Open Treasure Chest Through Konoha

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

Junmalu was even younger.

Although children in the world of Naruto are generally precocious, it seems somewhat strange that such three people appear here without adults accompanying them.

Generally, children at this age don't have such sharp skills.

"more or less."

Bai Mingyu smiled, and replied casually: "Actually, we wandered here from other places. We are warriors traveling abroad. We happened to see what happened in your village, so we helped out. Since the bandits We're gone, so we should go too."

"Uh……"

Several villagers looked at each other.

The same old village head, after hesitating for a moment, said: "Please wait a moment, this little gentleman... I know that it may be too much to make this request hastily, but can I ask you for a favor, since You are warriors traveling abroad, can we hire you to help us resist the intrusion of those bandits?"

"Ok?"

Bai Mingyu frowned, and was about to politely refuse.

The old village head, however, noticed the change in his expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "To be honest, the reason why those bandits are eyeing our village is because a mountain near our village recently discovered a A batch of extremely valuable treasures. It is precisely because of this group of bandits that they covet these treasures, they continue to invade our village, brutally kill the people in the village, and loot our wealth...

If you can save our village from bandits, in exchange, we are willing to share some of those treasures with you! "

"Treasure?"

Bai Mingyu's eyes moved slightly, and he exchanged glances with Quan next to him, feeling somewhat curious: "What is that?"

"It is a very rare ore."

The old village chief said slowly: "Actually, we don't know much about the function of that ore, but I heard that it is a rare treasure that can't be found for those ninja adults, even a hundred times more precious than gold mines. , so once it appears, it will attract the covetousness of many people. Originally, we were skeptical about this statement, but now it seems...only with the strength of us villagers, I am afraid that the mine will not be able to be kept."

"More precious than a gold mine..."

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

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

Bai Mingyu nodded slightly.

Both he and Quan had guessed what the ore was—

Chakra conducts metal.

There are many strange minerals in Naruto World, such as iron ore that can continuously regenerate and self-repair through blood sucking, rare ore that can absorb and store chakra...

Chakra conductive metal is the most widely applicable of these minerals.

The so-called Chakra conductive metal, as the name suggests, is a special metal that can accept the injection of Chakra and fuse with the metal itself, thereby greatly enhancing 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 of them has a great reputation.

For example, the seven ninja swords in Wuyin Village,

There are also the two flying swallows in the hands of Sarutobi Asma in the original book, and the special kunai used by the Fourth Hokage to release Fei Leishen. They are all made of this ore, or mixed with this ore. With one exception, they all have excellent performance far surpassing ordinary ninja tools.

Moreover, the price is also high.

If ninja tools like the seven ninja knives in Wuyin Village, even if their performance is slightly inferior, are sold on the black market, they can easily sell for tens of millions of taels!And it is priceless!

Well, that is to say...

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

of course,

In the case of not being cast into ninja tools, the chakra conductive metal is at best a batch of special metal ores, and the price is not so ridiculously high, but it can definitely be regarded as a huge fortune, old village It is not an exaggeration to call it a treasure.

if it is like this……

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

"Master Village Chief, when did you first discover that batch of minerals?"

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

The old village head frowned and thought for a while, then said: "About a month ago... In fact, there was an iron mine on the mountain near our village. Over the years, the villagers have been relying on mining the iron ore on the mountain to smelt it into steel. In the future, it will be 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 in other places, but unexpectedly found another kind of ore... Some villagers brought that kind of ore to the city, only to hear that it is a kind of The precious metals that all ninjas dream of, everyone thought they could get rich by relying on these ores, but they didn't expect..."

At the end, the old village chief sighed heavily.

The other villagers around also felt relatives.

This village was originally small, but after the bandits killed dozens of young and middle-aged laborers, it was a heavy blow to this village with only a few hundred households.

"..."

Bai Mingyu said his condolences, turned around and took a look at Quan and Jun Malu, and the two quickly came together.

"Bai Yu-jun, 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 leave it alone, these villagers will probably They were ransacked by bandits again, and even the whole village was destroyed in the end, the result was too tragic for them..."

"That's right..."

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

Chakra conductive metals are indeed extremely precious treasures, but if they do not have the strength to keep them, it will not be a good thing for the villagers in this village, but it will symbolize the source of a disaster.

Chapter 240 IX Your Name? (build)

Bai Mingyu hesitated a little.

There is no doubt that chakra conductive metal is a good thing.

Although it is not very useful to him-according to Bai Mingyu's ability and fighting style, he does not need any special ninja equipment, and even if it is a weapon made of chakra conductive metal, it may not be better than Sode Shirayuki. easy to use.But for Izumi and Junmaro, a set of excellent ninja equipment can greatly improve their strength.

Moreover, conductive metal is not only used to make weapons, it can also be used to make armor.

——Speaking of which, the Chakra armor that Bai Mingyu and Izumi and others obtained in the Snow Country mission have completed preliminary analysis and deconstruction in the Konoha Ninja Tool Department, and even released a batch of Type [-] and Type [-] armor trial products.However, because it is still in the experimental stage and the output is very small, currently only a small number of ninjas are equipped with some to test the actual effect, so only a few people including the third generation themselves know about this matter, while others, including Bai Mingyu, Quan and Xiyan, who brought the Chakra armor back to Konoha, didn't know the inside story.

