People in Ninja world are blood clan

Chapter 7 The Gray Area
Ichihara Shuhei had the Namakaze Minato team leading the way, and within a day he withdrew from the Iwanin defense area and came to the Konoha and Iwanin buffer zone.

In the ninja world, the buffer zone between the five major countries is mostly some small countries, and the buffer zone between the country of earth and the country of fire is the country of grass, the country of taki, and the country of rain.

And their five-person team is in the country of grass, and in half a day they can return to Konoha's hidden stake stronghold in the country of grass, and then transfer to the defense area where Konoha is stationed in the country of grass.
As for the behavior of setting up one's own defense zone on other countries during the war, it can only be said that this is the characteristic of ninja war.

Most of the land in the Country of Grass is wilderness, which can be seen at a glance, and a group of people can still meet the native ninjas of the Country of Grass when they are running.

The "will of fire" of Konoha village in the country of fire emphasizes the dedication and sacrifice spirit of "where the leaves dance, the flames are endless", while the "will of grass" of grass hidden village in the country of grass is like a weed. The fire will never burn out, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate.” The tenacious will to survive is also the will to adapt to the wind.

At the time when the war between Iwanin and Konoha broke out, as a buffer area, Kusunin only had the right to choose a side to rely on. The village of Iwasin declared war suddenly. The leader of Kusanagi had not clearly stated his position, but Kusanagi did not dare to provoke them at will. Konoha Ninja or Iwa Ninja encountered in the territory took the initiative to retreat.

Minato also sent out a concise and serious Kunai to warn those who noticed their actions, Kunai consciously backed away.

Kusanagi didn't seem to want to be troublesome, and avoided the group of people from a distance.

The Minato team sent Shuhei Ichihara and the injured Chunin to a market town in the Country of Grass, which is a gray area in the Country of Grass, where Konoha set up a hidden stake.

All parties have established strongholds in such a gray area, and there are also some private mercenary wandering ninja organization forces.

Namikaze Minato sent the two to the Konoha Dark Stake stronghold in the market town, and handed over the remaining matters to these people.

Shuhei Ichihara happily expressed his gratitude to everyone in the Minato team, but the gratitude was limited to between missions.Everyone in the Minato class is an important figure in the ninja world in the future, but if you want to make friends in a short period of time, you need not only a little opportunity, but also personal strength to make friends with others.

Ichihara Shuhei, a mediocre "three no" ninja who is still a ninja, is really not easy to deal with young geniuses, Uchiha clansmen, and three generations of disciples.

But the future is long.

After handling this rescue mission, the Minato team set off for the Iwanoshi defense area again, and Ichihara Shuhei only reported his identity information to the base staff, and the base staff asked him to wait here for arrangements.

Compared to the Chunin who had valuable information and was still injured, Shuhei Ichihara, a Junin who didn't have too many problems, was obviously a plus that could be dealt with slowly.

Ichihara Shuhei also had no objection, and after getting permission, he took off the Konoha forehead guard and started walking around this gray area market town.

A market town is a gray area formed by various needs and interests, where you can see all kinds of people.

Wandering ninjas and samurai, mercenaries and consortiums, spies from big countries and eyes and ears from small countries, people of various colors that symbolize here make this market town gray.

And because of the war between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire, this gray market town among the great powers now has a murderous look. The most obvious thing is that Konoha and Iwanobu have already been in semi-public information here. Relevant people will take the initiative to provoke this pair of hostile forces in a sensitive state.

In such a market town where chaos and rules coexist, Ichihara Shuhei discovered the most important thing:

That is, the people here are not very strong!At least he didn't see any powerful ninja who was famous in the ninja world.

Maybe when the sun goes down, he can choose to do something meaningful.
With this intention in mind, Ichihara Shuhei walked through the streets of the market town, observing and collecting various miscellaneous information with his eyes and ears.

From time to time, he could also see shops selling knives and sharp weapons or mercenaries waiting to be hired. Shuhei Ichihara sometimes saw something exciting, but he had no choice but to give up because of his cash.

Thinking of money, Ichihara Shuhei couldn't help but look at a public toilet passing by
There is a bounty agency in the ninja world, which is set up everywhere in the ninja world. On the surface, toilets are used as a cover for the stench of corpses.

And in the bounty house, you can receive all kinds of gray and black employment and get money.

But Ichihara Shuhei is not sure that this toilet is a bounty organization.
Um, he just saw a muscular man wearing a mask and a turban, with dark skin and only a pair of green eyes, stepping into the toilet.

Well, this should be a bounty house disguised as a public toilet, unless the most famous bounty hunters just want to use the toilet
Ichihara Shuhei doesn't want to deal directly with this kind of characters who have kage-level strength or neutral chaotic camp.

Just when he was about to leave, a cowering figure tried to approach him quietly.

Ichihara Shuhei reached for his ninja bag, the man stopped immediately, and said with a face full of embarrassment:

"Don't, handsome ninja brother, I have something important to see you!"

Ichihara Shuhei looked at this person up and down, he was short and thin, as if he was malnourished, and his subconscious bent over and begging for mercy showed that this person was a small person who was begging for life in the war.

"What's the matter with you?" Ichihara Osamu asked seriously with a straight face.

The man didn't dare to be vague, he fumbled and took out a piece from his arms.

Shuhei Ichihara squinted his eyes, and the object revealed by the other party was a corner of Konoha Ninja's forehead guard.

"This is something for adults. I saw Mr. Ninja coming out of that place." The man smiled, implying something, with awe and fear in his tone, but there was also a trace of eagerness to please.

In the current situation, Shuhei Ichihara thought about it for a while, probably because this person picked up the Konoha ninja forehead protection somewhere, and met him after wearing it, hoping to get some reward from him through this forehead protection, so.
"You follow me!" Shuhei Ichihara snapped, taking out Kunai from his ninja bag.

As soon as this man was drunk by Ichihara Shuhei, he, who had a ghost in his heart, was immediately frightened, startled, almost turned around and ran away, not daring to ask for anything.

But Ichihara Shuhei still pressed the latter's shoulder, and said coldly:

"Tell me, where did you find this forehead protection!"

This person secretly hated himself for being obsessed with money, and actually took the initiative to find the ninja, and now he just wants to escape quickly, and he will explain everything about where he picked up this forehead protection.

In this way, Shuhei Ichihara took the forehead guard before letting the man go.

Ichihara Shuhei also felt helpless seeing the man's panic-stricken look.

As long as there are a few coins in his pocket, he will not be like this.

He looked down at the forehead protector he had just obtained in his hand. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the forehead protector reflected a red glow.

The vortex leaf graphic on the forehead has been scratched and blurred, and there are various old and new scars. Obviously, the owner of this forehead has experienced a lot of battles.

But what caught Ichihara Shuhei's heart was that there was a familiar mark in the subtleties of this forehead guard.

That was the mark left on his forehead by his lost Makita Chunin Captain.

"Heh-huh, heh-huh"

The person let go by Ichihara Shuhei panted heavily, and after confirming that there was no ninja killer behind him, he slumped against the wall.

"This is too bad luck, I really ask for trouble," the man said in his heart.

Suddenly a shadow covered him.

"Yo, just now, what did that person take from you?"
