Chapter 269: Two People Battled with the Air
(Some of the titles in this chapter can be considered as translations, because I have never been abroad and have not found the corresponding titles...)
The next evening, Minato and Mito rushed to a small town in the Land of Rain and stayed temporarily in an inn, resting while waiting for Shiro's contact.
But the strange thing is that they had clearly informed Shiro through special channels, but they waited for a long time, and did not receive any news from Shiro until the second day after they arrived in the Rain Country.
However, the two of them are no longer rookies, and no one can explain the consequences of accidents, so they are still waiting here.
But at noon, when the rain stopped, a little girl wearing glasses and holding a book walked into the hotel and walked straight to the counter.
The girl bowed to the innkeeper and asked crisply, "Hello, do you know the relationship between green flashes and blood-red peppers? This is a task my teacher assigned me."
"Well, I don't know about that, but judging from the name, this should be the business of the ninja master. Little friend, you'd better not ask about it. The ninja master is not someone we can afford to offend."
"Oh, I see. Thank you. Uncle, I want to stay in the hotel and book two rooms. The teacher will be here soon. This is the deposit."
"Ai, what kind of teacher are you? You're so young and yet you're ordering me around. Come on, I'll take you to your room. I'm worried about you going alone."
After saying that, the shopkeeper gave Minato an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I need to take her to her room first. The child is so young, I'm a little worried. Your business may have to wait a while."
"It's okay, you take her first, my business is not urgent."
"Hey, thank you for your understanding. Let's go, little girl. Be careful, the stairs are quite high."
Listening to the shopkeeper's concerned voice, Minato smiled again. In this country, there were not many people like him. Most of them were not bad, but at least not as good as him.
But there was another reason for laughing: the person they were waiting for had arrived.
The two titles that the little girl mentioned were actually a code. Currently, only a few of them knew what they meant. This was what Shiro said as a joke when Kushina successfully mastered part of the Nine-Tails' power.
The blood-red pepper is naturally Kushina, but the green flash is not Minato. According to Shiro, the green flash is his and Kushina's future child.
Because after Kushina uses the Nine-Tails mode, her chakra turns yellow, and Minato's chakra is blue. The combination of the two naturally becomes green.
For this, Shiro was also beaten by Kushina, because when they mentioned the green flash, they thought of Kai. They thought that their future children might become like that style.
That day, Shiro was beaten for a long time. Even in the following days, Kushina would go to Shiro from time to time to vent her hatred!
Of course they knew this was nonsense. After all, when Kushina didn't use the Nine-Tails' chakra, her own chakra was also blue. They had never heard of anyone's chakra being a different color.
But this did not stop her from beating Shiro, who ruined her dream.
Therefore, if these two names appeared separately, it would be nothing and could be said to be a coincidence, but when they appeared together, and appeared when he came down, it was a bit too coincidental.
Therefore, Minato first looked around calmly, but found nothing unusual.
It was obviously not an accident that the little girl appeared here so coincidentally, but Minato searched for a while but still found no clues.
In this case, either Shiro was watching from a distance with his clairvoyance, so Minato couldn't see, or there was an excellent intelligence system that even he couldn't detect.
Finally, and most unrealistically, the little girl was actually transformed by Shiro, but unless Shiro had been practicing transformation techniques for the past few years, he would definitely be able to see the traces.
Therefore, this point can be ruled out, but there is no point in thinking about it. He just thinks about it out of habit. It can be regarded as an occupational disease of a ninja. He wants to analyze everything he sees and look for information.
A moment later the shopkeeper came down and gave Minato a slight bow as he arrived, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It's okay, it won't take long, I'm not in a hurry."
"Hey, don't worry, I'll prepare it for you right away. Please wait a moment, I'll go and take a look." After saying that, he walked behind the counter.
After a while, he pulled out a scroll and handed it to Minato: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long, sir."
"Nothing, but I'm curious. It's really rare for you to maintain such kindness in this line of work."
"Well, I'll help if I can. I did a lot of wrong things back then, which led to the death of a grandson of mine who was about her age. Now I'm just making up for it."
"I'm sorry to bring up your sad story."
"It's nothing. After so many years, I've almost let it go. It's just that this little girl's teacher is really not a human being. It's been so long, and he still hasn't come."
"Yes, he is really kind-hearted. It's so cold, but he is not worried that the little girl will be cold alone."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes moved slightly as he looked at the account book, and he said, "Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking. He only gave her money for the maid's room. He's really not a human being!"
"Tsk, that's really not a human being. What if it gets wet? But this is not something we can control. Thank you, boss." Minato waved the scroll in his hand to the boss and turned back to his room.
"Well, take care, sir."
When he saw Minato going upstairs out of the corner of his eye, he quickly waved over a younger brother and threw the account book in his hand to him: "Leave it to you, I'll go open the passage."
"Boss, they are ninjas. We can't afford to offend them."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Nothing will happen. As long as I'm here, ordinary ninjas won't dare to cause trouble here. Don't worry."
After saying that, he pushed away his younger brother's hand that was blocking him and walked towards the passage he had prepared.
He has been in the business for so many years and has seen all kinds of ninjas. Minato's words just now were obviously meant to trick the little girl into finding out her location. This simple rhetoric could only fool the little ninja, and he wouldn't be fooled.
However, he knew that the situation required reverse thinking, so he gave the correct information, but there was still a risk. Therefore, he now had to prepare a backup plan to ensure the girl's safety.
When the younger brother found that he still couldn't stop the shopkeeper, he once again accepted his fate and lay down on the counter and started to count the bill.
However, the shopkeeper did not expect that the information he tried so hard to hide had been leaked by the little girl and discovered by Minato.
All these images were conveyed to Shiro through an inconspicuous bird outside the hotel. After they disappeared into the lobby, a blue light flashed in the bird's eyes and then it flew away.
