After leaving the mountain, Xiong Fu San Lang waited in Fenglai Temple City for a few days before boarding a caravan from Hongzhou Island in the south. Together, they went to the Iron Country in the north.
On this day, after entering the Fire Country, Xiong Fu Saburo, who was following the caravan, was napping in his carriage. Suddenly, an alarm rang in his mind, waking him up from his daze.
"Warning! Warning! A high-energy object was approaching! High-energy object detected approaching!"
"System, what happened?" After Xiong Fu San Lang woke up, he immediately jumped down from the carriage and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. He crouched down and said warily.
However, before the system could answer, a series of explosions came from the forest beside the road. It was really a flock of birds flying in fright, and the forest echoed repeatedly.
" Hu!"" Hu!" A few fireballs shot out from the forest and charged directly at the merchant group. Seeing this scene, everyone in the merchant group was shocked. Even Xiong Fu San Lang broke out in cold sweat and his legs were tense.
"Water Evasion, Water Bullet Technique!" Just as Xiong Fu Sanlang was about to run away, three water balls flew out from the caravan and extinguished most of the fireballs. However, there were too few water balls, and two of them were missing. They detonated a carriage at the back of the caravan. Then, a series of miserable screams and the smell of burning fat could be heard.
Bear Saburo looked in the direction of the water escape. Under the dazzling sunlight, he saw three figures dressed as merchants standing on the roof of the carriage warily. They shouted at the forest where the fighting was going on,""We are the caravan of the Red Island ninjas. We have no intention of getting involved in the war of the Fire Country.”
After saying that, the ninjas from Hongzhou Island turned around and waved at the caravan, shouting,""Stop dawdling, hurry up and leave!"
As he spoke, he shot a few darts at the merchants who were screaming in pain because of the fire escape, killing them directly. He did not care about the burning carriage at the end and urged everyone to leave quickly.
Everyone in the merchant group rushed a few thousand meters away. Hearing the sounds of explosions and fighting in the distance, they all let out a sigh of relief. Even Xiong Saburo's entire body was sore and drenched in sweat.
"What bad luck. We were ambushed by the Fire Escape. Don't tell me we met the Uchiha clan again?”Xiong Fu San Lang asked in his heart while panting.
" Not necessarily. We don't have enough information, so we can't tell which tribe the ninjas are from. However, I'm afraid that only the Uchiha Clan has the ability to break through the Thousand Hands Clan's defenses and enter the Country of Fire's territory to fight!”the intelligent system replied.
"Phew!" Saburo Xiong exhaled heavily and said with relief,""Fortunately, those ninjas weren't coming for us. Otherwise, I would have died before I could finish my mission!”After saying that, he laughed again.
"Host, pay attention. Those ninjas from Hongzhou Island have seen you!”The system interrupted the host's smug expression and reminded him.
"Ugh!" Xiong Fusaburo's throat choked and he almost choked on his saliva. Following the system's reminder, he saw the ninjas from Hongzhou Island pointing at him and whispering to each other.
Seeing this, Saburo understood his situation. Among the caravan, other than the ninjas from Hongzhou Island, Saburo stood out. The moment the fireball came, Saburo had already jumped off the carriage and was on guard with his sword. Naturally, he attracted the attention of the ninjas in the caravan.
"Who are the ninjas from Hongzhou Island?”Xiong Saburo asked in his heart when he saw that the ninjas claimed to be ninjas from Hongzhou Island.
"The ninjas from Hongzhou Island should be from a neutral island!”the system analyzed.
"Hmm, your analysis makes sense…Nonsense!”Xiong Saburo rolled his eyes.
Xiong Fusaburo pondered for a moment and thought of something. His eyes shone brightly as he approached the ninjas in a flattering manner.
When the ninjas from Hongzhou Island saw that Xiong Fusaburo was approaching them like a weasel, they immediately became alert and said,""Who are you? What's the matter?”
The ninjas of Hongzhou Island were probably only guards of the caravan and were not in charge of the business of the caravan. They were naturally wary of the unfamiliar Xiong Fusaburo.
Bear Saburo clenched his fists and placed them in front of his chest. He chuckled and said to the ninjas in front of him,""I am Xiong Fusaburo of Fenglai Temple City. Recently, I have received the appreciation of the nobles and learned the Chakra cultivation method. However, I do not have the corresponding ninjutsu and related knowledge. Today, after seeing the heroic figures of the few lords, I yearned for it, so I shamelessly wanted to ask the few lords for advice!”
Those ninjas swayed and swayed. They were so drunk from Xiong Saburo's praise that they didn't even know where they had flown to.
Although the warring states era in the Naruto world was chaotic, most of the people in this world were poor farmers. Even the few elites enjoyed the flattery of others. Who would praise these little ninjas who accompanied the guards so brilliantly? They were heroic and adults. When those ninjas heard this, their heads turned red, as if they had ascended to heaven, laughing foolishly.
However, ninjas were ninjas after all. After enjoying themselves, the oldest of them, who looked like the leader, was the first to wake up. Although he was still looking at Xiong Saburo with vigilance, the smile on his face could not be wiped away.
He swung his elbows backward and heavily hit the chests of his two companions who were still dreaming. He coughed violently and interrupted his companions who were about to speak.
