Subversion starts from Hokage

The morning sun always prefers this secluded valley. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, the sun shines directly in without being blocked.The smoke rising above every house is like a series of pillars, seemingly connected to the faint clouds above.

Liu Qing didn't sleep well. He tossed and turned in the middle of the night, thinking about those outsiders. He always felt that they would bring disaster to this peaceful and peaceful mountain village.He barely managed to fall asleep until about three o'clock in the middle of the night, but even so, he woke up early in the morning.

Rubbing his groggy eyes, he pushed open the door. His father, Tamagawa Kensho, had already left home with a hoe on his shoulder. He was going to plow the fields.

Everything about this valley is good. The only thing that is not very satisfying is that the winter is not particularly cold.In relatively backward societies, many people tend to only subconsciously pay attention to spring and autumn, but they don't know that winter is actually the most important for farming.In the absence of pesticides and scientific pest control methods, various insects are the most harmful to crops.

In another world, there is a saying called "Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest", which means that if there is a heavy snowfall in winter and the insect eggs in the soil are frozen to death, then there will definitely be a bumper harvest in the coming year.

Even in this winter, the temperature in the valley is above zero, about four to five degrees, which is far from freezing the insect eggs in the deep soil. Therefore, in order to prevent too many insects from eating the crops in the coming year, all Everyone needs to turn over the soil in their fields.Just turning it over is not enough, you also need to pour some water on it, and use the temperature difference caused by the sudden drop in temperature in the middle of the night to freeze the frost on the turned over and broken soil.

Only in this way can the insect eggs hidden in the soil be eliminated to the greatest extent.

Liu Qing simply ate the warm vegetable porridge her father left on the table, put on her clothes and ran out the door.Everyone is probably already up at this time. This is the advantage of not having entertainment. People tend to go to bed early and get up early.

If it were in the past, Liu Qing might have run into the surrounding mountains and forests with her friends to search for some delicious things, such as bird eggs.The temperature in the valley is much higher than outside. Some birds live here all year round and never leave, which gives them the opportunity to look for game.

But today, he decided to stare at those people.Those people would never have thought that a five or six-year-old child would have such mature thinking.

He was riding on the tree outside the village chief's house, carefully observing the behavior of everyone in the yard, and he noticed something strange.The state of these people is completely different from yesterday.

If someone in a group of people is injured, they should be very relaxed when they find a suitable place to repair. However, there is no sign of relaxation on the faces of these people. They are very alert, as if they are on guard against something.What dangers could there be in this valley? Some ferocious beasts in the past have become food for everyone with the combined efforts of the villagers. So what are they guarding against?

On guard against people

Almost everyone among the five people discovered Liu Qing, but they didn't pay attention to Liu Qing's behavior, he was just a curious child.But through their gazes, Liu Qing vaguely felt that these people seemed to be planning something.

At this time, outside the valley, three ninjas suddenly jumped out of the dense forest.One of them was almost lying on the ground, sniffing carefully on a leaf that was torn apart by some force.His expression was very solemn. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the two people beside him. "It may be them. The smell is very weak. It should be left by people passing by before. And we also found several warning threads. They It must be nearby."

The other person frowned and looked at the dense woods around him, his two worried eyebrows almost coming together, "But we have repeatedly searched all nearby places and found no trace of them. Could it be?" They deliberately set up these things to mislead us, but have actually left."

The man who was lying on the ground stood up, clapped his hands and knees, and shook his head: "Impossible. Two of their group were injured, and one of them was seriously injured. Unless this guy is abandoned, their It can’t go any faster.”

Carrying someone on your back is completely different from traveling alone. A person may be able to carry someone on his back for 50 meters, but it is absolutely impossible to walk the entire distance.Even if they take turns carrying the wounded to achieve the goal of running all the time, the speed will not be fast.

Ninjas are neither gods nor devils. Ninjas are also humans. As humans, they need rest and supplies. As long as they stop, it is impossible to escape tracking.

"Then let's search again and maybe we'll find new clues."

Just when the three of them were about to leave, there was a sudden sound of grass blades being rubbed not far away.

