I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Page 943

Upon hearing the name Shennong, the residents, who had previously been wary, not only felt a sense of relief, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky, but also quickly accepted the reason behind it.

This is because the reason is very reasonable and sufficient.

"So you came to see the Shennong doctor."

"No wonder, after all, Shennong's medical skills are superb and he often travels between villages."

"........"

The surrounding sounds quickly transformed into praise for the doctor's superb medical skills.

However, in such an environment, there was one exception: the tomboy who was the first among the residents gathered there to raise questions.

When she heard the purpose of the stranger's visit, the look in her eyes instantly changed, as if a treasure she had carefully collected had been discovered by an outsider, who was now brazenly declaring his intention to take it away.

"Master Shennong is currently focused on researching medicinal herbs for treating diseases, so it is not convenient for him to receive outsiders, let alone travel far away suddenly. If you have anything to say, please tell me first."

She broke the atmosphere of admiration around her, her gaze fixed on the two outsiders standing in her field of vision.

Besides being unapproachable and distant, the words also contained a subtle hostility.

"I am a disciple of Master Shennong."

Seemingly worried that the visitor might not be convinced, he decisively introduced himself.

"Alright, Yu Liu, stop being so petty."

“Everyone knows you admire Master Shennong, but these two strangers have come here through the dangers of the rainforest at night, so they must have something urgent they want to ask Master Shennong for help with. We have no reason or right to refuse them on behalf of Doctor Shennong.”

Following the tomboy's voice, which was tinged with resistance and hostility, came the voice of an elder who sounded exceptionally kind and gentle.

He subtly advised the girl not to treat the highly skilled doctor as her personal possession.

The name Yu Liu that he mentioned was clearly the name of this tomboy who showed resistance.

Upon hearing this, the girl wearing a dark blue headscarf suddenly fell silent, and a look of resentment appeared on her face.

Because she knew perfectly well that she had no reason or right to stop the visitor from seeing Master Shennong, who was just a wandering doctor who had accidentally wandered into their small village in search of special herbs.

Even though the residents here have long regarded each other as family after spending a lot of time together, the freedom to come and go is still the most basic right they possess.

As for the disciples he mentioned, that was merely wishful thinking on his part.

As the uncle said, she was just a little unwilling and reluctant to let Shennong Physician leave this place.

"Of course, whether or not Teacher Shennong comes or goes is his own business."

"But if the teacher is unwilling to leave, then even a ninja cannot force the teacher to do so through other means."

Yu Shu, who had temporarily suppressed her selfish desires, then spoke to the stranger in her field of vision.

Furthermore, a clear warning could be heard in its voice.

Huang did not answer, but instead focused his gaze on the burly figure approaching behind the girl.

Within this imposing figure, he could sense an immense vitality, like bamboo shoots or new buds emerging after the rain, pulsating with life.

Only by the flickering firelight could one clearly see the white hair of the person who had come in, which hung down to his shoulders and arms.

"Thank you so much for thinking of me, Yuliu."

"However, since the guests who come here to see me must have something urgent to tell me, we cannot ignore the other patients."

At the same time, an unusually gentle voice drowned out the girl's aggressive tone.

This way of speaking reminded Ara of someone: Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha.

The gentle voice that reached her ears and the unusual warmth that suddenly fell on her head instantly softened Yu Liu, whose personality was like that of a little tiger.

"teacher,"

She turned sideways, hesitant to speak, and what came into her view was none other than the doctor, Shennong, who had once saved her from illness.

"I see."

At this moment, the girl was as obedient as a little house cat, afraid that she might cause the former's dissatisfaction.

At this moment, the surrounding residents also offered their most sincere appeals, clearly indicating that the former held a high prestige in this human settlement.

“You must be exhausted after traveling all the way from another place.”

"Let's rest at my place for a while, and then you can tell me about the problems you've encountered."

"I hope that my knowledge can be of help to you."

The white-haired old man spoke very sincerely and gently.

This perfectly embodies the saying "doctors have the heart of parents".

However, Huang clearly noticed the strange look that flashed in the other person's eyes when they saw the headband on his forehead, as well as the residents who quietly left the crowd and chose to walk into the darkness outside the village at this time.

