A small commotion from inside the room made Naruto get up from his sleep, and when Naruto opened his eyes, it was still pitch black outside, and when he turned to look at the source of the commotion, Shiro had already gotten up and was busy with something.

"I'm sorry, young master, did you make a noise?"

It seems that he feels that he has committed some serious mistake, and with a guilty expression, he sincerely apologizes to the adult who was woken up by his actions.

"It's still early, how about a little more sleep?"

Turning over the thick quilt covering the body, the load deposited overnight is discharged through the act of stretching the waist, and a large amount of air carries fresh oxygen into the body, so that the spirit is lifted.

"No, what time is it?"

Subconsciously asked for time, but unfortunately there was no time in the room.

"It's about 6 o'clock."

Looking at the sky outside the window, Shiro made a rough judgment.

"Really?"

Responding casually, he put on his coat.

"Young Master, wash your face."

Pour the boiling water into the basin and mix it with cold water, Shiro will place the basin with the hot water that is optimal for the human body temperature next to the bunk where Naruto is sleeping, wring out the soaked towel and handing it to Naruto.

"Bai, I'll do these by myself, and I'll do what I can do by myself."

Embarrassed, he took the warm towel, and emphasized to Shiro while enjoying the comfortable warmth on his face, but the feeling of comfort in his heart made Naruto feel how false his words were.

"Yes, young master. But I am really happy to be able to serve the young master, please be able to fulfill my little wish. ”

He took the towel and said with a snickering smile.

With the help of shaking his head, he woke up with the crooked reasoning of the almost dialogue, and Naruto, who felt that he was not an opponent at all, decided to change himself since he couldn't change his opponent, first of all, he got up and went to the bathroom - brushing his teeth.

Bai's service is impeccable, and his ability is also first-class, he can always get things done before people can say it, if he is so laissez-faire, then within three days, I am afraid that he will become a 'waste person' who will only wait for others to serve.

This ability is terrifying.

I don't know if it was because of the weather or the thoughts in his head that made Naruto feel a chill rush over him, and he shivered.

When Naruto came out after brushing his teeth, he saw that the forgotten quilt had indeed been cleaned up, and Naruto, who understood that it was meaningless to say more, turned a blind eye to it.

He sat down in front of Shiro, who was sitting and waiting for him, and once again asked last night's question: "Have you thought about it, Shiro?" ”

"Yes."

There is no confusion that should be cut off, there is no infatuation that still exists, my past has been completely cut off since that day, and I can't find the meaning of my existence, just a corpse that is not completely dead and living ugly. Until that day came, that night, that moment, the hand stretched out to himself once again gave himself the meaning of existence, so there was no one to hesitate and say his own answer as a matter of course.

"Please let me follow the young master!"

At all times, he feels gentle and friendly, with unquestionable determination, and a smile on his face, which makes it clear how happy the person who made this choice is.

Unable to express his disappointment, he happily covered his head with his palm, and Naruto, who had mixed feelings in his heart, forced himself to harden his heart and said cruel words to the dialogue: "I know." However, there is one thing I want to explain to you beforehand. My future is not destined to be peaceful for personal reasons, and the strength of the enemy is terrible, so when I think that you are not strong enough to stay with me, I will let you go, you have no opinion. ”

"At that time, please abandon me without worrying about the young master, weak people are not qualified to stay with the young master."

With a smile on his face, he said words that made Naruto feel cold, and Naruto's heart continued to sting faintly. He allowed the feeling of guilt to churn in his heart, leaving a deep imprint, but he did not take back his words. If one day Bai can't keep up with his pace, at least he can get out of the whirlpool of struggle.

"But if you want to leave one day, I won't stop you."

"Young Master......

Pack up your package and carry it behind you.

"White, let's go."

"Yes."

With a heart that felt warm by the words, Bai followed the young master and left the room.

"Welcome back, two little guests."

With the innkeeper's warm farewell, Naruto and Shiro took back the deposit from the room and left the small inn, and hurriedly settled breakfast at a breakfast shop around the corner of the inn.

Delivering the broken silver, Naruto planned to choose a well-fitting dress for Shiro, although his own clothes were of good texture, they were obviously one size smaller on Shiro's body, and it was inevitable that there would be some inconvenience between actions.

Drill into a deserted alley, transform yourself into a man about 30 years old, and the appearance of the prime of life can save you a lot of trouble.

Seeing Bai Cai's puzzled gaze, is it because he can't figure out his true identity? Still don't understand the meaning of your actions?

"This form will be a lot less troublesome, let's go."

Shiro didn't say anything, silently following Naruto who was walking forward. Naruto felt that it was easy to worry about it at the same time, and it was indeed a lot easier to trust and obey his decisions unconditionally, but Naruto preferred that Shiro would have more ideas of his own. I guess the confusion just now was just because I couldn't judge my true appearance and was confused.

