A New Small Town

After leaving the town, Xuan Ye embarked on another journey.

Three days later, at dawn, Xuan Ye arrived at a somewhat prosperous town. There were many more pedestrians on the streets of this town than in the previous town, and there were also several times more houses in this town than in the previous town.

Walking down the streets of this small town, feeling its bustling atmosphere, and gazing into the distance, I thought, "With so many people coming and going in this town, and quite a few residing here, there must be some Ninja Tool Shop here!"

During these three days, Xuan Ye traveled through the forest. One advantage of traveling through the forest is that there is a chance to encounter strong wild beasts. If he encounters these beasts, he may be able to eat their flesh to increase his physical strength and chakra proficiency.

Upon reaching the center of the town, there was a Ninja Tool Shop in a very obvious place. Xuan Ye saw the Ninja Tool Shop and walked over.

Upon entering the Ninja Tool Shop, Xuan Ye noticed that the shop seemed to be receiving new stock, with many people carrying various boxes into the shop. Seeing this, Xuan Ye refrained from making a sound to disturb the shop owner.

After the people who were moving things left, the owner of the ninja tool shop had some free time. Suddenly, he noticed a little boy in his shop. The little boy had black hair and black eyes, and was dressed in white. He looked like he had an air of authority about him.

Upon seeing this, the shop owner understood why the child had come there.

"Little friend, have I kept you waiting for a long time? I'm really sorry! How about this, I'll give you a 10% discount when you buy something later?" the middle-aged owner of the Ninja Tool Shop said somewhat apologetically.

"Hmm! It's alright, boss. I'm here to buy some ninja tools," Xuan Ye replied softly to the Ninja Tool Shop owner.

"This! This, isn't this Forehead Protector from Konoha Village? Could this kid have already become a ninja at such a young age?"

Just as the Ninja Tool Shop owner was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that Xuan Ye was wearing a Forehead Protector around his neck. Based on the pattern on the Forehead Protector, the Ninja Tool Shop owner deduced that it should be Forehead Protector from Konoha Village.

"Hey little ninja, what kind of ninja tools do you want? I should be able to fulfill your request."

Upon discovering that Xuan Ye was a ninja, and specifically a ninja from Konoha Village, the owner of the Ninja Tool Shop became noticeably more reserved in his speech, as if afraid of offending the ninja in front of him.

"Boss, I need some ninja tools that are essential for ninja battles. Just give me the three-person set of these tools you have." Xuan Ye smiled and nodded, stating his request to the boss.

It has to be said that Xuan Ye's smile looked very friendly and warm, which gradually made the owner of the ninja tool shop lose his restraint.

The Ninja Tool Shop owner looked at Xuan Ye and laughed, saying, "Little ninja, you are really lucky. My Ninja Tool Shop has just received a large batch of goods, including many new ninja tools. These tools were made by the best blacksmith in our town, and they are absolutely sturdy, sharp, and durable."

After speaking, the owner of the Ninja Tool Shop took out a Kunai from the boxes behind him and handed Kunai to Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye looked at the dark, gleaming Kunai in his hand, weighed it in his hand, and felt that the weight of the Kunai was just right, neither too light nor too heavy. He then casually swung the Kunai in the air.

"Call out!"

A faint, audible sound emanated from the air, seemingly the sound of a Kunai blade breaking free from the air.

"Hmm! Not bad, not bad, this Kunai is quite useful." Xuan Ye praised with a smile.

It seems the blacksmith in this small town is quite skilled; he can actually forge such Kunai, and it feels very easy to use.

After seeing Xuan Ye melt away with satisfaction, the owner of the Ninja Tool Shop continued to take out various items from behind him, such as hidden weapons, Shuriken, and explosive tags.

He only stopped after learning that the Ninja Tool Shop owner had taken enough ninja tools for three people. It was indeed a lot of ninja tools for three people. Xuan Ye put a small portion of the ninja tools on his body and the rest in the backpack on his back.

After putting away the ninja tools, he put his backpack back on and immediately felt that it was much heavier, but this little bit of weight was not a problem for Xuan Ye.

When paying, the Ninja Tool Shop owner gave him a 10% discount. After the discount and rounding down, he needed to pay 50,000 taels of silver. Actually, Xuan Ye wasn't very familiar with the prices of these ninja tools. He just knew that ninja tools were a bit expensive. He didn't know if 50,000 taels of silver was a normal price. But thinking about it, the Ninja Tool Shop owner probably wouldn't dare to cheat him!

After buying the ninja tools, Xuan Ye left the ninja tool shop and returned to the streets of the small town.

Now that we've arrived in this small town, we should take a good rest for the day and find a place to stay for tonight.

Xuan Ye walked slowly down the street. Suddenly, he thought of Tenten, a female ninja from Naruto. He wondered if he had about the same amount of money as Tenten's family. But then he thought about it and realized that Tenten's family probably had more money than he did.

Otherwise, Tenten wouldn't have been able to recklessly and wildly throw out all sorts of hidden weapons and ninja tools in every battle, and use Explosive Tags at will. It seems that the two million taels of silver that Xuan Ye currently has are completely insufficient.

Xuan Ye, who was walking on the street, suddenly looked up and saw a hotel that was a place for people to stay. As soon as he entered the hotel, another person came to greet him.

After looking around, Xuan Ye found that the store was quite large and the environment seemed nice, with many flowers, plants and various trees.

After checking into the hotel, Xuan Ye went to his room. As soon as he entered, he smelled a faint fragrance, like the scent of some kind of flower, but Xuan Ye couldn't remember what it was for a moment.

After walking to the bedside, he lay down directly. In the past few days, he had not only been traveling in the forest, but also fighting against various wild beasts. The most powerful one was a tiger. This tiger was no ordinary tiger. Its physical strength had reached the level of Chunin, and it was much stronger than a normal Chunin who specialized in physical training.

Xuan Ye put a lot of effort into dealing with this tiger, and even suffered several scratches on his body because of it. However, in the end Xuan Ye still managed to kill the Xuan Ye, which became his meal. The scratches were completely healed by Medical Chakra.

Besides the tiger with the physical strength of Chunin, there were two Genin: a water buffalo and a turtle. These two beasts with the physical strength of Genin were only so-so for Xuan Ye.

However, that turtle was a bit of a problem. Although it had the physical strength of a mere Genin, its shell was incredibly hard, easily withstanding many of Xuan Ye's attacks. But after a prolonged barrage, even the hardest shell was useless, so the turtle ultimately became Xuan Ye's meal.
