Huang nodded slightly without saying anything more, because he didn't know why this renowned figure would seek him out.

Could it be that we encountered each other at the port and saw something suspicious?

Do not,

That's probably impossible.

Out of caution, his subordinates did not choose to stay in the Land of Hot Water, but instead set sail for the Land of Waves after a brief resupply by the crew.

Incidentally, the ninja known as the 'hunting ninja' was also among them.

The reason why Huang kept them was simple.

The Exploding Insects cultivated by the Xuanyuan Clan are a very interesting ability, and they are an unstoppable killing move against unsuspecting enemies.

Moreover, these five people are not like those Snow Ninja who become worthless once they lose their 'Chakra Armor'.

On the contrary, their long-term involvement in underground missions has given them considerable skill in assassination, making them a perfect fit for Zabuza Momochi, who already belonged to the Anbu.

With the hypothetical enemy being a behemoth like Konoha, Ara cherished every bit of his strength.

While he was silently pondering why that being had suddenly appeared before him and even initiated a conversation, the other party continued speaking on its own:

"Big brother, this is actually what happened."

"My sister, Tonton, and I went to the Land of Hot Springs for a trip."

"Oh, Tuntun is a very cute little pig."

As she spoke, the blonde girl pointed to a corner of the street, where a short-haired woman was holding a pink pig and nodding apologetically in their direction.

This directly confirms the other party's true identity, and it was not a coincidence that they encountered a little guy with a similar physique.

"But after we got here, we met some bad guys who stole my sister's and my wallets using very despicable means."

“We begged for a long time, but no one was willing to help us because those bad guys are the local bullies, and there are several of them who are wandering ninjas. Everyone is afraid of them.”

"Just when we felt helpless, we met you, big brother."

"I've heard from people back home that the ninjas of Konoha are all good people, so I'd like to borrow some money from you as travel expenses to get home. Is that alright?"

"My sister and I haven't eaten all day, and we don't have a place to stay tonight."

"It's really too scary outside. I will never go out to play again."

Overwhelmed with emotion, the little one slowly suppressed the smile and innocence on his face, and even symbolically raised his hand to rub his slightly red eyes.

His pitiful appearance was so endearing.

“Eh,”

“Those guys are really outrageous.”

Hearing this, Huang's vigilance gradually decreased.

After all, being 'penniless' is the norm for this being, and the local bullies he mentioned are probably the casinos he runs in the Land of Hot Water.

Of course, the most important point is that he and this little girl had no prior interaction, the only connection being the headband she wore on her forehead.

"Yes, that's what I mean!"

“Those bad people saw that my sister and I were strangers, so they used despicable means to deceive us.”

The little girl echoed the former's words, her words filled with grievance.

"Then, I'll help you."

Huang said softly.

"Ah, really?"

"Thank you so much, big brother. My sister and I just need some money for our trip home."

The little guy, having received a response, didn't doubt him and fully displayed the liveliness and excitement that a child should have.

"Sister, come quickly, this brother from Konoha is willing to help us."

However, before she could continue to get excited, before the woman holding the pink piglet could get closer, Yu Zhi heard the so-called 'brother' add:

"How can a little bit of travel money be enough?"

"Of course we should get it all back."

“Let’s just wipe out those wandering ninjas who even cheat children.”

"After all, if we leave it unchecked, other travelers will be deceived in the future."

"Of course you're right, the ninjas of Konoha are all good people, so I will eliminate them completely and won't let you suffer any further retaliation."

"Then lead the way, little friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible aura of killing intent suddenly poured down from Huang's body.

The sheer sense of impending doom not only made Tsunade, in her smaller form, freeze, but also sent a chill down the spines of Shizune, who was slowly approaching, and the little pig in her arms.

This is the kind of power that only a ninja who has truly experienced the battlefield and whose hands are stained with blood can unleash!

How could such a young boy in this era unleash such murderous intent?

Such questions roared in Tsunade's mind.

You should know that she only approached the other person because she thought he was young and looked like he hadn't experienced the harsh realities of life, which is why she tried to gain his sympathy.

But now, he has no doubt about what the other party said about the follow-up.

Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no one alive.

This style of doing things involuntarily reminded him of someone.

A ninja who also belonged to Konohagakure:

Danzo Shimura!

Who exactly is he?

Could it be a war machine secretly cultivated within its roots?

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and your sister's safety."

"Sa, let's go."

Seeing the stunned little girl in front of him, Huang continued to invite her.

After all, are all the ninjas of Konoha good people?

How could he possibly accept such a vague statement?

"Feel sorry."

"I'm sorry, my young lady is a bit naughty. I don't know if she offended you somewhere. Please don't take it to heart."

“I’ll take her away now.”

Although she didn't know the specific reasons or the turning point, the boy's sharp killing intent still made Shizune, who was holding Tuntun, feel uneasy.

While hastily apologizing, she subtly shielded the blonde girl behind her.

Given Tsunade's current condition, it is absolutely forbidden for her to have any conflict with ninjas or engage in any other activities.

Even the ninjas of Konoha are no exception.

Seeing this, the little princess of the Senju clan immediately shrank into Shizune's body, pretending to be very scared.

However, several genuine doubts still lingered in his mind.

Who exactly is this boy in front of me?

Why did you appear alone in the Land of Hot Springs?

What is his purpose? Why do I feel a strange hostility and repulsion when Konoha is mentioned?

[Or perhaps, this guy is a ninja from another faction, trying to disguise himself and cross the border?]

After all, during this period, Konoha's genin would not go out alone.

Even if the Root ninjas openly show their faces in public, they shouldn't possess such rich emotions.

Those guys, like their leaders, had a rotten, dark smell buried in the soil.

"He is indeed a bit mischievous."

"So, in the future, if you lose your wallet, don't try to shift the blame to others."

"Otherwise it will cause trouble for many people, little girl."

Huang changed his tone, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Of course, the murderous intent lingering beside him also vanished instantly.

[A little girl?]

[Tch, getting lectured by a brat always makes me angry!]

Since you saw through it all along, why didn't you say so sooner?

Hidden behind Shizune, Tsunade began to sulk.

If one day I feel like going back to Konoha, I will definitely teach that little bastard a lesson.

"Yes, yes, I'm very sorry."

"It was my young lady who disturbed you. We'll leave now."

The woman holding Tun Tun bowed gently in apology.

Ultimately, it's all Tsunade's fault for losing all her money!

As for directly revealing one's identity, that's impossible.

Otherwise, the reputation of the Three Legendary Sannin would be completely ruined, especially in front of a junior.

However, just as Shizune was leading the pouting blonde girl away...

"Want to take a gamble, little girl?"

The boy who had fallen behind suddenly spoke up.

The abrupt question instantly made Tsunade's back tense, and even Shizune, who was holding a pink pig, couldn't help but furrow her brows and stumble slightly.
