More and more nearby residents gathered outside the circle, but few dared to step forward to claim their so-called 'property'.
After all, the name of the evil Uchiha, the arrogant and rough behavior of the young man, and Fushima Se who revealed his identity all made these ordinary residents feel fear and even hostility.
The money that has been squeezed out of 1 can be treated as buying peace. How dare you go so far as to put the money that has been handed over back into your pocket?
What's more, even if you can really get the money, what will happen?
Can the young ninja in front of me stay here for a long time?
Will the expelled gangsters be willing to do so? If there is no other back-up, wouldn't they hire ninjas from other forces to fight back?
Go get it now, lest those villains come back and be the first to be retaliated against!
For a time, they were so worried that they never dared to take another step forward.
The whispers everywhere were all about the bad rumors about the Uchiha clan and the information dealer with a gray past.
"I'm sorry, my lord."
Fukumaze bowed and apologized to the young man in front of him. He clearly knew that a considerable part of the reason why the residents of Yu Country showed distrust and hostility was because of himself.
As for the little finger that was cut off by the knife, he didn't seem to care much. He simply wrapped it with a piece of messy cloth at the four corners, and the blood seeping from the wound had already soaked the half of the cloth. Dark red.
Huang didn't pay attention to such an apology, nor did he drive him away. He just casually sat down on a bench nearby and said to the crowd of onlookers calmly:
"Again, anyone who has been exploited and blackmailed by those villains can come and take away the lost parts."
"But those who want to fish in troubled waters have learned from the past."
"It's valid for three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to the comments from the outside world, slowly lowered his eyes, and began to practice meditation.
After all, in the final analysis, he owes nothing to the ordinary people living in Tang Country, and there is no need to deliberately please these residents. Everything is done according to one's own wishes, and he just needs to have a clear conscience.
As for the image of himself and his family behind him.
Just as he had thought before, could the situation be worse than the one he received in Konoha?
"Tsunade-sama, do you think he wants it?"
Looking at the boy who was surrounded by rumors, Shizune's cheeks showed a trace of worry as she hugged the pink piggy.
According to the established plan, they were going to continue their journey to the next town after waking up from a hangover. As for the Uchiha boy with whom they had just met, the master and servant had no intention of further contact.
No matter what the other party does, it has nothing to do with them.
However, when it was still dark that day, the entire hot spring hotel was attacked by an outside Konoha ninja who swept away the entire Yuno Country's black industry overnight and was pouring out the righteous wealth that those villains had collected over the years. Such news Completely filled.
Tsunade and Shizune, who were awakened by such comments, had no choice but to use the chakra energy in their bodies to dissipate the remaining alcohol. At the same time, with their eyes facing each other in silence, they still arrived at the edge of the scene by accident.
Naturally, I also witnessed the strong posture of the young man, and the remorseless attitude of the intelligence dealer who looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks last night, decisively cutting off one of his little fingers.
This is definitely not a visual effect controlled by the Sharingan using illusion, but it truly comes from the heart.
Both Tsunade and Shizune are sure of this.
But what kind of night and what kind of experience turned him from a snobbish intelligence businessman to such a loyal dog?
"Who knows."
In order to avoid suspicion, she still looked like the little blond girl with a high ponytail at this moment.
It's just that the sweet and bright look on his face has disappeared, replaced by a slightly stern face.
This approach, coupled with the ruthless tactics of expelling the entire Tang Country underground forces overnight, obviously made him vaguely guess something.
However, Tsunade had no intention of continuing to pursue the situation, and naturally she had no intention of reporting everything that happened here to Konoha and informing the old man.
This is of course not an attempt to repay last night's kindness, but he really doesn't want to have anything to do with Konoha anymore.
Besides, such a thing does not require its own transmission.
The eyes and ears of those old guys will definitely present what happened in Tang Country to them completely. The only difference is the time.
"gone."
After taking another deep look at the boy who didn't make any aggressive moves, the blond girl looked back.
