Naruto the Genius

Chapter 47 Thief
Naruto was going to stay in the village for two more days before leaving. Although it was nice to experience this kind of life occasionally, Naruto still had his own things to do. However, one day Naruto found that Heiwa's parents looked strange. Although they were still very polite to Naruto, they seemed to be worried. At night, Naruto and Heiwa were at home, and the two adults quietly went out to avoid Naruto.

Naruto felt something was wrong, so he sent a clone to stay at home with Heiwa, and he followed them quietly. Along the way, Naruto found that more and more villagers were gathering towards the center of the village. Naruto followed them all the way to a square in the center of the village. Naruto, who was hiding with earth escape, found that almost all the adults in the village had gathered, and it looked like something big was going to happen.

An old man called the village chief stood up and shouted, "Fellow villagers, the bandits in the mountain stronghold downstream of the river sent a declaration of war to the village chief's home yesterday, demanding that we hand over a thousand dan of grain and a hundred livestock as protection money, otherwise they will attack us."

An old man stood up and said, "Can't we report it to the police? Let's report it to the police and make them pay for what they have done."

The village chief sighed and said, "We have already reported the matter to the authorities, but now that the daimyo has been killed, the authorities have no time to deal with these matters. This group of bandits saw this and are planning to take advantage of the situation to rob."

At this time, a woman stood up and said, "Since the government doesn't care, what else can we do? Once they come, we will all be doomed. Why not give them what they ask for?"

The village chief sighed and said, "Although the harvest this year is good, this group of thieves wants too much. Even if we give it to them this time, they will definitely come again next time. If this continues, we will all starve to death."

At this time, a young man stood up and said, "If that's the case, then we might as well fight them. We're going to die anyway, so why not take a few people with us."

An old man sighed and said, "These thieves are desperate criminals, and they have weapons in their hands. If a fight really breaks out, we will definitely be the ones who suffer."

At this time, the young man said: "The problem is that they have come to our door. We have to fight them, otherwise we will die."

For a moment, no one spoke. If they fought, they would not win. If they did not fight, they would just wait for death. At this time, the village chief was the village chief after all. He clenched his fist and shouted, "Defend our homeland and fight to the death." This immediately aroused the fighting spirit of the villagers, and they all shouted along.

"Defend our homeland and fight to the death."

"Defend our homeland and fight to the death."

Suddenly, the shouts shook the sky. Although they were boosted, everyone knew that the odds of winning were slim, and fighting to the death was the only option. Naruto had been hiding in the dark. After the villagers discussed how to deal with the thieves, they began to disperse, and Naruto quickly returned to Heiwa's home.

Naruto stayed at home for a while, and Heiwa's parents also returned home. Seeing that Naruto had not rested yet, Heiwa's father Shanmu came over and said to Naruto: "Mr. Huangtu, I'm so sorry. We are going to go to Heiwa's grandmother's house early tomorrow morning, so it's not convenient to host you here. If you think this place is good, we will welcome you next time." Naruto knew that Shanmu was afraid that the robbery would implicate him, but he didn't say it out loud. He just pretended: "Oh, if that's the case, then I won't bother you any more. I'll take a boat home tomorrow. Come back next time when you have time."

That night, Naruto knew that all the villagers could not sleep well. Naruto was also thinking that although he did not bring this group of robbers here, this incident was more or less caused by him. In addition, he had some feelings for this village, so it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch.

The next morning, Naruto pretended to say goodbye and go home, but in fact he just returned to his boat and kept an eye on the village. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Naruto found that a large number of boats began to approach the shore, and a group of thieves with no less than a hundred people began to land, all holding big knives in their hands, led by a man with a scar on his face. Naruto quietly followed this group of people and began to approach the village.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Naruto found that in just half a day, the village entrance had been built with fortifications. The villagers were hiding behind the fortifications with hoes, sticks and the like. Seeing this, the scarred man in the lead shouted, "It seems that you are ungrateful and want to go against me. In the past, the government was meddling in our affairs, but now the government itself is too busy, let alone you. I think you should just do what I say. Otherwise, my sword will not have eyes."

Naruto noticed that the young men of the villagers were standing in front holding homemade weapons, while the women hid behind with their children, including the familiar black boy. The children had never seen such a battle, and their eyes were full of fear as they hid behind their parents.

The robbers' words did not shake the village chief's mind. The village chief shouted: "I will die anyway. At worst, I will fight you. If you have the guts, come over. No one here is afraid of death."

The scarred man didn't expect the village chief to be so tough. This was the first village he had extorted. He had thought the villagers here were kind, but suddenly he felt it was a bit tricky. However, when he saw the weapons in the villagers' hands, he suddenly laughed and said, "You guys want to go against me? I'll show you how powerful I am."

After saying that, the scarred man gave the order to attack. The fortifications built by the villagers were simply vulnerable to the attack of the robbers and were quickly broken by the robbers. Naruto noticed that the woman had already started to escape with the child, and the black child had a complicated look in his eyes while running away.

At this moment, "Earth escape, earth flow wall" a wall of earth blocked the robbers' way. Naruto jumped on the wall of earth and said, "Get out of here quickly, otherwise you will all die here."

The scarred man saw Naruto could perform ninjutsu and knew that Naruto was a ninja, so he frowned slightly, but felt that he had more people and should be able to capture Naruto at a certain price. The villagers were already defeated by the robbers, and when they saw Naruto, they regarded him as a savior and hoped that Naruto could defeat the thieves. Heiwa also recognized Naruto when he saw him, and it was his uncle Huangtu.

The scarred man ordered: "Brothers, he is alone, so what if he is a ninja, let's kill him together." Then all the thieves rushed towards Naruto, and Naruto began to form hand seals "Earth escape, Earth Flow River" and "Earth escape, Earth Flow Spear". These are two ninjutsu with a larger range. After two moves, all the robbers who rushed towards Naruto were killed. The robbers were all ordinary people, and were no match for the ninja.

The scarred man saw his subordinate being killed instantly by Naruto, knowing Naruto's strength, he turned and ran, but was killed by Naruto with one punch. All of this was seen by the villagers, and Naruto instantly became a hero in the eyes of the villagers. The enthusiastic villagers held a banquet for Naruto, and all kinds of friendly hospitality were not to be mentioned. Naruto felt funny in his heart, because he was the most wanted criminal in the Land of Earth.
