Regarding this mission, Tatsuma's enthusiasm is still very high, and he is not irritated by the need to travel as soon as he joins the company.

After all, this trip was to ask the Daimyo of the Fire Country for money, and now Konoha can't pay his salary, so he can only ask Party A to collect money, and Tatsuma is also a member of the arrears of wages.

Ninja is obviously a high-paying profession, but Tatsuma is shy most of the time, and in the early stage, it is because he does not accept tasks very often.

When I brought it, it was also based on cultivation, and the task was only the acceptance of the phased learning results, and then I was busy and no longer led the team, and Chenma had no chance to go out of the task.

Then the war broke out, and all the resources of the village were poured into the war, not only Tatsuma and Mizumon had no income, but almost all the ninjas who participated in the war had their income suspended.

It is impossible to record the number of approved mission completions on the battlefield, after all, there are too many participants, and once it is distributed in real time, there will not be a small number of people who need to coordinate the operation.

In addition, the various large-scale transactions for the purchase of war materials have long since exhausted the village's savings, and the appropriations from the daimyo's side are also used for the war and cannot be misappropriated at will.

At this time, the war is over, and the war funds allocated by the daimyo can be converted into a reward for the ninja who participated in the war, but this money is far from enough.

In addition, the money will be given priority to the families of the fallen ninja as a pension, followed by a subsidy for the seriously injured who cannot recover their original strength, or even cannot continue to be a ninja.

This was followed by the settlement of arrears for the purchase of war resources, then the expenditure on medical care, education, post-war counseling, health care, etc., and finally, the time for the surviving ninjas to receive their honorarium.

The only money left in the village is enough to pay pensions and injury allowances, and the rest of the money needs to be claimed from the daimyo.

Of course, it is not very difficult for Konoha to ask the Daimyo of the Fire Nation for this money, after all, Konoha won the battle, and it was a big victory.

Coupled with Konoha's effective control, the war did not spread to the interior of the Fire Country, and it was indeed a diplomatic disadvantage to set up the battlefield on the territory of other countries.

But within the Fire Nation, it's a "good thing" because it saves a lot of money for reconstruction, subsidies, and in a way, it helps the Fire Nation save money.

In today's correspondence between Sarutobi and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is very satisfied with the various measures of Sarutobi and Konoha in this war.

This time, I went to the Daimyo's Mansion to ask for funding, in fact, there is another meaning, that is, to report the results of the battle in person.

Tatsuma wasn't sure if it was the Daimyo's idea or Sarutobi's wishes, but either way, it wouldn't affect the distribution of the money, and if the report in person would satisfy the Daimyo, maybe he would make a large amount of money with a wave of his hand.

Naturally, Sarutobi did not go to the Daimyo's Mansion after Tatsuma joined the company, but this kind of important contact and meeting event would have taken time to prepare.

It can only be said that it is a coincidence, if Tatsuma does not receive all the training and pass the assessment so quickly, even if it is two days at night, he will not need to travel.

Back home, Tatsuma and Uzumaki Mito told him that he needed to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, after all, he had told Uzumaki Mito before that he would stay in Konoha, but it didn't take long for him to leave again, so he still needed to be informed.

Although Uzumaki Mito is not Tatsuma's parents or blood relatives, but Uzumaki Mito's love and care for him, Tatsuma also sees it in his eyes, and naturally treats Uzumaki Mito's grandmother with the attitude of treating his in-laws and elders.

Uzumaki Mito was not an unreasonable person, so he only asked for a few words and stopped asking for details.

The next day, in the Hokage's office, watching Tatsuma skillfully seal the scrolls of recorded documents into the scrolls, Sarutobi Hizashi also said with a smile:

"It's a pity that Shuo Mao's talent in seals is average, and he needs to prepare a lot of things for every trip, and now that you're here, we can travel lightly."

"I'm just a little bit long, and there are still so many things I need to learn from Lord Shuomao in order to share your worries like him."

Tatsuma still remained modest, and when Sarutobi heard Tatsuma mention Qimu Shuomao, he also smiled and shook his head, Qimu Shuomao was indeed stronger than Chenma in many ways.

But Tatsuma is also stronger than Shuo Mao in too many aspects, and there is no problem with Shuo Mao's strength, but he is still too weak in administration, he is a sharp knife, not a good assistant.

Tatsuma checked all the things he was going to carry, then looked at Sarutobi and said, "Hokage-sama, everything is ready, when do you want to leave?" ”

"For now, wait for dawn, my trip will inevitably attract some attention, and it will not be good if it is over-interpreted by someone with a heart."

Sarutobi took a puff of the cigarette from his pipe, then poured the tobacco that was still burning slightly from the pipe onto the ashtray, got up and picked up the hat that represented the Hokage and put it on.

Tatsuma nodded, put the scroll behind him, put the mask back on his side, and picked up the beige trench coat that Sarutobi had brought to the Hokage's office, and the two of them walked out of the Hokage's office.

