The old streets are quite dilapidated because they have not been repaired for many years.

On both sides of the street, you can often see people dressed in tatters, sitting on tattered straw mats, their eyes blank, and the words "any job is fine" written on a piece of cardboard.

Sometimes you can see some children who are not too old, they squat in the corner, looking at passers-by, some are begging, and some are staring at the wallets on pedestrians, looking for the object of attack, along the way, he sees many "catch thieves" and other chases.

Because of the ninja forehead guard on his head, there is no thief who does not open his eyes to attack Sato Shin, he walked all the way along the street, at first he stopped and stopped, and then he had no interest in shopping, and when he saw this scene on the street, how could he still be in the mood to hang out?

"Forget it, let's go back, you can still cultivate for a while and increase some residual energy."

Thinking of this, Sato Shin was about to return along the same path, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a noisy noise, even mixed with the crying of girls, and frowned slightly, and he walked over.

"Hand it over, hand over that piece of ore to Lao Tzu!"

A man with a rude voice said viciously.

"No, this ore...... I picked it up with great difficulty in the abandoned mine, and this is ...... It's mine. ”

The girl's voice sobbed, and although she was terrified, she tried her best to resist.

"Don't give it, do you? Then Lao Tzu will do it himself. ”

When Sato Shin arrived at the scene, he happened to see a tall man who reached out to snatch something from a girl, but the girl desperately held the thing in her arms, and although she was scared, she was still unwilling to let go.

Smack-

A small rock the size of an egg flew up strangely and smashed into the man's hand as he reached out to the girl.

"Ouch, it hurts, which bastard dares to smash Lao Tzu?"

The man screamed in pain, covered his hand with one hand that had been hit by the stone, and scolded in a vicious voice.

"Not a bastard, but I'm the one who smashed you."

Sato Shin walked out of the crowd of onlookers and looked at the man with an indifferent gaze.

"Little bunny, want to be a hero? See if I don't kill you! ”

Seeing that it was actually a child less than ten years old who stood up, the man shouted angrily, and his huge fist slammed into Sato Shin.

"Get out—"

Sato Shin didn't want to take another look, his voice was cold, and he kicked out, easily kicking the man out.

Although the man's physique is considered a very strong type among ordinary people, compared to him who has become a middle ninja, it is completely unsightly, and he can't even make him serious.

"Ouch-"

Because he didn't have a good impression of the man, Sato Shin's hand was a little heavy, and the man was kicked by him and hit the wall next to him, making a loud bang, and the whole wall shook slightly, and the man rolled on the ground in pain on the spot.

"You, you're ......"

After a long time, the man had the strength to get up from the ground, covering his stomach after being kicked, and looked at Sato Shin in horror, especially after seeing the ninja forehead guard on Sato Shin's forehead, his face was even more shocked.

", if you let me know you're bullying her again, I'll kill you."

Sato Shin snorted coldly, and his eyes revealed undisguised murderous intent.

"Yes, yes, big ...... Man, I'll get out of ......."

The man ran away on the ground, not even daring to say a cruel word.

Ever since he knew the identity of Sato's new ninja, he hadn't thought about revenge, what kind of joke, looking for a ninja to take revenge, except for people who are also ninjas, even if ordinary people come to dozens, it is not enough for the other party to kill.

Living in this border town near the land of fire all the year round, he has naturally seen ninjas attack, and the terrifying power makes him feel as small as an ant, and he can't have the idea of resisting at all.

"Are you alright?"

Driving the man away, Sato Shin asked the girl.

The girl is about the same age as Sato Shin, her clothes are a little shabby, and her family conditions must not be very good, otherwise she would not have tried her luck in the abandoned mine to find ore.

"I, I'm fine, thank you, Lord Ninja."

The girl looked at Sato Shin gratefully, and at this time, Sato Shin found out that this girl was quite delicate, but her long-term malnutrition made her face quite pale.

"No thanks."

Sato Shin shook his head slightly, looking at this girl with a little pity.

He can help this girl for a while, but he can't help this girl for a lifetime, this world is an extremely cruel world, especially for ordinary people.

"Do you know how to read?"

Suddenly, Sato Shin asked temporarily.

"I know, my father taught me ...... when I was a child"

The girl didn't know why Sato Shin asked like this, and wondered.

"Well, this one is for you, I hope it will change your fate."

Sato Shin approached and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and at the same time, he also quietly stuffed a scroll and some money into the girl's pocket.

The girl was a little puzzled at first, but after feeling something stuffed into her pocket, she suddenly understood, but she still didn't understand the meaning of Sato's new words, what kind of thing could change fate?

When the girl wanted to ask, she found that Sato Shin had already gone away, and she could only look at Sato Shin's back from a distance, as if she wanted to keep Sato Shin's figure in her heart forever, and then she also left the scene, she needed to exchange this piece of ore for money, because she hadn't eaten for two days.

On the way back to the hotel, Sato Arata couldn't help but think about what he had just done.

The scroll he stuffed into the girl's pocket was a ninjutsu scroll that recorded the method of extracting and cultivating Chakra, plus five E-rank ninjutsu and three D-rank ninjutsu.

This scroll, which was given to him by his father Sato Fangjian when he first started cultivating, is no longer needed, but as a souvenir, it has been kept by his side and not destroyed.

Seeing this bullied girl, Sato Shin couldn't help but improvise and gave her this ninjutsu scroll.

It's better to give people fish than to give them fish, even if you give the girl more money, there will always be a time to spend it, and he just became a ninja, and he doesn't have much money on him.

If you want to change the situation of the little girl, you have to fundamentally change it, give her a means to earn a living, and in this world, what means is more useful than power?

So Sato Arata gave her a way to gain strength.

At this time, Sato Shin couldn't help but think of the last of the wandering ninjas mentioned by Ibika, who obtained the chakra cultivation method by chance and became a ninja, so whether any of the people who gave these wandering ninjas the opportunity had the same mentality as he has now.

"Huh."

When Sato Shin returned to the hotel, he couldn't help but be surprised.

In a corner of the hotel, Kamishino Ibika was sitting there, obviously he didn't go out to hang out, but this was not what surprised Sato Shin, what surprised Sato Shin was that there was actually a person sitting across from him.

This man was tall, wearing a red coat, waist-length white hair, and a forehead guard on his head, but instead of a Konoha logo, it was a big word for "oil".

"This kind of eye-catching sign, you can't be wrong, it must be that one!"

Sato Shin said firmly in his heart, looking for the entire ninja world, I am afraid that the only one who can completely match the above characteristics is Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it, and Sato Shin walked over and shouted at Ibika.

"Ibi-sensei."

"Well, you're back, how are you going?"

Seeing Sato Shin coming, Ibika asked with a slight smile.

With his strength, he naturally found out as early as when Sato Shin entered the hotel, so he was not surprised by Sato's new appearance.

"It's not as fun as in the village."

Sato Shin smiled bitterly, he was happy and disappointed this time, he never thought that this town would be so barren.

Of course, Ibija also knew that this would be the result, but she didn't want to spoil the interest of Sato Shin and the three of them, so she didn't say anything before the three of them left.
