Zhihuo walked alone on the national road to the capital of the Land of Fire.

In the original world, by the time he was born, the Fire Country was long gone. After all, he was born in the third year of the Imperial calendar.

Regarding the news about the Fire Country and Konoha Village, he heard it from others.

There was no peace within the empire. Many people longed to return to the period of the Five Great Nations. He had heard a lot about the Land of Fire and the Leaf Village from those people.

It was an era where the will of fire was burning, and it was both passionate and full of bonds.

In that era, the bond between people was so deep that two people with different surnames were even willing to sacrifice themselves for each other.

The Fire Country prospered under the joint management of daimyo and nobles. Everyone was running well in their respective positions, and the atmosphere was not as solemn as the empire at all.

The Emperor said that the atmosphere in the Empire was like that because it was a period of preparation for war. A powerful enemy was about to come, and they must be prepared to face everything.

But now, Zhihuo is a little skeptical of the good times those people talk about.

Zhihuo looked at the refugees on both sides of the avenue in confusion.

Why are there so many refugees? Why doesn’t anyone care about these people?

Through small talk, Zhihuo also figured out the origin of this group of refugees.

This bottle of refugees all came from the Kingdom of Sichuan. Due to God’s unkindness, the Kingdom of Sichuan encountered a severe drought that was rare in a century, causing many farmers in the Kingdom of Sichuan to lose their harvest.

The scenery of the Kingdom of Rivers is close to that of the Kingdom of Winds. Due to its proximity to the desert, water resources have always been relatively scarce. Once there is a drought, there will be a large number of refugees, and there will even be a phenomenon of people exchanging children for food.

There is something incomprehensible about Zhihuo.

Doesn’t the Sichuan country have any food reserves? You must know that the empire stores part of the food every year during the harvest, in order to prevent food crises due to natural disasters.

And things like drought are easy to deal with. You just need to send a thousand ninjas who are good at water escape to artificially rain.

“Could it be that the Bear Country couldn’t even get together a ninja with a thousand water escapes?”Zhihuo didn’t understand this.

Zhihuo, who was full of doubts, curiously joined the popular team. Jiraiya, who had been following him, smiled happily when he saw this scene.

It seems that his guess was true, This intruder from the opinion is indeed a compassionate person

“Old people, where are you going?”Zhihuo asked the old man curiously

“We are going to the capital of the Country of Fire. We heard that the capital of the Country of Fire is extremely prosperous and we can beg or sell ourselves to those noble lords there.

Of course, those nobles will definitely look down on a bad old man like me, but my granddaughter should be able to……”

After the old man finished speaking, he touched the head of the skinny little girl next to him with a sad expression.

If not for survival, who would be willing to give up freedom and personality?

Zhihuo exclaimed:”Sell yourself into slavery?”

The old man nodded.

Oh my God! Slavery? Damn slavery! This world actually still retains this evil system?

You must know that slavery has long been abolished in the empire, and human trafficking is absolutely prohibited in the empire. Those who violate this rule may even be sentenced to death.

Thinking of this, Zhihuo looked a little dazed.

Come to think of it… the empire had been established less than 20 years ago, and slavery had only been banned for 20 years.

Thinking of this, Zhihuo couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Zhihuo finally had a hint of malice toward the world.

Zhihuo suppressed his inner discomfort and asked:”Do the nobles of your country not care about you?”

The old man shrugged his shoulders and sneered:”The noble gentlemen will not care about us refugees, especially when everyone is having a hard time.”

Zhihuo Frowning, didn’t Asima say that the people under the rule of the aristocracy lived happily? So what do these things in front of me count?

Not far away, Jiraiya, who had been quietly studying Shisui’s face, raised his eyebrows.

Have you begun to have ill will towards the world?

Is it because of these refugees? Or is it because of the inaction of the nobles?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya felt a little anxious.

You can’t lose hope in this world!

Jiraiya, who was thinking this way, interjected very familiarly:”Don’t look at their hopeless appearance. As long as they arrive in the capital of the Country of Fire, there will be many nobles and businessmen willing to accept them. After all, them……”

“After all, they are very cheap labor!”

Jiraiya did not say the latter sentence, but added it silently in his heart.

After hearing this, Zhihuo looked at Jiraiya thoughtfully and asked:”You don’t look like a refugee? Jiraiya opened his mouth and said,”I am a native of the Fire Country.”

Jiraiya introduced himself:”You don’t seem to be from the Fire Country, right?” Do you need a guide? I am very familiar with the Fire Country!”

Zhihuo squinted his eyes and looked at Jiraiya for a moment and then nodded.

Zhihuo could tell at a glance that Jiraiya was actually a ninja. The traces of the transformation technique were too strong, and he also knew that the other party must have something to do with approaching him. What is the purpose?

Zhihuo, who is interested in gathering information, is a ninja who has come into contact with this world for the first time. Although he does not know the reason why Jiraiya approaches him, Zhihuo has no intention of exposing Jiraiya.

“You must be a ninja, right? Zhihuo asked confidently. Jiraiya nodded.

After hearing that Jiraiya was actually a ninja, several refugees nearby seemed to have seen the god of plague and scattered like snakes and scorpions.

In this world, Ninja is not a good word, because the appearance of ninja is often accompanied by bad luck and destruction.

For civilians, ninja is a moving disaster that may bring death at any time.

Seeing this scene, Zhihuo wrinkled again He raised his eyebrows.

Are ninjas so unpopular in this world?
