Chapter 356 Banquet!
Light!
light!
The extremely bright lights illuminate the entire castle tower like a city that never sleeps.
The messengers were stunned for a moment.
There are no such things as street lights in ordinary cities, but there are many in places like Konoha and Kyoto.
But there is no light anywhere as bright as the castle tower.
Even in the direction of the port, there are several lighthouses emitting light beams reaching into the sky, allowing ships to clearly see the sea and dock even at night.
The streets are crowded with people.
Bright lights, a safe environment, and a relaxed atmosphere naturally make people yearn for it.
Do you really think that the title of ‘Lighthouse of Freedom’ is just a boast? .
If the castle tower had not blocked the immigration passage, it would not be a problem for the current population of hundreds of thousands to increase several times.
But even so, the number of merchants and unregistered people still doubled the number of people in the castle tower.
In other words, the public data is hundreds of thousands, which only counts registered people. If everyone is included, the population will double.
They are all chasing Konoha!
And the population also represents the prosperity of the city, how can it not make Konoha jealous.
The bright street lights on both sides of the street make people feel like it's daytime.
The ninja world is an extremely contradictory place.
On the one hand, we have entered the age of electricity and have developed productive forces; on the other hand, we are backward and poor, with countless people dying of starvation.
Soon, a dozen envoys from the joint mission and the escorting ninjas arrived at the top of the mountain.
At this time, the appearance of the top of the mountain changed drastically.
Everything had been bulldozed and turned into neat buildings with various water towers on them.
Hospitals, shops, barbecue restaurants...etc. are all gathered here.
A huge dark golden bowl-shaped building appeared in front of everyone.
Judging from the appearance, the building cannot be said to be similar to the Hokage Building, they are exactly the same.
Tang Ping has no intention of creating a ‘spectacle’.
It’s not that there’s no money, it’s that it’s not the time yet.
Now the castle tower wants to develop in a low-key manner, not to steal the limelight.
Of course, Tang Ping could not let the envoys in so easily. He had prepared a little 'surprise' for these people.
Ninjas wearing ninja vests and forehead protectors were distributed around the building, all eyes fixed on the mission.
Hundreds of ninjas stared at a mission, and the pressure was as strong as it could be.
If this joint mission was sent by the five major ninja villages, they would definitely not feel any pressure, because the ability to be a messenger is extraordinary.
But this mission came from a daimyo, not from a ninja village. The messenger was not a ninja, and they had never experienced this kind of treatment before.
The ninjas I usually meet treat them as masters, how dare I treat them like this.
Chakra is originally refined from cellular energy + spiritual energy, so murderous intent is not a description in the ninja world, but a description.
Although the murderous aura of ordinary ninjas is not very effective.
But hundreds of ninjas releasing murderous intent are useless to ninjas, but extremely terrifying to ordinary people.
Feeling the substantial murderous intention in their bodies, as if there was a kunai pressing against their throats, the faces of these messengers all turned ugly.
Several envoys from small countries were even scared to the point of peeing and fell to the ground.
Show off your power!
Tang Ping played this trick to make these envoys put away their noble arrogance.
He didn't have a noble as his father like other ninjas.
On the contrary, he is the father of this group that has grabbed the most resources in the ninja world but is corrupt and incompetent.
The first floor of this building, which was named 'Tenshou Pavilion', has been turned into a banquet hall.
It consists of a long desk and a conference table at the top.
Tea and snacks were placed on the table.
At the edge of the hall was a group of fully armed Uchiha.
I have to say that it is not possible to let Uchiha do other things, but it is really useful to support the scene and kill people.
And Hinata Sogetsu and Uchiha Mei were on equal footing.
As for Uchiha Shizuka, Yamama Koji... and others, they naturally mingled in the corner of the banquet hall and were responsible for supporting the scene.
Yashiro Uchiha and Kiyoo Asasa each have their own special table.
Soon, these envoys sat behind the desk one after another, with the guarding ninjas standing beside them.
