Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Chapter 37: Overnight in the Mountain Village

This nameless little mountain village is located at the foot of a small hill, with green mountains behind it and a small river in front. It has a good location and is surrounded by a circle of simple wooden fences, which is as high as an adult's waist. It should be a defense measure set up to resist small wild animals.

Sensei Jiraiya led the three of us to the village entrance and said to the only guard at the entrance: "Hello, we are ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village. We are passing by here on a mission. It is getting late so we would like to stay overnight in the village."

The guard at the entrance of the village didn't look very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was stunned for a moment when he heard what Master Jiraiya said, but he didn't answer and ran towards the village: "Grandpa Village Chief, there are ninjas coming, Grandpa Village Chief, there are ninjas coming."

The three of us looked at each other in bewilderment. Jiraiya-sensei was not surprised at all. “Not everyone has the talent to become a ninja, and not everyone is born in Konoha. They may not leave the village for a long time in their life, so the things you are accustomed to may be something they have never seen in their life.”

Jiraiya sighed: "In fact, except for a few major ninja villages, most villages in the entire ninja world are just like this village, living a peaceful life without conflict with the world. However, conflicts and wars among the major ninja villages will lead to the destruction of many such villages."

None of us three have ever experienced war, or even a real battle, so even though I know that Jiraiya is a man who truly desires peace and loves all living beings, and even sacrificed himself for the peace of the ninja world, it is difficult for us to empathize with his sighs.

Fortunately, the village chief came out soon. A white-haired old man came over with a cane, accompanied by the guard at the door. When he saw the Konoha emblem on our forehead protectors, he said hurriedly, "So you are the ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please come in, please come in."

Teacher Jiraiya quickly went over to help him and took out a piece of silver: "We are the ones who disturbed you. Please don't blame us, old man. Can you prepare a room and dinner for us? This silver will be used as our accommodation fee."

The old village chief quickly declined, "Sir, you are joking. The ninjas of Konohagakure have been protecting our Land of Fire from war. How can you charge for a mere dinner?"

"It is our responsibility to protect the peace of the ninja world, and it is also our responsibility to pay for meals. Please don't refuse, old man." Teacher Jiraiya stuffed the silver into the old village chief's hand and motioned for us to follow him into the village.

There are naturally no special hotels or restaurants in such a small mountain village. The old village chief took us to his own home: "The conditions are a bit simple, I hope you ninjas don't mind."

The old village chief was not being modest. Although the house in front of him was better than the thatched houses of some villagers he had just passed by, it was actually not much better. It was also a house made of a mixture of mud and thatch as the main materials. Compared with ordinary villagers, the village chief's house might be the only one with two rooms.

The old village chief took us to one of the houses and said to Jiraiya: "Please wait for a moment, ninja masters. I will ask my wife to prepare dinner for you masters."

After saying that, the old village chief turned to the young guard who had been following him and ordered: "Kouji, tell your grandmother to take out the wild boar that your father killed a few days ago and prepare dinner for the ninja masters."

Jiraiya nodded slightly to the old village chief: "Thank you for your help, old man. We will go in and rest first. Just let us know when dinner is ready."

"Okay, after dinner is ready, I'll let my grandson deliver it to you ninjas." The old village chief agreed with a smile, turned around and went into another room.

Teacher Jiraiya led us into the house. I looked around and saw that the conditions were indeed rather simple. There was only a bed and a set of small tables and chairs. However, as a ninja, I naturally would not attach too much importance to these material things. After all, ninjas often had to sleep in the open air when performing missions. Having a small hut that could shelter from the wind and rain was already a good condition.

"How do you feel about your first mission out?" Teacher Jiraiya came into the room and sat cross-legged on the ground and asked us.

"I've been traveling and practicing all day today, and there's nothing special about it." I'm also busy in Konoha Village. After school at the Ninja School every day, I still have to do various practices in the afternoon and evening, so I don't feel that there's anything special about traveling all day.

"Yunyu's stamina and chakra are too strong. Although my speed may not be worse than Yunyu's, it is a bit difficult to maintain such a fast speed for a whole day. I originally wanted to practice the instant body technique and the Flying Thunder God Technique while on the road, but later I didn't have any extra chakra to use so luxuriously."

Minato had a lot of feelings. To be fair, Minato's physical strength and chakra were not actually weaknesses. After all, he was a physical ninja known for his speed. In the future, he could also develop unmarked ninjutsu such as the Rasengan. It could even be said that Minato's physical strength and chakra exceeded those of most ninjas. Unfortunately, compared with me, there was still a big gap.

Shinichi sat cross-legged on the ground without saying a word, already breathing slightly. After all, as a member of the Uchiha clan famous for ninjutsu and illusion, Shinichi has a certain gap with us in physical skills. If the Uchiha clan did not have enough chakra, it would be hard to say whether Shinichi could hold on.
