In the early morning, Mo Congfeng looked at the seven sleeping children. The fire had gradually gone out. The camping site was chosen at the edge of the woods, not far from the river, so there was no need to worry about firewood and drinking water.

It is now May, the evil month of midsummer. The weather is hot and dry, and people are prone to illness and plague. Mo Congfeng checked the children's injuries. The six children who had minor abrasions were normal, but Dahe, whose left leg was injured by the explosion, had a fever.

Mo Congfeng secretly thought that this was not good. He had practiced internal skills and knew the Internal Classics but not Materia Medica. When he usually traveled around the world, it was enough for him to prepare medicine for wounds. But now, after the shipwreck, he had no medicine left. Once a person has a fever after suffering an external injury, the next step may be infection and suppuration.

I have cleaned the child's wound and applied the external injury powder in the ninja bag, but now it seems that the effect of this external injury powder is much worse than the golden wound medicine in the Central Plains.

Mo Congfeng could only massage Heiji's acupuncture points to relieve his pain. He massaged Quchi, Hegu, Dazhui, and Fengchi points. Perhaps he used too much force and Dahe woke up in pain. Mo Congfeng explained and comforted them, and woke up all the children.

"I will go out to look for food and will be back soon. Lingxia, Ertiao, Saburo, you three boys must learn to protect girls. Achu, Achun, Axia, you help take care of the injured Dahe and pick up some firewood. I will come back and cook something delicious for you." After the massage was over, Mo Congfeng patted the children's heads, then flew up the tree and jumped among the trees.

Mo Congfeng looked up at the sky through the woods, a little worried about the rain. Given the children's current condition, it would not be good if they encountered rain. He wondered if there were any caves on the mountain to take shelter from the rain. Mo Congfeng found some wild fruits in the forest and made a simple basket with branches to put them in.

He only found a few kinds of herbs that Mo Congfeng was familiar with, and picked them. To his surprise, he found two pheasants nesting in a nest with a few pheasant eggs. Mo Congfeng caught them all and thought that this should be enough, so he quickly returned.

Back at the camping site, Mo Congfeng made a simple fire and cooked. He only lamented that there was no salt. He shared the wild fruits with the children, and after the children had filled their stomachs, Mo Congfeng continued to lead the children over the mountains.

"Today's goal is to reach the top of the mountain. We will rest on the top of the mountain at night. Come on, kids!" On the way up the mountain, Mo Congfeng even told the children stories and jokes, trying to divert the children from their sad emotions.

"It is said that in the distant Owari, there was a farmer who looked like a monkey. His name was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He was born as a farmer in the chaotic Warring States Period. At that time, there were 66 small countries and wars often broke out between the small countries. Toyotomi Hideyoshi joined the army and joined the Owari lord Oda Nobunaga. He started as a soldier and made great contributions many times. After Oda Nobunaga's death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became the successor and finally became the king who unified the 66 countries. This story tells us that it is not a shame to be born in a humble family. The son of a farmer can also do great things."

After telling the legendary story about the enemy leader that Mo Congfeng heard in Korea, Mo Congfeng continued to interact with the children, "Have you heard this story? Have you heard of the legendary name Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"

The children looked confused and said they had never heard of the names Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga. They had only heard of the great Ninja God Senju Hashirama, who ended the troubled times and brought lasting peace, and the story of how the Ninja God Senju Hashirama subdued demons, defeated and subdued fox demons, and brought peace to the world.

Mo Congfeng always felt that something was not harmonious after listening to it, but he couldn't explain the feeling. He had a feeling that this was not Japan. The story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi was heard by Mo Congfeng in the military camp. The specific plot may not be consistent with the facts. For example, they may not have been completely unified, but formed a group like the Alliance of Five Nations. However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga should be well-known figures and should be known to everyone.

How could it be all stories about the God of Ninjas, as if he had not come to Japan. However, the language here, the presence of samurai and ninjas, and the latitude he calculated by observing the stars, these three pieces of evidence clearly told him that this was Japan, and even Mo Congfeng was confused.

Crossing the mountain was unexpectedly smooth. At the end of noon or the beginning of noon, Mo Congfeng had already reached the top of the mountain with the children.

After a day of spending time together, Mo Congfeng had gotten along very well with the children. He let the children have a rest while he went into the water to catch fish. He also taught the children how to make a fire and grill fish by themselves.

