I sell sweets in Konoha

"Even if it is true, how could I not know about it? You should know the consequences of lying to me with false information, right?"

"Hi! Orochimaru-sama." The minion was so frightened that he couldn't stand on his legs, knelt down and trembled and said, "It was my subordinate who made an oversight, but the mission briefing that was sent to me was like this, and even my subordinates didn't dare to do anything. Conceal it and send it up."

That minion really didn't hide anything. He really just saw the mission and felt that it must be Orochimaru-sama, so he sent it to him.

There is a trace of coldness and greed in Orochimaru's upright pupils. The information looks like a joke. The liar may be bold but he is not stupid after all. Because even if the scam is beautifully woven, it will be exposed one day, so liars often It's like taking a shot and changing places. You won't stay in one place for a long time.If you can't cheat, cheat. If you can't cheat, run away.And they usually choose some remote and relatively closed small countries. The Country of Waves is a small country but not closed and not remote. It is right next to the Country of Fire.Not to mention knowing everything about Konoha Village, but also knowing a little bit about the situation in Konoha Village.

This liar not only swaggers around the Country of Waves, but from the report, it seems that they intend to live in the Country of Waves for a long time.

What makes Orochimaru feel even more interesting is that this liar seems to have some strength. If they and Zabuza hadn't played a double act, then they directly defeated Zabuza and his men at the age of 11, which at least shows that these two Liars still have some strength.

So many doubts made Orochimaru a little curious. If the information was true, even if not all of it was true, only half of it was true.

Being able to defeat Zabuza easily at this age is enough to show that those two girls have a bright future and may be unborn geniuses.

He is young but very talented. Even if he does not have any special bloodline and cannot become his next body, he is still a very good warrior who can be recruited by his subordinates, enough to enhance the combat effectiveness of his subordinates.But should we go?It seems a little priceless to go there in person just for these two little liars.

Although being able to defeat Zabuza shows that their strength is indeed good, they are not short of young geniuses here.

"You." Orochimaru put away the mission scroll and threw it in front of his subordinates. "Go and give this mission to the five people. They haven't had any decent battles for too long. Go and tell them that it's best to give this mission to the five people." Bring back both the money and the commission. If there is really no way to bring both of them back, just bring back the head and the commission.”

Forget it, you don't need to care about such small things at all, they are just two brats who rely on their own strength to continue to fool around with the names of Uchiha and Senju.

Although these two brats are useless, their commissions are really good.

"Oh, right." Orochimaru suddenly thought of something and said, "Tell the five people that commission is the most important thing."

The daimyo of the Land of Waves and his Kado had also heard about it themselves. They came all the way to give themselves the task instead of looking for the closer Konoha. There was nothing else besides saving money.

After all, he and his Oto Ninja Village are rebel ninjas. Although he doesn't like the mission, Orochimaru doesn't want to suffer a loss in terms of money.

Chapter 10 Be proactive in your work

Although Junko already knew that under the instruction of the daimyo, Cardo had sent the mission letter to the Sound Ninja Village.

But the distance between Tian Country where the Sound Ninja Village is located and Wave Country is a bit far. One is at the southernmost point of the Fire Country and the other is at the northernmost point of the Fire Country.If the Sound Ninja wants to come to the Country of Waves, he must go straight through the Country of Fire, or take a detour around the entire Country of Fire to get to the Country of Waves.

The former has the shortest distance and the biggest problem. If you go straight through the Fire Country, you need to face the Konoha ninjas of the Fire Country.

This Konoha ninja is not a freeloader... Ah, although according to the performance in the original work, except for the protagonist team, they are a freeloader.But in reality, Konoha ninjas are quite capable. Otherwise, how could they secure their position as the leader of the five great ninja villages?

If you go straight through the entire Fire Country, you must face the Konoha ninjas. For the ninjas, there is nowhere to repair this kind of five-level logistics supply. Without a medical support team, they have to consider how to avoid unnecessary battles in cross-border operations.Therefore, although traveling through the entire Fire Country is fast, they would not choose to do so unless absolutely necessary. The other way is to take a detour to the Wave Country.

