At the same time.
"Huh... huh..."
Ning Xue, who had been running wildly for several hours, leaned on his knees and gasped for air.
He really didn't expect that he would be so unlucky today that he would get involved in Land of Water's internal affairs.
But fortunately, he has landed on the land of Land of Tea. (Probably)
I just don't know if Mist Village will find out that those rebels were killed by him.
After resting for a while, he turned on Byakugan and walked in a random direction.
It didn't take long before I saw the building. When I walked to the outside, I could see the general appearance of the place clearly.
On the street, the crowds were a little sparse, and the vendors on both sides were also a little listless.
Obviously, this is just an extremely ordinary town.
Within Byakugan's field of vision, he accurately captured a sushi restaurant and then walked away.
Soon.
"Boss, I want ten rice balls, but no kelp."
"Customer, are you sure you don't want kelp?"
The owner of the store asked a little uncertainly. After all, in this small town, he had never seen many people who didn't want kelp.
"OK."
"Okay, customer, please wait a moment."
The customer is the emperor, whatever the customer says is what he wants, just save a little bit.
The shop owner opened the rice bucket on the side, scooped out a spoonful of rice in a small bowl, and put it into his armpit.
Just listen to a "pop" sound.
A round, warm "armpit rice ball" with some ingredients is ready.
The shop owner was quite satisfied with his rice balls, but this way of making rice balls made Ning Xue's pupils shrink violently under the mask, and he couldn't react for a while.
Just as the boss was about to do the same thing for the second time, Ning Xue suddenly interrupted.
"Stop!!"
"Huh? What's wrong, customer?" The shop owner held up the bowl, a little confused.
"That... boss," Ning Xue tried to make his voice sound calm.
"It's better for me to pinch it myself."
"Ah?" The boss was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he immediately looked at the masked customer with a careful look.
"Customer... do you dislike my dirty hands or my methods? Let me tell you, I have been making rice balls here for more than ten years, and no one can tell me what to do."
Ning Xue looked at the rice balls formed by the boss's armpits, swallowed, and quickly made up a reason.
"Don't get me wrong, it's my own problem. I have mysophobia and I really can't get over it... It's not about your craftsmanship."
"Mysophobia?"
After hearing this, the boss looked the customer up and down carefully. Finally, he had no choice but to mutter "It's really weird" and let Ning Xue do the operation by himself.
"Thank you."
After seeing the boss agree, Ning Xue also breathed a sigh of relief and said thank you.
Finally, he quickly dug a few spoonfuls of rice into the bowl and made nine rice balls for himself.
As for the one made by the boss, he didn't even dare to touch it.
When paying, the boss couldn't help but push the special rice ball forward while counting the coins, and said in a somewhat angry and proud tone.
"Sir, you really don't want to try this? I'm not telling you, the rice balls made like this are extra firm and chewy! Many regular customers recognize this bite."
Ning Xue twitched the corners of his mouth under the mask, took the rice ball, and responded vaguely.
"... I'll try it later."
Before leaving, he thought of something and turned around and asked.
"Boss, which town in Land of Tea is this?"
"Oh, this is Land of Tea in Land of Fire. Just go forward along this road."
Land of Fire territory?!
Ning Xue was shocked in his heart.
No, you have to leave!
"Thank you."
He said no more, picked up the bag containing the rice balls, turned around and left the shop quickly.
Just as he was about to leave the town, he saw a stray dog staring eagerly at his bag.
After Ning Xue noticed it, he just hesitated for a moment and threw the rice ball given by the boss to it.
When the wild dog saw the rice ball thrown in front of him, he went up to it and sniffed it, and then... actually turned his head away in disgust, whimpered, and ran away?
"Heh..."
Seeing the dog's reaction, Ning Xue also had a rare feeling of joy.
He hesitated no longer and sped along this road quickly.
He must, immediately! Immediately! Get out of here.
If you encounter Konoha's ninja, you will be in trouble.
At the same time, on the other side, a group of ninjas wearing Mist Village uniforms complained, "Why are we looking for that Kekkei Genkai monster?" while struggling to search for similar people in this huge Land of Tea territory.
Furthermore, they produced a document to ensure the authority to search.