The children were unable to light a fire for a long time, and Lingxia complained, "Isn't Uncle Momo very powerful? Why doesn't he use ninjutsu to light a fire? Wouldn't it be easy to light the firewood with just a puff of fire escape?"

Mo Congfeng smiled helplessly, "Uncle doesn't know how to do it either. You have to learn to take care of yourself." As he spoke, he stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the ruined village. The village had turned into ashes, and it was much easier to find than yesterday. He didn't hear any sound for a long time, so he turned around and saw that the children had also come to the edge of the cliff, looking at the ashen village.

Mo Congfeng knew that this might be too cruel, but it had already happened and the children had to learn to face it and learn to grow up.

"Uncle has many important things to do, and he absolutely cannot take care of you all the time!" Mo Congfeng took out the captured short blade and a stone, shaved a pile of wood chips, and hit the stone with the knife to demonstrate how to make a fire. Each of the six children had a ninja bag with a short blade in it. Mo Congfeng looked at the short blades and thought that these short blades with the same shape and quality must have a unified name, but he didn't know what it was.

Mo Congfeng saw that some children had learned how to make a fire, so he let them do it themselves, gave them some instructions, and left for the time being. Mo Congfeng jumped down the mountain, wanting to look around to see if he could find a cave, where it would be much safer to rest at night. Although it was not cold in the midsummer night, it was a bit cold to sleep in the wild. It might be okay for one or two days, but the children's bodies would not be able to bear it for a long time. On the way back, he picked some more fruits to supplement the children's nutrition.

After wandering around the mountains for a long time and not finding a cave, Mo Congfeng could only settle for the next best thing and find some fruit to bring back. In the summer, there was no shortage of fruit, and he soon found some wild fruits like dates. Mo Congfeng found some branches and sat on a branch to weave a fruit basket. While he was weaving, several figures jumped through the forest.

Mo Congfeng immediately became alert. Looking at the direction they were heading, it was the top of the mountain. Perhaps the fireworks on the top of the mountain attracted them. Mo Congfeng had no choice but to expose himself. He dropped the fruit basket, jumped up, and followed. A moment later, he was discovered by the ninja in front. One person appeared under the woods, and several people hid in the tree canopy. "Who are you, and why are you following us?"

Mo Congfeng was forced to stop and keep a safe distance. "The man with the hourglass pattern forehead protector, is he in the same group as the group from yesterday? Maybe the two people who escaped yesterday tipped off. Maybe this group of people is here to look for us." Mo Congfeng thought after seeing the other person's appearance clearly.

"I am a wandering warrior from the Iron Kingdom. Now I come to the River Kingdom to travel and visit my friends. I don't intend to follow you. Who are you?" Mo Congfeng said casually.

The ninja on the other side replied, "We are the ninjas from the Sand Village. Not long ago, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire plotted to take over the Land of Rivers. The Konoha ninjas from the Land of Fire invaded the Land of Rivers. We, the Sand Village, could not just sit there and do nothing, so we came to the Land of Rivers to fight against the invasion of the Konoha ninjas.

Now the ninjas of our two countries are facing each other across the river. Not long ago, our intelligence team discovered the traces of the Konoha ninjas. The vicious Konoha ninjas burned down the villages of the River Country, plundered their children, and cruelly trained these children into terrible Anbu ninjas. The great Kazekage learned of all this and ordered us to come and stop it. "

Mo Congfeng didn't believe a word they said and sighed, "Alas, you are too late. Another village has been hit by a disaster. Yesterday I witnessed such a tragedy. All the people in a village died. Ninjas wearing swirl-patterned forehead protectors took away all the children. I wanted to stop them, but my skills were too low and I was no match for them. I was slightly injured and barely managed to escape."

The ninja on the opposite side made an angry expression, "Damned Konoha ninja, Mr. Samurai, are you willing to go back with us, join our Sand Village, fight against the evil Konoha ninja, and do your part to maintain fairness and justice in the ninja world!"

Mo Congfeng refused directly, imitating the tone of the ninja opposite him and said, "I am used to being idle and don't want to be constrained, so I choose to wander around and travel everywhere. Moreover, our samurai skills are low, and our strength cannot be compared with that of the ninja masters. The war many years ago was ended by the great ninja god. The responsibility of maintaining fairness and justice in the ninja world is handed over to you. Let the ninja masters accomplish this mission!"

