Chapter 165 The Clown is Me (Subscription Request)
The bleak autumn wind blows across the golden fields.
The rustling sound like the surging waves is like a piece of music to calm the mind, clear and peaceful.
When it reaches people's ears, it unconsciously calms the restlessness in their hearts.
Unknowingly, it is autumn again.
The people in front of him who are sweating in the fields, Ryosuke can feel the happiness and joy from their faces from the bottom of their hearts. This is a very simple emotional release, not so complicated, so difficult to guess.
It has been a long time since I stopped practicing, and I look at the scenery leisurely like this.
The scene in front of me made Ryosuke forget that this is actually in a dangerous ninja world.
On the contrary, he has the illusion of returning to the world without magic where he used to live.
There are no figures that are completely out of common sense. Although this place is infinitely close to the central area of the country, there are almost no ninjas.
This situation is extremely rare in this world. Even in some small countries, there are more or less traces of ninjas in the central areas of the city.
And this is the neutral country-the Iron Country.
In this ninja world full of wars and disputes, the Iron Country, as a neutral force, has always been conducting diplomacy with various countries with a non-confrontational attitude. In every war, they will appear as a mediator and take in civilians who have lost their homes.
And compared with those small and medium-sized countries that are favorites of wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas, the Iron Country has a completely different status in this.
There are independent armed organizations centered on the profession of samurai, like ninja villages, to maintain domestic order. There are rarely wandering ninjas without backing forces coming to this country to make trouble.
And those ninjas with backing forces will not come to this neutral country.
Over time, the Iron Country has become a pure land and the final destination of many homeless people.
Of course, the people taken in by this country do not include ninjas.
Only in this way can they guarantee their "neutrality" to the greatest extent without arousing the vigilance and attention of other countries.
Soon leaving the field, what came into Ryosuke's eyes was a majestic city gate.
Wearing simple standard armor, holding a sharp blade in his hand.
Two old-fashioned and serious warriors stood guard at the gate of the city.
However, this gate only led to the outer city, so there was no strict inspection.
He made some disguises on the outside, and Ryosuke did not wear a ninja forehead protector, pretending to be an ordinary merchant from the Fire Country. When he entered the city, he paid a little entrance fee and came to the city smoothly along with the flow of people.
But perhaps... it was also because of the alliance in recent years that he lowered his guard against people who belonged to the same alliance country.
In the city, vendors pushing carts and hawking on both sides of the street.
In the outer city with a large flow of people, there are taverns, restaurants, teahouses, grocery stores... everything that should be there.
And the buildings here are generally much taller than those in the Fire Country, and generally have two or three floors.
Compared with the Kyoto City of the Fire Country, this place is like entering the ancient scene of Ryosuke's previous life. He has also seen the scene in front of him in those Hengdian filming studios.
"Yanyu Street..."
Standing in front of some street signs, Ryosuke is looking for his target.
He did not directly expand his perception to explore the city.
Although with Ryosuke's current delicate perception ability, he can easily avoid the detection of most people in the ninja world.
But if there is a sign similar to a map, there is no need to do this, because it not only appears arrogant, but also... a little rude.
"West of the city..."
Soon, Ryosuke found the direction of Yanyu Street on the sign, and by the way, he also wrote down the location of most streets in the outer city.
Now... of course he has to look for the three guests from another world.
It has been more than a week since he got the news.
Although it only took Ryosuke one day to discuss this matter with his family and instruct some other matters, it still took a long time to rush from the Fire Country to the Iron Country, and then from the outer edge of the Iron Country to the center of the country.
Now it took more than a week to get here, and he was still traveling at full speed. If it were someone else, it might be even slower.
After arriving in the city, Ryosuke did not rush to go, but walked slowly along the flow of people, heading towards the west of the city.
As he got closer, he could clearly smell a very faint fragrance in the air.
And this smell of rouge, feminine and floral scent became stronger and stronger, making Ryosuke hold his breath unconsciously. It was a little pungent.
But soon, he got used to the smell.
And in front of him, there was a very lively and flowery long street.
Although the name of Misty Rain Street is very elegant, it is actually not a place where noble people would stay. Most of the people who come here... should be wealthy bosses, or literati.
