Land of Water, Daimyo Mansion.
"Stop, this is the residence of Lord Daimyo, who are you?"
I saw Takenaka Kaguya with Famous Sword Shusui hanging on his waist, seemingly casually arriving at the door of Daimyo of the Land of Water's house.
However, before he could get close, several Chunin appeared quickly and blocked him at the door.
It has to be said that although Takenaka Kaguya, who is nearly two meters tall, does not show any momentum, just by standing wherever he goes, he makes several Chunins on the opposite side look like enemies.
"I am Takenaka Kaguya. I received the task assigned by Master Mizukage and Elder Genshi to protect Master Daimyo when he went to Capital of the Land of Fire, met with Land of Fire Daimyo and served as a guard." Takenaka Kaguya did not embarrass the other party and handed over the mission scroll while explaining.
After finishing speaking, before these Chunin could take over the scroll, suddenly, a Jonin quickly walked out from Daimyo Residence.
The moment he saw Takenaka Kaguya, the other party quickened his pace and quickly came to Takenaka Kaguya. He saluted with great respect and said, "Lord Takenaka, why are you here?"
"Huh? It's you, Eiichiro Hoshigaki. I didn't expect you to be assigned to protect Lord Daimyo." Takenaka Kaguya was stunned at first, and then recognized the other person.
Eiichiro Hoshigaki, Kirigakure Hoshigaki Clan's Jonin, but they are said to be the same family, but in fact, there is only Eiichiro Hoshigaki's strength has reached the Jonin level, and if nothing else happens, he will have a son of Daimyo Dingding in the future - Kisame Hoshigaki.
That is, the little shark who likes to use honorifics and is called Tailless Tailed Beast. He is obviously a villain, but he is very popular.
"Yes, Lord Takenaka, I didn't expect you to still remember this subordinate.
You came here this time to protect Master Daimyo when he went to Capital of the Land of Fire, right?"
Obviously, Eiichiro Hoshigaki already knew in advance why Takenaka Kaguya arrived.
"Well, this is the mission scroll. Please check it according to the rules, and then take me to meet Master Daimyo." Takenaka Kaguya nodded and smiled.
This guy used to be one of his subordinates, and they had worked together briefly before on the Land of Fire battlefield.
Therefore, his attitude towards Eiichiro Hoshigaki is pretty good.
"Okay, Lord Takenaka, please wait a moment."
Having said that, after taking the mission scroll and confirming its authenticity, Eiichiro Hoshigaki respectfully handed over the mission scroll.
"Lord Takenaka, there is no problem with the mission. Please come with me. Mr. Daimyo is already waiting for you in the living room." Eiichiro Hoshigaki respectfully made a gesture of invitation and said.
"Okay." Takenaka Kaguya nodded lightly.
Then, under the surprised and admiring looks of several Chunin, Takenaka Kaguya followed Eiichiro Hoshigaki into Daimyo Residence.
It has to be said that it is indeed Daimyo Residence. Surrounded by Takenaka Kaguya and Observation Haki, there are a dozen Jonin level Ninja hidden in the dark.
Moreover, the Chakra in one of Jonin's bodies is already infinitely close to Kage Level.
"I'm really afraid of death!" Takenaka Kaguya complained in his heart.
After a while, under the leadership of Eiichiro Hoshigaki, he came to a living room.
As soon as he came in, he felt several scrutinizing eyes falling on him, and one of them actually became hostile to him.
"It turns out to be Hozuki Clan, no wonder he is hostile to me." Takenaka Kaguya thought to himself.
He knew in his heart that because of Hozuki Gengetsu, Hozuki Clan had no good impression of Takenaka Kaguya from top to bottom.
However, as long as he doesn't attack him, doesn't like him, and can't kill him, this is what he wants to see.
"Takenaka Kaguya, I have met Master Daimyo."
Immediately, his eyes fell on the guy sitting on the main seat, dressed as a man or woman, and he saluted.
"Get up, you are Takenaka Kaguya. I have heard of your Daimyo a long time ago, but we have never met. Now that we have met, you are indeed a talented person." Daimyo of the Land of Water said with a smile on his face.
However, because he had a fan in his hand, which obscured his appearance, Takenaka Kaguya could not see his appearance clearly.
"Daimyo, thank you very much." Takenaka Kaguya said calmly.
"No, no, no, it's not an award. In the previous battlefield, the contribution you made, it can be said that even Mizukage Byakuren is inferior to you.
But I did not support you to become Mizukage, mainly because you are too young.
If it is now, you are fully qualified to become Mizukage of Kirigakure.
Therefore, I hope you will not have any complaints in your heart against First Mizukage who did not support you in becoming Kirigakure." Daimyo of the Land of Water said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was quiet for a while. Takenaka Kaguya didn't believe a word of Daimyo of the Land of Water's words.
Even when Genji told him before that Daimyo of the Land of Water would support him in becoming Second Mizukage, he didn't believe it.
For these mature politicians, just listen to what they say. If you really believe it, you would be stupid.
"Thank you, Lord Daimyo, for your consideration. I just don't have any idea about Mizukage's position." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Daimyo of the Land of Water was stunned for a moment, and then understood it to mean that Takenaka Kaguya was making excuses for himself because he failed in the previous competition to save some face.
However, Takenaka Kaguya doesn't care what the other party thinks. To him, Daimyo of the Land of Water is the leader of a country despite his noble status.
However, in his eyes, he is just an ant that can be easily crushed to death.
Of course, he didn't show it. After all, you can ignore it anyway, but there is no need to make enemies for yourself.
"Forget it, now Byakuren and Mizukage are doing well. Under his leadership, Kirigakure is also developing very well."
Seeing Takenaka Kaguya's indifferent expression, Daimyo of the Land of Water didn't know what to say for a moment, so he changed the subject and continued, "Then when I go to Capital of the Land of Fire this time, I leave my safety to you."
"Daimyo, don't worry, this is my mission, and your safety will not be threatened in any way." Takenaka Kaguya said immediately without any hesitation.
Yes, it's just a mission.
As for who he protects, it doesn't matter, he just needs to protect the target he protects from harm, and then return to Half-Moon Island.
"Okay, I feel relieved to have you here.
You go down and rest first, someone will inform you before setting off tomorrow morning." Daimyo of the Land of Water said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Takenaka Kaguya saluted, turned and left.
Soon, a housekeeper came in and took Takenaka Kaguya out.
After he left, the smile on Daimyo of the Land of Water's face disappeared, and he said coldly, "This Takenaka Kaguya is really unruly. He can't even see the slightest respect when facing someone!"
