Chapter 26: Fujiki's Identity, Chiba's Face Change
However, Fujiki clearly didn't give him a chance.
"Senior Chiba, how did you save me? That Sand Shinobi was so powerful that even the captain of the Elite Chunin was instantly killed..."
Fujiki was very curious about how Chiba had saved himself.
He had witnessed the Sand Shinobi's formidable power, and from Fujiki's estimation, the enemy was definitely a powerful Jōnin!
"How did I save you? I didn't even ask for your name, and yet you're asking how I saved you?" Chiba replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Forgive me," Fujiki quickly apologized, bowing sincerely to Chiba.
"By the way, Senior, my name is Mito Fujiki," he introduced himself.
Listening to the self-introduction, Chiba's drowsiness faded as he turned his head to look at Fujiki more attentively.
Mitokado Homura? Village advisor? High-level? Is he your father?
"Fujiki, do you know about a ninjutsu called 'face changing'?" Chiba asked.
"Face changing? I'm not familiar with it, but I know the Transformation Technique," Fujiki replied, shaking his head thoughtfully.
"Would you like to see a demonstration of face changing?" Chiba asked, sounding persuasive.
"Sure! Senior, please show me," Fujiki responded eagerly.
In an instant, Chiba's expression changed. The arrogance and indifference vanished, replaced by a familiar smile.
"Fujiki, right? Good brother!" Chiba exclaimed, holding Fujiki's hand tightly as if they were long-lost brothers.
As Chiba spoke, a strong odor emitted from his mouth, spraying onto Fujiki's face.
Fujiki was stunned. Not only was he confused by the sudden change in Chiba's attitude, but he also felt something sticky on his face and mouth.
He wiped his mouth with his hand and realized that his face was covered in something unpleasant.
Chiba had already let go of Fujiki's hand and nonchalantly leaned against the side of the cart, turning away.
"Ah!!!" Fujiki shouted in terror, causing Chiba to avert his gaze.
Chiba swore to himself that he hadn't intended for this to happen.
He claimed that spraying oil when he spoke had nothing to do with him and must be due to Fujiki's panic.
"It seems he hasn't recovered from the shock yet, causing his meridians to become disordered and feces to flow up onto his face. It has nothing to do with me," Chiba rationalized, feeling pleased with his explanation.
"Good brother, come back up!" Chiba called out, extending a caring hand toward Fujiki.
However, Fujiki vigorously shook his head, seemingly reluctant.
"Good brother, didn't you just fall off the cart? What's wrong? I've fallen off twice, and nothing happened," Chiba persuaded him with kind words.
"Come on, take my hand!" Chiba jumped out of the cart, urging Fujiki.
Perplexed, Fujiki didn't know what to do, so he reluctantly climbed back onto the cart.
Once inside, Fujiki swiftly took out a thick mask from his ninja bag and placed it over his face.
Chiba looked surprised, finding the other party's actions quite peculiar.
Taking a mask out of the ninja bag? What kind of operation is this? Is the ninja bag for storing masks?
Unable to answer Chiba's doubts, Fujiki scratched his head in embarrassment.
He couldn't admit that he had prepared the mask to teach Chiba a lesson, right?
"Senior, will the smell on your body stay with you forever?" Fujiki changed the subject, trying to hide his guilty conscience.
A lifelong companion? Like, forever?
In truth, even Chiba didn't know the answer to that question. Ever since he had eaten the Dung Fruit, he had been stuck with this scent.
Nevertheless, he remained stubborn.
"Actually, this smell is just a side effect of my awakened ability. Once my ability fully awakens, the smell will disappear," Chiba explained with an enigmatic tone, making up a reason on the spot.
Fujiki believed him, and his expression grew resolute.
With determination in his voice, Fujiki declared, "Senior Chiba, you saved me! Let me be by your side when you're feeling most lonely!"
Chiba was dumbfounded. Was Fujiki being serious? A grown man wanted to stay by his side? It all felt rather strange.
