"Isn't this bounty too high?”Traitors, bounty hunters, and so on could also accept missions, but the specific people and organizations they accepted were different. It was completely dependent on the price. For example, if they didn't kill him in the future, they would be accepting Kado's money to work for him.
"There is indeed a problem." Okami had her own intelligence network. As the current head of the Thousand-Hand Clan, the power she wielded was very powerful. She used her intelligence to help Merciless accept all kinds of missions, so she was very familiar with the missions and could see the clues at a glance.
" Looks like there's something wrong with this protection mission. Normally, it's impossible for a bodyguard to have such a high fee for such a short period of time. The fee here is no less than a B-rank mission to the Five Ninja Villages. Usually, a mission of this level is likely to be attacked by a chuunin. Moreover, this chuunin is not weak. Otherwise, he would not have given such a high reward.”Okami said.
"Isn't this very interesting? It's not far from here. It's at the border of the Wind Country.”Wu Qing said.
"Then let's go take a look. I haven't been there to enjoy the scenery of the desert for a long time.”Okami nodded nonchalantly. After all, this was not the first time Merciless had come out to accept missions. He had also killed quite a number of Chuunins, so there was nothing to worry about. Besides, wasn't she going with him?
With their speed and the fact that they were already at the border of the Fire Country, they quickly entered the Wind Country's territory.
The person who issued the mission was in an oasis town in the desert of the Wind Country. Of course, he was the richest man in this town.
"Is this Kentarou's house?”Ruthless stood outside a luxuriously decorated house and said to the gatekeeper.
" This is Lord Kentaro's mansion. Little brat, go away quickly…" The guards quickly stopped talking because Ruthless threw out a scroll. It was a mission issued by Kentaro. The person who dared to accept this mission was definitely not someone they could afford to offend. They quickly nodded and bowed as they apologized and went in to inform Kentaro.
Soon, one of them led Merciless into the hall. He found that everyone was packing their luggage in a hurry. It seemed that they were going to escape together. This made Merciless even more cautious. It seemed that the opponent was not simple.
"You must be Lord Merciless who accepted the mission. I am Kentaro. It is my honor to meet you.”Kentaro was a burly middle-aged man. Not only was he so ruthless, but he also noticed that his hands were covered in calluses. It was obvious that he had been holding a weapon for a long time. He also had a valiant aura. He was not an ordinary person.
Kentaro obviously knew of Wu Qing's identity. After all, not everyone could accept such a mission. Since Kentaro was able to issue such a mission, he would naturally investigate. He knew that although Wu Qing was very young, his strength could not be underestimated. He had assassinated dozens of Chuunins, which made him feel much more at ease.
"You're too polite. The mission requirement is to protect you for three days. If you can tell me who is going to deal with you, I will be more confident in ensuring your safety.”Ruthless went straight to the point. Both parties were just customers. These people valued their own strength and not their words. Therefore, if they were serious, these employers would like them more. He understood that they were paid to help others solve their problems.
"I'm very grateful for your concern. In that case, I won't hide it anymore.”Sure enough, Kentaro was even happier to see Merciless so attentive. He didn't bother to be polite and said it directly. After all, this was indeed a good thing for him. The more Merciless knew, the more mentally prepared he would be, and the more confident he would be in protecting him.
" In fact, I offended someone in Shayin Ninja Village, so he issued a mission to kill me. In order to avoid the people who came to kill me, I had to move to the Country of Fire. As long as I entered the Country of Fire, they wouldn't dare to be too impudent.
As far as I know, the person who came to assassinate me is someone who hasn't graduated from ninja school.”Kentaro's words were shocking.
"You haven't graduated yet?" Ruthless was a little surprised. It was a peaceful era now, and it was impossible for a ninja who had not graduated to take on an assassination mission. After all, the assassination mission was at least a C-rank mission. Moreover, a person who had not graduated could make the tycoon here so afraid. It seemed that he was not an ordinary person.
"Tell me about his ability."
" Although they haven't graduated, their strength has already surpassed the average Genin. There are a total of three of them, and one of them is even comparable to a Chuunin. The strongest is the youngest of the three. According to the information I received, he carries a gourd on his back and can control sand to fight. Before he graduated, he has carried out many missions without failing once.
One of the other two had purple stripes drawn on her face, so she should be a Puppet Master. The last one was a woman carrying a large fan.”Kentaro's words reminded Merciless of three people. They were the three members of the hidden sand village. To be precise, they were three siblings. They were all children of Windshade. They were I Love Luo, Kankuro, and Shouju. Their strength was not simple.
In the early stages, he had an overwhelming advantage over the Ninjas of the Wooden Leaf Village, especially I Love Luo. Although he was still young, his strength was extremely terrifying. As a Guardian Crane, he was very powerful. When Ruthless thought about this, his blood boiled. He felt that his opportunity had arrived. He had been stuck at the elite level and felt that his chance to break through had come.
"I understand. If the three of them come, I will stop them and ensure that you can enter the Fire Country. However, my mission is only for the three of them.”Ruthless said. Blocking I Love Luo and the other two was already the limit of the quest. If they had to deal with others, then the quest would not be so cheap.
"I understand. In fact, the only ones who can threaten me are these three people. I'll leave everything to you, Lord Merciless.”Although Kentaro was much older than Ruthless, in this world, the strong were respected. As long as Ruthless had strength, people would address him as Lord no matter how young he was.
" Looks like I have to prepare well. Even if I, Ailuo, am not as strong as the Chuunin during the exam, I'm not much weaker. I'm only an elite Genin now, and I can match up to the Chuunin, but that's just an ordinary Chuunin. For example, Shouju, Kankuro, and the others are the sons of Windshade. The techniques mastered by them are not something that the traitorous ninjas can compare to. They are also very powerful."
" If it's three, I'll really be forced to do it. Hehe, this is interesting. Let me see how powerful the human pillar strength is. Let's see how far you can force me.”
Ruthless had a feeling that this would be the toughest battle he had ever fought in this world.