Although the journey is long, it is relatively safe. More importantly, the ninjas in the Land of Land are mostly rebel ninjas from various villages. The cost of traveling through the Land of Fire is relatively high. In comparison, small countries either do not have ninja villages or have ninja villages. The strength is weak, even if a battle occurs, it will not have much impact.

The only drawback is that it takes a long time to reach the Land of Waves because of the detour.

Junko ended her analysis by pointing to the map of the ninja world.

"What should I say?" Tomoko quickly gave his own conclusion and said: "This analysis feels a bit like a strong-mouthed king. It seems reasonable but there is a huge problem. That is why the sound ninja didn't choose to go straight through the entire fire. What about the country? Don’t forget that Sound Ninja is a village founded by Orochimaru. There are also many elites in it, especially the five Sound Ninjas in the early stage. These people are unlikely to put ninjas from other Ninja Villages. In the eyes.”

"So why didn't they choose to go straight through the Land of Fire instead of taking a detour? If Orochimaru was there in person, then he would have no reason to take a detour. Konoha Village is his back garden and he can come and leave as he pleases. And now we are not entering Konoha Village but just passing through."

After hearing this, Junko did not directly refute Junko's words. This time, it was considered a pre-war meeting to make some preparations for the upcoming battle.She just turned her gaze towards Zabuza.

For now, Zabuza is considered an important ally and a subordinate of his, so Junko will still listen to his opinions.

"For the five major countries, if they are not traitors and have no important value, they will not have any impact on the security of their own villages." Zabuza thought for a moment and replied, "Then the five major countries' choice is to monitor the whole process and not do anything. Additional actions. Therefore, if the ninjas sent by the Sound Ninja are not traitorous Ninjas from the Land of Fire, they will not do anything because they do not have any important information, and they will be allowed to leave across the border."

"But there's nothing to worry about." Zabuza seemed to feel that he could sense what Junko was worried about and said, "Even with the ninja's foot power, they will not arrive in the Land of Waves until two months at the earliest."

"After all, if it's not a very urgent mission, ninjas won't go all out. Traveling all day and night over such a long distance will basically mean you're short of men and horses. It's hard to get into battle quickly without some repairs."

"So compared to them, I think you should pay more attention to what's going on in the Fire Country."

"Why?" Tomoko didn't seem to think that the Fire Nation was a problem and asked, "Will the Fire Nation do anything to us? Cardo didn't invite the ninjas from the Fire Nation to come over and expel us. They won't come here on their own initiative. Are you going to get involved?"

"If it had been before, it would have been unlikely." Zabuza said, "But it's hard to say now that you have clearly displayed the banner of Senju and Uchiha."

"Ah..." Tomoko suddenly said a little dissatisfied: "Is this my fault?"

"Isn't this your fault?" Junko asked.

"Isn't it high-profile?" Tomoko said even more dissatisfied: "This was your original plan, to do things in a high-profile manner. Besides, we are not pretenders but are real people. Why can't we do it?"

'Acting in a high profile is not seeking death in a high profile! ' Junko complained in her heart.

But... forget it, Junko doesn't plan to argue with Tomoko about this matter. Although Tomoko's actions without consulting her are completely independent, she thinks that after this battle, various forces in the ninja world will really start to notice them. existence, in this case it would be better to make a name to attract Konoha's attention, which is much better than sneaking around blindly.

"In short, we have to face three aspects now." Junko changed the subject and said: "Foreign enemies, the enemies on the surface, the Sound Ninja who are about to arrive from Tian Country. The potential enemies may be the explorers coming from Konoha Village. Ninja, Enemy Within, Cardo and Daimyo.”

"Judging from the current situation, Cardo is an enemy that we must deal with first. I don't want our backyard to catch fire while we are fighting the enemy."

Although he hasn't fallen out with Cardo yet on the surface, he has actually broken up with Cardo, so when the ninjas from the Sound Ninja Village appear, they will definitely stab him in the back.Now to reduce pressure from the rear.

