Traveler in Time and Space: The Journey Begins with Naruto

Rock Lee joined the Roots in the previous chapter, but the story we're about to tell today has nothing to do with Rock Lee.Because this is a story that happened in a small village next to Shucun 16 years before Rock Lee came to this world.

17:30.This village is being plundered by bandits, and there are flames, screams and the smell of blood everywhere.And our protagonist in this chapter, a 7-year-old boy named Songwen Yike, is looking desperately at the scene in front of him, without even noticing that a bandit has raised the knife in his hand towards him!At the critical moment, a businessman blocked the knife with a pitchfork and shouted: "What are you doing back here? Didn't I tell you to take it with you? Move quickly!" After hearing this, the boy Only then did he react, quickly picked up the metal and ran away.He wiped his tears and ran outside the village.I thought to myself, "Today is obviously my birthday tree. Shouldn't everyone happily eat cake together? How could this happen?"

(Author: Yes, you may find it strange and have a lot of doubts. For example, why is it suddenly 17:30, and why is the opening scene of a bandit invasion? So let’s pull the progress bar back a little , let’s see what happened ahead.)

At 10:30 noon, a caravan came to the village. The villagers received them warmly, but they were uncharacteristically quiet, as if they were worried about something, and all of them had sad faces.This made Ike feel very strange. The Ike family were blacksmiths in the village, and this caravan often came to this village to do business because of its route.They mainly buy and sell metal and iron products, so they have a very good relationship with the Ike family and often give discounts. The leader of the caravan is the businessman who later rescued Ike.His relationship with Ike is like that of brothers. He will tell Ike about their caravan's experience outside. This can be said to be a repertoire that cannot be missed for Ike who has never left the village. They can even pay for something. Chatting about trivial matters all night long.But they are ignoring Ike now, which makes him a little strange, because today is his birthday, and he is still thinking about what gifts the businessman will bring him.Although the villagers also felt a little strange, they didn't think too much about it, and they all went to take a nap after a while.But just after everyone fell asleep, they took away the cover from the carriage. What was inside was not any merchandise but gasoline, and then they hid a large amount of gasoline in every corner of the village.Once it is ignited, the result will be a sea of ​​​​fire, but why do they do this?Pulling the progress bar back another hour, let us focus on the mountainside of the mountain next to the village, where a bandit stronghold is located.

9:30 minutes.A woman's screams came from a room in the stronghold.A burly man was sitting outside the door waiting anxiously. A group of men standing in front of him were also looking at the door nervously.Sudden!The shouting and waiting stopped, and everyone's heartbeats seemed to stop for a moment.But after a while, a baby's cry came from the room, and everyone laughed and started cheering.But the burly man did not laugh immediately. Instead, after opening the door and seeing the woman on the bed smiling and holding the crying baby in her arms, he started laughing and said, "Madam, you are giving birth. Doctor." Is it a boy or a girl?"

"boy."

"Okay, brothers, come and meet your little master." After saying that, the bandits outside the door rushed in and started talking one by one. Words like "like your dad" and "like your mom" kept coming. It took a while before someone reminded the man, "Boss, it's time to give him a name."

"Yeah, let me think about it, and you guys should think about it too."

"Brother, please give me an idea!"

"Yes, I think my good boy must have a strong will, an unyielding spirit, a sense of loyalty that goes through life and death for his brothers, and a strong body and soul."

"When his boss said that, I thought of something, how about calling him a samurai! Samurai all pay attention to righteousness, courage, benevolence, etiquette, sincerity, honor, loyalty and self-denial. Although I don't understand it very well, at least I listen. It looks very impressive :-d”

"Go away, no one would name their job. Do you want your father to name you "颾崴廾"?"

"Then how about changing your name to Wu Shi?"

"Isn't this different? No. It's up to you, Lao Wu, to come up with an idea. After all, you are the most educated."

"Ah, that's okay. What do I think about calling it "Wu Jia"?"

"Hey! Okay, this is really a good name. You will have to thank your fifth uncle in the future, haha..."

Just when everyone was laughing, a bandit rushed in with a map in his hand and said quickly: "Boss, there is something happy!" The other person thought it was about the child, "I am really happy, come and say hello." When the other party heard this, he opened the map and denied it: "No, big business is here!" When the other party heard this, he immediately became serious and said: "Call all the brothers to the conference room!" After saying that, the bandits who were laughing just now became uniform. Went to the conference room, and after a while. "Everyone is here. Third brother, tell me, what's the business?"

