Chapter 268: A village nestled in the middle of a desolation
It was a rather desolate village, surrounded by a huge wall of sand and stone. Although invisible, it is clearly wrapped in an enchantment to defend against enemies, as this is not an ordinary village, but a ...... Wind Ninja Village, Sand Ninja Village.
Standing on top of the giant thunderbolt soaring high in the air, a young man who just draped a long black trench coat over his body, let the hem of his clothes be blown by the fierce wind, the young man just looked down at the village below.
Tenma, who had never been to Sand Ninja Village before, saw this exotic building for the first time.
The whole village is almost entirely made of sand and stone, and is quite different from the buildings that are almost entirely made of wood, not only the walls around the village, but also the houses where the inhabitants live are extremely tall and crude, but the windows appear small, like the portholes of a ship.
The air is covered with bleak wind and sand, which looks extremely desolate and simple, with a hint of the heroic and atmospheric flavor unique to the north.
It's just that the crowds of people walking out on the wide streets of the village are very scarce, probably because of the wind-blown air, but it is also reflecting the size of the village.
On the outskirts of the village, there is a boundless wilderness desert, with slow-moving, low, curved sand dunes everywhere, and even standing on top of the thunderbolts flying high in the sky, you can see several storms of gradual scale raging and stirring on the other side of the horizon from a very far distance.
It is said to be a village, but in fact it is more like the ruins of an ancient city built in the desert, and everything seems to have been worn away and engraved by the wind and sand for a long time.
Tenma silently looked at the people and ninjutsu bred in this environment, with a smell of tearing everything apart.
"Huh!!"
With a sharp and long sound of eagles, the thunderbolt began to descend in the sky, like a cloud hanging from the sky.
Falling into the air, with a pop, a huge amount of chakra smoke rose up, the huge thick clouds dissipated, and two figures fell straight from the air, their clothes raised high to the sky, and the violent wind blew the short black and blood-red hair of the two.
One of them, with a slight grip with one hand, suddenly jumped out of the desert on the ground, and a thick sand python suddenly popped out of the desert, and the red-haired figure was choked into his mouth, and his body quickly curled downward, and he lightly pushed the figure on the soft desert with a snake core.
"Yo~ This is the village where the red panda has always lived......"
Beside the burgundy short-haired Lori, Pegasus fell lightly from the sky, and the basket of purple and purple wings behind him suddenly turned into beautiful broken light and dissipated, which was a very beautiful technique.
"Gone."
Ignoring the emotion of his companion, the red panda's face remained unchanged, and his footsteps were extremely stable and walked towards the ancient city standing in the desert in the distance.
Raising his eyebrows, Tianma finally understood why the red panda had perfect skin and delicate face that were extremely incommensurate with this desolate and harsh environment!
With a slight force, Pegasus's body quickly caught up with the figure of the red panda, holding his hands behind his head leisurely, and walking lazily beside the red-haired Lori.
The young man didn't speak, just squinted his eyes at the northern world, which seemed particularly empty and desolate in the endless desert.
Although the steps of the two seemed extremely slow and steady, the speed of their movement was contradictory and extremely fast.
The desert terrain with high and low sand dunes and quicksand may be difficult for ordinary people to walk, but for ninjas who can attach chakras to the soles of their feet to deal with the flowing sticky sand, it only takes two or three minutes to walk quietly.
The four or five figures who stood quietly outside the tall walls on the outskirts of the village came into the field of vision of the two people with excellent eyesight, along with the village like the ruins of the ancient city.
"Yo ~ Red Panda ......"
Tenma just raised his eyebrows and teased at the wine-red short-haired little Lori beside him, and he didn't finish, but just shouted a nickname in a strange tone.
"Hello...... Verbose ......"
But the red panda was strangely able to hear the meaning of Pegasus's words, and the little face that had been slapping calmly finally looked slightly flustered, and stammered a little.
It's a reprimand, but it's more like a swagger and panic.
"Ahh......h Actually, you're very happy, right? ”
Pegasus didn't let go of the red panda, still walking with his head and head, his eyes with a strange charm, quietly staring at the little Lori, whose face was slightly red and a little flustered.
"It's not frank! Still, see someone worried about you...... And if you react like this, then I'm relieved! ”
"Say...... What strange things to say, hey......"
Little Lori, who seems to be very bad at dealing with this situation, is very smart not to speak after such a dry rebuttal, but because of her extremely fair skin, the faint flush on her face is very conspicuous.
"Man~"
Tenma sighed lazily and happily as if he had let go of something, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his gaze with a strange charm was withdrawn from the body of little Lori, but his left hand was like a sudden idea and a premeditated sneak attack, and it was gently pressed on the little guy's head.
"Huh?! Feed! Feed! Hurry up and let go, bastard! ”
The fierce reaction that had never been seen before was suddenly shown by the little Lori, and the little guy could no longer maintain that cold expression, as if he was dancing with his teeth and claws, and the two little hands slapped the palms of Pegasus in a panic, and his face was red.
"Smack~"
Unnoticed, Pegasus's left hand was really attacked by the little guy and knocked off.
"Hey??!"
Rather than get angry, Tenma withdrew his knocked left hand as if he had discovered a new world, and then looked at the red-faced little guy with a strange look of amusement and curiosity.
Red pandas look like this...... Tenma has never seen ......
"Look...... What do you see, the soul is faint...... I...... I didn't have ......."
Finally acting like a normal little girl, I Airo, her hands and feet fluttered in the air in a panic, her face was red as if she was about to catch fire, and her small but beautiful cherry thin lips quickly opened and closed, sending out a series of stammering characters.
"I ...... everything"
Pegasus' gaze became more curious, and with a hint of obsession, the red panda that had always been cold would have the same look that only a little fox would have...... This contrast is cute, and it grabbed the teenager's heart in an instant.
"None...... No Road Race!! ”
"Ha ??!!"
Pegasus looked at his side, leaving only faint, swirl-like traces of wind and sand, and the red-faced red panda had already disappeared with that classic tsundere words......
"As for it?! Puff haha~ But this kind of red panda ...... So cute......"
After a half-pause, Tenma reacted and burst into laughter.
Even if objectively speaking, it's not an extremely funny thing, but in the form of a red panda...... It's another story!
With a bright and happy smile all the time, Pegasus hurried towards the ancient city, which was not very far away.
The red panda was already talking to the waiting figures.
"That's great! Such a red panda. Pegasus squinted and laughed.
End of Chapter 268.
