My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 172: Kingdom of Waves

The next day, at the Hokage Building, at the mission assignment office.

"Although it's just a C-rank mission, but..."

The client, gardener Di Temple, did not reveal anything on his face, but his eyes moved around among the four children.

As a non-ninja, he had no idea about the situation inside the ninja world, so he was confused about the fact that he was protected by four minors.

After all, common sense dictates that even for the lowest level of production tasks, there should be an adult ninja accompanying you.

"Don't worry, Link is the most talented ninja in our village."

The Sandaime Hokage smiled and skillfully attached the prefix "most" to his juniors.

It's just like Iruka boasting that he is the strongest Hokage.

Although he is a shadow, he is also a ninja. He is always very nice to his sponsors. As long as it does not delay making money, nothing else matters.

Di Si looked at him hesitantly, said nothing, and said, "Okay, then I'll leave my safety to you."

"Please rest assured." Link said seriously, and he must maintain a correct professional attitude.

After Cardo was defeated, the Wave Country received some tasks one after another. No matter how poor that place is, labor is also a resource. After all, it is an island country. Even if it only produces some grains, fruits, and seafood, it can still make money.

Otherwise, why would Cardo control the Kingdom of Waves? It was all for money.

After a brief conversation, the four of them escorted the client, Di Si, out of the task assignment office and quickly left the village.

The Land of Waves is not far from Konoha Village, it can even be said to be quite close. Even if one travels at the speed of an ordinary person, if one sets out in the morning, one can reach the border in the afternoon.

Because this small country was notoriously poor and there were no ninjas, the client, Di Si, did not raise any objections even though he doubted the protection capabilities of the four small men.

As long as ordinary ronin and gangsters are not large-scale, they do not pose much threat to the Genin.

The journey was unexpectedly quiet, and it felt similar to Link's first mission outside the village. Just like an outing, there were occasional prying eyes, but they quickly disappeared. It was too close to Konoha Village, and it would be difficult to attack the ninja.

Even if someone was bold enough to attack the Konoha ninja, it would definitely be within the borders of the Land of Waves, not the Land of Fire.

As a gardener, Di Si was in pretty good physical condition. After noon, when the sun had just begun to set, they came to the beach.

A cross-sea bridge that was built just last year spans the Wave Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. There are many carriages and pedestrians coming and going, and it looks quite lively.

In the past, if you wanted to enter the Land of Waves, you had to take a ship, which was a bit troublesome, and there were also shipping companies in Cardo that acted as obstacles, making it too dangerous for ordinary people.

Now that there is a road to travel and it is a relatively peaceful small country, some residents of the Fire Nation will go there to travel, which can be regarded as a boost to some economic development.

After crossing the cross-sea bridge, you enter the border of the Land of Waves. In the world of Naruto, there is no such thing as national borders or passports that allow people to enter and exit freely. Small countries do not have such strong border control capabilities, not to mention that there are no ninjas here, so it is very loose.

Di Temple's target is the mangrove forest. He was also commissioned by someone who needed a gardener at the house there and offered a pretty good price. He originally lived in a town near Tansho Street and happened to pass by Konoha Village on his way to the Land of Waves.

Thinking that it might not be safe to go back and forth, he simply spent some money in Konoha Village to hire ninjas to protect him here and then protect him back.

A few hours after entering the Land of Waves, they arrived at a town near the mangroves. The currency used here was the Land of Fire, the customs and habits were similar to those of the Land of Fire, and the appearance of the residents was no different from that of the Land of Fire...

Link felt that there seemed to be no difference from when he was in the country.

Just a little poor.

The various shops that can be seen everywhere in the towns of the Fire Country are very limited here, and there is only one hotel, which looks quite shabby from the outside. The busiest places are the vegetable stores and butcher shops.

I didn't see any entertainment stores. There were some telephone poles, but I didn't see the antennas that were everywhere in Konoha Village. To put it bluntly, there probably aren't any televisions or TV channels here.

Compared to the Fire Nation, it feels like they are no longer from the same era.

The sun was setting, and Di Si had no intention of staying in the town to rest, but instead stressed the need to get to his employer's house as quickly as possible.

The client was in a hurry, so the ninja had nothing to say and followed him along the mangroves. An hour after leaving the town, the sky turned red and they saw the house of the gardener's employer.

Many of the architectural styles in the Land of Waves are very interesting. Take the employer's house as an example. It is a house built on a tree. It has a gyroscope-like structure and a total of six floors. The nearby trees are as tall as the trees in the Land of Fire.

Link has almost gotten used to it since he came here. He didn't know if such tall trees existed in his previous life, but they are everywhere in this world.

The growth rate is very fast. A planted tree can grow to several meters high in three or four months, and a tree that is about two years old can be almost twenty or thirty meters high.

Several walls were built outside the yard, but the effect was not very good. It looked like a kind of wall that could only protect against gentlemen but not against villains. They were not even as tall as the trees in the yard.

The ground was covered with knee-high grass, and a man-made dirt path led to the house.

The entire yard probably covers an area of several kilometers. It seems that the employer of Di Si is quite rich and inhumane.

[However, why do I feel like this place has something to do with Cardo...]

Link was walking on the dirt road, thinking to himself that the building didn't look new. Such a luxurious building, a house with a huge area, was built on the edge of the mangrove forest, a famous scenic spot in the Land of Waves.

When Cardo was alive, did he really allow other rich people to live so comfortably under his nose?

They came to the employer's building, and the tattooed man who was smoking downstairs put out his cigarette butt and walked over and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? This is private territory--"

"!" He took a half step back when he saw the forehead protector of Konoha Village, with a clear expression of fear on his face.

"Is Mr. Xiezi here? I am Disi, the gardener he hired." Disi showed the contract in his hand.

The tattooed man swallowed his saliva and did not come over to verify. He stuttered and said, "Well, wait for me, I'll go call him."

Di Si had a relatively calm expression just now, but when he saw the tattooed man going upstairs, he showed a bit of nervousness and whispered, "Although Mr. Xiezi gave me an advance deposit, but..."

He recalled the ferocious look of the tattooed man just now and said, "No matter what, please protect me. Please."

"Don't worry, leave it to us." Link consoled them, saying, "They are just ordinary people. Even if there were a hundred or eighty of them, they would not be a match for one of us."

"Don't worry, Mr. Disi, we will definitely ensure your safety."
