Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 26 Speed ​​through Peichuan

Peichuan Port.

A port city located in the western part of the Land of Water.

Its unique geographical location near the Land of Fire has attracted countless merchants traveling between the two countries to settle there.

Wealthy businessmen spend lavishly in entertainment venues, leading to an unprecedented boom in the entertainment industry and attracting a large number of tourists. Rich politicians gather here, transforming what was once a small fishing village into the most important transportation hub in the Water Kingdom.

As the saying goes, where there is light, there is darkness.

The convenient transportation has made this place a melting pot of all sorts of people. The city center is relatively stable due to the official control of the Land of Water, but the surrounding slums have become gathering places for yakuza.

"Hey! Old man, where's that good stuff you were talking about?"

Wen Pingyao, with his dyed yellow hair, wore a flashy Sukajan jacket, held a toothpick in his mouth, and hunched over, revealing the blue tattoo on his arm.

Seeing the fearful looks on the pedestrians' faces, he proudly tilted his head back and grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

"Boss, it's in my shop."

Absolutely stunning; in your words, it's definitely top-quality.

An elderly woman dressed in ordinary clothes stood by, smiling obsequiously, ignoring Wen Pingyao's rather impolite remarks.

Wen Pingyao was the boss of the neighborhood, and this whole area was under his jurisdiction. Even if he scolded her or slapped her, she would have to smile and accept it for the sake of her family's noodle stall.

Wen Pingyao curled her lip in disdain, thinking that these slum bumpkins were shallow-minded.

They're talking about top-quality goods; getting even a mid-range item would be considered a stroke of good luck.

On ordinary days, when he goes out, he can't even find a girl with fair skin to flirt with.

It wasn't until he'd been with the big boss once that he understood what true luxury was like. Wen Pingyao thought of the red-light district in the city center, smacking his teeth as if he could taste some unique feminine fragrance from the toothpick in his mouth.

moment.

The old woman led Wen Pingyao to her ramen stall.

It was just past noon, and the blazing sun was baking the air. There was only one person around the stall.

"When we get there, the boss is right there!"

The old woman pointed to the girl sitting in front of the stall, eating noodles with her head down.

Wen Pingyao saw it without her saying anything.

The girl had long, beautiful silver-gray hair draped over her shoulders, and her small body was wrapped in a white cloak. She was less than 1.5 meters tall and sat on a stool.

Her small, palm-sized face was so white it glowed without a single flaw. Her eyes were covered by a strip of cloth, making it difficult to see clearly, but just looking at her delicate nose and pink lips was enough to make a preliminary judgment about her true appearance.

Top-quality goods.

"It's a pity, he's so young and disabled."

The old woman glanced at Wen Pingyao's expression and said cautiously.

She hadn't yet collected enough protection money for this month, so in order to sell the girl, she deliberately didn't mention any of her shortcomings.

"You don't know anything!"

Wen Pingyao pushed the old woman so hard she stumbled, took two steps forward, and carefully examined the girl as he circled the stall.

A rare silver-gray hair-haired beauty, also sporting a special blindfold outfit.

If we take her to a big boss and train her, then sell her to those perverted, loli-obsessed rich guys in the city center.

I'm about to take off!!

Wen Pingyao was already imagining the dream life he would have after gaining the appreciation of the big boss.

"Boss lady, another bowl, please."

The girl scooped out the last noodle from the bowl and ate it all. She then gulped down the broth from the large bowl, patted her stomach, turned around, and called out to the old woman.

"Little sister, what's so special about this ramen?" Wen Pingyao, increasingly satisfied with the ramen, couldn't contain herself any longer and eagerly stepped forward: "How about I treat you to some meat?"

"Oh, okay."

The girl smiled with delight.

The corners of his mouth curved into a crescent moon shape, like a ragdoll cat that had finally found some dried fish.

Wen Pingyao grinned widely and spat out the toothpick from his mouth.

Looking at the girl with her backpack on her back, her white cane in hand, standing obediently in front of him, he felt as if God had sent him a money tree, seeing his orphanhood since childhood.

