Shikaku Nara looked at the bill handed over by Konoha Ninja in silence.
Not a moment.
He covered his face directly, as if he didn't know what to say.
In fact, when Kusagakure was entrusted by Lord Hokage this time, he originally refused!
After all, Kusagakure is a bunch of scammers... He doesn't want to do it again.
Just remembering the so-called Ninja Way Tournament last time, he still feels stomachache.
He really didn't expect that Kusagakure could do so many tricks!
However.
After hearing his refusal, Third Hokage said sincerely that he was the ninja who was most familiar with Kusagakure in the village besides Danzo.
Therefore, there was no other choice but for him to come.
As for Lord Danzo...
He is here to redeem Master Danzo this time, what else is there to say!
And he also specifically told him that when he comes to Kusagakure this time... he just needs to exchange good information with Jiraiya and redeem Master Danzo.
Nothing else, very simple.
After all, Konoha is in a troubled time now...
The influence of "Cursed Konoha" has not been eliminated. Feudal Lord's Mansion was dissatisfied with Konoha's decisions in the past few years. Therefore, they formed a team of Twelve Guardian Ninja and selected talented people from Land of Fire to join.
And one of the ninjas named Kazuma is said to be secretly trying to instigate a relationship between the Feudal Lord's Mansion and Konoha.
It gave the village quite a headache!
Because of this, there were too many things going on during this period, and the village sent people so late to redeem Lord Danzo!
Coupled with the past few years... it really makes the listeners sad and the listeners in tears~
No money was made this time, and the losses were very heavy. As for the original recovery plan, it was delayed again.
However.
Now Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure are all recovering. If Konoha continues like this... let alone being caught up by other ninja villages, they are probably about to overtake Konoha!
Of course, they Konoha also felt a lot relieved when they saw that Sunagakure next door was even more unlucky!
At least they Konoha are not the worst!
Therefore, for this reason... the village issued a death order. No matter what happened, the most important thing for Konoha now is to recuperate.
Therefore, at Lord Hokage's request, he agreed to make another trip to Kusagakure.
According to his plan, after arriving at Kusagakure, he exchanged information with Lord Jiraiya.
Then.
After telling Lord Jiraiya what Lord Hokage said, he quickly redeemed Sir Danzo, then turned around and left without looking back.
Of course, he also guessed that there might be some surprises.
For example, when he first arrived this morning, the lively welcome ceremony made him understand what would be written in the black-hearted newspaper tomorrow morning [Shocked! Konoha Ninja went to Kusagakure as envoy, and Kusagakure warmly welcomed him, which demonstrated the deep friendship between Konoha and Kusagakure, and all rumors were self-defeating! ].
And he doesn't care about this either!
After so much happened, Lord Hokage would not misunderstand him Nara Clan.
Moreover, Ino-Shika-Cho Clans has a close relationship with Lord Hokage and is treated well in the village. How could he launch a rebellion like Uchiha Clan?
Before setting off, he also simulated various accidents that would happen, such as Kusagakure temporarily increasing the price, or even detaining them... He prepared corresponding countermeasures for all.
However.
He really never expected...
Such an accident could happen!
Shikaku Nara looked at the amount above... a bill worth millions, what on earth did Lord Jiraiya do here?
You must know that this is worth a S-rank mission!
Now he probably guessed why Lord Jiraiya... didn't wait for them!
"Master Nara, how about we just pretend we don't know anything?" Konoha Ninja hesitated and suggested, "As long as we take Master Danzo back!"
"Kusagakure has been waiting for us here for a long time!" Shikaku Nara shook his head and said with emotion, "If we don't pay, we probably won't be able to see Mr. Danzo!"
According to Lord Hokage, no matter what happens, please bring Danzo back first.
As for other things... we'll talk about it later!
Especially after entering Kusagakure and seeing the bustling scene of Kusagakure, he knew better... Konoha can't go on like this anymore.
Therefore, Danzo must be brought back as soon as possible.
This will also allow the village to enter full recovery as soon as possible!
"Where is Master Danzo? Are you back?"
The first moment he came to Kusagakure, he asked where Master Danzo was.
It's just that Grass Ninja said that Master Danzo is currently traveling over there at Land of Rain and has not returned to the village yet.
They also said that they had arranged for someone to notify them, and handed them a postcard, telling them not to worry, saying that Mr. Danzo was having a great time here and would definitely be fine.
He looked down and saw... it was indeed the case!
More than a dozen Rain Ninja are following Master Danzo. Can Master Danzo not be happy?!
"Not back yet! As for when I will be back, I asked Xiaye specifically, but those Grass Ninja said they didn't know either!" Konoha Ninja shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Instead, they gave me a bill!"
"..." Shikaku Nara's mouth twitched, and then he endured the pain and took out a wad of money from his ninja bag and handed it to Konoha Ninja, "Go! Clear Lord Jiraiya's account, and by the way, where is Lord Jiraiya?"
"Yes!"
After Konoha Ninja left, Shikaku Nara sighed. After arriving at Kusagakure, he couldn't do anything. Not only did Danzo not redeem him, but Lord Jiraiya didn't even see it.
Now he just wants to complete the task as soon as possible and then return to the village!
You must know that in order for this mission to go smoothly, Lord Hokage specially sent ninjas who were not closely involved with Kusagakure to accompany him.
I'm just worried about an accident.
This time, the mission is only to redeem Lord Danzo!
Shikaku Nara looked melancholy at the bustling Kusagakure outside the window, and murmured to himself, "I hope there won't be any more accidents!"
Not a moment.
The door was opened again.
Konoha Ninja, who left just now, came back again and said with excitement, "Master Shikaku, Master Danzo is back! Master Danzo is back! I heard that he has arrived at the station!"
The words fell.
Shikaku also shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, then took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Let's go! Go pick up Mr. Danzo!"
As soon as he receives Master Danzo, he will leave immediately!
And the other side.
Under the leadership of Kusana, Danzo has indeed returned to Kusagakure.
When he set foot on this land again, his heart was full of emotion.
He sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
At this time.
"Don't be reluctant! Even if you go back, you can still come back in the future!" The hateful voice came from beside me again, "Kusagakure welcomes you back! You are now a masonry member of Grass Ninja Inn, and you can get a 20% discount on your next registration~!"
"..."
The devil will come again!
Even if I die, die in Konoha, and be crushed to death by darkness, I will never come back again!
Danzo The corner of his mouth twitched, just when he was about to say something.
Sudden.
In front of me... a dozen ninjas carrying Konoha Forehead Protector appeared. They bowed respectfully and shouted loudly, "Welcome to return Master Danzo!"
