Konoha in the early morning, the first person to be awakened by such a movement was a ninja, but it was not only a ninja who was woken up next.

An ordinary house.

The hostess, who had already woken up and was busy, was comforting the child who had been awakened by a loud explosion in the distance...... She seems to be just an ordinary person, but in the face of this shock, she did not panic at all, and even when she heard the explosion, she chose to extinguish all the lights in the house as soon as possible.

"Mom's ......"

A child, who was only seven or eight years old, seemed a little frightened at this time, but she was very quiet and did not cry in alarm.

"Don't be afraid, Mommy is here."

The hostess held the child in her arms, and quickly turned into a room on the left, the darkness could not block her vision at all, she bent down slightly, and accurately touched the hidden button on the floor, and then pulled one arm gently, with the sound of squeaking, she saw a secret door opened by her.

After walking down the narrow staircase for about twenty meters, she came to a narrow basement...... This space is certainly not for storage, and normal people would never dig the basement so deep.

It is not a question of convenience or inconvenience, but first of all, it is a question of the amount of work...... At this depth, if you dig again, you may dig into the underground base of the dark part.

After hiding the child, the hostess lit the candle in the basement, and then she gently touched the child's hair, and then said, "Hotaru, don't be afraid, you hide here, don't make a sound...... Mom was going to be away for a while, and Dad was still out for work, so I had to pick him up. ”

The little girl sat on a small bed in the basement and whispered, "Mom, Hotaru won't be afraid, but ...... Just for a while? ”

Apparently, she had begun to carry out the "keep silent" order, and it was obvious that she was scared now, but she had always been a sensible child.

The hostess smiled, and then said, "Well, for a while, my mother has always been a good talker...... Although something unfortunate happened outside, today's weather is a good omen for Mom, and Mom will not be hurt in such a gentle rain. ”

The hostess comforted the child a little, then quickly turned and left through the underground passage. After returning to the ground, she closed the secret door again, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with the exhaust system underneath, she quickly went to another room.

I saw that she casually took a long rope and quickly tied up the sleeves of the loose clothes at home, so that her movements would not be disturbed by the clothes; As she passed by the kitchen, she took the two fruit knives from the kitchen counter, and after skillfully flipping a few knife flowers, she hid the fruit knives behind her.

Arriving in another room, she found a long wooden box about 1.5 meters long and 50 centimeters wide from the bottom of a cabinet.

She didn't have time to sort out the contents of the box, so she began to walk outside the house with the wooden box...... It is the karma of those who are determined to lay down their arms to take up arms again.

However, when the hostess opened the door, she found that there was a person outside the door who kept the door open...... Obviously, if the hostess was one step late, he would have opened the door.

"You're going out?"

Outside was the male owner who got up early and went out to work, and after seeing the "fully armed" hostess, he was also stunned for a moment.

"Chengchuan, you're back."

The hostess secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately reached out and pulled the other into the house, and then closed the door.

Kashima Narikawa, this is the name of the host.

"Where's Hotaru-chan?"

"I've hidden it underneath."

Now that Kashima has returned, there is no need for her to go out.

"What's going on outside, is it a small-scale incident?"

"It's not a small scale, actually, I almost can't come back...... On the way, I met the people who started the riot. ”

"Then you ......"

"I'm fine, you know?" Speaking of this, Kashima seemed to be slightly excited, "I met the adult you have been talking about, he stopped the enemy and saved me...... I seem to understand why Yaginagi likes that adult so much. ”

Apparently, Kashima's experience surprised the hostess, but then she smiled...... In any case, it is important that he can return home safely.

"That was when I was younger, and it was more about respecting and adoring than liking...... For ordinary people, 'heroes' are things that exist in stories and imaginations, and they are imaginary concepts like ethereal ghosts and gods, but for me, heroes are characters born in close proximity as far as the eye can see.

I felt that I was protected and would always be protected, so I laid down my weapon.

It is because of these that I am now able to live my life as 'Kashima Yaginagi'. ”

Yes, "Chisen and Yaginagi" have been a long, long time ago, and the ninja's experience is just one experience in her long life.

It's important, but it's also short-lived.

"Let's go see Hotaru, that kid should be scared right now."

"Okay."

The movement outside was even louder, but it seemed to be a "farce" that had nothing to do with the family's life.

…………

If Hanyu knew that someone was putting the name of "hero" and the expectation of maintaining their peaceful life on him, he would not hesitate to scold the street.

Your sister, even if she is a hero, you will treat me as a tool...... Well, it seems that no matter what world or what situation the hero is, he is indeed a tool man.

Go back a little bit.

Hanyu left his home and prepared to head straight to the Shadowstream base, but a short time after he started his move, someone stopped him in the middle.

It's a rope tree.

Frankly, this kind of encounter was something Hanyu had never expected, and it seemed a little reversed...... In the midst of this chaos, even if it is indeed hostile, the situation should be that Hanyu is looking for the rope tree, not the other way around.

Forehead...... Oh...... Well...... Incomprehensible anyway.

Rope seemed to regard this encounter as some kind of "peak duel", but not only did Hanyu, who was an opponent, not feel this way, but the third person present also destroyed this solemn feeling.

A man with a horse in his hand, with a cart on the back of the horse, and a cart of flowers on it.

On the one hand, the "battle of fate" is brewing, and on the other side, there is a huge sense of life, and the contrast and impact of this picture are ...... To be honest, it's not very easy to describe.

In Hanyu's opinion, the man leading the horse is still relatively sensible, and he did not act rashly at this moment of slaughter...... Or he couldn't be sure if he would be attacked by the ninjas immediately if he advanced or retreated at this time, so he chose to remain silent.

In desperation, Hanyu didn't even pay attention to the rope tree at the first time, so he could only stretch out his hand to the man first and make a gesture of please:

There may be a dog brain here later, but until then, feel free.

This is a battle between ninjas, and even if it is a rope tree, there is certainly no reason to involve an ordinary person passing by in the battle.

"That...... Hanyu-sama, my horses, carts, and flower ......"

At this time, the other party didn't seem to be sure whether his property could be kept when he was "spared".

This reaction ......

Hanyu could only lie in the groove in the dark and give his thumb up...... Can I still rob your stuff?

"Carry it away, carry it away, you are a real cow, and you still care about these at this time."

I don't know if this person is a little stupid or very bold, normal people must have fled long ago when they encounter such a time...... The kind that people run faster than horses.

As for being recognized by the other party, Hanyu didn't think there was any problem, and some of the Konoha civilians definitely knew him.

After getting Hanyu's permission, the man even bowed to Hanyu before leading his horse away unhurriedly...... This horse was still pregnant before and is still in "confinement", so he can't exercise vigorously, otherwise it will hurt his body.

So Hanyu really took it this time.

He probably won't know the fact that he actually has the slightest connection with the other party in his life.

Of course, he didn't need to know.