It seems that the isolation of this place is only for the indigenous villagers.

"Ah."

"excuse me."

Huang responded simply.

If possible, he also didn't want to affect the ordinary residents here.

However, such a 'peaceful' resolution is not something that one person can easily decide on their own.

"will not."

"Please come with me, both of you."

The Shennong physician spoke in a very gentle voice and politely invited the two strangers, without putting on any airs of an elder.

At their invitation, even residents like Yu Liu, who harbored some reservations about outsiders, could not say anything more and dispersed to the sides of the road as the young couple approached.

Only after reaching the interior of this human town did Ying's fear of the boundless darkness begin to subside, and she no longer needed to stick close to her master as before.

After all, the towering granite walls, while providing a solid sense of security, also kept the dark rainforest at bay on the outer edge.

Shennong's residence was located in the center of the town.

This was likely done intentionally by the villagers, not only to show their respect for the skilled wandering doctor, but also to make it easier for people to quickly seek help when needed.

"Okay, this is it."

"The accommodations are simple, but they can at least keep you out of the wind and rain. I'm sorry to trouble you to make do here for one night."

Shennong, who had stopped in front of the stone house, said apologetically to the two strangers in front of him.

Throughout this journey, including his words and actions, his gentle and kind attitude towards others was evident.

"Oh, right,"

"If the girls find it inconvenient, they can stay at Yu Liu's house, which is very close to here."

He followed the visitor's gaze and glanced at the empty, spacious room, which could almost be described as bare, and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

These small gestures only added to his approachable and friendly demeanor.

"Is it okay, Yuliu?"

As he spoke, he asked the tomboy who had been following behind him for his opinion.

Even though the other residents had already gone home after this little incident, this girl kept following behind them.

Faced with the sudden question from the person she admired, the girl, who was deep in thought, was startled awake. When she met the person's gaze, her tense cheeks suddenly softened and blushed slightly.

"It's possible..."

Her answer was quick and delicate, a stark contrast to her previous tomboyish demeanor.

Outsiders couldn't help but wonder if the girl, who had been in a daze just a second ago, had actually heard the question, or if she had simply agreed unconditionally because the questioner was the Shennong Physician.

"But I'm sorry, my room isn't as comfortable as the houses you live in in town. It's not much different from Teacher Shennong's residence."

"If you don't mind, then come with me."

However, Yu Liu's daze was only momentary. She quickly snapped out of that gentle state and, noticing Ying's obvious social standing, added with a hint of sarcasm.

When asked about this, Hotaru clearly showed a momentary sense of bewilderment.

It wasn't that he disliked the predictable and simple place to settle down, but rather that he felt he could only rely on his master when he suddenly found himself in such an extremely unfamiliar environment. As for the other outsiders, they were not people he could easily trust.

Especially since she was also a girl, she could clearly sense that the other party didn't seem to welcome her arrival.

So Ying didn't answer, but looked directly at her master beside her, seeking his opinion.

"As for accommodation, it doesn't matter where a ninja is."

"Besides, we didn't come here specifically to stay overnight."

"If it is convenient, I would prefer that Your Excellency Shennong listen to my request first."

If this place were only limited to Shennong alone, Huang would naturally not care about Ying's movements.

However, once he became aware of some shady dealings among the local residents, he could no longer allow his young apprentice, who lacked the ability to protect himself, to move around freely.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, who knows what crazy thing that old guy, Yi Zhi Xing Zhe, might do?

The being that Hiruzen Sarutobi took notice of and made an agreement with must be no ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, Ying's uneasy heart calmed down instantly, and even her reply of "yes" sounded relaxed.

Yu Liu naturally had no complaints or burdens.

Because she never intended to properly entertain these two strangers.

But the fleeting gloom in Shennong's eyes was rather intriguing.

"That's it,"

"Alright then, please come inside."

However, he still extended the invitation discreetly.

"It's getting late, Yu Liu, you should go back and rest early too."

At the same time, he spoke in a kind voice to the girl who had followed him all the way.

"I,"
