Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 146: The Bait of Trial

In the most likely case, if it is a big customer, then naturally you need to deal with him politely. Even if you take a step back and say that there is really something fishy or problematic about his identity, as long as the mission is real and the benefits can be seen and obtained, then there is no need to have any hesitation. Not to mention Takigakure Village, any other small or medium-sized ninja village in the ninja world will have the same attitude.

The only one who followed closely beside Shibuki at the beginning and then sat opposite Menma and the other man was the turbaned man who looked at them with scrutiny and caution from beginning to end, as if Menma was his enemy.

This made Menma frown slightly.

But after hearing Shibuki's introduction of this senior ninja, Menma showed no expression on the surface, but he suddenly realized it in his heart.

"So it's this guy!"

After all, he was just a minor villain boss in a fragment of the plot, so Menma naturally couldn't remember his appearance very clearly. But as soon as Shibuki mentioned his name, Menma could naturally associate him with him. Isn't this the guy who betrayed Takigakure Village in the original work and brought outsiders such as Rain Ninja and Soup Ninja to invade his own ninja village again?

Judging from this, this guy is not dissatisfied with them, but with this young leader.

Menma thought silently in his heart, and then he said with a smile on his face: "Haha, you are too polite, Chief. I am Accelerator, and this is Misaka Mikoto. We are now serving under Lord Tsuchikata. This time I came to your village because the Minister, no, to be more precise, the Daimyo has a mission that needs to be assigned to your village. The preliminary level is A-level, but it may also be S-level."

Although it was expected that this would be a 'big cargo' mission.

But when I heard it from Menma's mouth.

Shibuki couldn't help but become excited.

This is not just a matter of mission share, but also involves establishing relationships with high-level politicians of the Fire Nation!
For the Ninja Village.

Long-term and stable task share is the most important.

What's the use of one or two tasks?

What the ninja village needs is a long-term supply of resources. Takigakure will certainly support its own ninja village, but that is limited after all. If Takigakure Village needs further development, or to be more precise, to return to its former peak, it must have all-round resource support.

Moreover, for Shibuki, he had just taken over the position of leader not long ago, and he needed some political achievements to prove himself. If he could connect with the high-ranking politicians, nobles, and even the daimyo of the Land of Fire to win a fixed share of tasks for his own ninja village, wouldn't this be something worth celebrating! ?
At this moment, Shiyan, who was standing next to him, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes became slightly dangerous.

"Can you tell me what the mission is first? Yifang-san?"

Shibuki suppressed his excitement, pretended to be calm as he looked at Menma and asked.

"Haha, of course. This mission is a search mission. The targets are the following people. It doesn't mean that you have to find all of them, but the more you find, the higher the completion rate will be."

As Menma spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and threw it directly at Shibuki in the opposite position.

Shibuki was not on guard at all, or rather he did not believe that anyone in their Takigakure Village would dare to directly plot against him, the leader.

He simply caught it with his backhand and unfolded it for a look.

When the request to search for a person in the front position came into view.

The leader of Takigakure Village fixed his eyes.

"this?"

There was a hint of hesitation revealed subconsciously.

"Why? Your village can't execute it?"

Menma smiled and looked at Shibuki with a calm expression. "No, of course not. We in Takigakure can carry out this mission, but we can't guarantee its completion. After all, it has been so many years. May I ask if there is a time limit?"

After a pause, Shibuki handed the scroll to Shisha in the position below, and asked Menma with a serious expression.

"If the matter has not happened recently, why would we entrust you with it? As for the time limit, well, neither the daimyo nor the ministers have made it clear, but the shorter the better. There is no need to say too much. At least within three months, there must be some results to justify it. Don't you think so, Mr. Leader?"

Menma still looked calm and raised three fingers of his right hand, speaking in a light tone.

"Half of the remuneration can be paid according to the A-level standard. The rest will be paid one by one according to the progress. The remuneration standard can be increased at any time. Moreover, Your Excellency, this is only the first time. You should understand what I mean."

This is the meaning revealed between the lines.

Even the inexperienced Shibuki could hear it clearly, not to mention the hookah beside him.

This is clearly a bait that was thrown out directly.

Menma is getting more and more skilled at this kind of thing, such as empty-handed Taibailang and writing blank checks. Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about being exposed, right?

If someone really sees through me, the worst that can happen is that I just run away.

Mian Ma knows what he is doing very well. He is just fishing with a straight hook. Those who are willing will take the bait. Mian Ma has enough confidence that the other party will definitely do what he wants.

as predicted.

As Menma finished speaking.

Shibuki was visibly excited. As someone who had just taken over the position of leader within the past year, he really needed a bigger political achievement to stabilize his position, so that he could better control the village and live up to the trust of the previous leader. After all, he did not have any outstanding achievements in the past to be qualified as the leader. One reason was that he was the grandson of the previous leader, and he had a good reputation in the village.

Apart from that, in terms of strength, he can barely be considered a special jonin in terms of prestige.

Oh, oh, oh.

It cannot be said that it does not exist at all, but it can be said that it almost does not exist.

Therefore, his position as leader was very unstable. Even those Taki ninjas who obeyed the orders of the previous leader and were willing to support Shibuki were still skeptical.

"Then we will..."

In a fit of excitement, Shimu decided to reveal his true colors.

And that's at this moment.

"It's not that this mission is impossible to do, but I have some questions. I wonder if Yifang-san can answer them?"

Shisha in the opposite position also glanced at the contents on the scroll, her eyes fixed, and she looked straight at Menma in the opposite position and asked in a slightly low voice.

He didn't care at all that his action just now interrupted Shibuki's words.

Shimu's expression also changed, but he restrained himself. As simple as he was, he knew that family disgrace should not be made public.