"For Cardo." Junko asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Just click." Tomoko raised the knife and said, "I'm talking about Junko, actually we don't need to think too much, Kaduo~ We actually don't waste too much experience on him, that's just a minion. He's dead and can't make any trouble."

"Cardo can die but not directly like this." Zabuza shook his head and said, "Cardo has been operating in the Land of Waves for many years and has a relationship with the Daimyo. If Cardo is killed directly, it will definitely cause trouble for the Daimyo of the Land of Waves. The reason why Kado went all the way to find the Sound Ninja Village to do this job instead of looking for the nearby Konoha Village was because it was not a clean job. He hired the traitor ninja himself, provided political asylum to the traitor ninja, but then asked ninjas from the five major countries to come over. Eliminating traitorous ninjas will be a huge blow to their credibility. It will be even more difficult to hire traitorous ninjas to work for them in the future."

"But if we kill Cardo directly, it will give the daimyo enough excuse to ask for help from the five major countries. Then we will be in trouble."

"Then how about we find a place to kill Kado secretly." Tomoko thought for a moment and then said: "Then find someone to impersonate him. Ordinary people like the Daimyo can't see through ninjutsu such as transformation. As long as On the surface, it just looks like Cardo is still alive."

"Although ordinary people can't distinguish ninjutsu such as transformation techniques." Zabuza rejected Tomoko's suggestion and said: "But for someone like Kado, there must be a backup plan. He must be the same as the daimyo. There are some secret words or proofs that even close confidants may not know. If the daimyo discovers that Cardo has been replaced, it will not be as simple as the death of a dog."

"For the daimyo, this means that the rebel ninja is out of control, and he may be the next one to be replaced, so he will definitely be extremely nervous and ask for help from the five major countries."

"You can't kill them, and you can't change them." Tomoko said a little distressed, "Then this is really a bit troublesome."

Indeed, the current Cardo is literally stuck in Junko's throat. Although it may not necessarily kill him, he cannot swallow it and cannot spit it out. It is stuck in his throat and you have to pay attention to him. It's really disgusting.

"What if we bypass Cardo and talk to the Daimyo directly?" Junko asked after thinking for a while.

"If you are not completely sure about sleeping with your daimyo." Zabuza said, "It is not recommended to do this. Although the daimyo doesn't care whether the person working under him is a rebel ninja or an ordinary ninja, the unified consensus on the traitor ninja is basically that you can use it. But you can't trust it. This is a double-headed sword that can hurt you at any time. One is pointed at the enemy and the other is pointed at yourself. Moreover, it is not a particularly good thing for the daimyo to tolerate the rebellious people of other countries. If other countries This can be used as an excuse to start a war."

"It would be fine if it were a small country similar in size to myself, but it would be very troublesome if it were one of the five major countries."

"So we need to find a middleman." Junko said with some understanding: "Cado is the middleman for the Daimyo of the Land of Waves. He can make the other end of the sword face a human shield across a layer, and then even if the five major countries are looking for trouble. You can quickly shift the blame without dragging yourself into a bigger crisis."

Zabuza nodded. This is probably one of the ways for a small country to survive. It is much cheaper to rebel than to support an entire ninja village. Taking in a rebel ninja can improve the country's military strength to a certain extent without attracting the attention of other countries. Be vigilant, and you can quickly clear up the relationship if something goes wrong.

It is an excellent choice for a small country like Wave Country that does not have a ninja village but does have some needs.

"But we still have to meet the Daimyo directly." Junko weighed the left and right for a while and said: "If this is gambling, then it is necessary to take a gamble."

"Tomoko, do you have a way for me to meet the daimyo through some formal channels?" Junko asked Tomoko.

Although Tomoko's combat effectiveness is not as good as hers, she seems to be quite good at intelligence and underground work.

"There's basically no chance of meeting the daimyo directly." Tomoko shook his head and said, "The daimyo won't meet us traitorous ninjas directly, but if we can prepare some gifts that the daimyo will appreciate in advance to show our sincerity, and then find a It’s not impossible to meet the Daimyo for a suitable reason.”

