I sell sweets in Konoha

"This..." Junko looked up at the sky, then spread her hands and said, "There is no obvious reference, and I don't know where we are."

Junko might not be able to tell what kind of place this kind of wild land is.

"Let's ask someone..." Tomoko was about to say, go find someone and ask for directions.But she suddenly remembered why she felt something was wrong and said, "Let me tell you, have you ever felt that this ninja world seems a bit...a bit...well, sparsely populated?"

The Land of Fire is the largest country in the ninja world, and its size is not just about its vast territory!DaGeng is a DaGeng with a prosperous economy, abundant products and a large population.

But if this is the Kingdom of Fire, then it is a little different from the Kingdom of Fire under the influence of Junko and Tomoko.

Although it's hard to tell right now, Junko feels like this place is sparsely populated and has a declining population.

"I always feel that this feeling seems a bit familiar." Junko frowned and said, "It's a bit like...a bit like..."

"Like what?" Tomoko asked.

"It's hard to say." Junko frowned and said, "I'm not sure now. I always feel that this place seems...like..."

"Ah...it feels like the era of the first five great powers, which is also the Warring States Period of the ninja world."

"It seems...there was an accident during time travel?"

Chapter 1 is the Warring States Period

Are you sure you didn't come to the wrong place? "

After running in the forest for three days and two nights, Junko and Tomoko didn't encounter a single person.

Tomoko asked with some doubt: "We won't go to the Devonian Earth, right?"

Is this really the ninja world?

Tomoko is quite suspicious now. The ninja world in her memory has never been as desolate as it is today!With the foot power of a ninja, unless you deliberately avoid densely populated places such as towns and villages.Otherwise, you can basically encounter a village in a day or more than half a day's journey at most.

Instead of not encountering a village for three or four days in a row like now.

"That's wrong." Junko also felt a little strange and said, "It's impossible. Although I am a novice in time travel, even if I travel to the Warring States Period, it shouldn't be so sparsely populated, right?"

"The direction should be correct. We are not wandering around in one place."

The direction is right, the region should be right, even the era...

Well, Junko didn't travel much in the ninja world during the Warring States Period.She just knew that during the Warring States Period, wars broke out frequently due to the various daimyo's attacks on each other, and banditry was serious.War and banditry have brought about two evil consequences, one is excessive taxation and the other is social unrest.These two consequences were a huge blow to social productivity. In this way, the ninja world during the Warring States Period was an era of sparsely populated people, labor shortages, and food shortages.But after running for so long, I should have encountered people even if there were few people around.

Why are you still wandering around in the forest?

Shouldn't it be? !

"What's going on?" Tomoko said a little frustrated, "We've been wandering around for three days. We should have met someone a long time ago. Why haven't we met anyone yet?"

"We're taking a look!" Junko decided to look for it. She climbed to the top of the tree and looked into the distance.She tried her best to find any place where there might be a human habitation, and she searched carefully.But at a glance, except for a sea of ​​trees, there seemed to be no human beings.

The more he looked at Junko, the more disappointed he became. Could it be that he had really gone to the wrong place?Did you go somewhere else the first time you traveled through time?

不 ...

Shouldn't it? !Are there any other studios with such towering trees?Is there such a Lin Hai?

Have...

Just as Junko was getting more and more desperate, she suddenly noticed a thick smoke in the distance.

"There is someone! There is someone!" Junko suddenly shouted excitedly to Tomoko under the tree: "Hurry up, there is someone at our six o'clock direction! I see someone!"

"Human?" Tomoko jumped up when she heard the sound. She looked in the direction Junko was pointing and said with uncertainty, "Are you sure the smoke over there isn't a forest fire?"

"Forest fire?" Junko shook her head and said, "I guarantee that it's definitely not a forest fire, that's cooking smoke! I'm very familiar with it, it's definitely cooking smoke! Even if it's not a village, there must be someone there. Set up camp.”

Is it really smoke?Tomoko couldn't believe it.

Tomoko had been holding back her doubts, but she didn't say a word.

What could she say?At this time, she could only choose to believe Junko, otherwise what else could she do?I can only pray that there are really people over there and not a forest fire.

Tomoko didn't object and ran with Junko towards the place that looked like smoke.

It looked far away, but compared to the ninja's foot strength, it wasn't too far away.After running for more than an hour, Tomoko could already clearly see the smoke column. The white smoke was mixed with a wisp of ash.It looked like it wasn't a forest fire anymore. I guess Junko was probably right this time.

There might actually be someone camping there.

After chasing the smoke and getting closer, Junko and Tomoko encountered human smoke for the first time.

"It's actually a village!" Tomoko stood on the treetops and looked at the village not far away in surprise. "But it feels... weird. Is this the Warring States Period?"

