Demon Lord Uchiha

Approaching this small village, Shingen saw from a distance a peasant woman working hard under the scorching sun on a flat field. Not far from her, a young boy was carrying a sleeping child on his back and helping him. Mother pulled out some scattered weeds.Seeing the mother and son supporting each other made Shingen feel a little emotional.

However, Shingen did not go up to help, but split up with Naoki and the others to search for traces of wandering ninjas.Because the area here is not very large, after two or three hours, Shingen and the others roughly searched the entire mountain village.When the two said that there were no traces of wandering ninjas here, Shingen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best situation. He didn't want to start a fight in such a quiet place.

But to be cautious, Shingen decided to ask the villagers here for information.After falling lightly from a big tree, Shingen and the other two strolled to the place where the peasant woman was resting, and asked with a smile on their faces: "Hello, I am a ninja from Konoha. Have you ever seen anyone dressed similarly to us?" personnel."

Seeing the way Shinxuan and the others appeared quietly, the peasant woman subconsciously blocked the two children behind her. When she heard Shinxuan's question, she replied tremblingly: "I haven't seen it before. People here rarely go out. If it's you If you want to know more information, you should go to the village chief, he is in the biggest house in the village."

Seeing the vigilant movements of the peasant woman, Shinxuan thought to himself that it seemed that this place was not isolated from the world. This conclusion could be drawn from their vigilance towards outsiders.Shingen said with a polite smile: "Thank you so much. Then we won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."

It wasn't until the figures of Shingen and others disappeared from her eyes that the peasant woman turned back to look at the child who stretched her neck behind her to watch the ninja leave.Seeing her son's curious look, the peasant woman warned: "Don't look any further. They are all very dangerous people. If you see anyone dressed like this in the future, stay away."

Hearing his mother's words, the little boy asked with some confusion: "Why, they look so kind."

Hearing her son's question, the peasant woman rolled her eyes at the child and said in a serious tone: "Ninjas hide in the darkness and use the most powerful perseverance and the hardest efforts in the world to do the most secretive and cruel things. People must not have anything to do with them, they are the most powerful killers in the world."

Although he did not understand the meaning of his mother's words, the child felt his mother's fear and uneasiness from her serious tone. He nodded his head and said in a sweet voice: "I understand."

Seeing her son's obedient appearance, the peasant woman held her son in her arms lovingly and murmured, "I just hope you can grow up safely."

After receiving the guidance from the peasant woman, Shingen and the other three set off towards the goal in a leisurely manner. After all, the way they appeared just now was really inappropriate and could easily arouse others' vigilance.Because the village itself was not big, they quickly arrived at the village chief's residence. After explaining their purpose, they were received respectfully by everyone.

After a while, Shingen met the village chief of this secret place.Looking at the old man who was sweating profusely and panting, Shingen said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for bothering you, but for the sake of the mission, we still want to get some information from you."

The old man quickly waved his hand and said with a respectful expression: "No, I always tell you everything when facing distinguished guests."

Although the image of ninjas in the eyes of ordinary people is very poor, Konoha's ninjas still have a good reputation in the ninja world. After all, as representatives of great powers, Konoha ninjas still pay great attention to their own image.If it were another unknown ninja village or wandering ninja, the old man would not be speaking respectfully on the side, but would be hiding in the corner and shivering.

Later, Shingen asked the old man about the traces of wandering ninjas and warned them.Whether it was out of business or sympathy, Shingen did not want such a peaceful and quiet village to be robbed and destroyed by wandering ninjas.

The old man pondered for a moment and said with a heavy face: "It is inevitable that this place is located in the country of Sichuan. The transportation is not developed. Very few outsiders arrive here, so we have not found any traces of wandering ninjas. However, some villagers will trade with the outside world. , I will go immediately to ask them what they know, please wait a moment."

Seeing the old man's cooperative attitude, Shingen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he would not be soft on ninjas, he really didn't like to use violence to solve problems with these unarmed ordinary people.Seeing the old man leaving, Shinxuan came to the yard outside the house, sat on the roots of a tree that had been exposed for an unknown number of years, and looked at the scenery here.

Marina came to Shingen's side and asked in a curious tone: "What are you doing here? I feel like you have been in a strange state since we arrived in this secluded mountain village."

Shingen looked at the children playing in the distance and responded: "Ah, I was just thinking that the world would be a better place without ninjas."

Before Marina could speak, Naoki rushed over and shouted, "What are you talking about?"

Shingen withdrew his gaze, looked directly into Naoki's eyes and said: "Don't you think that ninjas are the source of cholera in this world? People in this world share the same language and writing, and there are no racial barriers or religious opposition. Although some places are very It is barren, but the Fire Country has many vast and dense forests, and there is no limit to land resources at all.”

"Then why is there still a war? Because of the greed of ninjas and because ninjas from various countries want to obtain more resources. This protracted war has nothing to do with ordinary people. They are just involved in this war. Victims, the result of war is just a change of rulers, they are still repeating the past, only retaining the pain of war."

Naoki was speechless by Shingen's words. Of course, this was not because he agreed, but because Naoki had never considered such a thing.He looked at Shingen with some excitement, but he didn't know how to refute it. For a ten-year-old child, such things were beyond his cognition.

Just when the atmosphere fell into a strange embarrassment, the old man appeared at the right time to break everyone's predicament. He came to the three of them and said with a worried look: "According to the young people who went out to buy, the surrounding area has not been peaceful recently. , many villages have been extorted by wandering ninjas, and some places have even been robbed by them."

When Shingen heard this, he summed up hastily: "So that's it. It seems that our intelligence is correct. I don't know how far away the village that was extorted and robbed is from here. We need more detailed information before we can make a judgment. I guess You don’t want these guys to wander around anymore.”
