The next town was a bit far away. Tsunade and Shizune thought about it. If they had just rested in the wild before, but with Qianshu and Dodo, it would be better to find a home.

When they got up, the two of them were very surprised by Qian Shu's physical fitness. He was not tired from the beginning to the end. They even asked questions excitedly and were very curious about everything.

The color gradually darkened, and there was a village not far away. She chose a house nearby, and Shizune walked up and knocked on the door gently.

The somewhat damaged door opened a crack, and a girl who looked older than Shizune looked out with timid eyes. She found two women and a child, and her expression became much more relaxed, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"We are traveling people. We want to stay at your place for one night. I don't know if it's convenient," said Shizune.

The girl seemed to be about to refuse. Seeing the cloak beside Shizune, she knew there was a child inside, "Please come in."

"Thank you." Everyone entered the room and looked around, and found that the room was a little too clean. To put it simply, the house was bare.

"If you don't mind, you can stay in my room." The girl introduced herself as Kiko, and she and her brother depended on each other.

"What about you?" Tsunade picked up the cup and took a sip of the water that Kiko had just boiled.

"I can just live in my brother's room." Kiko smiled.

Shizune took the kettle and poured another glass for Kiko, "Your brother is not at home."

"Thank you," Xizi thanked him softly, looking downcast, "Brother, he hasn't been back for a long time."

Tsunade and Shizune looked at each other and had a guess. Shizune said embarrassedly, "Sorry, we don't know."

Xiko waved her hands hurriedly, "It's not what you think." After her explanation, several people learned that the parents of Xiko and her brother Tian died due to the war a few years ago, leaving the two of them dependent on each other.

Kiko is good at crafts and does some handyman work sewing clothes. Her brother Tian sometimes helps in the village and sometimes goes hunting in the mountains. Life is not bad.

But at some point, Tian became obsessed with gambling. He won some at first, but Kiko persuaded him to stop.But Tian seemed to be possessed by a ghost and couldn't listen at all.

Gambling for a long time will lead to losing, and everything in the house has been taken away by debt collectors, but her brother is still in the casino and refuses to go home. Now half a month has passed, and Kiko is a girl and she doesn’t know where to find him.

The people in the village didn't want her to be a girl running around outside. If there were people around, they would help find people, and those with money would help.

"What's the point of gambling?" Tsunade snorted coldly.

"That's right, what's the point of gambling?" Shizune's cheeks were as bulging as a bun, and she agreed as if she was pointing out something.

Tsunade blushed and rubbed the head of Chishu who was smiling happily.

Kiko also had some home-grown vegetables and rice sent by her neighbors, and she made some for everyone. Although it was light, it had a unique flavor.

When tidying up, Shizune noticed that Kiko's arms looked like

There was a wound, so he rolled up his sleeves to reveal the cloth wrapped around the wound, with faint blood showing through.

Tsunade hurriedly looked away, her body trembling slightly.

"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama has hemophobia," Shizune explained softly between the two of them, "Let me help you treat it. I'm a medical ninja."

The simple wound healed quickly in the green light on Shizune's hand. Kiko put away the bloody cloth, kneeled down to Shizune, "Since you are a ninja, I want to entrust you with a task."

"Do you want us to help you find your brother?" Shizune had already guessed.

Kiko nodded.

Tsunade on the side recovered from the fear of blood, "A commission from a ninja is very expensive."

Kiko bit her lip, "No matter how much it is, as long as it can make my brother stop gambling, I can give it to you. I just hope you can wait a little longer."

"Forget it," Tsunade waved her hand, "No amount of money can hire me."

Xiko's face was ashen, "Yes"

"Just use Ming's breakfast as reward."

Raising her head in disbelief, Kiko couldn't believe her ears.

"Betting brings people fun, not misfortune." Tsunade pointed to the word "bet" on the back with her thumb, and Qian Shu couldn't help but froze at the high-spirited smile, "I will bring your brother back right away. "

At this moment, a ragged man ran into the house and shouted excitedly, "Sister, my brother has won money and is back."

Qian Shu gave Tsunade a thumbs up, that’s awesome.

Bring it back as soon as you bring it back, without delaying even a second.

This Tian looked familiar, as if he was the same person he saw when he left the casino before.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him angrily, her expression becoming serious.

As one of the three ninjas, I didn't hear this man's footsteps at all. What's going on?

Regardless of the guests at home, Tian grabbed his sister's hand and flushed with excitement, "My brother has won money and we will live in a big house right away, eat a lot of delicious food, and wear all kinds of beautiful clothes."

"Brother" Xizi shook off Tian's hand, "I don't want that money." Her eyes were red and tears were pouring out. Her voice was hoarse, "I just want to live a good life with you like before."

"Xiko" Tian was stunned, his face darkened by years of hard work losing all color.

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Kiko wiped away her tears and went to open the door while sobbing. A group of people were standing in front of the door carrying something in the dark.

"Xiko, see for yourself"

Not knowing why, Kiko lifted the cloth covering the thing, and there was a corpse underneath.

The body of her brother Tian
