Opening: Minato became my brother

However, Yue Le had no interest in the waitress's flirtatious behavior.

He handed the raincoat to her and took out a silver note of 1,000 taels from his pocket. He still had a faint smile on his face, but it was a little cold. He said to her, "Over there, a pot of sake and a few side dishes. The rest of the money is your tip."

Yue Le glanced at the woman who smiled instantly, then ignored her and walked straight towards the table.

"Okay sir, please wait a moment, I'll bring it to you right away!"

Not many people noticed this.

The guests of this izakaya are at least samurai or ninjas. Almost no ordinary people would come here, or it can be said that few ordinary people dare to take the risk to come here.

But this tavern itself is also very powerful. The security guards at the door are two warriors with fierce faces.

The Hidden Rain Village itself is one of the most powerful armed forces besides the five major ninja villages. In addition, it has the presence of Hanzo the Salamander, who is known as the demigod of the ninja world. Its influence is still quite large in the minds of ordinary samurai and ninjas.

Therefore, few people dare to take the risk of causing trouble here.

The owner of the izakaya was a middle-aged man with a big belly, who was sitting leisurely on the second floor. Two young and beautiful women were leaning on him, feeding him fruits and sipping shochu from time to time.

Sitting on the second floor, he looked down at the downstairs with a haughty attitude, narrowed his eyes slightly, and cast his gaze towards the bustling hall.

At this moment, the drinkers were enjoying the wine and food, bragging and farting, and they were having a great time. Seeing this scene, he showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

The reason why he was able to open this relatively high-end izakaya in such a prosperous area was because his sister was the concubine of a high-ranking official in the Hidden Rain Village.

However, in exchange, he had to hand over 40% of the profits to his boss every month, which made him feel a little sad.

This is all the hard-earned money he earned through hard work!

"Come~~~ Sir, rinse your mouth..."

At one side, a woman in revealing clothing was holding a small cup filled with high mountain milk produced in the Land of Thunder.

"Hey, hey, the little beauty is so good..."

The man raised his head slightly, revealing an obscene smile, and his hands became restless, making the woman next to him blush, but she did not dare to resist. She could only suppress the discomfort in her heart and forced herself to smile.

She can't lose this job...

Whether it's for yourself or your family...

As soon as Yue Le sat down, a waiter came to him with a plate of food and sake.

"My lord, please call me if you need your meal."

"Well, that's it for now."

Yue Le smiled at the waiter and filled her own glass of drink as if no one was around.

In this place where good and bad people mix together, ninjas and samurai are in danger of losing their lives at any time, constantly on the brink of life and death.

It becomes crucial for them to find a way to entertain themselves and gain spiritual comfort.

For most men, alcohol, cigarettes, women...are often the quickest way to pass the time...

At this moment, the spacious hall was crowded with people, most of whom were wandering samurai with no fixed place to live, unknown wandering ninjas, and a small number of rebellious ninjas among them.

No matter where you are, there are always very few traitorous ninjas. After all, each of them carries a high bounty. Unless someone has absolute confidence in his own strength, no one is willing to be such a good person and exchange his life for money...

Yue Le silently savored the wine in his glass, and decisively rejected the girls who tried to sell him special services. His slightly drunk face showed a trace of confusion, but his eyes remained alert, seemingly scanning the surroundings casually, but in fact he was listening to all directions and watching all directions.

At this time, thoughts shuttle through the noise, constantly filtering and analyzing useful information around.

The latest news about Shunsuke Kikuchi only mentioned that he has now fled to the Hidden Rain Village, and even Yue Le doesn't know whether he has escaped again.

However, it was obvious that Yue Le was worrying too much.

The reason why the Hidden Rain Village announced with such fanfare that it would accept the rebel ninjas into the village was simply because it wanted to take them in and contribute to the growth of the Hidden Rain Village...

Of course, it was not an open announcement of acceptance. After all, the Hidden Rain Village could not withstand the fists of the five big brothers. It was just a civilian organization within the Hidden Rain Village that accepted these rebellious ninjas.

