The country of pools, port city.

This is the political and cultural center of the Country of Chi, and the residence of the noble group of the Country of Chi, headed by the daimyo family.

Since it is a national capital and a port city, the business travelers that come and go inject a lot of commercial vitality here. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous city not only in the Country of Chi, but even among the surrounding small country groups.

.

In the hot spring hotel, Tenzang took Naruto and the three of them passing by this port city. They planned to stay in the hotel for one night and take a dip in the famous hot spring in the country of ponds in the evening. They would set off from here early the next morning and return to Mu.

leaf.

Even though a ninja has a strong willpower after living outside for several days in a row, he will inevitably feel that such days are a bit boring and he needs to enjoy himself in time to add some spice to his life.

"Speaking of which, Captain Yamato, what is going on in this country? It was not like this when I passed by here before."

In a lounge near the courtyard, a group of people gathered here after putting down their rituals.

Naruto was the first to speak and asked the doubts in his heart.

Obviously, he was still worried about the battle he had encountered in the wild forest.

Seeing so many people dying in front of him, and those who didn't die, making miserable and wailing sounds, was heart-wrenching and made Naruto feel unspeakably depressed.

Sakura's expression was also a little gloomy. As a medical ninja, her compassion was not inferior to that of Naruto. Those samurai should be affiliated with the Daimyoji of the Country of Ikea, an armed group that protects the country, just like Konoha's view of the fire.

The meaning of country is the same.

But now, one by one died in front of him. The warriors who did not die were also taken away and taken to unknown places. They felt extremely disappointed.

In response to Naruto's inquiry, Tenzo shook his head just like he did in the forest before and said: "No, I don't know the inside story. The soldiers who attacked the Daming Mansion samurai in the Country of Chi do not know what is going on either."

Then, he glanced at Naruto and Sakura and continued: "However, these things are not our business. As ninjas of Konoha, if we rashly intervene in other countries' battles, it will bring great harm to the village.

negative impact.”

This is not the time of the Ninja World War. The village has very strict restrictions on ninjas who go out to perform tasks. They cannot do things as easily as they did during the war.

Although there are some ninja villages that behave domineeringly whether in war or peace, such as Kumogakure, in comparison, Konoha is relatively a more rule-abiding ninja village.

If the reputation of Konoha Village is damaged because of this kind of thing, Team 7 will definitely get angry, and the trouble will continue in the future.

"But……"

"Naruto, we are ninjas, not philanthropists. It is our duty to take people's money and eliminate disasters. Don't meddle in matters other than the mission. Especially the previous battle seemed to involve

The changes in the top management of Chi Country will be even more troublesome if you intervene casually."

Tenzo said to Naruto seriously.

Being kind-hearted is not a flaw of the ninja. On the contrary, it is a very good character. However, the ninja must know when to give out his kindness and when to restrain his kindness.

It means giving out your good intentions, but in the end it may cause huge evil consequences instead of good ones.

"It's really bad if you want to help others but end up getting involved yourself. In a foreign country like this, it's better for us to keep a low profile."

Zuo Jing also said with a smile.

As a member of the Gen, he has long been accustomed to fighting. Perhaps the previous battles were a bit too cruel in the eyes of Naruto and Sakura... but this is indeed a reality in the ninja world.

Perhaps, the truth of the matter is more cruel and violent than they imagined.

Every minute and every second in this world is indispensable for the struggle between humans.

The conflicts I encountered accidentally in the forest before were just the tip of the iceberg of what this ninja world showed.

"I got it, I don't need you to explain it specifically, Sakai, huh!"

Naruto turned his head and snorted slightly, seeming a little impatient with Zuoi's words.

He always preached to himself like he had seen the world, but he couldn't refute a word, which made Naruto extremely depressed.

Of course he knew that ninjas were not philanthropists, but he couldn't bear to see so many lives passing away in front of his eyes.

Sakai smiled slightly. He was already familiar with Naruto's personality, so he just thought that the other person was pretending to be relaxed.

Just as Naruto couldn't understand his reality, he couldn't understand the kindness in Naruto's heart.

In this ninja world, he never believed that kindness and love were needed, only pure violence and cold-blooded fighting.

The colors in his inner world are so monotonous and indifferent.

This may be where their current ambiguity lies.

But I don’t actually hate this kind of different life, right? Zukai asked himself in his mind.

But the warm colors are too luxurious for him now...

"Then, it's time for free activities. Anyway, we'll talk about the hot spring bathing in the evening. You can freely control the afternoon."