The ninja changed his way of persuading, "Damn Konoha ninjas, they have forgotten the glorious deeds of the God of Ninjas. The God of Ninjas, Senju, created the Konoha Village and placed high hopes on it, hoping that the Konoha ninjas could lead the ninjas to complete peace. But now they have occupied the most fertile land in the ninja world and are not satisfied. Now they are plotting to take over the land of the River Country. Now they are unscrupulous in their pursuit of evil power, and have plundered a large number of children for evil experiments and evil training.

Mr. Samurai, our great Kazekage is about to convene the Five Kage Conference to denounce the cruel acts of the Konoha Ninja. As a witness to the cruel acts of the Konoha Ninja, are you willing to go back with us and serve as a witness to accuse the Konoha Ninja in the future Five Kage Conference? "

Mo Congfeng estimated that the two people who escaped yesterday tipped off and reported his situation. This group of ninjas tried every means to trick him back to their camp and deal with him at the lowest cost. "I still have to visit my friends in the River Country. I don't have extra time for the time being. Please let me do my own thing first. After I finish my own thing, if there is a chance, I am still willing to accuse the Konoha ninjas in the future Five Kage Summit and state everything I saw and heard."

The ninja made a regretful expression, "Well, Mr. Samurai, we have to continue rushing to the scene to see it with our own eyes, and then report to the great Kazekage. By the way, we will search for survivors. If there are surviving children, they may not be able to survive with their homes destroyed. If we find surviving children, we will send them back to the Sand Village to live, so that they can stay away from war for the rest of their lives and not be persecuted by the hateful Konoha ninjas." After saying that, he looked towards the top of the mountain.

Mo Congfeng felt greatly provoked. They must have discovered the smoke from the children's cooking fire. A fight was inevitable.

But Mo Congfeng didn't want to start a fight under the current circumstances. He didn't know the exact number and location of the enemy, so he had to find a way to find out the specific situation of the enemy. "Okay, then I'll go with you. If there are any surviving children, one more person to help search, the children will have more hope of being rescued!" He approached the ninja in the open, "Master Ninja, let's go."

The ninja was stunned for a moment, "Okay, you must follow me!" After that, he jumped up and jumped onto the treetop, running forward in a strange posture. Mo Congfeng followed immediately, and then the other ninjas also left their hiding places, followed, and surrounded Mo Congfeng in the center.

Their speed was average, not very fast, but Mo Congfeng followed them effortlessly. Every step the ninjas took on the trees was heavy, and it was obvious that they had never practiced light-body kung fu. Mo Congfeng gained some confidence in the upcoming battle.

Mo Congfeng counted them with his peripheral vision. There were four people in total. Could four people be the standard team configuration for ninjas? Mo Congfeng was very curious.

Mo Congfeng pretended to be struggling, secretly adjusted his speed, and pretended to be reluctant to stagger to the left and right, approaching the two people on the left and right, but attracted a few sneers from the two people on the left and right. They were all adults, without the childish faces of the ninjas yesterday. This was an elite team, not easy to deal with. Mo Congfeng's mind couldn't help but sink.

The team was moving very fast and were about to reach the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye. They could not delay any longer and had to act immediately. Mo Congfeng cried out "Ouch!" and seemed to have lost his balance. He suddenly slowed down and crashed into the last person in the encirclement, while taking out a short blade and stabbing backwards.

He was stabbed, but not in the soft abdomen, but in the hard arm. Mo Congfeng turned around quickly in the air and saw a pair of angry eyes. The man grabbed his two arms and pulled them down, stepped on his chest, and used the move of falling eagle. He quickly fell from the tree to the ground. With a bang, both of them fell to the ground at the same time. The man was affected by the huge force and bleeding from his mouth and nose instantly.

"Heitaro!" An angry roar suddenly came from the upper front. The remaining three people each occupied the treetops, and rained down shurikens and flying needles on Mo Congfeng's head. Mo Congfeng hurriedly dodged and avoided most of the shurikens and flying needles. There were still a few flying needles attacking Mo Congfeng's face. Mo Congfeng waved his arm to block them, and three cow-hair-like flying needles pierced his forearm.

A tingling sensation came from the wound. The flying needle was poisonous, so Mo Congfeng retreated quickly and hid behind a tree.
