After Naruto

"We are Konoha ninjas. We have no ill intentions. We just happened to pass by here." Hinata Yunzhi also shouted.

"Have all the Chinese lessons been in vain?" Looking at the behavior of these two guys, Ai shook his head. Obviously, Ai is not very satisfied with their performance.

"Sakumo, it seems they have forgotten how to get close to strangers to obtain information. Please show me how to do it," Ai said to Sakumo.

"Okay, teacher." Sakumo nodded and shouted to the surrounding residents: "Excuse me, is the person in charge of this village here? We are ninjas from the Konoha Ninja Village. Because we pass by here, we want to You guys need to replenish some supplies here. Don’t worry, if we had bad intentions, we would have done it before."

Then, after a period of silence, the door of a room opened. Then, a gray-haired old man walked out with a cane.

"Hello," the old man said nervously, "I am the mayor of this village. Do you need any help?"

"Hello, village chief?" Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, he lowered his head and bowed slightly to show courtesy. Generally speaking, polite actions can make people feel good and put down their guard. Of course, this action cannot be too artificial.

Afterwards, looking at the actions of Ai, the only adult, the village chief's expression softened somewhat. People who are polite are not too bad in character, this is what the village chief thinks.

"It's already very dark today, and my students and I don't want to continue on our way. Therefore, I would like to bother the village chief and ask if you can rest assured that our stay will not be in vain. We can provide compensation."

"Reward" The old man's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing the words of love. After that, he looked at the four of them.

A woman, a little girl, and two little boys. They don't look dangerous.

This year, because the number of ninjas is not large enough. Therefore, in the eyes of civilians, ninjas are powerful individuals who can use ninjutsu. Of course, if you ask them what Ninpo is, they won't be able to answer. They only know that the power of ninja is Ninpo.

Perhaps appearances can be deceiving, and the village chief accepted the offer of love. After that, the village chief led them back to his home without arranging them anywhere.

More than thirty years have passed since the Industrial Revolution of the Fire Nation was driven by Meiji, but look here. Obviously, perhaps because of its remote location, this village still retains a strong agricultural society style.

There will be gaps between people. Most of the time it is because of the lack of communication between people. As the sky gradually turned dark, the four of them chatted with the village chief and his family for a while, and they gradually became familiar with each other.

It is late July and the climate in this area is temperate. So, this is a place with four seasons. However, because this place is close to the mountains, the heat in summer is offset a lot.

Every night, the temperature here always cools down very quickly. Unlike Kyoto, the heat in summer only cools down after ten o'clock.

There is no nightlife in the countryside. As soon as it gets dark, the farmers go to bed. Because of the need to receive guests, the village chief’s home today lit candles to entertain the guests.

they.

"Village Chief, there must be someone else in your family." Looking at the large hunting bow hanging on the wall, even thinking about it, it was impossible for an old man to pull it. Judging from the traces of use of the big bow, this bow was used recently.

"Yes, I still have two sons." The village chief took out a wooden homemade pipe and smoked.

"The eldest son is married, but the second son is not yet. As for the grandsons, one is still nursing, and the other is about the same age as your students." Here, Ai clearly noticed that the village chief's mood changed when he mentioned his son. Some are bad. However, when I talked about my grandson, my mood improved again.

"Are your sons sleeping?" Ai asked tentatively.

"Alas." After sighing, the village elder shook his head and said, "Our place used to be a good place. But recently, a group of robbers came there without knowing it. They occupied the hilltop to the west and said They want us to pay tribute to them. What else can we say? If we don’t pay, they will kill us all.”

Having said this, the old man shook his head and said, "Now, the young people in the village are patrolling the west side of the village."

"The village chief wants to have a head-on confrontation," Ai asked.

"Of course, bandits like that are not big in scale. Therefore, we cannot spoil them. Otherwise, we will not have a good life here. Although we are just some mountain people, it is not like we have never fought against tigers, the generals in the mountains. "Here, the old man spoke very forcefully. Obviously, when he was young, he should have been quite a powerful character. However, getting old is getting old after all. Although the old man spoke forcefully, his face was full of worry.

"Is that so?" Ai smiled faintly. After that, she stood up and said to the three students beside her: "Shuomao, Yunzhi, Dai, the three of you will go to the west mountain to investigate tomorrow. Remember, don't attract their attention, sneak in the dark first Just listen to their conversation.”

"Teacher, why don't you just take action?" After hearing Ai's request, Sakumo asked doubtfully. In response, Ai did not continue speaking, but smiled and shook his head.

"Go to bed early." Under the dim candlelight, Love's profile looked a little blurry. After that, without any further delay, Ai turned around and walked towards the room arranged by the village chief.

Nothing in the night

The next day, with the dim light of the morning and the loud crow of the rooster, the village began to slowly come to life. As for Ai, she sat on the roof of the village chief's house and watched the sun rise slowly.

At this time, she was holding an octagonal chess-sized stone in her hand and muttering something to herself. If you get closer, you can probably hear some sealing or curse sealing techniques.

Compared with yesterday, after they stayed at the village chief's house for one night, the invisible barrier between them and the villagers was much less.

The village chief's family can be considered a big family. In addition to the village chief and his wife, there are four eldest sons and one younger son in the family, for a total of seven people.

After spending a day together, the village chief's family was no longer wary of loving them. Later, as the sky gradually became brighter, Ai also met the village chief's wife and his eldest daughter-in-law. Of course, the grandson he said was about the same age as Sakumo and the others was also there.
