Naruto: Falling from the sky into Hashirama's arms

Recently, a piece of news has spread throughout the area around Konoha City, and there are even signs that it is spreading outward, that is, this special city has begun to recruit civilians.

Most people were still very hesitant about this, but there were still some people who chose to join, like Makoto Shigehiro and Sakata Komatsuro. They both chose to join Konoha Castle, and joined not long after the news came out.

Some ordinary people like them who work in Linsang Factory also chose to join this city. Most of them joined because they believed in Linsang.

Most of them couldn't survive in the beginning, but the factory opened by 03 gave them a glimmer of hope, so they joined this city where ninjas make up the majority without hesitation.

There are also some who did not join because they considered many factors. What cannot be refuted is that the reputation of ninjas here is indeed not good, and the first thought of ordinary people when they meet them is to stay away.

Besides, Lin Sang did not force them to join and continued to let them work in their respective factories, so overall their lives were actually quite affluent. Besides, they originally lived nearby and were locals, so they were not so eager to join.

They would not choose to join unless they have no other choice.

In fact, these are not the main targets of Konoha City. Their ultimate target is actually the refugees who have lost their homes and regard this place as their last straw.

Because only such people will not choose to leave after joining, but will take root here and regard it as their new home.

Time flies quickly. Before I knew it, three months have passed since the news of Konoha City recruiting people came out, and the news has spread to more distant places.

----------------------------------

The Futian family was one of them. The village where they lived was hit by bandits. Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village were injured, and some lost their lives because of their fierce resistance. The crops originally planted in the fields were also destroyed, and the food that had been planted with great effort could not survive...

In fact, they could have continued to stay there, but there was no guarantee that the bandits would come back again, and no one knew if they would be lucky enough to survive next time, so the Fukuda family prepared to leave.

Compared with others, the Fukuda family was very lucky, at least they did not become refugees.

Since the news of Konoha City spread, some refugees have been rushing towards Konoha City. Most of them can no longer survive for various reasons and go to Konoha City to fight for the last time.

The Fukuda family met this group of people by accident.

Mr. Fukuda is the male head of the Fukuda family and the pillar of the family. He has a friend who happens to live near Konoha City, so he also knows some news about Konoha City, which is why he chose to bring his family here.

Mrs. Fukuda is a petite woman who always looks like she has a slightly hunched back. In fact, it's not just her, Mr. Fukuda is like that too. This is because they all have to work in the fields, and it has become like this over time.

They also had a child, who was being held by the hand. He didn't look very old, perhaps only four or five years old.

At this time, the child pointed at the crowd approaching not far away and said, "Dad, there are people over there!"

After hearing what the child said, both Mr. and Mrs. Fukuda became alert, because the most feared thing on the road is actually meeting people.

Mrs. Fukuda bent down and picked up the child, holding him tightly. The child in her arms seemed to be aware of something and also hugged her mother's neck tightly.

But when they saw who was coming, they were indeed stunned. There were about a dozen people, but they were all skinny and had numb expressions. Such expressions were actually not uncommon in this era. At least the Futian family was relieved because they knew that the people who came were not robbers or something.

The Futian family looked at each other, already having some guesses about their identities.

The leader obviously saw Mr. Fukuda and his family, but he did not pay much attention to them. Instead, he walked to the back and helped another person to continue moving forward.

The person they were supporting had chapped lips, obviously suffering from dehydration.

Finally, Mrs. Fukuda and Mr. Fukuda looked at each other, and Mr. Fukuda spoke: "...Drink some water, we still have..."

Although the vegetation nearby is dense, there is indeed little water. As far as Mr. Fukuda knows, the Minamiga River is still some distance away from here. However, the man in front of him looked very weak and seemed to be extremely short of water, so Mr. Fukuda decided to help them.

Seeing that they hadn't spoken yet, Mr. Fukuda continued, "There is a river here, but it's still some distance away from here."

After hearing what Mr. Fukuda said, the refugees realized that Mr. Fukuda's family had no ill intentions, and they breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in their current weak state, they were not sure they could put up another fight.

During the trip, Mr. Fukuda also learned that their destination was Konoha City, and he explained to them that he also planned to take his family to Konoha City to survive. Upon hearing this, these people simply decided to travel together, at least with more people they could take care of each other.

The refugee who looked so weak that he needed help drank some water and rested for a while. He finally seemed to have recovered a little.

Seeing these people resting, the Fukuda family simply rested together. They sat together, and Mr. Fukuda also told them how far it was from here to Konoha City, and they slowly began to chat.

……

------------------------------

As the Fukuda family and the refugees slowly approached Konoha Castle, they found that the surrounding scenery had quietly changed. More and more people were walking around them, including some businessmen in gorgeous clothes, and of course there were also people like them who were ragged and looked sad.

Of course, what is more eye-catching is the black shadows that pass by from time to time. At the beginning, both Mr. Fukuda and his family and these refugees were actually frightened, because they all knew that people with such abilities could only have one identity, and that was a ninja.

At this moment, they had never realized so deeply that the city they wanted to go to would be very different from the city they had previously imagined.