It has extremely free and open rules, which is different from those romantic places outside.
Even in the daytime, there are still many beautiful women with surging waves or handsome and charming men soliciting customers.
On the street, there were also many drunken customers who were pushed into one luxury place after another to consume with whimpering sounds, whether they were male customers or... female customers.
But generally speaking, the people here were quite disciplined. At least Ryosuke didn't see any quarrels of forced buying and selling along the way.
Although this street looked very messy, the rules were very strict and everyone strictly abided by them.
Perhaps even if an ordinary person walked in, he would not be stripped of his skin and leave his life here.
Politely declining the solicitation of women and men, Ryosuke looked for the location of the store with a calm face.
However, his saintly performance attracted the attention of many people. At least according to his observation, many people from this street were secretly watching his performance.
But he didn't care too much, after all, Ryosuke's target was not them.
Finally, his footsteps stopped in front of an ordinary store that seemed a bit out of place in this fireworks place.
This shop has two floors. The first floor looks like an office, while the second floor is the owner's private space for living and resting.
And on the door of the first floor, there are three big characters written - "Wanshiwu".
An impatient smile finally appeared on his calm face. Ryosuke took a step forward and was about to reach out and knock on the door.
But suddenly, with a "bang" sound, a delicate object broke out of the door, as fast as a shuriken.
Grabbing the flying object steadily, Ryosuke looked at the small hole in the wooden door in confusion.
Then, a huge white figure also broke out of the door and rushed towards him.
"Shinpachi-kun!"
A crisp female voice came from the big hole in the wooden door.
And then, there was a helpless voice of complaint.
"Hey, hey, hey, we've already traveled through time and space, how long are you going to keep playing this joke! And... a pair of glasses is expensive, okay?! Sadaharu, stop using my glasses as toys, I've already bought you a toy bone!"
Kacha——
The voices were getting closer and closer, followed by the sound of the doorknob turning from the broken wooden door, finally a normal way to get in and out.
But this seemed abnormal for the already shaky wooden door.
"Sadaharu just wanted to play with Shinpachi-kun..."
"Obviously I'm Shinpachi-kun! The joke that the glasses are the real body is outdated, okay!"
A plain-looking young man walked out of the door, whose face was completely unrememberable.
He seemed very irritable.
And behind him, there was a cute red-haired girl with a bun on her head with both hands on the back of her head, looking nonchalant.
But soon, when they saw the scene in front of the door clearly, their expressions froze.
Standing opposite them, Ryosuke held a large white dog by the back of its neck with one hand and a pair of finely crafted glasses with the other, and greeted them gently, "Excuse me... Is this a Yorozuya that can accept any commission?"
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Ryosuke! Sorry for causing you trouble!"
The sofa and wooden table looked worn out, as if they were bought from a second-hand market. The house looked large on the outside, but the interior was extremely simple.
Sitting on the sofa, there was a table between Ryosuke and Shimura Shinpachi.
After sitting down, Shimura Shinpachi apologized without hesitation and even offered a cup of tea.
"Don't worry, it didn't cause me any trouble."
As a guest, Ryosuke replied with a smile, his eyes fixed on the two people in front of him.
Or... Kagura.
The two people in front of him were the second target of Ryosuke's trip this time, Shimura Shinpachi, a samurai, and Kagura, the night rabbit girl.
Of the two, he cared more about Kagura.
The reason is nothing else, just because her fighting power is much stronger than Shimura Shinpachi, whether it is observed after seeing her in person or what he knows in the plot, she is stronger.
"So what does Mr. Ryosuke want to entrust you with?"
Without too much politeness, Shimura Shinpachi sat down again after getting Ryosuke's forgiveness, and quickly got straight to the point.
"Although we are called the Yorozuya, we don't actually accept all commissions now."
He explained apologetically, "This name just has some special meanings, but in fact we don't have the ability to accept all commissions now, so we need to ask clearly first."
"Don't rush for now."
Ryosuke shifted his gaze from Kagura who was playing with the dog and returned to Shimura Shinpachi, "You two should not be the main person in charge, right? Let's wait until Gintoki comes back and talk about the commission."
