A bag of fairy beans and a pack of cigarettes, the god of Otsutsuki controls the day

Sasuke looked at the big tree in front of him and ran towards it with long strides.

"Sasuke, be careful!" Sakura couldn't help but remind him, remembering how Sasuke had failed several times before and had fallen bruises all over his body.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke jumped in front of the tree and ran directly onto the trunk. Although his steps were not particularly steady, there was no doubt that he had succeeded.

"It's done!" Sasuke was a little excited as he stood on the tree. The change in mood almost made his feet slip. He quickly stabilized his mood and then stood firmly on the tree.

Kakashi, who seemed to be reading a book but was actually observing a few people, couldn't help but have a new evaluation of Naruto.

"This kid cares more about his partners than I expected... I thought he and Sasuke wouldn't get along well, or at least have some minor conflicts, but it turns out that their relationship seems to be warming up day by day... ."

At first, Kakashi had carefully read Sasuke's experiences over the years. He had been practicing diligently since the night of the genocide, so he was always the No. 1 in the ninja school. Moreover, he did not make friends with anyone and treated everyone indifferently. It's cold.

Kakashi can actually understand this feeling to some extent. It's not that Sasuke doesn't desire friendship, nor does he really care about others, but he has firmly set his life goal as "revenge". For this purpose, he can regardless of costs.

He probably feels that he is already a person with no bright future, and becoming friends with someone like him will only drag down both parties and bring more pain.

Kakashi also thought this way when he was relatively autistic, but he later came out of it. Although he can no longer return to the high-spirited feeling when he was young, he will not stay away from strangers like he did when he was autistic.

But it is a pity that although ninjas always hope to turn themselves into ruthless tools and exist only for their goals, as long as they are human, they will always have feelings, and such things as ruthlessness cannot be achieved.

Sasuke himself probably didn't realize it, but he had begun to regard Naruto as a good friend. When he succeeded, his joyful eyes immediately turned to Naruto, which showed that he really wanted to get Naruto's approval.

What's even worse is that Naruto seemed to know this, as he was smiling and applauding Sasuke.

Kakashi couldn't help but turn his attention to Sakura at this time.

She also kept staring at Sasuke with a "look at me, look at me" look, but Sasuke's eyes were always on Naruto, which made her feel very lonely.

Kakashi came up behind Sakura unnoticed and patted her disappointed shoulder: "Sakura, it's useless just to look with hopeful eyes. Only when you also have a dazzling aura Only when others can’t help but look at you, so practice hard!”

"Kakashi-sensei... Wuwu..." Sakura suddenly collapsed.

However, Sasuke still didn't notice this.

After learning how to climb trees, Kakashi let them move around freely, and said that they could draw inferences by themselves and think of other uses that could be derived from tree climbing.

Sasuke stayed in the woods to practice, while Naruto went to the town. He planned to see what the towns of Wave Country were like.

Unsurprisingly, the towns in the Country of Waves are all broken wooden houses. The only difference from the seaside is that the houses are more densely packed.

He walked into the vegetable market and frowned even more - because this place could no longer be called a vegetable market. Most of the stalls were empty. There were only a few scattered vegetables for sale in a few stalls, but the quantity was too large. not enough.

Arriving at one of the vegetable shop stalls, Naruto only saw a dozen cabbages, a small bundle of radishes, a handful of green onions, and a small basket of potatoes.

Looking at the sallow and skinny vendor uncle, Naruto couldn't help but ask him: "I said... you won't sell all the vegetables you eat at home, right?"

The uncle sighed: "In order to make some money, there is no other way."

"But what should you eat yourself?"

"Sigh... It's all a nuisance, and I don't want to mention it. Do you want to buy groceries? If not, then leave!" The uncle was obviously so hungry that he was in a bad mood.

Naruto thought for a while and chose to walk out of the vegetable store and find an empty toilet.

After a while, he changed into Kakarot's account and walked over.

"Hey! Shopkeeper, your food is good."

Chapter 25 "Scum Lot"

The stall owner saw a strong adult coming, so he braced himself and asked him, "Do you want to buy vegetables?"

Kakarot took out a banknote from his pocket: "I can buy some, but you have to answer some questions for me."

When the uncle saw the money, his eyes immediately went straight, and he nodded repeatedly: "You say! As long as you buy my food, you can ask anything you want! But you put the money away first, so that the people in Kaduo can see that you have money. That’s bad!”

Kakarot was noncommittal and just asked him: "The resources of the Kingdom of Waves are so poor. From the looks of it, you probably don't have any leftover food. Why do you sell so much precious food?"

