Chapter 80: Unlucky Village, Riddled with Red Hair
Asuka looked at this large paragraph of text on the system, and the whole person was directly silent.
Love Brain...
God's special love brain...
If he's not mistaken, the current point in time of the system seems to be the point in time when the Uchiha rebelled, right?
Uchiha Itachi, as Fugaku's good son, took the family up after a while.
Thinking of this, he looked at the task below the system.
[Your counterattack road, because of the appearance of your sister-in-law, may suffer a major setback.
An older brother who is in love will affect your normal life, work, family harmony, and your relationship.
Break your brother's love brain, let him change back to his former self, and continue to be the target of your short-term catch-up. 】
[This mission can be abandoned]
[Task Reward: Deepen the progress of a writing wheel eye-opening, a big meal made by the mother, and a sweet encounter (non-Haruno Sakura version)]
For the system mission, the bird swept away, and his eyes fell on the reward.
He was silent for a moment, then reached out and clicked on the second reward.
Mother's Meal: [The host's mother's own meal can increase the family atmosphere, no matter how conflicting the table is, but when eating this meal, the atmosphere will become extremely harmonious.
Note: Harmony time, disappears automatically after eating. 】
A big meal made by my mother!
Asuka looked at the reward in silence for a moment and spoke.
"Accept!"
As soon as the voice fell, the system shut itself down.
Syllable!
Reaching out to push open the window, he looked out at the clear blue sky, and the expression on his face became neither sad nor happy.
Actually, he was also more interested in that encounter, but unfortunately the system was closed too early.
...
The next day, in the afternoon.
Looking at the teacher who was walking in front of him, humming an unknown song in his mouth, the three of Iruka shook their heads one after another.
I don't know what happened, the teacher has been happy for a day.
Don't share it with them yet.
"Teacher, are we almost there?"
Hearing an inquiry behind him, Asuka surveyed his surroundings, then picked up the map and compared it, reaching out to the small black dot at the end of the road.
"It's almost there."
Seeing that the teacher said that it was almost there, the three of them hurriedly trotted forward a few steps.
Looking at the three little ones that had passed him, Asuka put the map in his pocket and looked at the small black dot at the end.
He had been to these nearby villages twice a few years ago, and there was nothing special.
Decades ago, a group of ordinary homeless people built the village four or five days away from Konoha just to be safe from the bandits.
Unexpectedly, the bandits didn't come, but the traffickers came.
As soon as Asuka and the three of them arrived at the village, he waved his hand and motioned for the three to stop where they were.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Hinata Hanaka saw that Asuka's expression was wrong, and she subconsciously opened her eyes and observed the surroundings.
"It's fine!"
As he spoke, Asuka frowned and walked towards the village.
The village is very deserted.
It was completely different from when he came many years ago, and the vegetation on the ground had increased significantly.
The roads that are often walked in the village do not have so much vegetation at all.
With so much vegetation, it only means that there are fewer traces of human activity and fewer animals farmed.
When he came a few years ago, the village was full of people, but every house had smoke and the houses were very tidy.
But now, the roof has collapsed, the grass grows in the yard, and the gate is missing.
Then.
At the intersection, a few yellow-skinned children saw the four Asuka, especially the ninja forehead guards on their foreheads, and then ran towards the village after being stunned for a moment.
"Ninja, it's a ninja, a ninja is coming."
As soon as the words fell.
The doors of the houses that were still in good condition were opened.
Out of it came out a lot of villagers with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their bodies were empty, like villagers who had not eaten enough for a long time.
They gathered in front of the four of them, looking at them with numb eyes.
At this time, a thin old man suddenly walked over, he observed the forehead protection of Asuka and others, and knelt down directly and cried.
"Konoha ninja-sama, you're here."
As the old man knelt down, the rest of the villagers also knelt down one by one, sobbing continuously.
...
The door of the village chief's house.
