Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

The old village chief and several villagers also looked over. Mobile version m..

Before that, because Izumi and Kimimaro's actions to drive away the bandits attracted most people's attention, most of the villagers' eyes were focused on them. It was only then that they noticed Bai Mingyu's existence. , the faces of several villagers showed doubts.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Mingyu and Quan are just teenagers.

Kimimaro is even younger.

Although children in the Naruto world are generally precocious, it seems a bit strange for these three people to appear here without adults accompanying them.

Children at this age generally don't have such strong skills.

"That's it."

Bai Mingyu smiled and replied casually: "Actually, we wandered here from other places. We are warriors traveling outside. We happened to see what happened in your village and helped us. Since the bandits have left, Well, then it’s time for us to leave.”

"Uh……"

Several villagers looked at each other.

The same old village chief, after hesitating for a moment, said: "Please wait a moment, young gentleman... I know it may be too much to make this request rashly, but can you please help me? You are samurai traveling abroad, so can we hire you to help us defend ourselves against the intrusion of those bandits?"

"Ok?"

Bai Mingyu frowned and was about to politely refuse.

The old village chief was observing his words and noticed the change in his expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, the reason why those bandits are targeting our village is because a group of bandits were recently discovered in the mountains near our village. Extremely valuable treasures. It is precisely because they covet these treasures that the bandits continue to invade our village, brutally kill the people in the village, and steal our wealth...

If you can help protect our village from bandits, in exchange, we are willing to give you a portion of those treasures! "

"Treasure?"

Bai Mingyu's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Quan next to him, feeling a little better in his heart: "What is that?"

"It's a very rare ore."

The old village chief said slowly: "Actually, we don't know much about the function of that kind of ore, but I heard that it is a rare and rare treasure for those ninjas. It is even a hundred times more precious than gold mines. Therefore, once it appears, it will arouse the covetousness of many people. Originally, we were skeptical about this statement, but now it seems that... we, the villagers, may not be able to save the mine just with the strength of us villagers."

"Gold mines are even more precious..."

Listening to the old village chief's description, Bai Mingyu's eyes moved. Quan next to him gently touched his back with his elbow and said in a low voice: "Mr. Bai Yu, could the ore they were talking about be... "

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Bai Mingyu nodded slightly.

Both he and Quan had already somewhat guessed what that batch of ore was——

Chakra conductive metal.

There are many strange minerals in the world of Naruto, such as iron ore that can continuously regenerate and repair itself through blood-sucking, rare ores that can absorb and store chakra...

Chakra conductive metals are the most widely applicable of these minerals.

The so-called chakra conductive metal, as the name suggests, is a special metal that can be injected with chakra and fused with the metal itself, thus greatly increasing the power of ninjutsu. It is suitable for making some ninja tools and equipment with special properties. Even in the entire Naruto world, there are not many weapons made of this metal, but each one has a great reputation.

Like the seven ninja swords of Kirigakure Village,

The two flying swallows held by Asuma Sarutobi in the original novel, and even the special kunai used by the Fourth Hokage to release the flying thunder god, are all made of this ore, or mixed with this ore component. Exceptions, all have excellent performance far beyond ordinary ninja tools.

Moreover, the price remains high.

If you take ninja tools like the seven ninja swords of Kirigakure Village, even if their performance is slightly inferior, and sell them on the black market, they can easily sell for tens of millions of taels! And it’s priceless!

Well, that means...

The two flying swallows in Asuma's hand are actually worth more than his own head...

of course,

Without being cast into ninja tools, chakra conductive metal is just a batch of special metal ores at best. The price is not so ridiculously high, but it can definitely be regarded as a huge fortune. Old Village Chief Calling it a treasure is an understatement.

if it is like this……

We can also understand why those bandits burned and looted this small village...

"Village Chief, when did you first discover those minerals?"

Bai Mingyu took a deep breath, calmed down again, looked at the old village chief, and said slowly: "Besides those bandits, who else knows the news?"

The old village chief frowned and thought for a while, then said: "About a month ago... Actually, the mountain near our village originally had an iron mine. Over the years, the villagers have been relying on mining the iron ore from the mountain to smelt it into steel. Sold to those nobles and ninja villages to support their families.

In recent years, iron ore has gradually become scarce. Some villagers tried to dig elsewhere, but unexpectedly they actually dug out another kind of ore... Some villagers brought that kind of ore to the city, and they heard that it was a kind of ore that many ninjas Precious metals that everyone dreams of. Everyone thought they could make a fortune from these ores, but they didn’t expect..."

At the end of the sentence, the old village chief sighed heavily.

Other surrounding villagers also looked concerned.

This village was originally not big, but after the killings by the bandits, dozens of young and middle-aged laborers died. It was a heavy blow to this village with only a few hundred households.

"..."

Bai Mingyu said his condolences, turned around and glanced at Quan and Kimimaro, who quickly came over.

"Baiyu-kun, what should we do? If that batch of ore is really chakra conductive metal..." Quan quietly glanced at the villagers not far away and said in a low voice: "If we let it go, these villagers are likely to They were looted by bandits again, and in the end the entire village was destroyed. The result was too tragic for them..."

"That's right..."

This is the reason why it is a crime to possess a jade.

Although chakra conductive metals are extremely precious treasures, if their strength is not maintained, it will not be a good thing for the villagers in this village, but will symbolize the source of a disaster.
