Chapter 81, Damn, It's Sasuke  

The chief guard in charge of protecting Shion is a tall and thin man with a peaceful appearance—Taruho.

As the guardian of Shion, they must be ready to sacrifice their lives for the sacred priestess. It is their most glorious mission to die for her.

"Lord Taruho, the ninjas sent by the Land of Fire have arrived."

"Got it. Arrange for them to stay in the hotel first." Taruho sat cross-legged on the floor, listened to the report from his subordinates, and waved his hand to dismiss them.

"The ninjas of the Land of Fire, from Konoha Village, are a group of disgusting people," Taruho muttered to himself.

He had no good feelings toward ninjas, thinking of them as demons hiding in the dark, whose actions always result in taking lives.

This contradicted his moral beliefs. If it weren't for the high-level officials of the Land of Demons seeking help from other major countries, he wouldn't even want to meet Naruto and the others.

"Miroku-sama, I wonder if Lady Shion will follow the same path as you. I really hope that day will never come."

The Konoha team arranged in the inn had different expressions, and Naruto, who always liked to cause trouble, was furious. "Madfuck, what's wrong with them? We are here to protect the priestess, and now they let us stay in the inn. Is this the way of hospitality in the Land of Demons?"

Neji patiently wiped the saliva sprayed by Naruto on his face and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry about these things. We just need to follow the arrangements of the Land of Demons. Even if some accidents happen, it won't be our fault."

Naruto replied, dissatisfied, "This is too irresponsible! We are here to protect the priestess Shion."

"Naruto, you are too naive. The politics here are complex. If we overstep our boundaries, we will get into unnecessary trouble."

Naruto showed his dignity as the captain, which made Neji a little unhappy. "Okay."

Just when they were at a loss, the people sent by Taruho informed them that they could go to the palace to see the priestess.

"Yes! I told you, there are no such unreasonable people in the world," Naruto smiled and kissed his lips.

The palace where Shion lived was decorated very grandly. After all, it was for the priestess to live in, and the position of the priestess in the Land of Demons was more prestigious than that of the daimyo.

Naruto looked around in awe, "It's so big!" With an unworldly look, Neji and the others kept a distance from him silently, fearing that others would misunderstand.

Taruho had been waiting in a side hall for a long time. Even though he was not very interested in Naruto and the others, he still showed due courtesy. "Thank you for coming to the Land of Demons to protect the priestess. Taruho is here to thank you."

Naruto sat down and said, "Hey, uncle, where is the priestess you mentioned? Is it convenient to bring her out?"

Sakura knocked down the guy who spoke without measure with a punch and hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Taruho. "Hahaha, it's okay."

Taruho didn't get as angry as Sakura and the others had imagined, he didn't even show any emotion.

In fact, it was Naruto's words just now that made Taruho change his views on them. "It seems that ninjas are not all cold-blooded guys."

Taruho briefly introduced the recent situation of Shion and the information about Yomi and others.

Neji put the teacup on the table and asked, "Does that mean that Lord Taruho hasn't seen Lady Shion for a while?"

"That's right. Since the personal guard named Sasuke was appointed by the daimyo, Lady Shion has not left the room," Taruho replied with a bitter smile.

"Only some of the attendants responsible for taking care of Lady Shion have seen him."

Naruto got excited when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Then can they describe the appearance of the personal guard?"

Taruho was used to this and said, "I have seen him once. After all, I have to take care of most of the things in this palace."

"What does he look like?" Naruto put his head close to Taruho.

"How should I put this? Anyway, Sasuke is a very handsome man," Taruho said.

"I have never seen such a handsome man in my life."
