Zephyr followed behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and soon arrived at the reception room.
Just at the door of the reception room, there were four guards standing.
Responsible for the safety of daimyo.
The Daimyo of the Fire Country waited in the reception room for a long time.
"You two, please come in."
The person in charge of the reception said to Zefeng, Hiruzen, while opening the door to the reception room for them.
Hiruzen nodded his thanks and walked in first.
Zefeng followed closely, observing the layout of the room at the same time.
The whole room is not too big, and the internal layout is very simple.
There was only a long table and a few simple pots of green plants.
On the ceiling is a chandelier.
There is a vent above the northeast corner wall.
"There are no windows." Hefeng's eyes narrowed slightly and he thought to himself.
Not only does this room have no windows, the table is also over ten meters long.
The daimyo sat in the inner position, with strong bodyguards on both sides.
Due to the length of the table, it is difficult for ordinary people to launch a fast break.
In addition, there are no windows around, which eliminates the possibility of a sneak attack from the outside.
Apparently...
The structure of the entire room was specially designed for the safety of the daimyo.
As for himself, a hero of the equal war, he was placed opposite the daimyo.
A table away from him.
On the contrary, the seat of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, was placed on the left hand side of the daimyo.
"Are you wary of me, a Konoha ninja?"
Hefeng thought to himself, and simply pulled out the chair and sat down.
At the same time, the name was observed.
It is different from the daimyo that appears in Shippuden.
The person who catches the eye of Hefeng is younger, with no wrinkles on his face.
Wearing a loose coat and a fan-like headdress on top of his head.
Such a dressing style is quite funny in the eyes of Zefeng.
But the first person to speak was Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.
He said a few words to the daimyo, and asked Zefeng to stand up and say hello to the daimyo.
And rebuked Zefeng for his rudeness.
He actually sat on the chair without the daimyo's permission.
"That's it, that's all."
On the contrary, the daimyo waved his hand, not caring about such a trivial matter.
"I heard that Konoha's peace not only settled the dispute between Konoha and Kumogakure, but also defeated the Fourth Raikage."
"I thought He Feng would be a mature and heavy man."
"I didn't expect him to be much younger than I thought."
The daimyo looked at Zefeng and praised him with a chuckle.
And he made a gesture to the guard beside him, asking him to hand over the box in his hand to Ze Feng.
"Yes, Lord Daimyo."
The guard answered neatly, walked to Zefeng's side in three steps and then put the box on the table in front of him.
"Open it and take a look, Zeifeng." The daimyo said slowly, indicating that Zephyr could take a look at the contents of the suitcase.
In his heart, he had already foreseen He Feng's shock when he saw the contents of the box.
"good."
However, Ze Feng's reaction was very dull. He fiddled with the switch on the box with both hands and opened it.
The item that caught his eye was none other than a banknote of the largest denomination in the Land of Fire.
Neatly placed in the box.
With just a quick glance, Hefeng estimated the weight of the money.
Probably between 20 million and 25 million taels.
It is equivalent to the reward for completing ten S-level tasks.
It has to be said that for ordinary ninjas in Konoha, this much money is enough to make their blood boil.
But you have to know...
Hefeng sold Kirabi to Yunyin Village not long ago.
The property obtained is 600 million taels.
Although he handed over part of it to the top management of Konoha, he still kept part of it as the cost of maintaining security in the village by the Konoha Police Department.
Just over 20 million taels.
It really didn't interest him much.
After a brief glance, he closed the box.
Then he looked at the Daimyo expressionlessly.
This time...
On the contrary, the daimyo, a big shot who thought he was well-informed, couldn't help but be startled.
Why is this Zephyr not excited at all?
Or……
Suddenly, the daimyo seemed to understand something.
The stunned expression revealed a smile again.
He felt that he must have said nothing, so He Feng did not realize his intention.
"This money is a reward for you."
"Thank you for repelling the invasion of Kumogakure and protecting Konoha."
So, the daimyo spoke again, emphasizing to Hefeng that the money was a reward for him.
"Oh." Hefeng nodded, indicating that he understood.
The scene fell into silence once again.
No.
Not just quiet.
The daimyo and Zefeng looked at each other, their eyes facing each other.
Instead, it made the atmosphere a little awkward.
"Ahem."
At the critical moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his throat and said, "Zefeng, why don't you quickly thank the Daimyo for the reward?"
"Oh, thank you." Zephyr glanced at Hiruzen and said lightly.
Quiet again.
The atmosphere became very awkward again.
Zephyr had neither the excitement of getting a reward nor the excitement of getting money.
His expressionless approach caused a sense of frustration in the daimyo's heart.
You know, ordinary ninjas will dance with excitement just when they hear their summons.
Not to mention getting your own reward.
A plain ninja like Zefu.
This was his first time seeing it.
"Aren't you happy?"
Finally, the daimyo couldn't help but speak, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Where are you happy?" Hefeng tilted his head, showing a puzzled expression.
"No matter what, I am now the captain of the Konoha Police Department."
"If I'm happy for a mere tens of millions of taels, then my tolerance is too small, right?"
"and……"
"The war between Kumogakure and Konoha is not the only one I have put down."
"Also repelled the surprise attack from Kirigakure Village."
"Killed two powerful men, Raikage and Mizukage."
"The reward given by the daimyo should be more than just this little money, right?"
Zephyr said without thinking.
Before coming here, he had imagined more than once in his mind what kind of reward the great names of the Fire Country would give him.
For example, promoting yourself as a Hokage candidate.
Or simply name yourself the Fifth Hokage.
result……
That's it?
A mere two million taels?
Send away beggars?
Kazuo, who didn't have a good impression of the daimyo at first, became even more disgusted with the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"One, a little money?" For a moment, the daimyo couldn't help but blink his eyes hard, seriously doubting whether he had some hallucination.
Otherwise, how could you hear such outrageous words?
Almost as a subconscious reaction, he turned to look at Hiruzen.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Are all the ninjas in your village so rich?
More than 20 million taels is just a little money?
"Zefeng." Hiruzen saw this and hurriedly chanted Zefeng's name.
Remind him that this is no ordinary money.
It is a reward from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
It is the highest honor.
"So, the daimyo's reward is really only this amount of money and nothing else?" Zephyr glanced at Hiruzen and couldn't help asking.
