Chapter 103: Greedy Bounty Hunters

Shang Ge Wei Xu was silent for a while, his dark eyes staring at Yue Le, and after a moment, he slowly replied: "My name is Shang Ge Wei Xu, the distant niece of the Fire Country Daimyo. This time, I am returning to Kyoto as the fiancée of the Daimyo's son. Of course, this is the ultimate goal."

Kai and Hong were dumbfounded when they heard the answer. They could never have imagined that this seemingly ordinary girl in front of them would have such an amazing identity and background.

Black Cat was wiping the bloody blade aside, she didn't care about these things.

The current daimyo is already very old, and it won’t be long before the succession issue will be finalized.

The future daimyo's fiancée turned out to be the one they needed to protect.

Yue Le couldn't help but frown and was secretly annoyed in his heart. How could he dare to conceal such a crucial matter? How foolish!

Not to mention that he and others have already taken over the matter and now know her identity. As the financial backer behind Konoha, Yue Le would never leave her here.

Even if other people were to take charge of this mission, without knowing the truth, not only would Mio end up miserably, but even the ninjas of Konoha Village would not be spared and would be implicated.

Of course, Yue Le didn't know that the reason why Wei Xu was able to accept this task with peace of mind was entirely because he saw him.

Sometimes reputation does affect a person's judgment. Even though Yue Le has two teammates who are obviously burdens, it cannot conceal Yue Le's current status.

If it were another ignorant ninja, Kamigatsu Mio would have refused outright and continued to replace his guards. From a certain perspective, this is probably what people often say, "having money means being willful."

At this moment, the smile on Yue Le's face disappeared without a trace in an instant as if blown by a gust of cold wind, and was replaced by an indifference as if it had been an iceberg for thousands of years. At this moment, he was the wind bird that was feared on the battlefield.

With a cold light in his eyes, his voice became low and serious, and he said word by word: "If this is your true identity, then it is impossible that the people in your village are unaware of it."

Yes, in this situation, even if Mr. Sarutobi didn't want to tell me, my grandfather would not harm me.

Wei Xu sighed softly, with a hint of gloom in her tone. There were many things that even she could not resist.

Accepting the support from the family, she naturally has to bear the corresponding responsibilities. She is the eldest daughter in the family and has this responsibility.

Although he was reluctant to say it, he still explained the current situation to Yue Le: "......I am just one of the candidates for the daimyo's son's fiancée...Also, this matter is still confidential. The reason we went to Kyoto this time was just to visit the daimyo as relatives."

Yue Le looked at Wei Xu silently, with a gleam in his eyes. He understood the bitterness in Wei Xu's heart, but did not say much. He did not care about these things. He wanted to find out the truth only in order to complete the task better.

He needs to better estimate the strength of the enemies he might face.

After signaling to Saku Daichi to slow down, the group continued their journey. This road was rarely smooth...

Suddenly, Kai, who had been silent all the time, spoke up: "Teacher, if we are attacked by the enemy again next time, can I go?" There was a hopeful light in his eyes, and he looked at Yue Le with anticipation.

Passive defense is not his character. Youth means to charge forward bravely and kill the enemy!

Yue Le couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing this.

Even though Kai's strength had improved greatly after a month of special training, he was still hesitant to pull him out directly for this kind of mission.

However, Yue Le did not want to dampen Kai's enthusiasm, so he could only reply without looking back: "Let's talk about it later. The enemy this time will not be easy. Everything depends on the mission. Listen to my arrangements."

"Yoshi! Youth! The blue beast of Konoha! I will prove it to my enemies! Sensei!"

"Let's talk about it later..."

.......

Kai is definitely not weak. At least among the ninjas in the same batch, his strength is definitely one of the best.

In addition, Yue Le himself is a speed-attack ninja, and as a muscular young beast, his training is naturally towards this direction, so that he can perfectly play the role of his physical weapon.

After this ambush, Yuele Team began to consciously slow down their speed. The next attack will definitely be more terrifying than the previous one.

After all, few people would be foolish enough to take on the mission to kill Ge Weixu even though they knew his strength.

At this time, the black market.

A man dressed in a pitch-black robe and shrouded in shadows appeared in front of the bounty hall like a ghost.

He was carrying a round package with traces of blood on it, giving off a creepy vibe, but it seemed somewhat unremarkable here.

The entire bounty hall was unusually deserted. There were only one or two people looking at the task list and talking about something, which was very different from usual.

There was a hint of thought in his light green eyes. It was rare to see someone like this in the black market.

The man casually tossed the package to the old man behind the counter and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Old Blackhead, where are all the people?"

Old Heitou took the package, opened it carefully, and observed it carefully. He was not scared at all. After confirming that it was correct, he took out a bill worth 10 million taels from the cabinet and threw it on the counter.

He laughed and said, "There's a big order coming in, are you interested?"

Hearing what Lao Heitou said, the man's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. A big order... that means a lot of money...

But the action in his hands did not stop. He quickly put the money away, put it to his mouth, sniffed it carefully, and felt the smell of money...

"Hmm....Money still smells better...Tell me more about it, no money, right?"

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. This old black guy was the most cunning. If he wanted money, he could just go and ask around himself. Anyway, with so many people out there, the news must have spread long ago.

Upon hearing this, Old Blackhead grinned, revealing his gold teeth.

“No, no, hahahaha. OK, it’s for free. Let’s see if you can take the money.”

After saying that, Old Blackhead handed the scroll in his hand and two bounty warrants with beautiful portraits to the man in front of him.

A barely perceptible glimmer suddenly flashed in Old Heitou's yellow eyes - this information was actually worthless, so doing a favor would be the best use of it and kill two birds with one stone.

Hearing this, the man quickly put away the banknotes on the counter, then picked up the scroll and examined it. After just a moment, he couldn't hold back his joy and burst out laughing: "Haha, my luck has been really good lately!"

Then he picked up the bounty warrant, turned around and left, laughing.

It seemed as if the bounty had already been in his pocket...

The money-grubbing Kakuzu...
