"Uchiha Rei, I'll take a look at your mission"

In the Hokage Building, the office in charge of handing over the task, Ryu was waiting intently for his next task. Although Lie is a member of the Konoha Garrison, and his usual scope of work is only to patrol the security of the village, when he is not resting, he will also do some low-level tasks to fill his free time, especially after Ling is gone

"Do you accept the task of escorting the two merchants to the post station in the northern border region, where the companions of the two merchants are waiting for them?"

Bowing his head and scanning the task list carefully, the staff considered Lie's level and identity again, and arranged a very ordinary escort task for him, and the task level was C-level.

If you change to an ordinary ninja, this kind of escort that has not left the country can only be regarded as a D-level mission, and the remuneration is also very meager, but Lie's identity is extraordinary, in addition to his identity as a Uchiha clan guard, he is also a new disciple of the third generation of Konoha Hokage Ape Fei a year ago, and the biological brother of the famous Uchiha Ling in the ninja world!

Uchiha Ling, who graduated from the ninja school at the age of 7 with a writing wheel eye, was promoted to a middle ninja at the age of 8, became a special shinobi at the age of 10, and was upgraded to a shinobi a year later! It is rumored that he cooperated with his writing wheel eye to develop a method that can directly launch ninjutsu without giving up the seal, and was crowned as the first person in the ninja world to cast magic! The strongest genius of the Uchiha clan and other glorious titles! And Lie, as the elder brother of Uchiha Ling, is naturally also a storage zài who has been concerned and cared for by many parties.

"C-level mission" Lie was slightly stunned after hearing this, as a ninja, he naturally knew the rules and systems of mission evaluation levels, and after being slightly stunned, he quickly understood the deeper reason in this.

The C-level mission is because of Ling again

The corners of his mouth overflowed with a smile that seemed to be relieved and bitter, and Lie said to the staff who issued the task: "Thank you very much, I accept this task." ”

"Okay, the client is in the post house, contact them immediately." The staff also smiled, and then began to arrange the personnel and instructions related to the task.

"Thank you."

Lie nodded in thanks, then stepped aside, intently waiting for the client to arrive. After waiting for a long time, two middle-aged men dressed as business travelers had already followed a ninja into the room.

"Excuse me, have we assigned a ninja to the mission?"

As soon as he entered the room, one of them was already a little anxious and walked to the counter and asked, "Our companions are still waiting for us in the border area, and we have to go to the country of Sichuan to buy a batch of goods, so we really don't have time to wait any longer!" ”

"You don't have to be in a hurry, there is absolutely no doubt about the efficiency of our Konoha Village and the success rate of the mission."

The staff explained that they were also full of pride, and the sense of superiority of being a subject of a great country was undisguised, "The ninja escort we have arranged, and it is the middle ninja of the Uchiha clan." ”

The Uchiha clan?!

The merchant was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was a little incredulously surprised, "Is it the Uchiha clan, which is known as the strongest clan in Konoha?" ”

At the end of his speech, the tone of his voice rose significantly, as if he couldn't believe it.

The Uchiha clan is known as Konoha and is even the strongest clan in the ninja world, and their ability to write wheels makes the Fire Nation and Konoha proud enough, and also makes other countries and villages gnash their teeth enough. With excellent insight and the ability to replicate ninjutsu, see through and bounce illusions, the Uchiha clan, who have experienced three ninja wars, have made no one dare to take it lightly with their own appearance!

"That's right, and it's not just that you should be honored."

The merchant's surprise made the staff very useful, and he continued in a good mood: "It's not just the Uchiha clan, he is also a disciple of the third generation Hokage of our Konoha Village, and the elder brother of the Uchiha Ling who became a shinobi at the age of 11! ”

Uchiha Ling?!

The two businessmen were even more shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't help but look at each other, digesting the surprised fact.

It's also true that the existence of ninjas is closely related to the lives of civilians, and any village has a genius who can't be described in all the words that can be touted, after all, this is a big appeal for the people who come to commission the characters.

"It turned out to be that Uchiha Ling"

"Yes! I can't believe it! It is rumored that when he participated in the Shinobi Examination, Konoha conducted the exam publicly, and some viewers even came from thousands of miles away from the Land of Water or the Land to watch! ”

The small exclamations and conversations did not escape the ears of the spirit, and after hearing the words, he only chuckled slightly and did not say anything, because he had experienced enough such exclamations, whether it was within the Uchiha clan or within the Konoha Village, the topic of his younger brother had never stopped, and after the Uchiha Ling became a disciple of the three generations of Hokage, these discussions and exclamations were even worse than before.

