The trip to the shrine was naturally over without the beautiful witch entering the country, and then the three of them and one dog crossed the border of the country of fire smoothly and entered the territory of the country of soup.

As the name suggests, the land of hot springs is a country of hot springs, with many volcanoes in the country, full of geothermal heat, and hot springs are famous in the ninja world.

Naturally, when a group of people enter such a famous hot spring country, how can they not soak in the hot springs?

Thump~

One after another, the sound of light or heavy human body entering the water sounded.

"Wow~ It's so comfortable, my old arms and legs are all fluttering, it's almost like ascending to heaven, it turns out that this is a hot spring, it's really different from a simple bathhouse!"

Jiu Xinqi lay in the hot spring pool, moaning in fascination.

Flutter flutter puff ~

The dog paddled the water, pulled up the curtain in front of him, and was about to get into the other side!

"No, you can't go over there! It's a men's bath, how can you go there as a girl!"

Jiu Xinqi hugged the disobedient dog hard.

"I'm going to be with Sakaki-sama!"

"Even if it's a sakaki, it's definitely not going to work!"

Jiu Xinqi is really a headache, these days after getting along, she knows how loyal the dog is to Sakaki, how defenseless, in case Sakaki shamelessly attacks the girl, it will be the worst tragedy.

She thinks it's her duty to stop Sakaki and save the ignorant girl!

"What's the fuss?"

Sakaki's head popped out from the side of the curtain, and Kushin was startled, and Inuko took the opportunity to swim up to Sakaki and stand in his usual position.

"You... You guy came to this side, damn it, it's so shameless!"

"Hey~ Why do you want to stay in this small broken hot spring hotel, in this kind of small mixed bathing hot spring, there is a ghost use for separating a curtain!"

"Damn, it's not to blame you, I don't bring money when I go out, of course I have to save it, you spend my money all the way, and you dare to think about it!

You... What are you looking at, you guy? Turn around and don't look at me!"

Feeling Sakaki's sharp gaze, the originally menacing Jiu Xin suddenly blushed, clutching his chest and retreating at the speed of light.

Sakaki turned around as he said and saw the dog, his clean and slippery body looming in the steaming hot spring.

In this regard, the dog is much more atmospheric than Jiuxin, and does not avoid Sakaki's gaze, without the slightest shyness, but his empty eyes are scanning up and down on Sakaki's body, not knowing shame, just like Sakaki.

Bang blah blah blah blah~

The sound of water sounded, and then a voice sounded from behind the Sakaki tree.

"Sakaki, what are you looking at?"

"Inuko!"

"Is it pretty, what do you think?"

"If you think about it carefully, white and tender is much more comfortable than dry and shriveled!"

"Die, pervert!"

Jiu Xinqi turned into a 10,000-year-old witch, stretched out her palm that was as dry as a chicken's claw, and slapped Sakaki back to the opposite side of the curtain.

Quiet, hot springs.

For a long time, Jiu Xinqi leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool and smiled soothingly.

"I finally got what I wanted to soak in the hot springs of Yunokuni today, and when I was very young, I heard that the hot springs here are great, and I wanted to visit them......!

"Didn't you never come out of Konoha that year?"

"Eh, I haven't left the village since I came to Konoha, but that year happened to be the year I went to Konoha!"

Jiu Xinji's expression was a little sad, and he fell into the memory.

"At that time, my family and country were shattered, and I was a little girl at a loss, I only knew how to cry, such a girl would not survive in the troubled times!

Actually, I didn't speak at the time, and I was even hostile to the people of Konoha, this kind of child is actually the most unwilling to be saved! But they seem to need me very much, even if I refuse to leave, they also took me all the way out of the country of Vortex, took a boat to the land of Yu, and escorted me all the way to Konoha!

I still remember the expressions of those people, their attitude towards me was not good, they didn't want to save a foreign child, they just needed me, I actually didn't like to change them, if it wasn't for Mito-sama, and ...... Watergate"

She suddenly reacted and said.

"Aha~ I can't help but fall into the memories of the past, don't care, don't care. ”

"Don't care... Actually, there's one thing I'm quite concerned about, the purpose of your departure from Konoha ......"

Sakaki always felt that Jiu Xinqi's trip was not as simple as a trip to the mountains and rivers, and she always had a goal in mind.

This trip controlled by Jiu Xinqi seems to be a tour of the mountains and rivers, but in fact, it has always been moving towards that fixed goal.

Somehow, Sakaki vaguely felt that there was something unsettling in it.

Jiu Xinqi was silent for a while, and there seemed to be a shadow on his face.

Actually, I do have a goal for this trip!"

"Can't tell?"

"I want to retrace the path I took to Konoha and finally return to my hometown, the country of Vortex......"

There is still an unfinished meaning in Jiu Xinji's words, but since he chose not to say it, Sakaki didn't say much, probably when he arrived in the country of the vortex, everything would be revealed.

"So, what you call leaving with me! Actually, you're just looking for me to be your bodyguard and escort you to the Vortex Country, right?"

"That's it, do you have any grievances?... No, aren't you disappointed, Mr. Bodyguard......"