Of course, even if the test results are ideal, further improvement and perfection are still needed. It will be at least a few years before it is truly assembled on the ninjas of Konoha...

……

Closer to home.

Although Bai Mingyu was a little moved by the price offered by the old village chief, he was also very aware of the risks involved.

"If the ore mentioned by the old village chief is really chakra conductive metal...I'm afraid it's not just the bandits who are eyeing this village."

To put it bluntly, although the chakra conductive metal is very valuable, but no matter how valuable it is, it is just a batch of special precious metals to ordinary people.

And once in the hands of ninjas, the value of various ninja tools and equipment with special properties produced by using it will soar by dozens or even hundreds of times.Become a priceless treasure in the true sense.

That is to say...

The people who are now looking at these metal mines are just a group of bandits who want to make a fortune, but as long as the news continues to spread, other people will soon be moved by the news, which may include ninjas from other villages.At that time, Bai Mingyu couldn't guarantee that his party would be safe and sound.

After listening to Bai Mingyu's analysis of the pros and cons, Quan remained silent.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and tentatively said, "How about... shall we notify the village? Or ask the old village chief to hire Konoha's ninjas to guard the mine. If Konoha sends a ninja troop over, the others Surely you won't dare to act rashly?"

"...Let's wait and see the situation first."

Bai Mingyu smiled, noncommittal.

Asking Konoha for help is of course a way, but in that case, the batch of chakra conductive metal that was originally agreed to be given to Bai Mingyu and the others as a reward will probably be acquired by the village.Moreover, they have only left the village for a few days, and now they go back to contact the village, and they always feel like they are slapping themselves in the face.

"Well, anyway, let's take this commission first, and treat it as an experience. Even if ninjas from other countries sneak in, you and Junmaro should be able to deal with ordinary enemies. I believe they will not Dare to send a large-scale ninja army in the land of fire."

Bai Mingyu quickly made a decision.

Quan had no objection, and Jun Malu had no objection even more. This gray-haired young lady had no opinions, and almost obeyed Bai Mingyu and Quan's words.

Immediately, Bai Mingyu told the old village head the decision after several people discussed it.

The old village head let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly put down the nervous expression on his face, squeezed out a smile and said: "The old man represents our village, thank you in advance, the warriors came from a long way, the road must be very hard Well, please follow me to the village to rest for a while...By the way, I don’t know the names of the samurai lords?”

"name……"

Bai Mingyu subconsciously glanced at the two people around him and scratched his head.

Since Konoha Ninja's identity is concealed, the name must be made up accordingly, otherwise it will be easy for someone with a heart to see the clue...

After thinking for a while, Bai Mingyu said: "My name... is Estes, the two next to me are my companions, this girl is called Chitong, and this white-haired boy is my younger brother... His name is Qi Ya."

"what?"

Izumi and Junmaro had strange expressions on their faces.

But in front of outsiders, they also silently accepted their new names.

"It turns out to be Master Esdeth... Please come in."

Soon, the old village head brought Bai Mingyu and others into the village, while the other villagers were busy cleaning the blood on the ground, collecting the dead villagers and bandit corpses one by one, and carrying them to the field outside the village carry out the burial.

At noon that day, after having a full meal at the old village head's house, Bai Mingyu began to try to find out more information from the old village head, and at the same time tried to ask about the situation of the mine outside the village - although the possibility of making a mistake was unlikely , but if the mine outside the village is not actually a chakra conduction metal mine, the misunderstanding will be big.

"Do you want to go to that mine to have a look? That's fine... Then please sit here for a while, and I'll call a few people to show you the way."

The old village head got up and walked out with a cane.

Bai Mingyu glanced back at the girl beside him: "Quan, you and Jun Malu stay in the village first, take this time to learn about the situation in the village, if you find any clues, we can discuss it after I come back in the afternoon .”

"By the way, there is this guy..."

With that said, Bai Mingyu unzipped the backpack.

A fluffy head poked out from inside, and Ibrahimovic looked out, then jumped out, walked around the ground a few times, ran to Quan's legs, curled up and lay down.

Speaking of which, this Ibrahimovic has been on Bai Mingyu's body for a long time.

It was opened from the treasure chest on the way to the Snow Country... However, until now, Bai Mingyu still hasn't realized that this little thing is useful other than being cute.However, Quan has a good impression of it. After all, girls like this cute little animal. Since he can't count on it in battle, Bai Mingyu simply throws it to Quan as a pet.

Perhaps in Quan's hands, it might be able to develop its ability...

"Well, leave it to me, Mr. Bai Yu, you have to be careful." Quan nodded and said.

……

Work in a while.

The old village chief came back with two strong young men. He briefly introduced their identities. They were both miners who had been mining in the mountains all the year round in the village, and they were very familiar with the road conditions on the mountains.
