Ninja World: Pass Fire from Konoha

Chapter 64: Overnight and Conflict

The old voice coming from behind the wooden door of the village was full of vigilance. Just by hearing the voice, Hinata Yunlong could picture an old man squeezing the cane in his hand and being extremely nervous.

He chuckled, trying to sound as gentle as possible:

"Old man, my friend and I are travelers from the Moon Country. Because we yearn for the Bushido culture of the Iron Country, we traveled a hundred miles to visit the Iron Country to pay our respects. When we passed by, it was getting late. , I want to rest for a night in your village, don’t worry, we will pay the overnight fee, just find us a place that can protect you from the wind and snow, and we will never cause you any trouble."

Hinata Untaki's words caused a brief silence behind the door.

After a short, rapid and subtle quarrel, the old voice reappeared. At the same time, the closed village door slowly opened: "Since you are a traveler, let's come in."

This small village is not large, but the entrance door is very heavy. Just the sour turning sound when it is opened makes people think that this thing is too heavy.

Of course, being heavy also means that the door's protection is very solid, and ordinary means cannot open the door. However, it is still very useful to guard against ordinary bandits.

The door opened, and the figures inside were also exposed to the sights of Hinata Yutaki and Hinata Ri.

In addition to an old man wearing a thick animal hair coat and a gray scarf, there are four thickly dressed strong men standing on both sides of the old man, holding hoes and other farm tools.

When they saw the two people at the gate, especially with masks on their faces, the four strong men looked a little more wary.

But the old man who looked very old had a gentle smile on his face: "Visitors from afar, welcome to Ono Village."

"It's snowing heavily. You two, please follow me into the house first. There will be hot wine and delicious food inside."

After speaking, the old man motioned with his eyes to the four strong men beside him, asking them to close the opened village gate again, and then walked towards the village.

A few minutes later, the group of people took their seats in an old wooden house.

The wooden house was not big, with a burning bonfire in the center and an iron pot on top.

At this moment, the soup was simmering gurglingly in the pot. The pieces of carrots and even pieces of meat were tumbling inside, and the rich aroma made it difficult for people to take their eyes away.

Two bowls of soup were handed to Hinata Kumo and Hinata respectively. The old man took the first sip of the thick soup. The hot soup flowed down his throat and reached his stomach, causing a blush to rise on his face.

Not only the old man, but also the four middle-aged men who had just followed him out also hurriedly drank the thick soup to soothe their cold bodies.

Seeing that the old man and the four middle-aged men all drank the soup, Hinata Untaki and Hinata looked at each other vaguely, then picked up the soup and started drinking.

"Two guests, I am the mayor of Ono Village, Ishizaka Jiro."

"I will arrange for you two to stay in the village tonight, but for the sake of both you and me, and to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I ask you to leave in time tomorrow morning."

"As for the overnight fee, there is no need for it."

The old man put down the bowl in his hand and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Hinata Yuntaki nodded gratefully: "Yes, I'm very grateful that you can let us stay here for one night. We will leave immediately tomorrow morning. This is the overnight fee, so please accept it. Otherwise we will feel bad."

While talking, Hinata Yutaki took out the money note from his arms and placed it on a wooden table next to him.

The mayor of Ono Village wanted to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the value on the money ticket. His tone suddenly changed, and the smile on his face was a little warmer: "In that case, I will accept it shamelessly. Dawu, take the lead. Take the two distinguished guests to the house to rest."

The "Da Wu" whose name was called was the burliest among the four strong men. He nodded and stood up: "Please follow me."

Seeing this, Hinata Untaki and Hinata Ri stood up and followed.

The door opened and closed again, making the warm room feel a little chilly.

After they left, one of the middle-aged men finally couldn't help but asked: "Village Chief, why did you agree to let those two foreigners in, just in case..."

Before he could finish speaking, the head of Onomura waved his hand and interrupted him:

"They're not ordinary people."

"Let's just think of them as people from the Moon Country. It's a long way to get here from the Moon Country, and there are countless wild beasts and bandits along the way. There are only two of them, and they don't carry swords. Do you think they can be ordinary people? ?"

"If we don't agree and they charge in, do you think the few pieces of rotten wood at the gate of our village can stop them?"

"Instead of falling out in the end, it is better for us to take the initiative to receive them."

"From the sound of the voice, the person speaking should be young. He doesn't look like a robber or something like that. Just treat them well and then ask them to leave of their own accord."

"Ugh……"

At the end, the village chief sighed.

After all, it's not because the village is too weak, otherwise, who would take in the unexpected strangers to stay overnight?

With these words, the middle-aged men present fell into silence.

At the same time, Hinata Untaki and Hinata Ri, who were following Otake towards the residence, twitched their ears.

As a special jounin, Hinata's hearing is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Even with the cover of wind and snow, he could clearly hear the sounds in the house.

Not to mention Hinata Untaki, his physical fitness is much better than Hinata Ri.

At the same time, the two also heard the deeper meaning of the village chief's words.

Knowing that they were not ordinary people, he said this to the villagers without concealing it when they had not gone far, obviously deliberately wanting them to hear it.

Neither of them cared about this.

They were just staying overnight.

After being taken to a wooden house that was a bit old but could shelter from the wind and snow, Dawu, who led the way, left.

Hinata Untaki and Hyuga Ri looked at each other. They had already observed with their white eyes that there was no one with chakra in Ono Village, and there were almost no factors that could cause danger to them. However, for safety reasons, the two It was decided that one person would keep vigil and the other would sleep, alternating between rest periods.

Just like that, the night passed by in a hurry.

……

Hinata Yutaki was awakened by a violent roar.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Hinata with serious eyes.

"Someone is attacking the village."

Hinata said, with a hint of doubt in her voice.

The Kingdom of Iron is a country of samurai, but the sound just now was obviously not like the sound caused by a sword with chakra attached, but more like the sound caused by fire escape, detonating charms or civilian explosives.

Hinata Yutaki quickly stood up, the two left the wooden house and jumped onto the roof.

From a distance, they saw fire and black smoke billowing from the direction of the village gate.

Byakugan opened, and within his field of vision, dozens of chakra figures appeared in the direction of the village gate.

This made the two people's expressions gradually become serious under their masks.
