Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

His escape ability is already sufficient. If he were to add the Flying Thunder God Technique, then the enemy would be able to do whatever he wants from a distance and would be unable to get close to him.

Furthermore, there are actually several characters in the Naruto world who can use the Rasengan. He could gradually add more characters who can use the Rasengan after making the Naruto world gacha pool a permanent gacha pool.

Ron also felt that this third ability was very strong, perfectly matching his current pursuit of improving his five senses and reaction speed, but he still had to give way to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As for Ability 5, although it has no side effects and is an S-rank sealing trump card, it is still too few occasions to be used.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, which has the fourth ability, has been localized by the system into a noble space magic, so I would definitely choose it myself.

Ron didn't equip the character card right away. Instead, he waited for his carriage to arrive at the next town before equipping the [Minato Namikaze] card.

He can finally earn those 1000 popularity points while playing the role.

Just as he was silently thinking about how to quickly improve the performance level of this A-level character card, the temperature outside the carriage began to drop noticeably.

A gust of cold wind slipped in through the crack in the car window, and Ron shivered slightly, looking up at the outside.

In the hazy sky, a few scattered white snowflakes began to fall.

As the carriage traveled further north, the changes in climate gradually became apparent.

The snowfall was not heavy; the white snowflakes simply landed lightly on the withered grass and soil beside the road, covering them with a little bit of frost.

"Brother Ron!"

The voice of the coachman could be heard outside the carriage.

Ron pulled back the windshield curtains and listened carefully to what the driver had to say.

"Look at the weather. Although the snow around here isn't heavy, we've still entered the northern territory."

I see a small village not far ahead. Shall we go there and rest for a while?

The driver pointed into the distance, and Ron followed his finger and indeed saw the outline of a village built against the mountain, with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys of the small houses.

Ron naturally wouldn't refuse and quickly agreed with the driver.

"Then there's no need to rush. Let's go straight to the town ahead."

Ron lowered the curtains and then gave instructions to the coachman:

"Let's stay in this town for a few more days, and you can let the horses rest properly."

"no problem!"

The coachman readily agreed, cracked his whip, and urged the two horses to continue forward.

Tap tap~ Tap tap~

The carriage left two clear tracks on the thin layer of snow as it headed towards the small town to the north.

Chapter 42 An Unexpected Encounter, Three Siblings

"According to the hotel owner's description, it seems to be in this vicinity."

Ron, dressed in winter clothes, is following the hotel owner's instructions to find a suitable performance venue.

He decided to stay in this remote village for a few days and, incidentally, put on another storytelling performance to build up his popularity.

They stayed temporarily at the only inn in the village, and after settling their horses, they asked the owner if there was any open space where they could put on an outdoor performance.

Finally, they learned that there was a fairly spacious open space nearby that no one usually lingered in, making it perfect for a performance.

Ron planned to scout the place out in advance, so after putting his luggage away, he slipped out of the hotel.

He walked in the direction the innkeeper had described, admiring the scenery around the village as he went.

Even though this town isn't as big as Magnolia City, it has all the necessary buildings and is much more complete than the Dust Town that Ron visited before.

However, Ron noticed something was amiss. The residents passing by on the street kept staring at him, but not with enthusiasm; instead, they gave him indifferent looks.

Ron frowned, noticing that every resident who passed by immediately noticed his appearance, all giving him the same look, exuding an air of xenophobia.

Ron thought for a moment, was it because I was from out of town that they noticed me and were wary of me?

Ron then realized that it was only natural to be wary of outsiders; perhaps there were just too few outsiders coming here.

Finally, Ron walked around a row of dilapidated back walls and saw the open space the hotel owner had described.

Ron thought the location was good and smiled with satisfaction.

"Waaaaah..."

Just then, a sobbing sound came from behind Ron, making him turn around.

Ron followed the sound and saw a slightly chubby boy with short white hair sitting on the ground crying. Beside him was a little girl with white hair, gently patting his back and softly comforting him.

Ron paused for a moment, a look of surprise in his eyes, his mouth slightly agape.

Seeing the two children, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Could it be them...?

He leaned closer and heard the white-haired little girl's comforting words, which confirmed their identities.

"It's alright, Brother Elfman, what they said isn't true, don't take it to heart."

Ron took a deep breath, surprised by the unexpected joy.

Yes, it was them. He actually ran into Lisanna and Elfman here.

It was only then that Lisanna and Elfman noticed a child approaching them, and they looked on with puzzled expressions.

