Konoha Hypocrite - Chapter 422: Ancient Time
The next day.
Dawn, like a sharp sword, split open the silent night and welcomed the rising sun.
In order to avoid the sealing spell in the underground laboratory affecting the space-time travel, as well as the possible movements caused by the space-time travel would attract the attention of Konoha’s Ninjas.
Uchiha Tunan brought Karasuki to the top of the mountain not far from the Valley of Eradication.
“The above is the time-travel point. Please choose the time when you are about to cross.”
“Friend, tell it that I am going to the most prosperous age of the human civilization in the world before the divine tree descends.”
….
A wisp of golden light covered the outline of the mountain range.
In the golden light, a white brilliance flashed and disappeared.
Time: Ancient Era.
“Liiii!”
The ferocious bird’s cry cut through the blue sky.
This vicious bird had the shape of an eagle, and its wings were like the wings of the heavens. It dove down and entered the sea of clouds below.
It moved according to the bird’s perspective.
The rolling Cloud flow rolled over the mountains, straight into the deep valley, like a waterfall of flowing water, majestic and magnificent.
Below the Cloud flow Empire, there was a primeval forest that was thick green to the point of turning black, endless as far as the eye could see.
Towering giant trees were everywhere, making it impossible to tell where the mountain was below.
In this primitive forest, a village made of straw and bamboo wood sat on the shallow shore of the river.
“Crash —”
The green river surface rippled slightly.
In the sky full of white clouds, sunlight occasionally passed through the clouds and fell on the mirror-like surface of the river, shining like pearls and agate.
Beside the river, a man and a woman sat side by side.
Looking at their age, they were probably only twelve or thirteen years old.
In this era,
They were already qualified adults.
The man was called Shokaku, the only son of the village chief.
The woman was called Koyu, an ordinary villager, but her appearance was quite beautiful.
As for the surname, there were no villagers relevant enough to have a surname here.
However, if there were people who occasionally went out and met humans from other places, they would add a label in front of their names.
For example, when the people of this village introduced themselves to outsiders, they would add the word “Kawa”.
The boy named Shokaku was bare-chested, with beast skin around his waist. He sat cross-legged on the ground and said casually, “Father said that he would give me a metal blade when I get married.”
Koyu hugged her knees with both hands. When she heard the word “metal blade”, her eyes lit up slightly and she said weakly, “Good. I’m so envious.”
In this backward era, especially this kind of village that sat in the deep mountains, most adults used bone objects and stone tools to hunt.
The preciousness of metal was self-evident.
Koyu’s performance made Shokaku’s vanity greatly satisfied.
Perhaps the young people were too direct, or perhaps the people of this era did not know how to hide.
Shokaku raised his head slightly and looked at the river in front of him in high spirits.
“When I grow up a little more, I can go to the outside world and find a powerful warrior to acknowledge as my master. In the future, I can also become a powerful warrior.”
“Good.. So powerful.” Koyu was really envious.
She had only heard the word ‘warrior’ from the elders in the village.
Every warrior had a knife and was powerful enough to kill monsters.
Monsters were powerful to a certain extent, and they had beasts that were not inferior to the wisdom of humans.
The two of them chatted idly.
Most of the time, Shokaku was showing off and Koyu was envious.
After an unknown period of time, Shokaku, who had been showing off, suddenly felt a little dull. Only then did he remember today’s business.
Shokaku glanced at Koyu from the corner of his eye and suddenly asked,
“Come to think of it, you should get married.
If you don’t get married, you can only wait for the distribution.
If your luck is bad, it will be bad to give it to the old man in the village. ”
When Koyu heard this, she looked at Shokaku beside her with a weak face.
When Shokaku saw the other person’s gaze move, he instinctively retracted his gaze and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Koyu pursed her lips, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. Her tears were crystal clear, and she buried her head between her knees.
Shokaku saw this and looked slightly flustered, but he still pretended to be calm.
“If you really don’t know who to choose, as a friend, I can actually help you.
Coincidentally… I… ”
As Shokaku finished speaking, his words could not be shaken.
He held it in for a long time and did not finish his sentence.
Koyu waited quietly for a while before getting up to leave.
Just as Koyu turned around, Shokaku subconsciously grabbed Koyu’s wrist.
