The two women stopped speaking.
Rokuro continued humming his tune, heading toward the destination.
Setting off at noon.
By the time the sky turned dark, they arrived at the destination.
The client for this mission was the boss of a tea garden.
The place where he lived was a manor located deep within the tea garden, far away from any town.
However!
At the entrance of the manor right now.
There were many samurai standing guard.
In the ninja world.
Ninjas were, after all, a minority.
The vast majority were ordinary samurai. Within the Five Great Nations, the number of ordinary samurai was at least ten million, whereas the total number of ninjas combined wouldn't exceed one million.
Ordinary samurai.
Ten or twenty of them combined could also deal with a Chunin.
However, they would need to trap the ninja or ensure the ninja didn't run away in order to kill a Chunin.
If a Chunin wanted to run.
Even fifty samurai would have a hard time stopping them.
The three of them landed at the manor's entrance. The samurai guarding the gate instantly became tense.
Ninjas who could fly.
That was absolutely not something they could deal with.
However!
Upon seeing the Konoha headbands on the three of them, the samurai relaxed. One of them hurriedly ran back inside the manor, while another samurai hastily bowed to the three and said, "Two Lord Ninjas of Konoha, our boss has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Once again, Rokuro received no attention.
The reason was simply that he was a little brat.
Having done over thirty missions, he had already gotten used to it and couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter.
As long as it didn't hinder him from grinding missions, he was too lazy to care about other things.
After the samurai spoke, Yuhi Kurenai stepped forward and said, "Take us inside to see your boss!"
The samurai nodded, hurriedly opened the gate, and led the way.
The three followed the samurai toward the villa inside the courtyard.
Passing through a corridor of tea bushes, the four arrived at the villa's entrance.
Right here.
A gorgeously dressed, chubby middle-aged man was currently waiting at the door.
Seeing Yuhi Kurenai and Uzuki Yugao, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome them, saying, "I've finally looked forward to the arrival of the Lord Ninjas. I am the boss of the tea garden beneath, Akizono Masaya. It's an honor to meet the two Lord Ninjas!"
Yuhi Kurenai didn't like speaking too much with ordinary people. She directly asked Akizono Masaya, "Boss Akizono, I wonder if those rogue ninjas have appeared recently?!"
Akizono Masaya shook his head and smiled bitterly. "They don't kill people; they only intercept and destroy our goods. Right now, it's been three months since my tea leaves have been sent out to the buyers. If this continues, those buyers will truly have to switch to another supplier to buy their tea leaves!"
Yuhi Kurenai nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Then is Boss able to organize a batch of goods to set out right now?!"
Akizono Masaya instantly understood Yuhi Kurenai's meaning and hurriedly said, "Lord Ninjas, please rest assured. We can ship the goods at any time. The manpower, carts, and horses have long been waiting in the warehouse!"
Yuhi Kurenai nodded. "Then make the preparations. We will set out tomorrow morning!"
Akizono Masaya nodded repeatedly.
Actually, Akizono Masaya knew that there was a spy from the other side among his people.
Otherwise, it was impossible for his shipments to be destroyed by the other party every single time he sent them out.
The intention of the Konoha ninjas in front of him was to let the spy send the message. This way, tomorrow those rogue ninjas would come out to intercept the tea, and when the time came, the Konoha ninjas could eliminate them.
The plan!
Was a good plan!
But this required absolute strength.
If they couldn't defeat the other party, then they'd be in huge trouble.
Therefore, Akizono Masaya couldn't help but say, "Two Lords, there are over a dozen of those rogue ninjas. I wonder if the two Lords have the confidence to eliminate all of them!"
Yuhi Kurenai cast a glance at Akizono Masaya and said calmly, "Rest assured. The two of us are Jonin. What do mere rogue ninjas amount to? Just make your preparations and that'll be enough!"
Two Jonin?
Akizono Masaya's eyes lit up. He hurriedly made way and said, "Two Lords, the goods won't set out until tomorrow morning. Please rest well for today. I will prepare a sumptuous dinner for the two Lords. Please do not hesitate to attend!"
Yuhi Kurenai was just about to refuse.
Rokuro stepped out and said, "It just so happens I'm hungry. Let's have a proper meal then!"
Akizono Masaya looked at Rokuro and said with a smile, "Is this little brother the disciple of the two Lords? Truly promising youth, ah. To have already become a ninja at such a young age. I've heard that the youngest ninjas in Konoha Village are probably around five or six years old. By the looks of it, little brother is also a genius of Konoha! Tonight, I invite the genius little brother to please honor us by attending my banquet!"
Truly living up to being a boss.
His flattery was top-notch.
Rokuro felt very comfortable hearing this and cast an approving glance at Akizono Masaya.
