Chapter 96: New Mission, News of Xiao Xue

  A peaceful life often makes people lazy, and today was no exception for Meng Ling. After waking up from his meditation in the Supply Tower, he went straight to a noodle shop to enjoy his breakfast. A few days ago, Gang had taken some time to check on the physical condition of Kakashi, Sasuke, and Xiao Li. Kakashi and Sasuke had both recovered smoothly from their treatment, but Xiao Li's situation was not looking good. Although Meng Ling himself had the ability to cure him without any risk, he didn't want to alter the plot too much, so he just let things take their natural course.

  "Ah, Lord Mei Terumi is here after all. The Fifth Hokage has summoned you." At this time, a nameless Jonin from Konohagakure appeared behind Mei and said so. It can't be helped, who made our Mei one of the Twelve Guardians of the Hidden Ninja Village in the past? Even ninjas older than her have to address her as "Lord".

  "Alright, got it, I'll go right away." Meng Ling quickly finished her breakfast and stood up.

  "Uncle, I've left the money here. I have something else to attend to, so I'll be off first," said Meng Ling, and with that, she vanished into thin air.

  At this time, in the Fire Shadow Hall, Meng Ling had already arrived here. Similarly, Kakashi also came here.

  "Tsundere sister, what's the mission this time? You've even called Kakashi-sensei and me here. It can't be another A-rank mission, can it?" Mei Ling asked.

  "Not bad, this time there is indeed an A-level mission, calling you and Kakashi over. Actually, it's because you and Kakashi have been there before, so this mission will be carried out by your team. I believe with your abilities, it shouldn't be a problem." Tsunade said with a smile.

  "Hmm, wait a minute, you're saying it's the place where Kakashi-sensei and I went before? Where is that?" Mei Terumi asked knowingly, but if she thought about it carefully, there was only one place where she and Kakashi had gone together before she became a ninja - the Snow Country.

  "The Snow Country, this time a film crew is going there to shoot a movie, so your mission this time is to protect these people." Nagi said slowly.

  "As expected." Meng Ling's heart was slightly excited: "I wonder if Xiaoxue sister is now an actress like in the original novel, maybe I'll see many familiar faces, it's really been a long time since we last met, there should be almost ten years of time since then."

  "Hmm, to be honest, Meng Ling, this time the person you need to protect is actually closely related to you." At this moment, Nagato suddenly blurted out such a sentence.

  "Huh? What does it have to do with me? No way, right? I don't even know her." Meng Ling was shocked in his heart, had Gang already found out that the Fuji Fubuki's painting was actually the princess of Snow Country, Fuyuka Shōsetsu?

  "Of course it's related. I just remembered a few days ago, Meng Ling, when you were one of the Twelve Guardians of Daming Fu, didn't you have another occupation?" Gang Shou said with a smile.

  "Is there another profession? What is it?" Meng Ling was a bit dazed.

  "You weren't a songstress back then, were you? I went to see it too, and they said you had a relationship with the person who was protecting you. But in fact, the one you were protecting was actually Fujiya Koharu, the heroine of the movie 'The Wind and Cloud Princess'. You know, you two are the biggest stars in the art world, although you haven't performed in a long time, but there's still a phrase circulating among various countries."

  "What was that? What did you say?" Meng Ling was already at a loss for words.

  "This sentence is easy to remember, it's 'The princess's movie is worth watching, the angel's singing voice is moving'. Don't you know that yourself?" Kakashi said from the side.

  "Huh? Wh...what does that mean?" Meng Ling still didn't fully understand, but she felt a lot more at ease. She had thought that Nagi already knew about Fugakusetsu's identity, but it seemed not to be the case.

  "It's clear what you mean, it's just that if we're going to watch a movie, Feng Yun Gong Zhu is definitely the first choice, but if we're going to listen to music, Shou Hu Tian Shi's heavenly voice is unmatched. Meng Ling, your reputation isn't small at all. Shouldn't I ask for an autograph from you?" Gang said with a teasing tone, pointing at Meng Ling.

  "Big sister Gang, don't laugh at me anymore. You should know that I haven't sung a song in a long time." Meng Ling said somewhat helplessly.

  "Hehe, that's enough idle chatter for now. Let's have the client of this mission and all of you get to know each other." As soon as Nagi finished speaking, the doors of the hall slowly opened, and then an old man with glasses and another old man wearing a duck tongue hat came into the hall.

