Chapter 54 Chapter 54 The Stubborn Old Man and the Mini Planet
One day after traveling through time...
Looking at the countless bills in his hand, even Gojo Satoru felt a little scalp-tingling and furious for a moment.
Baimao bluntly retorted to the group of old men on the opposite side who were trying to PUA him.
"I wasn't the only one who destroyed that place! Go find Gon and that Uchiha Madara and demand compensation!"
"Also, this is an inevitable loss during the mission. Old oranges just get thicker skinned. Why should I cover for you?"
"Gojo Satoru! Watch your tone!!!"
"That was your private fight. What does it have to do with the mission? Why should we cover for you?"
Several old men shouted with sullen faces.
Besides, if they could find someone, would they come looking for Gojo Satoru? They should first test the existence that could defeat Gojo Satoru and win him over. This was their top priority.
But now, the person hasn’t been found, but they can’t have lost the money as well, right?
The loss this time is too huge. Even if they can afford it, it will definitely hurt.
Shinjuku is Tokyo's most prosperous area, and now, except for the sprained building, it's completely destroyed...
Reconstruction funds for the busiest areas, compensation for various businesses there, compensation for businesses unable to open during the reconstruction process, compensation for lost customer traffic if they can recover, plus miscellaneous damages...
Even they couldn't ignore such a huge expenditure.
Not to mention Gojo Satoru's various shirking of responsibility with the higher-ups, at this moment, as one of the culprits that caused all this, Ban was frowning as he watched the interaction between the girl and the large man in front of him...
When they emerged from the tunnel, the sun was already blazing outside. Before they could even stand still, an excited voice rang out in the distance: "Big Sister!"
Ah Li turned around and saw a familiar figure standing up from the campfire and running towards her...
"Big bull!" Ali also laughed, getting rid of the complicated emotions brought about by the fourth battle.
Although she had only been gone for a day, Da Niu's appearance finally made Ali feel that she had been gone for almost two months...
I'm getting stronger again...
She reached out and pinched the muscles on Daniu's arm with curiosity: "What are Shui Cang and the others doing?"
Da Niu smiled and scratched his head in response, "Each of the four of us will take turns guarding here for a day, and the others will maintain order in the sect up there."
Ali nodded, then paused as he felt something was wrong.
one person?
Her spiritual sense swept towards the people gathered in a group in front of her.
…
I looked at the bonfire before me, and the thick soup on top of it. The milky white soup was about to boil, and the fresh aroma of fish wafted out from it, which was very tempting...
Several young men and women were gathered nearby, and after Da Niu and a few others walked over, the young men stood up with smiles on their faces.
It seems that Daniel has a pretty good relationship with them...
Ali looked at the old man standing by the campfire. At this moment, he was calling on a few young people to continue, and then he came towards them.
If I remember correctly, it's been almost two months here, right? Looking at the old man in front of him, Ali felt a headache for a moment.
It seems that I have gotten into trouble again...
She cast a puzzled look at the big bull beside her.
The big bull on the side had a bitter face: "The old man insisted that we were descendants of their royal family, and that the spirit stone in our hands was some kind of Gray Stone, which was extremely dangerous and couldn't be used. He pestered us and wouldn't let us leave, insisting that the eldest sister come back to explain clearly..."
"We can't really do anything to him..." So he was entangled, and several people were sent to follow him...
Ali understood what Da Niu meant, and looked at the campfire they were gathered around and the steaming pot on it.
Daniel scratched his head in embarrassment.
But before Daniu could explain, the old man followed the snow ferret and slowly walked in front of Ali.
"I just wanted to be a good host. How could a few kids go without eating all day?"
"You took away those Gray Stones." The old man with a mustache slowly stood in front of her and advised her earnestly:
"Child, listen to Grandpa's advice. The Gray Stone is a disaster. You are a descendant of the royal family, so you should know some of the past..."
Ali helplessly touched the ferret that instantly abandoned its food and climbed onto her shoulder.
She was now certain that the ferret's method of recognizing people was definitely not bloodline, but rather something like spiritual energy or a spirit...
But it's also undeniable that this little guy has the potential to become a demon beast, and that royal descendant might actually have some special qualities...
When I have some free time later, I can go look for it.
But now...
"Old man, I'm really not a descendant of your royal family, and the Grayer Stone you're talking about isn't just owned by the land beneath your feet." Ali patiently explained to the old man, "We call it a spirit vein."
"Our village originally lived in an underground spiritual vein that was close to the highest grade. However, our hometown has been used as a battlefield by Konoha and the Iwagakure. Our cultivation and growth have also consumed a lot of energy, so we followed the spiritual energy and found this place..."
