Red Dust

In addition, the food and beverages are also very particular. The dishes in front of you are not a masterpiece of famous chefs, and they are much better than those indifferent roadside stalls and fly restaurants.

"It's much warmer than the north. If you're tired from practicing outside, you can lie down directly, and you don't have to worry about getting sick from the cold..."

Uzumaki Naruto, who is very concerned about improving his strength, is most concerned about this aspect.

While the two were having a warm meal, there was a commotion outside, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see a huge lizard with the windscreen open, trying to come in, but unfortunately the door was too narrow.

Realizing that it couldn't pass through the gate, the big lizard honestly stepped aside and squatted down, the little puppet sitting on its head jumped down, and then walked in as if no one else was there.

"Hey, looks a little familiar..."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he squinted his eyes for a while, and finally Naruto Uzumaki shouted,

"This is the puppet that Sand Shinobi called 'Daimaru' carried with him..."

The puppet appeared, and Daimaru, the puppet master, must be nearby.

But after observing for a long time, I didn't find the guy who was indifferent to his own injuries, and who could still indifferently smile and wound his opponent.

Watching the puppet approach, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to the boss. The person in charge of the reception had expected to hand over the prepared food box to the puppet.

After the transaction was completed, the doll carried the takeaway he bought, and after going out, he rode the big lizard and left lightly.

During the whole process, including other diners in the store, the waiters and bosses in the reception, and the pedestrians on the road, it seems that they have long been surprised, and there is nothing unusual.

"Lustful immortal, did you see it?"

The stunned Naruto Uzumaki pointed to the "Chameleon Knight" who was far away and said,

"The puppet is moving on its own, is there any demon or ghost at work? It must be a cursed puppet, and anyone who sees it will be entangled..."

The blond boy shouted loudly, causing others to turn their heads to watch.

Some embarrassed Zilai also pulled the disciple over and covered his mouth:

"Shut up, don't affect other people, it's too rude..."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said to everyone:

"Sorry, the child has little knowledge, please bear with me!"

After Naruto Uzumaki calmed down, Jiraiya, who had a headache, taught an angry lesson:

"You guy, you dare to fight with people Zhuli, you are afraid of ghosts and cursed puppets, you are really a cowardly child, don't be too embarrassed..."

"But, it's so weird!"

"Not surprising at all!"

Angrily patted Naruto Uzumaki on the forehead who didn't learn his lesson at all,

"What is it to use a puppet to buy takeout? There are many people who entrust psychic beasts to buy things. I have also seen people who have gone out of their bodies and beheaded people thousands of miles away..."

The out-of-body soul is too far away, Naruto Uzumaki just pretended that he was talking big and said in a low voice:

"The psychic beast is alive, but the puppet is not..."

"The ninja world is so big, and there are so many magical ninjutsus, so I took you out to travel, see the world more, and understand how much ninjas can do. Just make a fuss about this little thing, and it will be difficult in the future. now..."

Jiraiya, who shook his head helplessly, was about to continue talking. The door curtain was pushed open again, and a whirlwind-like power descended from the sky and was quickly put away. He saw a dark brown long-haired girl walking in. Judging by her age, she was taller than the whirlpool. Naruto was a year or two older, with a light smile on his face, the wings stretched behind his back vibrated slightly and then tucked away, sticking to his back like a shawl.

"This is……"

Seeing the eye-catching Konoha guard on his forehead, Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto were stunned for a moment,

"There are compatriots here, do you have a mission? Naruto, it seems that you are the same age as you, do you know?"

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head.

"I haven't seen her before, and she didn't have her in the Chunin exam the year before last! Looking at her skinny appearance, she doesn't look too powerful! But the half-body armor on her body is very beautiful..."

"Not just beautiful..."

Jiraiya looked at the girl who came in with interest, and in that armor, he actually found an aura similar to the puppet doll just now.

"Is it a coincidence? 』

Chapter 0626 Reunion

The older and more knowledgeable senior ninjas are, the more they understand that there are not so many so-called coincidences in this world.

In the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, all ninjas add up to 10,000+, some of which are weak ninjas and retired ninjas who are no longer at their peak.

The higher you go, the fewer ninjas you can call your comrades, rivals, and enemies.

Ninjas who survived one or two ninja wars are rarely surprised by unexpected things.

A female ninja with a Konoha forehead guard has chakras similar to the Sand Ninja puppet. If Sandyin Village and Konoha Village are not allies, Jirai will also doubt whether this beautiful little girl is a spy who has been instigated. .

"That kind of armor is a bit like the wing armor bought from Sandyin Village, but the shape is different from what the information said!Is it custom? 』

Under the doubtful eyes of Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki, the little girl found an empty seat, ordered a few well-selling signature dishes, and ate it on her own.

"Hey, lecherous fairy, what's wrong with you?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked strangely.

Although it is a bit surprising to meet a compatriot from Konoha Village thousands of miles away from home, this is not something to be surprised by, right?

"What's so special about that person?"

"A little concerned! But... it has nothing to do with us!"