"Then let me explain, everyone knows that there is a village at the foot of the mountain, right?"

"Of course, but because it was too poor, we never robbed it. What's wrong, what does this have to do with that village?"

"Of course it's relevant. I just found out that two caravans will rest in this village tonight. They are a medium caravan and a large caravan. They are led by a novice chuunin and an elite captain respectively. I was escorted by Shinobu.”

"The medium-sized caravan is easy to deal with, but how can we defeat the elite Jonin?"

"I have already thought of a way. The two caravans arrived at the village at different times. The medium one arrived about five hours earlier than the large one. We can stop the medium one midway and coerce them to put gasoline at various places in the village. In the corner, wait for the arrival of the large caravan, wait until the dead of night. Then launch a fire directly. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, and we still have the terrain advantage. Isn't this a sure win?"

"Good idea, let's set off right away!" This is why the caravan put gasoline on it.But at 5:30 in the evening, the elite jounin did not appear, so where was he then?Why aren't you with your caravan?Let's push the progress bar back two hours to see what that large caravan went through.

At 12:30 noon, in the forest, a large caravan was heading to the village.The team of nearly 30 people, five carriages, and one elite jounin all illustrate the luxury of this caravan.At this time, the leader asked how long it would take for the Jonin to arrive, and the Jonin only answered him "three hours", but they were destined to be unable to sell the goods.For some unknown reason, all the nearby animals gathered outside a cave not far from the caravan, as if they had received some call.The rock wall in the cave suddenly bulged, and then a child-sized stone fell out. The stone cracked like an egg and a baby boomed out.His cry successfully attracted the attention of the caravan at the unlucky place. "What is that sound?" Such questions arose in the minds of everyone in the caravan. Because the directions were not conflicting, everyone followed the leader's direction. We were led down to the cave.Looking at the animals gathered in front of the cave, everyone felt very confused. "Why are there so many animals here? What is in the cave? Why can wolves and other animals coexist so peacefully?" With such confusion, everyone planned to step forward to check, but the group of animals suddenly looked at each other. He seemed to want to stop their approach.Seeing this situation, everyone retreated and decided to leave here first, but the jounin didn't think so. "Isn't it just an animal? Let's see how I kill you." With that, he took out his chakra knife and prepared to strike hard. Chuang, just when he was about to attack!Suddenly there was a cry of a baby in the cave. The Jonin was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised to find that the animals not only stopped blocking him, but also made way for him!This made him believe that there must be something strange in the cave, so he entered the cave.Everyone in the caravan wanted to follow, but the animal stopped everyone again. It seemed that only one person was allowed to enter, and everyone had no choice but to wait outside for him to come out.

After entering the cave, he found that there was really something special inside. There were not only underground hot springs, but also some crystals on the rock walls, which could be sold for a good price at a glance.Suddenly, another baby's cry came from the depths. Upon hearing this, the jounin rushed to the depths and found the baby.He wondered: "Could this kid make the animals obey?" Although he didn't know how the kid got here, he knew he couldn't leave him here, so he carried him back to the entrance of the cave and tried to face the animal with him. The herd was raised high, and the beasts cheered suddenly. (Author: Perfect reproduction of the famous scene of The Lion King, worthy of me) Now that he was sure that this boy really had the ability to summon animals, he was ready to take him back to the caravan.But as soon as he took a step out of the cave, the beasts began to show their teeth and claws at him. Seeing this, he lifted the baby up again, but the beasts remained unmoved.He tried to put the baby down and walk away, but the beasts ignored him. But when he tried to take the baby out, the fury of the beasts awaited him!So he decided to stay here for one night and let the caravan go on its own and pick him up tomorrow. After all, there was only three hours left and nothing would happen. (Author: But something happened, but it was in the village instead of On the road.) That's why he wasn't there.

