Chapter 20: Brothers

Makoto watched as the middle-aged merchant picked up the sign on the ground and used the small wooden block he carried to match the sign. There is a recessed part of the sign that just accommodates the small wooden block without leaving a single gap.

The identity was confirmed, and the middle-aged merchant leader respectfully saluted Cheng:

"My lord, are these two injured? The team has prepared some wound medicine, do you need it? ”

Merchants are out and about, and they inevitably suffer some injuries in places where there is no village in front of them and no shops in the back, so they always have some medicines, which of course do not arouse Shayin's suspicions, and correspondingly, do not expect how effective these medicines can be.

Makoto nodded slightly in return, calming the emotions of the others in a gentle tone:

"Noβ€”this girl has been poisoned, but I've suppressed the poison with medication, but she's not going to wake up yet, so you can find a clean cargo box and put her in there."

The middle-aged merchant nodded, and after a slight gesture to the back, someone immediately went to do it.

Makoto took out three road guides, handed them to him, then looked around and said:

"There's nothing else to do, everyone go and rest, and we're going to hit the road early tomorrow morning, trying to reach the border of the Wind Country as soon as possible."

Perhaps it was the gentle smile on Makoto's face that played a role, and the merchant men who were too afraid to step forward because of fear agreed one after another, but none of them moved, instead focusing on the leader in the middle.

The middle-aged businessman nodded steadily, signaling everyone to do what Cheng said, and the group of ordinary talents gradually dispersed.

It seems that the prestige of this leader in the caravan is very high, and Cheng nodded secretly, and it is precisely because of this that these people dare to do this kind of work to earn money with their heads.

"Adult ......"

"Just call me Makoto."

Chengzhen hugged Qingxi, walked to his side, looked at what he wanted to say, and said:

"It's also easy to hide your identity."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he no longer dwelled on the question of salutation, but his language and expression became more and more respectful:

"Okay, do you want to rest? We had a clean tent ready and some food. ”

Makoto was not surprised by the thoughtfulness of the merchant leader, and he nodded:

"Okay, I'll trouble you, and by the way, prepare a change of clothes for me and him."

"Don't dare, I'll go and prepare now."

Guiding Makoto to an ordinary tent, the merchant bowed slightly and withdrew.

In the Hokage world, although the individual strength of ordinary people and ninjas is far apart, in terms of status, the two are similarly different.

And because ordinary people can also hire ninjas themselves, coupled with the ninja order maintained by the five major countries and the five ninja villages, ordinary people in this world treat ninjas like the "offices" and "private detectives" in some regions and developed countries in Makoto's previous life, except for the natural fear of the terrifying force they have, they are not very afraid. This point can be understood by looking at the attitude of the ordinary imp and the local tyrant Cardo in the original Wave Country mission, treating Naruto and Zai Bu respectively.

Like this caravan leader, his attitude towards Makoto as a ninja is so deferential that it is not common among ordinary people.

Makoto got into the tent, put the doppelganger on a bunk cover, and left to reconnoiter on the periphery, while the main body carefully checked Qingxi's state again and confirmed that the girl's condition had not deteriorated, and then let go of the heart that had been carrying.

"Now that you're awake, I'll change my clothes before going to sleep."

Makoto said lightly.

Rite rolled over and sat up, surprisingly not yelling.

For a 13-year-old child, the psychological quality of Li is already extremely good.

No, it should be said, except for Makoto himself and the demonic Mizumon, who are two worlds, Makoto has never seen other teenagers who can remain calm after this kind of thing happens.

This quality is also an important reason why Uchiha Rei's eyes can evolve into Sangotama.

Makoto put Qingxi down and supported the girl's back so that she could lie down more comfortably.

Li buried his head, put his hands up, grabbed his hair, and gradually forced:

"Honest ...... Why...... Why are you stopping me ......"

Cheng didn't even look at him, and his expression and tone were so light that he didn't have any emotion at all:

"Stopping you from going to die?"

"You!" Li raised his head, but his words stopped, even though Li clearly felt that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, but he also understood in his heart that the gap between him and the scorpion was not ordinarily large, and he could not refute the statement of "sending him to death", he lowered his head again, and said astringently: "Why do you ...... Don't kill that person? ”

"You can't kill it, even if you can barely kill it, you two won't survive."

Flexibly dealing with the injuries caused by the heroic spiral pill to his hand, under Makoto's increasingly profound ninjutsu and medical cultivation, this powerful technique with equally powerful side effects has gradually been controlled, and with a slight bandage, Makoto feels that it no longer affects his actions. Hearing Li's question, he opened his hand with satisfaction and replied nonchalantly.

"I don't care! It doesn't matter if you survive or not, you should have killed him then! ”

In contrast to him, Rei's tone was very excited.

Makoto glanced at him and stood up:

"I am the captain and it is my responsibility to save the lives of the players as much as possible...... If you want to kill him so much, just work hard to cultivate, the ninja world is so small, one day, you will meet him again. ”

The indifference in Makoto's tone finally made Rei realize that Makoto didn't care about the fact that Totoyo died at all, and the Uchiha boy only felt a chill rise from his heart, and he had nothing to say for a while.

Joke, Du Feng is dead, what does it have to do with him? Even if there were casualties in the team because of an unexpected encounter with a scorpion, the task has been completed, and a 13-year-old Sangoyu has been harvested - a Shangnin, in exchange for another genius like this, the family is afraid that it is too late to be happy, right?

As brothers, Makoto and Li, both of whom were geniuses who had opened the 3 Magatama Writing Wheel Eye before the age of 14, Makoto could almost guess the family's mind - the eternal kaleidoscope, who would be whose spare item?

Cheng Cheng thought coldly in his heart, as soon as Li's three hooks were opened, it would inevitably attract the attention of the relevant parties of the family, and it was conceivable that the relationship between him and Li would inevitably suffer from the family's interference in the future.

For the sake of profit, it is really difficult to predict what the family will do.

With such a cold mind, this is the reason for Makoto's indifferent tone, not for the ceremony, but for the unpredictable movements of the family, for a traverser, this kind of variable that is not under control is the most tricky.

"Makoto-sama, are you there?"

When Makoto walked to the door, the voice of the middle-aged merchant leader just sounded outside the door, Makoto lifted the heavy curtain, and saw several people behind him, with several clothes and a huge cargo box in their hands.

Li sat in the gloomy tent behind him, his palms clenched, his nails stabbing his palms with blood.
