Chapter 2577 Remembering

Latest website: Benefactor?

Not here to see the Chunin Exam, but to see a benefactor?

Is there anything like this?

The two people walking out of the Konoha Steamed Bun Shop successfully attracted Chiba's attention. Chiba, who originally wanted to go to the Konoha Steamed Bun Shop to eat Konoha's extra-large steamed buns after a long time, stopped immediately.

"After a long trip out, can't you eat better?"

When Qianye looked around, he saw the young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and said with some dissatisfaction.

“It’s better to save some.”

In this regard, the girl in her twenties firmly rejected the young man's idea.

Judging by his clothes, he shouldn't be from Konoha or Fire Country.

This style of dressing, and judging from the fabric of the clothes they used, it seems that this is not a wealthy area.

What can be ruled out is the major ninja villages.

At this time, Qianye, who had followed the two of them, had such a thought in his mind.

Judging from the clothes of the two people, it is definitely not the style of Konoha or the Land of Fire. Although the number of clothing styles in this ninja world is quite limited, there are still different customs in various places. , especially the five great ninja villages, or the five great countries, which are separated by terrain. Each place has more or less differences in clothing.

And the clothes of these two people do not resemble the dressing style of any of the five major countries. In the past ten years, due to the need to collect intelligence, they have traveled to various countries, and in order to better integrate into each country, Chiba I still have a lot of research on the costumes of various countries.

Since it is not the five major countries, then it naturally belongs to those small countries.

However, the costumes of small countries are a bit messy. This may be because they are located between the five major countries. Except for some particularly remote small countries, the costumes of other small countries are a mixed bag and can be found in various places. This is also because the small countries have limited national power and management capabilities. It is relatively poor, and it is located on various traffic arteries, so there are all kinds of people, wearing all kinds of clothes.

Chiba had no way of telling which small country these two people were from.

but,

What is certain is that judging from the clothing style and the relatively inferior fabric of the clothes, the two people should have been born in a small country.

It is relatively poor, but it is a small country that should be able to recover economically.

After all? Chiba has seen what those really poor countries are like, what are those really small countries that live in the cracks like.

Even these small countries are not even shown on the map. It is the true darkness of the entire ninja world.

A person born in a small country can walk in the prosperous area of ​​​​Konoha wearing clothes that only look a little old, but the conditions are already quite good. At least he has enough food and clothing, and maybe he can get some education.

Whether it's ninja education or ordinary people's education.

It has to be said that the wealth gap is reflected in every corner of the world.

"But? It's hard to come to Konoha once? Can't you eat something good?"

At this time, the two people who were looking for their benefactor had already turned the corner of the street. Chiba hurriedly introduced him into the shadows and changed the tracking angle when the two were unprepared.

At the same time, the young man among the two complained again.

Obviously, he is still looking forward to this visit to Konoha. Eat, drink and have fun.

After all, people who were born in Konoha may not know it? But for people in other villages, Konoha is almost synonymous with prosperity and strength. It is an end point that many countries and ninja villages can never reach.

No one obeys anyone except the Great Ninja Village. Basically, no matter which Great Ninja Village the small country and the Small Ninja Village stand on? Basically they all "yearn" for Konoha.

But now, as someone born in a small Shinobi village, it is normal to have such emotions and say such words.

"no."

However, the reaction of the woman of the two was extremely straightforward, as if she was very determined to save money and find this benefactor. She was ready for a protracted battle.

This shows her firm determination.

Even Chiba could feel a feeling that was almost paranoid.

It seems that this time, this woman must find this benefactor, no matter what.

"I don't even know the name, how can I find it?"

Seeing the woman's words, the young man said somewhat complainingly.

"Search the entire Konoha Village."

In this regard, the woman's words were extremely firm.

How big a favor is this?

There is no name, and you have to search desperately to find it?

Moreover, in Konoha Village, are there any good people and good deeds like this?

But at this time, after hearing these words, Chiba's brows wrinkled slightly.

To be honest, the reason why Chiba was attracted by these two people was that coming to find a benefactor was still quite a rare thing in this ninja world.

Indeed, whether it is during a war or a non-war mission, every ninja will do some good deeds that do not hinder the mission because of a personal emotion.

After all, ninjas are also human beings. When they see injustice and tragedy, they will do what they can to solve the injustice and tragedy and seek peace of mind without affecting the mission.

After all, ninjas are not war-killing machines, and their hearts are fleshy. It's just their training that allows them to do many ruthless things that ordinary people can't even imagine.

But that was only during the mission.

When the mission requires it.

If it is outside the mission, it is also normal to lend a helping hand to some people from other villages.

Especially the Konoha ninjas.

In fact, in the past ten years or so, Chiba has been traveling in the dark world and often heard some tips on dealing with Konoha ninjas. The most mentioned thing here is that Konoha ninjas often have some thoughts that ninjas should not have. If If you are not sure that you can escape unscathed, you can arrest a few civilians first.

It can be seen that Konoha ninjas still have a certain reputation for taking care of civilians.

Therefore, it is actually not impossible for someone to come to Konoha Village to find a benefactor.

Of course, it is also possible that it was not the ninjas of Konoha who saved the two, but the ordinary people of Konoha.

However, Chiba felt that the possibility was not high. If ordinary people saved these two people, then they would definitely not know only one Konoha village, but they would not even know the name of their benefactor. Because, if it is an ordinary person in Konoha, to tell which village he is from, he must report his family name or be asked about his family name. Ordinary people do not have obvious village marks that can be identified. Now that these two people have found here Come, then you must have thought about repaying your kindness at that time, so since you have asked or the other party has reported his family name, you will definitely ask clearly so that you can repay your kindness in the future.