"Gin?"
This answer made Shimura Shinpachi stunned for a moment, and then asked with some doubts: "Mr. Ryosuke, do you... know Gin?"
"Not yet, but I think I will know him soon."
Ryosuke replied calmly.
As he finished speaking, a hoarse voice sounded from outside the house.
"You...what did you do again!"
The footsteps were hurried, with a hint of anger.
A middle-aged man with silver hair in a blue and white robe walked quickly from outside the house, "When a father who works hard outside comes home, even if he sees his children opening the door in advance or even tearing it down, he won't be moved at all!"
"I haven't had money for sweets for almost a month. Can't you save some for me?"
But soon, after he opened the door of the living room and saw Ryosuke sitting inside, the angry expression on his face suddenly became very subtle...
In Ryosuke's helpless eyes, this handsome and decadent uncle seemed to have mastered the face-changing of Peking Opera, and adjusted his angry facial features in a very fast way.
"So... So there are guests..."
The voice suddenly became several degrees gentler, and Sakata Gintoki's back straightened up a lot, and walked into the living room with great momentum, "Shinpachi-kun, how can you entertain guests with such tea? Hurry up and take out the fine tea that I have collected for decades."
As he said, he sat down opposite Ryosuke with a big horse and a golden sword, and put a wooden sword on the table, with a stern face and a very capable look.
"Yes!"
Instantly into the state, Shimura Shinpachi stood up and walked to the side.
"No, after hiding for decades, the best tea leaves may be wasted."
But at this time, Ryosuke stopped him and looked at the silver-haired man in front of him with a subtle expression, "You guys... don't you charge a consultation fee here? Including the tea fee?"
For some reason, looking at their poor acting skills, he suddenly had such an idea in his mind, which is the usual routine of black shops.
But obviously, under his observation, whether it is Gintoki in front of him, Shinpachi Shimura who stood up, or even Kagura who was playing with dogs not far away and didn't seem to be involved, they all froze.
There is no doubt that he guessed right.
"Didn't expect you to live so poorly? It shouldn't be..."
Without giving them a chance to explain, Ryosuke looked at them helplessly, "Gintoki, you should have watched "Naruto", right? Don't you know what to do after coming here?"
As he said, his eyes were faintly fluorescent.
The unique white eyes quietly opened, and he had completely locked on the few people present, carefully observing every trace of their expressions.
And opposite him, Gintoki seemed a little confused.
But he was a little confused about Ryosuke's address, "Um... did we know each other before? And... sorry, we are not ninjas, can you explain the problem in a more popular way?"
Whether it was Gintoki, Shimura Shinpachi, or Kagura, the expressions of the three of them were very confused, as if... they didn't understand anything.
"Nothing... Let's talk about the commission. There is something I need to remind you. If you can take the commission I said and complete it, I can guarantee that the commission fee will be enough for you to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime."
Ryosuke shook his head and avoided answering this question.
Just now, he carefully observed their expressions, recorded them in his mind for analysis, and he quickly came up with an answer.
Maybe...
In the real world of Gintoki and his friends, there is indeed no manga Naruto, and only in this way can it be explained why he did not choose to move towards the direction of the Land of Fire after coming to this world.
The three people in front of him are from another world, just like Bruno, whom Ryosuke had seen before.
Bruno is from a manga called "One Piece", while they are from a manga called "Gintama".
Unlike the world of One Piece, the world of Gintama is not a pure hot-blooded fighting show, but a depressing show with a funny appearance. Many socially sensitive issues are involved in this comic, and they are extremely real.
And one of the important points is that in their world there is a weekly youth comic called JUMP.
This means that the three people in front of them may know the plots of the worlds of Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Yu-Gi-Oh.
But at present, it seems that they have no memory of this aspect. Perhaps there is no setting like in the comics in their real world.
But it doesn't matter if there is none...
Ryosuke's heart was slightly fluctuating. After all, if they had watched Naruto, they would know that there was no character like him in the original plot of this world.
Wait!
But at this time, Ryosuke suddenly had a very strange idea in his heart.
That is, the Land of Fire may not be as he thought before, and there are no invaders...