At the same time, the businessman in the village secretly woke up Ike from his nap and took him to the back entrance of the village.Ike felt sleepy and the businessman was indifferent when he arrived at the village, which made him not in a good mood now, but what the businessman brought out in the next second would be unforgettable for him.The businessman took a bag off his body, and inside was a piece of rare metal. This was a gift he originally wanted to give to Ike, and it was something that had not been discovered by the bandits.However, he did not tell Ike about this. He just said to him: "I accidentally forgot about this. Come on! This is a birthday present." If Ike was an ordinary child, he would definitely not treat a "broken rock" What kind of reaction happened? But Yike was born in a blacksmith family and he loves metal very much.Looking at the happy Ike in front of him, the businessman felt a sore nose. However, Ike didn't notice the abnormality of the other party. He also boasted that he would use this metal to make a peerless knife. Hearing what Ike said Finally, the businessman held back his tears and said to Ike: "Let's play a game. You hold the bag and run out of the village. Then I will come to catch you. Don't stop until I catch you." Ike was happy now, so he readily agreed without thinking too much, and then rushed out.The businessman followed a few symbolic steps, then waited and looked at Ik. He didn't look back until he ran out of sight, and tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.Ike's escape was discovered by two bandits standing guard at the other end of the village.But because it was too far away and they were just kiddos, the two of them didn't care much. What they cared more about was that the businessman didn't keep the secret.So they reported the matter to the boss. After learning about it, the boss decided to hide next to the village in advance and wait for the large caravan to enter the village and set fire to it!

At 15:00, Ike was really tired after running for two and a half hours, so he turned around and saw that there was no one there at all.He called out the merchant's name several times. When no one answered, he suddenly felt that he had been tricked and walked towards the village.During this period, he was worried that he would be eaten by a wolf that suddenly burst out of the woods, but he could rest assured, because all the nearby animals were attracted to the cave where the Jonin was.Just half an hour after he walked, a soaring flame appeared from the direction of the village!Ike was attracted by the fire in the distance, and his intuition told him that something was wrong with the fire that rushed out of the village.So he quickened his pace and rushed towards the village.The Jonin on the other side also saw the fire. He had no choice but to leave the baby to the care of the beasts and then rushed towards the village.Ike is still two hours away from the village, and the jounin is still three hours away from the village. However, as an elite single jounin, he is quite fast, and he can arrive in just two hours. .

So at 17:30 two hours later, it was back to the starting time.So right after the beginning of the story, Ike ran out of the village holding the metal, but he was stopped by two bandits not long after he ran.The other party snatched away the metal, then pushed Ike to the ground and raised the knife, just when Ike's head was about to hit the ground!A big hand gently blocked Ik's eyes. After hearing two screams, a bag was placed on Ik's hand, and a man's voice said to him: "This is his thing, take it." , after letting go for a while, you run backwards and don't look back." After saying that, he took away his hand, and Ike did as the man said and ran towards the outside of the village without looking back.And that man was the elite Jonin who had just arrived. After he arrived, the situation of the battle took a turn for the worse, and the bandits were beaten away within a short time.But the direction in which they fled was exactly the same as the direction in which Ik fled, indicating that Ik was running towards the enemy's hometown, but on that mountain there was not only a bandit stronghold but also a dojo located at the top of the mountain.

This dojo is very secretive, and almost no outsiders know of its existence.The manager of the dojo is an old man with superb swordsmanship. He also noticed the fire that soared into the sky just now and was now on his way down the mountain.While the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, just when the bandits' large army is in the village, another group of bandits is staring at the stronghold on the mountainside, and there are only two bandits and armored warriors left in the stronghold with them. The mother and the doctor who delivered her baby.

After a while, Ike arrived at the foot of the mountain and fainted from exhaustion after running for several hours without even eating.At this time, the two bandits in the stronghold discovered through the telescope that there seemed to be something reflecting light in Ike's bag, so they decided to go down and kill him and took the bag up to have a look. This scene was discovered by the old man who came down the mountain, so He rescued Ike and killed the two bandits.Just when the old man was about to return to the dojo with Ike in his arms, he heard a woman's scream coming from the stronghold. The bandits who were returning to the stronghold also heard the scream, so they speeded up to rush back. stronghold.

The source of the scream was Wu Jia's mother. It turned out that the group of bandits who wanted to take advantage of the enemy saw the departure of the two bandits standing guard, so they rushed directly into the stronghold and killed the girl who could not move because she had just given birth. Wu Jia's mother, then turned around to kill the doctor.At this time, the doctor was holding his armor and running around in the stronghold. Just when the doctor was caught and about to be killed, the old man holding Ike finally arrived and easily eliminated all the bandits with one hand.At this time, another group belatedly returned to the stronghold. After learning about the old man's origin from the doctor's dictation, they decided to hand over Wu Jia to the old man to raise him for ten years. They planned to avenge another group of bandits. Come back later.So the old man took Ike and Wu Jia back to the dojo. The bandits left here and decided to come back ten years later. After putting out the fire, the jounin and chuunin in the village began to treat the wounded while piling the dead. Together, they planned to be cremated tomorrow, but after everyone fell asleep.The blood flowing out of the corpse slowly condensed together and gradually transformed into the appearance of a baby.
