Chapter 27 You Don’T Want Me To Help Other Villages With Tasks, Right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't expect that Lin Yan came to see him specifically to talk about this matter.

He stared at Lin Yan for a while, shook his head and said calmly: "To accept tasks in this village, you need to be a villager of Konoha Village. Only ninjas who have been certified and tested in Konoha Village can do it."

"But you are not from us here, and you are not a ninja."

He shook his head again and took a drag on his pipe.

"Does it matter?"

"As long as I can solve your troubles and complete the mission, that's it, right?"

Lin Yan spread his hands and said indifferently.

There was nothing wrong with this. After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent and took another puff of cigarette silently.

After a while, he said slowly: "You are not a ninja from Konoha Village. I don't trust me if I leave the task to you."

"So, it's clear enough, you are also a smart person..."

"I just need some tasks that can support myself. If it doesn't involve confidential tasks, you have nothing to worry about, right?"

"If this can't satisfy me, then it will be very difficult for me!"

Lin Yan suddenly showed an intriguing expression and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen meaningfully.

The look in his eyes made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel slightly chilled.

At this time, Lin Yan said with a half-smile: "You don't want me to perform tasks for other ninja villages, right?"

"The only ones we might deal with are you Konoha Village ninjas."

"Are you threatening me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.

"It doesn't really count."

Lin Yan smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just stating a possible fact to you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the young man in front of him and narrowed his eyes again.

He had just finished listening to Uchiha Itachi's report during the day.

I learned that Lin Yan was actually very skilled and not an ordinary person at all.

His mysterious physical technique "Marine Six Styles" is both offensive and defensive, combining strength, speed and excellent defense.

Even the genius Uchiha Itachi would have a hard time dealing with this kind of opponent.

Even according to Itachi's own words, he couldn't beat this man at the moment.

In other words, he is at least Elite Jōnin or above.

If this kind of person uses it well, it will be a sharp sword in Konoha and can pose a very serious threat to hostile forces.

But if such a powerful existence turns against Konoha, then it will be their turn for Konoha to have a headache...

After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to make a compromise.

"I will try to arrange some low-level tasks for you. The pay will be the same as that of a normal ninja. Anyway, it will definitely not be lower than the average income level of our Konoha Shinobi Village."

"You can get a very good living here."

"But before that I need to find some teammates for you. After all, ninjas never act alone."

"As for you, then become a foreign ninja for hire in our Konoha Shinobi Village."

"I will sign a long-term contract with you later..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind was spinning very quickly.

He is worthy of becoming the Third Hokage and controlling the government of Konoha for decades.

At this point he quickly gave a solution to the problem.

After listening to this, Lin Yan thought about it. For him, bullshit short-term contracts and long-term contracts are all dispensable.

As long as you don't admit it, it's just a piece of paper.

So it doesn’t matter if you sign or not.

He just wanted to experience what it was like to be like a ninja in this world, performing those secret missions.

By the way, you can also earn a lot of money to support yourself.

Why not do it?

"Okay, then I'll come find you tomorrow."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Oh, by the way, I don't think it's necessary if you're a member of the team, right?"

"I'm used to being alone."

He turned back to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time, the latter was holding a pipe in his mouth and staring at Lin Yan with burning eyes.

"I sent someone to be by your side to supervise you, and also to guide you."

These figures vary in height, fat and thin, and each of them is wearing Anbu's sleeveless vest and animal mask.

Looking at his back as he turned away, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly leaned back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously the Anbu escort directly under the Hokage.

"Kakashi, Itachi, you two will team up with him starting tomorrow."

Anbu training is not easy.

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, Kakashi and Itachi stood up at the same time, half-kneeling on the ground: "Understood."

After listening, Lin Yan smiled.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.

Kakashi and Itachi heard this and nodded again to show their understanding.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded: "Let's start with the B-level mission first to test his ability to perform the mission."

"Monitor his every move closely and report to me at any time!"

The reason why I didn't take action just now was because Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't give the order.

It's so straightforward because Lin Yan is not from Konoha Village, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

But the moment she came in, Kakashi, Itachi and the others all disappeared.

Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision and looked at the two figures, one tall and one short, among the group of Anbu escort members in front of him.

Each one is a valuable talent and high-end combat capability of the village.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a long-haired beauty wearing glasses walked in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words are actually equivalent to playing a bright card.

"You are not from Konoha Village, but the mission you perform represents Konoha's position. You don't want your mission to be exposed, causing the employer behind it to surface and let the enemy know, right?"

"Your worries are reasonable, then it's up to you to make arrangements."

At this time, several figures appeared in the office.

The standard item on the back is a Short Sword.

"There is no need to add extraneous details."

Although he said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen's original intention was actually to protect his subordinates.

"Afterwards, if it is determined that he is competent, the difficulty of some tasks will be appropriately increased."

“Speak directly if you have something to say, without beating around the bush, so that everyone doesn’t need to pay too much communication cost.”

One of the women, Anbu, asked.

"Honestly, I really like your way of communicating, Third Hokage."

After saying that, Lin Yan left the Hokage office.

It sounds like they discovered Lin Yan's approach early on.

"Ninjas sometimes need certain skills and experience to perform tasks. Without these, it is easy to fall into danger."

He calmly took another puff of cigarette, and then slowly explained: "This person's strength is extraordinary, but he does not pose a threat to us at the moment."

"Third Hokage-sama, do you need us to catch up and kill that guy?"

"No need."

If they are used to deal with Lin Yan, the losses may be huge. The key is that Lin Yan has not shown direct hostility to Konoha. The cost is not worth the loss.