It also came with its own bundle and stick.

Just right.

Knock them unconscious with a stick, put them in a package, and take them away—that's the whole solution.

"Brother, my expenses for this month..."

Seeing that Wen Pingyao was about to take the girl away, the old woman couldn't help but remind him.

"I'll give you three days' grace."

Ignoring the old woman's pale face, Wen Pingyao coldly uttered a sentence, then impatiently grabbed the girl's white cane and walked towards the deserted alley on the east side of the stall.

Walk into the alley.

He looked around and saw that no one was there.

Wen Pingyao stopped pretending and reached out to snatch the white cane from the girl's hand.

A tug.

Didn't pull.

He gripped it tightly and pulled, but the white cane seemed to have taken root in the girl's hand. Wen Pingyao tried everything he could, but the white cane didn't budge.

?

Wen Pingyao slowly typed out a question mark.

Looking at the still smiling blind girl in front of him, Wen Pingyao's face quickly turned pale from impatience.

soon.

A series of blows and a man's screams echoed from the deserted alley.

There was no further news after that.

dong dong!

Hui Li walked out of the alley, leaning on her bright red cane. Behind her, in the sewage, crimson meat sauce was spread out and evenly spread.

When it comes to gathering information, it's definitely best to rely on local bigwigs.

Thanks to Wen Pingyao, who was always open and honest, Pei Chuan Port had a clear understanding of the map, the forces involved, and the troubles that should not be provoked.

Having just arrived, she didn't want to cause any trouble in the city.

After all, this is just a transit point; the ultimate goal is to reach Konoha in the Land of Fire as soon as possible.

"Boss lady, another bowl of ramen, please."

Hui Li returned to the noodle stall and put the white cane and bundle back in their original places.

"Okay, more..."

The old woman, who had been tidying up the dishes, smiled and then looked up, her face showing fear.

"You, you...he..."

The old woman peered into the distant alley, but saw no one. Before her lay only the unharmed Hui Li, and the bright red flesh at the metal tip of the white cane in her hand.

The old woman swallowed hard in terror, her legs trembling like a leaf.

"Can you hurry up? I'm in a rush."

Faced with Hui Li's urging, the old woman trembled. Ignoring her panic, she quickly cooked the noodles for Hui Li, soon placing them shakily in front of her.

"Miss, I didn't... Please let me go!"

The old woman talked for a long time but couldn't say anything. She was so anxious that tears streamed down her face, and in the end, she could only cry and beg for mercy.

Hui Li picked up a noodle and blew on it.

There was no comment on the old woman's behavior.

In chaotic times, the weak, in their struggle for survival, often have no choice but to embrace cruelty; she did, and so did the old woman. Hui Li didn't want to criticize this behavior.

"Slurp~ I killed that guy, and if you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll be in big trouble."

Hui Li took a bite of noodles and mumbled something indistinctly.

Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately knelt on the ground, crying and promising, "I will absolutely not tell anyone."

"Please!"

dong dong dong...

Hui Li continued eating her noodles, ignoring the woman kneeling and kowtowing.

"Glug... Glug..."

The soup quickly entered Gray Glass's stomach, the delicious broth bringing a lazy warmth that slowly dispelled the fatigue from fighting the Dark Fog.

"Waaaaah! Waaaah..."

From beneath my feet, strange whimpering sounds continued to come.

Hui Li put down the empty bowl and turned her head to look.

The old woman who had just knelt down looked at her pleadingly, her face covered in tears from the pain, her mouth open, blood constantly spilling from it, her tongue a bloody mess.

She actually bit off her own tongue.

"Woooo..."

Bang bang bang...

The old woman repeatedly banged her head against the ground, and soon her forehead was covered in blood.

“Cruel to others, cruel to yourself…” Hui Li packed her bags and stood up: “If I have the chance to return to the Land of Water, I will come here to eat noodles again.”

After saying that, he no longer looked at the old woman who was still kowtowing vigorously.

