The Land of Wind, as its name suggests, is a very dry country full of sand and sand.

Because of the harsh natural environment of this country, many materials have to be exchanged with the outside world.

Konoha had trade with Sahiin before, but only on a small scale. Now, they have officially started a larger exchange activity.

Konoha's main goods are daily necessities and food crops, and Hoshi heard from her brother that Konoha's main goods are Sahiin's medicine and ninja tools.

A large number of goods and food are provided by private enterprises, and the villagers found it strange that there is also a publishing house that provides a lot of goods. This publishing house has strong financial strength, and it covers a wide range of fields. It has also published Byakugan sensei's manga and a series of related works.

Although Sahiin's natural environment is harsh, the herbs that grow here are of high quality, and there are many rare varieties.

In addition, this harsh environment is good for training ninjas, so Sahiin has a large number of excellent ninjas.

Among them, there is no lack of ninjas who are proficient in herbs and puppets, such as Chiyo.

One of the goals of this caravan is the medicine provided by the puppeteer Chiyo, and the basic puppets that Sahiin promised to provide for learning exchange.

。

。

。

"Puppets?" Hoshi who was riding on the camel was a little curious, she turned her head and looked at the uncle who was hurrying on the road.

She has seen all kinds of ninjutsu in school, and heard from her teachers and classmates that there are many powerful ninjas.

But this is the first time Hoshi heard of a ninja who uses puppets.

"These ninjas use puppets to fight for them," Uncle looked at Hoshi with a kind smile on his face, "I heard that some excellent puppeteers can control many puppets at the same time to fight, which can increase a person's combat effectiveness by several times, and many puppets have many mechanisms, hidden weapons, and some are poisonous, so every puppeteer will create their own puppets, these puppets are difficult for others to use except for them.

Many puppeteers are very terrifying, and today we are going to the place to get the medicine, maybe we will meet Chiyo herself. "

Saiki who was riding on the camel with Hoshi heard this and thought, 'Puppets, are they like the armor in the anime?

No, it doesn't sound like it, but it sounds like long-range control. '

Saiki glanced at Hoshi who was looking around, thinking that maybe she is suitable for this kind of fighting style.

Fighting was unavoidable for her, but wouldn't it be safer for her to control from a distance?

。

。

。

Along the way, they encountered a sandstorm. The camel bells of the entire caravan were ringing madly, but the noise created by the sandstorm covered up these sounds.

For a moment, the entire caravan ninja raised their vigilance. They haven't reached the part where Shakage Village would send ninjas to escort them, and they know that this kind of border location isn't very safe. Various forces appear and disappear mysteriously. Otherwise, they wouldn't need Konoha's copy ninja Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi to escort them.

This mission was not only a business exchange, but also a symbol of cooperation between the Country of Wind and the Country of Fire. It was also a political activity.

Konoha, on behalf of the Fire Country, put down their prejudices and expressed goodwill to the Wind Country for temporary cooperation. All the ninjas were in disguise, but they were also worried that the news would leak out.

Previously, because of Shimura Danzo's worries, the two countries were prevented from deepening the cooperation, but recently, for some reason, Danzo became more relaxed.

But benefits and risks coexist, and this caravan mission is just a test of the waters.

。

。

。

But the caravan didn't worry for too long, because they saw Sahiin's people in the distance.

Hoshi felt that it was very strange. After seeing Sahiin's people, the wind and sand around them felt a lot smaller.

She asked the uncle next to her about her doubts. The uncle looked up and thought for a moment. "Probably something like ninjutsu?

To protect the caravan? "

When the uncle said this, Hoshi saw a blonde girl in front of them glancing at them.

"That girl is …"

The girl was probably only ten years old.

"Oh, that girl is from the Sand Village. She's the daughter of Sha Kage. She's very talented. It won't take long for her to become a ninja. She's here to welcome us as the daughter of Sha Kage …"

。

Saiki looked at the uncle who was chatting enthusiastically with Hoshi. This uncle should be a ninja.

There were more ninjas than merchants in this exchange.

For example, he and Hoshi were recommended by his previous publisher to participate as representatives. In fact, it was "White God" -sensei's special care.

Hopefully, there won't be any trouble this time.

。

。

。

。

Kakashi put down the book in his hand and yawned, looking tired.

"So, why did you bring a kid?" Kakashi looked at the pink-haired boy and the little girl in front of the caravan.

