Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 124 Unexpected Mission

Wenzao said in surprise: "Is this true? Can we go home?"

Zenta poked Fumizou in the arm and said, "It's impossible for Elder Jiro to lie to others! We can go home!"

Then the two of them were so happy that they stood up to say goodbye and left immediately.

"Senior, are you an old friend of Tsunade-sama? Do you know where she is?"

Neji was confused and asked tentatively.

"Yes, but I can't determine her exact location. Are you Konoha ninjas?"

Jiro had an honest face and spoke straightforwardly.

"I'm really sorry to follow you two. I am the head of the Wasabi family from Akuchi Castle in the Kingdom of Tea. I sent three groups of subordinates to Konoha Village to entrust tasks, but there was no news from all of them, so I followed you when I saw you. "

"Oh? Senior, you want us to help you convey your entrustment?"

Neji had understood what the other party meant, but he was a little embarrassed, fearing that it would delay the search for Tsunade.

"It would be best if this is the case, but regardless of whether you can help or not, I will tell you Tsunade's information truthfully."

Jiro Chang said calmly and had no intention of taking advantage of anyone's danger.

"This" Neji hesitated. He originally thought that the other party wanted to exchange Tsunade's information, but he didn't expect it to be so upright. "I have to ask our captain for his opinion, okay?"

"I'm sure!"

A loud sound came, and he didn't know when he was coming. He jumped down from the tree and then walked towards the crowd.

"Senior Jirocho, I am Konoha Gekko, and these two are Hyuga Neji and Tenten."

Pay attention to the introduction one by one, and then say:
"Since senior is an old friend of Tsunade-sama, and also an old friend of us in Konoha, I think it would be enough for senior to entrust the task to the three of us directly, and save having to run back to Konoha."

Neji frowned and said, "Shouldn't finding Tsunade-sama be a top priority?"

Tiantian said worriedly, "Ninjas should be appointed by the village to accept tasks. Is this okay?"

"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times." Pay attention to pointing your palm at Neji, and then it's Tiantian's turn, "Senior, I will tell you that this is a young genius from the Konoha Hyuga clan, and this one is Tiantian, an expert in Konoha ninja tools. ."

"How about we carry out the mission and make sure everything is flawless?"

Pay attention to smiling and wait for the other party to answer.

Jiro laughed heartily and said happily: "It's just right! Tsunade has been in the southern towns of the Land of Fire in recent days, and she wrote to me not long ago."

The three of them bid farewell to Jiro Cho for the time being, went back to the hotel to pack their luggage, and met to return to the Land of Tea early tomorrow morning.

After returning to the hotel, he came to the attention room. Neji asked in confusion: "Although Tsunade-sama's whereabouts are uncertain, we already have an approximate location. Why not find it first?"

Tiantian was still worried about the rules and regulations, and asked quietly: "Does this count as accepting the task privately? If the superiors find out, they will be punished."

He Xin explained: "Senior Jiro-chan kindly told me that we naturally have to solve other people's problems. Besides, Tsunade-sama is really not that easy to find. Can't we just pass the news to Jiraiya-senpai and let them go first? As for Tiantian That’s a problem.”

Hexin shook his head and thought for a while and said, "Can't we just not charge money?"

"Are you so kind? You don't want to take money?" Neci looked disbelieving. "Of course! But if Jirocho-senpai gives you some souvenirs or something, we can't let the old man feel cold, can we?"

The three of them discussed it and decided to follow the lead. They met Jiro at the entrance of the village early the next morning and headed to the country of tea together.

Along the way, the three of them learned from Jiro Nagasaki that the mission was to protect Wasabi's family from obtaining the right to lead sacrifices in the Todoroki Taisha Shrine rituals.

The Todoro Taisha Shrine sacrificial event is held every four years. The reason is that the country of tea, as a peninsula country, has been invaded by storms on the sea for a long time. In order to ensure that the common people live and work in peace and contentment, the ancients used dragon and tiger gems as offerings and enshrined a shrine to pray to the sea. bless.

It was supposed to be just a commemorative event, but it has been passed down for a long time and has become one of the methods used by various domestic forces to compete for power and profit.

Since there are two local factions in Idego Castle in the Kingdom of Tea, namely the Wasabi family and the Wagashi family, the two families have been fighting for many years with heavy casualties. In order not to affect the safety of local civilians, the daimyo used the four-year Todosha Shrine sacrificial event as a way of competition. , the one who obtained the right to lead the sacrifice was the leader of Chuji City.

If you want to obtain the right to lead the sacrifice, you must send the dragon, tiger and jade from the starting sacrifice society to the final sacrifice society. The family that arrives the fastest wins. The reason why the sacrifices are moved around reflects the hardship of the process. This has become a current custom. .

Pay attention to the specific mission of this trip: to prevent the ninjas hired by the Kasabi family from destroying Jiro's Wasabi family and to protect the safety of the Wasabi family contestants.

The activity day was still early, and no one on the road was in a hurry. Along the way, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the foreign country. They carefully took out their diaries and wrote, "Success in checking into the country of tea!"
After a day and a night's journey, everyone finally arrived at Deku Castle and the residence of Wasabi's family.

At the gate of the courtyard, a long-awaited young man with black hair came over and greeted him respectfully:

"Elder Jiro! You are back!"

However, the three of them who were paying attention behind Chief Jiro didn't show any good looks, and even snorted secretly when they saw the forehead guards on Neji and Tiantian's heads.

"Itoten, this is the Konoha ninja who will protect you in this event." Jiro Cho introduced both parties immediately.

But before he finished the introduction, Yi Tuotian said dismissively: "I don't want ninja protection at all, not to mention you are still younger than me, hum!"

Jiro Chang immediately straightened his face and said seriously: "Don't be rude!"

Then he turned around and apologized, "Be careful, Ning Ci, Tian Tian, ​​I'm sorry Yi Tuo Tian didn't mean it."

"Haha senior, don't worry, I won't mind with children." Mindful looked friendly and generous.

"You are the child!" Yi Tuotian glared.

Neji shook his head and said bluntly: "Senior, if the contestants have the mentality of a child like this, even if they are strong, they will not be very reassuring."

"You!" Yi Tuotian became angry and pointed at Neji as if he wanted to have a fight.

"Yituotian! Alright!" Jiro said angrily.

Although he likes Yi Tuotian as his subordinate, he also thinks that he is too willful and has a conflict with the guests before they even enter the door. This is really not the way to treat guests.

"Sorry boss!"

Yi Tuotian also knew that he had embarrassed his boss, so he bowed and ran towards the street.

Jiro had no choice but to order two of his men to catch up and check, and he led the three of them to the living room.

In front of the tea table in the living room, Jiro took the main seat to boil water and make tea. He noticed that the three of them were sitting apart.
