Chapter 204 Kusagakure
Chapter 204 Kusagakure
There was no Flying Thunder God mark left at the location they were going to, so Ye Li immediately decided to buy some things to use on the way.
Half a day later, the three of them, dressed as ninjas and each carrying a bag, set off for the island.
"Brother, we'll reach the Land of Grass after walking a little further."
"Should we rest here for the night, or go into the Land of Grass and find an inn to stay at?"
Kimimaro glanced at the map, his face full of seriousness as he asked.
"Didn't we agree that you would make all the decisions and I would listen to you?" Ye Li pinched his cheek encouragingly.
Kimimaro blushed, making Ye Li's hands itch again.
"Brother Li, let's rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow."
"Bai, go gather firewood, I'll go hunt something for dinner tonight."
"You'll be in charge of setting up the tent for your brother."
Kimimaro quickly arranged what they needed to do, then looked up at Ye Li.
"Very good..." Ye Li praised her without reservation, it would be even better if she didn't have to do any work.
A blush rose on Kimimaro's face upon receiving the praise, and he turned and went into the dense forest to search for prey.
Not to be outdone, Bai also ventured into the dense forest.
The three of them then got busy with their respective tasks.
That evening, the three of them enjoyed a delicious meal together in a pot outside the tent.
"This kind of life seems quite interesting."
This reminded her of how Orochimaru's team often spent time in the wild when they were on missions.
The next morning, the three of them set off for the island again, with Bai in charge of the entire journey.
One person a day is really not a problem.
The Land of Grass and the Land of Fire are completely different worlds; being able to make a living is already considered better than many people.
Currently, there are no major conflicts among the major powers, but smaller countries are constantly embroiled in wars.
They hadn't seen many people along the way, but there had been many robberies.
"Bai, being soft-hearted is the worst thing you can do in this world. I know you are kind, but kindness should be selective."
"Helping people isn't like that...it depends on the situation."
Ye Li patiently instructed the two of them, and it seemed quite effective.
Passing by Kusagakure Village, none of the three had any intention of going in.
The dilapidated house on the outskirts of the village caught Ye Li's attention. "This looks like where Xiangling and her daughter live."
"What's wrong with Brother Li?" Bai looked in the direction Ye Li was looking, but couldn't see anything.
Strange noises could be heard coming from inside the house from time to time, and there was even a faint sound of crying.
"Kids, don't listen!" Ye Li immediately covered their ears.
However, she only had two hands, which couldn't cover her four ears.
After thinking about it, she felt that it would be faster to give the person a ride home.
Without thinking, Ye Li darted to the door of the house and kicked it open.
"boom..."
The sound was so loud that everyone inside turned to look.
"You're not a Kusagakure ninja! Who are you to dare disturb us!"
"Scum like you don't deserve to know my name."
Ye Li's face was icy cold. He made a hand gesture, and instantly, earthen spikes appeared on the ground, killing all of them.
She then entered the room and came to the bedside. "Can you still walk?"
"I can take you away, and your daughter too."
Ye Li glanced at Xiang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face.
"Thank you, but my health is failing. Please take my daughter with you."
"Hurry up and go, they'll be here soon," Xiangling's mother said weakly and with difficulty.
"Mom, I won't go, I won't go..." Xiangling threw herself onto the person lying on the bed, crying uncontrollably.
"Xiangling, it's Mommy's fault. Come with this brother!"
Just then, the sound of fighting came from outside the door.
Ye Li strode out of the house, glanced at them, and immediately decided to let the two of them practice first. They were just a few Chunin, so dealing with them should be easy.
The quality of Chunin in small countries is often questionable, only slightly better than that of Genin in large countries.
Ye Li's lips twitched involuntarily when he thought of the Konoha genin.
"Brother Li, how did we do?" Bai ran over, looking at her expectantly as if waiting for praise.
"Great!" Ye Li smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, Bai, who was a child who couldn't even bring himself to kill a rabbit, would now dare to kill a person?
Kimimaro felt a surge of excitement during this battle; he enjoyed the feeling of fighting.
The sudden loss of so many ninjas in Kusagakure immediately drew the attention of the higher-ups.
Before long, three Kusagakure Jonin, each leading more than a dozen ninjas, surrounded them.
This is not something Kimimaro and Haku can handle right now. They haven't been training for very long, so it's best not to risk their lives.
Ye Li instinctively pulled the two of them behind her to protect them.
"The three of you dare to come to our Kusagakure Village to kill people? You're courting death!" A middle-aged man who looked a bit overweight shouted fiercely.
Ye Li looked the man up and down and said, "You're so fat, you must not train regularly. How did you become a Jonin?"
"Could this be some kind of shady deal?"
"Stop talking nonsense, all of you, charge! I want him dead!" A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the overweight middle-aged man, but he quickly regained his composure and commanded his men to attack.
"Wait a moment, I suggest you look up at the sky," Ye Li kindly pointed.
Upon hearing this, the Grass Village ninja all stopped and looked up at the sky.
Amidst the group's terror, the arrows floating in the sky fell directly down following Ye Li's hand gesture.
"Puff puff puff..."
Before long, only one of the original twenty-odd Grass Village ninjas remained.
The man collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with terror, so much so that he lost control of his bladder...
Ye Li looked at the man, raised two fingers again, and countless arrows instantly floated up in the sky.
"Tell the higher-ups of Kusagakure: if you dare to obstruct us, I won't hesitate to wipe out the entire village!"
"Yes, yes, yes... I'll go right away."
The ninja gave a slurred reply and scrambled away from the spot.
Ye Li withdrew his hand, and the arrows floating in the sky vanished in an instant.
Turning around, she saw Xiangling supporting her mother at the doorway, looking at her with admiration.
Ye Li immediately cast a 'Rejuvenation Spell' over, and a green light entered Xiang Ling's mother's body. Her pale complexion visibly improved, and even the teeth marks on her body faded a bit.
Xiangling's mother, Huiyi, immediately felt her health gradually improving, and all of this was thanks to the person in front of her. She knelt down immediately, "Thank you, sir!"
"No need to thank me. I'm not taking you away for no reason. There are things you need to do when we get there," Ye Li said bluntly.
Huiyi could tell the difference between being bitten by a few people and being bitten by an entire village.
With two more people, their walking speed slowed down considerably. Ye Li didn't mind, but Hui Yi was terrified of being left behind.
In particular, when Ye Li gave them many things that women needed, their fear of being left behind reached its peak.
"I'll rest here tonight!" Ye Li glanced at the huge waterfall from above, and a plan quietly formed in his mind.
Since we're just passing through Takigakure, we might as well catch a tailed beast. But there won't be enough to go around!