Hearing this, the uncle sighed and said: "I don't want to either, but...my wife went fishing in the sea a few days ago and wanted to get some meat for her son, but she accidentally fell into the sea. Although she was rescued, she was still alive. I’ve had a fever since then.”

"I've tried all the local methods, but they can't reduce the fever. Only the antipyretics in the pharmacy can work."

"But the pharmacy is opened by Kaduo, and I couldn't afford a piece of antipyretic medicine. I thought that the food prices in the market are very expensive now, so I took out the food at home..."

Kakarot frowned: "But even if you buy the medicine and relieve your wife's fever, what will you do if there is no food in the house?"

"I don't know! Common people like us don't have the ability to think about such far-term things. We can only take one step at a time. I only know that I can't just watch my wife die of illness!" The uncle had a painful look on his face.

"At worst, we will only eat one meal a day, and then use bark and leaves to satisfy our hunger. As long as the next wave of vegetables and grains mature, there will always be a way."

"So, where are the vegetables and grains you had before?"

"Sold to Kaduo. Last winter we had no winter supplies, so we had to borrow money and supplies from him. This spring, more than half of our harvest was given to him to pay off the debt."

"What should you do if you really can't make it to the next season?"

"Let's go to Kado for a loan again, we can't starve to death!"

"Then, the next season's harvest is used to pay debts, and you start to starve again. The next season's food has not been produced yet, and winter is coming again. What should you do this time?"

Before the uncle had time to answer this question, several ronin armed with samurai swords broke into the store. They were mercenaries under Cardo and were responsible for suppressing civilians.

When they came in, they naturally saw the banknotes in Kakarot's hand. In the Land of Waves, it is rare for people to take out such a large amount of banknotes. There is a high probability that they came here by accident. people.In their eyes, Kakarot was already a fat foreign sheep.

They put the cold steel knife on Kakarot's neck, and gently slapped his chin with the back of the knife, threatening him: "Boy, I am short of money recently, please bring me some money!"

"What will happen if I reject you?" Kakarot replied calmly.

"Reject? That's not possible. How can you refuse me?" The other party pressed the steel knife against Kakarot's neck, as if he was about to slit his throat in the next second: "In this town, there are Many people have rejected me, guess where they are buried now?”

"Hahahahaha..." Kakarot laughed coldly: "It seems you are always short of money? I have a good idea."

"Oh?"

"From now on, just have someone burn paper for you."

Before he finished speaking, the steel knife in the Ronin's hand broke and fell to the ground inch by inch. Then, Kakarot raised the Ronin closest to him with one hand: "Tell me, is my proposal good?"

The other party was so frightened that he could not speak clearly: "Oh...I...I don't want that!"

"That's not okay. How can you refuse me?" Kakarot smiled evilly and threw him out the door. He hit the rocks hard, making the sound of broken bones.

There was a sound of breaking wind behind him. It was two ronin trying to sneak up on him from behind. However, Kakarot just exploded the energy in his body, making their katana unable to move his body even one bit.

"You're so skilled at wielding the knife. It's aimed at the vital point as soon as you come up. Have you tried it on a lot of people?"

Kakarot dodged and held the two people over one by one, as if they were very close.

"You're dressed well and you look good. Tell me, what did you eat for lunch today?"

He heard the sound of teeth chattering, and the two people who were so murderous just now were actually trembling continuously.

"Don't be like this. Isn't it good to show off the momentum you just had? This will make me think that you guys are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Well... that way you will die even more miserably."

The two people who were frightened could only tell him tremblingly: "Lunch... lunch is beef stew with potatoes and tuna rice balls."

pop, pop, pop

Kakarot let go of them and clapped softly.

"It's great. Even I can't have lunch like this. Some people have almost lost their lives just to let their children eat a fish."

Then, he stared at the two of them with terrifying eyes: "It seems that you two live a very prosperous life. I don't know why you would like this 1 yuan bill in my hand?"

"I beg you, please let us go!" One of the ronin could no longer hold on and knelt on the ground, kowtowing uncontrollably.

boom!

Kakarot kicked him away, causing him to fall to the ground clutching his stomach in pain.

"Why did you answer the wrong question? This is not good. Answering others well is basic courtesy, isn't it?"

Then, he squinted at the remaining ronin: "You will answer my questions well, right?"

The other party immediately fell to his knees on the ground, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "I...we had a few full meals and felt a little stuffed, so we came to the street for a walk. We made an appointment before coming. If there is a beautiful woman, we can take it back with us. It’s cool, if you encounter a rich fat sheep, just squeeze it clean and then kill it; if you really have nothing to do, just smash up a shop and use it as an after-dinner exercise!”

"Louder, repeat it again, I want everyone to hear it!"

"Yes!"

The extremely frightened Ronin shouted out all the words he just said in a trembling voice, word for word, so that everyone in the market could hear clearly.

