I'm your brother-in-law!
Fire Country Short Book Street, this is a city that is hidden by the name of the street.
The city's ordinary name has long been buried in the dust of history. With the increasing popularity of Short Book Street, even the countries that carry out governance functions have abandoned the old city name in their daily official documents and began to use the name of Short Book Street in a big way.
Famous for its gambling houses and various entertainment venues, the splendor of a short book street completely obscures the city's other inconspicuous roles.
Is the Fire Nation an economic center?
No.
Is the Fire Nation political center?
Neither is it.
So does the city have any other functions?
A military powerhouse? The place of the frontier fortress? A strategic pivot?
Sorry, neither! The city is nothing more than a very inconspicuous city, a city built for the residents of nearby Fushuo.
Such an ordinary city, which should have been unknown, has repeatedly topped the list of national urban tax statements in the Land of Fire in the past 30 years because of the establishment of a short book street.
So, when the obscure city is overshadowed by the splendor of a street. For outsiders, for the famous, even for locals, the original name of the city no longer matters.
All they know is that this is a place outside the law, and nobles, tycoons, ninjas, and ninjas from all over the ninja world flock here in large numbers for entertainment consumption.
The cash flow that flows into Short Label Street day after day is enough to bury the entire city. It is this street that has led to the economic development of the whole city. It is this street that has affected the lives of thousands of civilians in the Land of Fire. It is also this street, which must be handed over every year, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the country's total tax revenue.
The famous Short Book Street shows the glorious status of the Fire Nation in the ninja world. Compared with those countries in the ninja world where most of the people are hungry and in the abyss of war, the short book street that can attract rich people from all over the ninja world to gather here for consumption is not relying on the back, the Konoha Ninja Village of the Fire Country, which has not tasted defeat since the establishment of the ninja village system?
And today, this star city of the Fire Nation has welcomed a guest that they will never welcome.
He is the ninja terrorist demolition household - a lone wolf!
But fortunately, Zhou Zhu's eyes regained his sight at this time, and although he was rejected by Orochimaru before, it did not affect his wonderful mood.
In addition, the streamer used to cover Ben's eyes has been tied back to his forehead. He is now dressed much more normally, and he is no longer so similar to the famous lone wolf.
No matter how you look at him now, I want to be a young samurai. After completing the teacher's teaching, he is starting his own path of travel and cultivation. And such a guy, I don't know how many times the short book street has to receive every year. So except for his rather handsome appearance and general-style temperament, he won't attract too much attention from the rest of the people at all.
If he appears elsewhere, looking at Zhou Zhu's appearance and temperament, people have to secretly praise, "This son is a talent, and he will make a difference in the future." ”
It's a pity that this is a short book street where I have seen the world and my thoughts have been looking towards money.
So, when Zhou Zhu traveled through the short book street, looking for his target Tsunade Hime. Passers-by were talking more behind their backs, "This guy seems to be a little capable, I don't know if he will become a bedfellow of an adult with a lot of hobbies tonight, or a rich man from which country will be favored and accepted as a guard." ”
Accustomed to seeing the world and the filth behind it, their thoughts are so impure. Zhou Zhu was misunderstood by them, and the samurai who came here to climb the high branches were precisely because of the hard work of the martyrs!
"Damn~ The reputation of the samurai has stinked, and I would have changed my outfit if I knew it!" With Zhou Zhu's ear power that has been blind for many years, the voices of those passers-by talking behind their backs naturally can't escape his ears. Being maliciously slandered by others like this, Zhou Zhu was not angry with the misinterpretation of passers-by, but instead lashed out at the samurai who came here for their bad behavior.
The bad morals and corrupt customs and the unancient hearts of the people are because of the shamelessness of some people, which has caused a bad impact on the entire ethnic group. These ordinary people who can't be blamed in their eyes and gradually labeled can only blame the samurai class, and they are not angry!
Therefore, Zhou Suke, who has such an understanding, did not get angry and mad, but did not care about the pointing and pointing of those passers-by, and continued to look for Tsunade.
Thanks to years of blindness, Zhou Zhu's senses are sharp to the limits of human beings. Coupled with the ability to perceive the road with a light car, as long as he walks along the street without entering the gambling halls on both sides, Zhou Zhu can easily retrieve whether the person he is looking for is in it or not.
