Chapter 21 Why are you here? (Please read and collect!) (Ch 21)

Three days passed like this.
Every day, Haru disguises himself as an ordinary villager or Chunin from the Hidden Rain Village, wandering around this land that never stops crying.
“The art of spiritual communication.”
In a cave outside the Hidden Rain Village, Haruki summoned his ninja cat.
“Kuroka, please ask Granny Cat to pass this to Fugaku-senpai for me.”
Qingguang held the black kitten with soft fur under its chin with both hands and scratched it with his fingers.
“Hurulu~Hurulu~”
The owner’s warm palm made it squint its eyes comfortably and its pupils dilated.
After a few minutes, Qingguang withdrew his hands.
“Okay, I still have to continue my mission. I’ll play with you when I get back. You go back first.”
Heihua sat upright on the ground, lifting her chubby pads as if asking for something.
“Don’t worry, there are some.”
He took out a small bottle from the ninja tool bag, which was filled with dried and crushed nepeta.
It is what people commonly call catnip.
“Meow~”
The black cat held it in front of its nose with its paws and sniffed it, looking ecstatic.
Upon seeing this, Qingguang stuffed the scroll into the small leather bag on Heihua’s back.
He then lifted the spiritual spell, sent Heihua back to its original place, and immediately set off towards his destination.
The Land of Rain is not large, and even though he had to avoid many places guarded by ninjas along the way, Qingguang arrived at the agreed gathering place in less than a day.
We arrived at a small town on the east side where the River Kingdom, Rain Kingdom and Wind Kingdom meet.
It rains all year round in the Rain Kingdom, and almost all rivers flow through the River Kingdom and finally into the sea.
This is also the origin of the name of the River Country.
Relying on its advantageous geographical location, the scenery and prosperity of this town are no less than some villages and towns in the Fire Country.
You can even see quite a few wandering ninjas on the streets.
As for the ninjas of the ninja village, they will naturally not reveal their identities easily at this time.
“I don’t know who my teammates will be.”
After Qingguang muttered to himself, he walked towards the hotel recorded in the mission.
As soon as he stepped into the hotel, Qingguang heard the welcome from the counter staff.
“Welcome, guest.”
Nodding and smiling in response, Qingguang said, “I want the room with the highest position, where the view is good. By the way, please help me get a bowl of ramen from the barbecue restaurant outside, with half a pound of venison.”
The man at the counter responded, “Sir, there are no restaurants around that sell venison. Is beef okay?”
“I don’t eat beef. Switch to half a pound of pork. Don’t eat any fat. Cut it into thin slices for me and serve with oil, vinegar and chili.”
The man immediately responded: “No problem, sir, the third room on the left side of the roof.”
Then he handed the key to Qingguang and blinked twice.
Qingguang immediately understood what he meant and tapped the table twice with his fingers, one hard and one light.
Then he immediately went to the rooftop.
The man just now was one of the secret agents of Konoha’s intelligence department.
The words spoken also matched the codes recorded in the scroll.
However, Qingguang did not expect that his teammates, whom he had never met before, had arrived here in advance.
Qingguang walked up the stairs, came to the house and put the key into the keyhole.
After turning left, right, and right several times, he finally entered the room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw three familiar people sitting around the coffee table, holding playing cards in their hands.
The three of them looked at Qingguang in unison, revealing different expressions.
Unexpected, surprising, and meaningful.
“Qingguang, I didn’t expect it to be you!”
Jiraiya walked straight forward, put his arm around Haruki’s shoulders, and patted his shoulder with a laugh.
Bring it to the coffee table and sit down.
“Come on, come on, play cards with us. Tsunade has lost so many games. Let’s see if you can change her luck.”
When Tsunade heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the disappointment she had felt from losing more than a dozen games in a row was swept away at this moment.
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ve never played cards with you, Qingguang. Come on, let me see your card skills.”
Taking advantage of the situation, Tsunade snatched the cards from Jiraiya and Orochimaru’s hands and stuffed them directly into the deck and started shuffling.
Phew~ That was a close call. I almost lost again.
Jiraiya looked at his empty palms, then at Tsunade’s happy face as she shuffled the cards, and immediately understood Tsunade’s thoughts.
“Qingguang is here, we can’t just let him wait, right?”
“The last one doesn’t count, let’s start from this one.”
Tsunade shuffled the cards skillfully and began to deal them out one by one.
Harukitsu was sitting opposite him, and seeing Tsunade’s actions, he subconsciously thought of four words.
The dealer deals the cards.
Tsunade had bad luck in gambling and almost never won, but she was very skilled in basic skills like shuffling cards and rolling dice.
While holding the cards in his hand, Qingguang looked at the three people and asked in confusion: “Big sister, Jiraiya-senpai, Orochimaru-senpai, are you three not going to continue the mission?”
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly. Tsunade’s attention was on the cards, and she pointed at Orochimaru next to her.
“Let him talk to you. I want to see the cards.”
“Harumitsu-kun, we have done our best to stir up conflicts between Sand Village and Rain Village during this period.”
“But the Hidden Rain Village showed almost no reaction. They just accepted it and didn’t resist.”
“We even learned the day before yesterday that Hanzo personally wrote a letter of apology to the Sandagakure Kazekage, and the messenger was his right-hand man, Kamida, who was directly rejected.”
Jiraiya nodded: “Yes, given Hanzo’s attitude, I think there is no chance that he will start a war.”
“If I were Hanzo, I would definitely rush up and fight that Kazekage one-on-one.”
A puzzled look appeared on Qingguang’s face. While playing cards, he told the information he had learned recently.
“No wonder the ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village have been so frustrated and angry recently. It turns out it’s because of this incident.”
“What about the mission Hokage-sama assigned to us? Are we just going to give up on it?”
Tsunade nodded and said with a sad face: “What else? After more than ten days of hard work, there is not even a splash. If we continue to waste time, it will only be a waste of time.”
“Anyway, I did the job. Don’t try to use the mission failure as an excuse to not pay me.”
“If he dares not to send it, I will tear down his Hokage building.”
Suddenly, Tsunade jumped up suddenly, the giant in front of her jumped up and down, and she threw four cards directly on the coffee table with excitement on her face.
“Bomb, I only have two cards left!”
There is still one pair of two left, and she just played four aces. No matter how you think about it now, this is a sure win, right?
Could it be possible that both the big and small kings out there could be in the hands of one person?
She didn’t believe it. Isn’t this playing cards with her life?
Orochimaru and Jiraiya shook their heads, indicating that they couldn’t afford it.
Tsunade’s eyes were now fixed on Harukitsu, she bent over and supported herself on the table with one hand.
What a big, white card.
You can tell at first glance that it was newly dismantled.
Haruki chuckled twice, which made Tsunade’s smile even wider.
I’m finally going to win!
“King bomb.”