On the recommendation of the owner of the clothing store, Naruto chose two more neutral outfits for Shiro, although he originally wanted to choose a few men's outfits for Shiro, Shiro didn't seem to be very interested in dark-colored clothing, and the occasional glance was also on light-colored clothing or brighter clothing.

Because brightly colored costumes are easy to attract attention, Naruto just chose two sets of white, blue, white and green outfits, and Naruto, who wanted to ask for Shiro's opinion, received an unexpected answer.

When he has the chance, let him buy some clothes he likes. Now that neither the timing nor the geography is good, Naruto took the liberty to make a decision for Shiro and bought the two clothes.

Although the materials used in the clothes are good, they can only be regarded as mid-to-high-quality in general, but the price is much higher than the high-end clothes, and it was only after the proprietress that Naruto realized that this was the impact of the civil strife in the Land of Water. It seems that the situation in the Land of Water is already quite bad, and the price of items has been affected as a result.

It's better to buy some weapons for self-defense.

With a backpack that was unexpectedly gained because of Bai's blockbuster, I found a ninja shop under the guidance of the boss, and when I arrived, I happened to see a person walking out of it with a package.

Ignoring the wary eyes cast as he passed by, he walked into the dimly lit store with Shiro.

Unlike other stores that were enthusiastic about welcoming customers, the owner in front of him didn't look like a businessman waiting for customers to pick up his products, and when he saw Naruto and the two come in, he just glanced at them and went about his work.

The boss's upper body highlights unbalanced muscles, probably not through deliberate exercise but in daily work.

"Boss, 80 kunai, 200 shurikens, 100 meters of steel wire, 1 box of smoke bombs, 1 box of flashbangs, 50 detonating charms, how many in total?"

The boss, who had been busy with the work at hand, finally stopped what he was doing, his narrow eyes widened a little, and he looked at the customers who asked for goods in front of him.

took out his abacus, and the flexible five fingers played the round abacus lightly, and after a while, the result was calculated, and the chilling sky-high price was spit out.

"Kunai 8 taels 1, shuriken 3 taels 1, steel wire 3 yuan 1 meter, smoke bombs 1 box 4500 taels, 1 box of flash grenades 7500 taels, detonation charms 50000 taels, a total of 63270 taels."

According to 1 tael is equal to 10 yen, about 40 yen can eat 1 bowl of ramen, which is enough to eat more than 15,000 servings of ramen, in other words, a simpler and more direct data is that if a person eats ramen for three meals a day, it can be eaten for more than 14 years, and it is not wrong to say that this price is sky-high.

"This price is too high, boss, did you miscalculate?"

Naruto couldn't help frowning at such a high price, if he really traded at this price, his entire net worth would not be enough.

cast an extremely tired gaze, the boss shouted and waved his arm to drive away: "Love to buy, buy or not, don't come here if you don't have money, get out of here." ”

Holding down the already clenched fist in private, and pressing Shiro, who wanted to step forward, Naruto shook his head at him.

"Hmph, what, do you want to do it if you don't have money, you might as well try, uneducated country ghost."

Extremely disdainful, domineering attitude makes people think that he is the guest who came to select the goods.

"The price of the forbearance is my underestimation, I don't have so much money on me now, the number of kunai and shuriken remains the same, the steel wire is still 100 meters, 2 smoke bombs, 1 flash grenade, 10 detonation charms, 40 meters of hemp rope, how much do you calculate?"

"Oh?"

Pouting, the owner of the forbearance shop still didn't refuse the business in the end, touched his sharp chin and said, "A total of 13,009 taels, about one thousand taels." ”

The price was raised quite a bit again made Shiro bow his head, and Shiro, who lowered his head to hide his expression, went out to wait, Naruto agreed to the boss's price, and handed the backpack he got from the clothing boss to the unfriendly merchant.

"I don't have that much cash on me, can I pay with a silver ticket?"

With an inexplicable smile, the boss said: "Yes, but the bank's credit is not guaranteed now, and if you pay with a silver ticket, you have to pay an additional 50% risk margin, of course, you can also choose to pay in cash." ”

Naruto didn't choose to continue arguing, but secretly counted the remaining silver tickets, and found that there was still a little left after paying the money, so he agreed, and until the deal was completed, the two sides never spoke a word again.

Outside, Naruto watched with interest at the rare fluctuations on his white face and pulled him out of the place.

"Young Master, why are you ......?"

On the official road outside the village, why did you stop me, this question was not fully said in the end, although I was puzzled and unwilling, but in Bai's heart, the young master's behavior was absolutely correct.

Relieved, he wanted to stroke Bai's smooth black hair with the palm of his hand, only to realize that Bai was much taller than himself, so he had to pat him on the shoulder instead.

"He just wants to make a little more money, and now that the water country is in chaos, it's normal for the price of weapons to increase slightly."

Not wanting to let the simple white be dyed with other colors, Naruto excused the black-hearted merchant, but Naruto had already written down the name of the ninja shop, including the boss leaning against the wall and several spiritual light clusters in the inner room.

Cado ninja chain store ...... Yes.
