"Huh? Tons and tons, it seems that they are all ghosts? Don't you Konoha have a more decent ninja? Especially that hairy guy, you escaped from the circus? ”

When the old man with glasses pushed the door in, he took a big sip of wine and then spoke to the three members of the eighth class.

However, the moment he saw him, Yuxing felt relieved, because it was an old man with dark red hair and green clothes, not the bad old man he imagined.

"Hairy? Hahaha, there are people with faces other than me...... Hey stinky old man! Do you want to fight! ”

After Tooth laughed three times, he realized that the person who escaped from the circus that the old man was referring to should be, like, it was, it should be himself, so he immediately blew up.

"Well, this is Mr. Noria, the commissioner of this C-Class conservation mission, a fisherman who hopes to catch a rare fish on the southern coast of the Fire Nation under our protection. ”

While Shino was holding down the teeth that were almost crazy, Sarutobi hurriedly introduced the client of this mission to the eighth class before the client was killed by his own people.

Stubborn, arrogant, and relying on the old to sell the old, this old man named Dian Ming wears clothes that are deliberately a little messy, and puts on an impatient attitude, just like an ordinary old man everywhere.

However, after observing it for a few seconds, he found that it was not as bad on the inside as it appeared on the outside.

Although the clothes he wore were heavy work, his back was straight, his standing posture was very standardized, his fingernails were clean without a trace of dirt, and although his hair was messy, he looked like he had been well groomed before......

Is it a disguise? He tried to disguise himself as a sloppy ordinary fisherman, but in fact he was an old man with a high level of cultivation, but the purpose of this disguise?

"Hmph, forget it, in short, until I find the legendary "Golden Pufferfish", you have to protect me desperately. ”

After biting his teeth, Dian Ming's eyes swept over the members of Class 8 one by one, his gaze was very serious and profound, as if there was a whole sea hidden inside.

"Don't worry, this mission is accompanied by me, and nothing will happen."

When they found that this client didn't seem to be so easy to fool, the leader of the eighth class was shinobi, and Sunset Red hurriedly stood up and expressed their firm determination.

"Okay, then the departure time is tomorrow morning, this trip will last about a week, everyone get ready."

As he left the Hokage's office, Sunset Red explained to the three students what to carry on such a long-distance mission, and then left.

The southernmost part of the "Land of Fire"? Is it close to the "Land of Vortex" and "Land of Tea"? It seems to be a remote place near the sea, right?

When Goyuki returned to the Hyuga Clan's mansion, he quickly found the world map and began to study it carefully.

"Fire Country" is not the same as Konoha Village, or to put it bluntly, Konoha Village is just a city in the vast land of Fire Country, and it is the Fire Daimyo who usually lives in the "Daimyo City" that really rules the entire country.

Although the area is not the widest, the geographical location of the "Land of Fire" is the best, with mountains and mountains, plains and plains, and seas.

The coastline of the Land of Fire is concentrated in the south and east, and the coastline in the east is where the "Land of Waves" is located, and the coastline in the south is adjacent to the "Land of Vortex" and "Land of Tea".

This time, the place that Mr. Dian Ming asked us to take him to was at the corner of the longest southern coastline? It doesn't seem like there's anything special there except for a small fishing village, right?

After looking at the map, Yu Xing couldn't help frowning, the old gentleman said that he was going to let them take it to catch some "golden pufferfish", but in fact he was not a fisherman at all, right? What is the purpose of going there?

Forget it, it seems to be a little more fun that way. Originally, Yuxing was the kind of daring, so when he found out the problem in this mission, he didn't mention it to others, but just set out on a journey to the sea for no reason.

However, Yuxing never imagined that his rash attack would involve himself and the entire eighth class in a dispute that would last for several years......

Just as the eighth class was preparing for departure, in another city at night, the "Daimyo Castle", in the master bedroom of the Daimyo's Mansion in the center of the city, there was an old man who looked a little feminine and was sitting at a huge desk in a spacious nightgown.

With a calm face, he raised his glass, which was trimmed with gold rim, and elegantly drank the famous sake "Kikuhime Kikurien Ginjo", which was worth a thousand gold in his hand, and his demeanor seemed to be very relaxed and freehand, and his gestures exuded the majesty of the superior.

But don't look at this old man's helplessness, in fact, he is one of the most powerful people in the entire "Fire Country".

"The Daimyo of Fire - Hashiba Hidemitsu", this is the name of this old man, in other words, the entire "Fire Country" is actually his territory, including Konoha Village.

Unlike the Hokage, who is specifically responsible for carrying out missions or wars, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation usually deals with international diplomacy, internal management, business operations, economic coordination and other affairs, that is, the Hokage is mainly responsible for war, and the Daimyo is mainly responsible for internal affairs.

Of course, nominally the Hokage also belonged to the Daimyo's subordinates, and the Daimyo even had an important say in the selection of the Hokage, and the "surface" seemed to be extremely noble.

But to be honest, in this chaotic ninja world, the Hokage's popularity and authority are undoubtedly many times higher than that of the Daimyo, and the Hokage has all the armed forces of the "Konoha Village" and his own great strength as a bargaining chip......

"Lord Hidemitsu, the spies over there have sent a piece of information that a team is planning to set off towards the beach on the south coast, and the client seems to be from the fishing village on the south coast."

"What?"

When the dark shadow that suddenly appeared from outside the window reported the accident, Xiuguang's well-groomed brow couldn't help but wrinkle.

"Do you know what mission the villagers of that fishing village are asking for Konoha to do? What is the lead configuration? ”

"It seems to be a C-level protection mission, but I'm not sure if it's related to the "Akabane Zhong Base" we set up near the fishing village, and the leader of the team is the sunset red with the registration number 010881, and the other three are all shinobi who just graduated this year. ”

C-level mission, the team that just graduated this year..... Except for the upper ninja, the other three should be waste, and sending the "Akabane Crowd" to go should be able to deal with it, and there is no need to ask for someone from the group for the time being.

After thinking for a while, Hidemitsu instructed the black shadow who was dedicated to transmitting information: "Let the "Akabane People" do it, just kill that villager, and the Konoha ninja can let them live." ”

"Yes!"

With an answer, the dark figure disappeared from the window of the room in an instant, as if he had never appeared.

Konoha Ninja...... Hmph, thank me, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to get the attention of that guy in the day, I would have to leave your bones gone.

Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, the daimyo of the Fire Country, Yushiba Hidemitsu showed a grim look.

He didn't think that the ordinary Konoha team could be the opponent of the "Red Feather Crowd", you know, this is a team composed of members who have received special training, and several captains are even from the special organization of "Roots", so the combat power is naturally extraordinary, so Xiuguang deliberately said that he wanted to spare their lives.

But as the sun rises again tomorrow, the daimyo of the Fire Nation will become the thick, gentle, and even cowardly elder in the eyes of the common people, and no one knows that he has such a face in secret......

In the early morning of the next day, a group of four people with backpacks left Konoha Village with the client of this mission, Mr. Noria.

Although it had only been a month or two since he last returned to Konoha, when he walked on the wide avenue outside Konoha Village again, Goyuki felt a sense of refreshment that he had not felt for a long time.

Anyway, he still prefers the forests and plains in the wilderness to the orderly buildings in Konoha Village...... and exciting battles.
