No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Kyosuke ordered a sumptuous breakfast.
In his words, he was still growing up, so he could tolerate anything except food that had to be perfect.
"Extravagance." Mito naturally sneered at him out of habit, but she soon got her comeuppance.
"What for?" Kyosuke looked at her puzzledly. "This is what I ordered myself. If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself."
"...Okay, you are cruel enough." The bald man sat aside angrily, took out some dry food from his bag, and took a big bite without saying a word.
It seems that he mistook the pancake for some bastard Uchiha.
"Eat it sparingly, that's your food rations for the next few days." Kyosuke, with his mouth full of greasy food, didn't forget to stab her.
"What do you care about?"
"Okay, just don't beg me then."
Looking at the girl's back, Kyosuke smiled mischievously, thinking that the little girl was so arrogant, she must be well adjusted... no, she must be tempered.
Otherwise, you will easily suffer great losses in the future.
He took out the sealed scroll from his pocket, found the one with the word "rice" engraved on it, and packed up the food prepared by the boss.
It's a very extravagant practice. The value of a sealing scroll is more than a hundred times that of a meal. No normal person would do this.
However, Kyosuke was not an ascetic monk. He would never suffer in vain if he could enjoy happiness.
As the commander of the legion, he could carry a large number of blank scrolls with him.
It's the clan's money anyway, so it's a waste not to take it.
Little did he know that his actions were seen by someone with ulterior motives.
The two young kids sealed the scrolls and packed up the food.
It's almost as if he had the words "I am a fat sheep" carved on his forehead.
If the observer didn't go up and grab a hand, he would feel sorry for his job.
Soon, Kyosuke and his companion were surrounded by a group of bandits.
"Boy, if you know what's good for you, follow me. Otherwise, I'll stab you!"
Upon hearing this, Kyosuke took a deep breath. Are bandits so advanced now?
Threatening someone is like stabbing his gallbladder, so he will suffer to death by himself.
It was obvious that Miss Mito did not have his spirit of self-entertainment.
I was already full of anger, and now I encountered a group of blind bandits. I can only blame them for being blind.
The chakra suddenly burst out, and the originally quiet girl instantly turned into a ferocious beast, rushing into the crowd and causing everyone and horses to fall to the ground.
This made Kyosuke scream non-stop: "Oh, you are too violent and bloody."
"They just wanted to stab our gallbladders, why did you stab our kidneys as well?"
"You will never get married in the future."
The remaining thieves even felt like crying.
Big brother, please stop talking. Besides, we probably can't save the remaining kidney.
Grabbing the middle-aged thief in front of him, Mito demanded in a cold tone, "Tell me, how many accomplices do you have? How many evil things have you done?"
"Please spare my life..." The middle-aged thief had a sad face, but he did a good job of concealing the murderous intent in his eyes.
Just when the bald man was about to torture him, the thief who looked like an ordinary person suddenly burst out with chakra comparable to that of an elite Chūnin.
In less than a second, he completed the counterattack, and now it was Mito's turn to become the prey.
"You!" Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes widened. She didn't expect that she could be deceived so easily.
Moreover, this person was so powerful, why would he fall to the point of robbing passers-by?
"Foolish fellow." Putting the kunai against the girl's neck, the middle-aged man sneered darkly, "Just be obedient. Now that you have seen my strength, you will die today."
"People must pay for their own stupidity."
"Listen." Kyosuke looked at the girl with dismay and said, "There's nothing wrong with what they taught you. You must take it to heart. Remember?"
"I'll remember, uncle..." The Chūnin who was the robber and Mito, who was the hostage, were both a little confused.
It's already this late, and you still have the mind to joke with me?
Just as he was about to threaten him further, the man suddenly realized that the boy in front of him had disappeared.
It wasn't that kind of high-speed movement, but he had just vanished from the spot very suddenly.
"Are you looking for me?"
The teasing voice in his ears made the man feel scared and he turned his head subconsciously.
Then, he saw a pair of strange blood-red eyes.
Clang! The kunai fell to the ground, and the man stood there like a zombie, letting the hostage escape from his control.
"Genjutsu?" Mito frowned. He didn't expect that this guy was proficient in the use of Genjutsu.
At such a young age, it's a bit too much to be omnipotent.
Ignoring Mito's doubts, Kyosuke looked at the robber and asked calmly, "Who are you?"
She was not the kind of girl who was inexperienced in the world. The appearance of the middle-aged ninja must have a deep meaning behind it.
No matter what, we had caught up, so there was no harm in asking in detail.
"My name is Jiichiro Sarutobi, and I'm a Chūnin of the Sarutobi clan. I've been ordered to kill merchants along the way to raise funds for the clan's war."
The Sarutobi clan is one of the most famous clans in the Land of Fire. After the establishment of Konoha, some of their clan members became disciples of Tobirama Senju.
That was the future Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Unexpectedly, such a famous clan in the Warring States Period was doing such dirty things in private.
Not to mention Mito Uzumaki, even Kyosuke felt a little ashamed.
"What do you want to do?" Mito stared at him, as if expecting something.
As a result, Kyosuke killed the man without saying a word and just swung his kunai.
"You're just a passing ninja, and you want to act like a hero?"
Glancing at the mere 200 points, Kyosuke sneered, turned around and continued on his way: "Let's go, if you don't want to continue to be the Uzumaki clan's sworn enemy."
This sentence really hit her sore spot.
The Sarutobi clan is very powerful, and their combat methods, combined with the summoning of beasts, are mysterious and unpredictable. It is said that the clan is also vaguely connected to the Three Great Sage Regions.
If they provoke them, it will be difficult for the Uzumaki clan not to pay the price.
"I was still too inconsiderate."
They traveled in silence all the way, and soon they were approaching the eastern territory of the Land of Fire.
Little did he know that someone had already followed him quietly.
Even someone as strong as Kyosuke couldn't detect anything unusual. It was unclear whether the person was too strong or had some special way of hiding.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Mito finally asked the key question.
"Looking for help, you know that." Kyosuke blinked and pretended to be crazy.
In desperation, Mito could only continue to ignore the other party.
She wanted to see what kind of help this guy could find.
There are forces that can rival the Uzumaki clan, but the key is: how can you convince them to take action?
