Chapter XXV. Intelligence

The next day, I got up early in the morning and left to go to the city in the company of Jean.

"Didn't you say it, I won't teach you ninjutsu." It's really a headache to leave the perseverance of the spirit.

"Huh?" Jean glanced away disdainfully, "Do you think I'm deliberately currying favor with you in order to learn ninjutsu?" Then you can't help but look down on people too much. ”

"Oh? You don't want to learn ninjutsu anymore? ”

"Of course!"

"So you didn't listen to what I said last night......" Li looked at the little ghost with a headache.

"No, after thinking about it, I still think I should learn ninjutsu." Jean, who was leading the way, said methodically with his fingers pointed, "I probably understood what you meant last night, which means that after learning ninjutsu, I will face people who are more murderous than robbers, and everyone in the village may be hurt because of me, right?" ”

"Almost." Li nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you know what I mean, in short, ninja is not a good career direction." ”

"Then as long as I become the strongest."

"......" Li suddenly felt that this sentence made sense, and he couldn't refute it.

"Questions?" Getting no response, Jean's little head turned to stare at Li.

"No ......"

"Then you agree to teach me ninjutsu!"

"Still won't work."

"Why?"

"Because I myself have been chased all over the world, and I can't teach the best students in the world." For some reason, I suddenly remembered Sasuke's words, 'I'm the strongest in this world' in my mind.

"Hey, you just don't want to teach!" Jean glanced away with disdain again, "Don't worry, I'm not deliberately pleasing you, my mother is busy picking tea and has no time to accompany you into the city, and the task of taking care of the guests is naturally handed over to me, this is etiquette." ”

"I really can't see it." I can't forget the picture of three little heads emerging from the grass yesterday, and one of the faces swallowed and asked if he wanted to help.

"Here we are." Ignoring the teasing in his tone, Jean pointed to the town in front of him.

For the rest of the journey, the two didn't provoke any more conversations, and each walked the last part of the road silently with their hearts in mind.

"It's not much different from the towns of the Fire Country." Without checking, I easily entered the city, and when I stopped a passer-by, I asked, "Where is the nearest grocery store?" ”

"Go straight along the road, turn left, and the first place is." The passerby's answer was very straightforward.

"Thank you."

"Aren't you going to inquire about the Rainbow Country fleet, why do you want to go to the grocery store?" After saying goodbye to passers-by, let him poke his little head and ask.

"Because I have something else to buy, and the owner of the grocery store should be well-informed, and he should know if the fleet arrives." As he spoke, he had already crossed the intersection and walked to the front of the grocery store, stood at the door, looked at it slightly, and then walked in. "Boss, do you have balloons for sale here?"

"Yes!" The boss is a middle-aged uncle with a hearty personality, and after hearing about Li's needs, he began to turn around and rummage through the boxes.

"And rubber balls." I hurriedly added a sentence.

"Rubber balls? You really know how to pick a place, but other grocery stores may not have one, how much do you want? ”

"Ten of each." Just in case, have a few more before you decide.

"Okay, please wait."

"Boss, do you know when the fleet of the Rainbow Country will arrive?" Leaning on the counter and waiting boredly, Lichao asked the grocery store owner with his back to him.

"Fleet? It's already morning. ”

"Already there? Where is it! Hearing this exciting news, I couldn't help but raise my tone and ask.

"Guest, do you have something to do with them?" The grocery store owner asked rhetorically without answering Li's question.

"Well, I want to take their ship to the Rainbow Country."

"You're going to have to wait a little longer, guest." The boss's tone was inexplicably heavy.

"Did something happen?" Out of instinct, I felt that something was wrong.

"This morning, someone found that the ship of the Rainbow Country was docked, but no crew appeared, so someone climbed onto the boat and took a look......" With the boss's pause, he couldn't help but hold his breath, sighed, and the boss opened his mouth leisurely, "Fifty-eight crew members, all died on the deck, I heard that the entire deck was stained red with blood." ”

"Did the pirates do it?" Completely took this matter as a story, and listened to it, so that he asked without fear.

"No, there is no shortage of cargo on board, pirates will not kill people, put the goods unwanted, guests you want balloons and rubber balls." As he spoke, the boss had already found all the goods, put them in a bag, and handed them over.

"Thanks, do you know who did it?" He took the bag and handed over a banknote, "Can you use the currency of the Fire Country?" ”

"Of course, the currency of the Fire Nation is hard currency." After accepting the money, the grocery store owner opened the conversation again, "Some people suspect that the captain's deputy wanted to seize the throne and brought his own group of brothers to start an infighting, and the two sides killed each other and lost both, I think it makes sense." ”

"Is there any other ship besides the fleet of the Rainbow Country that will come to the Rainbow Country?"

"No, our country does not have a large ship that can sail long distances, and it is estimated that the next fleet will not sail again in a short time." The boss replied with his head tilted.

"Understood, let's go." Without doubting the authenticity of the news, he walked out of the grocery store with Jean.

"Wait, you haven't given change yet!" The grocery store owner's voice came from behind him.

"It's just money to buy intelligence."

"Big brother, what are you going to do next?" It was a kid after all, and he didn't have any concept of dozens of human lives, so he quickly left it behind, and he found a hidden smile on his face.

"There's no way, I may have to live in your house temporarily, and I'll pay for the food."

"Yay!" No longer hiding his emotions, he jumped up happily, "Anyway, are you a rich man, a few balloons, you actually gave him such a big bill, and what do you want to do when you buy balloons, do ninjas also play balloons?" ”

"You have too many questions...... "I can't have any problems," he put up with his head pounding, "I'm poor, the money was funded by a friend, and does anyone rule that ninjas can't have entertainment, what's wrong with me playing with two balloons?" ”

"Oh ......" didn't believe that three big characters were written on Jean's face.

"......" Li felt like he was going crazy.

On the other side of the coastal dock, Obito looked at the corpses that were constantly being carried down from the boat and was a little dissatisfied, "Let you clean up the aftermath, did you just drive the boat back?" ”

"I can't help it!" Jue was also very aggrieved, "I can't swim, if I hadn't brought some spores to help me drive the boat together, I wouldn't have been able to come back, and when I docked, it was dawn and I didn't have time to dispose of the corpse." ”

"Forget it, it's just a small thing that doesn't hurt the overall situation." With a nonchalant remark, the space around Obito began to distort again.

"Huh? Where are you going? He asked weakly, "Why don't you let me rest for a while?" ”

"Go see another good show." Leaving such a sentence, Obito's figure disappeared without a trace.