Tenzo stood up from the floor and smiled at the three Narutos.

In short, performing tasks will put huge physical and psychological pressure on the ninja. Therefore, he decided to let Naruto and the three relax here at this time.

Because the Anbu Anbu's protective power has been enhanced, even if an emergency occurs, he will be able to get support on time.

In addition, Naruto was different from what he was six months ago. Even if a jounin-level ninja wanted to sneak attack Naruto, it would be impossible for him to do so under the protection of ANBU.

"You too, Zuo Jing, after finally coming out, you should also relax a bit."

He walked up to Zuoi and knelt down, patted his shoulder, left the words "Naruto will be with you for the time being" without leaving any trace in his ear, and then disappeared from the room.

Zuo Jing stared at the direction Tianzang left, thoughtfully.

Are you going to do something?

It seems that the captain is quite concerned about the things in the forest, and is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface. Zuo Jing thought to himself.

"It would be nice if it was just me and Sakura..."

On the other side, Naruto began to have thoughts.

Zuo Jing turned his head again and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, it seems like I'm going to disturb your date this time."

If you are in Konoha, the vigilance can be relaxed appropriately, but not outside Konoha Village. You must take strict precautions and follow Naruto inseparably.

"Sakai, don't listen to Naruto's nonsense. I have no interest in dating or anything like that."

Sakura rejected it without hesitation.

However, the capital of Ikeda Country is also a well-known prosperous city in the ninja world. Due to the prosperity of commerce, the types and quality of goods are no worse than those in Konoha, and are even more complete in variety. She indeed has a great interest in shopping.

The three of them stayed together for a while, then left the hot spring hotel and walked to the street.

Next, I plan to spend half a day exploring this port city.

"I didn't expect that there is a ninja shop here. It seems to have a wide range of varieties. I just don't know what the prices are like?"

The first person to enter was a ninja shop. The owner of the shop was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle. He was sitting at the door of the shop, looking drowsy in the sun.

There was only one young female clerk taking care of the store. When she saw the three Narutos coming in, she gave them a friendly and friendly smile, and she was very approachable.

"After all, it is a port city where merchants from both sea and land gather. In this city, it is normal to open a ninja shop."

Sakura disagreed.

The Country of Chi is a country with a large number of ports, and the hot spring industry is developed. Businessmen passing by, as well as ninjas passing by on missions, can't help but stop here to enjoy the scenery of this country.

In a city like this, it is normal to have a large number of ninja shops.

Naruto had already begun to pick up the ninja tools on the shelf in the shop and began to ponder them. Sakai could not help but also walked to the shelf where the ninja swords were placed and carefully stared at the fine ninja swords on the shelf.

Although the store is not large, the ninja tools in the store are all of high quality. Many of the ninja tools are even made of precious chakra metal and have extremely strong chakra properties. This type of ninja tools,

The effect on the growth of ninjas in actual combat is very obvious.

Ordinary metals are very inefficient at conducting chakra, which also weakens the adhesion effect of chakra, resulting in a significant reduction in power.

Therefore, ninja tools made of chakra metal are definitely in short supply and are favored by many ninjas.

Compared to Naruto's casual look, Sawai's posture of choosing the ninja sword is more like a professional connoisseur, who can quickly judge the quality of a ninja tool, and his eyes are extremely serious, which makes people look at it.

You know that if you have learned similar tasting knowledge, you are not just showing off to outsiders.

"Sakai, have you chosen your ninja sword?"

Sakura came to Zuoi and asked softly.

Sakai turned his head and glanced at Sakura, then turned back to look at the two light ninja swords of similar standards in his hands.

"No, I'm thinking about which Ninja Sword to choose. This Ninja Sword is the standard Ninja Sword for military ninjas in the Kingdom of Demons, and here is the Ninja Sword made by the capable blacksmiths of the Kingdom of Iron. The quality of the blade is

, including the ability to conduct chakra, seems to be pretty much the same."

Zuo Jing frowned in embarrassment.

Thanks to its extremely powerful industrial capabilities, the country of ghosts has made improvements in the quality of its ninja tools every year.

The Kingdom of Iron benefited from its own country's accumulation, especially in the aspect of smelting weapons, and became unique in the ninja world.

After all, the warrior culture in this country is extremely prosperous, and the quality requirements for the blade itself are also stricter.

It can be said that the cold weapon ninja tools on the international arms market today are basically ninja tools produced by these two countries.

In comparison, the ninja tools forged by other countries are slightly inferior.