Just like that, the young and cute young boys and girls seemed to be shocked by electricity and froze in place.
Shokaku lowered his head and covered his sweaty face with his long hair. He said coolly, “Where are you going?”
The side of Koyu’s face was flushed red.
Koyu replied in a mosquito-like voice, “I… Bath.”
“Gulp —” Shokaku swallowed a mouthful of saliva and retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Koyu immediately ran upstream along the river.
When Koyu’s figure disappeared from sight, Shokaku jumped up and looked at the hand that he had grabbed Koyu. He let out a silly laugh.
“Uh.. Hehe.”
At the upstream of the river was a waterfall that fell vertically along the steep cliff.
This mountain peak was a dead volcano. There were steep cliffs on all sides, and the top of the mountain was filled with hot springs that were scattered like stars in the sky.
In addition to the dense jungle on the top of the mountain and the lack of wild beasts, the women in the village liked to come here to take a bath.
Koyu came to the waterfall and grabbed the thick vines hanging down from the cliff. Its figure was vigorous as it climbed up.
It was clearly more than two thousand meters high, but it only took Koyu more than an hour to reach the top of the mountain.
The vast sea of clouds was on his body, but because there was a large amount of hot springs on the top of the mountain, it caused the fog to rise, making it impossible to see too far.
Koyu did not go straight to the hot spring closest to itself, but rather walked absent-mindedly through the dense forest shrouded in fog.
It was unknown how long she had walked.
“Crash —”
The sound of water splashing was heard.
Koyu stuck her body close to the tree trunk next to it. It reached into the animal skin on its chest and took out a sharp bone spike. It held its breath and listened attentively.
At this time, most of the villagers were busy.
Even if someone came to take a bath, most of them would be in the closest hot springs to the back of the mountain and would not run so far.
Could it be that a beast was drinking water?
In the face of a possible beast, the soft and weak Koyu did not panic in the slightest.
After all, there was a place where water and earth raised people. In this era, humans dealt with beasts every day, and the natural people were proficient in hunting.
Almost all the wild beasts in the village had already been eaten.
If one wanted to eat meat, other than the endless fish in the river, they could only run far away to hunt.
But there were unknown dangers in the distant places, and there was a possibility of encountering terrifying monsters.
Koyu stretched out its tongue and licked the saliva flowing out of the corner of its mouth.
Recently, I’ve been eating fish every day, so it’s time for me to change my taste.
“Crash —”
The vast white fog blocked his vision, and Koyu could only judge based on the sound.
Gradually, Koyu’s eyebrows gradually furrowed.
A wild beast shouldn’t be drinking water for so long. Could it be that some aunt from the village came to take a bath?
With this thought in mind, Koyu held the bone spike in her hand, lowered her body, and slowly walked towards the source of the sound.
Gradually, the surrounding white fog became thinner, and her vision became clearer.
Koyu found that she had already walked out of the jungle and arrived at the cliff on the other side.
Using the cover of the rugged rocks, Koyu sneakily poked its head out from between the gaps of the rocks.
The field of vision in front of them was wide, and there was a hot spring that occupied a large area. The edge of the hot spring was close to the cliff.
In the next moment, Koyu was completely stunned.
There was only one thought in her mind.
The original person’s skin could be so white and so good-looking.
He had long black hair, a strong back, and a handsome silhouette.
The man. The man….
The back did not seem to notice Koyu’s peeping.
His entire back was leaning against the edge of the hot spring, his elbow resting on the edge of the hot spring. He slightly clenched his fists and lazily supported his temples.
As he breathed, the mist that was blown up rolled over and over, and it was unknown if he was resting or admiring the sea of clouds in the distance.
Koyu’s cheeks were red, and she seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
The rationality in her brain told him that she should not continue watching at this time.
However, her instinct made him unable to move his body away, and her eyes became even more round.
A kind of inexplicable palpitation surged into her heart, and gradually nibbled away her reason.
Crash —
It was as if only an instant had passed.
The figure in the hot spring moved. He placed his hands on the edge of the spring and stood up.
There was no cover at all.
Koyu opened her mouth and felt a suffocating masculinity rush towards her.
Her nose felt hot, followed by a burst of dizziness.
The sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard.
A deep, magnetic whisper sounded from the foggy mountain top.
“A female primitive who is in the mating period.”