As he spoke, he snorted, and he couldn't help laughing!

……

Sakaki faithfully fulfilled his duty as a bodyguard, escorting Kushina all the way to the port of Yunokuni, although most of the time was spent on sightseeing.

Port.

"Three people and one dog, the ticket price is 500,000 silver!"

"What! 500,000 silver, so expensive, I only have 100,000 silver on me!"

When the shipowner heard this, his originally enthusiastic face suddenly pulled down, and Jiu Xinji pleaded.

"Boss, can it be cheaper?"

An old woman's plea could not arouse the slightest pity from the shipowner, but it was a beautiful young **, which couldn't help but make his eyes light up.

"Mother-in-law, 100,000 silver is not enough at all, I can only buy a children's ticket, I can take this girl over, of course, if you are willing to let her accompany me, I can consider it... Ahh

The shipowner let out a terrible scream, and Inimaru, who was loyal to his lord, bit down on his inflated core with a ferocious bite.

"Shipmaster!"

The shipowner's sailors rushed up loyally, and Sakaki smiled.

"Interesting!"

Splinters.

Or, with a dark face, dragged Sakaki out of the chaotic hut.

"I haven't collected the loot yet!"

"Isn't this a robbery? Don't do that! Let's go to another house and ask!"

Jiu Xinqi went back and forth, walked all over the port, asked about the price of the ferry ticket, and finally returned disappointed!

"Damn, the cheapest ticket costs 300,000 silver, and our 100,000 is not enough at all!

Jiu Xinzhu said a little frustratedly, if you can't afford a ticket, you can't take a boat to the country of the vortex, here and the country of the vortex are separated by a sea, except for the boat, there is no other way to go!

"I don't have any money, just go and grab it, do you need to worry about it here?"

"It's all said, you can't grab money!"

"If you can't rob the money, then just grab a boat, this kind of trivial matter, I'll leave it to you, dog!"

"Yes!" Inuko said without hesitation.

"Isn't this the same! Also, you are not allowed to teach bad dogs!"

Jiu Xinqi's face turned into black charcoal, and while dragging the dog, he gave Sakaki a kick.

"You're still a man, and you can't think of a legitimate way to make money except for doing bad things!"

She was at a loss for what to do, and yelled irritably.

"Ah, it's so annoying, it's only 100,000 silver, where can I find 200,000 silver!"

100,000 silver?

Not far away, a thief-eyed thug moved his ears, and immediately approached with a smirk!

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I ......"

"Who is the mother-in-law, and she said it twice in a row, damn it!" Jiu Xinji, who was in an irritable mood, turned his head, and looked fierce.

"Witch!" the thug told the truth in shock, only to be knocked out by Jiu Xinji.

The desire to make money overcame everything, he endured the pain in his face, and immediately ran over again, squeezing out a flattering smile, "Beauty, forgive me for being clumsy just now, in fact, everything is a misunderstanding! Beauty, my name is Shiro, I heard that you are short of money, I have a good way to make money to introduce to you!"

Ten minutes later.

Juro took three people and one dog to a hidden gambling house located in the depths of the street, there were very few guests in the house, but there were a lot of big hands that looked like a big man, and it was not a serious casino at first glance!

"Wow, it turns out that this is a gambling house! Konoha doesn't have a gambling house at all, I've only heard people say it many times before, and today I finally have the opportunity to come to the gambling house once, I'm really nervous!"

Jiu Xinqi patted his chest, and turned into a curious baby again, looking a little excited, and Sakaki rolled his eyes.

"The first time you're here, you're sure you'll get there!"

"Of course, I'm very smart, I know the rules of gambling at a glance, and then I can win, as long as I win enough 300,000, we can go to the country of vortex!"

"Yes, yes, the dealer of this gambling house is the most useless, many first-time people have made money, presumably to the mother... The beauty is smart, and she will definitely be able to win a lot of money!"

Shiro salivated on the side, and Jiu Xinqi was even more confident.

As a result, after another ten minutes, Jiu Xinji was already about to cry, and he lost 100,000 silver cleanly!

"What should I do, Sakaki, I've lost everything, help!"

"Hey, who told you not to let me come!"

"I'm lucky, I thought I could win! Anyway, you guy, it's not going to be a thousand, right?!"

Jiu Xinqi looked at the dealer with a dark face, and at the same time desperately gestured to Sakaki under the table, she seemed to be in a hurry to stop the robbery, and was ready to use the power of Sakaki to settle the account.

Hmph, Sakaki ignores it.

It's just a simple dice roll bet on the size, and the dealer has no chance to cheat under the lock of Sakaki's gaze!

From the beginning of the small pressure, to the end of the big point of the tooth in a hurry, during the period of more than a dozen shots, the result of each 50% chance, never pressed even a handful.

Even the dealer can't even do a seduction routine of losing first and then winning, what a bad luck this is!

"I want to say, Jiu Xinqi, your luck is probably only comparable to the legendary fat sheep!"

Sakaki's complaint caused an unpleasant sound.

"Damn, who is the fat sheep?!"

A big fat sheep... No, it's a ** cow, with a trembling 'fierce' weapon, and walked into the gambling house.
