Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn.

Chapter 205 Miserable
The next morning.

It rained all day and all night, and finally stopped.

The sky also showed a hint of fish belly white at the right time.

After a whole night of rest, everyone in the team has basically recovered well.

Except for individual people.

For example, Uchiha Shisui.

At this time, he had big dark circles under his eyes. He was absent-minded while eating breakfast and looked lost.

Apparently, he was disturbed by Toshiro's remarks last night and didn't get a good rest.

"Toushiro, are you going alone this time?"

Looking at Toshiro, who was wearing a large cloak that could cover his whole body and had a hood, Uchiha Tetsu asked.

"Well! I'll go alone! You should be careful. If there is any emergency, just send a signal and I will rush over soon..."

Toshiro, who was originally planning to go to this destination alone according to the original plan, happened to see Uchiha Shisui in a sleepwalking state at this time, and immediately changed his mind and said:

"Shisui, come with me too! It's good to see more!"

As he spoke, he also took out an identical cloak, threw it to Shisui, and motioned for him to put it on.

"???"

Seeing the question in the other person's eyes, Toshiro did not answer immediately, but smiled mysteriously and let it pass.

Not only Toshiro, but Tetsu and Homura all showed the same expression, looking at Uchiha Shisui with question marks on his face.

It looks like you will know it when you go there.

It should be said that the training of ninjas in the village was very successful. Faced with the captain's completely unclear request, he did not continue to explore, but began to put it on without saying a word.

It's just that this large cloak, coupled with his 'petite' figure, looks unusually loose and fat.Even though he has used some special methods to make his height look no different from that of an adult.

From a distance, it still felt funny, but Toshiro was not too demanding.

After the other party finished dressing, Toshiro threw a bottle of special potion into Shisui's arms and asked him to apply it himself.

Then he turned around and took Zhisui with him, heading towards an abandoned village in the distance.

Shisui, on the other hand, played the role of a subordinate very well. After seeing that Toshiro had no intention of solving his doubts, he followed him without any hesitation.

As the distance got closer, this abandoned village revealed its unknown side.

Feeling the eyes that glanced at him from time to time, although Shisui said nothing on the surface, the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.

He didn't know that this abandoned village, which seemed to have no one staying at all, had some unknown secrets under its desolate appearance.

Surprisingly, just being close will attract so many probing eyes.The next scene shocked him greatly. He was only eight years old and had a kind nature. He had no idea that such a tragic thing would happen in this abandoned corner.

As they went deeper, they came to the center of the place, where rows of sparse 'shops' were open for business.

From time to time, there would be one or two pedestrians dressed similarly to the two of them, both wearing wide cloaks to cover their whole bodies, walking in and out of these 'shops'.

And the products in those shops are also diverse.

Antiques, food, firearms, medicinal materials, or kunai shurikens used by ninjas are just some of the items.Even detonating charms and large repeating crossbows used by ninjas are sold here.

What was most unacceptable to him was that the 'goods' sold in a few shops were actually living human beings.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Senior Toshiro took him to wander around these places, and even went in to talk to the boss and learn about the 'market'.

This gave him a general understanding of the prices of these 'goods'.

The most expensive ones are those pretty girls aged thirteen or fourteen.Next are the young and strong young men, and next are the older women, but these people usually have one or two children with them, so they are not very popular.

As for the old and weak alone, he didn't see any of them. He heard from senior Toshiro that these people had basically disappeared automatically on the road.

As for the so-called 'disappearance', the senior did not explain it to me in detail. He just gave me a meaningful look.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, after just thinking about it for a moment, he already understood what the senior meant by 'disappearing'.

This also made the young man become more and more taciturn. After that, he could only mechanically follow behind Toshiro-senpai and silently observe everything here.

After wandering around in this black market for a while, and eliminating a few shops that might be Onin Village, specially used to collect intelligence, Toshiro took Shisui, who was dumbfounded, and entered a shop that didn't look very big. middle.

After his observation, it is very likely that this is a place where some local forces from the Country of Grass gathered together to collect some supplies.

Ignoring the clerk who was selling him a beautiful young woman, he handed a seal scroll directly to the middle-aged man who was smoking in the store.

In Toshiro's perception, this middle-aged man with a medium build, wearing an ordinary black kimono, and a sad face had chakra reactions that were close to those of a chuunin and a special jounin.

Judging from the attitude of the women who were used as goods, they seemed to be very familiar with him. Toshiro judged that the two parties must have known each other for a long time, but they were forced to do so by life.

At the same time, he was also feeling emotional!
The more chaotic the place, the easier it is for this kind of thing to happen. For example, the beautiful young woman just now had a pretty good figure and appearance, but the baby in her arms made her not very popular.

And with an infant baby, she, a woman, especially a somewhat pretty woman, could not survive in this chaotic country.

She can only turn herself into a commodity, hoping that by virtue of her beauty, she can be protected by others, and the only requirement is that the other party can save her from abandoning her child.

If she doesn't do this, not only her, but also her child may not survive more than a month and will become a withered skeleton on the roadside.

This is the tragedy of these citizens of small countries...

And he couldn't help the other party at all.
