Bab 56: Chapter 56
"Hey, let me ask you, do you really think this world is unfair?"
Kazuki glanced at her and replied calmly, "Strength is justice."
"Fallacy!"
Yaya curled her lips and snorted coldly, clearly not agreeing with this view.
In the Land of Grass,
Kusagakure Village.
The strength of this village is one of the weakest in the ninja world, yet it has produced some renowned ninjas.
The mother and daughter of the Uzumaki Clan.
I suppose Karin's mother is no longer alive.
Kazuki thought as much.
"You wait here; I'll buy an orange."
"…"
Kazuki grabbed Yaya, who was about to head off, and said, "I'll go."
"Huh? It's rare to see you showing such a gentlemanly side!" Yaya remarked, surprised.
Kazuki rolled his eyes. If it weren't for his father's insistence, who would bother to buy oranges?
"Boss, how much for the oranges?"
"Fifty ryo."
Kazuki frowned, "That's expensive."
"Expensive? Where is it expensive? The oranges in our Kusagakure Village have always been priced like this. It's hard for us to make a living selling them!
Sometimes you need to reflect on yourself. Are you taking your missions seriously? Have you been working hard?"
"…"
"I won't buy them."
Kazuki turned around and left.
He had money but wasn't foolish.
What surprised him even more was that despite knowing he was a ninja, the vendor still dared to speak like that. Clearly, they had strong backing!
"Where are your oranges?"
Yaya teased, as if she knew he would come back empty-handed.
"You knew he was going to scam me?"
"Take a guess."
"Guess? Who has time for that?"
Kazuki was speechless.
Seeing this, Yaya stopped teasing him and explained, "The vendors here are not like those in Konoha. Well… how do I put it, they prefer to scam outsiders. If you buy too much, they won't scam you."
Kazuki rolled his eyes, "Yeah, right!"
This time it was Yaya's turn to buy. The vendor, seeing a familiar face, offered a very favorable price.
Five ryo!
The price was suddenly ten times cheaper!
Seeing this, Kazuki felt like smashing the vendor's stall.
"Hmm?"
Kazuki was thinking viciously when he suddenly saw Yaya calmly handing a scroll to the fruit shop owner.
Such abnormal behavior was not what one would expect from an ordinary fruit vendor.
It seemed that this seemingly kind-hearted and nostalgic woman was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
"If I remember correctly, Kusagakure Village is known for trading information. Any ninja village and anyone can come here to buy and sell information. Is this girl here to sell information?
Or… is she a spy?"
Kazuki didn't know, and he had no intention of finding out.
He knew well enough that the future of Konoha wouldn't be affected by just one or two spies.
And there was no need for him to do anything other than his missions for Konoha.
"Let's go!"
Yaya returned after buying the oranges, as if nothing had happened, smiling sweetly.
Kazuki also pretended not to notice anything and nodded slightly.
After the two arrived at the door of Yaya's house, Kazuki suggested finding the possum first.
Although he still wanted to take Yaya back, Yaya needed to stay home for a few days,
Kazuki didn't want to waste that time. After confirming the possum's appearance, he planned to go on the road alone.
And finding a small creature like that wasn't an easy task.
It might take a day or two to find it.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I told you I would take you to find it!" Yaya said, dissatisfied.
"If I take you along, how long will it take to find it?"
"Uh… I don't know, it depends on luck." Yaya thought for a moment and said.
In truth, she wasn't very familiar with possums; she just knew a bit about them through her work.
"Then why don't I go ahead? Don't worry, I won't leave you here. I'll come back to get you when I find it."
After saying that, Kazuki disappeared without giving Yaya a chance to continue persuading him. Yaya, on the other hand, looked frustrated, holding back the words she had just wanted to say!
"How will you find it without me leading the way!" Yaya thought angrily.