"More than one?" The old man's expression changed when he heard this.
But if there were more than one, why did he come to get this one? Moreover, if there were many, why had he never heard of any relevant information after so many years of business?
The special features of the Gray Stone can be easily discovered by even an ordinary person, so how could those ninjas not be able to discover it?
Seeing the old man's expression that said "don't scare me", Ali shook her head and took out four spirit stones that looked very different from each other.
"We call them spirit stones. From low to high, they are low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Apart from the top-grade, I don't think anyone would think that these stones would have any good effects..."
After a long while of painstakingly explaining to the old man the differences between the various spirit stones, the old man finally seemed to believe it a little.
"So, apart from the best-grade spirit stones, the energy of other grades of spirit stones is even more violent. Ninjas will be petrified when they use them, and civilians will be killed by the violent energy? That's why no one cares until now?"
Ali nodded.
"But you took away our top-grade spiritual veins." The old man added silently.
Ali opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
It would have been fine if they hadn't been discovered, as this was the mineral vein they had intended to destroy. However, if they had known about it, there was no way Ali would have done it. In the eyes of the other party, it would have looked more like a robbery...
She looked at the old man's stubborn look for a long time, then sighed, "What do you want?"
He Yan, who was determined to stick to his guns, said, "Our family was born to protect the Grayer Mine. We will follow wherever the mine is..."
"You took our mineral vein, so we will follow you."
"No matter how good your words are, I won't believe them if I haven't seen them."
The old man was very stubborn: "At least I have to watch you and make sure you don't do anything wrong with the Grayer Ore..."
"What? They're all mine. Why does my son need permission to use my things?"
In my mind, the little guy was jumping up and down in indignation.
"Kid! Return this vein to him, and I'll take you to a top-quality vein that no one has discovered!"
"I still have a lot of top-quality minerals on me. I'll take you to get them, kid! I don't want this!!"
While comforting his mother in his spiritual consciousness, Ali looked at the old man intently, then smiled.
"Okay, then you can come together..."
These are hundreds of families and nearly a thousand connections.
He is a good seedling who grew up on a top-quality mineral vein.
It's delivered to your door, why not take it?
He wanted to see it, so let him see it...
She would make him trust her, and finally, completely accept the sect and accept them...
Xia Youjie followed Ali silently.
This place is so clean...
After he was sucked into the black hole, he never saw any trace of the curse again.
So, is this really another world?
In that comic, the world of Naruto...
He focused all his attention on his surroundings and walked slowly following the two figures in front of him.
By the time he reacted, a bowl filled with rice in fish soup was stuffed into his hand.
Perhaps it was the other person's pure gaze and kindness that was so clean that there was not even a hint of curse that prevented him from rejecting it immediately.
It was interesting to see that several people from the special group and the civilians sat together in harmony. Even though they seemed to have had some conflicts before, they were still able to sit down and have a good conversation, discuss solutions to the problems, and the allocation of personnel after they joined.
This kind of scene was something he had never dared to imagine before.
He could see the disgust in the bones of ordinary people. Even the smallest complaints were enough to accumulate into a large one, eventually forming a curse that forced sorcerers to fight against it with their own lives...
But it turns out that if there is no curse in the world, can people with special abilities and ordinary people live in harmony like this?
Geto Suguru followed them and enjoyed the villagers' warm hospitality. He watched the girl negotiate with a group of villagers in the remote mountain village, and watched her directly lift the entire residential area into the air and merge it with the island in the sky, which was truly a miracle.
Although they were both from a remote mountain village, the people there were unusually simple and honest, and very warm and hospitable. When the fat middle-aged woman who was following him noticed that his clothes were covered in blood, she even gave him another set of clothes.
The physiological disgust surged in his heart again, but he restrained his impulse, put on a smile that could be described as Buddha-like, and gently thanked the woman.
Geto Suguru's eyes darkened.
Observe again...
…
"Hurry up, hurry up. I told you to pack up a long time ago. Why are you still dawdling now that it's time to leave?" The old man blew his beard and glared at one of the families.
Xiaohui, a plump middle-aged woman, looked towards her terraced fields with a look of reluctance:
"Elder, if you leave, what will happen to our land? The vegetables on it are so tender and we can eat them in a few days..."
They had just harvested a round of crops, and there were still nearly two months before the next suitable planting period. Many villagers took advantage of this gap to plant some fast-growing vegetable seedlings on the terraces.
Seeing that this round of seedlings is about to grow, many villagers are reluctant to let them leave immediately, as they may never come back.
It's not that I'm reluctant to give up this harvest, but I'm reluctant to give up the village I've managed for nearly a hundred years...
