Kyojuro, the life of a Hokage since the age of one
Chapter 96 The Thief
The three-person team was walking in the capital of the Kingdom of Wind. According to the hand-drawn version of the capital map provided by the hotel owner, they wanted to go to the market to see what special products the Kingdom of Wind had that could be taken back to the Kingdom of Fire as souvenirs.
What they didn't expect was that there were flowers blooming in many places in the city.
Duofu poked the red desert rose on the roadside and said, "As expected of a capital city, flowers can be grown in the desert."
"The capital is built around a large oasis, and the groundwater is more abundant than other places, which is not surprising."
"Let's buy some seeds and go back."
Xingjuro calculated the time. It was spring now, so he would plant flowers when he got back, so that they would bloom at Uncle Quan Na's wedding.
Duofu held the map and led the way, "We're almost there, we're almost there, wait, we need to take a detour here."
Yu leaned over and took a look, "Can't we just go directly? Why take a detour?"
"This area is where the noble officials who the boss specifically ordered live, and should be avoided."
It’s not like they have never seen big nobles in the Country of Fire.
"How come the nobles of the Kingdom of Wind are so temperamental that they don't even allow others to walk on the road at the door?"
Uchiha Yu clicked his tongue in displeasure, and Anjuro analyzed, "They must live closer to the water source. My uncle also said yesterday that they are worried about the water source being poisoned every day."
"The boss also kindly reminded us that we should take a detour, it's not far."
Several people were about to turn around and leave when Tatomi suddenly grabbed Yu and Anjuro and quietly hid around the corner of the building.
"What's wrong?"
Duofu pursed his lips towards the aristocratic neighborhood, "Did you see that he sold his body to bury his father?"
You poked his head out and said, "Hey, don't tell me, you're pretty pretty, and your eyes are pretty good."
Xingshou Lang felt something was wrong, "That woman wants to sell her body to bury her father. Why not go to a more relaxed neighborhood nearby? Maybe if she screams a few times, some kind-hearted people can directly donate a few coins to her."
Duofu had a wretched look on his face, "In order to sell more money, maybe some noble will take a fancy to him and marry him directly into the house as his wife. A girl should be pretty and filial~"
"Seriously, stop joking."
Yu understood Xing Julang's meaning, "Are you saying that this woman is waiting here on purpose? The purpose is not to sell her body to bury her father, but to guard a certain mission goal?"
"Then this disguise is too obvious. She is the only one in white in the yellow sand. She can easily see it, unless everyone is blind, unless..."
The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "She's the bait."
Duofu just felt like his head was heavy, "Let's go quickly. We are not familiar with the place where we live. It's best not to get involved in these things."
Anjuro hesitated a little, but Yu pulled him forcefully and left the neighborhood immediately.
"Xingjuro, don't get involved in other people's cause and effect. We know nothing about the identity of both parties and the origin of the incident. Taking action hastily will only send yourself into the mouth of death."
Xingjuro knew this truth. He was not a child. In the process of exorcising ghosts in his previous life, he had seen too many enemies between human beings and even close relatives. He was not so naive and thought that as long as he got rid of the ghost king in the world, There will be no more disasters.
All he can do is serve as a wall and a knife between humans and ghosts, allowing humans to have the opportunity to make their own choices.
In this life... maybe he was really spoiled. Xingjulang took a step forward and took the initiative to hug his friends.
"Sorry, I got distracted. Thank you for reminding me."
Anjurou's neat apology and hug made Yu feel a little embarrassed.
Tatomi returned the hug magnanimously, patting Anjuro's back and Yu's shoulder.
"You're welcome. We are good friends."
…
The three-person team ate from the beginning to the end of the market. The famous dates and sea buckthorn were delicious, probably due to the climate here. The fruit was very sweet, and of course the price was very impressive.
There are two kinds of shawarma: mutton and chicken. They ordered one portion each and watched the store owner use a long knife to peel off the meat from the surface of the huge meat roll and then roll it into the pancake.
After the meat is marinated with special spices, it has a fragrant aroma. It is a completely different type of delicious food from the stew of the Land of Fire.
