Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 36 Returning to the Village
The country of soup is located in the south of the country of thunder, the east of the country of fire (although there is a country of iron in the middle), and the north of the country of water.

Although it is located on the sea, the land area is not large, but due to its geographical location, it has become a necessary port for maritime trade along the way. It can be said that it is a country with extremely prosperous commerce.

And more importantly, due to geological reasons, the hot springs here are a major feature, coupled with casinos, and custom tourists. It also attracts many mainland tourists.

For example, Zilaiye.

Zhou Lai, who had just walked out of the hot spring shop, froze in place for a moment, and Xi Yan, who was following behind, bumped into Zhou Lai's back.

"what happened?"

Xiyan's doubtful voice came from behind, and then she walked to Zhou Lai's side, and also froze in place.

"Master Jiraiya?!"

Ji Lai, who was drunk with his arms around the three girls in kimonos, also froze for a while.

Then slowly raised his head to look at Xiyan, then looked at a woman in his arms foolishly and asked

"Is someone calling me?"

The woman in her arms hastily pointed at Zhou Lai and the others, but when Zi Lai also went to look again, the two people on the opposite side had disappeared.

Zhou Lai had already left the place with Xi Yan when Zi Lai also turned his head, and it was purely an accident that he met Zi Lai Ye.

Moreover, in order to avoid the pursuit of Wu Ninja, they are not in the identity of the original appearance, although the original appearance does not necessarily know each other.
"Why did Master Jiraiya come to such a place?"

Xi Yan looked at Zhou Lai with a puzzled expression, not understanding it.

"Man"

"Huh?" Suddenly Xi Yan looked at him suspiciously.

"Well, I have you, how could I come to this kind of place!" Zhou Lai's desire to survive was activated instantly.

Xiyan curled her lips in disdain, but didn't say anything else.

They have been in Tango Country for several days. They go to the hot springs every day, and they come out to eat some local specialties at night, creating an atmosphere of tourism and vacation.

On the contrary, a lot of Mist Ninjas have come to the island in the past two days, obviously following Zhou Lai's follow-up troops, but according to Zhou Lai's observation, there are not many Mist Ninjas parked on the island, and most of them secretly went to the direction of the Land of Thunder.

Apparently, Xiyan's trick of asking Zhou Lai to hide his eyes played a certain role.

But over time, the longer they stay on the island, the more uncertain the risk will be,
So at night, Zhou Lai quietly told Jiraiya some information in the form of a psychic beast, and the next day he took Xi Yan to the pier to the Iron Country.

"Second cabin NO.18, where's yours?"

Xiyan stuck her small head in front of Zhou Lai, about to pick up the ticket in his hand.

"I won't tell you." Zhou Lai hurriedly dodged, held up the ferry ticket in his hand, and looked at Xiyan opposite him with a smile on his face.

But Xi Yan put her hands on her chest and propped her chin, and looked at Zhou Lai with strange eyes.

When Zhou Lai was not paying attention, he ran behind him in an instant, and kept scratching his waist with his hands.

"Ahaha, ahahaha! I was wrong, I was wrong, stop scratching, ahaha, I was wrong!"

Zhou Lai hurriedly begged for mercy, and put the ticket in Xiyan's hand, but Xiyan didn't care about the ticket at this time!

"Whoo~"

Zhou Lai sat on a chair in the waiting room, and looked at Xi Yan who was holding his arm next to him with relief.

"Little fairy!"

"Cut," Xiyan curled her lips and didn't bother to refute anything.

There was still some time before the ship sailed, so Zhou Lai and Xi Yan walked around to look at the coastal scenery.

But when Zhou Lai walked to a place where there were few people, Xi Yan suddenly grabbed Zhou Lai's arm and squeezed it, and looked at a middle-aged woman walking opposite.

Under Zhou Lai's staring gaze, the woman also looked up at Zhou Lai, looking at each other,

The other party suddenly gave Zhou Laiyi a very cold feeling, like a ghostly fire burning in hell.

Ding,
The Tailed Beast mission is on!
Task: Collect the Tailed Beast-Traveling Inner Chakra. (no time limit)
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Zhou Lai's mind.

puff!Zhou Lai staggered suddenly.Looking ahead in disbelief.

"Silly fox, I heard right!"

"I'm not stupid, doesn't that make it clear!"

"Isn't this embarrassing me? Let's not say who I can beat! Forget about the tailed beast. The fourth battle in the later stage was just to fight for the tailed beast. The ones who joined the group were cheating!"

"I didn't ask you to grab it now! Why are you panicking!"

"."

"What's the matter?" Xi Yan hurriedly supported Zhou Lai and asked with eager eyes.

"It's all right! It's just that I lost my mind and fell."

Seeing that he was really fine, Xiyan let go of the arm that supported him, turned her head to look at the middle-aged woman who was walking away, and frowned slightly.

"She gives me a very dangerous feeling, Chakra is very cold!"

"She's Ninao Jinchuriki of Kumo Shinobi." Zhou Lai took Xi Yan's little hand and walked towards the direction of the boat.What happened just now made him lose interest in playing for a moment.

"Two-tailed Jinchuriki!" Xi Yan looked at Zhou Lai in surprise, "Why is she here!"

Zhou Lai shook his head.

"Should we follow up and see, it is obviously an important mission for Kamo Shinobi to send Jinchuriki."

Zhou Lai shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"The perceptual ability of tailed beasts is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the intuition of the two-tailed cat monster is even more acute. The risk for us is very high, and it is unnecessary.

And she's here to help us get some Mistnin's attention too. "Thinking of this, Zhou Lai laughed unkindly.

Xi Yan nodded, agreeing with Zhou Lai's statement.

Not long after, they rushed back to where the boat was, but when the boat left, several black figures rushed back from Zhou Lai's direction.

In the next few days, Wu Ninja received news from the folks that Erwei was in Tango Country.

At this time, Zhou Lai and the others had arrived at the Iron Country smoothly.

After getting off the boat and having a good night's rest, the two of them headed straight to the Fire Country without stopping at all.

Clang!
Zhou Lai raised his sword and beheaded the leaders of a group of bandits in front of him.

"You wait for us, kill my boss, we will definitely come back!" After finishing speaking, the leading scarred man was pinned by Xi Yan to the trunk behind him with a kunai.The surrounding companions dispersed in an instant.

This is already the third batch of wandering ninjas the two met on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron.

They usually consist of several village defectors who defected to the Shangren or Chunin and gathered a group of ordinary warriors, occupying the mountains as kings and robbing the passing merchants.

Zhou Lai had done a lot of tasks like this to clean up cancerous tumors in the Anbu before, but this kind of thing was like weeds in the field, and soon after one batch was mowed, another batch would emerge.Of course, this has also become a fixed entrustment task of Konoha, which happens every month.

Although it is the border of a big country, the security of the border is completely incomparable with that of Tang Country, which may be the result of the deliberate rectification of those local merchants.

"It's annoying me to death!"

Zhou Lai drooped his head, tidied up the battle situation, his mouth was full of complaints, and his appearance was completely changed from the coldness during the previous battle. It formed a sharp contrast.
