Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 178 You want me to pay?

Now that it has been confirmed that he has nothing to do with the daimyo's daughter, Onoki did not linger in the daimyo's mansion in the Land of Earth.

On the way back, Onoki was still thinking.

The information Lu Shi provided was very detailed, and he had read it. Based on common sense, he deduced that what Lu Shi said was correct.

After reading the intelligence, his first reaction was that Old Purple had eloped with the daimyo's daughter.

It doesn't seem plausible to insist that this is a case of the deer being the culprit.

"Well, at least it's a good thing that the daimyo's daughter didn't elope with Ooshi. Let's go back and update the intelligence." Onoki sighed and sped up.

Meanwhile, Shikatoki and Koto had already arrived in the capital of the Land of Lightning.

Compared to other cities in the Land of Lightning, the capital city is definitely the most prosperous.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was packed with people.

Looking at so many people, Huang Tu was somewhat bewildered. "There are just too many people here. If Lao Zi really stays here, how long will it take us to find him!"

Lu Shi stroked his chin, his tone relaxed, "No rush, let's find a place to stay first, and we can find people slowly."

"That's all we can do."

After checking into a hotel, Huang Tu led his men to find someone.

Lu Shi was lying in the hotel, with Kurama beside him. "Found it?"

"Hmm, as soon as I got to this area, I sensed Son Goku's presence, but the Four-Tails Jinchuriki seems to be in a bit of a bad state." Kurama yawned and casually pointed to the menu in front of him with his paw. "I want to eat this."

Lu Shi glanced at the menu and nodded. "Order one for me too. You said Lao Zi isn't feeling well, and her life is in danger?"

"You're already in Sage Mode, so you can sense it for yourself."

7

"You've already sensed it, it's too much trouble for me to sense it too. Hurry up, do you still want to eat?"

Kurama rolled his eyes at Shikatoki's words. "You're just lazy. The Four-Tails Jinchuriki isn't in any life-threatening danger, but he seems a bit down. What was that thing you said before?"

Are you depressed?

"Yes, yes, this is it."

"Holy crap, who is this awesome person? They even made the Jinchūriki depressed." Shikatoshi scratched his head, then asked with some confusion, "By the way, what about the daughter of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth? She eloped with someone, so what's there to be depressed about?"

"I've never seen the daughter of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, how would I know where she went?" Kurama said speechlessly.

"Are you stupid! The woman next to Old Purple is definitely the daughter of the daimyo of the Land of Earth!"

"The daimyo of that land has quite a few daughters."

Lu Shi was taken aback by what the Nine Lamas said.

"What do you mean?"

"I can't describe it well, you'll have to feel it for yourself."

Lu Shi's natural energy spread out, quickly locking onto Lao Zi's location. He was immediately alarmed. "Holy crap! This guy eloped with the lord's daughter and still went to a brothel?! Wait! Why is he so depressed? Did the lord's daughter dump him?!"

"Is the famous daughter actually a scumbag who uses and discards people?"

Lu Shi fell into deep thought.

Just as Lu Shi was about to go see Lao Zi, Huang Tu rushed in in a hurry.

"Lu Shijun, great news! Huge, fantastic news!"

Looking at the beaming faces of the yellow earth, Lu Shi asked, somewhat puzzled, "What good news?"

"The daimyo's daughter never eloped with Ooshi, you see!"

Huang Tu placed a newly delivered intelligence report into Lu Shi's hand.

Opening the intelligence report, it contained news that Onoki had brought back from the Land of Earth.

After looking around, Shikatoki was also dumbfounded. "If he didn't elope with the daimyo's daughter, then why did Old Purple run away? Does your Iwagakure village restrict Jinchuriki from marrying?!"

Seeing the strange look in Lu Shi's eyes, Huang Tu's lips twitched slightly. "Lu Shi-kun! How could such a thing be possible!"

"Then why do you think Lao Zi ran away?"

"Maybe he just came out to clear his head?" Huang Tu said somewhat uncertainly.

"hehe."

Lu Shi stared silently at the yellow earth. "When you travel, do you erase all traces of yourself?"

"Forehead--"

Huang Tu was also puzzled as to why Lao Zi was doing this.

Lu Shi stood up. "Let's go. I've found the person. Let's ask him directly."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tu's face lit up with joy. "Really?! Then let's go right away!"

The group headed to the brothel.

