Chapter 139 Kirabi
After entering the Hidden Cloud Village, Naruto felt the unique charm of this village more intuitively. The buildings on both sides of the road are scattered, some are built with solid rocks, showing the tenacity and strength of the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas; some are decorated with exquisite patterns, revealing a hint of artistic atmosphere.
The villagers coming and going in the Hidden Cloud Village have different expressions. Some are in a hurry, as if they are busy with their own affairs; others are smiling and chatting happily with the people around them. Their clothes are mostly dark, simple and practical. Some villagers also wear the symbol of the Hidden Cloud Village on their shoulders or waists, revealing their pride and sense of belonging to their village.
Children were playing and laughing on the street, their laughter echoing in the air like the sound of bells. Occasionally, a few naughty children would look at Naruto curiously, with curiosity flashing in their eyes. The older villagers would cast a wary look, after all, Naruto looked a little weird wearing an ice sculpture mask.
Not long after walking, Naruto was attracted by a strange aroma. The smell seemed to have a magical power, penetrating into his nose and instantly awakening his taste buds. Naruto followed the scent and came to the door of a barbecue restaurant. The rich aroma came from this store, constantly stimulating his olfactory nerves.
Suddenly, Naruto thought, isn't beef the specialty of Kumogakure? Thinking of this, his stomach growled. After days of long journeys, he was indeed a little hungry. Then, Naruto no longer hesitated and strode into the store.
The decoration inside the store is full of the characteristics of the Hidden Cloud Village. Various barbecue tools and pictures of the Hidden Cloud Village are hung on the walls. Several wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and many customers are already enjoying the delicious barbecue. The sizzling sound of the barbecue and the laughter of the people are intertwined, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.
Naruto found an empty seat and sat down. The enthusiastic owner immediately came to greet him. The owner was a burly middle-aged man with a simple smile on his face. He introduced the specialty barbecue in the store to Naruto, and his words were full of pride. Naruto ordered a few signature barbecues and then quietly waited for the food to arrive.
Soon, plates of fragrant barbecue were served on the table. The tender and juicy beef exuded an attractive color under the charcoal fire, making people salivate. Naruto couldn't wait to pick up a skewer of barbecue and put it in his mouth. The wonderful taste and rich flavor instantly spread in his mouth, making him intoxicated.
While enjoying the food, Naruto was also observing the customers in the store. He found that the people in the Hidden Cloud Village were very generous and enthusiastic. Everyone was eating barbecue and chatting happily. This relaxed and happy atmosphere made Naruto gradually relax. He began to think about how to communicate with the ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village to achieve his goal of collecting the tailed beasts.
As Naruto was eating with gusto, the conversation of several villagers from the Hidden Cloud Village at the next table caught his attention.
"Have you heard? Mr. Bee is going to hold another concert in two days." A villager said excitedly.
"Really? That's great. It's always more exciting than the adults' concerts." Another villager looked expectant.
Naruto's heart was moved. Master Bee? Could it be Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? He was full of curiosity about this rumor.
Naruto continued to eat the barbecue while secretly thinking about how to find Killer Bee. But his mind was not on the food at all.
He decided to inquire about the details of Kirabi's concert after finishing the meal. Naruto thought that the concert would definitely attract many villagers from the Hidden Cloud Village, and it would be a great opportunity to get in touch with Kirabi. He imagined the scene of the concert, the lively crowd, the exciting music, and Kirabi might release his passion and strength on the stage.
Naruto quickly finished the last few bites of barbecue, paid the bill and left the barbecue restaurant. He began to ask the villagers passing by on the street about the specific time and location of Kirabi's concert. Some villagers looked at him curiously as a strange outsider, but still enthusiastically provided him with information.
After collecting the information, Naruto smiled. Three days later, in Kumogakure Square, Killer Bee will hold a concert there.
Naruto returned to his temporary residence and began to sort out his thoughts. He felt relieved that he had collected information about Killer Bee, but he also knew that the mission was far from complete. The only one left was the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yukito.
Naruto knew that it would not be easy to find Yukito. There was very little information about her, except that she was also in the Hidden Cloud Village and her strength should not be underestimated. Naruto kept thinking about various possible clues and methods in his mind. Although Naruto's perception could sense the entire village, he currently did not have the breath of the Two-Tails. Even if his perception was fully open, he would definitely not be able to find the trace of the Two-Tails.
Three days later, Kirabi's concert was held as scheduled, and Naruto came to the crowded square. The square was very lively, with people's cheers, singing and music intertwined, forming a sea of joy.
Naruto felt the atmosphere and couldn't help but think of the scene when he held a concert in Konoha. At that time, he was full of enthusiasm and courage, standing on the stage, using his singing to convey his friendship with his partners and his vision for the future.
At Konoha's concert, his friends surrounded him in the audience, cheering for him with encouraging smiles on their faces. That warm scene is still deeply imprinted in his mind. Naruto recalled himself at that time, although a little immature and nervous, but full of energy and passion.
Now, standing in the square of the Hidden Cloud Village, watching Killer Bee showing off his passion on the stage, Naruto was filled with emotion. He understood that whether in Konoha or in the Hidden Cloud Village, people's pursuit of music and joy was the same.
Then, Naruto looked at Killer Bee with more interest.
As the long hours passed slowly, the soul-stirring concert finally came to an end amidst the noise and passion. The audience gradually dispersed with joy and reluctance, but Naruto stood quietly at the edge of the crowd, his eyes fixed on the departing Kirabi. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile full of expectation, and then he quietly followed Kirabi from a distance.
As they walked forward, they arrived at a quiet valley. Killer Bee suddenly stopped, standing like a steady mountain. He lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "There's no one here anymore. Why don't you come out?" His words echoed in the valley. Naruto was slightly startled, not expecting that he would be discovered by Killer Bee so quickly. But he did not hesitate at all, and slowly walked out of his hiding place, looking straight at Killer Bee.
