Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 124 The Bad Client

Fenghua Xiaoxue said this and looked at Uchiha Xing very uneasily.

"Is that so? Let's change the subject then."

Uchiha Xing said very cheerfully.

"Hey?"

Fenghua Xiaoxue was stunned when she heard what Uchiha Xing said.

"Is it that simple?"

Fenghua Xiaoxue blinked and asked Uchiha Xing.

"Otherwise, I just want to build a theme park. Other countries are unwilling to give me such a large area. I told them it was a lease, but they always thought I was trying to cheat them out of the land."

Uchiha Xing said with a pout.

Um... Actually, at first I thought you were going to cheat me of my land, but since the Rain Country and the Snow Country are quite far apart and you wouldn't be able to run back and forth between them, I agreed.

Of course, Fenghua Xiaoxue only dared to complain in her heart.

"Wait, wait, wait, Sister Yuzhi, what did you just say?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uchiha Hoshi and Kazehana Koyuki in a daze.

"It's nothing, it's very simple. Xiaoxue asked me to do a task." Uchiha Xing said very simply.

"Commission?"

Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head and looked at Uchiha Hoshi.

"Well, I went to find the boss and asked him to protect me and take back the Snow Country."

Fenghana Koyuki explained to Uzumaki Naruto with a smile.

"No wonder it was you who told Mrs. San not to get involved in this matter."

The director said with sudden enlightenment at this time.

"That's it."

Fenghua Xiaoxue smiled and said that was the case.

"Speaking of which, it was thanks to that spy who told him my identity, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with him."

Uchiha Xing said with a chuckle.

"Hey? Identity? What identity?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uchiha Hoshi in confusion.

"That's my identity as the leader of the Rain Country."

Uchiha Xing said casually.

"Hmm? Isn't this a well-known fact?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uchiha Hoshi in confusion.

"Indeed, but the Snow Country is too far away from our country, and the information transmission is a bit poor, so they don't know my identity."

Uchiha Hoshi said casually, his eyes flicking over to Fuuka Nuto who had heard the entire conversation.

Looking at Fenghua Nutao's angry eyes, Uchiha Xing's mouth corners slightly curled up.

Although he was not sure whether the spy was the Third Lady, given the current situation, it seemed that only one of him and the spy could survive.

Xiaoxue, thank me. I helped you deal with the hidden enemy.

Santaifu!!!

If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him!

Fenghua Nutao's eyes were filled with hatred.

After a brief chat, Uchiha Xing began to discuss matters regarding the amusement park with Fenghua Xiaoxue.

After confirming that Fuuka Koyuki wanted to turn the Snow Kingdom into the "Spring Kingdom", Uchiha Star made some changes and decided to turn it into an amusement park that was half winter and half spring, with swan boats and self-propelled boats in the middle.

So while everyone was preparing to film the rest of the drama, Fenghua Xiaoxue was filming while dealing with the succession ceremony.

After deciding on the melody, Uchiha Xing began writing lyrics and recording.

Soon, it was time for Fenghua Xiaoxue's succession ceremony.

That day, many people went to celebrate Fenghua Xiaoxue's ascension to the position of monarch.

In the crowd, Fenghua Nutao hid in the crowd, holding a poisoned dagger in one hand and a convenient crossbow in the other. He easily avoided the guards and approached Fenghua Xiaoxue who was greeting everyone, and Asama Santaifu who was standing behind Fenghua Xiaoxue.

Go to hell!

Fenghua Nutao rushed towards the Third Lady with the dagger in his hand full of hatred, stabbed it into her body, and shot the crossbow in his hand towards Fenghua Xiaoxue.

The arrow instantly pierced Fenghua Xiaoxue's heart.

The next second, Fenghua Xiaoxue and Fenghua Nutao fell to the ground one after another.

Everything happened so suddenly that no one could react for a while.

"what!!!"

The people below screamed in shock.

"Hahaha! You can never get what I can't!"

Fenghua Nutao looked at the two people lying on the ground and laughed madly.

Uchiha Xing appeared quickly from somewhere and then controlled Fenghan Nutao.

"Xiaoxue, San Taifu, are you okay?"

