Hashirama Reborn

After three hours of trekking, the team led by Senju Fujian arrived at their destination - Shirakawa Village.

Looking at the prosperous village in front of him, Senju Butsuma finally understood why the Takata family would specifically hire ninjas to conquer this territory.

The Shirakawa Village in front of us is located on a plain, surrounded by woods on three sides, with mountains and water nearby, abundant resources, and it is also the only way to reach the daimyo's castle. Passing merchants brought a lot of money and materials to Shirakawa Village, making this village richer than an ordinary small town.

Excuse me, are you the Senju ninjas?

A middle-aged man observed the bandages on the heads of Senju Fujian and others warily from a distance for a while. The conspicuous symbol of the Senju clan - a pointed fork - finally made him let down his guard and rushed up happily.

Senju Butsukan looked at the man in front of him, and the information "ordinary man, no force, good clothes, etc." flashed quickly in his mind. Then he said calmly: Yes, we are the Senju clan, hired by Lord Sato. We will protect Shirakawa Village in the next month. Are you the village chief?

Ah, yes, yes, I am the village chief here, Noda Hao, you can just call me Noda, "Village Chief Noda responded repeatedly while bowing and waving his hands to lead the way, please come into the village first, ninja adults. According to Lord Sato's intention, the village has prepared a total of 10 houses on the outskirts for you, you can use them as you please, but the village will still need to receive merchants in the future, Lord Sato's intention is not to affect the normal operation of the village, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future.

Hearing this, Hashirama in the team couldn't help but raise his head and frowned fiercely, "So the future has really changed? Even this mission is different. The one who received us in the previous life was not this Noda village chief. Moreover, knowing that the ninjas hired by the Takada family were about to attack, they still let the merchants in. What if a ninja sneaks into the village and takes the opportunity to cooperate with the outside?"

Senju Fujian lowered his eyes and looked at the village chief Noda who was smiling flatteringly in front of him, and said meaningfully: Ah, the mission of our tribe is indeed to protect the village from being breached within one month and to ensure the normal operation of the village.

However, if the village chief wants to receive merchants as usual during this period, enemies hired by the Takata family may take the opportunity to sneak in in disguise. Even the Senju clan may not be able to guarantee the safety of "all" the villagers in the face of the enemy's internal and external offensive.

Listening to the words of Senju Fojian, the smiling face of Noda Village Chief suddenly froze, his eyes dodged, and he stammered: "Ah, ah, is that so? Then we still have to put everyone's life safety first. I will negotiate with the merchants. This is your residence. I still have some village affairs to deal with, so I will leave first. Please feel free to come, everyone. The village will know my residence as soon as you ask. If there is anything, you can send someone to tell me."

Seeing the village chief Noda running away as if he was being chased by a ferocious beast, Senju Akira in the team couldn't help but sneer, "Hey, do you think Senju is an idiot who can be manipulated by anyone? He actually dared to set a trap for us. It seems that our life in this village will not be easy this month."

Okay, Amin, follow the tribe's arrangement. Team one will go explore the surrounding environment first, team two will check the water source, team three will patrol the village, and the rest of the people will be on guard all around. Everyone, don't be careless. If there is any problem, notify Duolun in time. Is that clear? Now, disperse!

Yes!

Seeing that all the tribesmen had left as ordered, and only two children looking around in confusion were left, Qianshou Buddha said lightly: You two and A Ming go and move the equipment into the house. If you have any questions, ask your Uncle Ming.

Okay, dad, yes, dad.

Oh, there's no need to be so serious, Banjian. Just relax like your big brother. Seeing Banjian's nervous and formal answers, Qianshou Ming couldn't help but comfort him with a joke: The tasks are actually mostly similar. If you keep your nerves so tense, it's not good. Judging from your expression, do you have anything you want to ask me? Sure, just ask anything.

Really? Senju Itama's brows relaxed subconsciously, and he said happily: Uncle Ming, I want to know what happened between my father and the village chief just now? Everyone was very happy at the beginning, but in the end, the village chief seemed to leave very unhappy?

Oh, you're talking about him? He's just a selfish villain. Qianshou Ming rolled his eyes fiercely and sneered disdainfully.

Banjian looked at his cousin with some confusion: But I felt that the village chief was quite warm and friendly to us?

Hehe, looking at the silly child in front of him, Qianshou Ming said with some malicious intention: Xiao Banjian~ If you want to trick others into working for you, you should be nicer at the beginning.

Senju Itama's eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth opened in shock. Tricking us? Uncle Ming, what does this mean?

Hum, Xiaobanma, do you remember what he said? At the beginning, he reminded us that the Sato family asked us to ensure the normal operation of the village, and at the same time said that he would normally receive passing merchants during the mission, so we should take care of it.

Yes, I heard from my father that our mission this time is to protect Shirakawa Village and keep it running normally. There seems to be nothing wrong with what the village chief said?

Hey, you silly boy! Why can't you think straight? Hashirama, you analyze it for me.

Senju Hashirama looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but twitching his lips. He remembered that when he went on this mission in his previous life, he just stayed in the village for a month, but he didn't have such a considerate treatment of being accompanied and answered questions. Now he was benefiting from his younger brother Itama?

After thinking carefully about the conversation just now, I said: Uncle Ming, I feel that this village chief does not pay enough attention to the safety of the villagers. If merchants are allowed in during the mission, the ninjas hired by the Takata family may take advantage of the situation and sneak in, and then the people in the village will be easily harmed.

With a snap, Senju Ming helplessly covered his face with his hands. Alas! You two, I really don't know what to say to you. Tobirama is so smart, it must be because of genetic mutation!

Hey, seeing the helpless expression of their uncle Ming, the two brothers looked at each other and lowered their heads guiltily, thinking at the same time, "It's over, am I wrong? Why is that?"

Listen up, both of you, Senju Ming raised his head seriously: As ninjas, completing the mission is our mission, but the text traps in the mission must be read carefully and avoided.

Our mission is to protect the safety of Shirakawa Village and ensure the normal operation of the village within one month. However, the scope of this normal operation is too wide. If most of the villagers survive, it is considered normal operation. If the merchants are received normally, it is also considered normal operation. It mainly depends on who benefits from it.

If we just want to protect the safety of the villagers, then we only need to concentrate on fighting foreign enemies and defending the village within a month. However, if we follow the village chief's opinion and let them receive merchants normally during the mission, then we need to do the above two points while paying extra attention to checking all merchants entering the village to prevent disguised ninjas from sneaking in to cause damage or casualties to the village, which greatly increases our casualty rate.

The reason why the village chief said that was because if the merchants could be received normally within this month, the money earned could be earned by him and the village.

As for us, the reward for protecting the village and villagers is the same as the reward for additional inspection of merchants. The village chief wants us to sacrifice our time and lives in vain to protect his interests. Moreover, once it is tacitly agreed that receiving merchants is also part of the normal operation of the village, if ninjas really sneak into the village and affect the village later because of this incident, the village chief can still push all the responsibility to us in front of Lord Sato and get away with it.

Your father saw through his trap, so he told him that if he continued to receive merchants as he wanted, if ninjas sneaked into the village and caused damage and casualties later, we would give up protecting his safety and give priority to protecting the village.

In more serious cases, if Shirakawa Village was breached because of this incident, he would become the village chief in front of Lord Sato, and Lord Sato would not let him go. For the sake of his own life and rights, he had to give up his interests with great pain. That's why he left unhappily.

Looking at the two kids with their mouths wide open in a daze, Qianshou Ming said angrily: You still have a lot to learn!
