After
walking for another day and resting for a night, Kel and his group finally arrived at their destination, the Daming Mansion in the Country of Fire.
Mai Tekai, who was young and had a different way of thinking from ordinary people, wasn't trusted by Naruto when it came to dealing with the high officials of the Fire Country. Therefore, under the commission of the third generation leader, Ning Ci, who came from a noble family and had strict etiquette, was to complete the handover on behalf of Mai Tekai.
"Are you the ninja from the Hinata family, the most famous aristocratic family in Kinabha Shinobu Village?”After a series of simple exchanges, Ning Ci's calm and collected attitude won the unanimous approval of the Fire Country's representatives."Not bad, not bad. The younger generation will be formidable."”
Ning Ci wasn't arrogant or rash when he heard the praise from the important figures of the Fire Country. He bowed slightly, looking calm and composed, like a noble family.
On the other side, the seated Kai and the others seemed to have nothing to do. Kel had always found it difficult to deal with such complicated formalities. Thus, he could only sit cross-legged and close his eyes to rest. This was also what the third generation leader had instructed him to do. When the mission was handed over, Kel would wait quietly on the side. It was good to pretend to be aloof and calm. In any case, he did not want to make a fool of himself and affect Mu Ye.
Xiao Li, who had a habit of imitating Kai's actions, thought that it was Kai's unique training, so he sat there and looked serious. Only Tian Tian, who was familiar with him, knew that the former was just being crazy.
It was obvious that she did not have a lively and active personality by staying there obediently. However, seeing that everyone was doing the same, she could only endure it.
Another hour passed before Ning Ci and the Fire Country's representative finally finished their diplomatic conversation. After the end of the triviality, it was finally time to discuss serious matters.
"Teacher Kai, Li, Tian Tian, please come and listen to the instructions.”Ning Ci turned around and said.
This was a mission from Kiba Genin's fifth squad led by Kai. It had nothing to do with Kirito, who was not a ninja. Kirito had followed them here because of Tiantian's personal invitation. Therefore, Kirito did not need to be present when handing over missions.
"Oh ~" Tian Tian sat there and waited until it was finally over. The impatience in her heart had also reached the edge, and she finally let out a sigh of relief. She secretly cursed at the Fire Country's representative who had nothing better to do than to eat before slowly standing up.
“.......”Tian Tian's eyes widened as she looked at Kai and Li who were still sitting upright on the ground. She noticed that there were light marks on the corners of their mouths, and she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Tian Tian couldn't help but feel sad for Ning Ci. The good image that Ning Ci had built up in front of the Fire Country's representatives was all in vain.
On the other side, because the next mission had nothing to do with Kirito, he was bored and strolled alone in the garden of the Daming Mansion.
The place was surrounded by classical gardens with white walls and black tiles, making people feel as if they had stepped into a quiet and elegant paradise from the hustle and bustle of the world. Kirito strolled around the place without any special purpose. He walked around casually and unknowingly found himself in an elegant garden with flowers in full bloom. He was surrounded by green grass, trees, rockery, and strange rocks. In front of him was a cobblestone path, and in the distance was a long corridor with upturned eaves, red pillars, and white walls. The surroundings were filled with an antique poetic and picturesque feeling.
Kirito's gaze swept across the surroundings as he walked along the road. He sighed in his heart. The place where the country's top leader lived was indeed different. Compared to the "flourishing" Muye, it really was a small village.
Standing before a building, Kirito saw that it was an ancient building with upturned eaves, black tiles, and white walls. Four divine beasts stood on the four upturned eaves of the first and second floors. They were the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise respectively. A bell hung below the four divine beasts. When a light breeze blew, it would emit a crisp sound. It was especially pleasing to the ear in this soft and pleasant tune.
Kirito looked around and saw that although the courtyard in front of the building was not big, there were all kinds of lakes, rocks, and artificial mountains. Moreover, the shape was realistic and the structure was rigorous. There was a master and a subordinate, and the hierarchy was clear. One look and one could tell that it was designed by someone. The most rare thing was that Kirito did not find any similarities in the scenery along the way. The mountain paths, caves, valleys, dangerous roads, and cliffs on these artificial mountains were all over the place. It really had the feeling of "looking at each other while walking in the mountains, the scenery changes with each step."
Kirito was also dumbfounded by this. After getting used to seeing the low buildings and small houses in the village, even the residence of the largest aristocratic family in the village paled in comparison to the building in front of him!
Even though Kirito did not know much about architecture, he knew that the people who lived there must have extremely prestigious statuses in the Country of Fire.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Kirito. He looked at the tall building in front of him with admiration before turning around to leave.
However, at this moment, Kirito's ears twitched. As an assassin with extremely sensitive senses, he vaguely heard the crisp sound of swords clashing in the distance. Furthermore, the direction of this voice was coming from the tall building in front of them.
“......”Kirito frowned slightly. Logically speaking, it was impossible for a fight to occur in a tightly guarded, fully-enclosed mansion like the Daming Mansion, let alone the sound of real swords and spears clashing. Kirito stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment. However, when he heard the sounds of swords clashing, it became more and more intense. It seemed that there was an intense battle in the building. Kirito was a little curious, but he still decided to check it out for the sake of caution.