It was a village, yes, but it was different from the villages Tomoko had seen before.The villages I had seen before were generally connected by patches of farmland, consisting of a few low-rise houses and spread out along a dirt road.But this village is different.

Um...

If this were a village.

We can get an overview of the village from the treetops and count about ten households.The population is estimated to be around a few dozen people, but this village is not ordinary!There is actually a moat on the outermost layer of the village, and a wooden wall on the inner layer.

The wall didn't look like an ordinary wall. The outer layer was thick and strong logs, the inner layer was a layer of tamped soil, and the mouth layer was another layer of logs.

Between the city wall and the moat, there were a lot of wooden spikes, and horses walked around the city wall to protect the village tightly.

There is an entrance and exit in the east and west of the village. All entrances and exits are suspension bridges. At this time, the suspension bridge has been raised.

"This doesn't look like a village at all." Tomoko complained: "It looks more like a military camp."

"What's abnormal about this?" Junko said, seemingly a little surprised: "If this was the Warring States Period, then for the villagers living in the village, the samurai and daimyo themselves would be the biggest threat. Because they will rob their own people for tax revenue and will not provide protection when bandits attack the village."

"So it's almost too normal for villagers to build their own walls and arm themselves to protect the village."

"It's just this style..." Junko said a little doubtfully: "It doesn't look like the style of the Warring States Period."

"Warring States Period?" Tomoko said a little puzzled: "Did the Warring States Period still have its own style?"

"Of course." Junko explained: ""Naruto" itself is an anime based on the culture of District [-], and the various settings in it do not come out of thin air. I don't think the author will necessarily go into it very carefully. He studies these things, but his basic inspiration comes from these. If you study carefully, you can find that AB appears in the original work from the Jomon period, the Yayoi period, the Kofun period, the Asuka period, the Kamakura period, and the Edo period. Some things that are characteristic of the times and other times.”

"For example, when Kaguya first came to the ninja world, until she opened the Infinite Tsukuyomi, her clothes and hairstyle at that time had the characteristics of the Yayoi period. And the Sengoku period corresponds to the Sengoku period in District [-]."

"The ninjas of this period should generally have gradually begun to rise. Although they largely replaced the status of the samurai class of that era, they did not completely break away from the influence of the samurai." Junko explained: "So you can see that regardless of Whether it’s a class or the first generation, the armor they wear is different from the later ninja vests.”

"Then what era do you think this is?" Tomoko said: "If this is the Warring States Period..."

"Isn't this how we met the First Hokage and Madara?"

Tomoko remembered that after Orochimaru was reincarnated into the first and second generation Hokage, they obviously recognized him and Junko.Could it be that this is how you travel through time and space?

"This..." Junko scratched her head and said, "I feel...it's hard to say..."

Both the first generation and the second generation belonged to the late Warring States Period, when ninjas had already formed obvious families.And it has completely replaced the traditional samurai class in terms of military status. This is also the reason why the first generation was able to join forces with Madara to end the Warring States Period.

But facing this village, Junko always feels that...

This does not seem to be the style of the Warring States Period.

Could it be that they came to an earlier era?

Junko didn't dare to say this, hoping that this was really the Warring States Period, and the era where the first Hokage lived.

"Look at that!" Tomoko pointed to a flag raised in the village and said, "Is there a ninja clan in the ninja world whose emblem is a single magatama?"

'Single magatama? Junko also noticed that the flag raised in that village was not a common clan emblem in the ninja world.The magatama is rarely used as a clan emblem by the ninja clan in the ninja world.Because they are used too much, most of the Ninja clan's clan emblems pursue uniqueness and are directly related to the characteristics of the family.

As for magatama, which is almost worn out, no family would choose it as their emblem.

"We should go." Junko planned to go in and take a look, but she couldn't think of anything right now.It’s better to just go in and ask!

"And this flag is raised." Junko pointed at the flag and said, "They have discovered us."

"Have they discovered us?" Tomoko said a little doubtfully, "Just by raising a flag, we have been discovered? Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Junko said: "The flag represents rights, leadership, possession, and many other meanings. It also has the chill of war in it. Although it is not a direct attack, it also means to deter the opponent and improve one's morale. , so Tomoko."

"You don't think we happened to happen upon someone else's flag-raising ceremony, do you?"

Is it like this?Tomoko looked at the camp and it seemed that it had become lively since the flag was raised.The suspected militiamen who were still fishing on the fence began to become energetic, and at the same time, more and more people gathered on the fence.

These newcomers wore rough armor woven from wood or vines, and held various cold weapons in their hands, including spears and crude bows and arrows.

There was no intention to attack or challenge, but each one of them looked towards themselves or pointed at themselves. It was obvious that they had discovered themselves, but they probably had not determined their specific location.

