Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 97
When Akamaru was officially handed over to Marutani Kou, Inuzuka Gaba had already solemnly told it to obey Marutani Koko's orders, and at this time Akamaru was obediently lying in Marutani Kou's arms.

"Akamaru, do you still remember the smell of the black book?" After departure, Marutani Kou confirmed to Akamaru again.

"Wow!" Akamaru shook his tail and nodded.

"Okay, then let's go."

Akamaru stretched out his claws and began to guide Marutani Kou, and Marutani Kou immediately moved in the direction indicated by Akamaru.

After passing through all the streets, Marutani Koko was shocked to find that in front of him was a very prosperous night market in the village, and Akamaru was staring at the depths of the night market.

"is it here?"

"Wang!"

Akamaru, are you sure you're smelling businessmen, not gourmet food?

How could the merchant be in the night market?Isn't it easy to hide in this kind of place where people come and go?

Although Marutani Kou had some doubts, if he didn't believe in Akamaru, he would lose all clues. He had no choice but to trust Akamaru's sense of smell and continue to go deep into the night market.

The bustling night market was crowded with people, and Marutani Kou inevitably slowed down in the crowd, and Akamaru's sense of smell was also affected to a certain extent by the delicious food.

"Akamaru! Not there!"

The corners of Akamaru's eyes stared blankly at the barbecue stand beside him. If Marutani Kou hadn't reacted in time and grabbed its body, Akamaru would probably have run over by now.

But even though he grabbed Chimaru's body, he obviously didn't grasp its heart. Akamaru still turned his head from time to time, looking at all kinds of tempting delicacies on the roadside, let alone Akamaru, even Marutani Airlines was affected Then, my stomach started to react.

The "Akamaru Compass" has expired, and Marutani Koko can only make a promise to Akamaru in advance for Akamaru to continue to work hard.

"Akamaru, let's finish the task first, and I'll buy it for you when everything is over, okay?"

"Wang!"

Marutani Ko's promise made Akamaru regain his spirits in an instant, he let out a cheerful bark, and turned his head back. The speed was so fast that Marutani Koko even wondered if the dog was playing himself on purpose.

One person and one dog shuttled among the crowd in the busy city. Many hawkers directly recognized this famous boy and invited him to taste their own delicacies.

"Sorry everyone, I still have something to do, let's try something next time."

Normally, Marutani Koko would definitely stop and enjoy it, but now he is not in the mood to eat, so he directly rejected everyone's kindness.

But the hawkers didn't know the young man's mood at this time, they thought he was embarrassed, and they took the initiative to stuff food into his arms.

I tm!

With a lot of food stuffed in his arms, Akamaru was happily surrounded by delicious food.

Marutani Koko was really depressed, he wanted to curse but couldn't, after all the hawkers were innocent and they didn't know what happened to Marutani Koko.

Then he can only vent his anger on that unconscionable businessman.

Marutani Koko endured his anger and accepted the food, and paid the hawkers one by one the money they should have paid.

After finishing all this, he immediately quickened his pace, dragging Akamaru and ran wildly for a while, finally, with his efforts, one person and one dog came to the end of the prosperous night market - a huge wall.

The deepest part of the night market is a dead end, and there is no one living nearby. Compared with the bustling night market tens of meters away, it looks very deserted.

It's deserted here, but there's no place to hide people, right?

Akamaru settled down after reaching the wall, and now seeing that Marutani Kou had lost his mind, he yelled softly towards the other side of the wall.

Is it on the other side of the wall?
In order to verify his guess, Marutani Ko hid his breath, found a place and climbed up the wall. When he climbed up to the top of the wall, he found that the other side of the wall was actually a dilapidated old house.

Is it in this house?

The house looked very deserted, all kinds of dilapidated materials were scattered on the ground, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time. There was a well in the yard, and there was nothing else worth paying attention to.

From now on, Marutani Koko doesn't plan to bring Akamaru with him, and he doesn't know what he will face next. For Akamaru's safety, he decides to part with Akamaru here.

He put Akamaru down on the ground, took out some dog-friendly food from the food he had just received, and put it in front of Akamaru.

"Wang!"

When Akamaru saw the food he liked, he jumped on it excitedly, feeling like a "tiger rushing to eat".

Marutani Koko gently stroked Akamaru's hair, just like stroking the little gray at home.

"Akamaru, I'll go in by myself from now on, you can go back first."

"Wow?" Akamaru tilted his head in confusion, with some food stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Marutani Kou gently wiped away the residue from the corner of Akamaru's mouth.

Akamaru is not an ordinary dog, but a standard ninja dog. It must be no problem for him to go back by himself.

"Okay, it's time for me to act."

Marutani Kou tied the remaining food to Akamaru's body and patted it on the back.

"Let you take these back to Naruto and the others for supper."

Akamaru was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to be a courier, so he screamed desperately.

"It takes extra money!"

Of course, Marutani Koko didn't know what Akamaru meant, and thought he was saying goodbye to him, so he was a little moved.

"Goodbye Akamaru! I'm leaving!"

Akamaru watched innocently as Marutani Koko dropped himself over the wall and disappeared.

Marutani Koko climbed into the house and began to observe the situation of the house at close range.

There are no guards here, and the overall style is very dark.

Marutani Ko slowed down and secretly summoned Kun, wanting to use Chakra to see if there were other ninjas around.

Kun's chakra perception ability is very strong, and it stands to reason that no one can escape his search, but the observation result surprised Marutani Kou, the whole yard, including every room, did not have any trace of chakra.

not here?
Marutani stood in a daze in the empty yard.

So Akamaru got it wrong?
Marutani Kou turned back from the wall, but Akamaru had long since disappeared.

……

Marutani Kou, who lost his compass, returned to the empty house and began to look for possible clues.

There are still several intact rooms in the house. He tried to open the door of one of the rooms. As soon as the door was opened, the unpleasant smell and pungent dust in the room rushed to his face instantly, and there was also a thick accumulation of dust on the floor. There is a layer of dust, and it can be seen from various traces that there is no sign of human activities in this house in a short period of time.

Marutani Kou left the room holding his nose.

This is not like a place where people live!

Marutani tried to push away the other rooms, but the scene he saw was exactly the same as in the previous room.

Marutani Kou was a little puzzled, he exited the room, turned back again, and checked the direction of the house at the position where Akamaru was standing just now.

That's right, Akamaru must be targeting this house, so where is the problem?
