Traveling Together
At this moment, the richly dressed middle-aged man saw that Genya Namikaze had introduced himself, so he also introduced himself to Xuan Ye, "Hello Xuan Ye, my name is Nakagawa Itta. As you can see, I am a merchant. These goods are what I am going to transport to a relatively large town to sell this time."
"Most of the people behind me are guards from my family, and only a small number are hired by me. The reason for hiring them is to protect these goods. After all, there are always some bandits in these places. If it weren't for these guards, I probably would have been killed and robbed by those bandits before I got very far."
"And the man to my left is from my family. His name is Nakagawa Ichihara. He is a very skilled samurai with great strength and powerful swordsmanship."
"The man to my right is my family's personal guard. He has been with my Nakagawa Clan since he was a child and is absolutely loyal to my Nakagawa Clan. His name is Daigen Isseki. Don't be fooled by his somewhat simple and honest appearance; his strength is no less than that of Ichihara."
After Xuan Ye Nakagawa Itta finished introducing himself, Xuan Ye nodded to the two men in turn.
After carefully observing the two people introduced by Nakagawa Itta, Xuan Ye noticed that the one on the left was Nakagawa Ichihara. Nakagawa Ichihara was holding a long sword and looked at Xuan Ye with some disdain. Xuan Ye could tell from his eyes that this person seemed to dislike him.
The other guard, Daigen Isseki, although he had an honest and simple appearance, looked at Xuan Ye with only a welcoming gaze, without any other complicated feelings.
"Alright! Little one, just come with us. When we go, just follow the caravan. The bandits on the road shouldn't attack us. You'll be very safe with us, don't worry," Nakagawa Itta said to Xuan Ye.
After speaking, Nakagawa Itta seemed to be tired and stopped to rest for a while. Xuan Ye also stopped for a while with them, while the guards were packing up the things they were transporting.
After a while, once Nakagawa Itta had rested, the guards finished organizing the goods they were escorting and then set off again.
As Nakagawa Itta left, he said to Xuan Ye, "Xuan Ye, you can go now. Come over here quickly."
Xuan Ye nodded, watched for a while, and then followed.
There were several carriages in the caravan, and there were empty seats available. Furthermore, Nakahara Itta insisted that Xuan Ye must ride in the carriage because he thought Xuan Ye was still a child.
Gen Xuan Ye was initially reluctant to sit in the carriage. Why would someone with the physical strength Chunin a Chunin need a carriage?
However, unable to resist Nakahara Ichita's enthusiastic invitation, he had no choice but to reluctantly get into the carriage.
There were four people in the carriage that Xuan Ye was in, including himself. Perhaps because they saw that there were strangers in the two carriages and they didn't know much about Xuan Ye, they suddenly had more questions for him.
"Um, Xuan Ye, I've never seen you in this town before! Aren't you from this town?" Da Yuan Yi Shi, who had a simple and honest face, asked Xuan Ye.
The owner of the caravan was also sitting in this carriage. After hearing Daigen Isseki's question, he craned his neck to hear Xuan Ye's answer.
"I'm not actually from this town. I'm from somewhere else. I came here because I wanted to travel around and gain some experience. After staying here for a day, I met you when I was about to leave," Xuan Ye replied.
"Oh! I see!" Upon hearing Xuan Ye's reply, the expression of the person sitting in the carriage clearly changed.
"Training? Why would he need to train? Many ninjas usually go to other places to train. Could Xuan Ye be a ninja?" Nakagawa Itta, the owner of the caravan sitting opposite Xuan Ye, wondered to himself.
"Xuan Ye, are you a ninja?" Nakagawa Itta stared at Xuan Ye for a long time before hesitating and finally asked.
"Yes! That's right, I'm a ninja, a Genin." Xuan Ye hesitated for a moment before answering.
In fact, with his current strength, Xuan Ye could easily kill Chunin, but since he didn't know much about them, he answered that he was a Genin.
After speaking, he tugged at the white coat covering his neck, revealing the Konoha Village Forehead Protector hanging around his neck.
"Hiss! Xuan Ye, so you're a ninja from Konoha Village."
Upon hearing Xuan Ye's answer and seeing the Forehead Protector Xuan Ye Konoha Village his neck, everyone in the carriage was shocked.
When they looked at Xuan Ye, their faces showed a hint of respect for the ninja.
In fact, the number of ninjas in this world is very small. Among the group of people that Xuan Ye encountered, there was not a single ninja. Even if they had the potential to become ninjas, they did not have the method to do so.
Basically, only people in certain ninja villages have the opportunity to become ninjas. In addition to people in ninja villages, some people accidentally obtained the method to become ninjas and became wandering ninjas without any backing.
Although these people became wandering ninjas, their strength was not particularly high because there were no powerful ninjutsu techniques for them to learn.
"No wonder Xuan Ye is Genin at such a young age. He must be a ninja from Konoha Village. I guess Xuan Ye is one of the most talented ninjas in Konoha Village!" Nakagawa Itta thought to himself.
However, the people sitting in the carriage did not see that Xuan Ye, because of his identity as a ninja, became arrogant, and his face still had a childlike and cute appearance.
The initial awkwardness in everyone's hearts disappeared, and they started joking around with Xuan Ye.
"Xuan Ye, you've become Genin at such a young age. Your talent must be exceptional, but don't be arrogant. Work hard and become a powerful ninja in the future," Nakagawa Itta said.
"Yes! I definitely will. I will definitely become a powerful ninja."
Hearing Nakagawa Itta's encouragement, Xuan Ye nodded heavily, his belief in becoming a strong person constantly strengthening itself.
"Sigh! My parents are probably still lying in a coma in the hospital, and they haven't woken up yet. I also don't know how my younger brother, Naruto Uzumaki, is doing. The Third is taking care of Naruto, so Naruto shouldn't be doing too badly!" Xuan Ye suddenly thought of these things, thinking of his parents and his Naruto Uzumaki.
