Land of Waves
The next day, Hokage Building, mission assignment office.
"Although it's just a C-rank mission, but..."
The client, Gardener Dingsi, didn't reveal much on his face, but his eyes swept over the four children.
As a non-ninja, he didn't understand the situation within the ninja world at all, so he had many doubts about being protected by four minors.
After all, logically speaking, even the lowest-level production mission should have an adult ninja accompanying it.
"Please rest assured, Special Jonin Lin Ke is the most talented ninja in our village."
The Third Hokage smiled, very skillfully attaching the prefix 'most' to his juniors.
Just like Iruka boasting that he was the strongest Hokage.
As a Kage, he was also a ninja, and his attitude towards the clients was particularly good. As long as it didn't delay making money, everything else was fine.
Dingsi looked at them doubtfully, didn't say anything, and said, "Okay, then I'll leave my safety to you."
"Please rest assured." Lin Ke said solemnly, his professional attitude must be correct.
After Kado was defeated, the Land of Waves gradually had some missions. No matter how barren that place was, labor was also a resource. It was, after all, an island nation. Even if it only produced some grain, fruits, and seafood, it could still make money.
Otherwise, how could Kado control the Land of Waves? It was all for money.
After a brief conversation, the four surrounded the client, Dingsi, and left the mission assignment office, quickly leaving the village.
The Land of Waves was not far from Konoha Village, it could even be said to be quite close. Even at the speed of ordinary people, they could reach the border of the country in the afternoon if they set off in the morning.
Because this small country was notoriously poor and had no ninjas, the client, Dingsi, even though he doubted the protective abilities of the four small ones, did not object.
Ordinary Ronin and gangs, as long as they were not large-scale, posed little threat to Genin.
The journey was surprisingly quiet, similar to Lin Ke's first mission out of the village, like a picnic. Occasionally, there were prying eyes, but they quickly disappeared. It was too troublesome to attack ninjas so close to Konoha Village.
Even if someone was bold enough to attack Konoha ninjas, it would definitely be within the Land of Waves, not within the Land of Fire.
Dingsi, as a gardener, was in good physical condition. After noon, as the sun began to slant, they arrived at the seaside.
A cross-sea bridge, newly built last year, stretched between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire, with many carriages and pedestrians coming and going, looking quite lively.
In the past, entering the Land of Waves required boats, which was troublesome, and Kado's shipping company was a roadblock, which was too dangerous for ordinary people.
Now that there was a road to take, and it was a relatively peaceful small country, some residents of the Land of Fire would run over to travel, which could be considered to drive some economic development.
Crossing the cross-sea bridge, they entered the territory of the Land of Waves. In the Naruto World, there were no border lines or passports, and entry and exit were free. Small countries did not have such strong border control capabilities, especially since there were no ninjas here, it was very lax.
Dingsi's destination was the Redwood Forest. He was also commissioned by someone whose residence there needed a gardener, and they offered a decent price. He originally lived in a town near Tanzaku Street, and going to the Land of Waves happened to pass through Konoha Village.
Thinking that going back and forth might not be safe, he simply spent some money in Konoha Village to hire ninjas to protect him over and protect him back.
After entering the Land of Waves for a few hours, they arrived at a town near the Redwood Forest.
They used the currency of the Land of Fire here, the customs and habits were similar to those of the Land of Fire, and the appearance of the residents was no different from that of the people of the Land of Fire...
Lin Ke felt like there was no difference from being in China.
Just a bit poorer.
The various shops that were common in the towns of the Land of Fire were very few here, and there was only one hotel, which looked quite shabby. The busiest were the vegetable store and the butcher shop.
There were no entertainment shops, there were telephone poles, but there were no antennas everywhere in Konoha Village. In short, there were probably no televisions and television channels here.
Compared with the Land of Fire, it didn't feel like they were in the same era.
As the sun set in the west, Dingsi didn't want to stay in the town to rest, but insisted on getting to his employer's house as soon as possible.
Since the client wanted to hurry, the ninjas had nothing to say. They followed along the Redwood Forest. After an hour's journey from the town, the sky turned red, and they saw the gardener's employer's residence.
The architectural style of many buildings in the Land of Waves was very interesting. Taking the employer's house as an example, it was a house built on a tree, with a structure like a spinning top, with a total of six floors. The nearby trees, like the trees in the Land of Fire, were surprisingly tall.
Lin Ke had almost gotten used to it since he crossed over. He didn't even know if such tall trees existed in his previous life, but they were everywhere in this world.
The growth rate was also particularly fast. The planted trees grew to several meters in three or four months, and trees that were about two years old were almost twenty or thirty meters tall.
Several walls were built outside the yard, but the effect was not very good. It looked like it was just a feeling of preventing gentlemen but not villains, and it was not as tall as the trees in the yard.
The ground was covered with knee-high grass, and a dirt road cleared by someone led to the house.
The entire yard must have covered several kilometers, it seemed Dingsi's employer was inhumanly rich.
However, why do I feel like this place has something to do with Kado...
Lin Ke walked on the dirt road, pondering. The building didn't look new. Such a luxurious building, with a huge area, and built on the edge of the Land of Waves' scenic Redwood Forest.
When Kado was alive, would he really allow other rich people to live so comfortably under his nose?
They arrived near the employer's building. A Tattooed Man smoking downstairs put out his cigarette and walked over, shouting, "Hey, what are you doing? This is private property—"
"!" He took a half step back the moment he saw the Konoha Village Forehead Protector, a clear look of fear on his face.
"Is Master Qiezi here? I am Gardener Dingsi, whom he hired." Dingsi showed the contract in his hand.
The Tattooed Man swallowed, not even bothering to verify, and stammered, "That, uh, wait a moment, I'll go get him."
Dingsi's expression had been fairly calm, but when he saw the Tattooed Man go upstairs, he revealed a slightly nervous look, and whispered, "Although Master Qiezi gave me an advance deposit, but..."
He recalled the Tattooed Man's fierce appearance just now, and said, "In any case, please protect me, please."
"Don't worry, leave it to us." Lin Ke comforted him, saying, "Just ordinary people, even if there were a hundred or eighty of them, they wouldn't be a match for any one of us."
"Mr. Dingsi, please rest assured, we will definitely guarantee your safety."
