Chapter XVIII: Blackmail

Akino Ida didn't want to pay such a big price, he wanted to talk to the bandits, and when that couldn't be done, he would tell Mike Kay to take the mission to B-class.

This approach is naturally the most beneficial to him, but Akino forgot that ninjas are different from ordinary people, and if it weren't for Konoha's reputation, Mike Kay would have turned around and left a long time ago. He was 100 percent sure of the safety of his three students, but he didn't have much confidence in completing the task - with such an employer.

"Since you have your own plans, this mission will end here. As for the fact that you are hiding the mission level, someone will take care of it when we return to Konoha. "Hot-blooded Kai is just nervous, not low IQ, he has long had enough of the fat man in front of him, and he is still thinking about money in this situation.

Kai had already clearly told Akino about the situation, and if he delayed any longer, even if he could defeat the bandit convoy, there would be casualties. But the dead fat man didn't care about anything other than his own life and money.

"You-don't, don't......"

Mike Kay's demeanor was more stern than ever, "We awarded it to specific ninjas according to the mission level, and according to the regulations, we can refuse to carry out the mission if the mission level is concealed." I'll tell you, even if we leave now, it won't have any impact on our reputation. ”

"Wait a minute, Mr. Kai, please wait a minute." When Akino Ida saw that Mike Kay was about to leave, the whole person jumped up like a fried chicken, and fell to the ground in front of him. "Mr. Kai, I really didn't know that there would be samurai eyeing me, it's true, I didn't enter the Land of Rain for safety, and I didn't even go to live in the town of the Land of Wind, it was an accident at all. Mr. Kai, you are a powerful ninja, you can send these guys away in just a few clicks, I implore you not to leave, I will pay the commission according to the regulations, please don't leave, the lives of the entire convoy depend on you, can you bear to watch these innocent people die at the hands of robbers. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the contact in the past half a month has exposed this person's stinginess and greed for money, the fat man kneeling in front of Mike Kay now is likely to make outsiders think that this is a philanthropic rich businessman who cares about his companions and does not care about his own dignity.

"This guy, if it weren't for his own life, how could he do this, hypocrisy! Eh, Sword Shadow, I think there was such a scene in your novel. How did you deal with it? Aoika looked at Akino kneeling in front of Mr. Kai with disdain.

"It depends on what type of novel it is, if the detective reasons, he should be silent and slowly raise the price. After all, it was this fat man who broke the contract first, even if we left, it would be fine, but this fat man couldn't say for sure. So there is a good chance that the commission price will be increased to A-level tasks. Of course, he must hold a grudge, and his own victory and weakness will 'click' him, and those who have the advantage like us don't need to care. ”

Nagata and Aoika's eyes widened, not for anything else, just because the sword shadow was black-hearted to collect money from the other party's A-level mission.

B-level missions indicate that ninjas will be encountered in the mission, and the strength of ninjas ranges from lower to upper ninjas, and because of the danger to the lives of ninjas on missions, most of the people who issue such missions are the villages themselves, or powerful organizations and nobles. Ordinary people don't have a chance to let a shinobi perform a mission, so for ordinary people, B-level missions are already the highest level.

As for A-level tasks, it is impossible for ordinary people to encounter them, because they don't even have the opportunity to post task orders, let alone the expensive commissions. As for any of the forces, Shangnin is an extremely important component, so any of their losses cannot be ignored by the village.

Moreover, no village would offend the Shangnin of other forces for no reason, unless the Shangnin was already a celebrity on the wanted notice and was sure to pose a threat to himself.

Even if you have to deal with an enemy with the strength of the upper ninja, it is impossible to dispatch only one ninja of the corresponding level for safety, and it is precisely for these reasons that the commission of the A-rank mission is so high that ordinary people dare not think of it. In the original book, only the super-rich Cardo, who secretly controls a country, can hire a traitor and never kill him.

Jian Ying remembers very well that even if it is the poorest country in Africa, it is only the country and the people at the bottom who are poor, and the net worth of those in power is absolutely stunned by those who conduct normal business activities, and using power for personal gain is the fastest way to increase wealth.

"Just kidding, no matter how big this guy's back/scene is, it's impossible to get this money." High-level tasks are difficult to measure in money, and the completion of many tasks is related to the overall development of the village and even the country, which cannot be measured in money.

Mike Kay turned his head to look at the three Sword Shadows, he was confident in his strength, but not for the three Sword Shadows, he called the three Sword Shadows over, "You all know the situation, what are you going to do?" Do you want to continue with this task? ”

"What do you think?" Kenkage turned his head and threw the question to Nagata and Aoika, no matter what the outcome was, he wanted to participate in the battle, but Kai-sensei said that the other party had a samurai who was not weak in ninjas, and his choice could not be imposed on his companions.

