(Naruto) Me and my two tubas

The land of water, the island of carp.

The owner of the izakaya looked up at the sky outside the window. The sky was overcast with clouds, and water droplets fell in lines, forming a dense water curtain outside the window.

Carp Island is close to the main island of the Kingdom of Water, and has a superior geographical location. It is located on the main route. It was considered a prosperous area in the past. However, since the defeat of the Kingdom of Water in the Ninja World War, this area is based on waterways. The island becomes more and more desolate.

As the season enters winter, it rains continuously in the Kingdom of Water. From the dotted islands to the interior of the island nation protected by islands, the rain evenly visits every corner of the country.

"The two people at the table by the window are Konoha ninjas." The landlady approached the boss, lowered her voice, and said in horror, "Why are Konoha ninjas here..."

The boss was so surprised that he almost couldn't hold the bowl in his hand.

In the Ninja World War two years ago, the Kingdom of Water suffered a disastrous defeat, the Mizukage died in battle, and the Mist Ninja suffered heavy losses. As the defeated party, the Kingdom of Water had to apologize to the Kingdom of Fire for compensation.

Since then, the Kingdom of Water has spent huge sums of money to purchase various technologies from the Kingdom of Fire, and is now struggling to implement them in the country.

Of course, the village that was most affected was Kirigakure. After the war, there was another turmoil within the village. Of course, ordinary people had no way of knowing the details, but the owner of the izakaya knew a little bit about the inside story due to his extensive information channels. .

Due to the defeat and Mizukage's death in the battle, the Mist Ninja Village ranked at the bottom of the five major countries. Like the Suna Ninja Village, its employment reputation and priority in accepting tasks also plummeted.

This forced the ninjas in Kirigakure Village to start taking on tasks that were difficult and low-paying, and many of them had even reduced themselves to competing with Lang Ninja for tasks.

Today's Kirigakure Village lives up to its name. The entire village is shrouded in thick fog and deep in the mountains. Although the Kirigakure are much quieter while dormant, their methods have become more ruthless.

To say that the person the Mist Ninja Village hates the most is of course the Nidaime Hokage who killed their Mizukage, followed by the other ninjas of Konoha. There are very few Konoha ninjas in the land of water.

The Mist ninjas may fear and revere Naruto because of their great strength, but for ordinary Konoha ninjas... even if they die in the land of water for no reason, it is normal.

The boss asked his wife to take their little kid to the back kitchen to avoid showing up, while he used the poor disguise of cleaning the dishes to observe the Konoha ninjas by the window.

These are two young men who both look very ordinary. One has black hair and black eyes and a handsome face, while the other has silver hair and red eyes and is ordinary in appearance. They are both wearing thick coats that are no different from civilians - they are both from the Fire Country. Products from China are of high quality, low price, strong and durable.

These two people were very relaxed in both expressions and movements, and they looked quite gentle and approachable. If it weren't for the big white snake coiled around the silver-haired young man's arm, they wouldn't look like ninjas at all.

The boss's eyes slipped and fell on the waist of the black-haired young man. He still had a fanny pack buckled under his coat, and a Konoha forehead protector was clearly tied to the fanny pack...

Wear Konoha's forehead protector! No cover-ups! On the territory of the Kingdom of Water!

The boss took a breath and became doubly panicked.

If these two people met the fog ninja, a fight to the death would inevitably break out. He didn't care which ninja lived or died, but the surrounding buildings had no chance of surviving.

"...It's all Konoha's fault!"

A rough voice came from outside the door, and then several fog ninjas opened the door curtain and walked into the izakaya one after another.

boss:……

The boss let out a loud sob and dropped the plate in his hand in the sink.

One of the ninjas knocked on the table: "Hey, we want wine and fried tofu. Where's the beef skewers? You should have some, right?"

"Yes, yes, but the price of beef skewers has increased recently..." The boss agreed quickly and secretly looked at the window seat. It was fine not to look at it. The first look really scared the boss again.

Those two people had actually put away all the characteristics of Konoha. The big white snake was gone and the forehead protector was gone. At this time, they looked no different from ordinary travelers!

These two Konoha ninjas look pretty strong...

While the boss was busy with his work, he was thinking to himself - did these two people simply look down on ordinary people, or did they show those characteristics because they were sure that this izakaya was not dangerous? Are they pretending at this time that they are afraid of the Mist Ninja or do they not want to get into trouble?

"The prices of everything are increasing, including ninja tools, food...even beef skewers."

Unlike the boss who was nervous, the Mist Ninjas were relaxed. Some people complained while drinking: "Why can only products from the Land of Fire maintain low prices?"

This sentence was a good start, and Mist Ninja's companions started talking about it:

"Carp Island is quite rich in supplies. When I went to Hezhou last week, I couldn't even get pork. They only sold fish."

"Of course Konoha's products are low-priced, their factories are different from ours."

"Things wouldn't be so rare and expensive before... Inspections have become stricter, and there are taxes. Businessmen now like to go to the Country of Fire..."

"It's all the Fire Nation's fault! Damn Konoha Hidden Village!"

……

The mist ninjas began to curse each other. After the boss served the fried food, he secretly looked at the Konoha ninjas by the window - the two were not affected at all and still looked very relaxed.

Strong man.

