"Yes, I'm on my way to the Land of Hot Springs for a mission. Do I need to show you my exit permit? I have it with me." Tianqi said, preparing to take out his permit.
"No need, no need, you know, we don't need proof." The larger ninja waved his hand, stopping Tianqi from taking the proof.
"If you don't look, we're leaving," Tianqi said without producing any proof.
"Please, please," the older ninja said respectfully, wishing Tian Qi would leave as soon as possible.
"Let's go, let's continue." Tianqi led the three of them on their way.
"Brother, why are you so afraid of him? Even if he really is a Konoha ninja, it's okay for us to investigate him," the younger ninja asked the older one, puzzled.
"Are all the young people these days so ignorant? Have you ever heard of the 'Konoha Asura' from the Cloud Ninja?" The older ninja asked the younger ninja with a look of disdain.
"Konoha Shura! You mean he's the Uchiha Tenki who slaughtered a hundred ninjas on the battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure! That Shura!" The young ninja's face showed immediate horror.
"Of course, to the enemy he's a killing god, but to us he's a guardian hero. Why would I investigate him? I'd be wasting my time!" The older ninja's face also showed admiration. "I wish I could be like him."
Because of the previous great battle, the Cloud Ninja directly called Tianqi "Shura," and the newly appointed Third Raikage, A, also acknowledged this title. That's right, A became a Kage at almost the same time as Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After traveling for four days.
"Once we leave the Land of Fire, let's find a place to rest. We've traveled several roads, and everyone is tired. I know there's a hot spring inn ahead; let's go there and get something to eat and replenish our supplies," Tianqi said, pointing ahead.
"Hot springs! Let's go quickly!" Upon hearing about the hot springs, Jiraiya, who had been traveling for several days, immediately became interested and rushed out.
"That idiot!" Tsunade and Orochimaru cursed, then rushed out as well. They were indeed exhausted after traveling for several days. They had Tianqi chatting with them up ahead, but after Tianqi stopped talking, they had been feeling incredibly stifled for the past few days.
“Tang He has now left the Land of Fire, so he should not be far from the Land of Hot Water, right?” Tian Qi did not rush out with them, but instead talked to Tang He.
"Yes, we've been traveling like crazy these past few days, so time has indeed flown by. We'll be able to enter the Land of Hot Springs in another day." As they got closer and closer to the Land of Hot Springs, Yuwa was overjoyed.
"You need to be careful. Those ninjas haven't appeared for a long time. You need to be on your guard from now on," Tianqi said to Tang He.
"I'm cheering myself up, what about you?"
"Me? Those ninjas shouldn't be so foolish as to come looking for me. Even if they do, I'm not afraid. At worst, a few more people will just die. But you're different," Tianqi teased Tang He directly.
"This, this, this won't do! I'm no match for those ninjas!" Tang and Jian Tianqi panicked as they said this.
"Haha, relax, I'm here to keep you safe. I was just joking with you, how boring." Seeing Tang He's panic, Tian Qi stopped teasing him and headed towards the hotel.
"Hehe," Tang He wiped the sweat from his brow and forced a smile, inwardly cursing, "A joke? Playing with my life like that isn't funny at all!"
The group then arrived at the hot spring hotel one after another.
“Hey, there’s a hot spring inn,” Jiraiya said.
“Hmm! There really is a hot spring inn,” Orochimaru chimed in.
"So what if it's there? Brother Tianqi already said so. Hmm, it really is called 'Youjia Hot Spring Inn.' This owner must be uncultured to come up with such a name," Tsunade complained as she looked at the inn's sign.
"Isn't this a good name? It's a hot spring inn, it's unique, it's my style, I like it." With that, Tianqi walked straight in. He had only been to this inn once before when he got lost on his way back to Konoha after completing a mission (the ninja world is so big, getting lost once is normal).
"Welcome!" the owner greeted with a smile.
"Boss, give me four rooms and some good food, I'm starving!" Tianqi said, handing the boss a wad of cash with great enthusiasm.
"Good guest, would you like to eat here or in your room?" The owner's smile became even brighter as he looked at the thick wad of cash.
"Let's eat here." Tianqi didn't have the habit of eating in his room.
"Okay, please have a seat. The food will be here soon, please wait a moment." After saying that, the boss went down to prepare the food.
After they finished speaking, the group sat down at the table in the hall and began to drink tea.
"Brother Tianqi, there are five of us, why did you only book four rooms?" Jiraiya asked Tianqi in confusion.
“We’ll each have our own room, but you and Orochimaru will share a room,” Tianqi said, pointing to Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
"I'm fine with anything," Orochimaru said coldly. He really didn't care about these trivial matters, but Jiraiya was the same way.
"No, I disagree! Why are you all in your own rooms while I have to share with Orochimaru? It's not fair!" Jiraiya immediately began his protest.
Bang!
The teacup in Tianqi's hand was crushed. "If you don't want to, you can sleep outside," Tianqi threatened, glaring at Jiraiya.
"Okay, okay, fine." Seeing that Tianqi had started threatening him directly, Jiraiya immediately backed down.
After finishing their meal, everyone went straight to the room door. The four rooms were all close together.
"Tang He will stay in the first room, I will stay in the second room, Tsunade will stay in the third room, and Jiraiya and Orochimaru will stay in the fourth room," Tian Qi said, looking at the row of rooms and immediately began making arrangements.
"Alright, everyone, you're free to do as you please now." Tianqi handed out the room keys to everyone and pulled Tang He towards the hot spring.
"Ah! Soothing! Soaking in the hot spring seems to wash away all the fatigue of the past few days." Tian Qi lay naked in the hot spring water, showing an expression of enjoyment.
"I didn't want to soak in the hot spring, why did you drag me here?" Tang He said to Tian Qi. He would rather lie in bed and rest than soak in the hot spring.
"I didn't want to bring you either, but I was afraid you'd die in the room," Tianqi said with a look of enjoyment.
"This... you mean there are enemies here?" Tang He carefully observed his surroundings.
I don't know if there are enemies, but it's always better to be careful.
Upon hearing Tianqi's words, Tang He remained silent. He followed Tianqi's example and lay down as well. After they had been soaking for more than ten minutes, a white-haired boy walked in.
He carefully entered the water, then slowly approached the hot spring, stopping near the women's bathhouse. He then stuck his buttocks up and pressed his face against the crack in the wooden plank to observe.
He opened one eye and saw Jiraiya, who was naked and secretly peeping. "Like master, like disciple. He's exactly like Sarutobi."
Tianqi dived underwater and slowly approached Jiraiya, intending to play a trick on him. As he got closer, Tianqi reached out and slapped Jiraiya's bare buttocks.
Snap!
"Ouch! Who hit Jiraiya-sama?!" Jiraiya cried out in pain and turned to look at the people in the hot spring. There were only a few people in the hot spring at this time, besides Yu and three elderly people. Jiraiya observed for a long time but could not find anyone who hit him.
Tian Qi, standing in the water, smiled directly. "This idiot, he can't even see it right in front of him."
"That's strange, is it just my imagination?" Because of the steam from the hot spring, he couldn't see what was underwater. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Jiraiya turned back to look at the women's bathhouse.
