Konoha Qiweiju

Konoha fifty-sixth year, July 5th weather: cloudy

The situation in Kirigakure becomes more and more complicated.

With Yagura's serious injury, Kirigakure's pace of expelling the Kaikai clan seems to have accelerated.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets of the village.

Maybe, it's time for me to leave.

This village may usher in new life, or it may usher in destruction.

…

Qiweiju.

Zhenxiu hugged the meat ball and looked at the fog outside the window.

"Rouqiu, look, the people in this village may not be able to hold on anymore. The butcher's knife didn't hit them, but it affected their lives."

"Well, everyone is like this. But to put it bluntly, what's the use of their objections. They are just a group of civilians."

The real cultivator shrugged, noncommittal.

Indeed, a group of civilians are nothing in the eyes of ninjas. No matter how much they oppose, it is of no use.

One chuunin can wipe them all out.

"It seems we have to leave this village. There is no market."

Zhen Xiu smiled.

"up to you."

Meatball doesn't care where he lives, as long as he follows true cultivation, it's enough.

Zhenxiu rubbed the soft hair of the meatball. In troubled times, it would be nice to have such a cat by his side.

Fortunately, Meatball is not an ordinary cat, and his lifespan will definitely be longer than Zhenxiu's, so Zhenxiu doesn't have to worry about dying young.

Unknowingly, this orange cat has become the true cultivator's biggest dependence.

Ring ring ring.

The wind chime at the door rang, and guests arrived.

"welcome."

Shinshu said with a smile, but saw that the person coming was Terumi Mei.

At this moment, she had a frosty look on her face and seemed to be in a very bad mood.

Terumi Mei didn't say anything and just found a place to sit down.

"What's wrong with the guest?"

Zhen Xiu is curious.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little angry. Boss, get me a bowl of white fungus soup."

"Okay. Guest, please wait a moment."

Although I don’t know why Terumi Mei is angry, but as a boss, the reasonable needs of customers should be granted.

A few minutes later, a bowl of white fungus soup appeared in front of Terumi Mei.

After taking three sips, Terumi Mei felt that her anger had dropped a lot.

"This is the first time a guest has come here in such a hurry."

Zhenxiu said with a smile.

Looking at Shinshu's gentle smile, Mei Terumi seemed to relax a little.

"Boss, sometimes I really envy you."

"Oh? Why do you envy me?"

Really cultivate the way of surprise.

"Every time I see you, you have a smile on your face, as if nothing can trouble you."

"Perhaps the things that bother me have already been through. Now I have nothing to worry about."

Looking at Shinshu's abyss-like eyes, Terumi Mei suddenly felt that the middle-aged man in front of him who looked about forty years old seemed to have a different story.

"Boss, I haven't heard your story yet, can you tell me?"

Terumi Mei asked curiously.

"My story is very simple. My mother died not long after I was born. There were six brothers and sisters in my family, and I was the youngest. When I was eighteen years old, there was only one sister left among the six brothers and sisters.

A few years later, my father also passed away. Not long after, my brother-in-law died, and my close friend who had been with him for many years also died. Finally, my sister also died.

The juniors who I thought were pretty good also passed away in the past few years."

Terumi Mei was stunned when she heard this. There was only one simple word in Zhen Xiu's story.

That is death.

It seemed like everyone associated with him ended up dead.

"Boss, I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness."

"It doesn't matter, I've already looked away."

Zhenxiu said with a smile, as if those things were other people's stories and he just mentioned them casually.

At this moment, Terumi Mei naturally doesn't think that Zhen Xiu is big-hearted.

Behind that smile, I don't know how much sadness is hidden.

It's just that some sadness can only be left to yourself in the end.

"Boss, I remember the wine here is pretty good. How about we have a couple of drinks?"

Terumi Mei suddenly said.

"Of course, as long as you pay for the drinks, it's easy."

Zhen Xiu smiled.

"I didn't expect you, boss, to be a profiteer. Okay, I'll treat you to a drink today, boss. Come on!"

"good."

Zhenxiu took out the wine called Zui Sheng Meng Si and put it on the table, and at the same time took out two wine glasses.

The refreshing wine was filled, Terumi Mei picked it up and poured a glass into her mouth.

"This wine has such a wonderful taste."

Terumi Mei said in surprise that she had never drunk this kind of wine.

"This wine is specially made by me and cannot be bought outside. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied! It's really good stuff."

Terumi Mei said and drank another glass.

Maybe there was something on his mind, or maybe this wine really suited Terumi Mei's taste.

In just a quarter of an hour, Terumi Mei drank two bottles.

“What a comforting wine.”

Terumi Mei's eyes were half-squinted, looking a little drunk.

"You seem to be in a bad mood today, what's wrong?"

Shinshu asked curiously, Terumi Mei was indeed a little out of sorts.

Terumi Mei's expression was slightly hesitant.

"If you can't say it, forget it."

"No, there is nothing that cannot be said. In two days, the entire ninja world will know this news."

"Um?"

Really cultivate the way of surprise.

"Another elite ninja defected in the village. He assassinated Lord Mizukage and fled after the failure."

Zhenxiu was stunned.

At this point in time...

Is it Zabuza?

"You should also know him. He often comes here to eat. He's the guy who likes to eat salt-roasted saury."

Hearing this, Zhen Xiu was even more convinced.

"It turns out to be the guy with no eyebrows and a very fierce look."

"Yes, yes, that's that guy. What a reckless man, actually doing something like assassination. Even if you want to change Kirigakure, this method is really too stupid."

Terumi Mei's words were mixed with a tone that said she hated the iron.

Obviously, Terumi Mei didn't agree with Zabuza's approach.

"He is a reckless man, but also a brave man."

Zhenxiu suddenly said with emotion.

"Warrior? Yes, he is a warrior. How many people in Kirigakure have such courage as him? Every time a person like this is gone, there will be one less person. Now Kirigakure needs such people the most. This reckless man! There are obviously more

Good idea!"

Mei Terumi shouted angrily and slammed the wine glass in her hand on the table. The glass shattered instantly, shocking Shinsu.

"This... reckless man!"

Terumi Mei murmured and actually fell asleep.

"This woman is really big-hearted..."

Zhenxiu smiled and shook his head. He dared to get drunk in this strange place. As a ninja, his vigilance was too low.

How could Zhenxiu know that Terumi Mei's mood is extremely complicated now.

Zabuza's defection was a huge loss to her.
