Konoha Ninja Warrior

The masked man said calmly: "We are just kind-hearted to help you treat your sick mother. Although the medicine is mixed with something special, of course, under normal circumstances, there is no harm in suppressing it with our medicine. As for what we want What, we just want to get some news."

"Delusion, I will not betray Mr. Yukimura." Takeyama Ryo quickly understood what the other party meant. His own value was just to be a spy within the training camp. He also thought of the three spies that Mr. Yukimura captured. Could it be that they were also sent by them?

The masked man seemed to see through his thoughts and said: "Just as you thought, if those three losers didn't fail, they wouldn't have to come to you. But there is one thing you said wrong. What we need is just a little information. It’s far from a betrayal. You know, Tokugawa Yukimura didn’t prohibit you from revealing information to the outside world, right?”

Takeyama Ryo looked at the other party angrily, but the pain and threat were far from enough to make him compromise. Although Mr. Yukimura has never said that information must not be disclosed, the information of each school is a top priority, and it is a basic understanding among samurai that it must not be disclosed to outsiders.

"Think about it, I still have time, but maybe your mother has time." The masked man turned and left after speaking, but before leaving, he dropped a bottle of medicine and said, "This is The secret medicine to assist in cultivation, presumably, as the tail of the crane, you need this very much."

After lying on the cold ground for a long time, Zhushan Ryo stood up after the pain in his abdomen eased a lot. He looked at the medicine bottle on the ground, hesitated for a while, finally picked it up, and then cleaned his body Dust, go home.

"Why are you back now?" Mrs. Zhushan asked with some concern. "There is still some soy sauce at home. I have already made do with cooking."

Zhu Shanliang looked at the steaming dishes on the table, looked at the rough palms of his mother and the wrinkles on his face, smiled and said, "The shop's father is closed, so I walked a little further."

Ryo Takeyama's mother didn't notice anything strange, she just listened patiently to the little things her son encountered during training. She knew nothing about cultivation, so she could only tell her children to give them more guidance and rest, so as not to break down from exhaustion.

This time spent together as usual, for Zhu Shanliang, is his spiritual support, but when he thinks that his mother has been controlled by poison, he can't help but feel like a knife is piercing his heart.

Mrs. Zhushan saw that he looked wrong and asked cautiously: "What's wrong? Is the food not to the taste?"

"No," Zhushan Ryo smiled, "It's because I haven't eaten the food made by my mother for a long time, and I just miss it."

At night, thick dark clouds obscured the moon. Takeyama Ryo sat in the room and looked at the small porcelain bottle in front of him. At this time, his heart was full of entanglements.

He thought a lot at this moment, including his father's tireless teachings when he was a child. He still remembered his father's expectant eyes. He poured his hope into his son despite the ups and downs in his life. He recalled the envy of his neighbors when he was selected for the training camp. , thinking of the pain of not making much progress despite the arduous training in the training camp, and finally, he thought of his mother's loving eyes.

Thinking of the end, he finally made up his mind and stretched out his hand to the medicine bottle on the opposite side. It was clearly within reach, but it took him quite a while to get the medicine bottle in his hand.

"Since they have controlled my mother, there is no need to tamper with the medicine. Otherwise, compared with the strength in the evening, if they want to use medicine to control me, they can force-feed me." Zhu Shanliang thought in his heart.

Poured out a pill exuding the smell of medicinal materials, Zhu Shanliang didn't hesitate anymore, swallowed the pill at once, then sat down cross-legged, and started the usual practice.

When he didn't feel any difference at all, and almost thought that the other party was playing with him, the change began.A warm current emerges from the abdomen, and then gently travels through the whole body.Zhu Shanliang felt that the cells in his whole body were like rain on a dry land, and all the cells were cheering.

After the heat flow disappeared, Ryo Takeyama reluctantly quit the cultivation mode, and after feeling his physical condition, he was surprised to find that his Chakra had increased significantly. Although the increase was not much, it was comparable to Compared with the usual self-cultivation, the progress is also very large.

At this time, Takeyama Ryo looked at the remaining pills in the medicine bottle and felt hot in his heart, "As long as I always have the help of this secret medicine, I can catch up with those geniuses."

The determined Zhushan Ryo decided to temporarily fool the other party, and at the same time rely on his own efforts to solve his mother's problems. As for the information, he was going to pick up unimportant information to prevaricate the other party. Anyway, they didn't say what kind of information they needed.

After calming down his excited mood, feeling his progress again, and confirming that it was not a dream, Zhushan Ryo forced himself to rest as usual.

The next day, Ryo Takeyama took a rare break for himself. On this day, he reduced his practice time and chose to spend more time communicating with his mother. Then after lunch, he said a reluctant goodbye to his mother and started on his way to and from training camp.

But on the way back, he suddenly stopped on a remote laughing road. After looking around and seeing no one, he said to the air: "Come out, I know you are following me."

The masked man he met last time appeared without accident, this time Ryo Zhushan still didn't find out how he appeared, but with this difference in strength, he thought he would soon catch up with him.

"It seems that you have made your choice, so what is your answer?" the masked man asked still without emotion.

Ryo Takeyama took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He said, "I can tell you some information, but you must ensure the safety of my mother, otherwise, I will report you to Master Yukimura and Mifune."

"Don't worry, we have always been trustworthy." The masked man replied, "We will conduct transactions once a week, and information and temporary antidote will be exchanged at equal prices. If there is still important information, yesterday's secret medicine can also be used as an extra Provided for you."

Takeyama Ryo felt the presence of the medicine bottle in his pocket, and thought of yesterday's joyful progress. Then he took out a letter containing information and threw it to the other party, saying: "I hope you can keep your word."

"Of course, you will find out in the future what a right choice it was to trade with us." The masked man took the letter and quickly disappeared.

Soon after, the letter appeared in the hands of Finance Minister Hirano.
