Whoosh! The door suddenly opened, and a figure dashed out of the room like a ghost. In a flash, he stood in the courtyard with his back facing Uchiha Gou Mu and his hands behind his back. It was the current leader of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Hengshan!
Uchiha Oki turned around, still kneeling on one knee in front of Uchiha Hengshan.
" Han…" Uchiha Hengshan muttered as he looked up at the sky. He seemed to be thinking about something and trying to suppress something.
"Patriarch." Uchiha called out.
"You still dare to mention him?" Uchiha Hengshan suddenly turned around and shouted angrily," You've made our Uchiha the laughing stock of the entire Koba! You still dare to say that!"
"This subordinate deserves to die!" Uchiha immediately lowered his head, cold sweat dripping from his forehead." I didn't do my job well, so I'm willing to die to atone for my sins! However, it's a small matter if I die. The Black Market Trading Token hasn't been found yet. I can't die in peace. Please give me another chance! I suspect that the Black Market Trading Order is with Han! Even if they weren't with him, he would definitely know who had them. This matter was related to him. This opportunity was once in a blue moon. This subordinate hereby guarantees that if I can't complete the mission, I will bring my head to see you!”
After Uchiha finished speaking, he lowered his head even more.
Silence.
Uchiha was a little scared. The more Hengshan didn't speak, the more scared he was.
Uchiha Hengshan stared at Uchiha Gouki for a long time before he spoke in a much calmer voice,""Get up!"
Uchiha stood up.
"Remember, this is your last chance.”Uchiha Hengshan stared at Uchiha Okaki." If you fail this time! If Han returns to Muye alive, if you don't find the Black Market Trading Order! You know the consequences!"
"This subordinate understands! I swear to complete the mission!" Uchiha Oki patted his chest and promised, but he was relieved.
In the past month, he had felt very sad because he had lost Uchiha's trust in his clan. He had started to be sidelined in the clan, and some of the clan members who were usually respectful to him had started to ignore him. This was worse than killing him.
Now, he had the chance to win back Uchiha's trust!
The mission must be completed!
……
A few days later, in the northwest of the Country of Fire.
In the vast forest, tall trees rose and fell like waves. Insects flew and birds chirped. It was also a dense green and full of vitality. A middle-aged man in his forties walked in front of them on the main road. He was not tall and only had one eye. He wore an eye mask and carried a small bag on his back. He looked around as he walked, appearing a little nervous.
This was the employer of Lu Han and Matt Dai's mission. He was a wealthy businessman who traveled to many large countries all year round. His name was " Duo Longduo."
According to the mission details, Dolondo had a conflict with a local merchant while doing business in the Water Country. After that, someone placed a bounty on his head in the black market. At that time, Dolondo didn't pay much attention to it. He had a few warriors by his side to protect him, so he didn't think he would be in danger.
Just two months ago, Dolondo was assassinated by a Chuunin. All his servants and guards were killed, and he was blinded in one eye. If it wasn't for the fact that the incident happened near Kiba Village, and that the patrolling ninjas had discovered the battle and rushed to save him in time, he would have died two months ago.
Duo Longduo had been recuperating in Muye for two months. Because he missed his family, he wanted to return to his hometown in the Country of Rain, so he spent a lot of money and issued an escort mission in Muye.
This time, Lu Han and Matt Dai escorted Dolondo to the Country of Rain, and the commission was as high as 120,000 taels. The commission for a B-rank mission was usually 150,000 taels. However, a B-rank mission with a commission of 150,000 taels might not even happen once a year. 120,000 taels was already the highest commission for a B-rank mission at Mu Ye's current stage.
Dolondo walked in front, and Matt followed closely behind.
Matt Dai attached great importance to this mission.
Lu Han was much more casual than Matt Dai. He kept jumping around the tree, looking around at the scenery and the terrain.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, there was an unusual sound in the grass in front of him. Dolondo stopped in his tracks immediately, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying. He hurriedly turned around and ran to Mette, hiding behind him.
Matt took a stance and looked at the grass warily. At the same time, he called out,"Cold!"
"He's here!"
Lu Han flipped over and jumped down from the tree. He landed in front of the two of them. The grass was dense, and Lu Han couldn't see what was inside. However, he could see a line of red words-Ashland Wolf.
It was a carnivorous beast.
"Don't be nervous. It's just a little beast.”Lu Han turned around and smiled.
"Are you sure?" Matt Dai was still very cautious as he asked.
Whoosh.
The grass swayed, and a grey wolf that was more than a meter long came out from it. It glanced at Lu Han and the others, then ran into the grass on the other side with its tail between its legs and quickly ran away.
"It really is Little Beastie." "It looks like it's afraid of us," said Matt with a smile.”
"Animals are always the most alert, especially these small beasts. They almost never take the initiative to attack ninjas. They can sense danger.”Lu Han said as he jumped up and returned to the tree.
Dolondo finally felt at ease and dared to stick his head out from behind Matt Dai.
"You…you must protect me, or I won't pay you.”Dolondo said. This wasn't the first time he had said something like this. Ever since he knew that the two ninjas protecting him were only Genin, he had never felt at ease.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!”Matt patted his chest and promised.
Once again on the road, Mette returned to Dolondo's side and followed closely behind him.
Lu Han was jumping on the tree. He shook his head when he saw Matt's expression.
This might be one of the reasons why Metatron had always been a Genin. During the Ninja Advancement Test, there were written tests and survival trials. Metatron could not pass those tests. He was obsessed with physical skills and neglected the growth of other ninjas. He was not a qualified ninja at all.
Now, Matt was following Dolondo closely. He seemed to be paying attention to Dolondo's safety at all times, but in reality, he had lost the flexibility of a ninja.
Rumble!
The sound of an explosion suddenly rang out. Flames erupted in the north of the forest, and thick smoke soared into the sky.
"Don't kill me!" Dolondo covered his head and ran like a rat, screaming as he tried to hide somewhere, but there were trees all around him, and there was no suitable hiding place.
Lu Han, who was standing on the tree, looked at Dolondo helplessly and then looked to the north.
"Han! What happened?" Matt Dai was already standing in front of Dolondo and asked hurriedly.
"It seems to be…a battle! Ninjas with wooden leaves!" Lu Han looked to the north and replied.
