Chapter 178 Strange Client +1

"My name is Yue Jiancheng. I have long heard that Uchiha ninjas are the most serious and responsible in their missions. Today, I saw that you all have outstanding appearances and are considered to be the best among men. If there is anything wrong with me in the next few days, you will have to bear with me."

The middle-aged man who was speaking had a flattering smile and a very humble attitude, looking weak and easy to bully. He kept wiping his sweat after meeting Ling and the others, and looked extremely nervous.

And his appearance made Madara a little impatient, "We didn't come here from the clan just to listen to your useless nonsense, let's talk business."

"Yes, yes, yes." Even though he was insulted by Madara, who was only as tall as his chest, Yue Jiancheng did not seem to be annoyed at all. He just bent down a little more and smiled, "My fellow ninjas, to be honest, I have blocked many people's paths in my career recently, and I don't know how many people are watching my every move. Therefore, I am really uneasy about going to the Moon Kingdom this time..."

Then the three of them heard a rather clichéd story -

Because he climbed up the ladder too quickly, he aroused the envy of others, causing him to live in insecurity and have to hire ninjas or something...

However, when Izuna looked at the pattern on the other party's body, his expression gradually became unfriendly. "This pattern... Aren't you the one who hired Senju to fight us this time? If you have such a mission, why don't you just hire Senju? Or are you planning to trick us?"

Seeing the increasingly hostile looks on Madara and Izumi Nana's faces, Yue Jiancheng's voice revealed a bit of embarrassment, "Of course I wouldn't dare to do that, but..."

"Okay, Madara, Izuna, he's just doing things for others, there's no point in making things difficult for him." Ling, who had been standing to one side as if in a daze, finally came over and nodded helplessly to Yue Jiancheng, "Don't worry, even if your master is hiring our enemies to fight us, we will still perform our duties and escort you safely to the Kingdom of the Moon. You can relax a little."

"Haha, it's great that you understand. Whatever the higher-ups do, the most difficult things are for us who are in charge," Yue Jiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ling. "If you have any needs along the way, just tell me. As long as I can satisfy them, I will do my best!"

"You don't have to do that. I would like to ask you to be more tolerant of my brothers," Ling stepped back and avoided the question without making a sound, but his face remained gentle and polite. "They are not old enough to understand this, so they will probably be hostile to you this time."

Yue Jiancheng took his hand back without any embarrassment, glanced at Madara and Izuna who looked unfriendly, and the flattering smile on his face spread more and more, "It's as it should be, we all understand each other..."

Izumi obviously didn't understand this act of protecting the rival employer. Even though Ling was rubbing his head, he still looked up and asked, "Are our two families fighting?"

"They are probably testing and looking for evidence, right?" Madara crossed his arms. Although he looked unhappy, his tone was calm. "They hire ninjas from the other side to arouse their suspicion. At the same time, they also test the capabilities of the hired ninjas, so as to find their flaws and select their next partners... tsk - what a boring trick."

Seeing Ling nod in agreement, Quannai frowned even more tightly, "But this is already a provocation, right? Aren't you afraid of being killed by us?"

"If we kill the employer, the people behind him will use this to question the clan and suppress it. In short, if we fail to refuse the mission at the beginning, we will only face disadvantages later."

Ling still smiled, "But if the employer behind us also hired Senju to assassinate us, the situation would be very interesting. In that case, whichever ninja clan loses will not be able to hold its head up in the next few years. It can be regarded as a kind of customary competition between ninja clans."

"They hired both of us to fight for them, and at the same time they hired the other side to assassinate each other in an attempt to prove their loyalty and conduct a strength screening..." Izuna's expression twisted for a moment, "Are they crazy?"

Madara nodded in agreement, "He's obviously very ill, and he's only resorting to some underhanded tactics - if you want something, you should fight for it squarely."

Ling shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you just need to know these principles by yourselves, and don't need to tell them out loud, or Mr. Yuejian will be embarrassed."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. If it were me, I would also feel uncomfortable. It's better to let them speak out." Yue Jiancheng still looked soft. "Then let me tell you about the mission first?"

Ling just smiled and pushed back, "Please talk to Madara about the details of the mission. I'm just a thug here to protect my brothers."

"But……"

"Do you have anything else to say?" Madara raised his eyebrows. "According to what you said, we only need to send you safely to your destination in the Moon Country and ensure your personal safety. Is that enough? Do you want to issue additional tasks?"

Izuna also snorted, still looking unhappy. "Do you need to pay extra and write a report for tasks beyond the mission description? Or are you deliberately ignoring this because you are hiring ninjas from the rival family?"

Feeling the undisguised hostility from Madara and Izuna, Yue Jiancheng glanced at Ling who remained calm, the smile on his face not changing at all -

"Please don't embarrass me. How dare I offend the Uchiha, who is known as the noble among ninjas? I just have some personal matters to take care of on the way, and I want to plan my own route..."

Upon hearing this, Madara took out the mission scroll and looked at the records on it carefully. "Those things don't matter, but you only hired us for half a month. If you delay too long on the way, we will force you to go to the Moon Kingdom to complete this mission and then leave."

"I know this rule, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you ninja masters." Yue Jiancheng said with a smile, "Then I will arrange the route from now on?"

"Stop laughing, it's disgusting." Ban tutted and took a step back in disgust. "Tell me, where do you want to go first?"

"The first stop is not far away." Even though he was called disgusting by Madara, Yue Jiancheng's smile remained unchanged. He just raised his hand and pointed to the northwest, "It's Kabukicho over there."

Madara\u0026Izuna: ...Is this client poisonous?