The three of them looked at each other, took out their kunai and held it tightly in their hands. They lowered their bodies and moved towards the place where the noise was heard.

They thought they were enemies, but what they didn't expect was that they were actually a group of ordinary people.These people were carrying and pushing two carts on their shoulders, which were piled with many necessities of life.The three of them did not relax their vigilance. Two were lurking around and one stood up.

Suddenly there was a person in the woods, and the group was almost startled. One of the young people patted his chest and looked reproachfully at the guy who blocked their way, "I thought it was something, really. It’s scary.”

"Hello, what are you doing here?" Konoha's ninja put his hand holding the kunai behind his back. "There are woods around here, and there are no settlements."

The group of people looked at me and I looked at you, all silent. This made the ninjas of Konoha suddenly realize that there must be some hidden place nearby that they had not discovered.He immediately took a step forward, which made those people become more vigilant.

At this time, he had no time to explain the beginning and end of the matter, and said urgently: "We are the ninjas of Konoha Village. Under the orders of the Daimyo, we are hunting down five wandering ninjas here. These five guys are very dangerous. They were killed by us after they failed to assassinate the nobles. Injured, we chased them around here but couldn't find them. If you know where they might be hiding, please take us there."

"please"

These people are residents of the valley. Many things in the valley are self-sufficient, but there are also some things that must be purchased from the outside world.The most common and indispensable thing is salt, as well as other condiments and daily necessities.The war has just ended, the aftermath has not yet ended, and the price of food has not dropped yet. The food in the valley can be sold out quickly, so the villagers in the valley are not short of money.

These people come and go between the valley and nearby cities every two or three months, and they are more or less familiar with the outside world. When the Konoha ninja reported out of the house, most of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the many ninja villages and many forces, Konoha Village has a pretty good reputation. At least they will not massacre civilians for no reason.

A slightly older middle-aged man in the caravan stood up, with humility and respect, "Sir, can you provide evidence that you are a ninja of Konoha Village?"

The Konoha ninja lifted his collar, revealing the forehead protector tied around his neck.

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction. In addition to approving the ninja's forehead protector, more importantly, he cared very much about the ninja's attitude.You must know that in this world, ninjas with inhuman powers often regard themselves and ordinary people as two different creatures.With their powerful power, they often don't care about the lives of ordinary people, let alone their attitudes.But this ninja is very good. At least he didn't show arrogance or anything else, but silently expressed his identity.

The middle-aged man pointed to the depths of the dense forest in the distance and said: "There is a gap on the cliff in front, which is covered by vines. Through the vines, you can reach the valley where we live. If what you said is true, Maybe those people have already arrived in our village." At this point, the middle-aged man turned back to look at a young villager who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, "You take this adult back to the village immediately. Those dangerous wandering ninjas may really It’s in the village.”

The Konoha ninja finally let down all his vigilance. He quietly inserted the kunai back into the kunai bag on his thigh, and his eyes became softer.The other two ninjas slowly stood up from behind the tree on the side. The middle-aged man was slightly startled and nodded.In fact, he was shocked at this moment, and his back was instantly covered with sweat beads. He was secretly glad in his heart that he did not have a conflict with the ninja of Konoha Village.

Looking at the backs of the three ninjas and the juniors in the village leaving quickly, the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown, with a trace of worry on his face.He coughed lightly, and all the villagers looked at him subconsciously, which was enough to reflect his usual reputation and status in the village. "Let's leave quickly. Maybe we can be of some help."

Someone said with a smile: "Village chief, how can we help?"

The middle-aged man suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't call me village chief after this, you guys, forget it." His face straightened, a little serious, "If those wandering ninjas are really in the village, a battle may break out. If so. If there is a fight, it may affect the village."

His face became heavier. In the war that just ended, the most casualties were not ninjas, but civilians.Often the aftermath of a battle between a few powerful ninjas is enough to destroy a village or even a town.There may be casualties among ninjas, but the ones who die more are the ordinary residents.

Although these three ninja masters did not look very powerful, there was always an uneasy feeling spreading in his heart.