Asuka sat on the steps, looked back at the village chief's house with four walls, and then looked at the group of gobbling villagers in front of him, and persuaded.
"Eat slowly, don't eat too much at once, it's easy to break your stomach when the time comes."
Well! Well!
The group of dusty villagers nodded frantically at the birds, but the movements in their hands did not stop at all.
The three of them looked at a villager who was shivering, they smelled the rich strange smell in the air, and the corners of their mouths subconsciously twitched twice.
When a person eats this thing, the strange smell will be neutralized by the air, but when a group of people eat at this time, how can this strange smell not be dispersed?
"Hiccup~"
The village chief was the first to burp, he put down the plastic basin, and his lips were chirping, and his face showed a look of unfinished business.
Thirty thousand taels are not lost.
I didn't expect that the ninja-sama would not only take care of the food... I'm still full...
With so many villagers, 30,000 taels should be returned.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became rosy.
"Thank you, Lord Ninja, we haven't had enough in a long time."
"No thanks."
Asuka waved at the old man.
Theoretically, ninjas are not obligated to protect the villagers.
Whether they can eat enough daimyo or not has a lot to do with it.
If you encounter a kind-hearted ninja, you may give the villagers some food.
When you encounter a general one, you can leave without looking at it.
Encounter the evil... The home is gone...
Seeing that the old man had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, Asuka crossed his chin with his fingers crossed and asked.
"It stands to reason that it's not harvest season, but it's not going to be hungry, right?
And near Konoha, there don't seem to be any bandits, let alone wandering ninjas..."
As soon as these words came out, the old man's face turned bitter, and tears fell down.
"That's right.
Just three years ago, our village was a well-known and wealthy village in the neighborhood, and everyone could eat enough. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain behind him, his eyes full of horror.
"Ever since a group of red-haired monsters appeared in the mountain, the situation has changed."
Red-haired monster??
Asuka frowned.
Where did the red-haired monster come from?
Is there such a thing in the ninja world?
Looking at the frightened look on the faces of the rest of the village, Asuka rubbed his chin and wondered.
"What kind of red-haired monster? The children were also stolen by the monsters? ”
"No!"
The village chief shook his head, then raised two fingers at the bird and cried.
"These are two different things..."
"Oh~"
He nodded, then took out the task scroll in his arms, showed the task on it to the old man, and then spoke.
"Then you talk about stealing children first, since the red-haired monster didn't eat them, that can be slowed down."
Belch!
The village chief was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the serious expression of the ninja in front of him, sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice.
"Our village is actually quite unlucky, first haunted by red-haired monsters, a group of people left, and then inexplicably lost children, and then a group of people left.
As a result, the village now looks very desolate.
It's all to blame on those red-haired monsters, if they hadn't brought bad luck to the village, how could the village, which had been stable for more than forty years, become like this. ”
Uh-huh!
Seeing that the old man mentioned the red feather again, Asuka picked out his ears and made up a reason casually.
"Your village is over forty years old, and the age is not young, and it is normal for the occasional trouble to be unknown, and it is normal to be riddled with red hair."
The old man looked at the bird with a blank expression and muttered.
"Is this normal?"
Asuka nodded, then closed his eyes, leaned against the door frame, and spoke.
"So, let's continue to talk about the loss of the child, and the red-haired monster will be put aside."
"But... But..."
Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Asuka with some hesitation, and his tone was expectant.
"Ninja-sama, I have a feeling that those lost children have something to do with red-haired monsters..."
You're the.
Hearing this, Asuka opened his eyes directly and glared at the old guy in front of him.
How does this old thing keep luring itself to the red-haired monster.
He didn't want to see those red-haired monsters.
It sounds ominous.
At this time.
The air has become a little frozen.
He looked at the village chief's subconscious retreat, the look of horror in his eyes, and the image of the villagers who had gobbled up and had long been numb when he saw the group of villagers before, Asuka sighed and spoke.
"Tell me about the red hair."