Ali watched quietly. She could see that, except for the fat aunt, many villagers had reluctance in their eyes.
This also shows how high He Yan's status is among the villagers. Even if they were asked to leave their homes where they had lived for a long time, they didn't have much objection and directly chose to follow...
Perhaps it's because most of the people in their village were originally refugees...
Every year they would exchange a group of people to trade in the Kingdom of Rivers, and He Yan was the elder of their caravan. It had become their habit to obey orders.
The village here was originally just a long-term resting place for their caravans to guard the mines. Since transportation to the River Country was inconvenient and the daimyo couldn't manage such a large area, they cultivated farmland here and settled down as a semi-residential address...
But after all, they've lived here for nearly a hundred years, so it's inevitable that they'd be reluctant to leave...
Although this might cause the daily expenses of the garrison to double, looking at the group of villagers in front of him who seemed to be leaving their homes and were filled with reluctance, Ali did not hesitate too much and directly ordered in his mind: "System, lower the sect garrison and prepare to connect to a new area."
[Received, the sect base is currently descending and is expected to reach the host's level in three minutes.]
The old man next to him was extremely anxious and was about to ask the other people with bags to leave.
"Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'll leave you here alone!"
"No! Oh, I get it! Right away, right away, don't rush me, I'll get some more seedlings..."
“…”
The way they expressed their reluctance was incredibly simple...
Ali laughed out loud, then raised his head and gestured to the old man: "Alright, no need to bother."
The old man looked up in the direction Ali pointed, and then slowly opened his mouth.
The huge island in the sky broke through the thick clouds in the sky, revealing its original appearance before everyone's eyes.
"Stand still!" Ali instructed, half-crouching on the ground with his hands pressed on the ground.
His spiritual consciousness expanded, his talent was maximized, and the area within a radius of five kilometers shook instantly, separated from the towering mountains below, and slowly rose.
Blue lines stretched out from the rocky area of the island above, connecting with the area that had risen into the air...
Ali wiped the sweat from his head.
Fortunately, I had broken through to the late stage of foundation building before, and my spiritual consciousness had also broken through the three small levels of foundation building several times. Otherwise, I would not be able to do it with only the Qi training stage!
At this moment, A-Ma's voice also rang in A-Li's mind: "Son! I have built the portal!"
"By the way, bring the agent in with you and show him the place. If he wants to go back later, he can only go this way."
"Communicate with the source within your spiritual consciousness, and you can come in directly."
Ali, who had just connected the two bases of the sect, was stunned for a moment and nodded.
At this moment, the surrounding villagers have not yet recovered from the sudden shock.
"What happened?" a young man asked in confusion.
"Did I just dream? It felt like our village suddenly took off..."
There was a moment of silent eye contact, and then an excited voice was heard.
"My vegetable seedlings! The ones in the yard were planted not long ago! They are growing so fast!" The fat aunt looked in disbelief at the vegetable seedlings in her yard that were growing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.
When someone spoke up, the originally silent atmosphere was instantly broken, and everyone began to discuss:
"A miracle?"
"My waist was hurting two days ago, but it's gone now!"
"My leg, which had been broken for years, is healed!!!"
"Hey? Isn't this a dream?" A girl aged 18-19 reached out her hand sleepwalkingly and grabbed the waist of the person next to her, then...
"Wow! Why are you pinching me!" The young man standing next to him jumped three feet high, and a mask of pain instantly put on his face.
There was constant discussion of shock.
This is an inevitable leakage of the energy line during the connection process, but it is enough to make the villagers in the mountain village feel like a baptism of rebirth.
He Yan knew a lot more. Looking at the village that seemed to be suddenly full of vitality and the excited villagers, he roughly understood the reasons for all this.
Grayer Stone... No, Spiritual Vein...
While everyone around him was still in a panic, he had already noticed the blue Gray Stone looming in the crevice of the rocks under the island.
The kid just came back today after taking away the mine they had been guarding for many years. And this island above, if nothing unexpected happens, is the base where Da Niu's kids have been taking turns guarding these days.
It seems that there are more veins of Gray Stone than just the one guarded by their family members.
That kid really didn't lie to them...
He still had some say in the mines they had guarded before, but since the mines did not belong to them, how could he interfere with how others used them?
"Sigh..." I hope this energy won't bring disaster in the end...
Seeing that the surrounding villagers gradually calmed down, Ali spoke.
"Elder He and everyone else."
"Welcome to join the Tianyan Sect..."
Hearing the noise, the disciples who had gathered around looked at the front of the original platform. Suddenly, there was a very conspicuous field and mountain village. They looked at the villagers and the sect leader who they had not seen for a long time, and looked at each other in surprise.