"Hehe, I can understand your surprise." The staff looked at the two merchants who were constantly whispering with pride, and then continued: "But now is not the time to discuss this, you can set off after paying the commission, and the ninja escorting you is behind you." ”

As soon as the staff's voice fell, Lie also stepped forward in time to introduce himself: "Hello two, I'm Uchiha Lie, and I'm the ninja who escorted you this time." ”

"Hello, hello!"

"You're going to have to protect you for the rest of the journey!"

The two businessmen didn't seem to come back to their senses in surprise, and they spoke respectfully to Lie.

"You're welcome." Lie shook his head and smiled, he was only 17 years old this year, and he was still a little unbearable to be called by two middle-aged people with such a polite honorific, and this was not the first time he had managed it

"If you're ready, let's go."

"Okay!"

"I'm sorry for you!"

The merchants thanked them again and began to pay commissions, which were not earned until the mission was completed, some of which went to Konoha Village's income, and the rest went into the ninja's own pockets.

While waiting, Flame Shifting looked at an adjoining hall not far from the room, thought for a moment, and walked forward.

That's where the Hokage works.

Knock knock.

"Please come in."

After knocking on the door, after getting permission, Ryu pushed the door in, and saw the third-generation Hokage Sarutobi sitting upright in his seat to handle official business.

"Lie?" Ape Fei was a little surprised when he saw the person coming, but he knew more clearly, could it be again

"Hokage-sama" bowed a little stiffly, and Lie's expression was a little sneering, "About my brother Ling"

"Lie" Before Lie finished speaking, Ape Fei had already interrupted with a sigh, and said helplessly: "You have asked many times, Ling was sent by me to the Temple of Fire to carry out a confidential mission, and he has always had correspondence with the village, besides, as his elder brother, you should know what Cheng Dù power Ling has."

Sarufei's meaning is very straightforward, Ling is not an ordinary ninja can threaten, even as a teacher, Sarufei is not completely sure that he can fight against Ling's writing wheel. Therefore, although Ape Fei understands Lie's love for his younger brother as an elder brother, he still has some headaches Lie's excessive, almost doting feelings.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama! I know it's not good to always be bothering you like this, but Ling has been away from the village for a year, so it's time to complete even the tricky tasks?! ”

"Lie, haven't you read my appointment to Ling well? He went to the Temple of Fire to serve as a guardian ninja, and for Ling, protecting the Temple of Fire is also part of the mission, you don't have to worry about him, I will transfer him back to Konoha when needed. ”

“”

“”

Relatively speechless, Lie knew that it was futile for him to ask after hearing the same explanation from Ape Fei again, but for Ling, who was almost raised by him, Lie, as an elder brother, could not be completely relieved no matter what, even if Ling had a power that he would never be able to reach!

Whether Ling ate on time, whether he injured himself again during his cultivation, how to bandage the wounds that he couldn't handle, whether he was sick, and the details of Ling Yiqiē's life were all questions of Lie's habitual thinking and hard work, because he and Ling had lived like this for more than ten years, and Ling's departure made him unable to adapt and didn't want to adapt!

"Excuse me, we're ready, when will we go?"

In silence, two merchants who had entrusted the task pushed open the door and asked if Yeol could leave. And Lie was slightly silent after hearing the words, smiled helplessly, saluted Ape Fei, and left, leaving Ape Fei with a somewhat complicated look to think about his troubles alone.

"Now that we're ready, let's go."

Closing the door, Lie nodded to the two businessmen, and then took the lead towards the outside of the office building. After not getting a satisfactory answer from Ape Fei again, he also began to think about whether to visit Ling in the Temple of Fire on the way to the mission.

"How can I guess the gate won't let me in?"

The Temple of Fire is a place where the guardian ninja gather, and ninjas are not allowed to enter except for the permission of the Hokage or the Daimyo, and even if Ryu gets there, he can't see Ling without a permission.

"Forget it, what if you think about it so much, you still can't help him with anything as usual?"

With a bitter smile, Lie quickened his pace slightly, and walked towards the Konoha Gate with the two merchants
