Chapter 213: A Small Status in Konoha
Chapter 213: A Small Status in Konoha
Hoshino Kaede's words made several people look stern and nervous, especially Kakashi.
Having been beaten once, he knew very well what fried bamboo shoots with meat tasted like. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, with fear in his eyes.
Regardless of the expressions of the few people, Xingye Feng's place was in a state of stagnation, as if everything was silent.
Looking at the alert and nervous look in Fujiwara's eyes, Hoshino Kaede laughed and took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid of an unarmed person like me?"
Fujiwara stared at him deeply and said coldly.
"Unarmed? To a ninja, anything can be a weapon."
Upon hearing this, Xingye Feng nodded and did not refute it. Instead, he looked at him with appreciation.
"Good concentration, and very sharp."
What both of them said was very cryptic, as if they were deliberately hiding something from the people around them.
Fujiwara clenched his fists, and said gloomily, "You deliberately let us capture you. What do you want to do?"
The hostile eyes were fixed on Xingye Feng, as if he would take necessary measures if there was any movement.
Xingye Feng narrowed his eyes, glanced at the three people who were trying hard to gather intelligence, and said.
"I have no ill intentions. I just want to give my juniors some experience. Other than that, I have no other intentions."
"Experience?" Fujiwara followed his gaze, and then his heart sank, thinking to himself: "Trouble."
He used to be a ninja, so he naturally knew what a Hyoryang Maru looked like.
When he found out, he realized he had been cheated.
But in order not to anger Xingye Feng and thus end up in a situation where both sides are destroyed, he could only pretend not to know.
It wasn't until now that he had the chance to reveal his true colors, but he didn't expect things to develop beyond his imagination.
At the border of the Fire Nation, anyone who can bring four children out for training must be extremely powerful.
People who are seniors and guide juniors in training must be absolutely confident in their own abilities.
Xingye Feng pretended not to notice his gloomy eyes and said to himself: "I just took a look. This place is more like a refugee pile than a village."
"Those people should have fled here due to famine and war. They are probably not from the Fire Nation."
As soon as the words fell, Fujiwara's body trembled, as if something had hit the nail on the head, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.
But soon, Xingye Feng said again, looking at him with admiration: "In despair, the fickle nature of human beings is the most terrifying. I never doubt it."
"The good and stable law and order here is probably due to you. I can even see the hope on those people's faces."
At this point, Fujiwara trembled all over, his pupils suddenly shrank, his face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid, as if he was going to suffocate in the next moment.
"You...you..." His tongue seemed to be tied, and he stammered with an uncertain expression.
But those frightened eyes were soon suppressed and gradually replaced by fierce murderous intent.
His bulging muscles were tensed and his eyes were fixed on Xingye Feng, like an old jackal about to fight hard.
He knew that his chances of winning were slim, and he only saw calmness and indifference in Xingye Feng's eyes.
There was nothing else, just like watching a play, comfortable and natural, and he didn't seem to feel that any danger would befall him.
Faced with this undisguised murderous intent, Xingye Feng simply smiled indifferently, and the strong murderous intent seemed to be dispelled in an instant as if it encountered the warm sun.
"You have courage, but it's like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm!"
After saying that, Hoshino Kaede's brows suddenly sank, and his aura was like a mountain, pressing down on Fujiwara.
In an instant, Fujiwara's murderous intent was shattered and dissipated in the wind, leaving no trace, leaving only the word awe.
Fujiwara's legs couldn't help but go weak, and he supported himself on the ground with his hands. He felt like he had been pulled out of the water, and sweat was pouring down his face.
"Who...are you!" he asked in a trembling voice of fear.
Xingye Feng knew when to stop, and his earth-shaking momentum was suddenly restrained, as if he was using one's own arm.
Xingye Feng helped him up, brushed the dust off him, and said, "I am not your enemy. As I just said, I am only trying to train my juniors."
"As for me... I am just a person of minor status in Konoha, not worth mentioning."
Perhaps it was because he saw the strength that was like the bright moon and fireflies that Fujiwara calmed down and tried to calm his agitated emotions.
He took a few deep breaths, hesitated for a moment, thought of the people here, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you help us?"
Xingye Feng tilted his head, the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper: "How can I help..."
Fujiwara felt as if he heard the sound of nature. He hurriedly invited Hoshino Kaede to a place to discuss things, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the three of them were trying hard to get information and figure out the general situation here. Of course... everything was done to avoid being the last one.
The targets of the investigation were naturally the children in the village. After all, children were less wary, and the three of them could quickly become friends with them.
Yuma looked at Shisui with innocent eyes and called him "brother" sweetly, and immediately poured out all the words without control, like pouring beans.
This made Kakashi's mouth twitch wildly, and he thought to himself: "Shameless!"
But then he turned around and learned from others, and the effect was outstanding. It was really great!
Obito was about the same age as them, and with his simple and honest personality, he was like a fish in water and knew all the information like the back of his hand.
After a while, the few of them tacitly ended their intelligence gathering and returned to Yuya Seigen.
"How is it? Have you collected everything?" asked Miya Makoto with interest, his face full of curiosity.
He learned from the big-mouthed Obito what the consequences of being the last one were, and he immediately became interested.
The three of them looked at each other. Obito, being the oldest, spoke first, "When I asked for information, I found that their accents were different, somewhat different from those of the Fire Nation."
"The people here are not native to the Fire Nation."
Kakashi and Shisui nodded affirmatively upon hearing this, and it was obvious that they had also discovered it.
Then Kakashi said: "During the collection period, I found that their attitude towards us was unusually good, as if they treated us as the same kind."
When talking to other people, Kakashi was keenly aware of the patience in their words, and even saw the compassion in their eyes.
Hearing Kakashi's words, Shisui nodded his head like pounding garlic: "I also feel something is wrong. They don't seem to know that we were robbed."
The three little guys talked to each other, and in just a few moments, they understood the whole picture and situation of the village.
This amazed Miya Seien who was standing by. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed for some unknown reason.
I am a few years older than them, and I guess I am not even half as good as them.
After all, survival in Hell Valley is a problem, so how can one have the energy to undergo specialized training? It would be good enough if one could just survive.