  "Hello, we are the ninjas on this mission. My name is Kakashi Hatake, nice to meet you." At that time, Kakashi also put down his "Makeout Paradise" and went to greet them.

  "This time's mission is entrusted to you, first let me tell you that this time's mission is very troublesome, because the person you need to protect often likes to do some headache-inducing things." Meng Ling recognized that the speaker was San Da Fu, so she also knew what this mission was all about.

  "Alright, since that's the case, I'll go call Naruto and the others over now. Kakashi-sensei will tell us about the mission details later." As he said this, Tsume prepared to head outside, but was called back by Nagato.

  "Take them to see this movie, it might help with your mission." With that, Nagato handed the four movie tickets to Mei Ling. After receiving the tickets, Mei Ling left the Fire Shadow Hall immediately. She wasn't interested in explaining the mission and would rather spend her time taking Naruto and his friends to the movies.

  "The Storm Princess", I wonder what this movie is about, really looking forward to it, and this time I can also see Xiaoxue sister, the benefits of this task are many. It seems that Xiaoxue sister will change a lot this time, I don't know if this task will encounter those bastards like in the original story, if I really encounter them, then I won't let them off this time. A cold glint flashed in Meng Ling's eyes, and immediately returned to its original state.

  After that, Meng Ling called up Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura to watch a movie together. The three of them said that even when watching movies, they had to train, so they hung upside down from the ceiling of the cinema. On the other hand, Meng Ling directly took a bucket of popcorn and sat in her seat enjoying this relaxing time. Of course, Meng Ling still wore sunglasses while eating, after all, she was now also a celebrity just like Fuji Kaze Yuki from "Wind Cloud Princess".

  Just like the original, towards the end of the movie, Naruto also started shouting excitedly. In the end, three people were directly booed out by everyone in the audience except Mengying.

  There was no way, only after Dreaming Ling was left alone, she also felt that there was nothing interesting, just as the movie was about to end, Dreaming Ling took the unfinished popcorn and followed Naruto and others out of the cinema.

  "How was it? This movie wasn't bad, right?" Meng just came out and asked the three people beside her.

  "The Wind Cloud Princess is simply too handsome." This was Narutomaki's response.

  "Idiot." Sasuke retorted immediately after hearing Naruto's words, as if he was waiting for it.

  "What did you say, Sasuke?" Next thing, Naruto started his own rampage time.

  …………

  "Ah, Kakashi-sensei is so slow." After about an hour had passed, Sakura began to complain.

  "It's always like this." Sasuke replied coolly.

  "Never mind, let's just wait here obediently, otherwise we'll be late again next time." Meng Ling said with a smile.

  "Ah, if only one day I could protect a princess like that, that would be the true life of a ninja." Naruto said wistfully, looking at the huge billboard on the gate.

  "That's just a fantasy." Sasuke replied calmly.

  "By the way, why did Kakashi-sensei ask us to watch this movie before doing this mission?" Sakura asked.

  "I know, because our mission this time is related to this movie." Meng Ling smiled and replied.

  "This is obvious. By the way, Meiying, your speech is becoming more and more like Kakashi-sensei's, it's as if you're saying nothing at all." Sakura said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

  "Ah. Hehe, is that so? Hehe!" Meng Ling also felt a bit embarrassed, and simply scratched his own head in a silly manner.

  Just then, a series of horseshoes sounded from behind the gate, and under the astonished gaze of several people including Naruto, Fugaku Uesugi rode out on a sturdy white horse. Immediately afterwards, the gate opened, and a small team of knights appeared in front of everyone, chasing after 'Princess Fuu'.

  After seeing this scene, Naruto said 'I'll protect the Wind Cloud Princess.' Then he followed the team and rushed forward.

  Next thing also same as the original, Meng Ling was just watching by the side of the live-action version of "Snow Princess Ninpō" waiting for Kakashi's appearance.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Kakashi appeared in front of everyone after a series of commotions, and then brought along Mei Terumi and the three of them arrived at the studio of the film crew. Meanwhile, Naruto chased after Fūjin no Yuki and left the original location early.

  "Hehe, I'm afraid Naruto must be having a tough time now, running around everywhere for the autograph of Fugaku Uetsu's sister, but that's also what makes Naruto interesting." Muyong had just sat down and looked at the current time, knowing that Naruto was definitely practicing horse riding with Fugaku Uetsu on the main road.

  At this time, San Dafu and the director of this film have also arrived here.
