People in Hokage, start as Tachibana Ukyo

Fire country.

border town.

Amano and his party stopped.

In order to keep it secret, the three of Amano had already taken off their foreheads in advance.

The current trio didn't look much different from ordinary passers-by.

"I'll rest here for one night today, and leave tomorrow morning."

The three came to a hotel, and Amano explained to Kakashi and Matt Dai.

The two nodded, agreeing.

"You guys rest first, I'll go meet the commissioner of this mission."

After leaving this sentence, Amano turned around and left the hotel.

"It's really lively!"

Walking on the streets of the town, you can see traveling merchants everywhere.

Perhaps because of the relatively rich products in the Land of Fire, many merchants from other places would come here to buy goods at low prices, and then sell them elsewhere at high prices.

Along the way, what Amano heard most was the sound of bargaining among merchants.

Nowadays, the relationship between the Nation of Fire and the major powers is gradually becoming tense, and border frictions are becoming more and more frequent.

I don't know when the guns will go off and they will fight directly.

When the war broke out, the frontier cities were the first to bear the brunt.

I don't know how long the liveliness and prosperity here will last.

Amano sighed softly and continued on his way.

"Sunshine Hot Spring Hotel, it seems that this is the place."

As soon as Amano entered here, a sweet-looking waiter came over.

"Hi sir, welcome!"

"I'm here to find Mr. Zhongyi, where is he?"

Amano directly called out his intentions.

"So you came to see Mr. Zhongyi, please follow me!"

Following in the footsteps of the waiter, the two stopped in front of a Japanese-style room.

"Come in, Mr. Zhongyi has been waiting for you for a long time."

Entering the room, Amano saw a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body was kneeling on the ground, savoring fine wine, and not far from him, a middle-aged man with a sword was staring at him with piercing eyes, His eyes were full of vigilance.

Amano glanced at the middle-aged man holding the sword, and immediately shifted his gaze to the fat man kneeling on the ground.

When the fat man saw that Amano was so young, he couldn't help but despise him a little.

"Konoha sent such a young ninja on this mission, didn't Konoha take this mission to heart?"

Fatty thought so in his heart, but kept a bright smile on his face.

"I don't know where you are from? How do you call me?"

"Konoha, Moonlight Amano!" Amano replied lightly.

"Moonlight Amano? Is there such a character among Konoha's famous ninjas?"

The fat man recalled for a while, and found that there was no information about this person in the list he collected.

It seems that the young ninja in front of him is probably a nobody.

Unexpectedly, Konoha's attitude towards A-level missions was so rash, and he only sent a young man to meet him.

An A-level task, if there is no Jonin in charge, the chance of completing it will be very slim.

He didn't think the young man in front of him had the strength of a Jonin, and he was probably a young junior who came to practice with the team.

Thinking of this, the fat man couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Perhaps, the captain responsible for this mission is someone else."

The fat man thought in this way, with a hint of hope in his eyes, he asked again: "Amano-kun, where is the captain in charge of this escort mission? Can you introduce me?"

"I am the captain in charge of this escort mission. If you have any questions, just ask me."

When the fat man heard this, the only trace of hope in his eyes was instantly shattered, and he seemed to lose all his strength at once.

After finally cheering up, the fat man continued to ask: "I wonder if Amano-kun can tell the strength of the team members, so I can at least have a bottom line in my heart."

"Well, I'm now Konoha's special Jnin, and the remaining two members, one is Chunin and the other is Genin."

This is no secret, Amano told the truth.

Of course, these are only superficial strengths.

As for the real strength of the three, whether it is Amano, or the remaining Kakashi and Mattai, they all have strength beyond the title of the deity.

In particular, Matt Dai, who has mastered the Bamen Dunjia, can even toughen the elite Jōnin when he starts to be ruthless. Even the current Amano dare not be sure that he can beat him.

