Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 226 Princess of Bear Kingdom

"Crack~"

An almost silent door closing sound came from Zhou Lai's ear.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Lai appeared on the chair next to him.

He also planned to take a good rest tonight. Although there were a few young people who disturbed his rest time, it could be used as a small episode before going to bed and a small dessert before dinner as a pastime.

Who knew that they would run into the duo organized by Akatsuki, and there was also an extremely difficult Uchiha Itachi among them.

Just when Zhou Lai was about to stretch out and blow out the candles to sleep, a familiar sound of footsteps came from his ears, the footsteps were light, and the person who came was obviously a girl.

Boom!
Boom!
There was a knock on the door, and a slender figure appeared in front of Zhou Lai's door again.

"Is Lord Galewind back?"

A flash of understanding flashed in Zhou Lai's heart. Although Princess Ruoruo respected him very much before, she never called herself an adult.

Now this attitude is obviously just seeing the battle he just fought.

It took less than four hours from leaving the room to chase the three brothers, to meeting the duo of Pipa Shizang and Itachi,
Moreover, the battle between the two sides was not concealed and it was late at night, so Zhou Lai wasn't surprised at all when they saw their own battle.

"It's me, come in, Princess Ruoruo."

Zhou Lai stood up and opened the door, staring at the girl in a pink kimono who turned half her body sideways.

"No, no, I just came to see if Lord Haifeng is injured. This is the medicine I brought to the Lord to heal wounds."

Ruoruo is obviously a lot more cautious than before, but after knowing the opponent's tyrannical strength, it is obviously an emotion that a normal person should have.This is a kind of fear of the strong.

"Don't worry."

After understanding Ruoruo's intentions, Zhou Lai showed a very knowing smile, and he looked very delicate.It was in stark contrast to the murderous state of the previous battle.

"I'm not hurt."

Zhou Lai took two steps back to let Ruoruo see more clearly, and turned around to prove that he was not injured.

Ruoruo was also relieved to see that Zhou Lai was not injured.

"Master Hayate is really powerful. I have just seen the battle between the master and the enemy under their protection. This is the first time I have seen the battle between ninjas. You were at that time"

Staring at the dancing girl in front of him, Zhou Lai gradually frowned.But in order not to dampen her enthusiasm, Zhou Lai waited patiently until Ruoruo finished speaking.

"Are you near our battle?!"

Zhou Lai's expression was a little serious.

"It's right there."

Ruoruo pointed to the roof opposite the window.

"Who told you to go? The battle between ninjas can change positions at any time. The closer you get, the more dangerous it is!"

"I asked them to take me there myself."

Ruoruo is obviously also a little afraid of Zhou Lai's serious state, and his voice is submissive, getting lower and lower.

Zhou Lai also found that his expression was a bit too serious, and his face eased a little.

"Remember next time, and Princess Ruoruo, don't call me your lord, just call me Gale Wind."

"En" Ruoruo nodded.

"If there is nothing else, please go back to rest early, Princess Ruoruo."

"Oh, right!" Just as Ruoruo was about to turn around, she suddenly looked up at Zhou Lai.

A hint of doubt appeared on Zhou Lai's face.

"Is that man in black with the scar on his face a traitor from Wunin Village?" Ruoruo looked at Zhou Lai expectantly and asked.

Zhou Lai nodded.

"Is that called Loquat Shizang?" Ruoruo's eyes flashed a light.

Zhou Lai nodded again.But an idea that he ignored suddenly appeared in his mind.

"How did you know?"

"Wow! They took out the ninja handbook and pointed at that person. I still don't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true! Hayate is really a very powerful ninja, and the elite jōnin can easily defeat it."

Ruoruo looked at Zhou Lai with eyes full of admiration, as if he had seen such a star he admired.

But Zhou Lai felt an unattainable sadness from her eyes.Although it was very faint, and even Ruoruo himself didn't notice this emotion, Zhou Lai could see through the girl's mind at a glance.

"Rest early, we have to continue on our way tomorrow!"

"kindness!"

After closing the door, Zhou Lai came to the bed and sat down.

But there was no trouble at all.
Because a question popped into his mind,
Why did itachi and loquat ten possessions appear in the land of water?

According to the information sent by Yasha some time ago, Orochimaru has already left the Akatsuki organization.He is now partnering with Kakuzu.And the task they have to perform for a long time is to find Orochimaru and recover the ring in his hand.

And according to the last intelligence report, their target is likely to be near the country of water.

The Akatsuki organization is often formed by two people. Due to the level of strength, even in the stage of collecting tail beasts, there is rarely any group cooperation. Now there are two groups appearing in the same area at the same time.

Did something important happen, or was it really just such a coincidence?
……

The next day, the team started their journey. With the replenishment and rest in the town yesterday, everyone was more energetic, so the team's itinerary quickly left the area around the town.

Although Zhou Lai didn't have any skin trauma, the consumption of Chakra and pupil power in his body was extremely huge, and he still felt a headache when he woke up.

As for the figure and aura of Loquat Shizang and Itachi, Zhou Lai didn't notice it. Zhou Lai guessed that they should have left last night.

Ninjas have a habit when they are injured, that is, they will subconsciously avoid crowded places.

And according to the experience of the members of the Xiao organization all the year round, they will definitely not let people find their traces.

All the way to the east, the horse did not stop for three consecutive days.The team soon reached the coastal border of the Fire Nation.

On the other side of the vast sea is another big country in the ninja world. The country of water!
The sea area stretches for thousands of miles, with countless large and small islands floating in it.

And a peninsula protruding from the mainland to the sea is the area of ​​the Bear Country.

But entering the Bear Country is not over yet, Zhou Lai's mission is to send Princess Ruoruo back to the Daming Mansion in the Bear Country.

This distance is not a safe zone.

Although the territory of the Xiong Kingdom is small, internal disputes are quite a headache.When Zhou Lai first received the mission, he asked Qing Cheng to find out about the relationship within the Xiong Kingdom.