In an instant, four figures appeared in the corridor, one of them was wearing a beige cloak similar to the one in Chenma's hand, wearing an ape mask with blue stripes and a red nose, his code name was Xiao, one of the squad leaders of the dark department.

And the dark parts of the three black trench coats beside him are his class members.

The number of the dark department is very small, there are only about seventy formal members, four detachments, and sixteen squads, but this number is not stuck, such as Chenma, who does not belong to any of the sixteen classes.

And out of the sixteen classes, there are four classes that are full members of the roots, or full members of the roots, and of course, these are full members.

The root has its own talent training base, and it also has its own talent pool, and the same is true for the dark department, inside and outside the village, there are many supernumerary personnel in the dark department or the root, or personnel to be activated.

For example, when the group hid in the war, a large number of informal root personnel were activated, and those people also had the same rights as the dark ninjas when they acted.

And many members of the Dark Side will be allowed to cultivate their own Dark Lines, and these Dark Lines don't know that their leader is a Dark Ninja, or even if it's a Konoha Ninja.

This is the process of cultivating the Dark Line, and at the same time, it is also the process of investigating some ninjas who are easy to be rebelled against for the village, and even after the Dark Ninja retires from the Dark Ministry, the Dark Line will not be taken back.

Perhaps the village will ask for a backup of contact information and a way to give orders, but retired Shadow Ninjas, if necessary, are also allowed to dispatch their own Dark Lines.

It is precisely because of the privileges and rules of action of the dark department that a team of less than 100 people has the energy to monitor and clean up the village and even the key threats inside and outside the fire.

And Tatsuma's original authority was just an ordinary member of the dark department, but today Ape Feiri gave him a beige cloak, which is considered an unwritten promotion for him.

Of course, maybe it's just in the course of this mission, after all, as the Hokage's guard, he needs to have the right to dispatch the shadows who were also sent to protect the Hokage, and it is obviously not appropriate to order a squad leader as an ordinary member.

After Tatsuma saw the four shadow ninjas, he also nodded, and then put on the beige trench coat and made a few gestures, and the four shadow ninjas also hid and accompanied him again.

Immediately, Tatsuma was also slightly ahead of the ape flying sun, quickly left the Hokage Building, quickly calculated a route with the lowest chance of being found at this point in time, and began to lead the way.

Sarutobi was also happy to accept Tatsuma's arrangement, and even his every step fell on the place Tatsuma had stepped on before.

Among his peers, Tatsuma's speed and attainments in the instant can be said to be second only to the water gate, but for the Hokage of the dark part and the ape flying sun, it can almost be said to be the speed of walking.

However, it is impossible for Sarutobi to complain that Tatsuma's speed is not fast enough, after all, this is the dark part that he personally promotes, and Tatsuma's speed is not fast enough, and it is only for other dark ninjas and Hokage.

At this speed, it only takes less than a day to reach the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country from Konoha to the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country, departing this morning and arriving at the Daimyo Mansion tomorrow morning after resting, and the time is just right.

Of course, this is in the absence of accidents, and if there are accidents, the little time left may not be enough.

Chenma didn't choose to go to the village gate, after all, even if it's early in the morning, there will be people coming and going, since the news that Ape Fei Ri said that he didn't want to leave the village was known by too many people, then take the safest way.

Coming to a wall, Tatsuma quickly came to the wall, his hands were sealed, and then his hands were imprinted on the wall, and the hidden spell on the wall was activated, and Tatsuma felt that the dark mark engraved on the left shoulder in his sleeve was faintly hot.

After just a second, the sealing technique of the gate of the wall receded, and a crack appeared in the wall, which Tatsuma pushed open, and a hidden door was opened.

He turned around and gave a gesture, and the four shadows hidden around him appeared, Xiao quickly left the secret door with two members, and after checking it, he gave back the gesture to Tatsuma inside the door.

Tatsuma nodded, and said to Sarutobi, "Hokage-sama, please." ”

Ape Fei Ri nodded and walked out of the secret door, and the last dark part also followed by Ape Fei Ri Slash, and it was not until all four of them walked out that Tatsuma finally walked out and closed the secret door again.

There was no need to seal again, a technique appeared on the wall, and then disappeared, and seeing this, Tatsuma gave the order to hide and accompany him again.

Such an order is more practical in words, but in the absence of special circumstances, this most "standard" practice must be observed.

Starting again, Tatsuma would use the technique of perception every few kilometers to perceive the surrounding situation, and until the afternoon, there were no accidents.

Just when Tatsuma felt that this trip was quite calm, another perception made him discover something different, and about five kilometers ahead of their original route, there were several chakra reactions.

Tatsuma frowned, thinking about whether to change the route or send someone to investigate, at this moment, Ape Fei Ri seemed to have understood Tatsuma's distress, and said with a smile:

"Let's go over and take a look, if it's a ninja from another village, it just takes some work for the village."

This is contrary to the rules of action of the Shadow Division, but Sarutobi has the right to fully command the Dark Division, so Tatsuma nodded and replied, "Yes, Hokage." ”