With a disdainful glance at the ragged commoners who dared not approach and were peering in their direction from the sidelines, Hui Li turned and walked towards the inner city.

……

Flower Street.

The first floor of Jinhui Casino.

Square stone pillars made entirely of marble support the golden hall, and countless chandeliers hanging from the ceiling make the hall even more magnificent.

The gambling table marked with the word "Sic Bo" was packed with countless gamblers.

"Leopard! Leopard! Leopard!"

"I won! I really won! A full 150 times!" "How many times is this?"

The onlookers roared excitedly, their eyes practically glowing as they watched the chips being spit out of the table.

the third time.

The croupier, dressed in a white shirt and black jacket and wearing a mask, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. Looking at the blind girl in front of him wearing a small cloak, the fear in his heart made him tremble all over.

There were three separate instances of odds as high as 150.

The chips in front of the girl were piled up like a mountain, and even a rough calculation showed that they amounted to more than 200 million.

The casino lost so much money, the big boss will definitely throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!
It’s over.

It's all over.

"Keep going! Are you going to keep going or not?"

The gamblers, who had crowded around the table, shouted and jostled to squeeze into the inner area, clutching their chips.

The girl only made three moves, and those who wanted to follow suit didn't even have time to exchange their chips. Now that they had finally exchanged their chips, they quickly urged the hesitant dealer to hurry up.

If the big boss comes soon, this opportunity to make money will be gone.

"Open it quickly!"

"Exactly, don't be afraid to drive."

The onlookers became increasingly booing and jeering.

Looking at the surging crowd and the blind woman who remained quietly seated, savoring her drink, the dealer dared not open the door again.

He ignored the gamblers' commotion, pretended not to hear, stopped shaking the dice, and silently waited for the big boss to come over.

Hui Li took a sip of the unknown juice in her glass. The sweet and sour taste gave her the illusion of returning to her past life.

The dealer's uncooperative attitude did not anger her in the slightest.

We're all working people, so we can understand each other.

Born under the red flag, she was a model youth with the best qualities in the world. However, the harsh living environment in the Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Water prevented her good character from ever being revealed.

He savored the juice in his mouth.

Looking at the mountain of chips in front of her, Hui Li felt a sense of satisfaction.

After leaving the slums, she headed straight for the casino. She probably wouldn't return to the Land of Water until she had the power to dominate the ninja world; before leaving, she needed to use her Byakugan's abilities to make one last killing.

The future life in Konoha is a relatively peaceful place.

There is no invincible power there; violence is less effective than money.

Of course, violence is quite effective in the Land of Water.

The white eye hidden beneath the blindfold of Hui Li had quietly opened at some point.

In the transparent world, three faint chakra reactions came into view.

There were only three ninjas in the entire casino.

The chakra response was extremely weak, almost imperceptible.

At first, she didn't dare to be careless, and she checked and scanned them again and again until she had observed them inch by inch. Only then did Hui Li realize with surprise that the other party really didn't seem to have anything special about them.

Only then did she realize what was happening.

Having encountered many demons in Kirigakure, her understanding of ninjas is now somewhat skewed.

In reality, there is a deep chasm between the ninjas of the five great ninja villages and the wandering ninjas of the outside world, and the ninjas of Kirigakure are the elite among the elite of the five great ninja villages.

Only by selecting the best from among the elite in Kirigakure, a village teeming with wise men, can one become the Kirigakure Anbu.

It would be absurd to say that a group of ninjas were all highly skilled individuals like the Mist Raven and the Bloodhound.

Da da da……

Just as Hui Li was pondering silently, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The tall bodyguards, dressed in matching black suits, pushed aside the gamblers watching outside the gambling table, using their backs to block the crowd and clearing a path between the doorway and the gambling table where Hui Li was.

The heavily pregnant boss walked towards Hui Li, escorted by bodyguards.

The onlookers dared not speak, but simply admired this famous bigwig of Pei Chuan Port through the human wall formed by bodyguards.

Is he the big boss?

Hui Li scrutinized the gang leader through the blindfold.

how to say.

