Chapter 104: Before the Task, The Otter's Visit

  Several people, including Kakashi, set out on the same day after completing their mission. However, upon returning to Konohagakure, Kakashi didn't have any time to rest and had a new mission the next day. As a result, Mei became the leader of Team Minato for several days. One advantage of this was that while Minato and others were on missions, she could discuss knowledge about "Hoshikuzu Tensei" with Shalice in her spiritual world. Of course, Kamiru never spoke much to Mei, as she believed: "Meaningless words are useless even if spoken!"

  "Alas, Sister Carmel's temper is indeed unchanged. Sally, tell me, has Sister Carmel always been like this?" asked Meng Ling.

  "Of course, Carmel represents the 'fallen' among angels, so her mood is naturally very cold. And I represent the 'holy', so I like to talk more, as you say, my affinity is stronger." Sally's voice immediately came from Meng's mind.

  "What about me? I seem to recall that I can also transform into an... angel!" Meng Leng asked somewhat unnaturally.

  "What you represent is the 'Blood Sacrifice' among angels, anything that can be done with 'blood' you can do, so your mood is sometimes good and sometimes bad. You are also one of the few angels who can control their emotions at will." Said Sally.

  "So, there are more angels besides us?" Meng Ling asked.

  "Yes, and there's the Dream Angel representing 'Dreams', the Flame Angel representing 'Judgment', the Wisdom Angel representing 'Wisdom'..." Sally continued to give examples, while Meng Leng was unexpectedly listening intently.

  "Hey, Merein, the task of pulling out the weeds is already done." Just as Merein was still listening with relish to Sally's explanation of the angel's representative object, Naru came in front of her and said wearily.

  "Ah, got it (in my heart) Sally sister, let's talk later." Meng Ling said, and then directly stood up, patted the mud on her body, and took Naruto and others to hand in their mission.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  In Konohagakure's mission assignment place, Merei was leading Naruto and the others to hand in those trivial D-rank missions.

  "Alright, this time, there's a B-level mission for you." Nagato said calmly.

  "This time again is to protect who? The princess? Or..."

  "He is a subordinate of a friend that my older sister knows. He seems to be someone with good leg strength." Meng Ling said slowly after looking at the mission request letter this time.

  "Because Kakashi has another mission this time, so it's up to the four of you to complete this task." Tsunade said.

  "So, who needs protection this time? Where are they?" Naruto asked somewhat listlessly.

  "It seems that this time we have to go find them again, the client of this task seems to be unable to move, so this time we can only go by ourselves. If we're lucky, maybe we can find the person who needs our protection in one try, or maybe it'll take a few tries." said Meng Ling.

  "Why?" Naruto asked.

  "Generally, people with good footwork are restless and love to run around non-stop. If we're lucky this time, we might be able to catch him when he's not running wild, but it's also possible that we'll end up empty-handed." Meng Ling said.

  "It's really hard to serve you!" Sasaki said coldly.

  "No choice, everyone go back and get ready, gather at the gate at 1 o'clock in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, Meng Ling directly left here, with a target of Yile Ramen shop.

  Before this task, I'd better treat my 'temple of five organs' well and be luxurious for today. Meng Ling said with a smile, although he had obtained a lot of money from Kado and his economic problems were completely solved, but Meng Ling was still very frugal. The hardships of the past decade on Earth had made Meng Ling develop this habit, so even if he had money now, he was still a thrifty person. Of course, if he encountered poor people, Meng Ling would not be stingy.

  "Uncle, special edition Ninjutsu ramen. Huh......" Just as he entered the Yile Ramen shop, Meng Ling saw a figure that was very familiar to him. At this time, he was drinking tea.

  "You've finally arrived? We've been waiting for a long time." The newcomer wore a red cloud cloak, with a cold and stern appearance, the only distinctive feature being those apathetic eyes.

  "Uzumaki Naruto? You're here again, huh. The defensive measures of Konohagakure are really poor, aren't they." Miren said lazily and sat down beside Naruto.