"A special ninja, a middle ninja, and a low ninja, with such a configuration, dare to take on that A-level escort task. I really don't know what Konoha's senior management thinks. If I didn't entrust the task to Konoha, I really want to start again. Recruiting people is too unreliable!"

At this time, the fat man seemed to be completely discouraged, and he looked a little depressed.

There seemed to be more sadness on his face.

Want to say something.

However, the words came to his lips and swallowed again.

Amano doesn't care what the other party thinks, what he wants to know most now is when to leave.

So, without beating around the bush, he asked directly, "I wonder when Mr. Zhongyi will leave?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will set off after I gather the team." The fat man replied weakly.

"Oh?" Amano paused for a moment, and then asked: "I wonder how many people Mr. Zhongyi brought this time? How much goods did he bring?"

"About 50 people, plus five carts of goods."

The fat man didn't think about it, and replied directly.

"Mr. Zhongyi, I have to remind you in advance that our team is only responsible for escorting the princess to leave the Snow Country safely, and not responsible for the safety of your convoy." Amano paused for a while, and then said: "If Mr. Zhongyi is interested, we can help Escort the convoy, but you must pay enough remuneration, this is also a kind of escort mission, I don’t know what Mr. Zhongyi will do?”

When the fat man heard this, he refused without thinking, "No need, we have our own guards, so we won't bother Konoha!"

A lot of money has been spent on purchasing goods from the Kingdom of Fire this time.

I thought that as a guide, I could get the protection of Konoha Ninja for free.

But who would have thought that although the leading Konoha ninja was young, he was very scheming, so he asked him for an escort fee openly and aboveboard.

He was really unwilling to just give away the money in his hands, so he rejected Amano.

Amano didn't care, just smiled lightly and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave, see you tomorrow!"

"Alas!" Seeing Amano leaving, the fat man sighed helplessly, and said, "I thought I could get the protection of Konoha Ninja for free, but I didn't expect to meet a ghost this time. My calculations were completely in vain. .”

"My lord, Your Majesty has already explained that you can hire Konoha ninjas to escort you all the way for safety. Why refuse his request?"

On the side, the man with the sword who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke out.

"I don't want to save money for the country. Over the years, the country's finances have not been very good." Speaking of this, the fat man showed a hint of sadness on his face at the right time.

"Your Excellency is loyal and patriotic, I admire you, but our convoy will pass through several countries along the way, if you encounter stray ninja attacks on the way, these people we brought alone will not be enough." The middle-aged man with a sword looked deeply Glancing at the fat man, he continued: "If possible, I hope that my lord can hire those Konoha ninjas, so that both the safety of the lord and the safety of the goods are guaranteed."

"Shuji, I will seriously consider what you said."

The fat man nodded and said nothing more.

After returning to the hotel, Amano and Kakashi had a simple dinner, and then began to practice alone.

Amano hadn't had time to practice the A-level swordsmanship scroll he got from Orochimaru.

Now that there is time, it is also time to learn this sword technique.

Soon, there was a hissing sound of swords in the yard.

Not far away, Kakashi happened to see Amano practicing sword, and muttered in his mouth: "No wonder your swordsmanship is so powerful..."

After watching for a while, Kakashi turned and left without disturbing Amano.

Amano just glanced in the direction of Kakashi's departure, didn't say much, calmed down, and continued to practice swords.

"Completion progress: 1.2%...1.5%...2%..."

Watching the completion progress on the panel slowly increase, Amano's anticipation grew stronger.

I don't know how much performance progress I can get after I have fully mastered this A-level swordsmanship.

With such expectations in mind, Amano practiced even more vigorously!
The long sword seemed to dance faster in his hand, and the original shape of the long sword could hardly be seen.

At this time, the long sword seemed to turn into a hazy light, moving around Amano continuously.

Wherever it passes, there are bursts of sharpness.

There seemed to be silver lines left in the air, centered on Amano and spreading in all directions...