The footprints of Konoha Ninja are all over the Ninja World, and it is normal to encounter them by chance during their travels.

As for going up to say hello or something, it's still free.

The two are so different in age, and they have not been in Konoha Village for many years, it is also a question whether young people can recognize Jirai, one of the "Three Endurances".

Just when the master and the apprentice were about to withdraw their attention and left after eating quietly, two young ninjas, a man and a woman, suddenly broke in outside.

The male Sand Shinobi was slightly taller and slender, holding a cane half human height, like a cane made of twin snakes; the girl was slightly shorter, carrying a longbow that was almost the same height as her body.

The two stood at the door, looking at the diners in the store recklessly.After a few seconds, he locked his gaze behind the little girl who was eating by herself shortly after entering.

Finding the target, the two of them lit up and stepped forward.

"It turned out to be Miss Kurama Yakumo, you are finally a ninja too, congratulations..."

"It's you!"

After taking a few gulps of the soup and licking the corner of his mouth, Yakumo Kurama raised his head and saw the two peers he knew when he was learning how to control the wing armor in Sandyin Village last year.

"Yan Mi, Wenzi, it's been a long time! It looks like you guys are having a good time..."

Looking at the weapons that the two of them carried, it was not something that civilian ninjas who had just stepped on the road of ninjas could afford.

"Lord Commander is generous, exchanged for internal contributions..."

Yan Mi replied reservedly.

It's good that the immediate boss is a senior puppet stylist, and the leftovers from the usual trial works are all good things that are rarely seen outside.

Fragments of chakra metal, unformed biological materials, and old puppet parts that have been replaced, Daimaru are all piled up in the warehouse as "garbage".

These materials, which are very excellent in chakra conduction, are not used by Daimaru, and they are all entrusted to subordinates to handle them.

The "waste" is recycled for the second time, deducting manpower and material resources, but in fact, it does not save much, so the puppet masters and apprentices of the subordinates can get some benefits, and the refurbished puppets, weapons, etc. are treated as welfare, half sold and half sent.

What Daimaru values ​​most is to provide a platform for young people who are interested in puppet making to increase their knowledge.

No matter how clever puppet stylists are, they all start with imitation. Unlike rich people who spend money to buy materials for their children to practice their skills, Daimaru can only use this method to give the talents under his command a chance to exercise.

In the short term, it is definitely not profitable, and Daimaru does not expect too much, as long as the cost can be recovered to maintain operation. In this way, there is a cycle of in and out, so that the very fragmented parts of the subordinate can barely be kneaded into a whole.

"It's because of your ability to do things well that you have this benefit! Daimaru is not a benevolent old man. If he doesn't create value that far exceeds the harvest, he won't treat you differently..."

The eldest lady of the Kurama family, who was talking, ate most of the food in front of her, relieved the fatigue and hunger of the long journey, and said with a smile,

"It's not easy to develop a place in the wilderness, right?"

How can the subordinates have any doubts about the decision of the boss?

Yan Mi and the text looked at each other and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, I have the experience of Awaji Village, so I won't be in a hurry! Miss Yakumo is here at this time, I don't know what is going on? Although I am a little embarrassed, we have to remind that this is already the territory of Sandyin Village. Ninja, without a pass, you can't come and go at will..."

At the beginning of the establishment of the base, the infrastructure was incomplete, and there was nothing to worry about. Sand Ninja was also understaffed, and the warning system had not been fully deployed, so that when the Kurama Yakumo suddenly appeared, he did not respond. Someone came over to find out.

"You really can't come in and out at will?"

The smiling Kurama Yakumo turned his head and looked in the direction of Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya not far away.

Immediately, Sand Ninja, who was prompted, also discovered the abnormality between the master and the apprentice.

Facing the searching gazes of the three, Jiraiya replied with a smile:

"When I first came to your land, I am a writer and I am collecting materials nearby. I don't know what advice I have?"

The current identity recognition of the master and the apprentice is indeed very low. Jiraiya wears a forehead guard with the word "oil" on his head. After Naruto Uzumaki practiced, he soaked in the hot spring, and the forehead guard of Konoha Village was temporarily removed.

There are a lot of business trips every day, and Sand Ren doesn't know the identity of everyone, so the two walked in swaggeringly, and no one paid much attention.

But now that it has been targeted, the suspicious things are highlighted, and it cannot be hidden.

It's not that he's scared, but he just doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

It's a pity that the disciples around him couldn't understand Jiraiya's thoughts at all. They stood up to meet the eyes and said carelessly:

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, a ninja from Konoha Village, and I will become a Naruto man in the future. What are you doing watching me and the lecherous immortal?"

"So stupid!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Jiraiya, who didn't have time to stop him, couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

The straight-hearted young man has no memory of how many times he has caused trouble by talking nonsense.

"It's Konoha Ninja again?"

Yan Mi's hand holding the cane clenched tightly, and Wenzi also weighed the longbow on his back.

"Uzumaki Naruto? I'm a little impressed!"

Kurama Yakumo thought for a while, and then he understood who was on the other side.

"It turned out to be Lord Jiraiya..."