She had no intention of continuing to watch, and she had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to act cute and continue to make money.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
Shizune naturally had no reason to refuse the former's request and order, but just when the master and servant turned around to leave, a commotion suddenly broke out among the crowd surrounding them.
"Xiaoling, don't go there!"
"That guy is not that easy to deal with. Regarding your mother's matter, we will all help find a solution."
"Yes, Xiaoling, didn't you see what happened to that person just now? Didn't you see that the man standing next to that person was also a villain?"
However, such impassioned and angry remarks did not seem to be able to prevent the development of subsequent events.
I saw a little girl about the same age as Tsunade-hime after her transformation emerged from the crowd.
"Thank you, uncles and aunties, but, but mother can't wait any longer."
"Xiaoling, I don't want to lose my mother."
After saying that, the little girl bowed slightly to the crowd behind her, then pursed her thin lips and clasped her little hands and walked towards the young man in sight.
After her footsteps settled, she raised her little face that was a little white but very clean and said softly:
"Brother, I don't need money. If possible, can you take me to Konoha?"
"My mother is seriously ill, and even the doctors here can't treat her. I heard from the adults that there are very powerful medical ninjas in Konoha, including the legendary Lady Tsunade."
"I thought, I wanted to ask them to save my mother."
The little guy's voice gradually changed from timidity at the beginning to panic and fear. His somewhat hollow and numb pupils also turned reddish, and something crystal clear began to fill them.
Huang didn't respond immediately, his terrifying scarlet pupils just looked at the little girl in front of him with indifference, as if he wanted to peek into her inner being.
However, he didn't find anything wrong with her cheeks.
"Even if I take you to Konoha, the medical ninjas there still need money to treat illnesses, and they are not a charity."
The young man responded with a cold expression, not feeling any pity for the other party just because he showed pity.
Because there are so many things that he wants to protect, and he cares about so many things. Feeling pity casually and showing his heart will only allow potential enemies to grasp the weaknesses in his character.
What's more, besides dispersing this inconsequential ill-gotten gain and gaining some possible public support, he is sitting here openly and openly, and there is a more important reason:
After all, how could it be possible that Yuno Country, a country with a long coastline and rich resources, was only planning and monitoring the country?
At least, the old fox hiding under the giant tree will never let it go easily.
"I, I have money."
Hearing this, Xiaoling immediately raised her sleeves to wipe the corners of her eyes where the pearl was about to fall. She touched her pocket and carefully pulled out a squarely folded handkerchief.
The handkerchief was embroidered with a sunflower blooming toward the sun. It was a little faded overall, but it was as clean as a girl's face.
After he couldn't wait to unfold the piece of cloth, he could get a glimpse of the things stored in it. They were all broken bills of small denominations and some scattered coins. Gu Yu
At a glance, these sums of money may not add up to as much as a single banknote with the highest denomination.
"This is the pocket money I have saved, and I can give it to you. I just ask my eldest brother to take me to Konoha."
Xiaoling held the cloth in her hands with both hands, and tried her best to put on a clean smile on her face.
Because my mother said that as long as she shows a sincere smile, even the gods in the sky will not refuse her request.
[It’s just mom, such a smile has no effect on the big brother in front of me. 】
"This is not enough."
Huang's voice was still cold,
The scarlet color filling his pupils has not faded at all.
Sitting on the bench, he seemed to be too high to touch the king.
It was just a momentary whim that led to communication with others.
"Let me just say, that guy is the same bastard as those villains! Our pity and our prayers are just his sideshows."
"Come back, Xiaoling, let's think of other ways without asking him!"
The crowd suddenly roared with indignation,
I don’t know if it’s a neighbor who really cares about the girl, or some outsider with ulterior motives.
Hearing the sound, the little guy just bit his lower lip silently and did not retreat as he was told. Instead, after experiencing a few ups and downs in his chest, he raised his cheeks again and worked hard again to squeeze out his lips like a sunflower. smile.
"Xiaoling, I don't want to lose my mother, she is the one who loves me the most."
