Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 147: Initial Intentions Achieved Smoothly (Part )
"Oh? If you have any questions, feel free to ask, Shisha-san."

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

"Ichifang-san just said that this was an order from your Daimyo, so why didn't you issue this mission directly to Konohagakure? As the largest ninja village in the ninja world, Konohagakure has more ninjas and intelligence gathering capabilities than Takigakure. Logically speaking, it would be easier for Konohagakure to carry out such a mission than for us. Why didn't your Daimyo 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 the Land of Earth.

The Hidden Cloud Country and the Land of Lightning.

The Hidden Mist and the Land of Water.

The Country of Sunagakure and Wind.

From the outside, there is a direct binding relationship between the five major countries and the five major ninja villages. Every year, the five major ninja villages receive a large amount of material and financial support from the countries behind them. Then, from high-level politicians and nobles to any ordinary citizen, as long as there is a mission requirement, it is basically only issued to the ninja village of their own country.

This is a practice of bundling interests.

It is also a recognized practice.

Ordinary people and some businessmen who travel around the world do often make exceptions and hire ninjas from other ninja villages, but such a mission issued by a high-level national leader is unlikely to appear in a ninja village that does not belong to the country.

Because this is an essential difference.

It is an act that can easily affect the relationship between the country and the ninja village.

There are good reasons to be skeptical about hookah.

"Haha, so this is the confusion. Why do employers need to explain this issue when they come to the ninja village to issue tasks? Or does Takigakure Village not want to take this task? That's no problem. We can change to another ninja village. It doesn't have to be Takigakure Village. I hope Shuiyan-san understands this."

Of course, understanding is one thing.

Whether to explain or not is another matter.

At the very least, Menma must first grasp the opponent.

This deliberate sudden cooling of attitude was even followed by a slight snort.

Let’s not even mention the young Shibuki.

Shuiyan's face changed. He wanted to strive for the dominant position in the village, which was fine, but the more he wanted to do so, the more he could not cause trouble on some key issues. After he confirmed that there was no problem with the identities of Mianma and others, he naturally did not want to offend Mianma.

This is not simply a big customer, but a question of a share of the tasks that a country may incline towards in the future.

However, it was precisely because of this that Shisha felt that she needed to understand it more clearly. Since Konoha was involved, it would definitely not be a small problem.

It sounds contradictory, but it is true.

"Please don't misunderstand me, Yifang-san. Shuiyan-san is just curious. Shuiyan-san, you are being rude!"

Shibuki, who was sitting in the main seat, first apologized to Ma, then looked at Shisha with a rare stern look and said.

"Ah, well, I am sorry for being rude. Please forgive me, I-san."

After taking a deep breath, Shisha lowered her head slightly and apologized.

"However, this is a problem that involves Konoha after all. I hope Fangfang-san can give us some advice. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us in Takigakure Village."

Shibuki is just inexperienced and has a soft personality, but he is definitely not a rookie or a fool. There is no way such a person could become the leader of a village. This is a serious issue involving thousands of ninjas and is no joke.

I just didn't react for a moment.

After the hookah opens.

Shibuki was naturally aware of this aspect of the problem. After apologizing first, Shibuki also restarted the topic and asked Menma with a slightly serious look. Menma was also prepared, but on the surface he deliberately frowned, looked at the two of them with a very unhappy expression, and then slowly nodded and said: "Okay, since the leader 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?"

Daimyoji and shadow.

Country and ninja village.

How complicated the relationship here is.

Shibuki and Shuiyan, who are also high-ranking members of the ninja village, of course know that the ninjas of their villages only obey the country and the daimyo in name only.

In reality, everyone knows it clearly.

Not to mention, the Land of Fire and Konoha.

The details of the internal strife among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas who once served directly under the daimyo were known only to insiders, but people from the outside world were still able to obtain some scraps of information, and Takigakure Village was no exception.

Menma's words seemed to sound very vague.

But with just this one sentence, they think they understand everything.

The two looked at each other.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Shibuki said, "Well, if you say so, I understand. But can you give me a little time to think about it?"

"Of course it's okay to give him some time, but I want to remind you, Lord Shibuki, that since I already know some extra information, I hope to get a satisfactory answer. Lord Shibuki should understand what I mean, right?"

At this moment, Menma changed his previous calm attitude and revealed an aggressive attitude.

Shibuki is fine.

Shisha's brows were obviously frowned.

But the tougher Menma's attitude became at the moment, the less Shibuki and Shisha would think about it.

"Yeah, I understand."

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

Shisha also stood up and followed.

Menma looked like he didn't care at all. He picked up the teacup beside him and sipped his tea again.

Karin, who had remained silent from the beginning until now, glanced at Menma briefly, 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 of them had a calm expression, while the other had a slightly grim expression.

Just as Menma's gaze shifted to the two of them.

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

"Very good. I knew that Lord Shibuki would bring me good news. Then, you should also be aware of the confidentiality of this mission?"

Menma said with a smile on his face.

"Well, I understand. Please rest assured, Ichifang-san. Please also tell the daimyo and the ministers that Takigakure will not let them down."

Shibuki said with a serious look on his face.

"That's good. This is the agreed deposit. We will send people to contact you regularly in the future. Even if your village has any gains, you don't need to contact us. The reason should be clear to you, Chief."

"Ok!"
