Chapter 71 Refugees

In the twenty years since Konoha, the entire ninja world has inexplicably not started a war with one big country, Konoha.

The other thunder, water, earth, and wind are all at war.

Yuya licked his lips and immediately postponed all plans to make the first batch of shovels, hoes, and sledges from the Fire Nation according to the original plan.

The steel factory will stop for a while and focus on manufacturing kunai, shurikens, shields, katana and other ninja tools.

The Country of Whirlpool and Kirigakure Village are at war, and several other countries are also at war. Isn't this a good time for him to make money? !

Later generations verified that during this period, Konoha made nearly 8 billion taels a year from selling weapons.

This is the price of Konoha for twenty years, and it will be even more after inflation in later generations...

As a result, Konoha Village got its first pot of gold.

……

This is an unnamed mountain range in the Kingdom of Fire.

At this time, in this mountain range, there were a group of figures holding hands, supporting men, women and children, and they were moving forward on the muddy mountain road.

"Wu, Musashi, Xiu, let's take a rest. We are all exhausted..." A middle-aged woman whose clothes were scratched by various vines, stones, and branches on the road said to the leader. The muscular middle-aged man spoke.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and looked at the team behind him. Half of them were already out of breath.

The middle-aged woman said again: "We, aren't we, already in the Land of Fire? They can't possibly send ninjas from Hidden Mist Village to chase us here, right?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and nodded, then sighed and said, "Let everyone rest first..."

The crowd suddenly fell apart one by one. Thanks to the good weather today, otherwise half of the old people in the team would die if it rained.

Umino Musashi, a member of the Umino family. The Umino family used to be a ninja village, but it was exterminated in a war decades ago, and only a few people survived.

Afraid of the war, they turned into civilians incognito, doing odd jobs for other families farming.

Later, the family gradually stabilized in the Kingdom of Sichuan, and then slowly started a business to transport the hot spring cakes from the Kingdom of Sichuan to the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire for sale.

As for the Kingdom of Rain...

The place is too humid and the pancakes get damp easily.

Later, on a business trip, I heard that the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan had reconciled and proposed to jointly create a village.

Umino Musashi's eldest brother Umino Kenjiro thought this was an opportunity and wanted to take his family to this village.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen people in the Umino family, and in the end, only three people agreed to go to the so-called Konoha village together.

Twenty years ago, they thought those people who went to Konoha Village were stupid. What happened to Kawa no Kuni? The hot springs in Kawa no Kuni were very comfortable, the country was not poor, and the daimyo of Kawa no Kuni did not force everyone to eat. If you can't afford food, wouldn't it be better to just stay in the country of Sichuan?

Three years ago, Umino Musashi heard that Konoha, the Country of Fire, was going to be besieged by other countries.

Then a war really broke out.

He was more worried about his elder brother, so he wrote a letter to him, but he didn't expect that the letter would get a reply.

Umino Kenjiro said that he no longer needs to be a ninja and does not have to go to the battlefield, so his life is not in danger.

Later, the letters between the two gradually became closer.

Although it usually takes ten days and a half to receive a reply from the other party, the two of them chatted very enthusiastically.

Umino Musashi was very pessimistic about Konoha's situation. After all, Konoha was jointly attacked by Kumogakure and Iwagakure at that time, and Kirigakure was said to also have plans to attack Konoha.

But Umino Kenjiro was very confident and told him an interesting story about a boy who asked the whole village to donate supplies.

Umino Musashi didn't take it to heart and just expressed his concerns again and again.

As a result, it hasn't happened for a year. On the two maps of Iwagakure and Kirigakure, one is northwest and the other is southeast. Countries so far away have started to attack for some reason. The only one attacking Konoha is the Kumogakure village.

Later, I often heard from tourists who came to Kawa no Kuni hot springs to take a bath. They said that Konoha was so good and awesome, and that the village was so good.

Umino Musashi gradually became curious about Konoha.

He originally wanted to wait for the war to end and go to Konoha to see it. As a result, Sunagakure Village wanted to invade the country of Kawakawa, and the Yunin Village of Kawakuni fought against it. However, the war took place in the country of Kawakawa, and Umino Musashi could only If you can, you can take your people and run away quickly.

It is said that there are only about thirty people in the tribe after twenty years.

Moreover, he himself is thirty-seven years old, and there are four or five elderly people in his family who are over fifty-five years old.

But there are quite a lot of these fifteen or sixteen year olds.

It's also because the children are strong and can help, otherwise these old people would have left the team and died.

The middle-aged woman next to Umino Musashi is his wife.

The daughter of a wealthy businessman in the Kingdom of Sichuan.

It's just that after the war started, her wealthy businessman father was drafted into the family property immediately, and he never came back.

She estimated that her father must have lost his temper, so she led her tribe to follow the team that night.

Later, many people joined in after learning that they were planning to flee to Konoha.

This resulted in the queue being quite long, with the total number of people exceeding a hundred.

After all, Umino Musashi still had some basic knowledge of ninjutsu and could read maps, so he was elected as the captain to lead them through mountains and rivers to the Land of Fire. Basically, they could reach Konoha by walking dozens of kilometers.

During the more than one month journey, many people fell behind, and many elderly people and babies died, but they finally made it through.

"Musashi..." When he sat down to rest, Musashi's wife couldn't help but ask him, "Do you think... Konoha is really that good? And... will they really take us in? Will they give us food? ……residence?"

Umino Musashi took a deep breath and slowly said: "I don't know...but...that is all our hope."

"..."

Silence, they can only be silent.

"whoosh whoosh"

Several sounds broke through the air, and Umino Musashi reacted instantly. He stood up suddenly and took out his weapon.

"despair"

Three figures appeared in front of the team, and they all had forehead protectors with Konoha patterns tied to their foreheads.

"Ninja?" The captain of this team suddenly frowned and looked at the weapon in Umino Musashi's hand.

Umino Musashi also saw the identity of the other party clearly, and quickly threw the kunai on the ground and raised his hands: "Wait! I don't mean any harm! We escaped from Kawanoguni! I heard that Konoha Accept the refugees! If Konoha doesn’t accept them, we can leave! Don’t attack us!”

The three ninjas were stunned at the same time, and then one of them clasped his hands and closed his eyes, as if he was sensing something.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said to the captain with a surprised look on his face: "125 people! There are 101 people who meet the requirements! We have made a fortune, captain!"

Umino Musashi had a question mark on his face.

The captain of this team coughed, and he walked over and held Umino Musashi's hand affectionately: "Ahem, what about that, don't be nervous, we don't mean any harm, we just want to ask...

In your team...

How many people are in their twenties and thirties? "
