"Yeah, I'm back."

Lu Ning nodded at the old man, responded and showed a look of difficulty.

When the old man saw Lu Ning's appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you Jiuhe? Did you encounter something difficult?"

Lu Ning's thoughts kept flashing in his heart.

Three people.

Although his side mission has the task of killing a Shinin, unless the three Shinin are separated and dealt with one by one, he will have the possibility of killing these three Shininin. It is impossible to confront the three of them head-on.

If you cannot confront it head-on, you obviously cannot stay in this village. For ninjas who want to massacre civilians, hiding in the house is simply waiting to die.

The problem is.

He is not familiar with this area, and if he leaves the village, he doesn't know where it is easier to hide, but this question seems to be asking about Nightmare Space.

"Ten miles away from this village, there is a canyon. There is a hidden cave on the edge of the canyon that can hide more than twenty people."

The Nightmare Space gave Lu Ning important information very appropriately.

Hearing the information from Nightmare Space, Lu Ning suddenly felt sure and had a plan. He immediately said to the old man in a deep voice: "I heard outside that there was a group of ninjas moving, and the direction of the journey was probably ours."

Lu Ning did not explain clearly when it came, nor did he explain clearly what ninja it came. In this era of war, a piece of news that caught the wind and shadow was enough.

"ah?!"

When the old man heard this, he panicked and said, "What should I do?"

It is now during the Second Ninja World War. Apart from their native ninjas in the Rain Country, no matter whether it is Sandou or Iwaki, you can say that there is no grass everywhere you go.

Lu Ning made a contemplative expression, his face full of embarrassment, as if he was thinking hard. After a while, he raised his head and said, "We probably have to leave the village first."

"this……"

The old man showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but when he thought that the ninja might come, he couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly and couldn't help but say:

"But if we leave the village, where will we hide?"

Lu Ning took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In the canyon ten miles away, there is a cave that can hide from people. I discovered it in my early years. You can go there to hide."

Hearing Lu Ning's words, the old man's face suddenly showed a hint of joy. It would be great if he could have a cave to shelter from the rain. It would be better to bring dry food and hide for three or five days.

"I'm going to tell everyone now. Thank you so much for Jiuhe."

The old man guessed in his heart that the cave might be the shelter prepared by Lu Ning for himself. Now that there is danger, he is willing to let everyone take refuge together, so he is naturally very grateful.

After the old man left.

Lu Ning looked out the door, his eyes flashed, and thought of the second side mission, and asked in his heart: "Where are Yahiko Konan and Nagato?"

Under normal circumstances, it would probably take a lot of effort to inquire about information to complete this task, but for Lu Ning, he would naturally ask about Nightmare Space directly.

Nightmare Space responded: "Hide in a cave fifty miles away. It is not recommended that you complete this side mission now. It is recommended to focus on the main mission."

Lu Ning thought for a while and felt that Nightmare Space was right.

Fifty miles, this distance is too far.

Something is easy to happen on the road, and the main task is the key. You must ensure that all the villagers here are safe before you can think about this side task.

The second side mission was temporarily put aside, and the only ones in front of Lu Ning were the main mission and the side mission of hunting a Shinin.

While thinking.

The villagers in the village came out one after another.

Because this is the Country of Rain, straw hats and straw raincoats are common items, but some people's straw hats look very worn, and their clothes are patched.

"Jiuhe, are you saying true? Ninjas will come here."

"Where did you find out the news?"

Among the villagers who walked over one after another, some asked Lu Ning.

Obviously not everyone can trust unconditionally with just one word. After all, this is the Rain Country of the Second Ninja World War. However, since Lu Ning knows that he is a member of the trusted by the villagers, it is easy to solve this problem.

"When I was out, I met ninjas in a small town and overheard their conversation... Although I was not sure if what they said was true, we were not wrong to hide." Lu Ning said to the villagers.

Hearing Lu Ning's words, the people who asked could not help but hesitate, but someone next to him soon spoke.

"Yes, it's okay to hide. Anyway, I just want to go out to hide for a few days."

"If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you are not afraid of it."

For these villagers who were frightened in the Second Ninja World War, a little movement was enough to make them feel hiding.

Just as everyone was talking, the old man, as the village chief, came over with a cane and interrupted everyone's discussion.

"You can't bet on your life."

"Even if those ninjas say unintentionally, we must treat them seriously."

The old man's prestige was obviously full. After saying a few words, many villagers immediately stopped talking about it.

Then the old man briefly said that there was a hidden cave in the canyon ten miles away, which could be hidden for everyone. Many villagers breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if there was a hidden place to shelter from the rain. Not to mention hiding for a few days, it would be fine if it was ten days and half a month.

"Okay, go and clean up your stuff and bring all the dry food."

Seeing that everyone's appearance was no longer questioned, the old man spoke to everyone. The people present immediately dispersed and returned home to pack their things.

At this time, the old man walked towards Lu Ning and took out a short knife from the package behind him, which was wrapped in an old leather case.

"Jiuhe."

"This is a short sword passed down by the warriors of my ancestors. I can't swing it anymore when I'm old. Just watch it and use it for self-defense."

The old man handed over the short knife and smiled kindly at Lu Ning.

This knife is actually very valuable and can be sold at a high price outside. Generally he will not take it out. But this time Lu Ning took out the place he used to take shelter and asked the villagers to take shelter together. Including the time half a year ago, it was the second time that the villagers had been rescued.

Seeing the short knife handed over by the old man, Lu Ning subconsciously reached out to take it.

The moment he took the short knife, a picture that only he could see popped up in Lu Ning's pupils, which were all the data about the short knife.

Old short knife (white)

Origin: Naruto

Handle: 13cm.

Blade body: 40cm.

Attack power: 11-23 (added with power attributes)

Additional attributes: Strength +1.

Durability: 20/30.

Wearing requirements: None.

Evaluation: This is a knife used by a samurai and is also very suitable for ninjas. It can exert excellent power in close combat, and is only a little short of green quality.

When Lu Ning saw the attributes of this short sword, he was slightly stunned, and then asked Nightmare Space in his heart and said, "Can I see the attributes of the items directly?"

Nightmare Space replied: "In front of the eyes that have not obtained true vision, you need to touch the items to view their attributes, and you cannot view the attributes of life, including humans."

Lu Ning knew it in his heart and asked: "What do these 'white' and 'green' mean?"

"The equipment obtained by contractors will be divided into five types: white, green, blue, purple and gold according to their quality. The higher the quality, the stronger the attributes."

Lu Ning nodded, looked at the attack power line, and asked again: "What does this 'addition of power attributes' mean?"

Nightmare Space did not answer, but a line of data popped up in front of Lu Ning.

"Your power is 12 points. When holding this weapon, the basic damage caused by the attack is between (12+11) and (12+23)."

I see.

Lu Ning nodded slightly, strength is equivalent to fixed damage, while attack power is additional damage, and the relationship between the two is an additional calculation.

"Village Chief, the short sword passed down from ancestors must be very precious..."

Lu Ning looked at the old man with this short knife.

The old man smiled when he heard this. When he was about to speak, he heard Lu Ning continue to say.

“…Then I will accept it.”

“???”

The old man was so angry that he couldn't get up, and almost fell head-on and burped on the spot.

At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Lu Ning's ears.

Tip: You have caused 1 damage to the village chief.

Tip: Village Chief’s favorability - 1.