In this way, it is a bit like a drug detection dog. But Zhou Zhu relies not only on his sense of smell, but also on other sensory abilities. Besides, he searched for gambling in the ninja world's "pornography, gambling and drugs", how can he use a drug detection dog as a metaphor? (It's up to you – Gambling Dog!) Heh~ I still haven't been able to escape the range of dogs. )
The tip of his nose twitched a few times, and Zhou Zhu stopped. He glanced at it, not far from him, half-standing on the street, occupying the road and running an izakaya, and then decided on his goal and climbed through the curtain to enter.
There is a lot of money on the street, and the rent of the merchants along the street is not something that ordinary people can afford. And some shop owners who want to participate in this gluttonous feast can only support the stall for a few years first, and then move to the right position to operate when they have earned enough money.
Therefore, there are still many shops like this that occupy the road. Most of it is to provide a place for daily consumption for gamblers and prostitutes who have a small family property, but are still not enough to step into the tall store.
And after opening the curtain that only blocked a little, the cold scene inside met Zhou Zhu's eyes.
The relatively small izakaya temporary store has only three swivel chairs against the counter, except for a counter operated by the owner. Now there are two chairs, already occupied by guests, only one has not been used.
And the backs of those two guests, Zhou Zhu is extremely familiar.
"Guest, what do you want? Buying drunk or eating? The owner of the izakaya was an ordinary-looking uncle, who watched Zhou Zhu come in and hurriedly greeted him.
The small shops along the street are aimed at those who are middle-level people. In a place like Short Book Street, which is extremely unfriendly to middle-class people with a little family background, their target customer base has always been a stubble, and they were cut by the gambling house and fled directly in frustration. So it's all a one-shot deal, of course, you have to work hard to hang a layer of oil and water before the guests enter the casino and lose everything. 33
Even if they are lucky, these guys will not patronize their low-grade small shops again.
Therefore, customers are a scarce resource for this store owner. Only three swivel chairs are laid, on the one hand, the strength of the store does not allow it, and on the other hand, it proves the cruel status quo of Short Book Street.
Until Zhou Zhu stood for a long time, Tsunade and Shizune never looked back, and did not realize the approaching crisis. Thinking that Zhou Zhu was here to ask for help, he also replied to the shopkeeper, "Give the two ladies some more snacks, I'm here to ask someone to do something, and by the way, get me something to drink to moisten my throat!" ”
"Okay~ Distinguished guest, you sit down first, I'll get it right away!" The shopkeeper greeted him, and immediately tossed and turned behind the small counter to show off his cooking skills.
And as the shopkeeper got busy, although he had been drinking wine with Tsunade all morning, he still retained a bit of vigilant silence, so he subconsciously looked back.
This time, it happened to collide with Zhou Zhu, who walked in. Zhou Zhu's appearance changed greatly, and Mute didn't recognize Zhou Zhulai at the first time, so he just said quite alertly, "Who is Your Excellency?" Asking someone to do something? Did you recognize the wrong person? ”
Zhou Zhu shook his head and smiled, ignoring Mute's alert gaze, and sat directly on the swivel chair on the other side of Tsunade, and said casually: "The two of you are really noble people, you haven't seen me for two years, and you have completely forgotten me!" ”
Before the silence could react, he was already a little dizzy from drinking, and his head hung down on his chest, but he opened his mouth in a daze.
"Little ghost, why are you still looking for me? Hiccup~ You haven't paid off the debt between us...... What do you want to do? With a wine burp, Tsunade said nonchalantly.
And after listening to Tsunade's words, he instantly remembered who Zhou Zhu was from Mute, and instantly stood up, looked at Zhou Zhu with a posture and said, "It's you!" Do you still have the face to come to us? ”
"Hey~ The two of you are angry, our store is Xiao Libo, no matter what grievances you have, you have to fight out!"
It was the izakaya owner who said this, and as he spoke, he opened the curtain behind him, revealing a wooden partition full of hundreds of detonation charms.
"I'm going to ~ ruthless!" Looking at the hundreds of detonation charms posted on the wooden board, Zhou Zhu gave a thumbs up.
Not to mention, the detonation charms are so dense, and the deterrent effect is still very strong. Even if you forbear, you have to be a little scared. After all, this kind of ruthless person who is ready to do his best at any time is really terrifying.
