Chapter 402: Love Street? Descendants of heroes? What a joke! Sprint 10th update 4
"So it's Ikegami, the leader. In just two short months, Leader Ikegami has made three round trips. You've really been a great help."
During wartime, even the captain of the Hidden Sand Village's outer guard was an Elite Jonin.
However, it seemed that this Elite Jonin and the leader of the caravan that Fujiwara Tetsuya had infiltrated were quite familiar with each other.
"Jonin Abe, you jest. I'm just trying to make a living."
"You know the situation in our Land of Birds; it's not easy to support a family."
"Now that such an opportunity has finally come, naturally, I have to earn more."
"By the way, Jonin Abe, these laborers and escorts behind me are all recruited from the local Land of Birds. There are no issues with their identities at all…"
As he joked, Ikegami pointed at everyone in turn.
"We naturally trust the words of Leader Ikegami."
"The handover point for Ninja supplies is still the old place. Leader Ikegami can personally lead his people over there…"
"There have been many caravans coming and going these days, so I won't accompany you."
… "We're already in?"
Looking at the wide streets on both sides of the Hidden Sand Village, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes felt a little numb.
Although he had some expectations, for the Hidden Sand Village's guard to let the members of their caravan in so easily without any inspection, wasn't it a bit too much like child's play?
If trust could truly be eaten, then where would the Warring States Period or the Ninja era come from?
After a few seconds of silence, Fujiwara Tetsuya shook his head helplessly… He quickly walked forward, leading the two camels in his hands.
The handover point for Ninja supplies!
If there were enough stored items, before leaving… he might as well put on a grand fireworks show.
"Leader Ikegami, there are no discrepancies in the items on the list."
"However, we need to ask you to wait one day. It's too late today. Tomorrow at noon… someone will come to your lodging to hand over all the payments to you."
The Elite Jonin named Abe didn't speak idly; there were indeed quite a few merchant caravans coming and going.
At least, in front of the caravan Fujiwara Tetsuya was with, there were several caravans even larger than the one Ikegami had organized.
By the time everything was tallied, it was already evening.
"We naturally trust the Hidden Sand Village's reputation, so I will wait at the old place."
Although he didn't immediately receive the deserved payment from the Hidden Sand Village, Ikegami, in a good mood, still distributed a sum of money to Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group in advance, so they could enjoy themselves in the Hidden Sand Village's entertainment district.
"Hey, Koike, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up."
"There are many merchant caravans in Hidden Sand Village today. If you go too late, you won't be able to get in line."
"Hmm~ I suddenly have a stomachache. I might have eaten something bad. You seniors go ahead, I'll follow shortly…"
Entertainment district!
It sounded good, but… that kind of place, he could only think about it now.
He was, to some extent, a man with a family now!
If those two at home found out, Fujiwara Tetsuya wasn't sure if he would ever have the chance to regain his vigor.
"Alright, we know. But hurry up, okay~"
Gazing at the retreating figures of several merchant caravan colleagues, Fujiwara Tetsuya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, in a person's life, temptations are everywhere.
No, now doesn't seem to be the time to think about these things… After discerning the direction, Fujiwara Tetsuya first walked towards the Hidden Sand Village's orphanage.
Those children who lost their loved ones in the war were all gathered there.
Compared to adults with stable ideologies, children whose ideologies had not yet formed were undoubtedly easier to incite… "Is this the Hidden Sand Village's orphanage?"
"It's truly no different from Konoha, equally dilapidated~"
Standing at the entrance of the Hidden Sand Village's orphanage, looking at the dilapidated buildings inside the courtyard, Fujiwara Tetsuya's tone seemed somewhat profound… His sigh was mixed with mockery and disdain for the Hidden Sand Higher-Ups and the Konoha Higher-Ups.
The descendants of heroes should not only be a symbolic name but also be given material security.
What the Hidden Sand Higher-Ups and Konoha Higher-Ups were doing now was like squeezing dry a Ninja family or a Shinobi Clan, then kicking these burdens aside… After a slight pause, Fujiwara Tetsuya casually transformed into a seven or eight-year-old child, and after making himself dirty, he crept towards the orphanage under the cover of night.
"Stop, who are you? Why are you here?"
Amidst a slightly anxious voice, several children holding wooden sticks… heard the commotion Fujiwara Tetsuya deliberately made, and instantly rushed out from the dark corners, surrounding the transformed Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"I… I'm not a bad person. My name is Ji. Both my parents were Ninja of Hidden Sand Village, but… they both died in the war not long ago."
"I'm sorry, I didn't come here to cause trouble, it's just… I'm really too hungry."
"Can you give me something to eat? Even if it's your leftovers!"
Although he had been out of Anbu for a long time, Fujiwara Tetsuya's awareness and acting skills were still sharp.
With a cry and a sob, he instantly won the sympathy of the children.
"So… you're also a war orphan, just like us?"
"You guys, put your things away. You scared Ji."
"Ji, come with us. Remember to be quiet, be careful… don't wake up the orphanage teachers, otherwise… we'll get scolded again!"
"Nan, if I remember correctly, you secretly hid some food tonight, right? Go… quickly get those things out for Ji to eat."
As he spoke, Fujiwara Tetsuya was embraced by a child around ten years old… This intimate gesture immediately made Fujiwara Tetsuya's body stiffen, almost causing his Chakra to go wild.
"Mizuno… what are you saying? What food… don't falsely accuse me."
"You can't just say things like that…"
"Hmph~ Nan, you fellow, do I have to expose you?"
"This isn't the first time you've done something like this. You're doing this… for Xun, aren't you?"
"Are you worried that Xun just came to the orphanage and isn't getting enough to eat? Right?"
"Do I need to wake Xun up and tell her your feelings?"
"Mizuno, you fellow… you're a terrible bastard! I get it, I'll go get it now!"
Apparently, precociousness wasn't just happening at the Konoha Ninja Academy… even a group of seven or eight-year-old children in Hidden Sand Village were already starting to put effort into cultivating girlfriends.
Looking at the moldy food in front of him, Fujiwara Tetsuya's heart rejected it.
However, upon noticing the pairs of expectant eyes, he couldn't help but sigh, picking up the food and putting it into his mouth.
