Naruto: Accidentally Unlocking a Fantasy Era

I walked to the table, poured myself a cup of tea, and just as I brought the cup to my lips...

"You still have the mind to drink tea?"

A voice suddenly came.

He spat out all the tea in his mouth with a "pfft".

They hurriedly lit the oil lamp.

The light illuminated the three extra people in the room.

Jin stood at the door with his arms crossed, watching him. Kushina hung upside down from the rafters, and Minato Namikaze stood at the window, blocking his escape route.

"What brings you three ninjas so late at night?"

The village chief forced a smile.

But seeing the three ninjas' expressionless faces, he couldn't laugh anymore.

They don't seem to have any good intentions.

"My lords, if you wish to acquire wealth, our village is not wealthy, but we will do our best to collect it for you."

"The village chief said in a panic."

His trembling eyes resembled those of a commoner forced to hand over money by ninjas.

"Are you still pretending?"

Jin gave a cold laugh.

Even Kushina was persuaded, but Minato Namikaze and Kin Uchiha remained unmoved.

Kushina is the type of person who will truly believe you if you're pitiful enough.

Minato Namikaze is not careless about important matters.

"You're the one who leaked our whereabouts to the Iwa ninja, aren't you?"

Jin didn't try to hide anything and directly questioned him.

"Your Honor, I'm innocent! I know nothing about this."

The village chief knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, his head banging against the ground repeatedly. He was utterly innocent.

"What Iwa ninja? I've never even seen one before."

The village chief wailed.

Jin walked up to the village chief, squatted down, and began to speak slowly.

"I was very confused from the beginning. Why did you all stay in such a crucial position?"

"Because of that."

"Don't try to fob me off with those words."

Jin interrupted the village chief.

"Ninjas don't care whether you live or die, you should understand that."

In the wars of the ninja world, it is always the civilians who suffer the most, a sin that the ninjas cannot erase.

The fact that ninjas, who were few in number during the Warring States period, accounted for half the death rate of ordinary people shows how the ninjas viewed ordinary people.

This argument remains unchanged even now.

Ninjas don't care about the lives of civilians in their battles.

"For a village to survive here, the ninjas must have certain requirements for this place. Since you cannot provide ninjutsu or money, you can only provide intelligence."

"Among the five great ninja villages, Konoha is the best to its own people. So under normal circumstances, Konoha will not drive away or exterminate the villagers of the Land of Fire, which is why it provided the foundation for you to stay."

"Based on this, how could Takigakure, Kusagakure, or even Iwagakure possibly let you go?"

At such a crucial point, other ninja villages naturally had no reason to leave them behind.

Whoever occupies this place will have the advantage of taking the initiative. However, they may not be able to withstand Konoha's counterattack, but it is still better than giving it to someone else.

"There is only one way to get them to let you go."

Jin's face darkened.

"Leaking information about Konoha ninjas."

"Your enthusiasm stems from your desire to contact ninjas, learn more information, and then sell it to people in other ninja villages."

"The so-called wandering ninjas you speak of are actually those who are dissatisfied with the other party's offer. You use this to attract Konoha scouts as a threat to coerce them into offering a higher price."

With Jin's explanation, Kushina also figured out the details.

"The main reason those Iwa ninja attacked the village was because they didn't have enough money, so they looted several other villages instead!"

"After they had enough money, you immediately handed over our whereabouts to the Iwa ninja."

Minato Namikaze will be added later.

As for what other information the other party traded, that's beyond the comprehension of the three men.

This village directly sells information about Konoha ninjas at a fixed price.

In order to amass wealth, they also swindled several nearby villages.

After Jin's analysis, the village chief resigned himself to his fate.

"We just want to live! What's wrong with that!" the village chief roared angrily.

"This is our home. Why should you ninjas be allowed to destroy it with impunity? If you can destroy our home, why can't we use you to save our lives?"

This left Jin speechless, and as for relocating the village, that was impossible.

The Daimyo Prefecture issued a law called the Land Law, which requires commoners to protect the land given to them by the Land of Fire.

They are not allowed to leave without permission.

This regulation was somewhat related to the early days of the ninja village. Jin estimated that it was initially intended to restrict ninjas, but unfortunately, it failed to do so.

Ultimately, this limited the chances of survival for all civilians on the battlefield.

"Then you shouldn't have let the Iwa ninja harm other villages," Kushina rebuked angrily.

She still has nightmares about the terrible state of that village.

"We just want to survive," the village chief repeated, head bowed.

At least he felt guilty towards the villages that died at the hands of ninjas.

"Unfortunately, you won't survive."

Jin shook his head and sighed. Although he wanted to get revenge, these people were, in a way, forced into this situation.

He wouldn't stoop to arguing with a bunch of dead people.

"What do you mean?"

The village chief raised his head, his face contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot.

"Do you really think there's no consequence to betraying Konoha?"

Jin shook his head and sighed.

After glancing at the somber faces of Minato and Kushina, the two understood what fate awaited this village.

"Leave the others alone, and come at me for everything!"

The village chief hurriedly tried to grab Jin, but Jin kicked him in the face, sending him crashing into the wall.

"You can't handle it."

Jin shook his head, opened the door, and looked outside.

"They have arrived by now."

Before they arrived in the village, they had Minato Namikaze send the message back using reverse spirit communication.

The sun peeked over the mountains.

A sliver of light illuminated the woods on the edge of the village.

Ninjas dressed in green vests stood on tree branches, looking down over the entire village.

A woman with patterned features, crouching on a black wolfhound, licked her black fingernails with her tongue.

"Leave no one behind!"

"kill!"

The massacre began.

The newly appointed sentry post in Konoha.

In a secluded jungle.

Jin was inside the mission tent, taking out scrolls one by one.

"King, what are you doing?" Minato Namikaze asked, looking puzzled.

"Of course, it's to exchange for battle merits."

Jin pushed the scrolls to the recording staff. He was a little dumbfounded when he saw them. There weren't many scrolls, but they were all newly created ninjutsu.

But this is a frontline outpost, not the village's ninjutsu research lab.

How do I earn battle merits here?

"Can't you change it?"

Jin asked the staff out of curiosity.

"Yes, but it needs to be sent back to the village first so that the villagers can rate it."

The staff member forced a smile. He had seen many people exchange bloody heads for battle merits, but this was the first time he had seen someone exchange ninjutsu for them. The key point was that villages could be exchanged.

outrageous.

Minato Namikaze stood by, dumbfounded, his eyes filled with envy at the sheer number of ninjutsu techniques he saw.

"These are all useless. If you want to learn, I have a catalog where you can choose whatever you like."