This person was completely different from the boss in the movies of her past life. His face was not fierce and menacing. Instead, his chubby face gave off a strange kind of honesty.

He's less a yakuza and more a businessman.

"This...Miss."

The shop owner, Chongliu, looked at the blind girl sitting on the stool drinking juice, her feet barely touching the ground. He suddenly found himself at a loss for words when it came to the polite greetings he usually uttered.

"I don't like this title."

Hui Li slowly said, shaping the empty metal teacup in her hand into an adorable crow and placing it on the gambling table.

The owner of Chongliu revealed a knowing look in his eyes.

He turned around and looked at the three ninja bodyguards behind him.

All three shook their heads in unison.

They could turn iron into mud with one hand; without ninjutsu, they absolutely couldn't do that.

This bunch of rubbish!

They're all idiots!

The owner of Chongliu rolled his eyes, then turned around with a forced smile.

"Excuse me! My name is Chongliu Wenxiong. May I ask what your needs are?"

The boss of Chongliu became increasingly respectful. Having witnessed the true power of a ninja just two days ago, he was now filled with fear of all ninjas.

"Shall we go upstairs and talk?"

"Please come upstairs."

The owner of Chongliu raised his hand in a gesture of humility, adopting a very subservient attitude.

Hui Li jumped off the chair, leaned on her cane, and went upstairs. The pile of chips, stacked like a small mountain, was still on the table, but no one paid any attention to it.

Outside the human wall, the crowd, who were waiting to see how the owner of Chongliu would treat the blind woman, were utterly astonished by what they saw.

After the initial surprise, a variety of speculations emerged.

Some said the girl was a distinguished guest from the Land of Fire, others said she was the youngest daughter of the daimyo of the Land of Water, and still others were trying to take advantage of the girl's absence to steal the chips on the table.

The moment he reached out, the bodyguard slammed him onto the table, like a pig about to be slaughtered...

However, none of this has anything to do with Gray Glass.

The group walked up the stairs.

Second floor, individual cubicles.

Boss Chongliu sat opposite Huili with his only three ninja bodyguards.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"three things."

Hui Li held up three fingers.

At this point, Boss Chongliu no longer regarded Huili as an ordinary blind person. He straightened his expression and looked like he was listening attentively.

"I'm exchanging the chips for cash; I'll take them with me later."

"As it should be."

Boss Chongliu nodded, looking completely at ease. The bodyguard behind him, out of Chongliu's sight, smirked, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

I've never seen a boss like Chongliu show such respect for the rules before.

"A ticket to the Land of Fire."

"do you have any requests?"

"Safe and fast."

"Then it's just the Hope. It's a merchant ship that frequently travels between the two countries of water and fire, with established shipping routes, and it even has ninja bodyguards on board so it's not afraid of pirates."

"You decide what to do, but it has to be quick."

Boss Okuriyu turned to his bodyguard and said, "Yuta, go now."

"Yes."

The bodyguard's smile faded, and he opened the partition door to leave.

Hui Li was very satisfied with Boss Chongliu's pragmatism and efficiency.

"If you're going to the Land of Fire, would you like me to exchange your chips for the Land of Fire's currency? That would make it easier for you to use them."

The owner of Chongliu asked questions carefully.

Looking at the chubby boss in front of her, even though she knew he was utterly wicked, Hui Li found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

No wonder he can be a boss.

"Okay. Finally, give me a place to stay."

"The hotel is on the third floor of the casino; I'll arrange the best for you."

"Okay, the cost of the boat ticket and accommodation can be deducted from my gambling funds. Oh, and deduct an extra million."

"Why?"

The owner of Chongliu was somewhat puzzled.

"I killed one of your men named Wen Pingyao today; consider it payment for his life."

"This...you've gone to so much trouble."

The boss of Chongliu didn't know who Wen Pingyao was; he had plenty of Yakuza under his command. He smiled awkwardly.

"It's out of the way."

Having completely resolved the problem, Hui Li picked up her white cane and stood up.

In the slums, where people are often gossipy, she never expected that the decisive old woman could keep her secret.
