Tsukiman laughed heartily, not minding Naruto's vague answer.
He wasn't a narrow-minded person. Instead of dwelling on others' offenses and gains, he cared more about whether he was happy at that moment!
Moreover, influenced by his father, he had always disliked war and conflict. Forgiving others' rudeness and offenses was a state that a person of high position should have!
Besides, he was so rich that he didn't even have time to enjoy life. Why would he bother to argue with others?
"You're called Naruto, right? I see they all listen to you, so I guess you're the leader of this team. Does that mean you're a Jonin? You're really young and promising!"
Tsukiman inexplicably began to praise Naruto, and then, out of the blue, he took out a check and wrote seven zeros on it.
"Take it, this is a bonus for you!"
"..."
Looking at the check held in front of him, Naruto hesitated for a moment before taking it.
He didn't really care about the money. It was mainly because this Prince of the Land of the Moon really knew how to treat people!
As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face. Naruto wasn't the kind of narrow-minded person.
Tsukiman smiled happily when he saw Naruto take the check, and then said to Naruto and the others, "We're going to go shopping in Konoha Village and buy some things before we leave. Do you want to come with us?"
From the moment Tsukiman and his group arrived, the mission had already begun.
Naruto naturally had no reason not to follow.
He nodded to Tsunade and followed Tsukiman and Moonlight with Karin and the others.
Downstairs, a Land of the Moon team that was resting had been waiting for a long time.
As the prince of the Land of the Moon, he naturally couldn't travel with just his son!
"Your Highness!"
Seeing Tsukiman come out, the guards all stood up and bowed respectfully to Tsukiman.
And Tsukiman walked into the carriage with a friendly smile on his face.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!!"
...
Looking at this large team, Hinata and Ino, who were on their first S-rank mission, were a little surprised.
"As expected of a prince of a country, he's even more impressive than the nobles and wealthy merchants I protected before! Too bad..."
Ino glanced at Tsukiman's oily face and big belly, and was a little disappointed. "Too bad he's not handsome enough, and his son looks so old."
"If he were handsome enough, would you really go with him?" Naruto glanced at Ino and asked.
Ino's face turned red, "Don't think of me as a shallow woman. How could I go with someone just because a man is good-looking?!"
"Heh."
Naruto sneered and didn't say anything more.
But he clearly didn't believe Ino's words.
Ino wanted to argue again, but Naruto didn't want to listen anymore.
He told them to stand in the guard formation of a ninja team, escorting the team all the way out of Konoha Village.
Along the way, Prince Tsukiman bought whatever he saw. All kinds of food and gifts were packed into box after box! He was simply overflowing with money and didn't care!
Sometimes, when he ate something delicious, he would even buy the chef's whole family and have them move to the Land of the Moon!
Naruto could only internally criticize the great difference between the rich and poor!
After leaving Konoha Village, the length of the guard team was even greater than before.
Naruto roughly estimated that the entire team had grown by about five meters.
That meant two wagonloads of gifts and livestock!
Now their escort mission was even heavier!
Naruto quietly activated his Observation Haki, following closely beside the vehicle where Prince Tsukiman was.
That way, no matter how long the convoy was, he could ensure the safety of the team.
Of course, also the safety of his subordinates!
Karin, Hinata, and Ino were all the obedient type.
During missions, they basically never disobeyed his decisions!
If he told them to go east, they would go east, and if he told them to go west, they would go west!
This performance was also recognized by Naruto. If he was still a ninja, this kind of team could be maintained forever, so he didn't want them to be in any danger!
After leaving Konoha Village, the team didn't go directly to the Land of the Moon.
According to Tsukiman, his father wanted him to travel around the world, and he still had some places he hadn't been to, so he planned to go to them one by one.
Naruto didn't care about the distance; he just considered it a world trip.
The mission went by day by day,
Along the way, they encountered many attacks.
Some were bandits, and some were ninjas!
He didn't know if it was because Tsukiman was too flamboyant or if there were other reasons that made them targeted.
In short, the whole journey wasn't very harmonious!
If it weren't for Naruto and the others, this Tsukiman might not have been able to return to the Land of the Moon!
"Naruto-kun is really amazing. I knew I didn't misjudge you!"
Tsukiman sat in the carriage, very satisfied with his judgment of people, and then he wrote another check and handed it to Naruto.
"Are you interested in coming to the Land of the Moon to work?"
When there were many enemies, Naruto used a technique like the Eight-Span Jewel.
This super wide-range and gorgeous attack immediately attracted Tsukiman's attention.
He didn't completely care about Naruto's power. What he cared about was that Naruto's moves were flashy, and he wanted to carry them around!
Naruto glanced at the check – one billion!
This one check was more than the Land of Snow's annual tax revenue!
But Naruto still chose to refuse.
"I'm sorry, the education I received since I was a child doesn't support me doing this," Naruto said expressionlessly.
"Okay~"
Tsukiman could see Naruto's firm refusal, so he didn't force it and directly tore the check up and threw it into the trash can beside him.
"It's a pity, I really liked you."
"..."
Just as Naruto was wondering about Tsukiman's sexual orientation, Tsukiman said again, "I think if I took you to perform for Maya, she would definitely be willing to come back to my side."
"Perform..."
Naruto didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's thoughts all the time, so he didn't know Tsukiman's reason for wanting to buy him before.
He originally thought that Tsukiman wanted to win him over because of his strength, but now it seemed that he was treating him as a monkey who could perform!
"Who is Maya?"
Ino asked curiously.
"Maya is my wife, but she left me," Tsukiman sighed.
"Why?"
Ino guessed, "Could it be because she dislikes you for being too fat?"
"That's rude!" Hikari took his eyes off the game and looked at Ino.
"It's okay."
Tsukiman smiled, comforted Hikari, and then explained to Ino, "Actually, I wasn't that fat before, but Maya's departure made me very lonely, so I can only rely on eating to relieve this pain."
"I can't tell that you're a deeply devoted prince," Ino said in surprise.
"Of course, I only have Maya as my wife in this life!" Tsukiman said with a serious face.
"But you still flirt with girls."