As soon as he entered, the madam greeted him, ignoring the yellow dust and immediately trying to stick herself to Lu Shi. "Hey handsome young man, come have some fun!"

Lu Shi reached out to stop the madam, "You go about your business, we have appointments with friends, we'll go by ourselves."

Upon hearing this, the madam winked at the deer, "Young man, just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to fulfill it."

Lu Shi remained silent, simply pulling Huang Tu into Lao Zi's private room.

"What's the matter?" Old Zi looked up drunkenly, paused when he saw the Nara deer, and then sobered up instantly when he saw the yellow earth beside him.

This was almost an instinctive action.

Just as Lao Zi was about to rush out the window to escape, Lu Shi grabbed his shoulder.

The hostesses around them retreated in fear.

"You all go out first, we'll chat with our friends." Lu Shi's words were like a pardon to the women, who quickly bowed their heads and left.

They dared not get involved in ninja matters.

"I didn't realize you were so adept at this!" Shikatoki sealed Rōshi's chakra, then sat down at the table with Kurama and started eating. "There's hardly any food here, you've just been drinking!"

Lu Shi walked outside and said, "Could you please bring some more good dishes?"

"Okay."

Watching Shikatoki's practiced movements, Old Purple's eyes twitched slightly, but he was in no mood to care about Nara Shikatoki right now.

Huang Tu had several genin guard the door, then excitedly walked over, "Old Zi, what exactly are you doing? Why did you suddenly disappear? My father and I are so worried!"

"Dad even brought Nara Shikatoki here to find you."

Looking at Huang Tu's anxious and confused face, Lao Zi wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and said, "Can you stop asking? I just want to come out for a trip, is that not allowed? The Land of Earth is so boring, I want to come out and relax."

Huang Tu was taken aback. He had just said the same thing to Lu Shi, but he himself hadn't believed it at the time.

"You're just traveling, why did you come to the Land of Thunder?! And you even erased all traces of yourself, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Ah! Tell me! What is the reason?" Huang Tu slammed his fist on the table, clearly not believing Lao Zi's words at all.

Old Zi opened his mouth, his tone pleading, "Huang Tu, I'm begging you, please don't ask anymore, okay?"

"There's a story behind it?!"

Lu Shi, who had been uninterested, suddenly perked up.

No matter where you are, you can never overcome your inner gossip.

Feeling Shikatoki's burning gaze, Old Purple had a bad feeling. He had to get rid of Nara Shikatoki as soon as possible; that kid was cunning!

"Let's go back to the village."

Old Zi grabbed Huang Tu and was about to leave.

Huang Tu really didn't understand Lao Zi, but he didn't say anything.

"Boss, check please."

The madam approached and said, "I'll take care of the five hundred thousand taels."

"So expensive?" Old Zi stared at the madam in disbelief.

The madam smiled seductively, "Sir ninja, you flatter me. You've ordered our top courtesans; this is already a bargain."

"Alright, alright."

Old Zi took out his wallet, about to pay, when he froze, then stared stiffly at Huang Tu, "Brother, pay!"

Holy crap!

Huang Tu looked at Lao Zi in disbelief.

"You come out to a brothel and expect me to pay for it? Do you think that's fair?!"

Huang Tu really didn't want to pay this money.

I traveled all this way to find someone, and I haven't been able to eat or sleep well. When I arrived, I hadn't even had a chance to play yet, but I had to pay for it first!

Lu Shi glanced at Lao Zi's wallet and his embarrassed expression.

Then, thinking about Lao Zi's movements, Ikesha and the Land of Lightning are both large cities.

A strange idea suddenly popped into my head.

Lu Shi slammed his hand on the table, "I understand!"

Just as Huang Tu was about to angrily pay, he turned to look at Lu Shi: "Lu Shi-kun, what's wrong with you now? What do you know?!"

"Now I know why Lao Zi did that!"

Lu Shi's words made Lao Zi's heart skip a beat. "Huang Tu! Let's pay and leave right away!"

Seeing Lao Zi's anxiety, Huang Tu suddenly didn't want to leave. "You bastard, making your brother pay for your visit to a brothel? Is that something a human would do?"

"Lu Shi-kun, you just ordered food, right?"

"yes!"

"Alright! It's on me, order whatever you want. I'm determined to find out what secret Lao Zi is hiding today!" Huang Tu said, and pulled Lao Zi back into the private room.
