Chapter 245 Sarutobi Sasuke is Annoyed

Sarutobi Sasuke has been having a headache recently because his master's favorite youngest son, the little master whom he is responsible for taking care of - Sanada Matsutsumi, has been thinking about finding a team of blind swordsmen to serve as bodyguards ever since he met the blind Uchiha last time, and he can't stop him no matter what he says.

[Do you really think that a blind swordsman can be as skilled as that Uchiha? Think about it carefully! They are blind! They can't see anything! Have you never tried to walk with your eyes closed? Haven't you experienced the difficulty and fear brought by the pitch black?

After completely losing vision, even ninjas can't guarantee that their movements are clean and neat, and you still want me to find you a team of blind swordsmen as guards?! Do you really think this is a storybook world where logic is unnecessary as long as you have fun?! If we really gather such a team, won't we have an extra group of burdens when we encounter danger?! Stop causing trouble for me, okay! 】

——Sarutobi Sasuke really wanted to yell at Sanada Matsutsumi like this, but due to his professional ethics, he couldn't.

So after taking deep breaths to adjust his mentality, he tried his best to calm his voice and said, "Young Master, two, at most I can help you find two blind swordsmen - and as a guard, I will not protect them when they are in danger. If they are dead, they are dead, and I will not help you find them again."

"Kokichi~" Sanada Matsutome grabbed Sarutobi Sasuke's thighs, looked up at him eagerly, "You are the best~"

Sarutobi Sasuke finally lost his patience and dragged Sanada Matsutome away, "It looks like I can only resign with Master Yukimura. After all, I am a retainer who can't even meet the demands of my lord--"

"Kokichi - ten! Or five! Three! Three! It really can't be any less! If there are any less, I won't be able to form a team!"

Sarutobi Sasuke stopped and looked down at Sanada Matsutsumi who was dragged a distance by him. "Then it's settled. I will help you find three blind swordsmen, and you must stay in the daimyo's mansion and not run around during this time."

"I want to go with Kokichi~ Kokichi - Kokichi, you're the best, right~"

Sarutobi Sasuke's face twitched as he seriously considered the possibility of changing jobs, but in the end he took a deep breath again and decided to continue his work.

But before he could open his mouth, a teasing voice came from above, "Hey, hey - what are you doing? The child is begging you so much, why can't you pamper him a little more?"

Hearing the young man's voice that was brisk but also a bit curious and heartbroken, Sarutobi Sasuke's expression turned cold, "What are you doing here?"

"Hey - that's so cold - my brother and I were also sent to protect the young master." The handsome and well-behaved young man landed lightly from the beam, "We are colleagues, Mr. Sarutobi."

Sarutobi Sasuke raised his hand and pulled Sanada Matsutsumi behind him, "I don't need the cooperation of you, the Blood Pond Clan."

"How can you say that, Mr. Sarutobi? I'll be sad—" The young man raised his hands to cover his face, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up, giving a happy smile, "I'm here to help you solve the problem! I just happen to have a solution to your troubles~"

Sanada Matsuturo was also a little afraid of the young man in front of him. After the other party showed up, he tightly grasped the back of Sarutobi Sasuke's shirt. But when he heard the other party mention him, he couldn't help but pop his head out, "I remember, your name is... Blood Pond Sorrow, right?"

"Yes, it's me, but you should call me Shang now. Shang is my brother's name. He made a lot of puppets yesterday and is now sleeping because he is tired~" Xue Zhichi Shang squatted down and squinted his eyes with a smile, "I heard that you want to find a blind swordsman to be your bodyguard, right?"

"Yeah! Because the blind swordsman is really handsome!" Sanada Matsutome thought of the person he met that day, loosened his hand that was holding the back of Sarutobi Sasuke's shirt, and gestured twice with an excited look, "And it makes me feel super safe!"

"I know, I know. I also met a very outstanding blind swordsman~" Blood Pond hummed an unknown tune, his expression even more joyful, "My brother and I both like him very much."

"Really? Really?" Sanada Matsutomo's eyes sparkled. "Then can you let him be my bodyguard? I also know a very powerful blind swordsman. If I add the one you found, I will already have two blind swordsman bodyguards! As long as Kokichi finds another one!"

"Okay~ When we meet him, my brother and I will bring him back intact and make him into a blood puppet to serve as your bodyguard~ Please look forward to it, okay?" The smile on Xue Zhichi Shang's face became a little neurotic, "Oh, oh, I can also help you with the last blind swordsman's bodyguard, ok?"

Sanada Matsutsu, who was in high spirits, didn't care about the twisted smile on Xue Zhichi Shang's face, "What is it?"

"The man next to you named Sarutobi Sasuke is actually an excellent ninja swordsman. If you dig out his eyes, he will soon become the kind of blind swordsman bodyguard you envision, who is strong, reliable, and can give people a sense of security."

Watching Sanada Matsutsumi's expression gradually change from excitement to fear, Blood Pond lowered his voice like a child sharing a secret, "If you like, I can ask my brother to help make Mr. Sarutobi into a blood doll. At that time, Mr. Sarutobi will obey your command no matter what, and will never disobey you again. All you need is your order--"

"Wa ...

Sarutobi Sasuke picked up the crying child with snot and tears, and looked at Blood Pond with a bad look, "Is this your help?"

"Didn't I help Mr. Sarutobi?" Xue Zhichi Shang spread his hands, his smile becoming much more restrained, "Young Master, isn't he no longer clamoring for a blind swordsman to protect him? You should be grateful and repay the kindness, right?"

"Oh? So the way you, Blood Pond, help others is to say threatening words and then release murderous intent towards them? This is really novel." Sarutobi Sasuke snorted coldly, "Don't forget why you came to the Land of Fire... Sometimes a law-abiding life is not burying you, but protecting you."

Xue Zhi Chi Shang narrowed his eyes slightly and licked his lips unconsciously, "Well, since you don't need it, then I will tell the Daimyo and go to where I should be and shine."

After watching Blood Pond Sorrow leave, Sarutobi Sasuke comforted Sanada Matsutsumi and handed him over to the maid, then went to the black market in the capital of the Fire Nation alone - he had to find a way to deal with this crazy colleague before leading his clan to change jobs - and a madman can only be dealt with by a madman.

Sarutobi Sasuke stood at the mailing place of the black market, taking deep breaths for the umpteenth time today. [Uchiha Ling, I hope your right to speak in your clan will not disappoint me.]