"Could it be said that there are sentient ninjas here?" Tomoko said a little doubtfully: "No, if there were sentient ninjas, they would have attacked directly."

It's impossible to just determine the general direction and not find the person.

Just when Tomoko was still confused, the gate of the camp opened, and a woman was lowered from the suspension bridge...

came up.

Chapter 1: Trapping our ancestors

"Who are you spying on? Do you dare to spy in that dark and quiet place?"

She is a woman with long black hair, black eyes and a delicate face. She is short and wearing a black outfit that looks like a kimono but not quite like it.A pretty-looking woman, but her face is not so kind.

It’s not just that you don’t approach strangers, it’s also a bit...

She feels a bit like a little girl.

And what she said...

"Are you talking Japanese?" Tomoko said, a little confused, "Is this a Japanese girl? Why can't she even speak Japanese?"

"This is not a Japanese girl, but the words are still Japanese." Junko could barely understand some of it and said, "It's just that this is not ordinary Japanese."

"Dialect?" Tomoko seemed to understand something.

"No~" Junko shook her head and said, "This is Mandarin! Mandarin is the official language. Well, it's not an ordinary official language, you know?"

Tomoko doesn't know at all, what is the official language?Isn’t the official language just a general language?

"It's really not ordinary Japanese." Junko explained to Tomoko: "Just from this point of view, I have to go to China. Except for our country, there is a difference between the official language and the folk language in many other countries, and even It’s obvious that they are speaking the same language, but both sides just can’t understand it and need to be translated.”

"Do you know this joke posted by Yuyin?" Junko asked.

I would say that other Genzhizi don't know, but this Genzhizi still knows something.

"Yuyin Broadcasting. Yuyin refers to the voice of the royal family and is an honorific. Broadcasting is broadcasting." Junko explained: "Yuyin here is not just an honorific, but also refers to another language used by the licking emperor, Crane Yin. '. Although it is also Japanese, it is only used among members of the royal family and some high-ranking nobles, so most civilians in District [-] cannot understand it."

"And even if they don't use this language, these nobles can still work on their word choice and intonation. They just turn the words you can understand into words you can't understand."

"You seem to understand very well." Tomoko looked at Junko and said, "Do you understand?"

"Of course." Junko said with a little pride: "My uncle and I used to... Oh, by the way, do you know who my uncle is? I should say uncle, right? He's a daimyo, a daimyo from the Land of Fire! That one is our relative, I have been to his place before and learned these things from him."

"So now I can understand this."

"Let's go." Junko pulled Tomoko up and said, "Let's go meet this woman."

After saying that, the two people walked out of the woods. When the two people walked out of the woods, the people in the village suddenly became nervous.There was a lot of yelling, and some people even opened their bows and arrows in an attempt to attack.

On the contrary, the black-haired woman who came out looked much calmer. She completely calmed down the crowd with just a glance and made the group of people behind her quiet down.

She looked at the two girls coming out of the woods.

Not to mention, she was really a little surprised. She had learned some kung fu from her husband and hadn't gotten home yet.She was still a little panicked when she realized someone was outside the village. After all, she had just started learning ninjutsu. With her little skills as a three-legged cat, it was okay to scare people. But if they were to fight with real swords and guns, she might be defeated. .

But she calmed down quickly. These people came at a time when her husband had not returned home. The most important lack of combat effectiveness in the village would be seriously detrimental to the village if a fight broke out.

And he couldn't hide. If he hid, the prestige his husband had established in the village would probably be lost.Not only that, the village will also face a serious crisis, so she must stand up at this time.

No matter what method you use, you must delay it until your husband comes back.

She stood up and decided to meet the intruders first.Judging from the situation I felt, these intruders were just waiting outside, and there were not many of them. If I bluffed and told them an empty city strategy, I might be able to scare them away.

What she never expected was that the intruders were actually two girls, or a pair of twin girls?

A girl who is much younger than herself and looks to be only eight or nine years old.

This was a bit unexpected for her.

More importantly, these two girls are not ordinary girls.She could completely feel the chakra from these two girls, and judging from their pace, these two girls were real trainers.If a fight really breaks out, I may not be a match for these two girls who are more than ten years younger than me.

"Who are you?" she said, pretending to be calm but a little unsure.

"Don't be nervous." Junko could see the girl's nervousness at a glance, and she quickly explained: "We are not evil people, we are just passing by and want to ask for some food, drink, and take a rest. It’s just a way.”

"Ask for directions?" The girl relaxed a little. It seemed that the two twin girls had no ill intentions. She asked, "Where are you going?"

"Where are you going?" This time it was Tomoko's turn to ask. She seemed a little hesitant and difficult to say: "We don't know either. We are going to join our relatives, but we don't know where they are, so It’s like running around like a headless chicken.”

"It took me more than three days of running in the forest to find this place."
