The Legend of Hinata of Konoha

Chapter 8 Hotel
Leaving Konoha quietly, I sting all the way to the north, moving slowly.

For three days in a row, he did not come across a single intact village or town.Along the way, he passed some deserted no man's land, so he had to eat and sleep in the wild.

"This damn war!" Nibbling on the dry food in his hand, he cursed bitterly.

Originally, he took a rough map with him when he went out, but the previous war had left many villages with people on the map deserted.

However, fortunately, although the journey was more difficult, I did not encounter thieves or robbers.From this, it can be seen that the deterrence scope of Muye Village is still very wide.

"It seems that I think the journey and practice are too simple!" He sighed, put away the dry food, wrapped the blanket around his body tightly, and fell into a deep sleep in the tree hole.

"Ha, ha!" Yizhe exclaimed excitedly.

Finally on the fourth day, he saw a black smoke from a distance, opened his eyes, and he clearly saw that it was a village with people.

He hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and he was a little excited when he entered the village.

The village is not very big, he wandered around in it, and finally found a small hotel in a corner.

"Boss, come to a guest room!" The boy's clear voice echoed in the hall.

"This guest, there is only one room left, what do you want?"

Hearing the sound, an old man got up from behind the bar and asked respectfully to Yi Zhe.

The old man is about 60 years old, his complexion is dark yellow, his face is covered with wrinkles, and he wears a pair of reading glasses.His gestures are very humble, and no one can fault him. He looks like a very kind old man.

"There's only one room...then... just let it go!" After thinking about it for a while, Yi Zhe decided to stay here first, he had had enough of eating and sleeping in the wild these days.

"Is there anything to eat? Give me something to eat!"

"There's only a little beef and a few steamed buns left! Would you like to?" the old man asked softly.

"It's okay, just eat it!" These days, he ate dry food and was about to vomit, so he ordered those things without hesitation.

"Wait a minute!" The old man smiled and turned to leave.

Not long after, he came up with a plate of beef and some steamed buns.

It's not polite to sting once, just eat it with your arms open.

The old man watched quietly from the side as the young man gobbled it up.

"Old man, is there any caravan or other large groups going to the Iron Country recently?" Yixie asked the old man after drinking a few mouthfuls of water and swallowing the food.

Generally speaking, in places like taverns and hotels, the flow of people is the most complicated, and the shopkeepers know more about the situation, so he decided to ask the old man about the situation.

"Are you going to the Land of Iron?" The old man was a little surprised.

It was a neutral country dominated by warriors, covered by heavy snow all year round.He didn't understand what the little guy was doing there.

"Yeah!" Yizhe nodded, and said again: "It's really lonely and hard to travel alone, and I'm not familiar with the route, and it's a big trouble to replenish halfway, so I want to go with others!"

"Looking at your attire, you should still be a ninja!" The old man looked him up and down.

"Well, I've already graduated from school and I'm doing traveling training!"

"I see! Then... do you want to earn some travel expenses?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Yizhe put down the bun in his hand after hearing the words, and asked suspiciously, "Old man, what do you mean by that?"

"A few days ago, a group of merchants came to my small shop and were about to go to the Iron Country to do business. Although I have recruited a few samurai as guards, I still feel that it is not enough, and I want to find two ninjas to sit in the town. "

"However, our village is located in a remote place, and there are very few ninjas passing by, so they haven't been able to find suitable ninjas as guards, so they have delayed their schedule until now!" The old man explained the situation one by one with a smile.

"So, the old man wants to introduce me to be their guard?" He rolled his eyes and immediately understood the old man's plan.

The old man didn't answer, just nodded with a smile.

"This... Let me think about it!" She didn't directly refuse, but she didn't agree either.

"It's okay! Just think about it slowly, and just tell the old man when you think about it!" The old man replied politely without being moved.

"Old man, how much does it cost to stay in the hotel and add these food?" Yi Zhe, who was full and full, just wanted to rest now, settled the bill with all his heart, and then went back to sleep in peace.

"1 taels!" The old man reported a number with a smile.

"Ten thousand... what!"

"You're too dark! It's just your shabby shop, plus this little food, it costs [-] yuan?" The high cost immediately made Yizhe frowned, stood up abruptly, and glared at the old man. .

"Young man, it's not good to eat the overlord's meal! We operate on a small budget and don't accept credit!"

As he spoke, the old man restrained his smile, and a powerful Chakra breath burst out from his body.

"What!" He was startled suddenly.

The strength of the aura emanating from the old man was no less than that of the day.

I didn't expect this remote shop to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This old guy is actually a Junin-level powerhouse. No wonder he dared to charge such a high fee.

If you insist on fighting and causing conflicts, I'm afraid you won't be able to please.Thinking of this, Yi Zhe had no choice but to let go of the fist clenched behind his back.

"Here you are!" Feeling the powerful aura from the old man, he had no choice but to give in, gave the old man a hard look, and simply took out the money on his body and threw it on the table.

Although Huojian and Hezi left him a lot of property, he didn't bring much money with him when he went out this time.

After paying the bill, you are almost penniless.

"Guest, your room is the one on the far right on the second floor!" After accepting the fee, the old man restrained his breath, as if nothing had happened, and still guided him with a smile.

In the middle of the night, Yizhe who was lying on the bed recalled the situation during the day, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, he tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"There are only 500 taels left! With only this little money, I'm afraid the journey will be difficult!" Looking at the only five banknotes in his hand, he was extremely distressed.

When you are away from home, without money, it is difficult to move an inch.Although he planned to go out to practice on a journey, he didn't intend to torture himself. He would eat and sleep outside every day, living a life like an ascetic monk.

In fact, he was very tempted when the old man proposed to let him be a caravan guard.

Firstly, you can partner with a caravan and drop by to the Land of Iron; secondly, you can get a reward for guarding the caravan.

It can be said that this is a proposal that serves multiple purposes.

However, the caravan has not set off for a long time, and it still insists on finding ninjas as guards. I am afraid that the road ahead will be difficult and there will be many twists and turns.

Before, he walked alone. Although he was single and weak, no one was willing to provoke him. At first glance, he was a ninja who didn't care about anything.

On the contrary, if you are a caravan guard, you are afraid that there will be countless desperadoes who will come to rob you, and the good and bad times will be unpredictable. You are really asking for trouble.

However, having said that, if one has not experienced bloody battles and battlefield baptism, how can one gain experience?

Yizhe was a little confused, he began to regret that he went out to practice alone so recklessly.
