Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Bumping Into Someone
Chapter 29: Bumping Into Someone
It was no use. Because no matter how surprised he was, the result was still right there in front of him. So what was the use of being surprised? None at all.
The uncle who owned the ninja tool shop saw me pick up the two boxes of tools and get ready to leave. He could only call out to me, "Little customer, if you need more ninja tools, come back to my place! I can give you a discount. It's very cheap, really."
Hearing the shop owner say such words to him, Orion felt it wouldn't be right to leave directly. But he also didn't have the spare time to chat with the shop owner. I still have to go train, you know? So, he could only turn his head, look at the shop owner, and give him a friendly smile as a gesture of goodwill.
After doing this, Orion directly carried the two boxes of ninja tools with both hands and left the shop.
He was once again back on the main street of the Konoha ninja village. Orion used the two boxes to hide his face as much as possible, because he was afraid of being recognized by the other villagers. If he were recognized, it would inevitably lead to some trouble. So, while using the two boxes to hide his face, Orion tried his best to increase his walking speed.
Although these two boxes weren't too heavy for Orion, he couldn't say they were light either. But if he had to carry these boxes somewhere else, he could still do it.
However, because Orion had these two boxes of ninja tools in his hands, he couldn't walk very fast even if he wanted to. He could only be a little faster than a normal moving speed. If he wanted to be any faster, it was really impossible.
Because Orion was holding two boxes of ninja tools, and these two boxes were blocking his line of sight, he could only look downwards. He could barely avoid other people and not bump into them.
The people on the street saw the two large boxes in my hands and all moved to avoid me, not blocking Orion's path, for fear that he would bump into them. But this was also good; at least it would prevent me from bumping into others, which could be considered a good thing.
Orion carried the two boxes with both hands and moved at the fastest speed he could. Although compared to Orion's true top speed, this speed was very, very slow, for ordinary people, it was not considered slow at all. It was already a very fast speed.
At the very least, Orion's body was at the Genin level. He was only holding two boxes of ninja tools. If his speed was even slower than those ordinary people, that would be ridiculous. If that were really the case, then ninjas wouldn't be called ninjas anymore; a few ordinary people could defeat them.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of Orion. That person was walking very hastily, as if they were in a hurry to get somewhere. They were walking quickly with their head down, their eyes not looking forward.
At this moment, he didn't see Orion. And Orion, because he was holding the two boxes of ninja tools, couldn't see ahead, so he didn't see him either.
In this way, with both parties not paying attention to what was in front of them, the result was predictable. That result was that the two people would bump into each other.
Soon, the result for the two of us was that we crashed into each other.
"Boom."
A relatively loud sound was emitted. This sound came from the two boxes in my hands falling to the ground. And the emission of this sound also attracted the attention of a group of people.
Many pedestrians turned their heads to look at Orion. At this moment, he had been knocked down by that person who was walking in a hurry and had fallen to the ground.
"Ah!" Orion called out softly. Because he was knocked over and fell to the ground, he had an intimate contact with Mother Earth. To be honest, a fall like that was really painful.
But the pain for Orion was only for a moment. In the next moment, Orion saw a child in front of me. Although he was a child, he looked a little older than Orion. His appearance was nothing special.
No, wait, his eyes were a little special. Those eyes were white. Orion could say with certainty that those eyes were the Hyuga clan's Byakugan. Because in the Konoha ninja village, or even the entire ninja world, only the Hyuga clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Byakugan, had eyes that looked white. There should be no other reason that would cause eyes to be white.
At this moment, he had also fallen to the ground and was yelping a few times to show his pain. Orion got up, looked at the person I had bumped into, and said, "Hey, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't see anyone in front of me just now. I didn't see you there."
This matter was indeed Orion's fault. But Orion also felt very helpless, because he was holding two boxes of ninja tools, so he couldn't see if there was anyone in front of him or not.
But helplessness was helplessness. Orion still quickly got up and apologized to the person I had bumped into. After all, this was the most basic quality of being a person. Although Orion wasn't the type to sacrifice himself for a stranger, apologizing for a mistake he made wasn't difficult for me.
To the person who had also fallen, Orion apologized and at the same time reached out his hand, wanting to pull the person I had knocked down up. But it was clear that he did not accept it. He slapped away the hand Orion had extended to help him up, let out a cold snort, and stood up on his own.
During this time, he didn't even spare me a glance. His face was full of anger. But Orion didn't understand. It was just a bump and a fall; why show such an angry expression? He didn't know why.
But angry was angry. After all, it was Orion who had knocked him down. This could also be considered his own responsibility.
After that person slapped Orion's hand away, he quickly stood up on his own. After he stood up, I could see that he was about a head taller than me, a very obvious height difference. I looked at his face and estimated that he was probably a few years older than me.
After the Hyuga clan member stood up, he widened his eyes and stared fiercely at Orion. He said to him, "Damn it, are you a bastard? Are you blind? Why don't you look where you're going? Didn't your parents teach you to look ahead when you walk?"
"Or are your eyes useless? If they're useless, I, Hyuga Hefeng, can gouge them out for you for free, make you a blind man, so you won't have to look at the road anymore."
Just like that, Orion was inexplicably scolded. After being scolded, he stood there in a daze for a moment. Soon, Orion came to his senses and said to the Hyuga clan member, "Are you the only one who fell? Who told you not to look where you're going either? If you had avoided me, would you have been hit? What kind of manners does this person have? And he says I wasn't taught by my parents. I think it's you who wasn't taught by your parents!"
Faced with this kind of person, Orion was no longer polite and directly cursed back at him. Originally, he had wanted to just apologize and be on his way. But this Hyuga Hefeng was just too arrogant, so arrogant that even Orion couldn't stand it a little.
"What? You say I have no manners? You're looking to die."
After hearing what Orion said, the face of the Hyuga clan member who had been bumped into, Hyuga Hefeng, quickly turned ugly. After all, no one would look happy after being cursed at. But for someone like him, being cursed at was what he deserved. Because respect is a two-way street. If you want to be respected by others, you must first learn to respect others.