"I heard that there are many large-scale tasks in Hezhou that require manpower. How about the remuneration?" Someone among the Mist Ninja asked, "...and Hezhou shouldn't be so poor. There are mountains and forests on the islands, so how can there be only fish?" "

The ninja who complained at the beginning said: "Hezhou Island is blocked. Not only the routes are prohibited, but the residents are also prohibited from going out. Our task is to clean up the insects on the periphery of the island. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive and the pay is low. There seem to be some in the middle of the mountains and forests. Plants that can cause hallucinations, there are pollen everywhere, they probably want to collect these...it makes white mist everywhere, and the village——"

The fog ninja suddenly came to his senses. He coughed and swallowed the remaining information that might involve the ninja village.

"Hey, boss, how many have you heard -" the complainer's companion looked at the boss behind the counter unkindly, "You opened the store here, most likely to spy on our Kirigakure's intelligence!"

"That's right! It's very covert to use ordinary people to spy on intelligence." Another Mist Ninja threw away the sign in his hand, "Hey, boss, what do you say?"

What else could the boss say? Of course he was able to open a store here with the permission of Kirigakure Village. Not far away is the stronghold of Kirigakure Village. Who here doesn't know his details?

The reason why these fog ninjas said this was because they wanted to waste their drinking money and bully him, an ordinary person who had no fighting ability.

"The store is definitely not a spy! The misunderstanding caused by several adults is all our fault. I will treat you to a drink to apologize." The boss quickly rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Besides, Master Gui Deng just came to our store to inspect a few months ago. …”

Kirigakure Village does not have as complete a management mechanism as Konoha Hidden Village, and the ninja masters will not respect the flat-headed boss's surname. Almost all vendors who want to do business have to find a backer, and the same is true for this boss.

Several Mist Ninjas looked at each other and decided to mercifully let the boss go in exchange for free food and drinks and the Ghostly Lantern Festival. They started talking and laughing.

"You have a good attitude towards admitting your mistakes."

"You know the current affairs very well. For Chen Chen's sake, I'll let you go."

"Hey, do you have anything delicious to order?"

……

Among all the bullies, there was someone who was really drunk. He put down his wine glass and said, "Ghost Lantern Moon - what kind of 'adult' is he? He was directly defeated by Uchiha's Kaguya on the battlefield." He didn’t even participate in the final battle, and Master Hai wanted to recommend him as the Mizukage—he’s just a useless person, why didn’t he die earlier!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Kirist ninjas immediately stopped talking, even the boss was stunned, and the izakaya fell into a dead silence for a while.

"Hey, is it true? Is the ghost lantern and the moon so miserable?"

In this silence, a strange male voice suddenly sounded.

"Of course... I can't use any ninjutsu. The chakra meridians were completely destroyed by thunder and fire. I can only rely on physical skills and psychic beasts..."

The drunk ninja raised his head and tried to find the person to talk to. He finally turned to the window: "...Who are you, an ordinary person? Are you also a ninja? Why haven't I seen you in the village?"

The white-haired young man sitting by the window smiled and showed his forehead protector: "Of course you haven't seen me before. I'm a Konoha ninja."

boss:……

The mist ninjas were immediately shocked. They had no idea that the people sitting by the window were from Konoha, and they clearly didn't notice any chakra!

"Is he a spy?!"

"Kill them—"

"Wait a minute, let's take a look at the water country's pass first!"

The boss fell to the ground in horror, while the mist ninjas in front of the counter had already jumped up and were ready to attack. Even the drunk ninja took out a knife and showed a mouth of shark-like teeth: "Is it hidden? Chakra? This is a technique I have never heard of. Humph, you only have so much ability. Konoha ninjas, how dare you—"

The black-haired young man by the window who was looking up at the rain suddenly moved. He turned his head and glanced at the group of fog ninjas. Then the next moment, all the fog ninjas were stunned in place, their eyes were straight and they were in a trance. Completely losing combat effectiveness.

"Okay, this makes me more obedient."

The silver-haired young man stood up with a smile. He stretched out his hand to beckon, and a huge white snake suddenly appeared on him. He touched the dark snout of the big snake: "I am very interested in the information about 'Hezhou'. Please tell me in detail."

The mist ninjas had become the puppets of the genjutsu, and they scrambled to report information without any hindrance, just like pouring beans.

According to them, the anomaly on Hezhou Island was discovered in early summer this year. The island is filled with powder that can cause hallucinations. There are even chakra techniques that can blind vision and induction deep in the mountains and forests. Mist Ninja Village They took this very seriously, sealing off the entire island and issuing a strange mission to clean up the insects.

After the Mist Ninja emptied all the information, the boss finally got up from behind the counter. He knew that he was in danger. Even if he didn't die here, their family would have no way to survive.

These two Konoha ninjas were so powerful that they knocked down all the Mist ninjas with just one move, and they made such a noise without attracting the attention of the other Mist ninjas.

"Boss." The silver-haired ninja suddenly stopped him, "Give us a message... Just give it to Ghost Lantern Huanyue."

The boss shook his head and said with a look of mourning: "Yes!"

"Don't be afraid. As far as I know, Gui Lan Huanyue is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately..."

The silver-haired young man smiled and took out a scroll: "Give him this and tell him that the scroll can clean up the remaining blue flames in the meridians, and can also protect the damaged meridians. Maybe it can help him recover."

The boss shook even more and reluctantly took the scroll.

The young man thought for a while and added: "There is also the most important sentence, 'Please focus on guarding the Mist Ninja Village against the Kumo Ninja, and please leave the Nanao to Konoha.' If you sign..."

"Your Majesty, Senju Xing."
