Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Side Quest Completed
It has to be said that humans are a very adaptable species.
Unlike when they first came out, after spending a few days together, the group seemed to notice that Ali's personality had gradually become lively again, and her way of communicating with them had hardly changed. Following the children and the elderly, the others also gradually put their minds at ease.
They are acquaintances who have grown up together. Maybe they had a misunderstanding before?
Looking at the big bull being 'beaten' in the open space, they thought subconsciously.
It was nothing special. Da Niu was just like Ali before. It had only been four days, but he had grown more than ten centimeters right under their noses. The chubby feeling of his childhood had returned to him. It seemed that it was because the food was too good and he had exercised enough. At this moment, muscles were already faintly visible on his half-naked upper body.
Curiosity is like being scratched by a cat's claws, it's so itchy.
At this moment, a group of them were sitting around a campfire, talking quietly, but their eyes inevitably glanced at the open space on the side.
Next to the open space, all the younger children gathered there. They were much more energetic at this time. Under the care of the adults, they seemed to have released some of their nature. They gathered in front of the open space and shouted something, as if to cheer each other up.
Shui Cang and A Cui were holding something that looked like a jade slip, seemingly learning something while observing the battle situation closer to the open space. The two adults were guarding next to a group of children, and from time to time they would pull back one or two little kids who wanted to run to the battlefield and play with them.
At this moment, Da Niu was being trained by Ali, and Ban was sitting beside him, occasionally reminding Da Niu of some obvious problems. Most of his attention was on Ali.
A question broke the silence.
"I heard from A Cui's family that Shui Cang and A Cui also seemed to have received A Li's instruction yesterday and started learning to sit cross-legged."
"Have they decided yet?"
"Well, I heard from them that A Cui plans to stay with A Li forever, and you haven't seen how much their two young sons adore A Li these past few days."
"As a parent, even if you really have some opinions, you still have to consider your child's feelings in the end..."
"Daniel has changed so fast these days"
"That's right! The villagers can trace back several generations. I said that the villagers were stimulated and became a little suspicious. They demonized anything they saw that was difficult to understand. If you ask me, those ninjas can spit fire and thunder, why don't they say that ninjas are monsters?"
An old man cheerfully used a branch to stir the thick wood in the campfire, trying to make the flames brighter so they could see more clearly. "I guess Ali got something to cultivate with, and he has a good talent, so he became stronger very quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes. When we were fleeing, we went to a ninja village. We heard there was something called...something called a limit." A middle-aged man tried carefully to recall the words he had heard at the time, but he couldn't think of a complete answer. He simply gave up and continued, "It is said that if you can awaken it, you will instantly become very powerful!"
"What do you think that thing that Daniel practices every night? The effect is so strong that it makes me excited."
The scene was quiet for a while, and then an old man who looked very gentle and kind said, "Alright, no matter how good that thing is, it's someone else's child. You are so old, and you can't just sit back and envy other people's children."
"You should think about it after you finish visiting the last gathering place tomorrow. Should you stay and choose a gathering place to live a stable life, or continue to follow Ali?" The old man looked at the big bull that was kicked away in the open space. He felt a toothache and subconsciously wanted to touch his old waist.
"Ali's children are destined to never live the same life we did before, living a dull and uneventful life."
Everyone looked at each other. Fengshu, who was considered the youngest among the group, smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ning, you are joking. In this world, there is no such thing as a stable life."
He looked at the sparks from the bonfire in front of him and felt the warmth from it. "I'm only 26 years old, and I've already experienced two Ninja World Wars. In this world, even living an ordinary life is an illusory dream that will shatter at the slightest touch."
"But if I can become stronger, even if there is a war, I think I can barely protect myself and my family."
Everyone fell silent.
"Ahhh! Stop pressing on me! Stop pressing on me! My waist!" Daniu was surrounded by a group of children, who were laughing and climbing onto him. One or two children imitated Ali's movements, gesturing beside him as if they were the ones who had knocked Daniu down. However, the hands that accidentally landed on Daniu couldn't even leave a red mark...
Fengshu looked at this scene with a gentle look on his face. Seeing the expectant and bright light in his son's eyes, his eyes gradually became firm.
No matter what, he might face more dangers after following Ali, but even if it's just for the sake of the child, he must follow!
Shui Cang stood aside, smiling helplessly. He no longer had the tenseness of the past few days. He seemed to have put away his edge and turned back into the gentle appearance of his childhood. A Cui had already stepped forward to help Da Niu up and handed him a pill.
Daniel's face instantly turned bitter...
Looking at Da Niu's resisting look, Ali smiled and shook his head, then looked up at Ban who had been sitting on the tree and directing them, with fighting spirit and excitement slowly rising in his eyes.
Since leaving the village a few days ago, Ban didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly started to actively help her with her training, and occasionally he would say a few words about the big cow's problems, as if he was going to fully fulfill the obligations that he should have as an elder.
——Even if Ali's conditions at the time were particularly generous, there was absolutely no need for him to do this...
They traveled for several days in the Kingdom of Sky, and it was during these days that Ali felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and excitement of gradually becoming stronger.
From dragging a big tree at the beginning, to later having to be careful to avoid branches and leaves thrown by Madara from somewhere at any time, the big tree was no longer convenient for moving forward, so she continued her evasive training by carrying a thick piece of wood on her back. However, the thick piece of wood had no effect on Ali after just half a day of travel. Madara had originally planned to find her a rock, but it was too cumbersome.