"But, what are you going to give as a gift to show your sincerity?"

what?This really stumped Junko. To be honest, she really couldn't come up with anything that looked particularly good right now.

"Actually, you can use your strengths." Seeing Junko's distressed look, Tomoko reminded: "Cook a luxurious meal or something to send to the daimyo. It is said that the daimyo is very fat and likes to eat. Since you can cook It’s better to just do what you like and start here.”

As soon as Tomoko finished speaking, Zabuza's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I am willing to go to the Daming Mansion in person and give him Miss Junko's gift."

Chapter 11 A gift to the Daimyo

Giving gifts to daimyo is indeed a bit troublesome. For Junko, it's not the trouble of cooking but the trouble of choosing.

If it is too luxurious, it will be difficult to prepare anything better when you formally meet. If it is too plain, it will not be noticed by others and it will be difficult to show your sincerity.

So after spending a long time deciding between something neither too luxurious nor too plain, Junko decided to take a different approach.

Of course, I don't mean to go eccentric by sending some overly exotic food to the Daimyo. Food, food, doesn't just mean 'delicious'. 'Beauty' is also an important part of it.

The so-called curiosity refers to things that have never appeared on the ninja continent.

So do you think there are any delicacies that have never appeared in the ninja continent?Oh, then don’t say it, yes!And there are quite a few.

The Ninja World Continent is an area that appeared based on Area 11 in the previous life. Well, you can say that in the previous life.Theoretically, it can be said here that most of the cultural customs, except for words, are no different from those in Area 11 in the previous life.So although the ninja world seems quite large and has different geographical environments and climatic conditions from south to north and east to west, it is relatively unified in terms of food culture.

In other words, it is monotonous. Whether it is the country of wind, which is mainly desert, or the country of thunder, which is mainly mountainous, their diet is mainly rice, and the main source of meat is basically all kinds of food. fish.

So if you want to give the Daimyo of Wave Country a knife to pull his butt and open his eyes, it’s quite easy.

Therefore, you just need to give him a set of things that could be considered exotic in his previous life. Of course, even if you want to make exotic things popular, you must have exotic things that they can quickly accept. It will be difficult to quickly accept anything that is too exotic. accept.

At this time, one of the characteristics of District 11 inherited from the previous life can be easily reflected.

Food appeared that was exotic, something that they could quickly accept, and that could also satisfy some of Junko's private needs.

That is India.

Ah San's delicacies seem to have been rated as a food desert in the Simplified Chinese Internet in the previous life. Their delicacies are basically all kinds of soup that look like they are sloppy on the plate, plus a lethal amount of marsala and spices. Anyway, let’s not talk about the incomplete periodic table of elements, but basically all the spices that can be found on the earth are included.But in fact, if you look at India without colored glasses and preconceived stances, there are still many good things about their food.

One item in particular has almost become the national cuisine of District 11.

curry!

Junko wasn't sure whether the high-ranking Daimyo of Wave Country, who never appeared once in the original novel, had ever eaten curry, but she was certain that people from Wave Country would definitely make that kind of thing.Because Junko had already seen a shop specializing in curry rice on the streets of Wave Country. Although it was on the verge of bankruptcy due to Cardo's exploitation, it did exist.

So for Junko, there is nothing more suitable for a first-time gift than curry and the Asan cuisine represented by curry.

When everything is ready, there must be more than just curry. In addition to the basic curry with rice, Junko also prepared one of the native staple foods of curry, charpati "Gabadi", which is a small pancake for the daimyo. .Peking duck, crispy puli balls, and 'roasted buns', a typical exotic delicacy from the previous life.This is a snack from the Great Western Region in the past life. It can be used as either a staple food or a general snack.

After preparing these, Junko handed the four-layer square food box containing the delicacies prepared by herself into Tomoko's hands.

Then...

Some accidents occurred. Of course, Junko didn't know about this accident.

"Little Uchiha girl, just leave this to me." Zabuza stood in front of Tomoko and said, "I will safely deliver the food box to the daimyo's hands, and it will never be given to anyone. Robbed."

