Naruto wasn't a fool. He didn't directly say that he was tricked by him. Since it was an act, he had to act completely.
Naruto, who sighed, patted Tatsumi's shoulder and said earnestly.
"You just came here, so you don't know how dark this place is. Here, officials and bandits collude. They have already bribed some people in the empire, so they are so lawless to arrest people."
Tatsumi's eyebrows twisted together and said thoughtfully.
"It seems that the empire is not as simple as I thought."
After that, he turned his face and showed a friendly expression. He stretched out a hand and said, "My name is Tatsumi, what's your name? You look about the same age as me."
Naruto smiled faintly, gently shook Tatsumi's hand and said.
"My name is Naruto. I should be the same year as you. Now we should find a place to hide, otherwise, these guys will definitely come back to find us."
“
Tatsumi nodded in agreement.
The two sneaked out of here. With the help of Tatsumi, Naruto bought a set of clothes, replaced the conspicuous sixth generation cloak, and matched it with a big hat.
Now no one could recognize Naruto.
The two came to a hotel, sat down and looked at each other. Tatsumi asked first.
"Naruto, what kind of people did you meet? Did these guys not let you go just for 1,000 gold coins?"
Naruto, who took a sip of sweet wine, said with a serious face.
"Of course not, you have to understand that these guys are villains who kill without blinking. If I really give them 1,000 gold coins, they will definitely ask for 10,000 gold coins. They will not really let me go at all."
Although Tatsumi didn't know much about the world, he understood that Naruto's words were very reasonable. After thinking about it, Tatsumi realized that this was indeed the case. He trembled and murmured cautiously.
"It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. The hooligans in the imperial capital are so terrifying. I don't know how Shao and others are doing."
While he was focused on drinking the sweet wine, a soldier walked out of the main entrance.
Tatsumi panicked and almost spat out the wine in his mouth. He turned to look at Naruto in front of him and said with a serious face.
"Hey, it seems like those guys are here."
Naruto glanced at the person who came. It was obvious that he wasn't here to arrest him. Instead, he was just an ordinary soldier. Naruto waved his hand and said calmly.
"Don't worry, no one can recognize me now."
Tatsumi looked at Naruto. Without the gorgeous cloak, he really changed a lot. Tatsumi didn't care about anything else as he focused on drinking the sweet wine in front of him.
The purity of this wine was not high, and even children could drink it. It was comparable to the carbonated drinks in Naruto's previous world.
The soldier stepped forward and sat on a seat not far from Tatsumi. Tatsumi's body tensed up and subconsciously covered his face with a big cup.
At this time, the shop owner came over and asked the soldier a question, which made Tatsumi directly spit out the wine in his mouth.
"Brother Bing, what would you like to drink?"
Tatsumi was instantly angry. Even if he was stupid, he could understand that those guys he just met were not hooligans at all, but soldiers of the empire. He didn't expect that he was cheated by Naruto. Moreover, he was here to drink with this black-bellied guy. The money was all given by him.
Tatsumi, who wanted to flip the table, had an ugly expression. He stared at Naruto and shouted.
"The people who chased you are not robbers at all, but soldiers of the empire, right?"
Naruto held the cup in his hand and took a big sip. He looked at Tatsumi and said with a smile.
"You only understand now, but it's too late. Your portrait will be wanted tomorrow. At that time, you and I will be in the same situation."
Tatsumi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. On the first day he came here, he was cheated by this strange guy. Tomorrow, he would definitely be wanted in the city. At that time, not to mention making money for the village, even his life would be difficult to protect.
Resisting the urge to vomit blood, Tatsumi slapped the table and shouted.
"I don't think I have any grievances with you. Why do you want to harm me?"
Naruto's mouth curved and said with a smile.
"I just don't like you."
Tatsumi finally couldn't help it this time. He pulled out the sword from his waist and aimed at Naruto and slashed.
Naruto stood up, his body slowed down and easily split the sword. His action was extremely leisurely.
Tatsumi's long sword cut the table in half. Tatsumi, who was angry, shouted at Naruto.
"You shameless guy, I will never let you go."
Naruto was still smiling, looking at Tatsumi and said with a smile.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. You have to pay more attention to your own safety. In fact, we can help each other. Now we are in the same boat."
Tatsumi's whole body trembled with anger. He pointed his sword at Naruto and shouted.
"All of this is because of you, Naruto, you remember, you can't run away today."
He rushed up with a big sword in his hand, but Naruto dodged a few times and ran out of the door. If he didn't run now, it was obviously meaningless to kill the protagonist. He wanted to play with the protagonist.
Tatsumi followed closely with a long sword.
The hotel owner was dumbfounded. He noticed that the other side didn't even give him a table. He just wanted to go out, but the two people had disappeared.
The soldier was also inexplicable. He didn't understand why these two guys were fighting. In order not to let them hurt each other, the others were ready to follow, but when they went out of the door, they didn't find where they went.
He had to give up. At this time, his companion was rushing over, holding a portrait, panting and said.
"The murderer from last time has another companion. The boss asked us to take a good look at them. No matter if they are dead or alive, we have to kill them."
Opening the portrait, it was obviously Tatsumi's face. The painter's skill was very superb and very vivid.
The soldier took a look and immediately recognized it, shouting loudly.
"This, isn't this the person I just saw?"
His companion was stunned and immediately picked up the whistle at his waist and blew it, intending to gather his companions and start a fight here.
