Under the mask, Ning Xue stood there and got used to the fishy smell.

It seems like I need to consider buying a gas mask.

He thought to himself.

After adjusting, he regained his ninja spirit and looked more like a traveler.

He walked towards a simple wooden house that looked like a grocery store at the edge of the village.

An old man with dark skin and wrinkles was lying in front of the counter.

"Old man,"

Ning Xue asked in as calm a tone as possible.

"Excuse me, where is this place? How far is it from the Land of Fire border?"

The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at this guy who looked suspicious in a mask.

He sat upright, holding his cheek with one hand, looking at the masked guy in front of him, and tapped the table with his other hand, as if he was hinting at something?

After a while, seeing that Ning Xue still looked puzzled, the old man simply stopped beating around the bush.

"Give me money when you ask for directions, understand?"

The old man put down his hand that stopped knocking, frowned, and looked at the other person with disdain.

Ning Xue was stunned after hearing this, hesitated for a moment, took out two smaller denomination banknotes from his backpack and placed them on the counter.

The old man's expression softened a lot in an instant. He quietly swept the coins into his sleeves, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed a little.

"This is the border of Land of Waves, we all call it Sea Pond Village.

Land of Fire? That's not that far away. Just across the mountains and forests, we can walk upstream along the river and we'll be there in a few days."

"Land of Waves!?"

Ning Xue couldn't help but be surprised when he learned that he had rushed to his destination.

After reacting, he immediately wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible.

"Old man, do you know where Land of Snow is going?"

"Land of Snow, young man, did you see the boat over there? Take the boat and walk along the river, and you will see the real Land of Waves after crossing the sea.

Then you go west, cross Land of Waves, and take a boat to reach Land of Snow."

"Thank you."

Ning Xue heard this and understood clearly.

After thanking the old man.

He turned and left the grocery store.

"Hey, no, there seems to be some kind of bridge coming up recently.

Forget it, just give me this little money and fool around with you."

Ning Xue Walked along the relatively gentle river bank and soon came to an open bay.

He stood at the intersection of fresh water and sea water, looking in the direction of Land of Waves, and finally cast his eyes to the more distant sky.

According to my mother, Land of Snow... there is a country covered with ice and snow.

Ning Xue did not hesitate, raised his feet, condensed Chakra and stepped on the sea, then galloped away in the direction of Land of Waves.

With the strength of a ninja's feet, this distance is nothing.

After Yi Zheng was galloping, Ning Xue felt that his wound still hurt a little, but fortunately he could see the coastline.

As he got closer, he also felt that the dense fog around him was getting thicker.

After landing ashore, I glanced around and found that compared with the lushness of Land of Fire, this place seemed much barren. The air was filled with a lingering salty smell and a sense of depression?

After turning on Byakugan, walk in a random direction.

Not long after, a bridge and four big characters appeared in his field of vision Byakugan.

"Naruto Bridge???"

Ning Xue was stunned when he saw these four words.

He realized that he seemed to have suffered a big loss.

Forget it, it's not important anymore.

Ning Xue quickly approached Naruto Bridge and followed the flow of people in the direction of the crowd.

Not long after, following the crowd, he successfully arrived at a small town.

The streets of the town are far less prosperous than Konoha. The roads are wet and muddy, the houses on both sides are low, and in addition to the salty sea breeze, there is also a smell of corruption in the air.

There were not many pedestrians, and most of them looked haggard and sad.

There were even some skinny people not far away, curling up silently and hiding in the dark alley.

Ning Xue looked around.

Then he walked towards a hut that looked like it was responsible for registering ships. Sitting at the window was a yawning, sleepy middle-aged man.

"Excuse me, is there a boat to Land of Snow? How much is the ticket?"

Ning Xue changed his voice to make himself sound slightly more mature.

The sleepy-eyed man heard someone asking him, so he rubbed his eyes to wake himself up.

He looked at Ning Xue who was wearing a mask, and spoke in a lazy tone.

"Land of Snow? That place is cold and remote, and there aren't many boats going there.

A cargo ship will pass by next week and is willing to take a few guests with it."

He quoted a price.

And this price is a price that Ning Xue cannot pay.

If you sell all your belongings, you may be able to pay.

But the next journey to Land of Snow will also be extremely difficult.

He was silent for a moment and then spoke again, his voice appearing a little dull through the mask.

"I don't have enough money.

But I know some medical skills, so I can use medical services to deduct part of the shipping fee?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man sneered with obvious disdain.

He looked up and down, and Ning Xue, who was only 1.5 meters tall, spoke.

"Medical skills? We don't have any doctors in this poor place, and we don't have the money to hire a doctor.

You still look like a child, right? Go home and feed yourself."

But before he finished speaking, Ning Xue grabbed his wrist.

"I can prove it to you, but please show some respect to me first."

As his voice fell, Ning Xue's hand gradually became stronger.

As for the middle-aged man, just as he was about to throw away his hand, he was squeezed by the sudden force and screamed.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong, let go, let go, let go."

But before he could finish speaking, Ning Xue had already let go of his hand.

"That guy over there, if he doesn't get treatment, I'm afraid I won't be able to get his entire arm."

Ning Xue points to a man not far away.

The middle-aged man rubbed his red wrist and looked at Ning Xue in confusion. Although he was full of dissatisfaction, the moment just now really made him realize that the masked boy in front of him was not easy to mess with.

He looked along the direction Ning Xue pointed.

I saw a man who looked like a porter.

His face was pale, and there was a huge wound on his right arm that had suppurated, and the surrounding area was also covered in purple.

He gritted his teeth and had cold sweat on his forehead, obviously suffering from great pain.

"He... he is our porter here. He was hit on the arm by falling goods a few days ago."

The middle-aged man muttered, his tone softened, but still full of suspicion.

"Can you cure it?"

"It can be cured."

Ning Xue No nonsense, he quickly Earth Flow arrived in front of the man, explained a few more words, and then started his treatment.

He first took out his bandages and some herbs from his backpack.

First, clean the wound with clean water to remove pus and blood.

Then, use its Medical Ninjutsu.

I saw Ning Xue's palm glowing slightly with green light, covering the ferocious wound.

And the middle-aged man who was originally in a mood to watch the excitement couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this.

Maybe they have never seen a medical ninja, but this magical green light cannot be faked.

As the green light continued to act, the swelling on the man's arm subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the color of the wound was no longer so scary.

Although he couldn't recover immediately, his condition obviously improved greatly.

Ning Xue Put away Chakra, apply it with herbs, and wrap it neatly with a bandage.

"The wound is too deep and the infection takes a long time. It cannot be completely cured at one time. You need to apply herbal medicine several times and rest for a while."

he said calmly.

The injured man felt the injury and thanked him excitedly.

"Thank you! Thank you doctor!"

Ning Xue ignored his gratitude, but turned to look at the dumbfounded middle-aged man, his tone still calm.

"Now, can we talk about the ticket again?"

The middle-aged man rolled his Adam's apple, opened his mouth, looked at the porter whose expression improved significantly, and then looked at the awe-filled eyes of the surrounding workers looking at Ning Xue. His attitude completely changed.

"Yes... yes! Of course!"

"With your superb medical skills, the ferry ticket to Land of Snow is definitely enough, no!... I will waive the ticket for you, and also cover your food expenses, how about it?"

"I just ask that you can help us take a look at it when we have headaches and fever these days."

Regarding such conditions, Ning Xue nodded with satisfaction and asked.

"When will we leave?"

"The day after tomorrow! Let's leave early the day after tomorrow."
