"If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to just buy them all?"

Sakura suggested.

"No, if I buy them all, I won't have any money left to buy painting tools."

Compared to his requirements for ninja tools, Sakai's requirements for painting tools are no less than those for ninja tools, and are even more picky. This makes the purchase of painting tools a large expense in his daily expenses.

Moreover, the selling price of ninja swords forged from chakra metal is extremely expensive, which cannot be compared with ninja tools such as kunai and shuriken.

"That's it."

Sakura nodded and said nothing more.

On the other side, seeing Sakura chatting quietly with Zuoi, Naruto's eyes suddenly burst into flames of jealousy.

Just when he was about to step forward and interrupt their communication, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside, grabbed Naruto's shoulders, and shouted with great joy:

"You are a ninja of Konoha! Great, you are finally here. The daimyo has been waiting for you for a long time!"

This sudden scene made Naruto freeze on the spot in astonishment.

"Hey, wait, grandpa, who are you? You must have recognized the wrong person, right?"

The man who ran over and grabbed his shoulders in front of him was about fifty years old, his hair was starting to turn gray, and he looked happy, as if he was crying with joy.

But Naruto was sure that he did not recognize the old man in front of him, and was confused for a moment.

"You're not mistaken, I'm looking for you Konoha ninjas! Come with me quickly to see the Daimyo-sama!"

With that said, the old man was about to pull Naruto out of the ninja shop.

"etc!"

Sakura and Sakai came over and stopped the old man from making any further moves.

Sakura looked at the old man with vigilant eyes and said, "We are indeed Konoha's ninjas, but who are you and why are you here for us?"

When the old man saw Sakura and Sakai, he knew that his actions were too rude, so he let go of Naruto, coughed, and replied seriously: "I am a retainer serving the Daimyo of the Country of Chi. Now the Daimyo has

It's important. I urgently need to see you Konoha ninjas, please follow me."

"Lord Daimyo?"

Sakura and Sawai looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

I don't understand what's going on at all, why it suddenly involves the daimyo of Chi Country.

The shop owner, who was drowsy at the entrance of the ninja shop, heard the conversation of several people and opened his eyes slightly. Then he closed his eyes as if nothing happened and continued to take a nap while lying on the old man's chair.

◎

Daming Mansion.

The Daimyo of Ikeda Country is a man in his thirties with a rather rich figure. The gorgeous clothes he wears give people a bloated look.

On both sides of his body, there is a beautiful girl with a charming expression, her eyes are charming and her attitude is extremely obedient, serving the daimyo.

Naruto and Sakura looked slightly unnatural when they saw this scene.

They always felt that the current scene gave them an out-of-place feeling and was a bit explosive.

My impression of the name of the Country of Chi was directly reduced by three points.

Only Sakai seemed to be used to this, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

"You Konoha ninjas are finally here. Now I have an important task for you to do. That is to help me quickly suppress all the rebellious people in the country!"

The Daimyo of the Country of Ikea ate the fruit brought by the maid, while holding a folding fan, he gave orders to the three Narutos as a superior.

Although the power of Konoha Village is powerful, as an employer, the Daimyo of the Country of Ikea has no respect for the ninjas of Konoha Village. He just gives orders to his subordinate samurai.

"Um, Lord Daimyo... have you made a mistake? We have not received a mission about the Country of Chi. Moreover, we are only passing through the Country of Chi and will return to the village soon."

Although the attitude of the Daimyo of the Country of Ikea was a little bad, considering that he was the lord of a country, if he spoke harshly, it would easily leave a bad impression on the other party, so Sakura had to try to keep her tone calm and at the same time use

He gave Sakai a signal with his eyes, telling him to hold Naruto down and not let Naruto come up and cause trouble.

"Are you kidding me? The letter of authorization was clearly sent to your Konoha Village three days ago. Are you telling me this now to ruin the reputation of the Hokage?"

The Daimyo of Chi Country frowned, pushed away the maids serving him on both sides, and glanced at Sakura with some displeasure, thinking that the other party was playing a trick on him.

