Chapter 48 The so-called measure

Without answering Watanabe Mousse's question, Shangguan Mo chose to change the topic.

"By the way, what's the mission this time?"

The Evil God Cult had been wiped out, at least in the Kingdom of Tang. Shangguan Mo was a little curious about what ninjas usually do.

It's impossible to be like Konoha and search for the missing cats and dogs for Fat Aunt every day, right?

"This mission is an escort mission. It is also the most mission that we ninjas can receive in normal times. Some of the items are not particularly valuable. Those merchants from the Kingdom of Yu are still willing to entrust us with such missions."

The person who spoke was Tian Feng, with a hint of joy on his face at this time, as if he was happy that the village could receive the task entrustment.

Watanabe Mousse said nothing, but Toneri's eyes darkened slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Escort mission..."

Shangguan Mo murmured, and he seemed to understand something about what Tian Feng said was "not a very valuable thing."

"In other words, even the merchants of Yu Country would never entrust Yu Nin with such valuable items...

Tangyin Village...it's true that even people from this country can't trust it..."

He felt a little speechless in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. He didn't want to add salt to these people's wounds.

"Okay, let's talk about the details of the mission as we walk along the road. Our employer should have been waiting outside the village for a while to avoid being impatient."

Watanabe Mousse took out his pocket watch and took a look at it before interrupting the exchange between Shangguan Mo and others.

"Yes!"

Shangguan Mo and Tian Feng replied.

But Shangguan Mo couldn't help but start complaining in his heart.

"Speaking of which, we are ninjas. We just feel that we are not up to par in the eyes of those merchants from the Country of Yu. Why don't we even have the majesty of a ninja? This feeling is completely reversed, okay?"

Shangguan Mo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

……

After arriving at the entrance of the village, this premonition quickly became a reality.

Several dozen meters away, Shangguan Mo saw several figures in luxurious clothes. Among them, a middle-aged man with the belly of a prime minister was walking around at the gate of Tangyin Village.

His face was gloomy and he looked very impatient.

Seeing the figures of Shangguan Mo and others coming from inside, he took two quick steps with them, and before he could stand still, he shouted angrily at them.

"Why are you Yugakure ninjas so slow this time! Don't you know that my time is precious? If this happens next time, I won't hire you ninjas from Yugakure Village!"

"Ok?"

Shangguan Mo took a deep breath and stared at this fat middle-aged man with wide eyes and some disbelief.

Because of what Watanabe Mousse said before.

On the way out of the village, he was vaguely mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the reality was still a bit difficult for him to accept.

Just from one or two words from this fat man's mouth, Shangguan Mo could clearly feel how low the status of Tangyin Ninja was in the eyes of the middle and upper class people in Tang Kingdom!

He was just an ordinary businessman who was like a nouveau riche and needed to personally come to Tangyin Village to issue commissions. How dare he mercilessly scolded these ninjas who had mastered chakra and could easily decide their life or death!

"What the hell! Did I go to the wrong set!

Maybe this is not the ninja world, but a parallel world similar to the ninja world but with extremely high status of businessmen?

I'm a ninja! Are you so disrespectful in the eyes of an ordinary businessman?

Is there any heavenly principle? ah!

Is there any royal law? "

Shangguan Mo's face was full of disbelief.

Shangguan Mo, who has no status in the various countries in the ninja world, accepted it. After all, his Tangyin Village was indeed a small household with two or three big cats and kittens.

It was normal for those great ninja villages to look down on Tangyin Village. After all, even he himself looked down upon this village.

Shangguan Mo can feel such contempt in his heart, but Shangguan Mo feels that he cannot have people outside Tangyin Village!

Because he is wearing it on his forehead now,

But Tang Ren protects his forehead!

You act like an ordinary person, pretending to be your mother!

Shangguan Mo's eyes flashed coldly, and he raised his right hand, about to slap the fat man with a mean mouth in the face.

But suddenly he found that his right hand was being pinched tightly. He subconsciously tried hard to break free, but found that he couldn't move.

Shocked in his heart, Shangguan Mo quickly looked down.

At this time, Watanabe Mousse was already standing between him and Fatty. He just stretched out a hand to hold Shangguan Mo firmly behind his back.

"Hebianjun, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have such a hasty temper!"

Watanabe Musi smiled and said hello to the fat man. He didn't seem to care at all about the fat man's previous bad attitude.

The fat man was startled, because Watanabe Mousse had been standing behind Shangguan Mo and the others, so he didn't see them for a while.

But when Watanabe Mousse walked out, his originally unhappy expression immediately turned into surprise.

"Watanabe-sama! Long time no see, really long time no see! I didn't expect that I just commissioned a B-level escort mission and invited you, the Jonin, out. It's a huge profit! Now I feel relieved! Haha! Ha ha……"

"I'm just bringing a group of newcomers. Your time is precious. Mr. Hebian, let's set off now. Where do you put the goods for this mission?"

Watanabe Mousse smiled lightly.

"My caravan is not far ahead and is resting. Mr. Watanabe, let's go there now, shall we?"

"it is good!"

……

Watanabe Mousse and Fatty gradually walked away while talking and laughing, and Tian Feng and Watanabe Toneri quickly followed.

Only Shangguan Mo stared blankly at the backs of Watanabe Mousse and the two of them.

Flawless white snowflakes fell from the sky, turning Shangguan Mo's black hair white.

His face was calm, showing no emotion or anger.

Only he knew that the white frost seemed to stick to his heart.

It made his heart as cold as ice.

……

creak...

Tian Feng suddenly realized that someone was missing, and quickly stopped and turned to look at Shangguan Mo.

"Shangguan Mo, why aren't you walking over there?"

Watanabe Tomon next to him paused slightly, and slowly turned around to look back. When he saw Shangguan Mo who was still motionless, he was just startled for a moment before he understood, and then his expression suddenly became a little complicated.

He seemed to have seen his former self.

Tian Feng has a carefree temperament, but as a ninja of Tang Yin, he is looked down upon by ordinary people. He has long been accustomed to this kind of humiliation and does not take it seriously.

But Toneri Watanabe knew how humble these businessmen's attitudes were when facing ninjas from a big country like Konoha!

After a little silence, he grabbed Tian Feng who wanted to turn around and said calmly.

"Let's go, let him be alone in the back, just think about this kind of thing..."

Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at Watanabe Toneri.

"Want to drive? What do you want to drive? Going on a mission in the middle of winter?"

Ignoring him, Toneri Watanabe just thought silently in his heart.

"Father has high hopes for you. Even when the village is very busy, he will personally come to familiarize you with the mission process. The leader even personally pulled you out of the ninja school and prepared to send you after you complete a few missions. When you are promoted to chuunin, you will pull Tian Feng and I, who are the younger generation of geniuses in the village, into your team. Even the members of our respective teams will be handed over to you, a recent graduate. In the hands of the squadron leader!"

Watanabe Toneri's eyes were a little deep.

"Shangguan Mo, you shouldn't be so considerate, right?"
