Nan Ming took Xiaoxue from the clone's hand, who was about to pass out. He found a hidden cave nearby, lit a bonfire casually, and then took out simple first aid equipment from his pocket. It might have been the cold air of the Land of Snow. As a result, Fenghua Xiaoxue's injuries were not further infected.

She helped Xiaoxue clean and disinfect the wound, and then gently bandaged it. She took out a blanket from her backpack and wrapped Xiaoxue's body tightly.

After doing all this, Nan Ming stood up and wanted to get something to eat, but Xiaoxue's little hand gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Don't go...I...I am afraid..."Xiaoxue's lips were purple, her face was pale, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon. If you don't eat something now, I'm afraid you will faint in a while. Don't worry, no one will hurt you. Nan Ming coaxed softly.

Looking at Xiaoxue's insecure look, Nan Ming smiled helplessly, then stretched out his left hand and gently squeezed Xiaoxue's fleshy palm.

There were tears in Xiaoxue's eyes, but She nodded slightly. She had just lost her father, and the Nan Ming in front of her was the only person she could rely on now.

Nan Ming leaned down again and gently touched Xiaoxue's head. After that, she walked out of the cave and placed a hand at the door. A few pine branches were used to cover up the firelight, and then he started hunting.

The firelight flickered, and Xiaoxue didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up again, the tip of his nose was full of baked food. The meat smells delicious.

Before Xiaoxue opened her eyes, she couldn't help but swallowed. Nan Ming chuckled lightly when he saw this, and then put a skewer of roast rabbit into Xiaoxue's hand.

"woke up? Freshly baked, eat."

Xiaoxue took a small taste and then started to feast. This skewer of rabbit meat was not seasoned, but the person who grilled it had good control over the heat and knife skills, so that a mediocre skewer of roasted rabbit meat could be cooked. It became delicious.

What's more, the long-term high tension and the pain of losing his father had made Fenghua Xiaoxue physically and mentally exhausted. When a person is hungry, anything he eats is delicious.

After a while, Xiaoxue finished the rabbit meat. She touched her belly and leaned against the rock wall with satisfaction.

Nan Ming took a bunch of hers and finished eating it. She put the wooden skewers made of wooden sticks into the bonfire to serve as fuel. Then she lay down on a simple bed she had just made with leaves.

"May I have your name?"Fenghua Xiaoxue asked softly

"Uchiha Minami."Nan Ming looked at the child's pure eyes without impurities, and somehow told him his real name.

"You don't look big, do you?...Why choose to be a ninja? Xiaoxue asked.

Nan Ming smiled,"Then why did you block the arrow for me?""

The two questions seemed to be completely unrelated, which made Xiaoxue stunned.

"Of course it is...I think you are someone worthy of my trust, so I want to protect you. Nan

Ming slowly closed his eyes,"Ninjas are such a profession. Whether in missions or in life, there will always be people who need to be protected, and ninjas are heroes who dare to give their lives for the things they protect."

"hero...?"Xiaoxue seemed to have thought of something,"Is your father a hero?"

Nan Ming's eyes couldn't help but soften a little,"Yes, Xiaoxue, you are the person your father would rather give his life to protect.""

"And those who deprive others of their lives for their own selfish desires are outright villains. Your uncle is a typical example."

Speaking of this, Nan Ming suddenly thought of the man who claimed to be her uncle, and she couldn't help but frown in disgust.

"Is it...It would be better if I were stronger so that my father wouldn’t..."A tear fell from the corner of Xiaoxue's eyes, and she slowly lost her voice.

Nan Ming saw that the other party had not said anything for a long time, so he looked up at Xiaoxue and saw that the other party had fallen into a deep sleep, and silently withdrew his gaze.

She looked at the top of the cave and suddenly remembered the figure that had never appeared again.

"red..."

Nan Ming's brows gradually tightened

"What exactly is your purpose."

Early tomorrow morning, Nan Ming checked Xiaoxue's injury. After confirming that it had not worsened, the two of them went to the Kingdom of Iron together.

As for Chi, Nan Ming didn't care what that person did. He didn't know the other person's condition yet. What is your true level? You are in the light while the other party is in the dark. Taking rash actions will only be detrimental to you. For now, the primary goal is to complete the task.

After half a day of traveling, Nan Ming and Xiao Xue, one large and one small, have walked to the Kingdom of Iron. , and what troubles Nan Ming is that the inns in the Iron Kingdom cannot be said to be everywhere, but they can be considered to have everything. According to the speed of each household looking for them, I am afraid that it will take several years to find them.