"I heard that the girl used to be Sahiin. Her mother is the daughter of a landlord here, and she and her brother are the representatives of a company." Itachi said coldly. He still felt that everything was a bit magical.

"I see." Kakashi rubbed his neck. "But, it's really troublesome to bring a kid like that."

。

。

。

'Ding.'

Hoshi heard the notification sound.

Hoshi looked at Chubby who poked his head out of his bag.

[Congratulations on completing the Novice Mission and unlocking a new mode!

Adventure Mode. The System has also prepared a "World Exploration Beginner Gift Pack" for you, hidden in "Saiki's house." This is your plot prompt in Sahiin.]

Hoshi felt like something was stuffed into her head, and it was a little bloated. She shook her head, and something seemed to flash in front of her eyes.

。

。

。

。

"Hoshi?"

A gentle and beautiful woman looked at the baby in her arms, and then looked at the man opposite her with a happy and sweet expression.

The scene changed, and a mother and daughter were happily playing in the house.

"Dad, Dad — Dad?"

The daughter looked up at her mother in confusion. The woman's expression changed slightly, and her eyes became a little sad. "It's okay."

Not long after, the man came back and picked up his daughter. "What did Hoshi do today?"

The house was suddenly filled with happy laughter.

Hoshi seemed to have many scattered scenes flashing in front of her eyes. There were joys and sorrows, laughter and tears.

The family was beautiful, but because the man was less and less at home, the smile on the woman's face gradually faded, and everything became a little different.

。

Men and women quarreled more and more, and the poor girl could only hide in a corner and cry secretly. She wanted to ask her father to stay, but she was thrown to the ground.

Her mother became more and more depressed, and because of a knot in her heart, she fell seriously ill, and in the end, she died so miserably.

After that, the girl left her original home and lived with her father.

Her father also fell ill, and in the end, he died …

。

。

。

When Hoshi came back to her senses, her face was already mottled, and her tears mixed with sand made her look particularly miserable.

At Chubby's reminder, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.

Saiki knew that Chubby had sent the so-called plot to her, but this was the first time Hoshi had cried in this world for half a year.

No matter how hard and tiring the training was, she didn't cry easily even when she was injured.

This time, she was really sad. She shrank back and hid in his arms, whispering, "Brother Kazuo, I miss home …"

Saiki sighed and patted her head. "Of course, we will definitely go home."

The uncle next to them heard their conversation and couldn't help but sigh. He had heard about their background, but how could others have the right to speak?

He wasn't them, so naturally, he couldn't understand their sadness. He couldn't even think of the appropriate words to comfort them.

。

。

。

Hoshi kept telling herself not to think about it, and that they would go home soon. Moreover, she was really busy with training recently, so busy that she couldn't stay awake once she got into bed.

Moreover, she had a lot of things to do. She had to practice taijutsu, practice Greenwood Secret Art, and make products to maintain the normal operation of the clothing store. Sometimes, she had to make an appointment with Naruto to practice ninjutsu together.

Sometimes, she even had to spar with little Li Senpai.

She was so busy that she forgot a lot of things.

She forgot that she was in a different world, forgot that her parents weren't around, forgot that Brother Kōsuke was harassing her, forgot that her classmates were smiling at her, forgot that she had a big warm and comfortable bed at home, forgot that there were so many delicious desserts …

After the novelty of this world passed, she found that she was strangely homesick.

She was already used to this world, but at the same time, she was panicking. She was afraid that she would unconsciously forget the past. She was worried that her parents, and that Brother Kōsuke couldn't find her and Brother Kazuo and would be sad.

She wanted to go home, but there was no way now.

Therefore, she could only focus on training. If she could become stronger, she would have the opportunity to complete more tasks and have the opportunity to save enough points to go home.

She always felt that she was a strong child who wouldn't cry, but now that she had left those things, away from Naruto, Sakura, and other friends, after watching those movie-like storylines — —

Hoshi knew that she was homesick.

She couldn't be strong now, so she could only cry uselessly.

But fortunately, the camel bell was so loud now, maybe others couldn't hear it, right?

。

。

。

Kakashi looked at the sky with a pair of dead fish eyes, scratched his head, and looked at the little kid in front of him who seemed to be crying, and sighed. "That's why I said that children are annoying — —"

Itachi was expressionless, thinking that this little girl was the one from last time, right?

。

。

。

Just when everyone didn't know, someone had already sent the news that they were on the road to Sahiin.
