Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 119 The Entrustment of the Daming Mansion
Logically speaking, after learning most of the ninja skills, Shuichi's growth in strength should enter a period of slowdown, and then rapidly become stronger with age.

The fight just now told Orochimaru that this was not the case. Although his ninjutsu remained the same, his progress was still maintained.

For example, the strength of releasing ninjutsu, or slight improvements to existing ninjutsu, as if refreshing and strengthening existing abilities.

"It's amazing wisdom. Even without my teaching, he knows exactly what he should do at different times."

After these thoughts flashed through Dashewan's mind, he continued, "The three-generation old man has objections to the two of us, let's make some preparations in the near future."

"……,All right."

"Hey, I can't help it, I have to perform the task again."

Xiuyi knew some time ago that he had been offered a reward of 3000 million taels by the underground black market, and he had been staying in the village for the past few months without going out, so of course he hadn't done any tasks.

Recently, with the passage of time, Konoha has ushered in the peak period of the increase in the number of tasks due to the publicity of the Chunin Exam. When everyone is busy working, the two bastards Shuichi and Dashemaru are idle in the village, let it be natural It is in the eyes of the third generation.

After discussing the meeting time with Orochimaru, the two ended today's discussion and returned home to prepare the equipment needed for the mission.

Two days later in the morning, in Hokage's office, Orochimaru and Shuichi, who were carrying bags, listened calmly to the third Hokage's complaints, without any guilt for being lazy.

Seeing that these two people didn't care, Hiruzaru Sarutobi lost his temper, and said angrily: "Most of the convenient and quick tasks in the village have been taken, since you have delayed it for so long, then don't blame me The troublesome task is entrusted to you!"

"Of course, Master Hokage!" Xiuyi responded with a smile: "You see, Teacher and I have already brought all our belongings with us, and we have already prepared for it."

"Dong dong dong..." During the conversation, there was a knock on the door of Hokage's office.

"Please come in."

Xiuyi and Orochimaru stood on both sides of the desk, looking at the person who came in, it was no surprise that he was the client this time.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with delicate features, not tall. Although he was wearing clothes like a businessman, his coat looked low-key and luxurious, obviously he had a certain status.

His expression was a little anxious, but after entering the door, seeing Orochimaru and Shuichi beside him, his expression froze for a moment, and his expression soon relaxed a lot.

"It's Danza, I've kept you waiting for a long time these days." The third Hokage's tone revealed a sense of intimacy, and he was obviously familiar with this man, "You are not satisfied with the previous teams, so they are in line Your request?"

"Of course, Hokage-sama!" Inoue Tanza was obviously very happy when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's acquiescence, "Oshemaru-sama needless to say, the young man next to him is Takeda Shuichi. I heard about his performance in the Chunin Exam, he is a genius who has appeared once in decades in the Land of Fire, it's great to have these two here."

"Haha, this uncle has won the award." Xiuyi showed the appearance of an innocent boy, making the client feel that the spring breeze is the only way to improve the ninja's reputation. "Can you tell me what kind of commission it is?"

Under Tanza Inoue's narration, Xiuichi also knew why this mission was a bit troublesome.

Tanza Inoue is indeed a person of great status. He is one of the supervisors of the Daming Mansion. He is mainly responsible for foreign trade transactions. He does not sit in Kyoto and manage internal affairs, but is the leader who has led caravans to trade with other countries for a long time.

Of course, he is not needed for items of low value. The reason why he stayed in Muye Village for a while and failed to find a suitable team this time is naturally very demanding.

"The Land of Fire conducts large transactions with other countries every year. This time I really didn't expect that there would be a sudden shortage of manpower in Muye Village, so I was in such a hurry."

Materials are expensive luxury goods produced in the Daming Mansion, such as porcelain, spices, famous paintings and other extremely valuable and fragile things. The object of the transaction is the Daming Mansion of the Iron Country.

Shuichi and Orochimaru need to follow Tanza Inoue to the capital of the Land of Fire first, and then escort this valuable team to the Land of Iron. The terrain is quite difficult in winter.

The members of the caravan are ordinary people, and there are professionals who need to ensure that the rough roads will not break things at all times.This kind of news can't be concealed by many people, and there must be jealous people coming to rob along the way.

"Money is not a problem, but the general team is very difficult to complete. In the past, materials were destroyed due to battles, so I am not very relieved about the previous team." Inoue Danza is indeed an old acquaintance of Konoha, basically every year I have been here several times, and I know more about ninjas than ordinary people.

"Now there are two of you here, I am finally relieved, please take care of me in the next few months."

"Don't worry, uncle!" Xiuyi actually felt a little bit pained after hearing this. This batch of supplies may be worth more than the head of a jounin.

Moreover, after the transaction in the Iron Country, there are still a large number of expensive samurai swords and exquisite armor that need to be transported back again. Among them, there are top-level goods for daimyo’s collection, which is equivalent to two top-level escort missions. Generally speaking, it is more troublesome.

After receiving the mission, on this sunny winter day, Shuichi and Orochimaru followed Tanza Inoue to leave the village, and first went to the Daming Mansion for preparations.

The Land of Fire Daming Mansion is very close to Konoha, almost in the center of the Fire Country, less than 100 kilometers southeast of Konoha Village, and can be reached within two hours with the ninja's foot strength.

But Tanza Inoue is an ordinary person, so the three of them can only walk over at the fastest speed.Fortunately, he is also an old donkey friend with outstanding physical strength. He walked vigorously and arrived at Daming Mansion before the sun went down the next afternoon.

"Huh, is this the most prosperous city in the ninja world?" Xiuyi saw the whole picture of the Daming Mansion on a small high slope.

This is several times larger than the ancient capital in the history of the island country he had seen in his previous life. It is also a square structure. A large river is attached to the edge of the city. The city wall is majestic and magnificent. The buildings in the city have deep eaves and the roofs are large dark gray , all kinds of beautiful hipped houses with different shapes come into view.

There are also many high-rise buildings among them. After Xiuyi recalled the related books he had read, he knew that they were shrines, Buddhist temples and palaces.

"How about it, isn't it spectacular?" Tanzuo Inoue looked at him and said, "Because the caravan has a lot of stuff and some people are still preparing, the team is tentatively scheduled to leave the day after tomorrow, so Xiuichi-kun can take a good tour of the Daming Mansion during this time. I believe you will not be disappointed."

The three of them successfully entered the Daming Mansion before dusk, and Xiuyi and Da Shemaru were taken to stay at the place where the VIPs were entertained.

At night, the city is still brightly lit and there is no curfew. The street lamps and candle lights on both sides of the road are always on.

Xiuyi had a great time shopping in the commercial street, looking around for special items worth buying, and made sure to make a big purchase after the task was completed.
