The next morning, Tianqi washed his face and arrived at the mission hall early, intending to accept the mission and wait for Jiraiya and the others.
"Lord Tianqi, you've arrived. What kind of mission would you like to take this time? Is it still a D-rank mission?" This time, the ninja who gave the mission didn't act on his own initiative but asked Tianqi.
"Give me a C-rank mission today, the kind that pays well and seems easy." That's right, Tianqi wanted to find a mission like the one Naruto and his crew from the Land of Waves. A mission with ninja fighting is what a mission should be, right?
"This, this, let me look for it." Hearing Tianqi's conditions, the ninja who gave the mission was also stunned. Such simple and high-paying missions are very popular, okay? He didn't even know if he had any. Then he still started looking for Tianqi.
After about ten minutes, the ninja who was supposed to give the mission finally found it. "For Lord Tianqi, this is one of those easy, high-paying C-rank missions. This mission is an escort mission, but the journey is a bit long."
Tianqi took the mission list, glanced at it, and smiled slightly. This was the kind of mission he was looking for. The mission list showed that the person who issued the mission was Tang He. All he had to do was send this person named Tang He to the Land of Hot Water. The reward for the mission was quite high. The Land of Hot Water was just a small country. Although they didn't have any ninjas, they still had samurai. For someone to travel all the way to Konoha to issue a mission, there must be something fishy going on.
“Okay, this mission is fine, our team will take it.” Tianqi agreed without hesitation; this was the kind of mission he wanted.
"Yes, Lord Tianqi, I will notify the person who issued the mission to come over right away." Seeing that Tianqi had agreed to accept the mission, the ninja who gave the mission went directly to notify the person who issued the mission.
The person who posted the task arrived quickly; it wasn't an old man, but a middle-aged man in his thirties.
"Tang and this is the team leader who will be taking over your mission. They are a four-person team, and they'll handle your C-level mission perfectly well."
"Lord Tianqi, he is the employer of this mission," the ninja introduced directly to the mission.
"Can he do it? He looks so young," Tang He asked Tian Qi with a skeptical look.
"You..." The ninja who gave the mission was about to speak when Tian Qi stopped him.
"Don't worry, I'm a ninja who's been through wars. Even if dozens of Jonin come at me, I won't be afraid,"
"Are you relieved now?" Tianqi whispered in Tang He's ear, his eyes narrowed.
"That's right, Lord Tianqi is incredibly strong. He would never accept this kind of mission if he didn't have a team with him," the ninja who gave the mission boasted to Tianqi.
Tang He was relieved to hear them say that. "When shall we depart?" he asked hastily after being relieved, as he was eager to return to the Land of Hot Springs.
"No rush, I'll just wait for three more genin. If you're really in a hurry, you can wait for me at the Konoha gate. I'll set off as soon as I pick them up." Tianqi noticed Tang He's anxiety and told him to wait at the gate.
"Alright, I'll head out to the entrance and wait for you. Try to hurry." Since he was on someone else's turf, he couldn't rush them, lest they notice something amiss. After saying that, he walked out.
"Let's see what tricks you can pull," Tianqi muttered to himself as he watched Tang He leave.
Tianqi then arrived at the entrance of the mission hall, waiting for the three little ones. He was indeed early today; looking at the time, it was only 7:30. "Half an hour left, I'll take a nap."
Tianqi sat on the ground, leaning against a pillar, and dozed off. He felt relatively safe in Konoha, but he wouldn't dare to sleep so soundly outside. He might fall asleep forever if he did.
And so, the ninjas who came to receive the mission all saw a person sleeping at the door, with drool still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Why did this person fall asleep right at the door?"
"This guy's awesome, he can even fall asleep right outside the mission lobby."
"Shh, keep your voices down. Didn't you realize this is Uchiha Tenki? Who would dare mess with such a ruthless person?"
"Holy crap! It really is Uchiha Tenki, who killed hundreds of Cloud Ninja! Get away from him, don't disturb his sleep!"
Jiraiya and his two companions arrived at the entrance of the mission hall.
"We were supposed to meet here today, but Brother Tianqi isn't here. Did someone go too far?" Jiraiya asked, looking around and not seeing Tianqi.
"Bang! Stop talking nonsense. Brother Tianqi never oversleeps. If he's not here on time, there must be something wrong." Tsunade punched Jiraiya on the head. He knew everything about Tianqi last night, and he believed that Tianqi was definitely not the type to sleep in late.
"Ouch, flat-chested tomboy," Jiraiya muttered under his breath, clutching his head.
"Huh, why are there so many people gathered here?" Jiraiya saw so many people gathered together and squeezed in as well.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Tianqi? What are you doing sleeping here? Tsunade, Orochimaru, come here! Brother Tianqi is here!" Jiraiya called out to the two of them when he saw that it was Tianqi.
Hearing that Tianqi was over there, the two quickly went over to him.
"Damn! It really is Tianqi. Not only is he sleeping here, but he's also drooling." Tsunade slapped her forehead. It was unbearable to watch. She had just said that Tianqi wouldn't sleep in, but he was sleeping in the mission hall and being watched by so many people. This was too much of a slap in the face.
"With so many people watching, it's too embarrassing for him not to wake up, you bastard!" After saying that, Tsunade raised her right hand and punched Tianqi in the face.
Bang!
"Who! Who! Who is it! Who ambushed me? If you have the guts, step forward!" Tian Qi, who had been punched, woke up and shouted at the crowd while covering his slapped face.
Seeing Tianqi's furious expression after being beaten, everyone unconsciously took a few steps back, including Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
"I did it," Tsunade stepped forward immediately.
"Damn it! How dare you hit me, Tianqi... wait, it's Tsunade, why did you hit me?" Tianqi, who was about to curse, instantly lost his temper when he saw it was Tsunade.
"Brother Tianqi, you're supposed to be a legendary figure, yet you're drooling in your sleep here. Don't you feel ashamed?" Tsunade said angrily. Last night, she admired Tianqi quite a bit and even thought about his problems all night. And this is what she got the next day? Her admiration vanished instantly.
"Hey, is that all? I came here early this morning to pick up the mission, and when I saw you guys weren't here, I took a nap. I didn't expect to fall asleep. Besides, a ninja falling asleep during a mission is embarrassing, isn't it?" Seeing Tsunade's angry face, Tianqi also came up with a reason that wasn't really a reason.
"Even so, can't you go sleep in the mission hall? There are chairs there to sleep on. Is it really necessary to embarrass yourself here?" Tsunade retorted when she saw Tianqi using the mission as an excuse.
"Alright, alright, Tsunade, stop talking. It's embarrassing with so many people watching. I've already accepted the missions. Let's meet at the main gate of Konoha." After saying that, Tianqi ran out. Being beaten and scolded by a woman, and being watched by so many people, even Tianqi, who had a thick skin, felt a little embarrassed.
"He's embarrassed? Who would believe him?" Watching Tianqi flee at high speed, Tsunade felt a strange emotion rising in her heart.
"What are you looking at! Look again and I'll beat you all up!" Tsunade threatened, seeing everyone gathered around her.
Everyone recognized her as Tsunade, the princess of the Land of Fire. Being hit by her was truly unacceptable. Then, everyone scattered and ran away, leaving only Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
"It's still a little embarrassing to be watched by so many people," Tsunade said, reflecting on the experience.
"Let's go to the entrance too," Tsunade said to the two of them.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru nodded frantically, then exchanged a glance. It was best to avoid provoking such a ruthless person who dared to beat up Tenchi in front of everyone and threaten a group of ninjas.
As they spoke, the group headed towards the gates of Konoha.
