Hoshino Mu trembled, the toothpick in his mouth fell to the ground, and the crossed Jiro leg also retracted like a spring.

Halfway down, Hoshino froze.

No, no one here will deduct their salary, no leader check, because they are the leader!

This strange posture was looked at by Ye Cang, who entered the door, his big eyes as amber as crystal squinted into a slit, and he said sarcastically with his arms around his chest: "Hoshino-sama, could it be that there are rats in the office?" ”

"Not just now, but now there is."

"Humph!"

Ye Cang tilted his head slightly, not arguing with him.

"Tell me, find me something."

Hoshino Maki retracted his legs and leaned back in a wide chair.

"I'm going to Yuyin Village too."

Seeing Hoshino Mu frowning, Hakura explained:

"There is Luo Sha in the village to guard, it's useless for me here, my body is about to rust, it's better to meet the four generations of Ai."

"What do you mean, you want to be Jing Ke?!"

This girl is not a violent maniac, and she is uncomfortable without fighting for a day.

Ye Cang didn't know what Jing Ke meant, but she could understand the resistance in the other party's tone.

She was silent for a long time, lowered her eyes, and said in an extremely low tone: "I didn't know that there were so many problems in the village before, and I thought that as long as I won the war, I could make a good life for the villagers. But the village doesn't seem to be getting better because of this, and people are still struggling to get enough to eat, and I walked around the village today, and it seems that only the stone monument in the cemetery is increasing, and I know many of the names on it. ”

Ye Cang took a deep breath and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know if what you did was right or not, but I think my previous idea was wrong." Now the village needs to exchange these captives for resources, and your safety is important, understand? ”

At some point, Hoshino Mu had straightened his back, propped his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and stared at each other tightly: "What do you know?" ”

Ye Cang shook his head and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little solemn all of a sudden, and after a long time, Hoshino Mu spit out a sentence: "Okay, I'll let you know when I leave." ”

Ye Cang nodded and turned to leave without saying a word.

Hoshino Maki's index finger was gently pulled on the table, his eyes looking ahead, but his mind didn't know where to fly.

————

In the next few days, the village entered a rare calm, everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to set off.

The gate of the village is a long canyon, and you can see the whole picture of the village when you pass through it.

This easy-to-defend terrain protects the safety of the village, but it also restricts the village's commercial development.

The scorching sunlight shone through the narrow passage on the departing procession.

"Are you all here?"

"It's all right."

Hoshino Maki swept around, and the team consisted of 5 people, one representative each of Kosuke, Hakura, Chiyo, and Orange Juro, as well as Hoshino Maki himself.

Of course, this is on the surface, and secretly the dark side will also provide protection.

After all, it's still rare for a three-person fool like Tuanzang to go.

But with such a combination, there will be ghosts if the team atmosphere can be good.

Hoshino Maki and Chiyo representatives talked and laughed, Kosuke and Hakura didn't talk without asking, like two guards, and Orange Juro's representative had an indifferent face, triangular eyes facing the sky, and a posture of not disturbing the living.

Several of them were extremely powerful ninjas, and although they didn't rush at full speed, they were not slow, and they rushed to the border outposts of the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain when it was slightly dark.

"Hoshino-sama."

The ninjas at the outpost greeted Hoshino Makki warmly, and if it weren't for the adults behind Hoshino Makki, I am afraid they would be even closer.

After dinner, Hoshino Maki sat in front of the campfire, thinking about the negotiation with the cloud ninja village.

The dilemma of Shayin Village is in an uproar in the village, and the spies will not know that if Yun Ren does not take the opportunity to lower the price, it will be too amateurish.

Hoshino Maki does not have the ability to predict the future, so he can only imagine a few more situations in case of emergency.

"Adult"

A childish ninja with a little freckles on his face came to Hoshino Makki's side.

Hoshino Mu raised his head, and when he saw the visitor, he smiled and said, "Yi, long time no see." ”

The ninja named Yi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "I didn't expect my lord to remember my name." ”

"Of course, you're a good ninja."

"My lord has won the award, I'm just a mediocre shinobi, and I don't have any skills."

Hoshino Mu stood up and pressed the other party's head, rubbing his unkempt hair vigorously: "Really? But I think you're very capable. The guard work of the outpost, only you are the most serious, your ninja equipment is wiped every day, the ninjas of the entire outpost are full of praise for you, with your protection, the village will be very relieved, and your brother will be proud of you if he is still there. ”

Yi's body froze in place, trembling slightly, as if he was using all his strength to suppress the hot emotions in his heart.

He stood there, his fists clenched open, his mouth pursed, and he whispered:

"yes, he'll be proud of me, he will."

After speaking, his originally hesitant gaze was a little firmer.

"Someone bullied you?"

Hoshino Mu looked at his abnormal demeanor and said with a frown.

Yi shook his head: "No." My lord, can you..."

His gaze looked around him, and he looked unspeakable.

Hoshino Mu followed his gaze, and saw the ninjas patrolling the outpost looking here from time to time, muttered for a moment, and nodded: "Follow me." ”

Hoshino Maki led Tsui towards a sand dune not far from the outpost.

"My lord, are you going out so late? It's not safe around at night, and giant scorpion ants are often spotted. ”

Walking to the gate of the outpost, the vigilant ninja saw Hoshino Mu coming, and quickly got up and respectfully persuaded him.

"It's okay, I'll take Yi around here with me and I'll be back soon."

Hoshino Maki insisted, and no one else could stop it.

The two of them walked one after the other to the top of the hill.

Yi's gaze was against the back of the person in front of him, and his palm retracted into his sleeve and then took it out again, repeating this several times, and finally, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and strengthened his inner thoughts, and the cold glow of Kunai flashed between his fingers.

"Is it decided?"

The person in front of him didn't look back, and said in a light tone.

"W-What?"

Yi retracted Kunai back into his sleeve and said calmly.

"Yi, do you know, in fact, you have another advantage, that is, you don't lie."

As he spoke, Hoshino was the first to climb to the top of the hill and enjoy the beauty of the desert beneath the boundless dome.

The wind blew the corners of the two of them, but Yi was sweating at this time.

"My lord, when did you find out?"

The throat was like parched soil, hoarse and desperate.

"From the first glance of each other's eyes, I knew it, after all, I can't hide the eyes of a person who wants to stab, Yi."

Hoshino Mu turned his head and said in a calm tone, "Now it's my turn to ask you, who asked you to kill me?" ”
