"You must be starving, don't worry, there is still a lot, come and drink some water first." As she said that, the woman took out a bamboo tube filled with fresh water from her bag.

"Wait! Yue... Master, please use mine." One of the men stared at Takatsuki Izumi and coldly handed over his bamboo tube.

Ling Yue smiled and waved her hands: "Su Mu, don't be so serious, be careful not to scare her."

Takatsuki Izumi glanced at the man indifferently, his heart moved, he picked up the bamboo tube in Suzuki's hand, and said in a calm tone, "Thank you, are you also ninjas?"

Shisui showed a kind smile: "The only people who dare to stay in such a place are ninjas."

Hearing this, Su Mu waved his wrist calmly, and quietly squeezed Ku Wu in his hand.

As if he didn't understand what he meant at all, Takatsuki Izumi ate a few big mouthfuls of food again, and said vaguely: "Thank you, you are good people, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long, long time."

"Seeing you reminds me of the Konoha ninjas I met last time. Like you, they will feel pity for us homeless wanderers."

"Unfortunately, the war was too cruel, and good people did not get good rewards. Not long after, I found their bodies in another corner of the forest."

"As a weak ordinary person, all I can do is bury them. If you die here, I will help you collect the corpses."

Hearing this, several people were not angry. Instead, they curled up their mouths and glanced at her with admiration. The kunai hidden in Sumu's hand was quietly put away again.

Zhisui stroked his forehead and asked, somewhat dumbfounded: "And then rely on the food left by the corpse to continue to live a life without a meal?"

As a former Konoha ninja, although he hated the dark Konoha higher-ups, he always had a good impression of the always kind Konoha ninjas.

After hearing what Takatsuki Izumi said, although he was wary, a good feeling inevitably arose in his heart.

There are many people who feel grateful when receiving favors from others, but very few can take action for it.

Especially in this war period, any simple repayment of gratitude will cause misunderstandings, and the risks taken are definitely not something that an ordinary person can bear.

For an ordinary person, being able to help the benefactor collect the corpse is already a great reward in Zhishui's eyes.

In the face of those who know how to repay their kindness, few people can feel bad for them, and Lingyue and his party are not among those who have justice in their hearts.

Takatsuki Izumi glared at Shisui dissatisfied: "Why, it looks ridiculous and embarrassing, doesn't it? As strong men, you must have never experienced the feeling of being hungry."

"This is the exclusive treatment for the weak. We are weak and worry about survival all the time, especially during this war."

"My home has been destroyed. All I can do is live according to my parents' will. Only by living can I do more things. So I don't care about that. I can only listen to my mother and live strong."

Lingyue praised: "Good understanding, but also very strong, I can see that you have suffered a lot."

Takatsuki Quan said calmly: "It's not that bitter, and I'm used to it."

Shisui smiled apologetically: "That's not what I meant. You are also a resident of the Land of Fire, right? Konoha Village is a village that values ​​life very much. Why didn't you choose to go to Konoha to temporarily escape the war?"

Takatsuki Quan's eyes moved and asked: "Are you a Konoha ninja? Don't you know that ordinary people need introductions and related procedures to settle in Konoha?"

"Besides, it's wartime now, and Konoha doesn't accept foreigners at all. Those of us who trespass without authorization will be treated as spies."

"However, if I have your recommendation, I........."

Before she could finish her words, Shisui waved his hand quickly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. We are not Konoha ninjas, nor are we ninjas from the Thirty-Three Kingdoms Alliance. We can't help you in this matter."

Although it had been expected that Suzutsuki and the others were not on both sides of the war, after hearing Shisui's words, Takatsuki Izumi felt a sense of joy in her heart. However, she still pretended to be slightly disappointed and sighed on the surface.

"It's nothing. Although it's a little hard and tiring, I feel that my current life is actually very good. I am free and unrestrained. If I really have to be tied to one place, I might feel uncomfortable."

As she spoke, she struggled to pull the bushes down and made a simple safe haven.

Then he slowly squatted down and half-hidden his petite body among the strands of grass. While enjoying the food, he said, "Thank you again for your gift. If I have the chance, I will repay you."

Seeing Takatsuki Izumi's weak and stubborn posture, Suzuki felt inexplicably soft in her heart and replied: "Although we can't let you go to Konoha, there is a place that can, at least let you A carefree life.”

Hearing her words, Shisui, Yuki, and Takatsuki Izumi all frowned and looked a little inexplicable.

A carefree life is simply uncontrollable good news for a vagrant, but Takatsuki Izumi is not a vagrant.

She still wants to return to the village, she still wants to participate in the war experience, she still wants to show her own value and learn more knowledge from the intermediary.

As such, rejection should be the only option.

But after showing off for so long, suddenly refusing on the issue where the personality is most inclined, is it a bit unreasonable, and will it attract the other party's attention again.

Although the other party does not look like a member of the Thirty-Three Kingdoms Alliance, there is no guarantee. Who knows what relationship they have with Konoha.

If he learns her identity one day, will he suddenly get into trouble? He used this to threaten or even kill her to vent his anger.

Even if these things don't happen, her pretense will inevitably arouse ill feelings once someone discovers it. No one can say what will happen then.

After pondering for a moment, Takatsuki Izumi suddenly found helplessly that although all the endings she could think of, none of them were good.

But at present, there seems to be no choice but to follow the other party.

After all, the road ahead was unclear, and she had no idea how long she would have to wander here.

I happened to meet a good person today, but after today, I might have to leave it to God again as to what to do with the food in the future.

In this situation, the choice seems obvious.

"Follow you! Is it okay? I can do nothing but do some simple housework. Can I really serve you, sister?"

Lingyue smiled: "Of course, everyone has their own areas of expertise, but they just haven't noticed it. Don't belittle yourself."

"Actually, you can survive alone in this kind of place with difficulty, which has fully proved your ability. As long as you cultivate well in the future, you may be a rare and good seedling."

Takatsuki Izumi asked doubtfully, "Nurture?"

Lingyue touched her head: "Don't you want to become a ninja?"

Takatsuki Izumi nodded without hesitation: "Of course I do."

"That's good. With your perseverance, you might become an outstanding strong man in the future. By the way, can you tell me how old you are this year?"

Hearing this, Takatsuki Izumi suppressed the shame in his heart, and reported an extremely embarrassing number: "I will be 15 years old in a few days."

Suzuyue once again praised: "You are fourteen years old. Sure enough, hard work is the best fuel for a person. Who would have thought that such a cute little sister could survive alone in a war-torn jungle."

Hearing her words, Shisui and Yuki looked at each other, holding back the admonishment they were about to say, and thinking about how to do it better at another time.

When I met a lonely girl in the wild, it was fine to choose to help her, but I actually planned to take her back.

Even if this child really seems to fit the mold of a homeless child caused by the war, it depends on the time.

This is on the way to the mission, and I have to sneak into Konoha in a while, which is already dangerous enough, but also bring a drag?

Should I say, is he worthy of being the good-hearted City Lord of Hope City?
