1 Old-fashioned but very effective beginning
The scorching sun scorched the earth, and even lush plants chose to curl their leaves at this moment to block the release of water.
But it was in such weather that a thin boy was struggling along the dirt road like the bottom of a red cauldron, his chapped lips fully indicating that his source of life was close to withering, and his silver hair was withered and messy like weeds, his steps slowly staggered, and his head slowly lowered.
Thump......
After a burst of dust, the body that collapsed at the intersection never got up again......
Dada, dada, dada......
The rhythmic sound of horses' hooves also seemed a little weak in the hot temperature, but they were still walking.
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch......
The sour bearings seem to be due to a lack of grease lubrication, or the load they are carrying is too heavy...... In short, this kind of sound that makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies when they listen to it, from far and near, happens to also appear at this road crossing.
"Hey, there's a ...... on the ground," the muffled muttering came from the stout man sitting in the "driver's seat" of the carriage, and a white scarf was tied to his head, which not only blocked some sunlight but also acted as a sweat towel.
Under the control of his thick arms, the carriage stopped precisely next to the "corpse". The remaining hand fished directly at the boy lying on the ground.
At this moment, a strange white shadow suddenly appeared, and after a slight pause, it directly drilled into the young man's body.
But from the strong man's unchanged expression, it seemed that this slightly supernatural event did not attract his attention at all, or that he did not see anything strange at all.
"Oh, because your body is too weak, did you faint?"
Just when the hand that felt the pulse on the young man's neck was about to give up, the faint vibration that had not been seen for a long time came later, and the strong man also breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a kind guy.
"Atong, feed him some water. Remember, don't give him anything to eat even when he's awake, it's too weak to digest the damn dry food! โ
The young man gently placed the boy under the sunshade that the carriage had simply built, and the strong man carefully advised.
Only at this time, a small face full of vigilance appeared in the shadow of the shed: "Father, could this be a bad guy like a bandit?" โ
"Probably not...... "In this world, this is not a peaceful and prosperous world, and the strong man is proud of his children's education at the same time, but also a little helpless. It's a very good thing for a girl to be wary of strangers, but she loses her basic judgment and seems to be overkill, "Bandits probably won't be so desperate......"
"You see, this little guy's arm is not as thick as our family's Atong, so don't worry, haha!"
The unscrupulous father teased his daughter......
"Father!" The girl sat on her knees, glared at her father fiercely, and then bowed properly, took out her water bladder, and carefully moistened the young man's mouth.
"The village is in front of him, and judging by his appearance, it is likely to be someone from the village, even if it is not, if we bring him there, someone will naturally handle it properly." The strong man muttered quietly, as if he was explaining something to the girl, and as if he were some kind of self-comforting. Looking at the relief mountain with a few human faces standing from afar, his hanging heart can always be let go a little.
And the seemingly unconscious young man, under the moisture of the clear water, the little finger of his right hand moved slightly, but because the movement was too subtle, no one noticed.
But under this calm body, the young man's spirit set off a monstrous wave.
A helpless soul screamed but received no response, and he tried to control the body, but only the tiniest peripheral nerve twitched.
As at the beginning of all stories, this is a soul from the name Earth, but unfortunately placed in a reluctant position. But at the same time, he was lucky, after wasting his life in the original world, God gave him another chance.
Although there were not many options for the new life, and even a weakened and dying shell could only be picked up, the soul was successfully preserved.
Although it is temporarily unable to fully control the new body, the soul that has regained consciousness can use its ears to feel what is happening around it.
In about an hour, the bumpy journey had reached the end.
"Stop!"
In front of a door that was too big to speak, a figure in a green waistcoat stopped the carriage.
"This lord, I am a merchant from the north," the strong man said with a smile on his face, and as he handed over the passage permit he had already preparedโit was a beautifully bound book sticker, with the two large characters "Pass" written in ink on the front, and in the corner, there was a small column of "Awarded in January of the Forty-seventh Year of Konoha", and on the back, there was a family crest of a fan.
"Most of the adults in the Uchiha family know me."
In fact, the strong man was also suspicious, after all, he did not do business in this famous village for a day or two, and he had to come to the village almost once a month, and by the way, he would bring one or two luxury goods that were popular in the national capital for those high-ranking families. Therefore, it can be regarded as a bit of friendship with the big family responsible for the security of the village. Even this pass was given by an extraordinary Uchiha-sama!
It's just that when I came over today, I didn't even have a familiar face, which couldn't help but make the strong man have a little bad premonition.
"Uchiha?" This guy took the ultimatum and glanced at it casually, and repeated in a slightly playful voice, "The people of the Uchiha family, I'm afraid they won't be able to come today." However, your ultimatum is fine, and you can still do business in Konoha after we verify your identity and goods. โ
Uchiha? Konoha?
After colliding with the soul inherent in the body, the guy from the other world inherited some information that was about to dissipate. Language is a very important part of this. And his surname should be Hidaka, and his young name is Sakichi. As for the other broken memories, they were like slides scattered on the computer, and he hadn't had time to look through them one by one.
Of course, none of these things seemed to matter for a while, as he seemed to have heard something unusual, such as the surname Uchiha, and could explain it by traveling to a neon-like country by himself. But in the case of Konoha and Uchiha appearing together, there seems to be only one explanation.
This is the world of Naruto!
The sudden strong mental fluctuations did not make the extremely weak body stand up, and the "typhoon" that intensified in his heart naturally could not blow a few people close at hand.
The conversation between the strong man and the guy who was suspected of being a ninja continued: "Of course, please check it carefully." โ
In fact, before the owner of the goods could agree, another ninja from Konoha had already done so, and the person who lifted the curtain naturally asked after seeing the two petite bodies: "These are all your children?" โ
"Ah, I almost forgot to tell the two adults, it was the little girl who was sitting," after a pause, the strong man organized his words, "As for this young man, I picked it up on the road not far from the village, probably because of hunger or lack of water, fainted, and needed treatment...... Because he looks like a ninja dressed like him, the little one is good at making assertions and brings Konoha with him. โ
In other words, although this little ghost is extremely weak and the clothes on his body are also covered with patches, he wears a beautifully made headband on his head, which perfectly covers his forehead and cheeks, like the second generation of Hokage Rock, but it lacks the mark of the family or the ninja village.
The "Strange Imp ......" can play the role of a doorman, at least in terms of perception, it is slightly higher than that of ordinary ninjas, shouldering the heavy responsibility of security checks, this ninja will naturally not relax at the mental level. However, he didn't feel any chakra reaction from the few people in the carriage, so the preliminary judgment was that there should be no threat. What's more, the ultimatum issued by the Uchiha did not look like it was fraudulent at all, and it was completely consistent with the information recorded by the Konoha Garrison.
Only this wild boy who I don't know where to pick it up, dressed in shoddy clothes like a beggar, and a malnourished, beggar-like skin, but with such a beautiful headdress, is quite strange, if it has reached the point of exhaustion, this thing as a meal, is the right choice.
Thinking of this, the ninja couldn't help but flick this headdress with a very bad taste, and the deep metallic sound instantly spread to the depths of the village.
If it was on weekdays, maybe this carload of goods would have been delivered to the high-ranking families in Konoha, but now, it's not an ordinary day.
