I don't believe in the will of fire

"of course not!"

Yahiko said it without any thought. With an angry expression on his face, under the gaze of Shenyue, he mustered up the courage to say: "It's obvious that those people are bastards who want to steal our food. Sister Mai didn't do anything."

Anything wrong."

"Oh, don't you think it was because Mai helped that woman and revealed that we have food here that we provoked them?"

"What's the matter?" Yahiko said resolutely: "It's not Sister Mai who is at fault, it's those bastards."

"What about you, Konan, do you think it's Mai's fault?"

Xiaonan shook her head and said firmly: "No, how could it be wrong to help others? Sister Mai is right."

"good."

Shenyue looked at Mai, who was a little frightened, and struck her head again.

"Remember, don't impose other people's mistakes on yourself. As the two of them said, you have no fault in this matter."

Feeling Shenyue's comfort, Mai's expression finally returned to normal, but she still asked with some confusion.

"Then why do they still come to steal our food? In this case, shouldn't everyone be considerate and help each other?"

Shenyue sighed and did not answer her.

"You have to find the answer yourself. You won't understand it even if I tell you."

"Okay, it's almost time to rest. It's time for us to leave, but..."

Shenyue said, looking at the people around him who were watching him, and sighed.

"It looks like we're going to separate."

After leaving the main force, the four of them rushed faster. With Shenyue's perception, they were able to avoid most dangers.

In this way, five days later, looking at the clear sky and the bright sun above their heads, everyone finally arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

“So comfortable!”

Feeling the warm sun, the haze accumulated in Shenyue's mind during the past two months in the Country of Rain also dissipated.

Mai, Konan, and Yahiko also looked like they were enjoying themselves very much.

Just looking at the tired expressions and wet clothes of a few people, he was still a little embarrassed. He recalled it and said: "I remember there is a small town ahead. We have been traveling for four days. Where should we go to rest for a day and eat

Have a good meal and then set off."

Shenyue is quite familiar with the Fire Country. In the past few years, he has been performing tasks in the Fire Country. He has done no less than 300 tasks below A level. It can be said that every place in the Fire Country has

relatively familiar.

The exhausted three people naturally had no objection.

Soon the four of them came to this small town called Uemachi. Although it was only on the border of the Land of Fire and only a dozen kilometers away from the Land of Rain, the lively and vibrant atmosphere in the whole town still made them...

The three people who came from a war-torn place like the Kingdom of Rain were a little uncomfortable.

It can even be said that there is a huge difference. The most obvious thing is that all the children here have rosy complexions and look like they are eating and drinking well, unlike Konan and Yahiko, who look sallow and thin.

The appearance of the four people inevitably attracted the attention of the people in Kamimachi Town. There was no way, but in the past two days, the news that the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Fire were about to go to war had spread throughout the entire town.

Shenyue took them to a familiar hotel. The proprietress of the hotel was a chubby woman. After seeing Shenyue, her red lips squeezed into a circle with joy.

"Hohoho, isn't this Lord Shenyue? Why are you here with my sister? You're still looking so embarrassed. Did you go out on a mission?"

"Mrs. Okita, we meet again. I'm here to stay overnight this time. I hope I won't disturb you too much."

"How could it be? If you hadn't taught those wandering ninjas who eat and drink for free, my store would have closed down a long time ago. I haven't even thanked you yet. By the way, who are these three children?"

"They are my friends, please help them arrange a house."

"No problem. Is it okay to give the two girls a room, the boy a room, and you the rest?"

"No need to do this, just arrange two rooms in total, one for the two girls, and one for me and him."

"Eh..."

Yahiko saw Shenyue pointing at him and felt a little nervous at the thought of staying in the same room as Shenyue.

"no problem!"

"By the way, please prepare a set of clean clothes for us. Here's the money."

"Shenyue-kun and sister, why should I be so polite?" Although she said this, Mrs. Okita still collected the banknotes.

"Okay, let's go to the house to change clothes, take a bath, and then have a sleep. In the evening, we will soak in the hot springs together."

When they heard that there was a hot spring to soak in, the three of them had stars in their eyes, and then they walked towards the guest room under the guidance of the waiter.

Because everyone was very tired, after changing clothes and taking a shower, they fell asleep comfortably.

This was also the first time for several people to sleep on such a comfortable bed in a long time. As a result, several people slept straight into the night. If they hadn't thought about taking a hot spring bath at night, they might have been able to continue sleeping.

Although the four of them are all children to a certain extent, due to shyness, the men and women are still separated. However, because there is a row of bamboo boards between the two pools, they can still hear each other talking.

Konan was fine because she was in the women's bath with Mai, but Yahiko was so nervous that half of his head was soaked in the pool since he entered the pool. He didn't dare to say anything and only dared to peek at Shenyue with his eyes.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Shenyue actually found it quite interesting.

"No...it's not..."

Although Yahiko was indeed afraid of Shenyue, how could he tell the truth? He could only cover it up nervously. He accidentally forgot that he was still soaking in the pool and took several sips of bath water.

Seeing this, Shenyue also felt a little funny and chatted slowly.

"Were you and Xiaonan both born in Yu Ninja Village since childhood?"

"Yeah." Yahiko nodded.

"What about your parents?"

Yahiko's eyes turned sad.

"Two years ago, due to the war, our village wanted to move away from the Rain Ninja Village. However, on the way, we entered a ninja battlefield and they were directly bombed to death."

"What about Xiaonan?"

"She was abandoned by her family."

Although the voice was very weak, Shenyue could still hear Xiaonan crying in the bath behind her.

"It's really tragic."

In such a comparison, the ninjas and people who lived in the era of Konoha's Twelve Strong were really lucky. Even Naruto and Sasuke were relatively happy compared to Konan and Yahiko.

At least you don't have to live such a precarious life, where you could die anytime, anywhere.

Shenyue did not continue on this topic and just said.

"Mai should have given you all the methods of chakra training."

"Uh-huh."

"Then take advantage of the opportunity. I will also teach you some ninjutsu later. Only when you have the power to protect yourself can you control your own destiny."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Yahiko's expression and walked out of the hot spring.

"You guys just hang out for now, I'll go outside to get some information and we'll have dinner together later."