  "What's going on? You're someone who doesn't enter the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, are you here to catch Naruto again?" asked Meng Ying.

  "No, there's something else this time," said the ferret slowly.

  "Hmm? It's really strange, what else can your organization do besides hunting the Tailed Beast?" asked Mugen.

  "That's right!"

  "Meng Ling, your ramen is here." Choupu handed over a large bowl of ramen and smiled as he reminded her.

  "Oh, thank you. (Turning to the weasel) So, if it's not to find Naruto, what brings you here this time? And where is your companion?" asked Mugen.

  "This time, Guiyu didn't come here, and this time I'm also representing the organization to find you."

  "What's there for me to look for? I'm not a pillar of humanity." Dreaming Leng said slowly.

  "It's related to what you did before becoming one of the Twelve Guardians," Tanuki said to Mugen.

  "Hmm? About what happened to me before, tell me, what was it?" Meng Ling asked with interest.

  "Weren't you in Takamaru Village a few years ago? At that time, it seemed like you also helped Takamaru Village capture a Tail Beast. It's already been caught by our organization, but the seal we can't unlock... Later, I heard that the seal was actually cast by you..."

  "So you've found me? You want to know the method of unsealing from me, right?" Mu Lin knew that there was also consideration for Konoha in Xiao Zhi's words, so he spoke freely.

  "The leader said that if possible, it would be best to take you back together." The weasel spoke to Meng Leng.

  "You mean you want me to join in?" Meng Ling asked.

  "That's how it is," said the weasel, "what do you mean?"

  "It's not possible now, I still have my own things to do in Konohagakure and I won't be able to stay there for long either. So for now, I'll just stay here. If it really comes down to a desperate situation again, then maybe I'll consider it." said Mugen with a smile.

  "Oh, is that so? So that means you were only in Konohagakure for your own purposes too?" Shiba asked.

  "Muyevillage is a good place, but some people just don't make me feel at ease. If I really fell out with those old guys, maybe I'd have to leave quietly." Meng Ling said slowly.

  "To be honest, at that time, maybe I'll really miss it. You were in the same mood back then, only your burden was probably much heavier than mine."

  "It seems you know quite a lot, so tell me, what's the solution to that sealed thing? I should probably head back and report too." The raccoon dog said slowly.

  "Hmm, since the annoying flies have arrived here, wait a moment." As she said that, Meng Ling took out a scroll and painted a Tai Chi diagram on it with ink that had an extremely high fusion rate of Chakra, then handed it to You.

  "Take it, this scroll can lift my seal once, and the Human Pillar won't die either. So I'm asking you one thing, if possible, please let that little girl go, after all she's also a very pitiful person. You should know something about the Human Pillar's life." Dreaming said to the raccoon dog.

  "Alright, then I won't stay any longer. If you have a chance, I hope you can take care of Sasuke more," said the tanuki.

  "Want him to take revenge on you? Although I know you've got leukemia, but this disease I am capable of curing." Meng Ling said.

  "You know a lot of things, but do you really have such abilities?" the weasel asked.

  "The last time you gave me blood, it had that kind of virus in it. As for the ability to treat leukemia, let's talk about it next time. I think you should be able to hold on for about five more years," Meng Ling said.

  "Hmm, it's fine like this. Then, I'll leave first." After saying that, the tanuki's body transformed into countless crows and flew towards the sky. Not long after the tanuki left, the personnel from the Dark Department arrived, and the captain of the Dark Department, who was wearing a yellow coat, took a glance at Meng Leng, who was still eating noodles in the ramen shop, before leaving with his subordinates.

  "Hmph, it seems that old man Tuan Zang has started to notice me. In that case, there's only one way to deal with this. Once I obtain the power of 'Red Eye', I'll just leave this place." Meng Ling said indifferently, and continued to enjoy his ramen feast.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  "Let's go!" Naruto shouted excitedly in front of the gates of Konohagakure.

  "What an idiot." Sasuke said calmly.

  "Hehe, it seems Naruto is still so impulsive..." Meng Ling said with a smile.

  "I wonder how long this peaceful life can last..."