You know, if someone dares to become a rebel ninja, how can he dare to betray the village without real ability?

As for the rebel ninjas, having a relatively stable place where they can trade materials is also a good thing for them. It's just a matter of each taking what they need.

As for the black market... that's really a conscience-breaking thing...

However, after a while, when most of the wine was gone, all I could hear was some boasting and idle chatter, from which I could barely extract some useful information.

So, after asking the waiter to add another pot of wine, finally, perhaps because Kikuchi Shunsuke had just arrived in the Hidden Rain Village, he heard someone mention the four words "Kikuchi Shunsuke".

Yue Le's eyes flickered and he looked in the direction of the sound without being noticed, only to see two Rain Ninjas sitting there.

One of the Rain Ninjas slammed the table viciously, then suddenly picked up a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth. His movements were very large, but his voice was deliberately lowered: "That Konoha rebel named Kikuchi Shunsuke really deserves to die."

Another Rain Ninja said in a disappointed tone: "There is nothing we can do. He does have the ability, and the one above also values ​​him..."

"Even so, that bastard actually raped a young girl in the street. Are we just going to let it go like that?" The rain ninja who was banging the table spoke lower and lower in voice, his face full of hatred and anger, his teeth clenched as if he wanted to break them.

He did not have much opinion on the incident itself. What made him angry was that the person was not him, but a person from another village, and he committed a crime in the street, which was a serious provocation to them!

"So what?" another person responded helplessly.

"Fuck! Damn it! I really want to beat him to pieces! This bastard is a bastard!"

Yue Le listened to the conversation between the two quietly and silently turned his gaze away from them. His eyes were cold and sharp. He knew very well that he needed to collect more information.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two Rain Ninjas finally stood up to pay the bill and leave. No one noticed that a small dark gray snake was quietly following them at this moment, its pupils flashing with strange light.

Yue Le did not get up in a hurry, but continued to slowly savor the wine, as if time had stopped at this moment.

After a short pause, he slowly raised his hand and poured the last sip of sake deep into his throat. Then, he slowly stood up and turned to leave the wine shop.

At this moment, his steps were a little staggering, and his body was shaking slightly, like a drunkard, walking towards the door with staggering steps.

In this world, people usually ignore a drunk unless the drunk appears to be very rich.

However, it was clear that Yue Le's image could not arouse others' interest in taking risks. He staggered out of the izakaya, as if he had lost his goal and sense of direction, and began to wander the streets of Yuyin Village.

Raindrops kept falling from the sky, dripping on his raincoat, splashing water, and then quickly merged into the puddles on the ground.

The streets were deserted at this time, looking particularly deserted. The sky was gray, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, not allowing a single ray of light to penetrate.

A layer of mist rose from the ground, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the whole village. Although Yue Le seemed to be wandering aimlessly, he was still heading towards the two rain ninjas he had met before.

As the night deepened, apart from a few people on the streets, there were patrol teams moving around. They watched their surroundings vigilantly and maintained the peace of the Hidden Rain Village.

Feeling that the two Rain Ninjas had stopped at a place, Yue Le's eyes lit up slightly and a smile appeared on his face under the raincoat.

......

In a steaming and smoky hot spring bathhouse, there is a hidden and quiet hot spring pool.

The two Rain Ninjas were lazily leaning on the edge of the bath, enjoying the rare leisure time. They had taken turns to have a day off these two days, so they were so relaxed and contented.

"Kawaya, I got a box of facial lotion from the caravan from the Water Country. I'll give it to you to try tomorrow." One of the Rain Ninjas said casually.

"Huh? Facial lotion? I'm warning you, don't think about my sister!" The man named Kawaya immediately became alert and stared at the other party sharply.