In an instant, their reactions were different.

Some people were furious, some clenched the knives they were using for cutting vegetables, some shrank but clenched their fists, and some pretended not to hear anything and left quickly.

"I remembered the days when I was practicing on the island." Kakarot suddenly seemed to be walking and chatting endlessly: "For a while, I was confused by some things and couldn't figure it out, and even my practice was delayed."

"Then I couldn't help it anymore, so I asked my teacher."

"The teacher told me that you don't have to be confused. As a human being, as long as you live in this world, even if you do nothing, you will become the enemy of some people. You don't need to do anything wrong. Most of the time you have something to eat. It all looks wrong to others.”

"What should I do? I asked the teacher."

"The teacher told me that if anyone refuses to let you eat, you beat him down and then reason with him. If he doesn't listen to the reason, you continue to beat him! If he still doesn't listen, you keep beating him until he He will never be your enemy again."

"Everyone, you see, the truth is that simple. You live your life as you should. Have you done anything evil? I don't think so."

"But even if you did nothing, they have already made up their mind to humiliate your wife and daughter, take away your money, and destroy your family business."

"Can you just hide away? Huh? Everyone, can you hide away?"

"Can your wife and daughter not go out? Can you not spend money outside? Can you hide all your stores?"

"If not, it will be you today, him tomorrow, and who will be the day after tomorrow?"

Having said that, Kakarot kicked the last samurai to the ground, then turned and left.

Before leaving, he turned his back to everyone and shouted: "I have not killed these three people. You can decide how to deal with them."

"Whether you give them a ride, save their lives, or leave them alone, it's up to you to do whatever you want."

Chapter 26 Heroes are immortal

After Kakarot left, the residents of the Land of Waves faced the injured three ronin. At first, they hesitated and did not dare to enter. They were afraid of retaliation after dealing with them, and they were also afraid that if these people came back to life, they would start to harm them again.

What ultimately decided their attitude was what the Ronin who woke up first said.

He struggled painfully on the ground and shouted at them: "Hurry up and help me up! If I die here, all of you will not end well!"

Several people were intimidated by these words and wanted to go over and help them up, but then, someone in the crowd murmured and asked themselves: "If we save them, will we have a good ending in the future?"

The few people who wanted to help him suddenly froze.

Yes, they were forced to express their thoughts just now. They were just full and full today, and they were just looking for trouble when they were idle and bored.

We have done nothing wrong, have not offended them, and are not even acquainted with them.

But they have already made up their mind to destroy one or some of them.

Even if we rescue them, what will happen next time when they are full?

There was a brief chatter among the crowd, and then everyone suddenly became quiet and stared at them.

The ronin who fell to the ground was a little frightened by that look. He yelled fiercely and wanted to intimidate them again, but the residents just came over silently.

Ronin saw the residents approaching him and extending his hand to him. He was overjoyed and thought that these people were still afraid of him and planned to give in.

However, the hand that reached out passed him and directly covered his mouth.

In an instant, he knew what this group of people wanted to do, but the residents immediately covered his mouth and nose, held down his body, held him and the two remaining ronin down, and dragged him to a dark place.

The remaining people brought water or brooms from their homes and cleaned the scene as if nothing had happened.

Everyone became very silent, no one said a word, just doing their work silently.

Not long after, Cardo's men came after hearing the news. They only heard that Mishima and others in Ronin had a conflict with others here, but they did not know the specific situation.

After arriving at the scene, they were a little surprised, because it was so normal here, and it was impossible to tell that anything had happened. The women squatted in front of the pool to wash themselves, and they only saw a few patched rags. The middle-aged man selling vegetables was still sitting half-dead in the stall, looking blankly at the door, not even paying attention to the flies flying on the vegetables.

"Weird, have we gone to the wrong place?" They were a little confused and grabbed a stall owner and asked: "Let me ask you, have you seen our companions passing here?"

The other person shook his head blankly, as if he didn't know anything.

"It's a ghost." They felt something strange, but they didn't quite believe their guess, because since the leader was beheaded two years ago, the residents here have been obedient sheep in the past few years and have never dared to Disobey them.

Besides, even if they wanted to resist, it was impossible for the three ronin to be subdued so quickly. How could these guys who were hungry every day have the strength to resist three ronin who were well fed?

In desperation, they had no choice but to leave this strange place and search elsewhere.

Naruto, who had been observing in the dark, was a little surprised at this moment, because the residents of the Land of Waves seemed to be more daring to resist than he thought. He just took the lead, and the group of people swarmed up.

He originally thought that this group of people would still want to act like an ostrich and continue to deceive themselves for a while, and would not take action until they were unable to retreat.
