Qiu Yuanli returned home, put the ninja sword and herbs back on the table, and lit the kerosene lamp.
The elderly woman was lying on the floor, covered with a mattress, but kept coughing. Her eye sockets were sunken and she was not energetic. She vaguely saw a figure coming over and said, "Li, is it still Tai?"
"Mom, I'm back. I also bought the medicine." Qiu Yuanli knelt down next to the old woman, "Where's Mrs. Ye?"
The old woman shook her head and said, "I go out a lot these days."
"This brat, I asked him to take care of you at home..." The girl was angry.
The old woman shook her head, "It's not important. I'm worried about you and Yata. After I die..."
"No." Qiu Yuanli interrupted the old woman, "Mother, when I become the 'Seven People', I will definitely take good care of your illness."
The old woman closed her eyes, perhaps feeling tired, and stopped talking.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a boy excitedly pushed the door in. When he saw Qiu Yuanli, he was stunned.
"sister……"
"Yata, what are you doing here?" Qiu Yuanli saw at a glance that the child's arms were bulging.
With a thin body and thin clothes, it is difficult to hide what is hidden on the body.
"No, isn't it a competition? I went to cheer for my sister." Ye Tai glanced elsewhere.
"Come on for me?" Qiu Yuanli raised his eyebrows and became increasingly angry, "What is in your arms?"
"This..." Yata held on to his clothes tightly, "You...don't worry..."
"I don't care?" Qiu Yuanli pulled Yatai's clothes open, and a big bag with pudding sewn on it fell to the ground. She immediately picked it up, it was heavy, "Money? Where did you get it?"
"me……"
"Stealed?"
"No. I just use my own money to beat the competition." Ye Tai said softly.
"Are you lying to me? How can you have so much money for winning a competition?"
"It's true. Everyone didn't think much of you, so I couldn't get angry, so I bet... There was another game, and the bet was exaggerated to 100:1, so I put all my money in. There are more than one hundred thousand taels here.
…”
"Snapped!"
Qiu Yuanli's hand slapped Ye Tai hard on the face, and the boy took two steps back and sat on the ground.
"Have you forgotten how our family became like this? How did my mother fall ill? Do you still dare to bet!?" Qiu Yuanli said angrily.
"I know...but my mother's illness also costs money. What can I do? This seven-man match is very important, but the duration of this match is only a month...it's really too long.
." I cried too much.
"I..." Qiu Yuanli was speechless. Thinking of her mother's illness, she felt heavy.
At this moment, someone stood outside the door. He knocked twice on the door, attracting Qiu Yuanli's eyes.
"You are..." Qiu Yuanli stared at the person standing at the door. He didn't recognize him, but judging from his clothes, he should belong to the ANBU.
"ANBU, there is something I want to discuss with you." The man smiled.
"Me?" Qiu Yuanli was puzzled, his head filled with questions.
"Yes...come with me, it's not a good place to talk." The man turned and left the room.
Qiu Yuanli was puzzled, but still asked Yata to prepare dinner, and he followed the man out.
"Your family still owes money, right? I checked, and it's no more than 2.2 million taels. And your mother, it was just a simple infection at first, and now she can't get out of bed. Can she hold on?"
the man asked.
"Who are you?" Qiu Yuanli became alert.
"Is it important? You should be more concerned about how to get out of the difficult situation in front of you."
"You don't have to worry about this, I will find a way myself." Qiu Yuanli said.
"The method you are talking about is to become the 'Seven People', right? But be sensible, you can't become one of them. It's not that you are weak, but that your opponent is too strong. I will give you a
Idea, as long as you can kill one person, I will pay back the money you owe, and I will also find a medical ninja to treat your mother's illness. Don't refuse in a hurry, there is still time before the next game
Some time, you have time to think."
Qiu Yuanli felt complicated in her heart. She looked up at the man and didn't know how to answer for a while.
…
"Akimoto Ri?" Yusuke took the ramen he ordered and sat in the corner.
The food he was most familiar with in the Naruto world was Ichiraku Ramen, but there was no such thing in Kirigakure Village. There was quite a lot of seafood ramen, so he ordered a bowl at the noodle shop.
"That's right, your opponent in the next round. So far, three people have died in the entire game, and one of them is his opponent." Terumi Mei picked up the chopsticks and picked out a piece of tempura.
"Uh... I seem to have an impression." Yusuke recalled that when he was about to go on stage, he saw the body lying on the emergency cart. "It turns out that he was killed by Akimoto Ri."
Qiu Yuanli, the name sounds like a girl.
In the world of Naruto, there are very few female ninjas who stand out.
"Well...it sounds like he is a pitiful person."
"What do you say?" Yusuke asked.
"His father has experienced the battle with Konoha, and he has fought for Kirigakure Village through life and death. He may not have had any credit, but he did give everything for the village... But that battle seemed to have exhausted his passion for life, even if he was alive
When he came back, he was just a walking zombie, spending all day in the casino. He died within a year, leaving his family with a huge debt.
"My family sold the house and moved to a dilapidated rental house, but there was still a big gap. His daughter is a genius in using the ninja sword and is my senior. She fell behind in the family, so she has been performing tasks outside.
It is said that she has carried out 10 S-class missions so far, and has been trying to pay off the debt left by her father... Her mother's illness seems to be very serious..."
The waiter served the ramen. Yusuke picked up the noodles but did not swallow them.
"Hearing what you said, I really don't know how to face her."
If you don't count Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, Akimoto Ri is the most miserable person he knows.
"How to deal with it?" Terumi Mei put away her pity, "She is your opponent. When she appears on the battlefield, the only choice is life or death. Do you still want to talk about sympathy with your opponent?"
"Well……"
What Terumi Mei said is not wrong. If you want to survive in the world of Naruto, you cannot have mercy on any opponent.
"Besides, you don't know what she is thinking. What if she just wants to kill you? The person with the white cloth on her face could also be you."
This is true.
Who will sympathize with him then?
"Yes. But isn't she your senior sister? You and she should know each other."
Terumi Mei shook her head, "I'm not familiar with her. Aren't the so-called seniors just an older woman who is a few years ahead of me? You don't have to know her."
Hey, this statement is very dangerous. In the eyes of others, you are also a senior!
Yusuke shouted in his heart, of course, he would not say such words.
"Also, she is good at ninja swords, so Zabuza should be more familiar with her, right?" Terumi Mei stuffed a piece of tempura into her mouth and narrowed her eyes.
Zabuza? It seems to be an idea.
Yusuke took a bite of ramen and thought to himself.