"We didn't mean that, but we really didn't receive the mission about the Country of Chi... I think the Konoha ninja who took over the mission entrusted by the Daimyo should be someone else, not our team."

Sakura explained patiently.

This kind of accidental situation occasionally happens.

For example, when a ninja completed a mission and returned to the village, he passed through a certain country and met a client who happened to entrust Konoha ninjas to do something. As a result, they mistakenly thought that the team rushing back to Konoha was the ninja who took on their mission.

squad.

The situation today is similar. The Konoha ninjas who took over the mission from the Country of Chi were not their seventh squad, but another unit.

In situations like this, generally speaking, you can just ignore it.

But it can't be done right now. Although the rules are correct, if you really follow the rules and leave directly, you may ruin the name of the Country of Chi.

As the monarch of a country, it can be said that he has the power of life and death in the country. Explaining it personally will make it appear more sincere.

After all, depending on the identity of the client, it is occasionally necessary to weigh the pros and cons and cannot be generalized.

Rules are rigid, and problems encountered in reality often require flexibility to effectively solve them.

What Sakura meant made the Daimyo of Chi no Kuni's brows gradually relax, and he seemed a little unsure.

"Are you really not the Konoha ninjas who came to assist me?"

"Yes, our team is on its way back to Konoha and is just passing through here. The Konoha ninja who has accepted the daimyo's mission should be on the way here."

Sakura couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Daimyo of the Country of Chi had finally listened to what he said.

The great master of the Country of Chi looked at the retainer standing next to him. It was this man who led Naruto and the three of them here. He gave him a fierce look, as if he was blaming him for finding the wrong person.

The old retainer lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at the Daimyo of Chi Country, and realized his mistake.

Naruto and the other three are not the Konoha ninjas he is looking for.

At this moment, a warrior walked in from outside the palace.

He walked to the center of the hall and knelt down in front of the leader of the Kingdom of Chi.

"Lord Daimyo, a Konoha ninja named Yamato is outside asking for a meeting."

"Yamato?"

The Daimyo of the Country of Chi glanced at Naruto and the others.

"He is the leader of our team."

Sakura answered.

The Daimyo of Chi Country held a folding fan and tapped his head lightly, as if he was thinking about something seriously.

"Bring him in."

"yes."

The warrior took the order and went down.

After a while, the samurai led Tianzang into the main hall.

Seeing that Naruto and the other three were fine, Tenzo nodded slightly to them, then his eyes fell on the Daimyo of the Country of Chi, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, Daimyo."

"Are you a Jounin of Konoha?"

The Daimyo of Chi Country didn't pay attention to Tenzo's salute, but asked this question.

"Yes."

Tianzang responded neither humble nor arrogantly.

Tenzo, who is well-informed, naturally understands what the current situation is. It is simply that the retainers of the Daimyo of the Country of Ikea have found the wrong person, mistaking Team 7 for the Konoha ninjas who have taken the mission. But what they really want to find is

The Konoha ninjas are still on their way and have not arrived at the Country of Chi.

"Do you understand the current situation?"

"I can guess a little bit. So please forgive me, Lord Daimyo. I think the Konoha team that will take over the mission will arrive soon."

The implication is that Team 7 will not get involved in the mission of the Country of Chi.

Firstly, this is against the rules and disrupts the task system. Secondly, it will also cause some disagreements among colleagues.

For Tianzang, it is natural to get rid of such troubles as soon as possible.

"But the current situation is critical, and some unexpected situations may occur at any time here in the castle..." The Daimyo of Chi Country seemed hesitant, "It's better than this. I'll pay you double the reward of Konoha. It's a temporary contract. Your team,

Let’s also participate in this mission.”

Providing double the remuneration, that is to say, the remuneration allocated to the original team has not been reduced. In this way, disagreements between colleagues can be avoided.

After all, this so-called discrepancy is, in most cases, based on unreasonable distribution of remuneration, causing major problems.

For most Konoha ninjas, their mission is to support their families, and they do not want any reward from their mission to be diminished.