"I'll do it. Anyway, Mr. Kai is here. Nagata shrugged, he didn't care much about this, he understood the sword shadow's heart, of course he knew that the other party was eager to fight, but there was a girl in the fourth class, if she wasn't here, the result couldn't be clearer, but she was here, and she had to listen to her opinion.

March Aoi Xiang didn't expect that the final decision was in her own hands, she was stunned at first, and then understood what was going on, and her face showed embarrassment. Of course, Aoi knew why this decision was in her hands, because she was the weakest, and in the event of a battle, the only one who might need protection was her, except for her employer and the members of the caravan.

Faced with this situation, Aoixiang's competitive spirit was also stimulated, the hesitation on her face disappeared, and she turned to Mike Kay and said, "Mr. Kai, I can face it." ”

This is the first actual battle, and she puts her requirements very low, and under rational analysis, Aoi Xiang knows her role in the battle.

Without waiting for Mike Kay to speak, Jian Ying slapped his palm, walked up to Akino Ida, and looked at the dead fat man with a happy face on his face, "Mr. Akino, the most basic conditions have been met, so let's discuss the price." He saw that Mike Kay was about to open his mouth to stop him, and immediately said: "Mr. Kai, the best time has been missed by Mr. Akino, no matter what action is taken, how bad can it be?" ”

Mike Kay wanted to stop Sword Shadow's out-of-tune remarks at first, but after hearing this, he glanced at Akino and nodded as acquiescence, as Sword Shadow said, no matter how bad the situation is, nothing will increase, and the time to discuss with Akino Ida has missed everyone's best opportunity, and now he can only fight these robbers.

The image of the sword shadow at this time was that of a demon with horns in Akino's eyes, "Mr. Akino, this mission has caused us a lot of trouble. Originally, we could have just walked away, because it was not something we needed to deal with. It's not ordinary people to deal with, and I don't believe you, a businessman, don't know that. Moving from C-level to B-level tasks, you have to give us something to add to the commission for delivering B-level tasks. ”

…………

"Nagata, Aoika, you two stay in the convoy once the enemy rushes to the team. You, Nagata as the main attacker, should Aoi Xiang make a strategy? "Mike Kay was excited before the fight, but he was very calm when giving orders.

"Yes." Nagata and Aoika answered together.

Kai turned his head to look at Jian Ying in a complicated way, and he realized that he knew too little about this student before, and whether his brain was too flexible.

Akino Ida not only had to make up the commission for B-level tasks, but also had to pay each person in Class 4 a sum equivalent to a C-level mission. This was the equivalent of five four-wheeled carriages, three of which were about to fall into the hands of others, and it was because of this that the dead fat man hid in the carriage where he was resting and drew circles.

"Sword Shadow, you are in charge of the enemies in the back, and I am in charge of the front and on both sides. Remember, you must resolve the battle as soon as possible, and if danger occurs, use a smoke screen to warn you, understand? ”

"Understood."

"Let's get started!"

The figures of Kai and the sword shadow disappeared in an instant, and the rapidly rising flying sand was like an exploding lake.

The currency of the ninja world is unified, and because the economic order has not yet reached the level of Kenkage's previous life, there is no economic crisis. At a time when the productive forces are underdeveloped, grain is the real hard currency.

Take Ichiraku ramen as an example, the most common ones are eggs, meat, and fish plates for less than seven yuan (when Naruto invited Xiao Li to eat ramen, he took out a twenty sheet, and the boss asked him for seven yuan change), and the conditions for removing food as a hard currency in this era are not to be discussed, judging from this alone, one yuan ninja coin is slightly lower than three RMB in terms of purchasing power of basic materials.

Although the bestsellers of Sword Shadow sell well, they still can't compare to the commission of B-level missions, of course, the ninja who performs the mission can only get a part of the commission, and the income of a book that year is more than that of the ninja who performs the mission.

The commission for the C-level task is more than 100,000 yuan, which is 450,000 yuan in RMB, and now not only has this task been increased to the level of more than 1 million yuan, but also everyone in the fourth class of the task has been paid more than 100,000 yuan, which is why Akino Ida went to squat in the small black house.

Originally, the Sword Shadow and the others could only get 40,000 yuan from this transnational mission, and Mike Kay could share half of it alone as a ninja, that is, 20,000, and the other three people each had 6,000, counting the task round-trip time of nearly two months, that is to say, in addition to the basic salary, Mike Kay's income was 10,000 per month, and the three of Sword Shadow were 3,000 per month.

