After setting off, it only took Neji's team three days and three nights to reach Kumogakure Village.

Yunyin Village, peripheral villages and towns.

In the small hotel room, Neji took out a set of kimonos from the Hyuga clan and handed it to Kimimaro.

"This is..." Kimimaro asked blankly.

"Put it on, it won't be good for you to meet the Raikage like this." Neji said calmly.

Ino looked and saw that there were indeed many holes in Kimimaro's back. He shrugged and said, "Everything else about your bloodline is fine, but it's a bit expensive to wear."

At this time, Kakashi opened the door and walked in.

"Everything is taken care of. We can stay here for one night and have a good rest tonight. After all, we have only rested for less than twelve hours in the past three days."

Although it is recognized that Neji is the captain, Kakashi's position in Konoha should be above Neji.

It's just that because the person who accepted the mission this time was Neji, Kakashi only came to accompany him on behalf of Konoha's senior management, and he still called Neji the captain casually.

Neji nodded, turned to Ino and said, "Your room is at the back, but you can stay here before going to bed."

Ino stretched a lot, looked outside, and said, "I didn't expect Yunyin Village to be so prosperous..."

I could see people shouting outside the window.

It was around seven or eight o'clock in the evening. People in Yunyin Village had not yet finished their day of carnival, and life seemed to have just begun.

"Then, let's choose a place to have dinner?" Ino suddenly laughed evilly.

Then he looked at Kakashi and said: "Kakashi-sensei~ I heard from Sakura that Kakashi-sensei is very generous and often invites Class 7 to eat!"

"Uh, this..."

Kakashi frowned and looked at Ino's expectant gaze.

Not only did he sigh heavily, it seemed that he could not escape this meal.

"But it doesn't matter. It's hard to come to Yunyin Village. First of all, of course, you have to experience the local food."

Neji didn't stop him. Although he came with the confidence that he was bound to win this time, since he was here to negotiate, he would not go to meet the Raikage with a war mentality.

It is also appropriate to relax appropriately.

…

In the small restaurant, several people were sitting in the innermost private room.

Kakashi looked at his almost empty pocket and shed a drop of cold sweat.

Neji took a deep breath and his expression gradually calmed down.

After having enough wine and food, everyone's spirits were relaxed to the best of their ability.

Neji said: "Konoha is a country of etiquette and must behave like a great country. Therefore, if the other party has no intention of taking action, pay attention to your attitude."

Kakashi frowned slightly and smiled bitterly: "Neji, you should understand, right? Cloud Hidden Village is the hidden village that has always claimed to be the strongest..."

Ino also nodded and said: "Yes, with such arrogance, how can you negotiate properly with other countries?"

But Ningci just thought about himself and said: "No, don't worry about this. Just do what we do well. As long as they have no intention of taking action, our attitude must be corrected. But what I mean is..."

He was silent for a moment, his eyes wandering.

"If they dare to take action, we won't have any worries."

Neji's words made Kakashi frown slightly.

Neji's ability is obvious to all the Jonin of Konoha Village, and Kakashi certainly understands it, but this is Kumogakure Village, and if you continue to act in Neji's tough way, there may be problems.

"Now that we are in someone else's territory, let's not hold out too much hope. After all, the current ruler is not the same one who caused the disputes between the Hyuga clan."

Neji sneered: "Whatever, it's all Cloud Hidden Village anyway, isn't it? And even if the father's debt is repaid by the son, it's a matter of course."

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Someone seemed to be making a noise outside.

"asshole!"

The sounds and music of the dispute came in, and everyone was a little concerned.

"I'll go take a look." Kimimaro stood up and went outside to take a look.

"Kimimaro, this is the residential area of ​​Kumogakure Village. The people here are ordinary people, not ninjas. Although we don't wear forehead protectors, you should know what your actions represent, right?"

Neji reminded.

"Um."

Then Kimimaro went out.

"Ah, Kimimaro looks stupid, but he still understands very well in his heart!" Ino said.

Kakashi suddenly asked: "Neji, why did you bring Kimimaro back? Isn't he a subordinate of Orochimaru? Do you know that the last death of the Fourth Kazekage was related to Kimimaro's secret bone veins?"

Is it closely related to technique?"

Ino realized belatedly, looked at Neji, and murmured hesitantly: "Yes...Kimimaro has done this kind of thing before. The Fourth Kazekage's bloodline is said to be able to manipulate placer gold, which is better than

Gaara also used more powerful placer gold instead of sand, and its hardness was very strong. But Orochimaru relied on Kimimaro's corpse veins to forcefully break through the Fourth Kazekage's defense and successfully assassinate him. Now, Kazekage

Everyone in the country probably hates Kimimaro, right?"

Of course, Ino was not worried about Kimimaro, but worried that Neji would receive some unfair treatment because of Kimimaro.

"I don't care about that kind of thing, I only care about his ability. But the difference between me and Orochimaru is..."

Neji chuckled lightly, and both Kakashi and Ino could feel the confidence in his smile.

"I can completely suppress him and prevent him from having any delusions."

"Ah! Help! Kill someone!"

There was a commotion outside, and the three of them looked at each other.

"What happened?"

Ino was the first to rush out.

I saw Kimimaro surrounded by a crowd of people, and a girl behind him was guarding him tremblingly.

When Neji and Kakashi followed up together, Ino had already understood the matter with each other.

Later, she came back and explained to Ningji: "They should be local gamblers. This little girl's father owed them money and ran away, and they wanted the little girl's body to pay for it. They forced them to come here and were killed by you."

Maro was saved. But fortunately, Kimimaro didn't use ninjutsu and only injured one of them. Now the other party has to go even harder to compensate..."

"Well, if this happens, then we..." Kakashi was talking, and Neji walked out.

"What did I say? It turns out that I just lost money by gambling, and I just won money by gambling. Why are you so aggressive?"

Neji had already walked out and spoke.

Everyone else's eyes, including those onlookers, also looked at Neji.

They all changed into ordinary clothes, no one wore a ninja uniform or a forehead protector.

"Huh? You look down on gambling so much? Boy, do you know how to gamble?" One of the tall and thick-set men came out and pointed at Neji's nose.

Neci faced it indifferently and said disdainfully: "Although I don't understand it very well, isn't this kind of thing very simple? Well, do you dare to bet with me?"

"Why don't you dare? Can you afford to lose?"

The man's eyes widened and he looked fierce.

Neji snorted coldly, glanced at the girl, and raised his chin.

"Kimimaro, arrest her!"

Kimimaro was startled, but even though he didn't understand what was going on, he still did as he was told.

This is what Neji values ​​​​most about Kimimaro, that is loyalty and strong execution ability!

Neji tilted his neck, chuckled at the bully in front of him, and said, "If I can beat you, the debt this little girl owes you will be paid in full. If you can beat me once, any time, I will

Come and help you deal with this little girl, you can do whatever you want..."

Neji lowered his head and chuckled twice.

The few people looked at each other and seemed to be hesitant.

Ningci added: "Let me remind you, I have never lost a bet with anyone!"

But it was this sentence that angered the other party.
Chapter completed!