Ali probably also understood Madara's purpose of training her physical qualities in all aspects. It happened that there were ten yellow-level spiritual weapons with adjustable weights of 10,000 kilograms that were packaged and discounted by 30% for a limited time in the daily special offer. The total was only 70 points. Ali simply bought them all, and several friends, even Madara, were assigned one.
"Tsk, a warmongering brat." Uchiha Madara's thin lips curled up inadvertently, and then he jumped down in an instant, looking at Ali who had instantly flashed in front of him and swung a punch.
The highly skillful combos seemed to bear his shadow, yet they had begun to develop their own independent style, with his belief in a simple and direct one-hit kill. Each move carried the breath of death and struck directly at the vital point, yet was light, agile, and had a certain degree of powerful speed, which was contradictory yet dangerous.
Response, defense, and offense have all made qualitative leaps...
It’s hard to imagine that this child was just a clueless idiot a few days ago.
If she were to fight against the jonin and chunin of those ninja villages at this time, the situation would probably be completely reversed.
Madara enjoys every war, especially those that make him feel the fatal crisis and require him to enjoy it with all his strength. Although Ali cannot do it completely now, it is difficult for him to kill Ali with one blow in a short period of time just from the perspective of physical skills.
Ali has an absolute way to save his life, and his recovery speed is extremely fast. He can fight with him for hours on end and gain experience without considering his injuries.
Experience gained through actual combat from the Shura's men in the Ninja World.
It really makes people look forward to it more...
Seeing that Ali was fighting with the invisible adult again, the people sitting in front of the campfire understood and moved away to avoid accidental injuries.
The sky had gradually brightened before they knew it, and everyone walked the last 10 kilometers in silence.
In fact, some strange things were found in the ruins of the Kingdom of Sky 50 kilometers away from the edge of the second gathering place the day before. The reason why Ali wanted to finish the walk was to see if he could use this to find a suitable living environment for everyone in the future.
But at the end, when Ali asked everyone if they were willing to stay, except for a few elderly people who were worried that they would be a drag, everyone else's choices were surprisingly unanimous.
They've been commoners their entire lives, but now, a chance to transcend class and become stronger is right before their eyes. In fact, no one is willing to give up easily...
Ali suddenly smiled.
This is a two-way choice...

[The host can enter the subsystem through the clone module of the main system to issue tasks and put products on the shelves. Please check the specific rules yourself.]
Watching Da Niu and the others patiently teach everyone how to use the sect's token just like she had before, and watching everyone experimenting with the functions of the token in amazement, for a moment she felt a sense of surprise and unreality as if she had set foot on a new continent.
Ali watched them communicate and did not interfere.

Ali nodded in satisfaction. There were a lot more supplies available, and except for the intermediate and advanced alchemy notes, all of them were bought at a limited-time special price.
The system seemed to know exactly what she needed at this stage, so she had developed a habit of waiting for the special offer area to refresh in the early morning. Usually, the items were completely necessary for a sect's early stages, and she could even buy them with her eyes closed without making any mistakes.
Ali was almost moved to tears by this behavior, and he didn't know how many times he thanked the Earth boss for his kindness in his heart.
However, now that the inheritance of the side quests has been completed, the issue of the base must be decided as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a problem where they will live next.
Ah Li suddenly called out seriously, "Daniu, Shuicang, Ah Cui"
"exist"
Hearing Sister Ali calling him, several people responded subconsciously and quickly walked out of the crowd.
"You won't rest today. Try to get them back to the vicinity of the second gathering place before dark. Then, bring them to me according to the location information I sent you," Ali instructed. "If nothing unexpected happens, we will have our own base by tomorrow at the latest."
"Can you do that?"
"Don't worry, big sister! The beatings I received these days were not in vain!" Da Niu subconsciously patted his chest, looking like he was taking on a big responsibility.
Shui Cang looked at Daniu helplessly, and then replied seriously, "I'll do my best."
"Yeah," A Cui nodded vigorously.
After hearing these words, the eyes of the people around them subconsciously brightened up.
…
Ali and the others quickly split into two groups.
It's still early in the timeline, and Shennong should find Konoha three years later and retrieve the Zero Tail's ritual scroll. Therefore, what she needs to face now are only the nearly a thousand sky ninjas sensed on the map, and Shennong who is looking for the ritual scroll in some unknown country.
She alone is enough, not to mention she has Madara-kun!
While running, Ali looked at the side where Ban was very relaxed, relying on his spirit body floating beside him, and showed a wanton smile on his face that he himself did not notice.
It was nearly 100 kilometers, but Ali ran there in less than an hour.
The number of gathering places around has also been visibly reduced.
Perhaps it is taboo that this place is the site of the ancient country of time and space, and countless corpses of previous generations may be sleeping on it. The refugees at this time are still very taboo about these things. There are few people living in the area of more than ten miles, and the broken and collapsed buildings have long been half-covered by trees and vegetation.
Looking at a long staircase leading directly to the exposed entrance of the ruins, Ali took a deep breath and then stepped in firmly.
…
Several White Zetsu emerged from the soil, chattering and reporting the situation.
"Obito, Obito, the person the child was traveling with has been found!"
"That person isn't here, but the group of people they're traveling with seem very purposeful. They must be looking for that child."
"Want to go check it out?"
Obito's eyes were dark and unclear. He suddenly put on his mask and picked up the chain beside him.
"Where's Black Zetsu?"
"I'm watching Nagato and the others. They're planning to kill Hanzo Salamander by force. Black Zetsu is still a little worried and has put all his energy into that matter. Do you want me to inform him now?"
Obito seemed to be sucked into the vortex and disappeared into the cave. "I'll tell you when I come back."
