Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 55 Special Weapons Require Growth

Two more days later.

A small town on the border of the land of rivers, with a street lined with hot springs.

Because the Konoha ninja uniforms were too conspicuous, Chiga and his two companions had already taken off their ninja attire and were now dressed as ordinary people, walking down the street.

After all, they were now in a town, surrounded by many people and eyes, and no one could say for sure whether there were enemy ninjas disguised like them among them.

The town is quite prosperous, with wide streets lined with all kinds of hot spring inns, hotels, and casinos.

There's even a red-light district, where scantily clad young women seduce passersby.

"Minato-senpai, our base isn't in here, is it?"

Chika glanced at Minato and asked.

"How is that possible?"

Minato shook his head and continued, "I don't even know the exact location of the base. We need to find someone here who can take us there."

"That's a real shame. I thought I'd be able to go in and experience it!"

Chiga looked at the young ladies with curiosity and a sense of exploration, feeling a little regretful that she hadn't been able to experience it in both of her lives!

Minato rolled his eyes at Chiga. "Don't be ridiculous. Haven't you memorized the three forbidden ninja rules?"

"It's just curiosity."

"Ha, curiosity is fine, but the problem is, at your age, do you even have the weapons to fight them?"

Minato looked at Chiga's lower body with a faint smile.

After making boasts to each other that night, the three of them became quite familiar with each other and could even crack harmless jokes from time to time.

"Minato-senpai, you're being a bit disrespectful. Even if we don't have weapons to deal with them, are we just going to let them provoke us?"

Chiga couldn't help but feel a little angry. We ninjas should not be afraid of temptations, difficulties, or threats. Even without weapons, we should not be afraid of death and forge ahead!

Minato glanced at Chiga helplessly and said, "Alright, stop fooling around. After the mission is over, I'll invite you guys over for a hot spring bath. We haven't had a proper pampering in days."

After saying that, he led Qianhe Kakashi and the other person into the bustling street.

When the group of young women saw Minato and his two companions, their eyes lit up.

The two children were automatically ignored by them, since they were too young and their weapons were not yet fully developed, posing no threat whatsoever.

But that young man was different.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a handsome and sunny young man here!

"Hey handsome, wanna come in and have some fun? It's really comfortable!"

"Yes, yes, handsome/beautiful girl with a sweet voice, she's good at all kinds of positions!"

"Handsome boy, don't stay silent, are you shy?"

"Oh, handsome, you're making me like you more and more!"

Minato remained unmoved by the temptation, his face expressionless, not daring to utter a single word.

He knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, these young ladies would pounce on him like hungry tigers and devour him alive.

Of course, this is not the main reason. After all, being devoured alive by such young ladies is a dream for many men, and his teacher was just like that.

The main reason is that there is another disciple of Kushina in his class.

He was certain that if he glanced at these young ladies even once, Qianhe would definitely use it to threaten him, given her personality.

The three wandered aimlessly through the town for a while when suddenly a few begging children approached them, seeing that they were strangers.

"Big brother, I haven't eaten for three days, please give me some money!"

"Big brother, please!"

Chiga glanced at the children; the older ones were about his age, while the younger ones were only three or four years old.

Each child was extremely thin, and it didn't seem like they were faking it.

However, such war orphans are common in the ninja world, and Chiga did not feel any sympathy; he simply watched coldly.

However, when Minato saw the group of children coming up to beg, his eyes lit up and he quickly took out a bunch of coins from his pocket.

And it was distributed to each orphan.

"Big brother, I don't have many left either, so I can only give one to each of you. I'm sorry."

Minato spoke with deep sympathy as he spoke, a tear even welling in his eyes.

Chika and Kakashi exchanged a glance, knowing that Minato wouldn't do something so pointless during a mission.

Moreover, Minato's acting was too fake.

After the Water Gate was distributed, most of the orphans left happily with the Water Gate coins. Only one child glanced at the coin and saw a scratch on the front of it, and immediately understood.

He glanced at Minato without saying a word, and then walked forward after Minato noticed him.

"Keep up, and watch out for the people around you!"

After giving instructions to Chika and Kakashi, Minato followed behind the child.

Chiga and his two companions followed the child at a distance, winding through several streets. As the crowds around them gradually thinned out, only a few ragged people wandered aimlessly along the road.

Their eyes were empty, as if they had lost all hope in life, like walking corpses.

Led by the child, the three arrived at a dilapidated temple.

Just then, a middle-aged man noticed the arrival of Qianhe and his two companions and came out cautiously.

The child leading the way saw the middle-aged man, stepped forward, and handed the coins in his hand to him.

The middle-aged man examined the coin carefully, his expression slightly relaxed, but he remained vigilant. He then made a few hand gestures toward the water gate.

Minato also made several different hand gestures.

Only at this stage is the docking considered complete.

Minato and the middle-aged man both breathed a sigh of relief.

"You arrived a day later than expected."

"Sorry, I took a slightly longer route because I didn't want to clash with the Sand Ninja."

The middle-aged man nodded, then took out a scroll and handed it to Minato, saying, "This is the intelligence you need for this mission. Please keep it safe!"

"Thank you for your help."

Minato took the scroll and then said, "Now that the intelligence transmission is complete, we'll take our leave!"

The middle-aged man nodded and did not try to stop him. This hideout was already extremely secretive, and the sooner he left, the less likely he would be to be exposed, and the safer he would be.

Seeing this, Minato said no more and led Chiga and Kakashi away from the dilapidated temple.

"Alright, we've obtained the intelligence scroll, so the mission is more than half complete."

As he left the dilapidated temple, Minato turned around and said with a smile.

Chiga's eyes lit up: "So, does that mean we can go to the hot springs now?"

"Um!"