"Eh!"
Sitting on the chair behind the desk at the top, Tang Ping, who was a little taller than the table, looked at the figure behind the Fire Nation envoy.
An acquaintance!
It was none other than Asuma, the youngest son of the Sarutobi family, the rebellious young man.
Unexpectedly, the other party also came.
But after thinking about it for a while, Tangping found that the other party's appearance was very reasonable.
Because the other party has joined the daimyo's guardian ninja, and the castle tower is related to Konoha, sending him, the son of the Hokage, as a guard will not only improve the envoy's qualifications, but also make the castle tower have some scruples.
It can only be said that Asuma Sarutobi acted like a good Kage II instead of acting like a dog to the enemy. He was simply stupid and would definitely bring shame to Konoha.
The most speechless thing is that after being a dog for others, he can still return to Konoha and serve as an instructor for Inarakacho.
It’s so shameless!
Pooh!
nausea!
The inside story is completely dark.
Would you like to try another ninja? .
Not to mention joining the daimyo's guardian ninja, even if you leave Konoha without permission, they will hunt you down as a traitorous ninja.
Like ANBU, one of their important responsibilities is to hunt down traitorous ninjas.
With this ready-made example, people really have to doubt whether Sarutobi Hiruzen is really as ‘kind and fair’ as he seems.
In addition to Sarutobi Asuma, the other guard ninja of the Fire Country envoy is also very eye-catching.
It is a bald monk!
However, judging from the aura emanating from him, the other party is not an ordinary ninja, and should be from the Fire Temple.
Both of them are guardian ninjas.
The direct organization of this daimyo has a very obvious symbol.
The waist cloth with the word ‘fire’ on the waist can tell the identity at a glance.
The reason why the forehead protector is not used is that the daimyo does not want to copy the ninja, so he deliberately uses this thing as the organization symbol.
There is only one monk who serves as a guardian ninja.
Dilu!
It is the future abbot of the Fire Temple, who is also known as the ‘talent of the fairy clan’.
Good guy, Tang Ping exclaimed that he is a good guy!
The Fire Country also has talents. They sent guardian ninjas on missions, and one of them is two guys with extraordinary backgrounds.
A second-generation shadow and a future host of the Fire Temple, neither of them is an ordinary person.
As for the Land of Water and the Land of Wind, the guarding ninjas were all new faces, but their strength was not bad, either special jonin or jonin level.
As mentioned before, the status of jonin is considered middle-level even in ninja villages, and the daimyo must have few of them, but they still chose to send them out, which was also considered to be "showing off their muscles" to the castle tower.
Dohei leaned lazily on the chair and said:
"It is an honor for the castle tower to have the honor of visiting the envoys!"
He didn't look honored at all, as if he was just perfunctory to give face.
Well, he did it on purpose.
He had to swallow his anger before when he didn't have the strength, and now he has to swallow his anger now that he has the strength. Isn't his strength in vain? .
Anyway, as long as he is unwilling to give up the Land of Tea, he will definitely fall out with the nobles, so he doesn't pretend at all.
Besides, he doesn't want to pretend.
Facing those who are stronger than him, he doesn't mind pretending, as he did before.
But the nobles are not worthy.
So he put on this attitude.
This attitude naturally made the envoys representing the daimyo feel offended.
"Bold!"
The envoy of the Land of Fire stood up and scolded immediately.
He had been furious long before he came on the mission.
First of all, there was the problem of the Land of Tea. They had written to Konoha to ask for an explanation, but there was no movement from the other side, so they had to send an envoy.
Then the other party did not come to greet them.
You know, they represent the daimyo. If the other party dares not to greet them today, they dare not think about what they will do tomorrow, so they have already secretly communicated and must teach the castle tower a lesson.
Now, seeing the other party's attitude again, how could the envoy of the Land of Fire not take the opportunity to vent his anger.
And the other party's scolding also triggered a chain reaction.
