"Yes! We are Konoha's ninjas. We have no malice. We just happened to pass here." Hinata Yunzhi also shouted.

"Has I learned Mandarin classes in vain?" Looking at the behavior of these two guys, Ai shook her head. Obviously, Ai was not very satisfied with their performance.

"Shuomao, it seems that they have forgotten how they have brought closer relationships with strangers to get information. Come and demonstrate!" Ai said to Shuomao.

"Okay, teacher." Shuomo nodded and shouted to the surrounding Mingju: "Is the head of this village here? We are ninjas from Konoha Ninja Village. Because we pass by here, we want to add some supplies to you. Don't worry! If we have bad intentions, we would have done it before."

Afterwards, after a while of silence, the door of a room opened. Then, a white old man walked out with a cane.

"You... Hello..." the old man said nervously, "I am the village chief of this village. Do you need any help?"

"Hello, village chief!" Looking at the white old man in front of him, Ai lowered his head and bowed slightly to show politeness. Generally speaking, polite actions can make people feel good and let go of their guards. Of course, this action cannot be too artificial.

Afterwards, looking at the actions of Love, the only adult, the village chief's expression calmed down a little. The polite person would not have a bad personality, and the village chief thought so in his heart.

"It's already dark today, and my students and I don't want to continue rushing. So, I want to disturb the village chief. Do you want to worry? Don't worry! We won't live in vain, we can provide compensation."

"Reward!" The old man's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words of love. Then he looked at the four of them.

A woman, a little girl, and two little boys, looks nothing dangerous...

In this day, because the number of ninjas has not reached a certain level, so in the eyes of civilians, ninjas are a powerful individual who can use ninjas. Of course, you have to ask them, what is ninjas? They can't answer, they only know that the power of ninjas is ninjas.

Perhaps it was because of the deceptive appearance that the village chief accepted the proposal of love. After that, he did not arrange them anywhere, and the village chief led them back to his home.

More than thirty years have passed since the industrial revolution of the Kingdom of Fire under the promotion of Meiji, but look at it here. Obviously, perhaps because the geographical location is too remote, the village still retains the strong style of an agricultural society.

There are gaps between people, and most of the time it is because of lack of communication between people. As the sky gradually darkened, the four of them talked to the village chief's family for a while, they gradually became familiar with each other.

It is now the end of July, and this area has a temperate climate. So, it is a place with four seasons. However, because this place is close to the mountains, the enthusiasm for summer is much offset.

Every night, it always cools down quickly. Unlike Kyoto, it only cools down after ten o'clock in summer.

There is no nightlife in the countryside. When it gets dark, farmers will go to bed. Because of the reception of guests, today's village chief's family lit candles to entertain and love them.

"Village Chief, there should be someone else in your family!" Looking at a hunting bow hanging on the wall, I thought it was impossible for an old man to pull and move. Judging from the traces of the use of the bow, this bow has been used by someone recently.

"Yes! I have two sons!" The village chief took out a wooden homemade pipe and smoked the cigarette.

"The eldest son is married, but the second son is not yet. As for the grandson, one is still sipping, and the other is about the same age as your students." Here, Ai obviously noticed that the village chief was in a bad mood when talking about his son. However, when talking about his grandson, he felt better again.

"Where are your sons? You won't sleep anymore, are you?" Ai asked tentatively.

"Oh~~" sighed, and the village elder shook his head and said, "Our place! It was originally a good place. But recently, I don't know that a group of robbers came there. They occupied the hilltop in the west and said that we wanted us to pay tribute to them. What else would you say, kill us if you don't give it."

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head and said, "Now! The young people in the village are patrolling the west side of the village!"

"Is the village chief trying to fight head-on?" Ai asked.

"Of course, like those robbers, they are not big in size. So, you can't spoil them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a good life here. Although we are just some mountain people, we have never fought the generals (tigers) in the mountains!" Here, the old man spoke very hard. Obviously, he should have been a very powerful character when he was young. However, after all, he is old. Although the old man speaks hard, his face is full of worries.

"Is this true?" Ai smiled faintly. Afterwards, she stood up and said to the three students beside her: "Shuomao, Yunzhi, Dai, you three will go to the west mountain to investigate tomorrow. Remember, don't attract their attention, just eavesdrop on their conversation in the dark first."

"Teacher, don't you take action directly?" Shuomao asked in confusion as he listened to Love's request. However, Love did not continue to talk about this, but shook his head with a smile.

"Go to rest early!" Under the dim candlelight, Love's side looked a little blurred. After that, there was no delay, Love turned around and walked towards the room arranged by the village chief.

No words all night...

The next day, with the hazy light in the morning and the loud crowing sound of the roosters, the village began to slowly come alive. On this side, she sat on the roof of the village chief’s house and watched the sun rise slowly.

At this time, she was holding an octagonal chess-sized stone in her hand and muttering something to herself. If she got closer, she could probably hear some sealing techniques, curse techniques, etc.

Compared to yesterday, after spending a night at the village chief’s house, there was much less invisible gap between them and the villagers.

The village chief’s family is also a big family. In addition to the village chief’s husband and wife, there are also four elder sons and one younger son, a total of seven.

Because of the day when they were together, the village chief’s family was not so wary of loving them. After that, as the sky gradually became brighter, loving also met the village chief’s wife and his eldest daughter-in-law. Of course, the grandson he said, who was about the same age as Shuomao and the others, was also there.