After Anjuro bought a large bag of desert rose seeds, it was time to go to the hotel in the evening. The three of them returned to the hotel. As soon as they walked up to the second floor, Yu immediately made a warning gesture.
Anjuro held the handle of the knife behind him, and Tatomi stood on the other side with his body slightly bent, always ready to take action.
The people in the room seemed to realize that the owner of the room was at the door and stopped.
The two sides were in a stalemate across the door, each waiting for the other to make the first move.
"Guest? What's going on?"
The voice of the store owner downstairs broke the silence upstairs, and the figure in the house quickly approached the window.
He wants to run!
Yu opened the door, and the full picture of the intruder appeared in front of the three people.
It's actually a puppet.
The puppet turned its head 180 degrees to look at them. The strange patterns on its face combined with the inhuman posture were very strange.
Duofu was the first to rush in, swinging his knife to cut. The puppet's operator didn't seem to expect that the young man was so reckless. He immediately controlled the puppet to open its mouth, revealing the cold light shining inside.
Swish swish——
Tatomi rolled on the spot and avoided this wave of attacks. He took the opportunity to touch Anjuro near the puppet and cut off the chakra wires connected to the puppet's joints and extending upward with a knife.
The additional ability of the explosive knife made the tiny explosion spread along the chakra thread. The ten fingers of the puppeteer behind him were all numb due to the sudden explosion, and he could only retreat unwillingly.
Kyojuro opened his Sharingan, and after confirming through the wall that the attacker had escaped and there were no other ninjas waiting nearby, he sheathed the knife.
"What's going on?"
Yu was sorting out the things in the room, "All the bags were opened, and the sealed scrolls were unfolded, but he failed to unseal them. He must have come to steal things."
Duofu bypassed the three poison needles shot on the ground by the puppet. The purple-black color was highly toxic.
"What should we do with this thing? Just put it here?"
"You can only put it there, I'm afraid it's poisonous."
Kyojuro carefully observed the internal structure of the puppet.
There were many cavities to hide weapons, which seemed to be poisoned. There were also matching mechanisms near the cavities. For a while, he couldn't even confirm where this thing was safe.
Fearing that there were hidden weapons and poisons on the puppet, the three could only go into the inner room first.
Fortunately, they originally requested a suite.
In the evening, Senju Fujian's business was almost done. It took longer than he thought, but fortunately, it was profitable.
Because the daimyo of the Wind Country not only ate it himself, but also gave a few pieces to the noble ministers he valued, Senju Fujian was blocked by others to discuss business and pulled several orders. Now he has sent the spirit beast back to the Senju clan to inform the clan members to prepare.
As soon as he entered the door, he found the puppet lying in the living room and three poisonous needles nailed on the ground.
There are enemies here! Where are the children!
"Kyojuro! Duofu! You!"
Confirming that it was Senju Fujian, the three of them came out from the inner room.
"Uncle, we're fine."
"Master Fujian, this thing was left by the attacker."
After confirming that the three children were unharmed, Qianshou Fujian was relieved.
"Well done, it's right not to chase and not to move."
He took out a long blank scroll and wrapped the puppet up, then sealed it in another scroll, and prepared to take it back to the Fire Country for research along with the poison needles on the ground.
"What is the enemy's purpose?"
"When we came in, he was rummaging around."
Duofu was puzzled, "We didn't bring anything this time, and Hangua was given to their city guards early in the morning."
Qianshou Fujian cut off a large piece of the floor contaminated by the poison needles and asked You to make it harmless.
"They probably thought we would bring something."
In fact, he already had a guess in his mind that they probably wanted the seeds of Hangua.
It happened too coincidentally. At noon, the daimyo of the Wind Country had just rewarded the nobles with Hangua, and in the afternoon, thieves came to their place of residence.
It seems that they are ninjas hired by a noble who ate winter melon at a banquet. They want to avoid the daimyo of the Wind Country and get winter melon directly from the source.
It would be best if they can find seeds. If not, they can take a few winter melons back and pick out the seeds.
Senju Fujian clapped his hands. It seems that they can't just sell ordinary winter melons.
Things with huge profits must be controlled by their own people.
"Uncle, if they don't find what they want, will they come again?"
"Maybe," Senju Fujian said, "Pack up your things and return as soon as possible."