And since the rescuer has even reported his own origin, he will definitely not be stingy with a name.

Now, the name is unknown.

The only possibility is that the person who saved him didn't say anything about where they knew Konoha Village.

In this case, there is basically only one possibility.

This rescuer is a ninja, because ninjas have obvious village marks, such as forehead protectors and Konoha battle uniforms. Moreover, it is very likely that after the Konoha ninja saved him, he left directly without giving them anything. Opportunity to ask questions.

Or tell them anything.

This is also in line with the style of ninjas. You can help, but you can't say anything. Talking too much is wrong.

And this is why Chiba is attracted to the two of them.

Because of the style of ninjas, or the style of Konoha ninjas, the rescued may know which village the benefactor is in, but they do not know all the information about the benefactor. In the end, even if they want to repay their kindness, there is no way.

Moreover, sometimes, the rescuer may not be the benefactor of the rescued person.

The best examples are Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko. Konoha also had a share in their tragic situation, but it was Konoha's ninja Jiraiya who saved them in the end.

Sometimes, this kind of gratitude will be diluted because of this contradiction, and even ungratefulness will appear.

And in this situation, even if you don't appreciate it or even stab you in the back, it's normal.

If Konoha hadn't caused the disaster or participated in the disaster, they could have lived a peaceful life. Why should they be grateful?

Perhaps the actions of the Konoha ninjas in lending a helping hand can be described as noble.

However, for the rescued, do they have to repay their kindness to the executioner or one of the executioners who dragged them into the abyss of misery?

Therefore, in fact, the relationship between giving kindness and repaying kindness is very contradictory. Moreover, generally speaking, the reason why Konoha ninjas take action is because they feel uneasy. Helping is just a means of self-comfort and a kind of self-satisfaction. That's all, I don't expect any repayment. Not backstabbing him was the greatest comfort to him.

For the rescued, it is gratifying to escape the disaster, and it is certainly a favor, but without these executioners, how could there be rescued? At most, it is just a favor for a hatred, which will change Konoha's situation. , but the hatred of the destruction of homeland in my heart will not change.

Because of this, there won't be any plot to repay gratitude thousands of miles away. At most, everyone will go their own way. At least in Qianye's image, there is no such thing.

Moreover, there is an even crueler reason. ,

That is, even if Konoha ninjas lend a helping hand, the person who is finally saved is only saved for a while, and in the end, he still dies.

This is also the truly cruel and dark place in this ninja world.

Life and death are never guaranteed.

This is especially true for people in small countries and villages.

Even if a helping hand is given, it may only be a powerless tragedy in the end.

Situations like this are actually quite rare.

This is also why Chiba is so interested.

He was a little curious as to what the Konoha ninja who had saved these two people had done to lure the girl to travel thousands of miles without any means, even if she had to search the entire Konoha village to find her benefactor. .

"Search the entire Konoha Village? Sister, are you crazy?"

At this time, after hearing his sister's words without thinking, the young man almost jumped up and looked at his barrier in shock.

"I'm not crazy."

In this regard, the woman just said it lightly, but it seemed that she knew that her brother would definitely react like this, and she was mentally prepared.

What comes out is full of determination.

"Although it is the Chuunin Exam now, all Konoha ninjas should be in the village, but... this range is too wide, and there are some places that we cannot reach. How is it possible..."

Hearing this, the young man was full of disbelief and screamed strangely.

"Then I will wait here forever. We have brought enough money. If he doesn't show up, I will buy a store here and wait for him."

In this regard, the woman was extremely determined and even prepared for a long and protracted battle.

Suddenly, the young man was stunned.

At the same time, Qianye also stopped in shock.

This... seems to be more than just repaying a favor.

At this time, some of Chiba's relatively dull nerves seemed to be touched.

What on earth did that Konoha ninja do to her?

Is it just a life-saving grace?

At this time, Qianye's heart was full of doubts.

"At that time, you were still a baby. I don't know, if he hadn't secretly stuffed dry food and money into your swaddling clothes, I'm afraid you and I would have starved to death and our bones would have been eaten by others. How could we possibly have walked out? Village, find your current home.”

At this time, looking at the young man who had stopped, the woman called sister sighed softly and spoke.

"But……"

Hearing this, a complex look flashed across the young man's face. After a moment of silence, he said, "This is really like finding a needle in a haystack..."

"If I can't find it, I will stay in Konoha all my life. I have also done some business in Konoha, and I still know a few people. It is still possible to apply for a business and residence permit here. Besides, now all the major ninja villages They all attach great importance to business, so it’s okay to establish a foothold here. As long as you stay in Konoha Village, you won’t have to worry about not finding him.”

In response, a slightly unpleasant look flashed across the woman's face and she spoke.

"sister……"

After hearing this and looking at the determined and abnormal look on his sister's face, the young man opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"gone."

At this time, the woman spoke again and started again.

Helpless, the young man could only sigh and continue to follow his sister.

baby?

Dry food?

Swaddling?

At this time, Chiba, who was following the two of them, was startled after hearing these words and did not follow them.

In addition, they are from a small shinobi village...

How do you feel, has something like this happened before?

At the same time, he was lost in thought.

Faintly, he seemed to have seen this scene a long, long time ago.

It seems that there is a little impression.

"Sister... I understand, then how about we simply arrange to be a businessman here. This is also a Konoha village after all, so we don't have to worry about war in the future. We don't have to worry about the village being destroyed by war."

And at this moment, the voice of the young man who had walked away slowly came.

War?

Village...

Could it be that!

And with just such a sentence, an idea suddenly flashed in Qianye's mind.

Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the two people who were gradually moving away with astonishment.

No way……

It's that time!
