Chapter 112: Change of Mind
For Ino, who has initially mastered the power of steam explosion, there are few problems that cannot be solved with money! If they cannot be solved, it must be because the money given is not enough.
Escorting Shibuki to Konoha Village, the two agreed that this was a C-level mission. Since the journey to Konoha was a private job taken by Ino, it naturally could not be recorded in her mission resume. Fortunately, she had already completed eight missions, and she really didn't care about her ninja resume, as long as the money was paid.
The reward for a C-level mission is generally between 30,000 and 100,000 taels. Konoha and Takigakure are allies, so usually they take the lowest amount, 30,000 taels. When Ino heard that there was only 30,000 taels, she turned around and was about to leave. Shibuki increased it to 100,000 taels, and she finally agreed.
In fact, Ino also knew that most of Shibuki's money was taken by Tsunade, but she didn't despise this little money. We are poor, and we should accumulate little by little. It's not bad to make money! The two went to Konoha Village.
The name Shibuki was ordinary, and Ino didn't take it seriously at first, but when Shibuki revealed his specific identity, she was really shocked.
"What? You said the previous ninja leader of Takigakure is your father?"
Shibuki nodded sadly.
Ino sighed and said, wow, this is another man who can be written as "my village chief father" in the composition.
However, the leader of Takigakure Village cannot be called "Kage" like Konoha and Kirigakure. He can only be said to be the leader of a ninja village. Ever since Kakuzu stole the "Earth Grievance", the village has declined.
Ino didn't try to curry favor with him. What's wrong with having a village chief as her father? Ino-Shika-Chou's strength was no less than those of the medium-sized ninja villages, and Shibuki's timid look really didn't make people respect him much.
Soon after leaving the town, the expected and reasonable attack occurred.
Three guys who were not wearing ninja forehead guards rushed out from three directions, each of them looked ferocious, and the kunai in their hands were shining coldly.
Shibuki yelled, then crouched down with his head in his hands at lightning speed, closing his eyes tightly, and his posture was extremely ugly.
Ino was stunned. Your father, the village chief, was probably angered to death by your cowardly behavior, right?
“Don’t come over here!”
“Stay away from me!”
"Be careful, be careful, I'm very powerful when I'm angry, I will kill you!"
Shibuki's words were harsh enough, but this posture really didn't have much deterrent effect.
Ino still has a strong sense of professional ethics. Since she has taken the other party's money, she must protect this guy.
"I knew it wasn't that easy to make money!"
She sighed and then made a seal.
If it were Kakashi's Team 7, they would have rushed forward without caring about anything.
As a member of Team 10, Asuma, who was born as a guardian ninja, repeatedly warned Ino to protect the target during the mission. Ino took this to heart.
She started with the extremely defensive "Water Style. Water Array Wall".
A rotating wall of water blocked the three attackers outside. The three were confused and tried to poke the wall with kunai, but found that they could not break it at all. They could not find a way up, down, left or right. The three of them could not move forward or backward and felt inexplicably embarrassed.
These three people were at best three Genin, and they were no longer in Ino's eyes. She asked Shibuki: "Wake up, stop shaking, hehe!? I'm calling you! Yes, yes, look into my eyes, these three people outside must be related to you, right? Do you want to live or die?"
Shibuki gnashed his teeth for a long time: "They are all accomplices, villains, coveting our village. If possible, if possible, just knock them out."
"OK."
Ino had no objection to her employer's request. After quickly forming a hand seal, a water dragon bullet swept the three attackers into the sky. After the water dragon dissipated, the three men fell to the ground like dumplings, their legs were broken, and they fell unconscious on the spot.
"Is your jutsu Water Dragon Bullet?" Shibuki was more knowledgeable than Ino thought.
"yes."
"I also know this ninjutsu. Your hand seal forming speed seems to be very fast, isn't it?"
Ino smiled but said nothing. Shibuki knew that what he said was a bit taboo, so he lowered his head embarrassedly.
The two continued on their journey, and in the evening of that day, they came to a valley, and Ino used summoning to summon the chameleon Shuzaki, who was still in the form of a ghost castle.
Looking at the huge castle that appeared out of nowhere, Shibuki, holding the cold rice ball in his hand, was stunned.
On the way from Suzaki Ridge to Taki no Kuni, Ino stuffed a lot of food and daily necessities into the castle, including rice, oil and salt. She changed her clothes and then politely invited Shibuki to have dinner.
"Okay, there are many rooms on the first floor. You can find any one to rest in. I live on the second floor. If you have nothing else to do, go and rest quickly. We have to travel tomorrow."
"Yes, yes."
Shibuki found a room closest to the door.
As a ghost castle with a history of fifty years, Shuzaki has killed many passers-by and adventurers. There are many rooms in the castle. Ino was busy and just cleaned up some skeletons in conspicuous places. She did not clean it carefully and thoroughly.
Shibuki couldn't sleep in the room at all. He felt that the castle was eerie, as if something was watching him.
He bravely searched the room and finally found a skull under the bed that seemed to be grinning.
At night, the windows would occasionally make a "clicking" sound, and there would be subtle footsteps and crying sounds coming from the door from time to time. If he had a choice, he would rather sleep in a tent in the wild than stay in this castle.
He wanted to go out, but found that he couldn't find the door. The next morning, Shibuki, who had been tortured all night, crawled out of the castle and watched Ino cancel the summoning technique.
After all, he is the son of the village chief and has some basic knowledge. He looked at the open space after the summoned beast disappeared and secretly calculated the size of the summoned beast and the chakra consumed.
The final result is a shocking number.
He looked at Ino as if she were a monster. Is this the Genin of Konoha Village? Do all Konoha Genin have this kind of strength? The senior from Takigakure Village's move to lead the village to lie down seems to be very correct!
The two continued on their way, and as they walked, Shibuki suddenly called her: "Wait! Wait, please stop!"
The birds in the woods were startled by his voice. Ino first looked around vigilantly, then used his perception ability to detect. After finding that there was no problem, he turned back.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shibuki looked ashamed and it took him a long time to express his intention.
"Actually, I went to Konoha Village to hire ninjas to protect me back to Takigakure Village."
Ino nodded slightly, and she thought of it just by looking at the chasing ninjas on the road.
Shibuki was embarrassed: "I was thinking, I mean, you look pretty awesome, so let's not go to Konoha, can you please escort me back to the village directly?"