"Sorry, actually I have already arranged the candidate." Tomoko sneered and said, "Mr. Zabuza, you have been more mellow recently. We are about to face the enemy coming from the Oto Ninja Village. How are you so mellow? If we go down, it might be a little difficult to protect ourselves in future battles.”

"I've been working hard recently." Zabuza seemed to be aware of his depravity and said, "I am Zabuza Momochi, known as the ghost, and one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"

"Even if I have indeed become weaker recently, those unknown minions from the Sound Ninja Village cannot be my opponents yet."

"Besides." Zabuza said proudly, "My infiltration skills are top-notch. It's just a small Daming Mansion. I, the demon Zabuza, can't come and go freely."

"Hmph." Tomoko snorted coldly and said without any intention of letting go of the food box: "Sorry, I have already selected the most suitable candidate. We are going to enter Daming Mansion in a more normal way, although this is a relatively secretive operation. But going like this will only scare the Daimyo, and your plan for my sister will only backfire!"

"Oh?" Zabuza said as if he had expected it: "Suitable candidates, do you mean the trash under Kado who you bribed?"

"With all due respect." Zabuza said sarcastically: "People who can be bought off by that little thing are not worthy of trust. None of them can take action tonight!"

"What about you?" Tomoko asked with the same sarcasm: "Don't you Zabuza's loyalty be the same as theirs? Are you planning to destroy Sister Junko's plan?"

"No!" Zabuza retorted without hesitation: "My loyalty to Miss Junko can be seen from the sun and the moon!"

"So I am the most suitable person for this task!"

"If everyone can't go." Tomoko said, clutching the food box and not letting go, "Then I am the most suitable person. Only I can best complete the task assigned to me by my sister!"

"No! You're not suitable!" Zabuza said, grabbing the food box with the same tenacity, "If I let you go, the food box will most likely disappear mysteriously."

"Maybe I will take the blame for some reason, so in order to show my loyalty to Miss Junko, it is most appropriate for me to go."

For a moment, Zabuza and Tomoko were holding on to the food box and were in a stalemate. Seeing that both sides were getting stronger and stronger, they were about to crush the food box.One person finally couldn't stand it anymore.

It seemed that whether it was Zabuza or Tomoko, if either of them were to deliver it, the food box might disappear.

Maybe only you are the most suitable.

"How about you let me go?" Shiro finally said aloud: "Since both Tomoko-sama and Zabuza-sama hope to show their loyalty to Junko-sama, and also hope to help Junko-sama, It’s better to let me go.”

Not to mention the sudden thrust caught both Tomoko and Zabuza off guard.

"Shiro!" Zabuza stared at Shiro with wide eyes, not knowing what to say next.

"I can understand Zabuza-sama's mood." Shiro said with a gentle smile: "But Zabuza-sama, this matter is very important to Miss Junko. It will determine whether Miss Junko can be in the wave in the future. The country has a firm foothold, so Miss Junko will definitely take this matter very seriously. If it really goes wrong, then there will be nothing in the future, Zabuza-sama."

What Shiro said was reasonable and reasonable, and Zabuza really couldn't refute it. He did have a selfish desire to have a little taste.

It was just a mouthful. Anyway, Junko had done so much, so even if he took a small bite of that fat pig-like Daimyo, he wouldn't notice anything.But it is true that as Shiro said, Junko really values ​​this gift very much. If she really screws it up, there may be nothing in the future.

The future without Junko’s delicious food would be really bleak!

After hesitating again and again, Zabuza let go of his hand, and if he endured it...if he endured it, there would always be a chance.

"Miss Tomoko, we are outsiders and we are rebels." Shiro breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zabuza let go. Zabuza-sama, who seemed to be gradually becoming more mellow, was quite reasonable.

He turned to Tomoko and said: "It is not easy to get the approval of Miss Junko. Please believe Zabuza-sama, he really just wants to complete the task seriously. So please give us no matter what. Let’s take this opportunity, and we will use practical actions to prove to you and Miss Junko that we are trustworthy!”

After saying that, he knelt down to Tomoko, as if he wouldn't get up if you don't give him to me.