Ron felt a sense of kinship seeing the two children and bent down to greet them with a grin.

"Oh, what happened?"

Crying in this weather will make you catch a cold!

"No, it's nothing."

Upon hearing Ron's words, Elfman quickly wiped away his tears, sniffed, and stammered.

Lisanna smiled at Ron and said:

"It's just a small thing, my brother cries too much."

"It's good that you're alright."

Ron smiled and nodded in response, and continued to inquire.

That's enough. We'll be staying here a while anyway, so we can ask more questions later.

"Big brother, are you from out of town?"

This is the first time I've seen you appear.

Seeing that Ron's face was unfamiliar, Lisanna asked him a question.

The two men were amazed by Ron's natural and unintentional approach to them.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Just as Ron was about to reply, a girl's figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Ron turned his head and saw a white-haired girl rushing towards him.

The girl had long white hair tied in a small topknot. She was dressed in a delinquent outfit, and her expression was not friendly.

She came to Ron, pulled Elfman and Lisanna behind her, and spread her arms to protect them.

She stared at Ron with a wary look, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Ron was taken aback when he saw the girl staring at him like that, then he smiled knowingly.

Since Elfman and Lisanna are here, it's not surprising that Mirajane is here as well.

The three people in front of me, each with their own distinct personality, are none other than the Strauss family, a pair of siblings who will later join the Fairy Tail guild.

The older sister was none other than the white-haired delinquent who had been baring her teeth at him, Milaje Strauss.

Elfman, the second brother, hiding behind his eldest sister with a terrified expression, and Lisanna, the youngest of the three.

Mirajane's vigilance grew even stronger as she saw Ron still looking indifferent.

What's wrong with this guy? That kidnapping smile makes Mirajane feel like this person is very bad.

"Who are you, and what are you trying to do by getting close to them?"

"You're in cahoots with the guys who bullied Elfman, aren't you?"

Ron's smile froze instantly, followed by a helpless look in his eyes.

"Sister, it's not him, you've misunderstood, it's not him."

When Elfman realized that his sister had misunderstood, he quickly helped Ron clarify the situation.

"Yes, Mira, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Lisana quickly echoed.

"Huh?"

Mirajane paused for a moment, turned her head, and looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law with a surprised expression, as if asking if it was true or not.

After they both nodded, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked a little embarrassed.

But when she turned back, she still gave Ron a wary look and said firmly:

Even if they're right, you don't look like a good person.

You haven't answered my question yet!

Ron sighed when he saw Mirajane's insistence.

He cleared his throat and then formally introduced himself.

“My full name is Ron White, I am the head of the Pure White Theatre Company, and a storyteller who just happened to be passing by.”

"A storyteller?"

Mirajane looked puzzled.

"Yes, I plan to stay here for a few days before heading back."

Ron nodded, then took a stack of Pure White Theatre Company flyers from a bag hanging to the side and handed them over.

Mirajane glanced at the flyer in Ron's hand with some skepticism. Finding nothing suspicious, she carefully took the flyer away.

She looked at it carefully and saw that the flyer was indeed for a storytelling performance by the Pure White Theatre Company. Only then did her wariness towards Ron lessen slightly.

Mirajane looked at the flyer in her hand, and after confirming that everything was in order, her guarded expression lessened somewhat.

She looked away somewhat awkwardly, crossed her arms, and mumbled something indistinctly.

"I misunderstood, I'm sorry."

Chapter 43 gave them a little shock.

"It's alright, don't worry about it."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief and didn't intend to dwell on Mirajane's problem.

"I will be giving a free performance here tonight. You are welcome to come and watch if you are interested."

Ron approached Lisanna and Elfman and handed them a flyer as well.

Lisanna and Elfman looked on with anticipation when they saw the story on the flyer.

Their location is very remote, with little contact with the outside world and limited entertainment options. Naturally, they would be interested in a performance they've never seen before, as it's their first time witnessing such a show.

"Brother Ron, what exactly is that ninja on your flyer?"

"Yeah, brother, what's a Naruto?"

Lisanna and Elfman approached Ron and asked him questions out of curiosity.

"You'll see when you come to see the show."

Ron crouched down, acting mysterious, and played the riddle-teller on them.

Mirajane smiled as she saw her younger siblings' eyes shining as they happily asked Ron about his performance.

Seeing that they all looked interested, Ron casually continued his promotion.
