Chapter 168 Entering the money exchange by mistake

"Are you kidding me?

"Ha, hahaha, Sasuke, what are you talking about? Time is running out. It's too late to catch up now. Stop joking!"

Tiantian's eyes were full of tears, but his mouth made a laughing expression.

However, Uchiha Sasuke just looked at her calmly and told her with his expression——

Everything has been decided.

That's it.

"Why, why?!

"I don't want to believe in any bounty! He is our companion in Konoha, we should recover him, right?!

"He was just confused for a moment, why did you give him up like this!

"Uchiha Sasuke! Neji regards you as his best friend, do you want to give him up too?!"

As Tiantian talked, his emotions gradually became more and more out of control.

In the end, he rushed up directly, grabbed Uchiha Sasuke's neck, and questioned loudly.

"Tiantian, cheer up!"

These buildings are not so much houses as they are more like the remains of half-demolished buildings.

Uzumaki Naruto laughed in panic.

In addition, Orochimaru's lair was right in front of him. Facing a completely unknown future, Neji felt a little uneasy in his heart.

As if fleeing, he left the hustle and bustle behind him.
-

On the other side, through the forest and beyond the Valley of the End.

Sweat broke out on Inuzuka Kiba's forehead, and he quickly stepped forward to persuade him, clumsily separating the two people who were entangled together.

Some of them were huddled on the straw mat, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"Sasuke, um, I think, at least, Tenten should be allowed to see Neji again, right?

“I didn’t give up on him just like that.

Behind him, Tiantian felt that his legs were weak and he almost fainted.

In the small town, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.

"Tiantian, calm down."

After traveling for a day and a night, Hyuga Neji finally arrived at the southern border of Tian Country.

"He was the one who gave up on me, no, all of us."

Along the way, large fields were randomly abandoned.

Continue on through the town to the other side of the area.

Some were squatting blankly at the door, their faces covered with dirt, looking at the street in a daze.

The most intuitive feeling is that this is a sparsely populated country.

The destruction of vegetation caused the wind and sand to erode the land wantonly, and the sky was also gray.

Seeing this building now, Neji suddenly thought that maybe he could get some information in advance.

With the help of Inuzuka Kiba, Uchiha Sasuke finally broke free and retreated to the side.

"anyone there?"

An inconspicuous house in this dilapidated town is particularly eye-catching because of its complete shape.

When Ningci walks in front of these people, they will stare at Ningci, a stranger.

There was no expression on the dirty face, and I didn't know whether he was curious or wary.

To be honest, even now, Naruto still feels as if he is in a dream.

Uzumaki Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba quickly stepped forward to help.

A house with four walls and a roof.

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth, not daring to look back.

"How about we go talk to the lustful immortal again?"

At this time, Neji just felt exhausted and just wanted to find a cleaner place to rest for a while.

He straightened his messed up collar and said coldly:

I was happily attending the wedding just now, why did such a big event suddenly happen?

Along the roadside, the houses stood in a very scrawled manner.

The walls are crumbling, and broken walls can be seen everywhere, as well as roofs that have collapsed due to years of disrepair.

Neji passed by this small town, and the streets were deserted. Occasionally, he would see some figures in the dilapidated houses.

After saying this, Uchiha Sasuke walked around his friends and strode forward.

There is a strong sense of unreality regarding Neji's defection.

At first, Neji even doubted whether there were any villagers living in this land.

For Naruto, things developed too fast.

All the buildings that I could see together couldn't make up two complete walls.

Neji tentatively entered the room.

In the dim light, I could see a few tables scattered around the room, and a row of shelves against the wall.

It doesn't look like a restaurant or a store.

"What do you want?"

Hearing Neji's call, a middle-aged man walked out of the back room.

He was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was wrapped in a gray and black scarf around his neck, as if a python was coiled around his shoulders.

The style of this scarf seemed very familiar to Neji.

If you look closely, you will see that it is the most common and iconic look of the invading Otogakure ninjas in the "Konoha Collapse Plan".

"Just some food."

As expected, the shops that are still doing business in this kind of town have more or less connections with the Otogakure Ninja Village.

After seeing the scarf, Neji was even more convinced that this exploration would be fruitful.

As he spoke, he found a random place to sit down.

"Haha, it's strange that someone actually came to eat."

The middle-aged strong man smiled but did not move.

Hinata Neji came back to his senses and realized that a layer of dust had accumulated on the table next to him.

It seems that no one really sits down in these places on weekdays.

After noticing this, Neji's alertness suddenly increased to another level.

"Just the dumplings, okay?"

Before Ningci could speak, he heard the man ask loudly.

"It's troublesome."

Neji nodded, prepared to wait and see what would happen, and followed the trend.

I saw the strong man taking out a few cold rice balls from the shelf nearby and pushing them in front of Neci.

"Thank you."

Neji took the rice ball and said politely.

"One thousand five hundred taels."

The strong man looked at Ningji coldly, but showed no sign of leaving.