She said softly, and the pearls that had been wiped off quietly slipped from the corners of her eyes. Her hands still maintained the posture of holding up the cloth, and calluses could be seen on the slender fingers.
"Please, big brother."
"I didn't say enough. I was referring to the cost of hiring Konoha's medical ninja."
There was finally a hint of softness in Huang's cold voice.
"It's okay, I can work, I can make money."
"I can do laundry, cooking, and flower arranging!"
"I will try to pay off the remaining money."
At this moment, the little guy was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. His eyes were full of hope, and even his voice became urgent.
She was afraid that the young man in front of her would reject her request, and then she would really have no hope.
"this world........."
[There is no credit. 】
[Even if it happens occasionally, it is still related to one's own strength and background. 】
However, Huang did not continue to say such words after all, but asked instead: "Can't the doctors of Tang Zhiguo cure your mother's disease?"
Hearing such a question, the girl's eyes instantly showed a hint of disappointment, but at such a young age, she still understood the meaning of the refusal.
However, he still answered according to his words:
"Well, because my mother's condition was cursed by a bad guy with a triangle pattern tattooed on the back of her hand, the doctor uncle here said that only by going to a great ninja village like Konoha and asking for help from a medical ninja can it be completely solved."
【curse? 】
[Triangle pattern? 】
[Evil God Cult? 】
That sect is actually still hiding in a corner of this country?
Huang's eyes slightly glowed with sadness,
I thought that those guys were not cleared yesterday because the believers who served the evil god had left the city. Unexpectedly, they were still active.
"When it comes to curses, Konoha's medical ninjas can't do anything about it."
His thoughts strayed and he spoke in simple words.
This is a fact,
That curse ability is very similar to the curse seal developed by Orochimaru. There is only one way to completely solve it, and that is to get rid of the caster.
All ordinary medical ninjas can do is to reduce the pain felt by the person being cast, while more advanced medical ninjas can use some sealing techniques to temporarily seal the curse and prevent it from happening, that's all.
Even if Tsunade-senpai faced a curse, she couldn't 100% guarantee that it would be cured.
Those adults said that Konoha's medical ninjas could treat people. Firstly, they didn't understand this aspect; secondly, they understood but couldn't bear to watch the little girl sink, so they built up a belief in it.
After hearing such a message, Xiaoling's body trembled instantly, and the cloth she held in her hands quietly fell to the ground. The various denominations were scattered on the floor, and the smile forced out of her clean little face slowly became stagnant and dimmed.
"You, leave me!!"
"Take these stolen money and leave as soon as possible! You are not welcome here!!"
Seeing such a scene and hearing that the hopes everyone had built were shattered, the crowd suddenly erupted in turbulent expulsions.
[Uchiha, it turns out this is Uchiha! 】
[An evil clan without any sympathy or humanity, they only know how to kill! 】
Hearing the hostility here, Huang's face still showed no emotion at all.
Fushima Se took a step forward, covering his left hand that was still dripping with blood, and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out. All he did was to block the rumors from the Lord he was sworn to serve.
But when everyone saw the information dealer with a bad reputation, the rumors of rejection gradually began to be mixed with curses.
I still don’t know if this is what the people want, or if someone is deliberately stirring up trouble.
During this time, Huang didn't respond. He just bent down to pick up the coins that fell to the ground one by one, and put them back into the little girl's hand.
"Yes, sorry."
Tears rolled in the little guy's eyes, and his small voice was like a mosquito.
I don't know if it was because the other person helped me pick up the coins, or because of something else.
Yet in response:
"Although I am not a medical ninja, if I just want to lift the curse, I have my own method."
"So, you want to hire me?"
As he spoke, the young man picked out a coin with the smallest face value from the cloth, held it in front of him and shook it slightly. The meaning was very clear that this was the employment fee.
Hearing this, a hint of unbelievable hope quietly emerged on Xiaoling's gray face.
"Yes, please."
"Big brother."
