Chapter 168: The Task of Protecting Aster
Naruto Naruto is not interested in "Princess Fengyun's Adventure", which is not worth mentioning except for the heroine's good looks.
He picked up the remote control and turned down the volume on the TV and asked, "What did you say about the Hokage entrusting you to release me a secret mission?" Since it's a secret mission, how can you let an outsider handle it? ”
Shion took out a folded mission letter from his pocket and handed it to Naruto Bokaze, "Because this secret mission is to protect me." Moreover, Hokage-sama said that this mission meets the needs of you who want to leave Konoha Village to hide from strong enemies. You can hide your identity and protect me secretly. This task is known only to the three of us. ”
Naruto took the mission and said, "You have an amulet, right?" Still need protection? ”
"Of course you do. There are some ninjutsu that few people know about that are hard to prevent, and amulets may not work. ”
Naruto looked at the power of attorney, and he didn't pay attention to the mission honorarium. The gratuity means that he doesn't expect to earn a gratuity for completing tasks in a proper manner. What's more, he stored tens of millions of taels in the scroll last night.
What he cares about is the duration of protection until the dragon is destroyed, and if the dragon is not born, it will last for three years.
The protection task on an annual basis is no longer just a task that the client can issue if he has money, but also the importance of status. Such tasks tend to be of greater political significance.
Because the long-term protection mission means that the ninja village lacks a ninja combat power for a long time, especially the combat power of the upper ninja level, it is even more cautious. Ninja Village has been vacant for a long time, and it's okay to have a dozen or so ninjas, but there will be problems with dozens of them.
With the status of Aster, this task is not exaggerated. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire also has the Guardian Ninja Twelve.
"When you fall asleep, someone will send you a pillow. Although I didn't ask you to entrust me by name, the task you posted was exactly what I needed, and it was a solution to my urgent need. Thank you. ”
It was not difficult for Naruto to think that it was a task entrusted by Shion. The long-term meal ticket he fancies is at most in months, but the time of the mission released by Shion can transition to the beginning of the Shippuden plot.
The only trouble is the dragon, and it will be OK to pull Naruto Uzumaki in the future.
Ziyuan's eyes were a little wandering: "It's good if you like it." ”
What Naruto didn't know was that Sarutobi learned that Naruto was harassing the VIPs, and Shion helped seal Zero Tail. He personally visited Aster to apologize and thank you. He also politely said that he didn't know how to repay Aster's kindness, and would try his best to meet Aster's needs.
Shion was not polite, and immediately took advantage of the situation and asked Naruto Uzumaki and Naruto to protect her.
Ape Fei Ri slash politely refused. Because the neighboring land of the country of ghosts is suspected of being the birthplace of the Akatsuki organization. It is already a well-known thing that the Akatsuki organization covets tailed beasts, and the existence of the Nine-Tails is relatively easy to find by perceptual ninjas. So he didn't feel at ease no matter what, putting Naruto Uzumaki under the nose of Akatsuki, it was a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Shion listened to his explanation and retreated and offered to let Naruto Naruto protect her.
This time, Ape Fei Sun Slash did not refuse. But he also offered to exchange the Konoha Shinobi who protected Shion back, and asked her to keep it secret, he remembered that the mask man who was suspected of being Madara Uchiha in the Xiao organization was very obsessed with wanting to kill Naruto Naruto.
Naruto asked, "If the three years expire, can I renew the contract for another year or two?" I'm saying that you send a mission to Konoha Village and assign me to protect you. ”
It's not enough to transition to the beginning of the Shippuden plot, and then it's the main event, and it takes more time to move freely.
Shion lamented, "I want to too, but Hokage-sama's agreement to a three-year period is already the limit. ”
She wanted to slowly cultivate her relationship for more than ten years, but she could only fight for three years.
Because Sarutobi felt that three years later, it was the time to employ people, and Naruto Bofeng needed to return to Konoha Village to serve.
Sarutobi uses the growth of a super genius as a reference criterion to evaluate Naruto's strength after three years, and he may not be afraid of Xiao's assassination. Naruto can still be used as a shinobi to protect Shion now, and it will be overkill to keep being a bodyguard after becoming stronger in the future, and it will be a waste of combat power.
These three years were not so much for Naruto to protect Shion as it was for him to grow.
Naruto Bokaze thought for a moment, and after making sure that the country of demons was one of the countries where he had not sent a letter, he said, "Shion, you will tell me the detailed home address where you can receive the letter, and I will send you a letter at the post office later." Then, let your entourage go back early. When you want to go back to the shrine maiden village, just tell me. ”
If you can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to hurry, you will never have to run, it is too wasteful of time.
"Oni no Kuni Shrine Village, the shrine maiden Shion can be accepted," Shion joked tentatively, "What can't you say to your face and have to send a letter?" Isn't that embarrassing? Could it be a love letter of confession? I can think about it. ”
Naruto Bofeng is not a gentleman, but he will not be rude to girls, but he just said lightly: "Brother Yanen." ”
Shion looked dazed, puzzled.
Naruto changed the subject: "Seriously, you're the titular ruler of the Oni Country, right?" So do you manage domestic affairs like a daimyo? Based on your answers, I can discuss with you how to protect you. ”
Shion sighed, "You also know that I am the ruler in name, but in fact, I can't control anything. I don't even have anything to do with the one-acre and three-point land in the witch village, let alone the entire ghost country. ”
Shion has no desire for power, and never asks about the affairs of the shrine maiden village. Aster's subordinates spontaneously serve her, and they never bother Aster to deal with mundane things, and they don't think there's anything wrong with this.
So intentionally or unintentionally, Shion's power in the country of ghosts was hollowed out.
Naruto was about to discuss with Shion about how to protect her, but when he saw that Hinata Hanabi had also finished washing and came out, he gave up. Fold the task power of attorney casually and put it away.
Hinata Hanako looked at the two suspiciously: "Staring~"
For the task of protecting Shion, Naruto Wave Wind could not and had no reason to refuse. It's just that you have to keep it in mind and not be as perfunctory as it is to protect other targets.
In order to ensure that the task of protecting Aster and his own free movement were not delayed, he already had a general idea. There is more than one, and it can be done both.
If Aster doesn't have to worry about anything and has nothing to do, he can take Aster with him to protect him while he is out on the waves. I'm just worried that Aster is pampered and can't endure the pain of wandering the world.
Again, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
As long as the aster becomes very strong, so strong that it doesn't need his protection, isn't it? In Naruto's opinion, the powerful power in Shion's body is already a pass to become a strong person, and it is up to someone to guide her to exert this power.
He didn't know if Shion's power could be compatible with ninjutsu, but it should be no problem to learn physical arts, or the energy could be released to level A enemies.
As everyone knows, Ziyuan is not a weak girl in the plot, and she has killed enemies with bad intentions.
Or do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing, and turn the shrine maiden village into a ninja village.
Naruto Naruto believes that the country of ghosts does not have such a military force as the Ninja Village, and the Shrine Maiden Village will be slaughtered by a few of the horsemen and ninjas of the Dragons in the plot. The armed forces of hundreds of people have no ninjas, and can only be hanged.
If the shrine maiden village becomes a ninja village, even if it is a small ninja village, it will not be allowed to be presumptuous by a few ninjas.
With the Ninja Village taking his place in the task of protecting Shion, he can take a break from his own business.
He also has his own manuscript on how to quickly establish a small ninja village.
The five major powers of this world are the five rogue states that affect the world situation, and the Five Shadows talks in the five ninja villages are similar to the Joint Council.
However, because of the Naruto and Uchiha clans, the world situation will evolve from the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons to the Warring States Seven Heroes in the future.
