Chapter 147 The initial intention was achieved smoothly (the third update)

"Oh? If you have any questions, Hookah-san, feel free to ask."

Menma was not surprised at all by Shisha's sudden question. He looked at Shisha attentively and said in a calm tone.

"Fangfang-san just said that this is an order from His Highness the Daimyo of your country, so why is this task not directly issued to the Hidden Leaf Village? As the largest ninja village in the ninja world today, the number of ninjas that Konoha has, the intelligence The collection ability is far beyond that of our Takigakure Village. Logically speaking, it would be easier for Konoha to carry out such a task than for us. Why doesn’t His Highness the Daimyo of your country do this? "

Shisha leaned forward slightly and asked Menma in a deep voice with a torture-like attitude.

This is also an obviously predictable development.

Konoha and the Land of Fire.

Iwagakure and Earth Country.

Kumogakure and the Land of Thunder.

Kirigakure and the Land of Water.

The land of Sunagakure and Wind.

In the eyes of the outside world, the five major countries and the five major ninja villages are directly bound to each other. Every year, the five major ninja villages receive a large amount of material and financial support from the countries behind them, and then reach out to high-level political figures. , nobles, down to any common people, as long as they have mission requirements, they are basically only released to the ninja village of their own country.

This is a form of interest bundling.

It is also an accepted practice.

Ordinary people, as well as some businessmen who travel around the world, do often make some exceptions and hire ninjas from other ninja villages, but such a task release from a high-level political figure in a country is unlikely to appear in a ninja village that does not belong to the country.

Because this is the essential difference.

It is an act that can easily affect the relationship between the country and the Ninja Village.

Hookah has plenty of reason to be skeptical.

"Haha, it turns out that this is the confusion. Why do the employers still need to explain this aspect when they come to Ninja Village to issue tasks? Or is it that Takigakure Village doesn't want to take on this task? That's no problem. We can completely change to another Ninja Village. , it doesn’t have to be your Takiyin Village, please understand this, Shuiyan-san.”

Of course, understanding is one aspect.

Whether to explain or not is another matter.

At the very least, Menma must first grasp the opposite side.

This deliberate sudden coldness in attitude was followed by a slight snort.

Don’t mention the young Shibuki.

Shisha's expression changed. He wanted to fight for the dominance of the village, which was no problem, but the more so, the less likely he was to make trouble on some key issues. After he also confirmed the identities of Menma and others, In the case of any problem, naturally he does not want to offend Menma.

This is not a simple big patron, but a question of a country's share of tasks that may be tilted in the future.

However, it is precisely because of this that Shisha feels that he needs to know more clearly. If it involves Konoha, it will definitely not be a small problem.

It sounds contradictory, but it's true.

"Please don't get me wrong, Shuiyan-san. Shuiyan-san is just out of curiosity. Shuiyan-san, you're rude!"

Shibuki, who was on the throne, first apologized to Ma, and then looked at the shisha with a rare stern look and said.

"Ah, well, I was rude, please forgive me Fang Fangsang."

After taking a deep breath, Shisha also bowed his head slightly and apologized.

"However, this is an issue involving Konoha after all. I would like to ask Fangfang-san to give some hints. Otherwise, it will indeed be difficult for us in Takigakure Village."

Shibuki has little experience and a soft personality, but he is by no means a novice and idiot. It is impossible for such a person to become the leader of a village. This is a major issue involving thousands of ninjas and is definitely not a child's play.

I just couldn't react right now.

After the hookah opens.

Naturally, Shibaki would be aware of this issue. After apologizing in advance, Shibaki also restarted the topic and looked at Menma with a slightly serious look and asked.

Menma was also prepared, but on the surface he still frowned on purpose. After taking a deep look at the two of them with a very unhappy expression, he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, since the leader If your Excellency is so insistent, then I will say a little more, because His Highness does not want Konoha to know about this matter. So, do you understand? "

Daimyo and Kage.

Country and Ninja Village.

The relationship here is so complicated.

Of course Shibaki and Shisha, who are also high-level officials of the Ninja Village, will know that they, the ninjas of the Ninja Village, only obey the country and the daimyo in name only.

In fact, everyone knows what it is.

Not to mention, the Land of Fire and Konoha.

Although only insiders know the details of the internal strife among the twelve ninja who once directly belonged to the daimyo, outsiders can still get some scraps of information, and Takigakure Village is no exception.

Menma's words seemed to sound very vague.

But with just this sentence, they think they know everything.

The two people looked at each other.

After Shen Mu frowned and thought for a while, he said, "Well, I understand what Fang Sang said, but can you give me a little time to think about it?"

"Of course it's okay to give time, but I want to remind Mr. Shenmu that since I already know more about things, I hope to get a satisfactory answer. Mr. Shenmu should understand what I mean, right?"

At this moment, Menma changed from his previous peaceful posture to an aggressive one.

Shibuki was fine.

Shuiyan's brows were obviously furrowed.

But the tougher Menma's attitude was at the moment, the less Shibuki and Shuiyan thought about it.

"Yeah, I understand."

After Shibuki looked at Menma deeply, he turned his head and walked towards the small door at the back of the reception hall.

Shuiyan also stood up and followed.

Menma seemed to be completely unconcerned, picked up the teacup beside him, and sipped the tea again.

Xianglin, who had remained silent from the beginning to now, also glanced at Menma slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she remembered Menma's initial warning and continued to maintain an expressionless attitude.

On the other side, Shibuki and Shuiyan, who had left, returned to the reception hall in less than ten minutes.

One had a calm face, and the other had a slightly ugly face.

When Menma's eyes just shifted to the two of them.

Shibuki exhaled lightly, then nodded and said: "We, Takigakure Village, are willing to accept this mission and guarantee that we will complete His Highness's request in the shortest possible time."

"Very good, I knew that His Excellency Shibuki would definitely bring me good news, and then, His Excellency should also know the confidentiality of this mission?"

Menma said with a smile.

"Well, I understand, of course, please rest assured, Ichi-san, and please tell His Highness the Daimyo and the Minister that Takigakure Village will not let them down."

Shibuki said with a serious face.

"That's good, this is the agreed deposit, and we will send people to contact you regularly in the future. Even if your village has gains, you don't need to contact us actively. The reason should be clear to His Excellency the leader."

"Well!"