Seeing Zhou Zhu's praise, the shopkeeper laughed, and explained helplessly, "No way, the whole family has invested in this small shop, and the short book street is still very unsafe, and there are often people making trouble." It doesn't matter if the store is smashed, if something happens, like us, a small shop that occupies the road and operates, the public security tax will be doubled. ”
"I've been doing it for three years, and this kind of thing has happened seven or eight times in my store, and I can't hold on to it anymore. Therefore, no matter how much grudge the rank has, as long as it is fought in my store, the villain who can't get by has to be buried with you. ”
Listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Zhou Zhu could think of the shopkeeper's helplessness and determination at this time. Although that little means was no threat in his opinion, Zhou Zhu still waved his hand to appease the shopkeeper and said, "Don't worry, if you can't fight, the shopkeeper, you can cook with peace of mind." ”
At the same time, Tsunade also waved his hand and said to Shizune, "Mute, sit down!" ”
Although Shizune didn't understand why Tsunade tolerated Zhou Suke, a liar, she also chose to sit down under the eager gaze of the shopkeeper.
In this way, the shopkeeper wiped the fine sweat from his head, and desperately wanted to hide the previous embarrassment, and continued to be busy.
At this time, Tsunade also used chakra to dispel the alcohol in his body, turned his head halfway, and said to Zhou Zhu: "Little ghost, you haven't answered my words yet~ Find me this time, what do you have in mind?" ”
Zhou Zhu crossed his hands on the table, and also looked sideways into Tsunade's eyes, and explained: "Tsunade-hime, you really forgot, we had a conversation two years ago. As I said earlier, my request for you is not just one or two, there will be a third......"
Tsunade teased: "Oh~ So, you guy is really shameless, and you want to come with empty gloves and white wolves?" ”
Zhou Zhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, don't slander people's innocence out of thin air!" I have always kept in mind what I promised. It's just that the stakes are big and it takes a long time to prepare! ”
"Hmph~ I won't believe in your evil anymore, if you want me to help you do anything, just wait for you to fulfill your promise!" With that, Tsunade poured himself a drink again.
Looking at Tsunade who turned his head and ignored his Tsunade anymore, Zhou Zhu knocked on the table helplessly, attracting Tsunade's attention and said, "Tsunade-hime, you may not know, you and I have never been outsiders!" ”
"What I promised you, the pair will do it. Even if I hadn't been for your lifelong happiness, I would have resurrected those two now. But ~ is this really a blessing for you? Don't you really have any feelings for Jiraiya?"
Listening to Zhou Suke's extremely outrageous and profound words, Tsunade's eyes became dangerous.
"Little ghost, don't be too presumptuous! Who do you think of yourself? You're just a wanted criminal. Even if you are friendly with Orochimaru, it has nothing to do with me. After Orochimaru chose to defect, the name of Konoha Sannin has long been dispersed! Also, don't talk to me about it again! ”
"If you're really capable, I'm glad you did what you promised. So~ don't be too self-righteous, say what for my good, for my happiness whatever! I'm not down yet, I need your little ghost's attention! ”
Regarding Tsunade-hime's words, Zhou Zhu didn't listen to a word, because he was about to lift the hole cards! (Flash away~ I'm going to start pretending!) )
Zhou Zhu casually snatched the sake pot in Tsunade's hand, and after taking a sip, he said in a deep tone: "Hmph~ That's because you don't understand, my identity is not just a misty rebellion!" I'm your brother-in-law! Your happiness and life's events, of course I have to be very cautious! ”
"Brother-in-law??? Tsunade muttered, thinking about it and thinking about it, he couldn't think of the identity given by Zhou Zhu in whom.
Although the Thousand Hands clan has a large ethnic group, Tsunade is a descendant and has many cousins. But there is really no one who can call him a sister. Even if there were, it would have died a long time ago!
And Kato Shizun on the side gasped, completely shocked by Zhou Suke's words.
"Brother-in-law!!!! With an exclamation, the silent tactics leaned back, and his eyes were uncertain between Tsunade and Zhou Suke, looking back and forth.
"Click", a palm without looking back pushed to Mute's forehead, making her leaning back figure completely fall off the swivel chair. Tsunade said coldly: "What is the little girl thinking about? I don't have any brother-in-law, this little devil is complete nonsense! ”