"Mom... I don't mean anything else, I just think this is very useful, hehe, don't take it too seriously..." Another Rain Ninja tried to explain, but his tone sounded a little guilty.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let me make it clear to you, if you dare to have any improper thoughts about my sister, don't blame me for being rude!" Kawaya's voice rose an octave, splashing water at the same time, and it was obvious that he was a little angry.

"Hahaha, don't be so excited, brother-in-law..." The Rain Ninja laughed and tried to ease the atmosphere.

"******!" Chuan Ye's eyes were wide open with anger, and he did not back down.

However, just as they were arguing, a figure quietly sneaked in from outside the bathing area.

Yue Le narrowed her eyes slightly, approached cautiously, and looked at the two people who were completely immersed in relaxation. The corners of her mouth gradually rose, outlining a barely noticeable smile.

......

Yue Le quickly formed seals with his hands, and an illusion instantly wrapped the two Rain Ninjas tightly, and in a trance they stepped into the illusion.

These two Rain Ninjas are just ordinary Chunins. The ninjutsu they inherited are incomplete, so how can they possibly resist Yue Le?

.........

Ten minutes later, Yue Le's face looked a little strange and he quietly left the bathhouse.

He did not choose to kill these two people. After all, this was the Hidden Rain Village. If he rashly killed people, it would definitely bring great risks, which would not be of any benefit to completing the mission.

But...at this moment Yue Le just wanted to get away from these two people as soon as possible. The relationship between these two people gave him goose bumps all over his body.

Kamirakawa is a Chunin in the Hidden Rain Village and has a younger sister.

Koito Akira is also a Chunin from the Hidden Rain Village, and both his parents are still alive.

Unfortunately, due to some traumas in his childhood, Koito Akira's sexual orientation has changed a bit.

When he first met Kamirakawa, he fell hopelessly in love with her.

However, Shangliangchuan is a typical sister-con. He has no intention of getting married and having children. All he thinks about is how to find a good home for his sister so that she can live a happy life.

As for her sister, she didn't really notice Koito Akira's feelings for her. On the contrary, this man seemed to be particularly attentive to her brother.

Every day, Xiao Ido Akira can only send out the gifts he wants to give to Ryukawa Ye under the pretext of sending gifts to Ryukawa Ye's sister...

A licking dog...tsk tsk tsk...

He sighed twice, thinking that the world is full of wonders, and walked towards the direction of the psychic snake that remained on the black cat.

........

In a not-so-luxurious hotel, Yue Le shared the sorted information with everyone.

Although this information is not detailed and comprehensive enough, Shunsuke Kikuchi is, after all, an elite jonin who defected from Konoha Village, and he still has a certain influence in a place like the Hidden Rain Village.

Hanzo Salamander did not directly recruit these rebellious ninjas on a large scale from the official level of the Hidden Rain Village. Instead, he cleverly mixed all the rebellious ninjas with wandering ninjas and issued missions through a civilian organization under the Hidden Rain Village.

Everyone knows this very well, but in many cases, people often only need such a seemingly reasonable reason and title.

Otherwise, what does it mean for a small village like yours to openly accept the rebel ninja from our village? Little brother?

Even if there is a salamander half hidden in it, it can't hold it...

According to the intelligence obtained, Shunsuke Kikuchi is currently following this civilian organization to investigate a mercenary organization called "Akatsuki" that has rapidly risen in the Rain Country.

This mysterious force not only actively recruits peace-loving ninjas in the Rain Country, but also shows its kindness, helps the poor, and distributes money, food, and supplies...

It is precisely for this reason that they won the love and support of many ordinary people in a very short period of time and gradually accumulated a certain degree of power.

However, this is exactly jumping on Hanzo's red line.

As the official power of the Rain Country, he does not have enough energy and confidence to help civilians and distribute money and food. What do you, a non-governmental organization, want to do by doing this? It may not be aimed at replacing the Hidden Rain Village?

There are some things that the government can do, but that doesn't mean that non-governmental organizations are qualified to do them, not to mention that you are a group of mercenaries who are paid to do the job.

By doing this, are you trying to declare your righteousness to the world?
