Chapter 3 : Different Eyes
Chapter 3 Different Eyes
---
Half an hour later, Tonari walked out of the public bathhouse under everyone's surprised gaze, with three red, intertwined handprints on his face.
Tonari ignored the envious looks from the men around him and gently touched his cheek with his right hand.
As time went by, the palm print had become slightly swollen.
"hiss--
What a beast!
You are using all your strength to hit such a small child. Don't you feel guilty? My little servant won't react!"
Tonari muttered to himself, his left hand blatantly holding a light yellow sachet, from which a distinct fragrance emanated.
Minty scent!
Having just walked out of a public bath in rough water, Tonari randomly found a clothing store and bought a set of clothes that looked quite ordinary but capable enough.
Pinning the sachet around his waist doesn't look out of place at all.
The whole person is completely different from before, as if he has been reborn.
Even if they were acquaintances, they probably wouldn't recognize Tonari, even though no one knew him in the first place.
There is no smell of soil on his body, and he even has a faint mint scent. At first glance, one might think he was a child from a wealthy family.
suck--
Taking a deep breath and sniffing the fragrance on his body, Tonari nodded with satisfaction, "This is it, the fragrance!"
As he spoke, he picked up the sachet, placed it next to his nose, and sniffed it gently.
"I just wonder what kind of beauty would wear such a sachet? She must be a very stunning beauty."
At the same time, in the public bathhouse that Tonari left, a very miserable scream like a pig being slaughtered was heard.
"ah!!!--
Who stole my sachet!!! Don't let me catch you!!!"
A woman wearing a light yellow dress, with fluffy long hair, and a body that is a bit like a ball.
Of course, it was the woman who magnified the sound many times, and the sound of slaughtering a pig spread throughout the bathhouse.
Hearing this voice, those who knew her, whether men or women, trembled subconsciously.
This is the most "fat and kind-hearted" person in their town, and also the tigress that everyone in their town fears, Dahuang!
As for her appearance, she is indeed quite stunning.
I just don't know why someone would steal her sachets...
...
As one of Konoha Root's spies in the Land of Lightning, Tonari has a special channel for transmitting information.
Although these channels were not under his control and could not help him go to the Fire Nation, no one except his superiors knew about the existence of the Root's other base in the Lightning Nation.
But none of this matters, and there's no need to worry about it. All he needs to do is make good use of what he knows.
In order to avoid being tracked down by the Anbu of the Cloud Ninja Village, he made many preparations.
Washing off the smell on his body and changing into decent clothes was just one of his steps.
The Anbu of the Cloud Ninja Village will not give up tracking him down just like that.
Therefore, Tonari found them a target that was very suitable for their investigation——
One of the bases of Konoha Root in the Land of Lightning!
It is also the only stronghold location that Tonari can calculate through his own superiors.
Find them a suitable target and a corresponding enemy.
Then they would no longer have the energy to pay attention to a little kid like me, who was only seven or eight years old and had no chakra fluctuations.
Finish these preparations.
Tonari gave most of the remaining money out of the one thousand taels to a caravan traveling between the Fire Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom, and asked them to take him with them while trading.
Why didn't the owner of the caravan feel jealous after a little kid like Tonari took out a "huge sum of money" of several hundred taels?
That's because Tonari took out a forehead protector that represented the Cloud Ninja, which was also the forehead protector of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
In the Land of Lightning, the forehead protector of the Kumogakure ninja is something that ordinary people cannot touch or violate.
In order to avoid any further trouble, the caravan boss obviously would not do anything to Tonari.
This is also the reason why he deliberately found a caravan that looked timid and cowardly.
This kind of ninja forehead protector is not allowed to be privately manufactured in the ninja world, so there are only two types of people who own this kind of forehead protector.
Or he is a ninja himself.
Or you have killed a ninja before, this is a trophy.
No matter which one it is, it is not something that an ordinary errand caravan can afford to offend.
And even though we are now in the Second Ninja World War, as an ally of the Fire Nation, it is still relatively safe between the Lightning Nation and the Fire Nation.
Since you've paid enough, it's not a big deal to give him a ride.
The caravan boss even arranged a carriage specifically for Tonari.
Although the carriage was filled with goods, it also meant that Tonari had his own independent space.
In this day and age, these caravans traveling between the Fire Nation and the Thunder Nation are as numerous as the hairs on a cow crossing a river, especially after the Fire Nation and the Thunder Nation signed an alliance agreement.
Reselling opium to make a profit from the difference between the two sides was also one of the most popular businesses of the entire era.
Tonari sat alone in the carriage, playing with the mint-scented sachet in his hand, with an intoxicated look on his face.
Just as he left, a masked ninja from the Cloud Village appeared silently in the small town, following the footprints left by Tonari.
It has to be said that Tonari still underestimated the abilities of the ninjas, especially those Anbu ninjas who were good at tracking!
Following the intermittent footprints left by Tonari, the Anbu of the Cloud Ninja Village found the base of the Root in the town.
As a result, the stronghold was uprooted in just half an hour.
But it was also here that the trace of the Anbu's pursuit disappeared.
I don't know if it's because of this stronghold or if the owner of the footprints did it intentionally.
There was no choice but for the captain of the Anbu to leave immediately. He needed to report on Konoha's infiltration, and the impact of this matter was not small.
As for tracking the kid.
All we can do is wait for the psychic beast that is good at scent tracking.
And he finally investigated the town.
This kind of town on the edge of the country is a mixed bag of people.
It would have been fine if he hadn't investigated, but after a brief investigation, he discovered something that even made the captain of the Anbu slightly shocked.
All kinds of monsters and demons really appeared together!
...
As a child's body, even if there is a soul that is not quite the right age for it living inside, physical fatigue is still unavoidable.
I was forced to become the vessel of the tailed beast, walked all night, and took a terrible bath...
If it weren't for the extraordinary willpower of a field doctor and the constant threat of death, this body would have rested long ago.
While riding in the slightly shaking and bumpy carriage, Tonari could hardly hold on any longer and the fight between his eyelids became more and more intense.
Finally, as his will relaxed slightly, he closed his eyes.
Fell asleep...
His body curled up unconsciously in a corner of the carriage, as if this could make him feel a little safer.
The expression on his face became calm and his breathing gradually became even.
Without anyone noticing, strands of light blue energy began to move slowly through Tonari's meridians from his stomach, then began to flow throughout his body, and finally disappeared and hid in the cytoplasm of each cell in his body.
The fatigue of the body has been slightly relieved...
"Um—where is this?"
Tonari rubbed his eyes, opened them with difficulty, and found himself in an unknown place.
The light around him was very dim, and he could only barely see the scenery around him, as if he was standing on a piece of dry and cracked rocky land.
In front of him was a huge fence-like door made of some unknown material. In the middle of the door, there was a note with the word "Seal" written on it.
The shape, strokes, and even dots of ink of the word "封" are exactly the same as the ones on his belly.
Behind this door, Tonari could barely see a huge black shadow as big as a mountain.
At first glance, it looks like a huge burning volcano!
Tonari walked slowly to the gate.
Just by getting close, he could feel the obvious rise in temperature!
Teng——
As if sensing Tonari's approach, a gust of hot wind blew towards him.
Tonari was blown back three or four meters, and the air around him became increasingly hot.
Two lantern-like eyes suddenly opened!
When Tonari looked into those eyes, his body froze in place, with only one thought in his mind...
One blue, one yellow...
Is this... a Persian cat?