Uchiha Xing asked Fenghua Xiaoxue.

"Hahaha! It's useless. She and the traitor are both dead! I have coated the arrow and the dagger with poison. They will all die!"

Fenghua Nutao laughed excitedly.

"Well!"

Fenghua Xiaoxue groaned and seemed to slowly get up from the ground.

Did I just die...

A trace of fear flashed in Fenghua Xiaoxue's eyes. She raised her hand to her chest and found that her hands were covered in blood, but there was no wound on her chest.

At this moment, a palm-sized doll fell out of Fenghua Xiaoxue's sleeve. A hole appeared on the doll's chest, and then it burned and turned into ashes.

Isn't that the doll that the big monster gave me? So I was saved by the big monster... no, my dear boss.

Thanks to the boss for saving my life, boss, you are awesome! ! ! !

"how come!"

Fenghua Nutao looked at Fenghua Xiaoxue in disbelief.

"How can it be impossible? But you seemed to be talking about a traitor just now. Were you talking about the third wife?"

Uchiha Xing's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was heard by everyone who rushed over.

Fenghua Nutao recovered from his shock and looked up at Uchiha Xing with a hint of horror.

"It's you. It's you who wants to..."

Use my hand to kill him and solve all the hidden dangers behind Fenghua Xiaoxue!

Come to think of it, with so many guards, how could he get in so easily and assassinate both of them so easily?

Fenghua Nutao wanted to speak, but suddenly found that he could not make any sound.

Fenghua Nutao froze and looked at Uchiha Xing with a look of horror.

This guy!!!!

Fenghua Nutao looked at Uchiha Xing with his body trembling slightly.

The guards also rushed over at this time. Someone helped Fenghua Xiaoxue up, one went to test Santaifu's breath, and someone came to help Uchiha Xing control Fenghua Nutao.

"My Lord, the Third Lady is dead."

Fenghua Xiaoxue had a sad expression, then sighed and said, "The Third Lady helped me a lot. Even if he was my uncle's man, I am willing to forgive him. Now that he is dead, let's bury him with honor. As for my uncle..."

Fenghua Xiaoxue looked at Fenghua Nutao with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "Uncle, I didn't kill you because you are my uncle, but now you actually want to kill me. I have decided not to show mercy to you anymore. Today is not a good day for execution. You put him in the cell and publicly execute him after seven days."

"Yes!"

The guards took Fenghua Nutao away and the succession ceremony continued. The people below were relieved to see that Fenghua Xiaoxue was fine.

After the ceremony, Kakashi and his friends left the Snow Country, while Uchiha Star stayed in the Snow Country and began to design the park.

……

“Dululu~Dululu~”

In a dark dungeon, the sound of Den Den Mushi was heard.

Orochimaru, looking tired, opened his eyes and glanced at Kabuto Yakushi beside him.

Yakushi Kabuto nodded slightly and then turned on the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello~ How are you feeling~"

Uchiha Xing's voice came out from the mouth of Den Den Mushi.

"Fortunately."

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, he began to cough continuously.

"Oh my~ It sounds like you are in very poor health, so act quickly. Don't say I am bullying you. Let me tell you a piece of information. Sasuke and the others have already left the Snow Country and will go to Konoha. So, act quickly~"

Uchiha Xing hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and then continued to work on his own design drawings.

Orochimaru couldn't help but smile after hearing what Uchiha Xing said, and then looked at Kabuto Yakushi.

"You have done everything you were asked to do."

Pharmacist Kabuto pushed up his glasses with a smile.

"Don't worry, Lord Orochimaru, I have already arranged everything. When they receive the mission, Sasuke will soon fall into the trap we have carefully set."

"That's good. You should also have them ready to bring Sasuke over at any time."

Orochimaru said as he closed his eyes again and rested well.

. . . . . .

"Ah... so boring."

Uzumaki Naruto muttered as he pulled out some grass.

"We can't help it. Kakashi-sensei is out on a mission. The three of us can't take on the mission."

Haruno Sakura sighed and started pulling out weeds with a helpless look on her face.

"Well......"