"Ninjutsu and related knowledge are family secrets.”The older leader tried his best to keep a straight face and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, even though he was mentally prepared, Xiong Fu San Lang's face still darkened. He replied dejectedly,""If that's the case, then I still have to thank you for telling me the truth. I was indeed delusional!”
After saying that, Saburo turned around and wanted to leave. However, at this moment, the ninja captain suddenly shouted from behind him,""Xiong Fujun, you must be quite capable to be able to discover the danger of the caravan so quickly. If you can help us escort the caravan, we won't dare to teach you ninjutsu and related knowledge. However, you have a few years of experience in using chakras.”
Xiong Fu Saburo was overjoyed when he heard that. He bowed to the ninjas gratefully and said,""I'm willing, but I don't dare to invite you!"
After saying that, the few of them laughed together. After a while, one of the ninjas asked in confusion,"Xiong Fujun, what did you mean just now?”
Xiong Fu San Lang smiled awkwardly, but a few black lines seemed to appear on his face. He pursed his lips and said in his heart,""This bunch of ninjas are really uncultured!”
After more than ten days of arduous trekking, the Red State Island's caravan finally arrived at the destination of the caravan, the capital of the Iron Country.
Neng Deng City was a majestic city in the northern part of the Warring States Continent. Relying on the rich mineral resources of the Iron Country, its excellent port, and convenient transportation, Neng Deng City had become increasingly prosperous over the past few hundred years.
Outside the city gate, Xiong Saburo bowed and bid farewell to the caravan.""Thank you very much for taking care of me along the way. Xiong Fusan will take his leave now!”
With that, he bowed to the ninjas of Hongzhou Island with tears in his eyes and said,""Isuzu-kun, Danba-kun, Zao-er-kun, thank you very much for taking care of me for so many days. Xiong Fu-san has gained a lot, and I will remember your great kindness in my heart.”
The three ninjas from Hongzhou Island bowed and replied,""Xiong Fujun is very capable, and the three of us have benefited greatly. Xiong Fujun, let's bid farewell here.”With that, he led the caravan into the city.
Xiong Saburo walked in the hot sun in the city's town. The fishy sea breeze made him sweat. He had no choice but to remove his clothes in order to dissipate the heat, revealing his muscular upper body.
Looking at the rows of low houses in front of him, Kumakasaburo held the letter from Jiro and muttered to himself,""What kind of lousy place is this? Why is Jiro's house so difficult to find?”After saying that, he pinched his nose and endured the stench in the air before walking towards the house in front of him.
After asking a few passersby and getting rid of a few wandering girls who took advantage of him, Saburo Kumamoto finally stumbled to the address that Jiro had mentioned in the letter. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, Saburo Kumamoto frowned deeply and was puzzled.
It was a dilapidated house located in the slums of a big city. The living conditions here were not good, and it was completely different from what Jiro had mentioned in his letter. Xiong Fusaburo thought about it and understood the situation. It was just like how he worked in a big city in his previous life and lived in a dilapidated rented house. When he went home, he would brag to his family. He smiled and said,"Jiro, Jiro! He even dared to boast in the letter that he was an official under the Iron Country's general. How was this an official? It might just be a minor matter!”
After saying that, San Lang walked towards the house in front of him and said with a smile,"Jiro! Jiro! Look at how I'm going to laugh at you this time. We're all brothers. What's there to be embarrassed about if we're not doing well? It won't hurt to make me laugh.”
However, after Xiong Fu San Lang walked into the room, a woman in heavy makeup saw San Lang walk in and carefully looked at San Lang's naked body of strong muscles. Her eyes were shining as she leaned over.
"Brother, are you here to play? It's very cheap. I'll let you experience the joy of being a woman!”
Xiong Fu San Lang chuckled, thinking that he had found the wrong place. He easily broke free from the woman's hands and took a deep breath. He scratched his head and looked at the letter in his hand in confusion. Then, he turned around and walked out.
When the woman saw Xiong Fusaburo break free from his embrace and turn to leave, she cursed in a low voice,""Tsk, poor bastard! Go home and eat your mother's milk!"
With that, he walked into the depths of the room. In the dark corner of the room, there was a baby's cradle. The woman sat beside the cradle and gently stroked the baby's small face. Her face revealed a motherly glow.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the door again. The woman beside the cradle was awakened. She revealed a professional smile and went forward to welcome him. When she saw that it was San Lang who had returned, she paused for a moment and immediately smiled."Aiyo, little brother, do you miss your sister? Come in quickly.”
After wandering around outside for a while, Kumamoto Saburo still couldn't find Jiro's house. He had no choice but to return to the address mentioned in the letter. He planned to ask the owner of the house if he knew his brother.
"Sister, there's no need to rush. May I ask if you know a person called Kumafujiro?”
When the woman heard this, her expression immediately changed. She took two steps back and asked warily,"Who are you? Are you here to collect a debt or to pay it back?”
After Xiong Saburo entered the room, he used the sunlight outside to carefully scan the room. He saw a few gray blankets in the corner of the room, a small table in the right corner, and a baby's cradle beside the table. A samurai sword was placed neatly by the middle wall, and there was an incense burner under the blade. There were a few wisps of incense that had not been extinguished.
Hearing the woman's voice, San Lang smiled and said,"I'm not here to collect debts, nor am I here to pay them back. I'm his brother, Xiong Fusan!”
