"You are just a puppet controlled by hatred."

Naruto hoped that Sasuke would not take revenge as his life goal, but he had no reason to deny Sasuke.

He left the two coldly and sped up to the carriage.

"Puppet?"

Sasuke pursed his lips as he looked at Naruto in front of him.

"Sasuke, are you okay? Naruto only said that because of those bad experiences he had..."

Sakura saw that Sasuke looked wrong and quickly comforted him.

"Naruto has lived in such an environment since he was a child, so his temperament is inevitably a little... He has seen too many cold people, and it is not so easy to accept others."

Yes, in Sakura's opinion, Naruto is actually very powerful for not going crazy and being able to talk normally.

In the past few months of getting along, Sakura has also taken the initiative to understand Naruto, so she is very tolerant of him. Of course, the main reason is that she is no match for Naruto whether it is bickering or fighting.

And she has been manipulated by Naruto's various remarks such as "You don't want something".

This caused Sakura to subconsciously think that Naruto was the person who understood her best in the world, and a person is always very tolerant of a companion who understands him very well.

"I understand."

Sasuke nodded. He felt that what Naruto said was absolutely right. He was a puppet who only wanted revenge, and he never even thought about what he should do after the revenge was completed.

I... maybe... no!

That would be too selfish. I must take revenge wholeheartedly!

...

The Frost Country is located in the north of the Fire Country, sandwiched between the Taki Country and the Field Country. The geographical location is very advantageous.

It faces the sea in the north, the economic power of the Fire Country in the south, and the countries with ninja villages that are slightly weaker than it on the left and right. If other major powers want to invade it, they must first defeat the three surrounding countries. It can be said to be very safe.

Both the seaport resources and domestic resources are very good.

Nearby, there is Konoha, the big brother, to protect it, and the Daimyo of the Frost Country and the Daimyo of the Water Country have a close relationship in the distance.

It can be said that in the entire ninja world, apart from the five major countries, the Frost Country lives the most comfortably.

With the background of two major countries, the Frost Country can be said to be one of the few countries that has not been traumatized by the Ninja World War.

"Nishikawa-san, I found that the closer to the Frost Country, the more monks there are!"

Naruto looked at the monks in almost every ten people walking along the road, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"One out of ten people is a monk. They don't produce anything. Can the country afford it?"

"Actually, they don't produce anything."

Nishikawa Kasumi looked at the young boy carrying a wooden sword (stick) on his back, and remembered that it was the most interesting to chat with Naruto along the way, and she had a very high liking for Naruto, so she smiled and said.

"The Frost Village in our Frost Country is actually a village founded by ninja monks.

It is not convenient to talk about the specific reasons.

I can only tell you that later, because many of our nobles began to believe in Buddhism, the preferential treatment for monks was also strengthened.

The policy of the Frost Country is that as long as you become a monk with pious faith, you can be exempted from three layers of taxes, so many men who can't afford to marry a wife shaved their heads and became monks."

"Oh~ Mr. Nishikawa, which Buddha does the Frost Country believe in?"

Naruto nodded somewhat suddenly. Although he was a little curious about the secret that could not be told, he did not intend to delve into it.

As for the exemption of 30% of taxes by shaving your head, those bachelors who can't marry are poor to begin with, how could they not be tempted?

At worst, you can save enough money and then grow your hair to marry a wife. Besides, there is no concept here that your body and hair are inherited from your parents.

"Naruto, people are very realistic. If it were you, which Buddha would you believe in?"

Xia Xichuan suddenly remembered that the boy mentioned money when he first met her, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Of course it's the Buddha who can bring me wealth!"

Naruto also laughed.

"After all, few people don't like money."

"That's right, when those monks who changed their ways heard that believing in the Bodhisattva of the Void would make them rich, they were all very pious!"

Xia Xichuan also laughed a little. Isn't exempting 30% of taxes a disguised form of wealth?

"Hehe~ You people are really realistic!"

Sakura curled her lips with some disdain. Obviously, love is the greatest!

"Well, money is valuable, but love is more valuable."

Kakashi also expressed his opinion.

"Teacher Kakashi is right!" Sakura quickly praised.

"You think love is more valuable because you didn't give enough money!" Naruto retorted without hesitation.

"The reality is that people work hard for money."

"You don't understand love at all!""You don't understand money at all!"

"I don't understand money, but I have plenty of it!"

"Then you understand love so well, why are you still a single dog?"

"I'm not a dog, the Inuzuka family is."

"Ahhh! I'm so angry! It's not a big deal to be rich!"

"Yeah, that's right."

"... You childish guys."

Sasuke looked at the two camps in front of him who started bickering fiercely for no reason, and couldn't help but muttered helplessly.

It should be Naruto who is out of tune with everyone, why is it that he, a normal person, seems to be out of place?

"I say, we will soon enter the territory of the Frost Country, everyone cheer up!"

Sasuke saw that his teammates were unreliable, so he had to interrupt everyone's quarrel loudly.

"Well~ Don't worry, the official roads of the two countries are connected, it's very safe."

Kakashi waved his hand indifferently. He has done a lot of B-level missions. Except for going to real small countries, he rarely met ninjas. Even if he met the strongest one, it was only a Chunin.

With the current strength of Team 7, he doesn't even need to take action himself to deal with the Chunin.

"That's right, Sasuke, you're too careful. As long as we don't run into the Kages of the villages, we can walk sideways. My sword is invincible!"

Naruto drew out the wooden sword and waved it calmly, as if even the Kage-level strongmen in the world could not make him a little afraid.

There are only a dozen people in the world who can be called "Kage". I shouldn't be so unlucky, right?

Naruto felt a little timid.

"Huh? Everyone! It seems to smell blood!"

Sakura suddenly stopped and her nostrils twitched slightly.

"The smell of blood seems to be covered by the smell of some herb. I remember! It's snakeweed!"

"Huh? Snakeweed?"

In fact, Naruto had smelled the smell a long time ago. At first, he thought it was the smell of some animal along the way mixed with the smell of grass. Unexpectedly, it was to cover up the smell of blood.

Sakura is worthy of being a superb theoretical student!

She can even distinguish this!

"Teacher Kakashi! Shall we go and take a look?"

Naruto asked in a hurry, shouting, he wanted to save people.

"Dare to make trouble in front of me, I must make them pay!"

"Our mission is to escort Miss Nishikawa." Kakashi was unmoved. Ninjas only need to complete their duties, and don't worry about other things.

"But..."

Naruto hesitated when he heard this. Problems at the border were actually very serious. It might affect the relationship between the two ninja villages of Fire and Frost.

If something happened because of this, the civilians would always be hurt.

"Things here are naturally handled by the ninja army at the border. We don't need to meddle in other people's business and..."

We may not have the strength to save people.

Kakashi shook his head at Naruto, but still didn't say anything provocative.

"If we go rashly, we might be mistaken for murderers."

"And we also have to consider the safety of Miss Nishikawa. She is just an ordinary person."

Sasuke also spoke at this time.

"Our first mission is to escort Miss Nishikawa, Naruto, you should trust the ninja army at the border."

"I..."
