Ninja Mythology: The Strongest Sand Hidden

Chapter 17
At night, the sky is full of stars, embellishing the dark night with the bright moon.

The farmers in Ruchuan County who went out during the day and returned at night had already returned to their houses to rest early.

Some unknown insects in the grass and ponds are making tenacious calls, disturbing the silent countryside.

"Hey! Master, the ninjas in the Land of the Wind seem to be much better than our original group!"

"Not only will they give us food, but we won't have to pay taxes for three years. If we don't have any grain seeds, we can borrow from them..."

"I heard from them that our place is no longer called the Kingdom of Sichuan, but Rukawa County under the Kingdom of Wind..."

The woman's voice was suddenly interrupted by a dull male voice, "What do you know?!"

"The guys in the Kingdom of the Wind didn't keep their promises. They promised to give them enough rations for one year, but when the rations were distributed, they only had enough for three months!"

"It's just a bunch of hypocritical guys..."

"Hey, the food for three months is also food, so don't you have to pay taxes for the harvest of the next three years?" The woman's voice sounded again.

"Tomorrow morning, we have to go to the field to sow seeds early, before the spring rain has passed..."

"There is no rush for tomorrow morning, there is still a piece of land that needs to be sown first!" The man's quack laughter came from the room.

"Death! Be quiet, be careful that the child is still asleep..."

After a while, the shaking sound of creaking and creaking came from the house, echoing with the croaking of insects and frogs outside, ups and downs.

In the middle of the village, there is a relatively spacious two-story wooden house with a yard. Several people are kneeling and sitting in the hall on the first floor.

A red lamp illuminated their faces, and they were obviously headed by an old man in the main seat.

Everyone's brows were tightly furrowed, and the old man didn't say a word, just groping around his body.

Finally, he dug out a patched cloth bag, carefully pinched some tobacco leaves from the inside, and stuffed them into the old bong in his hand.

"Village Chief!" Finally, a middle-aged man couldn't bear it and said, his face was full of resentment.

Just as the old man took the bong out of the light, he took a deep breath, letting the smoke flow around his aged body.

After holding back for a long time, the old man exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"Village head?! There is no way to go on like this! The guys in Shayin Village are too deceitful. They only arrested Tian Jiang's two daughters half a month ago, and today they even took away the youngest daughter of the Inoue family! "

Another strong man also spoke. He bared his upper body, revealing his strong muscles. He looked like someone who often does heavy physical work.

"That's right! Who doesn't have a female family member, if this continues, sooner or later it will be our own turn!" The rest of the people also echoed.

"Then did we copy guys fight with those people?"

"You only have one strength at most, can you take those sickles and machetes, can you fight against ninjas?"

"It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before. Wouldn't it be better when Gu Yin ruled?" The old man rubbed his bong, the old copper pipe had been touched dark and buttery, and he spoke slowly. asked rhetorically.

"But, can they go back on what they clearly agreed?!" The strong man slapped his thigh and shouted angrily.

"One year's rations have become three months, and most of the borrowed grain seeds are moldy! How can we survive these days?"

"Isn't it because you ate and drank immediately after hearing that there was a one-year ration available, and even sent the food to the widow at the end of the village? You pretended that we didn't know?" asked a thin young man opposite the man. joked.

"Okay!" The village head picked up the pipe and tapped the floor, and then said, "These are just trivial matters. Those ninjas in the Kingdom of Wind have been surveying and measuring our river."

"The Land of Wind is notoriously short of water, and the land is full of deserts. I reckon that they are trying to divert our country's rivers to them..." the village chief let out a long breath, His brows were furrowed.

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Since as long as they can remember, they have been relying on the land and rivers of the country of Kawa to live. Although the ninjas in Guyin Village sometimes do some excessive things, as long as they pay enough taxes, the life of the farmers is still easy. It's also calm.

However, ninjas from other countries came to the land they were familiar with, and they seemed to stay and never leave, which already made them quite uncomfortable.

Now hearing from the village head that these guys from other countries are planning to intercept the rivers they depend on for survival, how can this not make them feel furious.

"What's the use of being angry? Recklessness will only cost you your life in vain." The village head said quietly.

"The only one who can fight against a big country is a big country, Hiroki, isn't your second uncle in the Fire Nation business?"

"Send him a message and ask him to help you find out what the Fire Nation means."

"Yifu! You find a way to sneak into the construction team of the Kingdom of Wind, and find a way to find out the defense of Hidden Sand Village. This is the capital we will negotiate with the Kingdom of Fire."

A gust of evening wind suddenly blew in, the lights shook violently, and the light that shone on the village chief's face brightened and dimmed for a while.

At noon the next day, the sun was high in the sky, evaporating the morning dew.

At the original highland ruins of Guyin Village, rows of neat and shiny stone houses have reappeared.

It looks like it was mass-produced with earth escape ninjutsu. It doesn't look very beautiful, but it must be no problem for sheltering from wind and rain.

After all, there is no 'real estate tycoon' Yamato in Hidden Sand Village.

In the center of the highland, a three-story stone house stands up. There are some patterns carved on the outside of the stone house, which looks a little more elegant.

On the top floor of the stone house, the walls have been painted in a snow-white tone, with many calligraphy and paintings hanging on them, and the spacious room is covered with snow fox blankets.

In the middle of the room is a large oval rosewood bed, about three meters long and wide. There are many pictures of flowers, birds and animals carved on the railing of the bed, and the surface is painted with gold lacquer, which looks extremely expensive.

A man and four women were lying on the bed, some close-fitting clothes were randomly scattered on the bed, and a few arms were stuck to the soft quilt.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was another girl hiding in the corner of the room. She was holding a blanket to cover her young body.

Her body twitched from time to time, and her face was full of horror, as if she had experienced considerable pain and her outlook on life had been rewashed.

boom!
There was the sound of kicking the door, and then there was a noisy quarrel outside the door.

"You can't go in without Master Takahashi's permission..."

"Please respect yourself!"

"Master Soya, that guy is inside!"

Bang!
With a loud bang, the thick wooden door was kicked open, and the shattered wood residue splashed into the room.