Uzumaki Naruto pulled out the grass for a long time and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"No! I've already done a lot of useless D-rank missions! I want to do missions above B-rank! I've decided! After I finish this mission, I'm going to find Granny Tsunade and get a good mission!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto said with full energy.

"no!"

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade decisively rejected Uzumaki Naruto's unreasonable request.

"Why!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Tsunade somewhat aggrieved.

"For commissions above B-rank and including B-rank, a ninja above the Chunin rank must be led to ensure the safety of everyone in the team."

Tsunade said with a headache.

"But Kakashi-sensei isn't here..."

Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help feeling disappointed, but then he suddenly thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Tsunade and said, "Then why don't we find a Chunin to lead the team. Hey, Granny Tsunade, is there any free Chunin now? We can do the mission together!"

"Can't!!!!"

Tsunade raised her hand and rubbed her temple, and said with a headache: "Team formation also has its own rules. You can't just randomly form a team. This will lead to an imbalance in the team's abilities. Did you listen to the teacher's lectures when you were in school? These are all basic knowledge."

"Ah, this..."

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly felt guilty.

Shizune, who was standing aside, looked at Uzumaki Naruto and suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, right, Lady Tsunade! Don't you have that commission? That particularly troublesome B-rank commission!"

Listening to Shizune's reminder, Tsunade remembered the commission she received some time ago.

Uzumaki Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard Shizune's words.

"Hey, hey, Granny Tsunade, can we do that B-rank commission?"

"Tsk!"

Tsunade sighed in pain, then took out a scroll from a basket of mission scrolls.

"This is an escort mission. We are to escort an outbreak... ahem! A wealthy man safely to Yuhe District."

"Yuhe District?"

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard the content of the task.

"I remember that Yuhe District is the small town near the capital. Moreover, it takes three days to get there by taking the national highway. Why is it classified as a B-level mission?"

Haruno Sakura asked Tsunade in confusion.

“So this is a difficult task.”

Tsunade felt a headache when she thought about what happened yesterday.

"The client is a newly rich man. Originally, this mission was only C-level, but the client felt that a C-level mission was not worthy of his status and insisted on upgrading it to S-level. After a long discussion, it became B-level. I thought that this mission could be completed by any team, but..."

Tsunade thought about those teams coming to her to complain. It was said that a month ago, the client had come to Konoha to commission someone. The team that took on the task from that client said that the client was very troublesome. Although he paid a lot of money, the client simply used the members of that team as servants.

They were either ordered to do this or that, and if there seemed to be any difficulties in between, it was simply to make full use of every penny spent.

The news about the client was later spread among the team members, resulting in no one wanting to take on the task up to now.

When Tsunade thought of this, her gaze fell on Uzumaki Naruto and the others, and she touched her chin thoughtfully.

"Have you ever heard of the name Itaro?"

"Itaro? Who is that?"

Uzumaki Naruto said confusedly before looking at his two teammates.

However, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura were also unfamiliar with this name.

Seeing this, Tsunade couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

"It's okay. It's okay if you don't know. He is the client of this escort mission. So do you want to take this mission? Apart from this, there is no other B-level mission that can be assigned to you."

After hearing what Tsunade said, Uzumaki Naruto almost went to answer it without hesitation.

Tsunade did not hand the power of attorney to Uzumaki Naruto immediately, but her eyes fell on Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.

"Do you two want to accept it as well? Once you accept it, you can't regret it."

The "fox tail" behind Tsunade was shaking wildly.

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura hesitated for a moment, then agreed to take on this B-level mission.

Seeing this, Tsunade smiled meaningfully.

Soon, under the guidance of Tsunade, Uzumaki Naruto and the other two met the fat client.

"Yohoho! Someone is finally here. All right, let's carry the sedan chair and go."

Itaro said as he got into his special sedan chair.

However, after waiting for a while, Itaro saw that Uzumaki Naruto and the others did not move, and he frowned and said, "What are you waiting for? Come and lift it quickly! I paid a lot of money for it."

"Hey? We carry it?"

Uzumaki Naruto was a little dazed and looked at Itaro.

"Otherwise, hurry up."

Itaro said as he leaned back comfortably in his chair.
