panic among the public.
"Senior Qingyang, do you think I can go on a mission with you?! I don't want to lose to Ning Ci, I performed better than Ning Ci when I did the mission!"
At this time, Xiao Li, who had already closed the notebook in his hand, also ran over excitedly, and recommended himself to Qingyang with enthusiasm. Qingyang responded to Xiao Li with a smile while releasing kindness to him.
"Thank you for your enthusiasm, I naturally know your toughness, don't forget that I also served as your examiner when I was in the middle ninja exam, and your performance impressed me. β
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief.
"Yes, you were our examiner, but I still lost to my Arro at that time. β
Qingyang noticed that Xiao Li had a very calm expression on his face when he said that he had lost to me Airo, and it was obvious that he had already stepped out of the shadows now. Come to think of it, how could a hot-blooded ninja with big dreams be depressed forever. Thinking of this, Qingyang stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder.
"Work hard, you still have a long way to go in the future, I believe you can all achieve your dreams in the end, but before that, I don't know if you are interested in joining our Shinobi Department in the future and working with us. β
It can be said that he is a poor dagger, and said that here Qingyang finally exposed his purpose, that is, to recruit these outstanding shinobi in the third class to his name before they grow up. For the success of the recruitment of these people, Qingyang is still a little confident, except for Ning Ci, who was born in the Hyuga family, Xiao Li and Tian Tian are not from a big noble, Xiao Li is a pure commoner, and Tian Tian's family is more advantageous, and it is a family of forbearance merchants, but that's all. Even their teacher, Maitkai himself, was of civilian origin, and would not put too much pressure on their future.
"Huh?"
Xiao Li and Tian Tian were stunned, they didn't expect that Qingyang would suddenly have such a big change in conversation and say such things to the two of them. However, Qingyang was not in a hurry for them to give him an answer, sometimes it was not beautiful if he was too forced, and gently patted the two of them on the shoulder to show his expectations and importance to them, Qingyang and Akai finally said hello and disappeared in place.
"Senpai is such an amazing character. β
The two of them looked at the place where Qingyang disappeared with reverence, and for a while their whole body seemed to be endowed with strength, and at the same time, they also had a trace of fantasy about their future.

"Things are almost settled?"
When I returned to the Ninja Department, the first thing I encountered was Eko. Seeing Qingyang coming back, Eko couldn't help but ask how he arranged things.
"Not yet, just confirmed two, if you count Yakumo, it's three, and there is one place left. β
Hearing Qingyang say this, Eko couldn't help but urge.
"Then you're going to have to hurry, before seven o'clock in the evening, I'll have to hand over the detailed personnel details to the Hokage House and coordinate with the various departments. β
Haruyo's four deputies in the Ninja Department have their own responsibilities, and Eko is a woman, with a good personality and a thoughtful mind, so she is in charge of coordinating the work between the Ninja Department and all the other departments in the village. Of course, in addition to these, she still has a lot of training work, which is why none of the four deputies who went to Wang Zhiguo Qingyang could be distinguished.
"Alas, we agreed that I would take four people with me this time, and they would serve as deputy staff officers, perception and reconnaissance, special attack and interrogation, and communication and intelligence. Nothing else is fine, there are too few ninjas who are good at communication, and this is a scarce and precious talent in that department, how can it be possible. β
Speaking of this, Qingyang shook his head helplessly.
"Lord Qingyang, I think I can take on this position and carry out the mission with you. β
At this moment, a relatively short figure flashed behind Eko, who was none other than Haruyo's nominal confidential secretary, Saii.
"You?"
Both Haruyo and Eko looked at Sakai with some surprise. It's no wonder that the two of them reacted like this, because in their opinion, they really don't know what is so good about Sakai. From when the Ministry of Ninja was still in the preparation stage, Sakai was sent by Danzo to Qingyang's side, but it was precisely because of this that everyone was on guard against him. This kind of defense has reached the point where Eko will cast illusions on Saii before every important meeting, and Harumi will also use the Wild Horse Magic to prevent him from breaking free from the illusion. In such a strict defense, Sakai naturally can't show any ability, and it can even be said that if he goes too far, he may be killed!
But today Sakai finally decided to fight, he wanted to show in front of Qingyang, the province is not even a little free like now, and he is always on guard.
"Yes, my lord, I was trained in a very comprehensive mission when I was rooted, including all kinds of assassination, poison detection, disguise, and first aid. I can say that I am well suited to survive in a chaotic and dangerous environmentγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Sakai said a lot of words, and Qingyang became interested because Sakai took the initiative to say so many things for the first time.
"It's going to be a lot, and then what?"
Sakai suddenly showed his trademark hypocritical smile.
"My best ninjutsu is, of course, maneuvering and communication. β
After saying that, Sakai took out the scroll from his body. Seeing Sakai's movements, Eko subconsciously wanted to make a seal, and Qingyang stood aside and motioned for Eko to be calm and not impatient, and take a look first.
I saw Sakai half-kneeling in front of the two of them, opened the scroll, and drew a pen from the wooden scroll, and drew on the scroll.
"Huh?"
Seeing Sakai's movements, Qingyang raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
Soon, Sakai's painting is complete, and what appears on the scroll is a lifelike little mouse. Looking at his drawing, Sakai nodded in satisfaction, and then began to seal his hand.
"Ninja Method: Super Beast Pseudo-Painting !!"
After this ninjutsu was completed, I saw that the mouse on the scroll began to move, turning into a three-dimensional mouse, and it seemed very flexible to run back and forth on the ground. After a while, Sakai saw that the mouse was almost done, and took out another scroll from his ninja bag, and when it was unfolded, it was blank and had no contents. When the mouse saw the blank scroll, he ran up and finally reverted to a painting. However, after doing all this, Sakai did not end his actions, but sealed again.
"Da!"
With a soft sound, the mouse turned into a few lines of words, which were familiar to everyone and could be seen every day when they entered and exited the hall of the Department of Patience.
"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as encroaching as fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a cloud, and as moving as thunder. β
"Pap~Pap~Pap~"
Qingyang clapped his hands and applauded Sakai.
"Give a good ninjutsu, it turns out that I always thought that only Menyan could master such a technique, and now it seems that you are also proficient. It's really a good way to communicate information, and in that case, that's you, as my fourth retinue. β
"Sunny sun..."
Eko was shocked at first when she heard Qingyang say this. Recently, the attitude between the Ninja Department and Danzang is not clear, and it is difficult to bring Danzang's cronies with him at such a juncture. She was about to say something when she was interrupted by Qingyang laughing. In comparison, he thought it was more reassuring to take Sakai with him, after all, he didn't know what would happen if he was left like this.
"Alright, Sakai. You can go on a mission with me this time, and we will meet at the main gate of the village at eight o'clock in the evening, and you have less than six hours to prepare, so go and report to Lord Tuanzang." β
After Sakai was ordered to leave, Eko complained that Haruyo had decided to be too hasty, but it had to be like this. On the contrary, Qingyang didn't pay attention to it at all, but walked out of the forbearance department, standing on the Hokage Mountain, looking out in the northwest direction.
"Northwest, how deep is your water? β
