Quest Master of Konoha

The next day, Yakumo rushed to the gate of Konoha Village in the morning and set off for the Fire City with Reiko Aoyama. Last time, he was full of curiosity and thinking about how to complete the task, but this time he was very calm.

There was no disturbance in the two-day journey, it was still a familiar journey, the familiar mountains and rivers, and the city of fire was still full of people.

On the afternoon of October 3, the two rushed to the familiar Daming Mansion. The person who received them was the newly appointed butler of Daming Mansion.

He was wearing a blue gown, and when he saw Reiko Aoyama and Yakumo, there was a natural expression of respect and flattery on his face.

Those aged servants in Daming Mansion are no longer seen, and the entire Daming Mansion seems to be full of vitality because it has welcomed a new owner.

The original old and historical decorations were all demolished and replaced, the wooden floors were replaced by smooth black and white marble, and the old Changming oil lamps were replaced by more convenient electric lamps.

It is said that the first two days were the succession ceremony of the newly appointed daimyo. It was a huge ceremony. Even if two days had passed, the daimyo still had a festive atmosphere.

The three walked through the long and wide corridor, and all the servants they encountered greeted the housekeeper in Tsing Yi in front of them.

The entire Daming Mansion has become completely new, and even the servants' faces are filled with inexplicable joy. As for the death of the former Daming... no one cares at all.

"Lord Daming has specially instructed that if the two adults arrive, they should take them to see him as soon as possible, and he will personally pick up the wind and clean the dust."

Tsing Yi's butler's expression was full of flattery. After all, Yakumo and Aoyama Reiko were honored guests that the daimyo had personally instructed to entertain.

"By the way, was the funeral of the former daimyo held?"

Yakumo looked around and asked casually, the brand new Daming Mansion did not have any funeral atmosphere at all.

"On September 30, the predecessor was buried. Lord Daming doesn't like extravagance, so the funeral is very simple."

"Oh," Yakumo responded. It's more than simple. It can be described as perfunctory. The funeral of a monarch of a country has its own specifications. Isn't that guy Shinichi afraid that other people will gossip?

"What's your name?" Yakumo asked.

"Two adults, just call me Chenyu."

Through talking to Yakumo, the eldest son and the second son became clear about the fate of the eldest son and the second son. One of the whole family was killed, and the other went to the Temple of Fire to become a monk to pray for blessings, but unfortunately, he encountered a mountain bandit on the road... unfortunately, he died.

The study room in Daming Mansion is very large. It is not only the office space of Daming, but also can be used as a conference room. There is even a bathroom and bedroom next to it, so that it is convenient for Daming to sleep at any time.

When the daimyo replaces the previous daimyo, the tax policy set by the previous daimyo will naturally no longer count. Shinichi is discussing the tax issues for the next few decades with the messengers of the major city lords in the land of fire in the study.

The envoys of the city lords had different expressions, some were downcast, some looked very happy, but all of them looked at Shinichi with a bit of flattery.

"Sir, two distinguished guests from Konoha Hidden Village have arrived."

Chen Yu spoke softly, and the envoys from the cities in the study stopped talking, their eyes flashed with displeasure, they were discussing the current top priority, and the development plan of the Kingdom of Fire in the next few decades was so easily interrupted.

Shinichi raised his head to look at Yakumo and Reiko Aoyama who were outside the door, a familiar smile immediately appeared on his face.

"The rest will be discussed tomorrow."

He waved his hand and ordered casually. At this time, Shinichi was wearing a black kimono and black Yuori. Yuori's chest was embroidered with the daimyo clan's Hui Hui.

Although he is still very young, he has an extravagance raised by a family of bells and whistles, and his words and deeds carry the majesty of a person in a high position, which is essentially the same as the enthusiastic but humble young man ten days ago. different.

Hearing this, the envoys from each city were slightly stunned, but they bowed to Shinichi to greet each other, and then walked out of the study in an orderly manner.

"Let the kitchen prepare,

Wait for the two distinguished guests to be entertained in the parlour. Shinichi hurriedly came to the front of the two of them without any pretense, with a warm expression on his face, and led the two of them to the living room.

"Your Majesty..." Yakumo bowed and looked terrified.

"We're friends... You don't have to be so polite." Shinichi immediately bent over to support Yakumo, his face still full of humility and enthusiasm.

Yakumo is subconsciously full of vigilance, and the wisdom of his ancestors told him that when an old Yinbi shows kindness, he wants not only your money, but also your people.

The three of them came to the living room again. The blood-stained carpet had been replaced. The blood in the past seemed to have dissipated, but that scene was forever etched in Yakumo's mind...

Incomparably rich food, served with juice without degrees, and even the seats are not prioritized, Shinichi has a sincere smile on his face, like a gathering between friends.

During the banquet, several people began to chat about their past interesting stories. In Shinichi's words, the eldest son became a strict but caring elder brother, while the second son was a cold-hearted and warm-hearted image, full of words and words full of brotherhood. , But Yakumo tasted carefully and saw only the word hypocrisy between the lines.

The distance between several people seemed to be invisibly beginning to draw in, and the title also changed from the first big name to the elder sister Qingshan, the younger brother Yakumo, and the elder brother Shinichi.

This meal Yakumo had a great time. After all, he didn't need to struggle with the food. He was even more convinced that Shinichi's plans were not small, but he still didn't know who his target was.

Even though it was Reiko Aoyama's various temptations, Shinichi still did not reveal the purpose of inviting the two to come.

After the meal, Shinichi personally brought the two to their residence for the past few days. It was in the depths of the Daming Mansion.

Aoyama Reiko returned to her room to rest. She was very tired after two days of traveling. Yakumo separated into a shadow clone to study ninjutsu, and the main body started the liver task.

From the diary to the reading summary, to the daily summary... Obviously the daily summary and the diary are repeated parts, but the task system is to let him write two copies.

It's really exciting, double the task... double the fun.

At 10:30 in the evening, Yakumo raised his head to solve today's task, picked up Zihuo as usual, and came to the courtyard to start practicing swords for a day. According to the time, he could practice for an hour.

The blade whistled, and the courtyard was instantly covered with dense knife nets until it was zero, and Yakumo simply washed and fell asleep.

On October 4th, Shinichi personally accompanied Reiko Aoyama and Yakumo to play in the Fire City after disguising the image. Yakumo continued to prepare gifts for the little friends from morning to night. Anyway, Shinichi paid for it. Egg.

On October 15th, the two had stayed in the Daming Mansion for a full twelve days. Shinichi still didn't show any purpose. He was more patient than Yakumo thought.
