The subordinate of the little dignitary looked very wretched. He was thin and malnourished. No matter how he looked at it, he did not look like a good person.
However, this subordinate had already paid half of the deposit for the mission in the leaf. In addition, this small dignitary had previously hired a leaf ninja, so Uchiha was very assured of this simple mission.
Ye Yong carried a ninjato the length of an arm on his back, and the necessary weapons hung on his waist. He followed behind his men expressionlessly.
Inuzuka Michi walked fearlessly while Uchiha Kaoru followed behind Ye Yong, her gaze never leaving her.
Moreover, he would occasionally fall into a fantasy, his face would sometimes be red, and sometimes excited.
However, Ye Yong did not seem to notice her reaction.
Soon, he followed his subordinates through the forest in front of Muye Village. This was the first time he had left Muye Village since he came to settle down. However, his heart was unmoved. At present, all he wanted was to complete the mission.
When they left, Uchiha Mirror gave a brief explanation. He said that the mission this time was just a common case of hiring ninjas in the Country of Fire, and they were only worried about some mountain bandits who only posed a threat to ordinary people. Therefore, although the three of them were young, they were more than capable of dealing with them.
The Woodleaf Village was located in the center of the Fire Country and was not far from a city. Although the village was self-sufficient, they still needed to go out and purchase some materials.
Meanwhile, the minor dignitary was waiting for the three of them in the city.
Mu Ye had come in a carriage, so the three of them could save more than half of their energy to travel. It only took them more than half a day to reach the city.
As they approached the city, there was no tense atmosphere like in the leaves, but there were still the effects of war. There seemed to be refugees everywhere on the streets, begging for food and money.
Their clothes were ragged and their expressions were sad. Many of them had families with them. The children's dry faces were covered in dust and looked very pitiful.
However, Ye Yong was looking at the surrounding environment without looking sideways. He walked straight ahead, turning a blind eye to everything.
The skinny subordinate didn't say much along the way, as if he was very dissatisfied with Mu Ye sending only three little ghosts.
They arrived at an inn. It seemed that this was where the little dignitaries lived.
"Sirs, please wait for a moment. I'll call my lord out.”Although the subordinate spoke respectfully, his tone was very casual. After bowing slightly, he walked into the hotel.
"Lord Ye Yong…Why do I feel like this uncle doesn't like us?”Uchiha Kaoru was no longer shy and tried to find a topic with Ye Yong.
Ye Yong did not reply, but Inuzuka Tong rolled his eyes and said unhappily,"
"It's all because we're young and think we don't have much ability. Tsk, I can fight ten of these guys alone!”
"Hehe, Tong Jun is really humorous.”Uchiha Kaoru replied, but her gaze never left Ye Yong's back.
"Uh... Was that so…Ha... Haha." Inuzuka Tong rubbed his nose and laughed foolishly.
Ye Yong naturally heard their conversation, but he had been observing the movements around him. He was naturally vigilant, and it was just his instinct.
Soon, a white-haired old man with a hunchback but gorgeous clothes and a golden ring on his finger walked out quickly under the protection of several people.
When he saw the three of them, the old man didn't reveal any strange expression. Instead, his dry, bark-like wrinkles squeezed together and he revealed a smile.
"This old man is also a mountain man. Greetings, three ninjas.”
Ye Yong nodded.
"Greetings, Mister Jianshan." Uchiha smiled and replied politely.
Inuzuka Tong's gaze wandered and he did not reply.
"Ke ke, please come in. I have already prepared the food. You must be a little hungry after rushing for half a day.”Kanesama Suke smiled and made an inviting gesture.
The three of them entered the room. Sure enough, a sumptuous meal was placed in front of them. The hotel seemed to be covered by a mountain. There was no one in the hall except for some ordinary people who were obviously guards.
These guards had different expressions. Some looked at the three of them with contempt, some with curiosity, and some with indifference. However, most of the guards were burly and had fierce expressions on their faces. They looked very intimidating.
Ye Yong rolled his eyes and counted in his heart. There were twelve male guards and one female guard. The skinny guy from before was guarding outside the door. Ye Yong guessed that he was a coachman.
Ye Yong paid more attention to the female guard and found that she was very young. Her expression did not look like she had been a guard all year round. Instead, she was a little pretty.
"Hehe, please take a seat. Let me explain the details of this mission to you.”Jian Shan sat down first. Considering the age of the three of them, he did not pour them any wine.
"Speak." Ye Yong said straightforwardly after he sat down.
Inuzuka Tong wanted to eat a few mouthfuls of the delicious food, but when he heard Ye Yong speak, he tactfully sat down and waited for the old man to speak.
" Alright then. The main purpose of this trip is to deliver a batch of goods to Linyu City. The journey will take about a week. We will pass by the Third Ring Mountain Forest. There are often reports of bandits robbing trucks. Therefore, we hired three ninjas to be prepared.”Jian Shan smiled and said.
After Ye Yong heard this, he took out the map of the Country of Fire and opened it to search for the so-called Linyu City.
He discovered that Linyu City was located at the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Rain. It was a large trading city, and the main merchants were doing business with the goods of the two countries that were at a lower price.
He took a closer look and realized that they had to pass through a mountain forest. The mountain forest was surrounded on three sides, leaving only one official road. It was the best place for the bandits to run amok.
Inuzuka Tong's expression turned unnatural when he saw Ye Yong flipping through the map so skillfully. He had never thought of this before. He just wanted to listen to his employer's request and complete the guard's mission.
A moment later, Ye Yong nodded at Uchiha Kaoru and Inuzuka Michi.
"If possible, I hope to set off tomorrow. What do the three of you think?”Jian Shan spoke again.
"Yes." Ye Yong nodded, as if he had become the center of attention of the three.
After that, Ye Yong did not eat those delicious dishes. Instead, he walked out of the hall and found a corner to start eating the dry and hard bread.
It was written in the ninja manual that one must not act rashly in an unfamiliar environment, which included food and the like.
On the other hand, Inuzuka Michi began to eat without a care in the world. Uchiha noticed that Ye Yong was not eating and seemed to have lost her appetite. She hesitated for a moment before she turned around and went to talk to Ye Yong.
The little girl seemed to be very active.
