Jinbei was a little embarrassed by Aragaki Tsugumi's lackluster appearance, but it could be seen that this level of embarrassment could not allow him to "back out" because his purpose seemed to be more than just expressing gratitude to Aragaki Tsugumi.

So simple.

So I only heard Jinbei continue: "Sir, to be honest, I... the reason why the two of us bothered you is because we hope to get your protection.

I just ask you to take care of me before arriving at the next town. I will work as a cow and a horse for you along the way. I have no other skills except farming, but I still have a lot of strength. I have to work hard.

Can do anything!”

"Oh? Become a coolie... But I still want to ask, why don't you join those guys? I believe that with your ability, it is better to be the leader of that group of people now than to be a coolie like me.

?”

Niiguanji was a little curious about where this farmer's spirit of "I would rather make phoenix tails than chicken heads" came from.

Jinbei is indeed just a farmer, but this does not mean that he only knows farming as he said.

At least before this, he was able to survive the destruction of the Iwa Ninja until now, and not only did he live reasonably, he was even able to protect a little lolita. Such a guy has no brains. Who would believe him even if he is said to be not smart?

?

This is also true. Based on this guy's performance just now, being able to save that man can also be said to be a warm-blooded and kind-hearted person in his heart. However, when encountering a force majeure enemy, he can also bend and stretch, and size up the situation.

Of course, if people just do this blindly, one day they will be smoothed out sooner or later and their blood will flow with the tide.

But when the Iwa-nin wanted to force the young Loli to kill someone, he undoubtedly touched his bottom line. In order to keep the bottom line, he would risk his life to resist the Iwa-nin's kick.

Therefore, Aragaki didn't hate this guy, and it was just a matter of convenience to save his life.

"Sir, let me tell you the truth. I also heard some things from those ninjas intentionally or unintentionally along the way. The place they escorted us to is called Don't Forget River, which is already the land of rain and the land of earth.

The junction of countries.

So I thought that if we were really taken there this time, it would be difficult for us to return to the Kingdom of Rain alive in the future.

Also, the purpose of these ninjas to capture us ordinary people must be very important to them, because I have also observed it carefully from the beginning to now.

Although these ninjas do regard our lives as nothing, they generally do not take action at will, especially against a strong young man like me.

And they often kill those who are old, weak, sick, and disabled, and whose bodies can no longer support the journey...

Therefore, I feel that maybe this matter will not end like this, and I am afraid that those ninjas will not let us go easily. So I still feel that following the adults and leaving here is the only way for her and I to survive.

"

How should I put it? Everything Jinbe said frankly to Aragaki sounded somewhat reasonable, but it was not completely tenable. It could even be said that a large part of it was this guy's inference and speculation.

However, let's not talk about whether there will be Iwa ninjas who will continue to arrest these civilians regardless of the cost.

Jinbe was right about one thing, and it could also be said that his intuition was accurate, that is, it would definitely be safe to follow Aragaki.

If the ninja world can no longer protect them even Aragaki Tsugumi, then it must be difficult for anyone to replace them, right?

As for Aragaki Tsugumi, there is actually another question to ask him.

"Then since you have made such a guess, don't you really want to do something for the remaining villagers? For example, ask me to save them all?"

Facing the question raised by Aragaki Tsugumi, Jinbei raised his head, his eyes trembling, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"You have no reason or position to save everyone, let alone the responsibility to save a group of ordinary people who are worthless to you.

But I am different, because I am useful to adults... Even if adults can save her, I am willing to risk my life."

So the reason why Jinbe did this was entirely for this little girl? Even in his eyes, the lives of everyone else were not as important as hers.

After all, rather than begging Aragaki to save everyone, asking him to save just one person would definitely have a higher success rate.

Aragaki glanced at the girl who had been timidly hiding behind Jinbei. This five- or six-year-old short-haired lolita was quite cute. "So is she your daughter or a relative?" he asked.

However, Jinbei's answer was unexpected. He shook his head. "Sir, she is a child I picked up on the road. She is not related to me by blood."

Aragaki raised his eyebrows, expressing some surprise, wondering if you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are a lolicon!

But before Aragaki could speak, Jinbei opened his mouth, "I have always regarded her as my sister, because... my sister was about the same age as her when she left. I didn't save her before, but I will not save her this time.

I will make the same mistake again!”

This guy didn't look like he was telling lies. This reminded Aragaki of a saying, "Love doesn't disappear, it just shifts."

Well, for the sake of this cute loli, it's not impossible for Aragaki to shelter them for a while.

And with the identities of these two people as cover, he won't be too conspicuous when he enters the Rain City. After all, refugees with children are less alert than lone wanderers.

Niiguanji nodded, turned around and said, "Let's go, don't stand still, you have to rebuild my house tonight. This is your first job."

Jinbei smiled happily and followed in Aragaki's footsteps with Loli.

After Jinbei took the girl and left with the mysterious wanderer, some people with ulterior motives among the civilians wanted to follow him to find out. However, when they walked into the forest, whether it was the collapsed house or the three people

Not even a shadow was seen again.

It was as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

And if the corpses of those ninjas hadn't remained in place, reminding them of the suffering they had endured during this period, many people would have thought it was just a dream.

Suddenly regaining their freedom, some people were happy and some were crying.

But no matter what, after this night has passed, the sun will still rise tomorrow, and what lies before them is still how to continue to struggle to survive in this chaotic world.