In RMBB calculations, Mike Kay earns less than 30,000 per month, and Sword Shadow and them are more than 8,000. Putting aside the age factor, the senior bodyguard has only been working abroad for 8,000 a month, and he really can't be called a high salary.

Now that I have been tossed by the sword shadow like this, the income of two months has become more than 400,000 in RMB, and the income of more than 200,000 per month is not too beautiful.

Horizontal comparison, Naruto's mission to the country of waves is a bit bitter, although the country of waves is next to the country of fire, but the distance from the village is only half of the mission performed by the sword shadow this time, but because ninety percent of the distance is in the country of fire, the commission for the entire C-level mission is only tens of thousands of yuan, and the saddest thing is that in the end, Naruto can only get more than two thousand in his hand.

is also a mission above the C rank, Sword Shadow got more than 100,000, and Naruto got 2,000; Kenkage is facing a gang of bandits composed of samurai who can use chakra, and Naruto is facing the traitorous ninja Momochi who assassinated the daimyo and is now wanted (this is an existence that even Kakashi almost touched, and the mission level should be more than B-level).

Although Jian Ying's book is well written, the income of a book is only 100,000 yuan a year (after the writing becomes better, the income in the previous four or five years is only tens of thousands of yuan), and I am naturally very happy to be able to get so much in one task.

The art of shadow clones!

The bandit gang was already less than three kilometers away from them, forming an encirclement of the caravan, and the sword shadow was only responsible for dealing with those who came up from behind, and according to their calculations, the number of enemies in the rear should be between fifteen and twenty. It's just that ordinary people don't care about the sword shadow, but if there is a samurai with rich combat experience, he has to be careful.

In the past few years, he has often confronted Nagata, and the magnitude is not small, and after each confrontation, the two of them will be injured, but the confrontation is only a confrontation, since the sword shadow came to this world, the only strong enemy he encountered was the boy brought by Uncle Achina, and the feeling of being crushed by others stayed in his mind even now.

It's not that Sword Shadow didn't propose to Archie that he would meet the boy again, but after five years, there has been no news of the boy. Seeing that Archie didn't respond, Jian Ying felt a pity in his heart, since the boy with that strength didn't appear in the original book, he must have been strangled in the process of growing up.

Even geniuses can die, Kenkage doesn't want his end to be like this, and he doesn't think of himself as a genius, his only advantage is that he knows how to pursue power better than his peers.

After using the shadow clone, the sword shadow became seven, and he didn't have the speed of Itachi, so he held the shuriken in his hand now, and at the same time hid a kunai in each cuff.

The silhouette of a man appeared on the hill ahead, and the battle was about to begin.

Jubei Saki and Fuichiro Asana took their assigned subordinates and advanced according to the established route. Although they rode horses, they did not increase much speed, horses were delicate animals, and although they did not ride horses in the regular army, they were an important tool for their survival in the desert.

They wander between the Land of Wind, the Land of Bears, the Land of Birds, and sometimes even enter the Land of Rain, relying on frequent cross-border cross-border travel to avoid the pursuit of the Sand Ninja. Of course, in addition to flexible mobility, their own strength is also an important guarantee, otherwise how could their gang of bandits, composed of most ordinary people, exist for so long.

Suddenly, Saki Jubei saw a figure suddenly appear on the sand dunes in front of him, "That speed?" It's a ninja. ”

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and as a habitual bandit with a survival period of more than three years, they have their own information channels. The caravan didn't approach any villages or towns, but they still asked them to find out who belonged to the caravan, a miserly merchant of the Land of Bears, Akino Ida.

They found each other as early as the third day of the caravan's entry into the Land of Winds, but in order to find out the details of the other party, they didn't do it until now.

There are Konoha ninjas in the caravan, but according to the stingy character of the merchants, they believe that there will be no strong ninja escort, and the power of the ninjas is mostly focused on protecting the lives of their employers, so that as long as they let a few leaders entangle the ninja, they will have a chance to snatch the goods.

What Saki Shibei never expected was that the other party not only did not guard in place, but killed him.

Kazuichiro Asana was wearing a white kimono with his chest loosely open, one hand stretched out from the kimono and hung on his waist, and a wine bottle hung from his fingertips. The hand holding the reins pulled the rope and stopped advancing, "Are these Konoha ninjas very confident, or have they already observed us, so it's really bold to rush over like this." ”

"Hmm. I don't know if I'm alive or dead! You see an opportunity to attack. Kazeichiro, I'll meet him first. Saki Jubei got off his horse, drew his samurai/sword, walked to the front of the line, and waited for the sword shadow to arrive.