Neji smiled.

It turns out that this is a black shop.

I can rest assured that.

"It's okay, just bring some more."

Neji said with a smile.

In this world, there are actually illegal shops that dare to rob ninjas, which is also eye-opening.

The country of Tian, ​​where the Otogakure Ninja Village is located, is indeed a poor and crazy place.

"Take out the money first and then talk."

The man said arrogantly.

"Don't worry, just put it on Orochimaru's account."

Neji still smiled and said.

"Stop bluffing me here. Don't think that just because you've heard a name, you can come out and eat and drink for free.

"Which ninja in the Otogakure Ninja Village don't I recognize?"

After saying that, the man looked at Hinata Neji carefully.

After seeing his forehead protector with the Konoha logo that had been scratched, he was suddenly shocked.

"Rebellious ninjas are rare in Konoha."

I saw the man talking to himself, staring at Neji's face carefully, looking up and down.

"Do you see clearly?"

Neji asked provocatively.

Suddenly, the man seemed to have thought of something, and his demeanor changed drastically.

It seemed like a surprise, but also like it felt incredible.

"Guest, please wait a moment."

I saw that the man turned back in a hurry and began to whisper with someone in the direction of the kitchen.

Neji pricked up his ears. Compared to ordinary people, ninjas' five senses are more sensitive.

Even so, Neci could only hear a few fragments of words, such as:

"Never seen anything like this."

"Do you see clearly?"

".fat sheep"

".But, still alive"

"No, no, no, this is completely against the rules!"

"Then why don't you watch"

"."

Through his eyes, Neji saw that there was a base-like stronghold of about three hundred square meters hidden behind this small store.

At this time, there were only two people in the kitchen secretly plotting something.

But among the strongholds at the rear, there are many chakra energy bodies scattered in various places. There are about eight or nine people in total.

However, judging from the performance of chakra, there don't seem to be many strong ones among these people. In fact, four of the two people in front of them were not ninjas at all, but completely ordinary civilians.

Just when Hyuga Neji was full of curiosity about this place, he saw the strong man from the beginning walking out of the kitchen again.

For some reason, this person changed his previous indifference.

While cleaning the table diligently, he exchanged greetings with Neji:

"The Country of Fire, a land of wealth. I have never heard of refugees from the Country of Fields escaping there. This is the first time I've seen the other way around."

Neji didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

"My guest, as a powerful ninja, you must have your own reasons for coming to this poor place, right?"

I recognize the logo of the rebel ninja.

In short, you can't be here for the mission.

"I came here to seek refuge with Lord Orochimaru. I want to pursue higher power."

Hyuga Neji replied calmly.

In his opinion, the more people who know about this news, the better.

"Have a vision, have a vision."

Although the man said this, he couldn't understand it in his heart.

It’s still the same thing as what I just said.

Konoha, the strongest ninja village.

Yinyinren Village is the most beautiful place.

Although Orochimaru is powerful, he is quite cruel to his subordinates.

If you are not careful, they will be treated as experimental subjects and disposed of like consumables.

In comparison, Neji's choice is really difficult to understand.

Of course, I don't really want to understand him.

Behind Neji, the man stared at him coldly, as if looking at a corpse.

"Guest, please eat first. Please forgive me for my lack of care."

During the conversation, another white-faced young man walked out of the kitchen.

Apparently, it was the one who had discussed with the man before.

I saw that he was holding a long tray in his hand, with several plates of delicious dishes and meals on it.

At this moment, one plate after another was being respectfully placed in front of Neji.

"What does this mean?"

Neji was stunned.

It was very strange to be confused by the other party's unpredictable attitude.

“Although Tian Zhiguo is small, it is not easy to run such a small store.

"For a powerful ninja from Konoha like you, if we are lucky enough to be friends with you, then hey, it would be an honor."

The white-faced young man rubbed his hands with a humble and amiable attitude.

This reason makes sense.

However, I don’t know what they plotted.

"Really? I've always liked making friends in my life, why don't we sit down and eat together?"

Although he was hungry, Neji decided to proceed with caution.

I couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with the food, so I immediately sent out an invitation.

"Okay! Thank you for looking up to me! It's better to obey my orders than to be respectful."

He seemed to understand Neji's intention.

The white-faced young man didn't hesitate, and immediately sat across from Ningci. He picked up a pair of chopsticks, took a random bite from each plate of food, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Seeing the other party's performance, Neji's doubts gradually dispelled.

The long journey had already made him tired.

Now that the delicious food was in sight, Neji was no longer polite.

Even if something really happened, it would have to be discussed after eating.

As the two sat down, the middle-aged man quietly left the house and hurried toward the north.

At this time, Neji and the young man were having a meal while chatting and gathering information.

Surprisingly, the young man answered Neji's question very readily, and it could be said that he answered everything he knew.

After a meal, Neji had a sufficient grasp of the location of the Otogakure Ninja Village, the location of Orochimaru, and the process required to surrender.