Could it be that this time the sect leader directly accepted the entire village as his subordinates?
Such a big deal? They brought the whole village and the people here?
"Sister Ali!"
"Leave Sect Master."
Shui Cang, A Cui and Shen Nong were the first to step onto the newly added territory and walked in front of her.
Ali nodded to a few people, then looked at the old man behind him again.
"As we agreed before, old village chief, you can follow us, but you must abide by our rules." She said to He Yan gently.
He Yan came back to his senses from his deep thoughts: "Don't worry about this. We have been traveling and doing business on the mainland for many years. We have been able to stay safe and sound, so we naturally know some rules."
To be honest, after clearly feeling the ability of the person in front of him and realizing the gap between them, and seeing that she did not directly ignore his request but actually accepted him, He Yan had a little more approval of the girl in front of him.
What time is it now?
In the 51st year of the Shinobi Village Calendar, the Third Great Ninja War has just ended, and civilians are struggling to survive in the ninja disputes.
The rule of the jungle has been ingrained into his instincts over the past fifty years. The reason he's been able to trade safely for so many years, aside from the terrain, is that he really knows how to adapt to changing circumstances.
Even in the Kingdom of Rivers, bandits escaping from outside often appear in some easy-to-travel areas, and when they reach the outside world, there is real chaos.
When they have sufficient funds, they will hire some ninjas from the local ninja village where they purchase goods, and spend a sum of money that may be almost the same as the price of the goods to escort them into the Kingdom of Rivers as a gesture of goodwill.
When you have no money, just buy less. You still have to hire ninjas. Once the goods are gone, they are gone. Talent is the most important.
It was his tact and generosity that allowed their caravan to survive safely for so many years, and their fixed resting villages became more and more prosperous.
He even knew that if the ninjas knew about the special features of this vein, there would be no need for discussion. The ninja village would directly seize it. This was also the reason why he had wanted to destroy the vein for so many years but had remained silent...
Ali nodded and said, "You will all be candidate disciples of our sect. Shennong and the others will guide you in the subsequent matters of joining the sect."
"Don't worry, we won't require you to join, nor will we force you to do anything. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."
"As the provider of top-grade spiritual veins, I will give you sufficient preferential treatment after you join the sect." Ali finally comforted the old man and pointed to the few people who had come forward:
"You've met Daniel and the others before. They will take over your arrangements from now on."
"Big Bull." Ali shouted.
"I'm here!" Da Niu immediately stood up straight and waited for Ali's instructions.
"I'll leave this to you. Make sure to complete the statistics and arrangements today."
"receive!"
"Oh, right." Ali walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned to inform Daniu and the others, "Please arrange for a high-level meeting within our sect at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss the future development of the sect."
"All disciples who possess mid-level management tokens must participate."
Hearing this, several people immediately became serious and said, "Yes."
"Geto Suguru, come with me." Ali glanced at the man who followed her and Madara without saying a word, then walked towards the main hall.
With the return of Ali and Ban, the entire sect seemed to have suddenly found a stabilizing force, and the already somewhat anxious atmosphere calmed down in an instant.
Ali took Xia Youjie along a small path and headed towards the main hall above.
"Don't you have anything to ask?" Ali and Madara were walking in front, and then they glanced at Geto Suguru who was following silently behind.
"This is the world of Naruto, right?" Xia Yujie glanced at Madara next to Ali and said, "What exactly do you want to do? Why did you bring me to this world?"
Having truly arrived in another world, he wouldn't be so foolish as to actually think this world was some kind of comic book...
Ali didn't refute: "Follow me, you will know in a while."
The three of them reached the top of the mountain. At the main entrance of the hall, Ali grabbed the wrists of the two of them, and then the three of them changed places in an instant.
Day suddenly turned to night, but the light of the stars seemed exceptionally bright, allowing them to see everything clearly.
What comes into view is a lush green lawn and several rivers with shimmering waves on it. In the distance, there is a high platform about ten meters high, on which a black vortex with silver light is slowly rotating.
Ali swept his spiritual sense over, and after thoroughly sensing it, he looked at the soles of his feet in disbelief.
Is this a planet?
that is……
Is it a bit too mini?
Ali shook his head. Although the diameter of this planet might be only about ten kilometers, it is still a planet no matter how small it is!
Wait, isn’t this thing in my own consciousness?
Ah Li suddenly raised his head and saw the universe and starry sky within his consciousness, which had been magnified countless times, as well as Ah Ma's face, which had been magnified countless times, almost covering the entire planet...
Madara and Geto Suguru, who looked up along with Ali, became alert almost instantly.
What the hell!!!
Ali: ...
