Konoha: Naruto From a Wolf

Chapter 34 The way of life in Ninja Village

Boom!

In the entrance hall, Shikamaru had just placed his shoes, and the light behind him was blocked by a broad shoulder.

"Come back?" Nara Shikaku asked softly.

"Well, I'm back."

"If you have doubts in your heart, you might as well speak up. It is also your duty as a father to resolve your doubts." Shikaku Nara stepped aside to get out of the way.

Shikamaru paused, and after a moment, he asked: "Dad, can you play chess with me?"

"Okay." Nara Shikaku nodded slightly.

In the courtyard, father and son sat opposite each other across the chessboard.

Shikamaru played the chess game first, "Dad, who is Naruto?"

The reason why he met Naruto that cold winter was actually because his father left him there.

I used to think it was fate, but now when I look back and reflect on it, I'm full of doubts.

"He is the child of the Fourth Hokage. He is a hero. He used his body to carry the Nine-Tails that brought trouble to Konoha. It's just that this fact was distorted by some thoughtful people." Nara Shikaku explained the reason for everything.

"...Really." Shikamaru nodded, but it could be seen from his slightly trembling arms that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"It's quite ironic."

"It is indeed ironic, but this is politics." Nara Shikaku turned his head to look at the ancient pine trees in the courtyard and sighed slightly.

"Where is the legacy of the Fourth Hokage? Naruto's living conditions and wealth are completely inferior to those?" Shikamaru asked, thinking about Naruto who needed to go out to look for food from time to time.

He didn't believe that the legacy of a dignified Hokage could not support the life of a child.

"The Fourth Hokage's residence was taken back by the village on the grounds that the jinchuriki's identity could not be revealed. Later, it was awarded to Sarutobi Shinnosuke who had made great contributions."

"The property of the fourth-generation couple was used to make up for the deficit that year under the advice of the transfer consultant."

Shikamaru held the chess piece in his hand and couldn't put it down for a long time. He suddenly discovered that something seemed to be wrong with his beloved Konoha.

…

call!

A strong wind blew by.

Yellow sand rose up all over the sky, as if the entire sky was covered.

"The dust in the Kingdom of Wind is still as big as ever!" An old man with a goatee in the middle of the caravan said with a smile.

"Does Mr. He Yan often walk this road?" Naruto asked curiously. His head was wrapped in white cloth, only a pair of eyes exposed.

This is the survival wisdom of the people in the Kingdom of Wind. White cloth is wrapped around the head, which can not only resist the harsh sunlight, but also effectively resist the invasion of wind and sand.

"I only come here once every two or three years." He Yan touched his beard, "But our family has been doing business for generations, and I have walked this road five or six times."

"The old man must have been to many places, right?" Naruto asked. It was a coincidence that he joined this caravan.

Originally, he planned to travel alone and head towards Sunagakure Village.

But they happened to meet Mr. He Yan's caravan. By chance, the two parties chatted for a few words. They had similar interests and the same destination, so they went together.

"Except for the country of water, which is separated by an ocean, I have been to all the five major countries." He Yan smiled proudly.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Naruto asked quickly.

"Of course." He Yan laughed, sharing his glorious past is something that every old man is extremely passionate about.

"Among the five major countries, the climate and topography of the Kingdom of Wind and Earth are very similar; the climate of the Kingdom of Fire is the most pleasant; the landform of the Kingdom of Thunder is the most unique, especially the Cloud Hidden Village, which is built on a cliff.

superior……"

When talking about his past, He Yan seemed to have opened up a chat box, telling stories one after another.

When he was young, he was attracted by a woman from the Kingdom of Thunder, and was almost kidnapped back home to be his son-in-law; when he was doing business in the Kingdom of Earth, he was held on the neck by a local wandering samurai; the wonderful hot spring trip in the Kingdom of Yu...

…

Naruto listened and nodded from time to time, which gave the old man the motivation to continue speaking.

At the same time, he also secretly remembered these places mentioned by the old man in his heart, so that he could visit them if he had the opportunity.

Just as the two were chatting, a young man ran over riding an ostrich as big as two people.

"Grandpa, there is a group of wandering ninjas making trouble in front of us," the young man said.

"Trouble? Where are the hired ninjas?" He Yan raised an eyebrow. He was doing business all year round, and it was inevitable to encounter robbers, so hiring ninjas to protect the goods became a necessary expense for the caravan.

"Those Sunagakure are negotiating with those wandering ninjas." The young man said helplessly.

"..." He Yan frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only sigh helplessly.

Both Sunagakure and wandering ninjas are all about money. If they can earn the money in a friendly manner, no one will be willing to fight to the death.

After a long time, the truck at the front moved slowly.

Apparently Sunagakure had an agreement with those wandering ninjas.

Naruto looked at Sunagakure who had returned to the convoy and shook his head secretly. As a ninja, he naturally understood the twists and turns involved.

Dealing with these wandering ninjas is not a problem at all for Sunagakure Village.

But what about after the solution?

But even Sunagakure Village, one of the five great ninja villages, still needs to eat. With so many people under its command, how can it be possible to survive only on the small amount of military funds allocated by the daimyo.

A stable workload is the foundation for the existence of a ninja village.

If Sunagakure Village, or other ninja villages, wiped out these wandering ninjas who relied on robbing their homes to survive, who would hire ninjas from the ninja villages to protect themselves?

But the Ninja Village is a country's military force after all, and it is not the same thing to allow these people to wreak havoc.

Therefore, how to keep the gangsters in the country within a reasonable range is a required course for every ninja village.

Even, in order to ensure the workload of the year, some ninja villages will deliberately allow the emergence of wandering ninjas.

Although the behavior is shameful, it is an unspoken and unspoken rule in every ninja village.

"Ninjas are really hateful existences..." He Yan muttered in a low voice.

Having been in business all his life, he naturally understood the twists and turns of Ninja Village, but it was precisely because of his understanding that he felt helpless.

"The ninjas in the five major ninja villages are okay. As long as you hire them, there will basically be no problems. The small ninja villages are different. Even if you hire them, they will unite with the wandering ninjas to exploit you.

The euphemistic saying is: To avoid suffering greater losses, just give them some money...disgusting!"

As if he thought he might not understand, He Yan explained in a low voice.

Naruto was stunned, he really didn't know this.

"It's true, you're a bitch and you still build a memorial arch."

After thinking about it for a while, He Yan understood what he wanted to express and nodded in agreement.

"That's it."

"Old man, don't you think you have some ninja beasts in captivity?" Naruto asked.

In his perception, the mounts in this caravan more or less have some chakra, and they are all capable of becoming combat units.

"They are just the last guarantee." He Yan shook his head, "If you don't hire these ninjas, you will encounter more than just this group of wandering ninjas."

"For safety's sake, it's better to spend some money to hire ninjas."

"Really." Naruto nodded slightly, "Old man, how long does it take to reach Sunagakure?"

He Yan estimated the distance and said, "We should be able to arrive tomorrow."