"So, brother, you don't suggest going directly to Orochimaru's base to find him?"

After the meal, the two of them had become quite familiar with each other.

Neji asked again.

"That's right. Although Orochimaru has always been famous for recruiting talents, there are all kinds of weirdos among his men. If you go there rashly, even if there is no danger, you will inevitably get into a lot of trouble.

"So, I still suggest that you find one of Orochimaru's men as a middleman to help introduce him."

The young man smiled cordially.

At this time, nearly twenty minutes had passed since the two sat down, and the meal was coming to an end.

As he relaxed, Neji suddenly felt danger approaching, and heard a faint sound coming from the side of the door.

Based on the ninja's instinctive perception of danger, Hyuga Neji didn't even have time to open his Byakugan.

I saw him slamming his hands on the table in front of him, rolling backwards and falling down.

The next second, a "bang" was heard in my ears.

Looking closely, there was a dark golden javelin stuck diagonally in the place where we had just eaten.

The javelin was trembling slightly at this time.

The table, as well as the dishes and dishes on the table, had been shattered by the impact and scattered around the javelin.

The white-faced young man was sitting in front of the javelin with his legs spread limply.

His face was as white as a sheet of paper, and his legs were trembling violently from constant use.

"Ah, the shot missed ~ I'm sorry, Yuta."

Looking around, the middle-aged man at the door had returned again.

Next to him, stood a carefree young man with black skin, flapping his hands up and down at the moment, as if just a moment ago, he was just trying to shoot a ball of paper into the trash can.

The boy wore a forehead protector from the Sound Ninja on his forehead. The biggest feature was that he had six arms, like a spider.

He was grinning evilly, and he seemed to be a little younger than Neji.

Seeing the embarrassed look of his companion, the middle-aged man quickly walked to the javelin.

He lifted Yuta up and pulled him to the corner of the room.

"Why did you recruit him?!"

Yuta asked in a low voice.

At this time, his whole body was still trembling, as if he had not yet escaped from the fear of death.

"The amount is too small. None of the other adults are interested except this one."

The middle-aged man seemed to have great respect for Yuta and said apologetically.

“It’s so damn hard to make some extra money.”

Yuta leaned against the wall tremblingly, his teeth still chattering, and his eyes stared at Neji.

At this time, Neji, who had opened his Byakugan, could clearly see that chakra was intensively condensing on the head of the six-armed boy.

The young man's mouth was moving and his cheeks gradually became bulging.

"Ninja: Spider Nest Flower!"

One after another, small spider webs were spit out quickly from the boy's mouth.

Like a blooming flower, it covered Neji from different directions.

Through his Byakugan, Neji clearly saw that chakra was still flowing in the spider web. He did not dare to be careless in his heart, and quickly formed seals with his hands, Yin-Si-Zi-Si-Yin:

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

I saw a wall of water rising suddenly in front of Ningci.

The spider webs that were originally very fast lost their momentum under the impact of the water flow, were scattered and fell to the ground.

Neji looked carefully and found that even if it was stained with water, the threads of the spider web were not broken at all, and the shape remained as it was. It was not as fragile as it looked.

In his heart, he further confirmed the danger of this spider web and the young man in front of him.

"Brother Yuta, you just said you wanted to make a friend. What do you mean?"

Hinata Neji asked loudly.

"Who the hell wants to be friends with you! Konoha's reward has been released. It's two hundred thousand taels for your head."

Xiongtai didn't answer silently, but the strong man beside him answered:

“It’s also a coincidence that the reward order I received just half an hour ago came into the house right after you.

"I've been working at the money exchange for half a year, and I've never seen a bounty object that wasn't a corpse delivered to my door in person! Do you think I can let you go?!"

Money Exchange, a neutral organization in the ninja world.

The forces behind it are unknown.

Strongholds are located in every corner of the ninja world, and they are disguised as various places on weekdays.

We accept bounty business from all villages, organizations, and individuals without distinction. Bounty hunters can hunt according to the bounty list provided by the gold exchange, and exchange the bounty at any stronghold.

Cash settled.

Neji's mind instantly recalled the information he saw in the Konoha Bookstore, and he secretly cried out that he was unlucky.

Neji already knew that he would be subject to a bounty order before he left.

The reason why he wanted to travel at starry night was also to get to Orochimaru's command as soon as possible and escape from the danger of the "reward order".

The original plan should not have any flaws in this aspect.

The time for the reward order will be delayed as much as possible, and the amount will be set as low as possible to avoid arousing the interest of the powerful.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally bumped into these people in front of him.

"Hey, it's game time now, not your time to chat!"

The dark-skinned boy was obviously dissatisfied with Neji's distraction. His mouth bulged again, and he spit out high-density gold paste from his mouth to make a bow shape.

Then the bow string was stretched with spider silk.

In less than three seconds, the heavy bow that Neji had been thinking about for many days was easily created by this young man.