And the two After a day's journey, she was hungry and tired. Just when Nan Ming had no thoughts, she saw the entrance of an alley full of people, chattering quite lively, and compared with the street, the whole street It actually seemed a lot more deserted.

Nan Ming had nothing to do, so he walked into the alley with Xiaoxue.

At the end of the dim street was a small square space that was spliced ​​together like several garages. There were various shakers and gambling machines inside the store. Nan Ming could tell at a glance that as a coach in her previous life, many boxers were willing to play gambling machines for half a day every day as a pastime. After all, rich people, They don’t take money seriously.

For example, Nan Ming saw at a glance that there was a blond-haired, brown-eyed woman in the middle, shouting her own slogan enthusiastically.

"one!"

The person on the other side seemed to have figured out the pattern. While staring at the giant peak in front of the woman, he raised his hand and said the number he was betting.

"pair."

The waiter stopped shaking the dice, then put the tray on the table and lifted the lid. Inside were two twos and a six.

Tsunade didn't seem to care, and just waved her hand to the girl next to her. The silver box was placed on the table, and the girl opened the box, which was full of banknotes.

Even though she knew how generous Tsunade was, it was the first time in this world that she saw so much money. You know, Nan Ming She could only get a wad of money after working hard every day to do tasks. If she didn't have a house where she could live for free, and if the monthly daily expenses were added to the rent, she would really have no money to protect Konoha.

And After seeing the man take half a box of money, Nan Ming walked directly towards Tsunade

"Okay, okay, hurry up and find the next person to play with me!"Tsunade said impatiently

"I come." Nan Ming said slowly.

I saw a ten-year-old child walking slowly from the crowd, holding a little girl in his arms. She was wearing a black Uchiha long-sleeved shirt with a stand-up collar and black training pants. On her left shoulder A Konoha forehead protector was tied, and the Uchiha clan emblem armband was tattooed on the right sleeve.

Nan Ming put Xiaoyuki on the ground and told her not to leave his side.

Tsunade had a lot of beer cans in her hand. , her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were wandering. It took her a while to lock her eyes on Nan Ming.

"Um? Imp...Are you an adult?"Tsunade drunkenly pointed at Nan Ming and said.

The man just now was stuffing money into his pocket. He looked up at Nan Ming with disdain.

"It doesn't matter if you are an adult or not, the guards here won't check, but if you want to play at the same table with her, you have to fight someone and win before you can play."

Almost all here are tall, fat men. Everyone has stubble on their faces and their beer bellies are so fat that they are about to burst through their clothes."

"Who to fight?"Nan Ming shrugged indifferently.

"See who among them wants to fight you, and if you don't choose, pick again."The man counted the money and then snapped his fingers.

After a few seconds, someone stood up voluntarily. The man was half a meter taller than Nan Ming. He was tall and upright.

"Yamada-san, that's not necessary, it's just a child." said the man

"Look at her other two knives, do you still think she is a child?"The man named Yamada said in a deep voice.

As soon as he said this, everyone turned their attention to the swords on Nan Ming's waist. One was black and the other was white. This made Nan Ming feel a little confused.

"This is...The sword made by Brother Gray Ape? ?"

"Damn it, the one who paid a lot of money for an interview but didn't even give him face?"

"He is a hero who protects the country, and it is too late for the famous people to hold it."

Everyone was talking about it, and the noise was endless. At this time, Tsunade slapped the table, and one of the table legs broke.

"It's just you, come and play with me."

Nan Ming didn't talk nonsense. He took two bottles of beer from other places and stacked them under the broken table legs. Then he sat on the chair opposite Tsunade. As for the gray ape that the gang was talking about, Nan Ming Although curious, a large box of money in front of him is the right way in the world.

Nan Ming looked down at the table, and then smiled.

In the next ten rounds of games, Nan Ming won with a crushing victory. Tsunade pocketed a whole box of money.

"As expected of a fat sheep."Nan Ming stood up and patted the dust on her pants, ready to leave.

Then she looked at Tsunade and pointed at the legs of the table.

"I bought those two bottles of wine, and those two special magnets under the table make much more money than your box."

Tsunade was slightly startled when she heard this, and with one hand she overturned the entire table.

The two magnets were sucked under the table, reflecting bright light under the shining neon lights.
