The Holy Soul Village is located somewhere on the northern border of the Fire Country, bordering the Land of Fields.

After 3 days in a row, Yujiro finally saw the huge gap between ninjas and ordinary people.

The five of them traveled day and night, with no more than 7 hours of rest every day, and Yujiro, who thought he was physically strong, was too tired to do so, but Kira, who looked the weakest in the team, didn't take a breath.

Ninjas can leap dozens of meters away with a random step, and their foot strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

If it weren't for the protection of Yujiro, the Gongdao team would have arrived at their destination for a long time, and maybe even the mission would have been completed.

And not just a third of the way through, as it is now.

At dusk that day, the procession happened to pass through a market town, and Yujiro offered to rest here for the night.

Yinta and the others naturally have no opinion.

When Yujiro stayed in the cheap hotel to pick up blood bubbles, the four members of the Gongdao team came to the streets of the market town, ready to relax and spend.

There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and in addition to various shops on both sides of the road, there are many small cart vendors, which is relatively rare in Konoha.

"Boss, come to eight squid grilles, can you get a discount?"

"Uh...... Okay, I'll wipe off the odds for you, and I'll benefit you with 600 taels. ”

Ebisu was a little distressed about his wallet.

This cost him half of his income from D-class missions.

But after eating dry food for three days in a row, it was really difficult to resist the smell of barbecue at this time.

"Hey, hey, two skewers per person, come and get it, just think I'm in for a treat, right?"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Ebisu." Ginta smiled and took the squid-yaki, "I thought you were going to eat eight skewers by yourself." ”

Ebisu was very dissatisfied: "It turns out that in your heart, I am actually that kind of stingy person? ”

"I didn't say that."

Gongdao took the squid grille as a matter of course: "It's not bad, it's not in vain that I have given you special training many times." ”

Ebisu: "......"

At that moment, there was a sudden commotion near the street corner.

"Stop!"

"Where are you going......

When the pedestrians turned around and saw several gangsters with machetes chasing a man in cloth clothes, they were so frightened that they immediately got out of the way so as not to get into trouble.

"Huh? What happened? ”

Ebisu was eating takoyaki while looking behind her.

The running man in cloth had his chest undulating, and he felt that his physical strength was passing rapidly, and suddenly saw several people standing in the middle of the road in front of him...... Glanced at it in a hurry......

He was wearing a Konoha forehead guard!

Feeling that the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, he simply felt ruthless, knelt down directly and hugged a person's thigh, and shouted: "Ninja-sama, please save my life!" ”

Ebisu was completely dumbfounded, this battle was the first time he had experienced it, "Who are you?" Do I know you? ”

He subconsciously wanted to shake off the other party, but found that this person seemed to have exhausted all his strength and would not let go.

Several gangsters quickly chased after the man in cloth, and by the afterglow of the sunset, they also discovered the identities of Ebisu and others, and immediately stopped their steps.

"Ninja?"

The leading gangster clenched the hilt of the knife, his arm trembled slightly, and his eyes widened and shouted, "Are you going to meddle in your business? ”

"Ninja-sama, they took my wife and children, and now they want to cut off my hands......"

The man in the cloth was in tears, rubbing on the leg of Ebisu's trousers,

"You are the gods who protect the land of fire, and I implore you to stop the terror of these people......"

Ebisu's body was a little stiff, and in the face of this person's praise, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Ginta glanced at the Kimeko Knife and found that the other party had secretly retreated to the side.

Eating the food that Ebisu invited while preparing to watch Ebisu's jokes is simply not delayed, perfect.

"Damn!" The leading gangsters gritted their teeth and shouted: "Ninjas meddle in the affairs of ordinary people, this is breaking the rules......"

Shout!

A bamboo stick slammed into the ground at his feet at an alarming speed, shaking incessantly.

"Ahh

The man in cloth felt a sharp pain in his ear, reached out to touch it, and found that a small piece of flesh was missing from his ear, and then he screamed loudly.

Ginta kicked him in the face, took a bite of squid-yaki, and said lightly, "Get out of the way, don't disturb us." ”

Several gangsters looked at the bamboo sticks at their feet in astonishment, and gasped inwardly.

The leader reacted very quickly, and hurriedly waved his hand and ordered: "Hurry up and catch him." ”

The man in cloth wanted to run away again, but was directly knocked down by several people, shouting in despair: "Trash! Ninjas are rubbish! ”

Ebisu was completely overwhelmed by such a scene.

Looking at Yintai's casual appearance, a sense of strangeness suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Sorry to disturb you, let's go."

The leader reluctantly squeezed out a smile, bowed to Ginta and the others, and then picked up the man in cloth and walked away quickly.

"Ginta, you ......" Ebisu didn't know what to say.

"The man's left hand lacks a little thumb or ring finger, and the wound is smooth, apparently forcibly dodged......"

Yinta said casually: "There is only one possibility, he is a person who often gambles, and he was punished for being found out." ”

"I can't believe a word about gambling on dogs."

Ginta stepped forward to pick up the bamboo skewers and threw them into the trash can on the side of the street.

Littering is not a good boy.

"I can't imagine that you are so naïve in Ebisu!" Kira added takoyaki and said with a smile: "Do you want to be a savior?" ”

"You, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ebisu's face was flushed, and he hurriedly defended his embarrassment: "I'm just embarrassed to hurt him directly." ”

Kime came over at this time: "Article 9 of the Ninja Code - Ninjas should avoid entanglement with ordinary people in the process of performing their tasks.

Now you probably understand that. ”

"It's a chaotic world, and the human heart is countless times more terrible than ghosts. You may never be able to tell the difference between good and evil, so following the rules is the best thing to do. ”

Ebisu muttered quietly, "Isn't that just an emotionless tool?" ”

Gongdao looked at him for a few seconds, until Ebisu began to feel uneasy and said, "That's right.

However, ninjas sometimes need to be adaptable, as all kinds of accidents can happen. ”

Kira was a little confused, "Isn't that a contradiction?" ”

"Perhaps, at least for you shinobi, you just need to obey orders honestly."

Gongdao's face was indifferent: "Because you are not qualified, and you will not encounter such a complicated situation." ”

“……”

Shinobi really has no human rights.

After the four of them finished eating, they simply walked around the night market and returned to the hotel room.

"What's wrong with this little brother?"

When Ebisu went to the toilet, he found that his face was not right and Yujiro asked suspiciously.

Ginta took out her sleeping bag and replied casually, "I accidentally stepped on dog shit." ”

"Oh."
