After walking for about a day and resting for a night, Guy and his team finally arrived at their destination, the House of the Land of Fire.
Guy, who has a different way of thinking from the average person, wasn't trusted by the Hokage in dealing with the senior officials of the Land of Fire. Therefore, the Sandaime entrusted Neji, who comes from an aristocratic family and is meticulous about etiquette, to complete the handover for Guy.
"Konoha's most famous aristocratic family, the Hyuga Clan?"
After a series of simple exchanges on etiquette, Neji's calmness in dealing with the big scene won the unanimous affirmation of the representatives of the Land of Fire. "Not bad, not bad, the younger generation will surpass us in time."
Facing the praise of these big figures of the Land of Fire, Neji wasn't arrogant or impatient, he bowed slightly, calm and steady, quite the demeanor of an aristocratic family.
On the other side, Guy and the others who were sitting seemed to have nothing to do.
For this kind of cumbersome etiquette, Guy has always been difficult to deal with, so he had to sit there with his eyes closed. This was also the order of the Sandaime in advance. During the handover of the task, Guy sat quietly on the side, pretending to be arrogant and calm. Anyway, he didn't want to make a joke of himself and affect Konoha.
Regarding Guy's actions, Lee, who has always had the habit of imitating him, thought that it was Guy's unique practice, so he also sat there with a serious look. Only Tian Tian, who is familiar with him, knows that the former is just being careless.
She obediently stayed there without moving. Clearly, she did not have a lively and active personality. However, seeing that everyone was doing the same, she could only endure it.
Almost an hour passed, and the diplomatic dialogue between Neji and the representatives of the Land of Fire was finally over.
After the trivial things were over, it was finally time to talk about business.
"Guy Sensei, Lee, Tian Tian, please come and listen to the mission description." Neji turned back and said.
This matter is the mission of Konoha's Team Five led by Guy, and has nothing to do with Kirito, who is not a ninja, and Kirito came with them because of Tian Tian's personal invitation.
Therefore, Kirito didn't need to be present when the mission was handed over.
"Oh ~" After waiting in boredom for so long, Tian Tian finally let out a sigh of relief. She inwardly ridiculed the representative of the Fire Country who had nothing better to do and slowly stood up.
"… …" Tian Tian's eyes widened as she looked at Guy and Xiao Li, who were still sitting upright. She noticed that there was a faint trace of a scar on their lips, and she couldn't help but rub her forehead as she felt a headache coming on.
In this regard, Tian Tian couldn't help but feel sad for Neji in her heart. Neji's good image of Konoha's ninja in front of the representatives of the Land of Fire was completely wasted.
On the other side, Kirito had nothing to do with the upcoming mission. Out of boredom, he strolled around the garden of the famous mansion.
There were classical garden buildings with white walls and black tiles everywhere, making people feel as if they had stepped into a quiet and elegant paradise from the bustling world of mortals.
Kirito didn't have any particular purpose in mind. He just walked around casually. Before he knew it, he found himself in an elegant garden full of blooming flowers. There were trees, grass, rocks, and rocks all around him. There was a cobblestone path in front of him, and in the distance, there was a long corridor with red pillars and white walls. It was a picturesque scene.
Kirito walked all the way, and his eyes swept the scenery around.
He sighed in his heart, the place where the country's highest leader lived was really different.
Compared to this place, the "prosperous" Konoha was really like a small village.
Stopping in front of a building, Kirito noticed that it was an ancient building with black tiles and white walls. Four mythological beasts stood on the cornice of the first and second floors. They were the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. There was a bell hanging below each mythological beast. When the wind blew, the bell would make a crisp sound. It was especially pleasant to the ears in this soft and pleasant music.
Kirito looked around and saw that although the courtyard in front of the building was not big, there were lakes, stones, and rockeries, and the shape was lifelike, the structure was rigorous, and the level was clear. At first glance, he knew that it was designed by a famous designer. The most rare thing was that along the way, Kirito didn't find the slightest similarity in the scenery. These rockeries were really full of mountain paths, caves, valleys, dangerous roads, and cliffs. It really gave the feeling of "looking from side to side, the scenery is changing step by step".
Kirito was also a little stunned by this sight. He was used to seeing low-rise buildings and small bungalows in Konoha. Even the mansion of the Hyuga Clan, the largest clan in Konoha, paled in comparison to this building in front of him!
Although Kirito didn't know much about architecture, he also knew that the people who lived here must have a very noble status in the Land of Fire.
However, these had nothing to do with Kirito, with appreciation in his eyes, Kirito turned around and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, Kirito's ears moved, as an assassin, his five senses were extremely sensitive, and he vaguely seemed to hear the crisp sound of swords clashing in the distance.
And the direction of this sound was coming from the tall building in front of him.
"…" Kirito's brows slightly wrinkled, logically speaking, in a strictly guarded and fully enclosed mansion like the Daimyo House, it was impossible to have a fight, let alone the sound of real swords clashing.
Kirito stood in front of the gate and hesitated, but he heard the sound of swords clashing getting more and more intense, it seemed that there was a fierce fight in the building.
Kirito was a little curious, but also cautious, he decided to go and check it out.
