Chapter 43: Exclusive Weapon - Lang Ya Bang (Wolf-Fang Staff)
As soon as the Daimyo spoke, before Aoyama Ruyun could say anything, Sarutobi Shinnosuke at the side directly stood up and spoke.
"Mbluh mblah! I don't need..."
*He means 'I don't need a reward at all.'*
In Sarutobi Shinnosuke's view, this was an opportunity to get on good terms with the Land of Fire's Daimyo.
Want a reward?
How could a reward be more important than the Daimyo's friendship?
Perhaps with this friendship, he might be able to become the Fourth Hokage in the future.
Unfortunately, this was all just Sarutobi Shinnosuke's own thinking.
He hadn't even finished speaking,
Aoyama Ruyun at the side directly grabbed Sarutobi Shinnosuke by the back of his collar,
and threw Sarutobi Shinnosuke aside.
"What the hell does this have to do with you? Who said the reward was for you!"
*Didn't you hear? The Daimyo specifically named Aoyama Ruyun.*
He clearly didn't intend to reward anyone else.
Hatake Sakumo and Yuhi Shinku both sat silently at the side.
Watching Sarutobi Shinnosuke, they also felt embarrassed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is a decent Hokage, how is his son so brain-dead?
"Hahahaha!"
The Daimyo didn't mind this, and instead laughed cheerfully.
"Go on, what do you want?"
Anyway, the Daimyo's residence has money. The Daimyo didn't care at all about giving a reward.
Based on the principle that only an idiot wouldn't take a free advantage,
Aoyama Ruyun said directly,
"In that case, then make me a weapon!"
"A weapon?"
The Daimyo was a bit surprised.
Even the retainers beside the Daimyo were a bit surprised.
They thought Aoyama Ruyun would ask for treasure, not just a weapon.
"That's right! Is there a problem?"
Aoyama Ruyun nodded calmly.
Money... Aoyama Ruyun didn't need it.
He just felt... he was missing something.
"Hahahaha! Fine, no problem. You can have any kind of blade!"
The Daimyo laughed.
The Daimyo had a collection of exquisite blades.
"Then get me a kanabo!"
That's right, Aoyama Ruyun felt he was missing a weapon.
For Kaido of the Beasts, the kanabo is his soul.
Otherwise, it's hard to even use Thunder Bagua.
And the stronger Conquest of the Three Worlds - Ragnaraku.
These moves all require a weapon like a kanabo.
"A kanabo!"
Okay, the Daimyo was even more surprised.
Although there were people in the ninja world who used strange weapons,
a weapon like a kanabo was usually only used by third-rate bandits.
Ninjas mostly preferred lighter weapons.
"That's right! A kanabo, preferably one that's about my height!"
"As tall as you?"
Looking at Aoyama Ruyun's nearly two-meter height,
the Daimyo wasn't worried about the money.
He just... a kanabo like that... could he even lift it? The Daimyo was skeptical.
"You don't have one?"
Aoyama Ruyun was a little disappointed.
"A weapon like that... I don't have one in stock!"
The Daimyo felt helpless. The first time... he couldn't provide something.
Mainly because what Aoyama Ruyun wanted was too strange.
"But it's fine. I'll contact the Land of Artisans later, have them make one. I'll definitely use the best materials!"
*I, the Daimyo, either don't do something, or I do it the best.*
Can't be helped, he's just that generous.
This time, Hatake Sakumo at the side couldn't help but stand up and say,
"Lord Daimyo, we are in a hurry. We need to go back and report the mission!"
"Don't worry!"
Seeing his worry, the Daimyo waved his hand indifferently.
"It's not a complicated item, just making a kanabo. It'll be fast. Rest here for one night, it will be ready tomorrow!"
"Very well, then!"
They were already here. Hatake Sakumo couldn't possibly disrespect the Daimyo!
He could only nod helplessly.
But looking at the carefree Aoyama Ruyun sitting there laughing,
Hatake Sakumo rolled his eyes in annoyance.
*This favor... wouldn't it be better to save it for later?*
*Insisting on a weapon... If you had said so earlier, couldn't I, Konoha's White Fang, have helped you?*
...
That night, Aoyama Ruyun, Hatake Sakumo, and the others,
stayed in the Daimyo's residence.
"The food, the lodging... in comparison, my Konoha is just a small village!"
Scanning the room's decorations, Aoyama Ruyun sighed in amazement.
Although the strength in the Daimyo's residence is nothing special,
they are really rich.
No wonder they say the Daimyo's residence controls the entire economy of the Land of Fire.
"..."
But Hatake Sakumo and Yuhi Shinku, who were preparing their sleeping arrangements,
after hearing this sigh,
both rolled their eyes.
*Calling the ninja village a "small village" so directly... is that really okay?*
"Aoyama Ruyun! After we get back, I will definitely report you to Lord Hokage!"
It was Sarutobi Shinnosuke again.
Although the swelling hadn't gone down, he could speak clearly.
"Shinnosuke! ..."
Hatake Sakumo was helpless. Sarutobi Shinnosuke was Sarutobi Hiruzen's son, after all.
If he was determined to make trouble, it would cause some problems.
In Hatake Sakumo's view, he hoped to mediate,
to ease the conflict between Aoyama Ruyun and Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
It's just that,
"Thud!"
With a dull sound, the indignant Sarutobi Shinnosuke instantly fainted and fell to the ground.
At the side,
Aoyama Ruyun, having just retracted his arm, had an indifferent look.
"So annoying, chirping away!"
He first gave Sarutobi Shinnosuke a look of disgust.
Aoyama Ruyun then looked at Hatake Sakumo.
"Oh right! Captain White Fang, what were you saying?"
"I..."
Silently glancing at the fainted Sarutobi Shinnosuke,
Hatake Sakumo didn't know what to say.
The conflict... clearly couldn't be mediated.
"Forget it. Anyway, with you... you probably won't be at a disadvantage!"
He felt helpless. Since he couldn't manage it, Hatake Sakumo stopped dwelling on it.
After all, with Aoyama Ruyun's strength,
no matter what trouble he encountered, he could smash it with one punch!
