Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 149 Superficial

"This female ninja must be from Amegakure!" The daimyo of the Land of Lightning, sitting not far from Hua Ling, asked when he saw the headband on Gu Xing's body. Several daimyo from smaller countries immediately chimed in to agree.

The Land of Lightning's daimyo wasn't the only one who had his eye on Lone Star, but after hearing what he said, who would dare to snatch the person he had his eye on?

The only reason to blame this female ninja is that she came from a small country. Even if it were a large country, it might not be able to protect her, and she would still have to be sent over there.

A sudden chuckle silenced them all.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to interrupt your conversation."

"But I'm really happy. I hadn't paid attention to this female ninja from Amegakure before. I didn't expect that besides that girl from Konoha who hasn't grown up yet, there was such a stunning beauty hidden here. It just so happens that I'm missing a wife, and marrying such a woman seems really good."

"You..." The daimyo of the Land of Lightning's face instantly turned red, clearly angered.

He couldn't believe that the daimyo of the Land of Fire would take someone from a small country as his wife, or at most a concubine, but he was really unwilling to give him up like that.

Even among the top geishas in the Land of Lightning, none of the princesses are as beautiful as her.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning suppressed his anger and said, "How does the daimyo of the Land of Shiranui plan to marry this wife? I've heard that Amegakure doesn't have much contact with other countries."

"That's alright, I have plenty of money."

"Preparing 500 million shouldn't be a problem, right?" Hua Ling rested her chin on her hand, pretending to think.

"Five hundred million!" Upon hearing this, the lords of other countries nearby gasped in shock. This was an amount that some small countries couldn't earn in ten years, and yet it was being given away just like that.

Immediately, someone couldn't sit still and spoke up, "Daimyo of the Land of Fire, my country has many beauties, and I'm sure I can find one whose looks are no less than those of the female ninja from before."

"I'll only accept 400 million, what do you think?"

Just as Hua Ling was about to refuse, another daimyo next to her spoke up first, "My country also has many beauties, three hundred million will suffice."

Two hundred million!

"One hundred million!"

"..."

Hua Ling watched them, and as they started arguing, she was speechless.

"How can this make her seem so superficial?"

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning was even angrier upon hearing this, his eyes filled with regret that he hadn't assassinated the daimyo of the Land of Fire earlier.

The match was still in full swing, and Hua Ling ignored them, focusing on the final match, "Uchiha Itachi vs. Sarai!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had obviously noticed this as well. He recognized the ninja; he was an elite Jonin from the Hidden Cloud Village who had disguised himself as a Genin to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Despite the Uchiha clan's great reputation, this person looks to be only about ten years old. No matter how strong a genin is, he could never defeat an elite jonin.

He immediately had an idea: "Daimyō of the Land of Fire, would you be interested in making a bet?"

"Alright, how would you like to bet?" Hua Ling wouldn't refuse something that was offered to her so readily.

"As expected of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he is indeed straightforward."

"If the Cloud Village wins, they have to give me 300 million ryo, and I also want that female ninja from the Land of Rain." The daimyo of the Land of Lightning stated his conditions directly.

"Deal, but if Konoha wins, I'll only ask for 200 million plus ten cows from the Land of Lightning." It wasn't that she didn't want more, but she was afraid the daimyo of the Land of Lightning wouldn't be able to afford it.

"Alright." A hint of joy flashed across the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

"I'm most afraid of people going back on their word. Just stamp it!" Hua Ling had her subordinate prepare a document and handed it over calmly.

The daimyo of the Land of Thunder hesitated for a moment. Hua Ling pretended to put it away, her eyes full of mockery, as if she was laughing at his fear.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning couldn't bear this provocation and immediately took out his seal and stamped it.

At the same time, the two main characters below began to fight.

Seeing Sarai steadily suppressing Uchiha Itachi, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning burst into laughter, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Hua Ling smiled without saying a word.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before it turned out that the person who had been fighting Sarai for so long was just a crow clone.

"How is this possible?" Sarai was incredulous, and in the end he lost because he ran out of chakra.

Hua Ling smiled, stood up, straightened her clothes, and before leaving, she added, "Oh, and remember to deliver the things to the Land of Fire on time."

This trip to the Land of Iron was really great; I made so much money for no reason.

"Ao, send someone to the Land of Rain to deliver this document to Hanzo the Salamander."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qing took the document and left.

"Zhishui, come with me to collect the money." Hualing changed into a purple robe, put on a mask, and headed towards the casino she had opened in the Iron Kingdom.

Kakashi and the others protected the scene from the shadows, watching as box after box of money was sealed inside the scrolls.

When it came to the last box, Hua Ling threw it directly to the location of Kaka Tibet. There was also a note on the box with three big characters written on it: "Protection Fee".

Back to the residence.

“Except for Shisui, Jiraiya, Asuma, and Kazuma, you take everyone back first.”

"I will stay in the Land of Iron for a while longer."

"I don't need to teach you how to do it, do I?"

Hua Ling glanced at the three of them to make sure there were no problems, then left with Zhi Shui through the back door, having also changed her appearance.

"Zhishui, you look quite handsome dressed as a samurai!" Hualing praised, then walked ahead on her own, never expecting that the taciturn Zhishui would respond to her.

This Uchiha Shisui is seriously inconsistent with his character in the story. What happened to the sunny and cheerful big boy we were supposed to be?

Hua Ling is now a businesswoman, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to hire a warrior to protect her.

As for his identity, it had been arranged long ago, so there was no way to find any clues.

On the way back home, Kazuma couldn't help but sigh, "Asuma, I suddenly feel like we're pretty useless."

"It's because the Great King is too capable that we look so useless."

Upon hearing this, Asuma fell silent. "It seems that's indeed the case."

Seeing their reaction, Jiroku laughed and said, "Why think so much? Just do what the daimyo has arranged."

“Indeed, Jiraiya is the one who thinks things through.” Kazuma chuckled upon hearing this.

"Kakashi-senpai, are we really going back like this?" Uzuki Yugao asked, standing on the tree trunk and looking back at the Land of Iron. She felt a little embarrassed that they had given her so much money.

"Yes, the mission is complete. I will report the details to the Third Hokage. Go back!" Kakashi replied and left in the direction of Konoha. The three behind him exchanged glances and followed.

Kakashi was already satisfied with his secret meeting with Uchiha Yoru while protecting the daimyo; he didn't care about anything else.
