At night, when the sky was already dark, a house in Long Ren Village was still brightly lit.
There were many dishes on a long table, and bottles and jars were either upside down or standing on the table.
The reason why it was so lively was because of the arrival of people.
It was obvious from Selai's behavior. As soon as he got on the table, he was already drinking with the ninjas of Takinobu Village. It gave him a headache.
He had instructed him, Changmen, and Xiaonan not to drink. Firstly, it was because they did not know how to drink, and secondly, it was because they had to be wary of others. Now that there was a third condition, it meant that he would not be able to walk today.
Perhaps only drunk people would show their true feelings. Since Lai Lai was a little talkative today. As a member of Ninja Realm, Deepwood asked curiously,""Lord Kiraiya, can you tell us about the Second War of the Ninja Realm?”
Zilai Ye's cheeks were flushed red, and his eyes had long been narrowed into a line. He leaned against the table and recalled the last battle." Everyone says that we are the genius Sanren, but they don't know. In the last battle, we met Shanjiao Fish Hanzo.”
"In the end, the three of them were defeated by him.”
Zilai Ye's words caused a wave of exclamations.
"What happened after that?"
At this moment, Zilai suddenly fell asleep on the table.
He thought that this was the perfect time to sleep. However, how could a shameless and wretched person let go of such an opportunity?
He continued to answer Deepwood's question to everyone who was curious." Later, Shanjiao Hanzo cherished the young and promising Sanren, so he let them go.”
It was no wonder that Zilai was really drunk. He definitely couldn't say such an embarrassing thing himself. However, he was a wretched person. Since he dared to sell out his dirty laundry, he naturally had a motive.
He picked up a mouthful of food and casually put it in his mouth to chew. With the chopsticks in his hand and the expression on his face, he asked naturally," Master Deepwood, tell us about the infiltration of customs."”
Deep Wood felt strange. The Wood people had only been here for a short while, so how did they know that their custom was called water leakage? However, on second thought, this was not a secret in the village, and it was not something that needed to be hidden.
Therefore, he put down his unfinished glass and said,""Our ancestors created this custom a long time ago. On the surface, it meant infiltration, but in fact, it was a kind of sarcasm and warning.”
Other than Selaiya, everyone else was listening attentively. Even Yahiko, who was also drinking, did not get drunk.
"Speaking of this, let's talk about the Hero's Water first. Since you know about the Hero's Water, you must know about its side effects?”
" Yes." He nodded." It will overdraw the life of the human body and even cause death.
" In order to defend against strong enemies, the village often needs to rely on the efficacy of the Hero's Water to increase their strength," Deepwood continued sadly." Therefore, many people have been sacrificed. The custom of water infiltration was born for this reason.”
He guessed something and waited for the other party to continue.
"The Hero's Water is like water seeping into the five internal organs of a person, eroding their life and causing them to die. In order to ensure the survival of the village, the ancestors decided to select people who are suitable to drink the Hero's Water as backup. Those who drink the Hero's Water and die immediately will not be considered, unless…"
"Unless the village is in a life-and-death situation.”" If your village really encounters a strong enemy, Kimura will definitely not sit idly by. Please rest assured, you and the villagers."”
Deepwood and the others who were almost drunk were touched. They bowed slightly to express their gratitude.
He sighed in his heart. Damn it, even being a charlatan could earn him gratitude. He was still studying so hard. Who was the one who put the cart before the horse?
"But I'm a little curious. How did you choose or see who was suitable to take the Hero's Water?”He remembered that Shemu had not died after drinking the Hero's Water, so he could understand the intention of this custom in the village. However, this was not the modern world. Could there be instruments that could measure the functional data of the human body?
When he mentioned this, the crowd paused for a moment. Deepwood deliberately raised his glass to cover up the awkwardness of not wanting to answer, taking in the strange atmosphere.
He wondered if there was some treasure hidden in this village! Just like the heart of the tree in the Grass Nation's Grass Temple!
His face was expressionless, but his mind was spinning.
At this time, the key figure appeared again, but Yahiko was still drinking in a daze. She was so angry that she stomped on his foot under the table.
Yahiko immediately spilled all the wine in his glass on the table in pain.
He quickly wiped it and accused,"Yaehiko! Don't be rude. Can't you see that Lord Deepwood is definitely unwilling to say it because he has scruples? We're just outsiders. Why are you throwing a tantrum?”
He then turned to look at Mr. Deepwood and smiled apologetically." Mr. Deepwood, I'm sorry." Young people were simple and straightforward.”
Meanwhile, the innocent Yaehiko still did not understand what had happened. First, he was stepped on, then he was accused for no reason. In addition, he was even more drunk.
Seeing that the situation still needed to be heated up, he once again said to the half-asleep Yahiko,""Yahiko, you must remember this. No one in this world is willing to give up for free. Even if we have helped Takinobu Village, we can't use this to threaten them. This is the behavior of a villain, and it is something that Kimura is not ashamed of!”His words were more like sarcasm, blaming the other party.
Yaehiko listened in confusion, thinking, I'm not from Kimura.
"Yes, if it wasn't for us. Shui Yun had probably dragged a group of outsiders to burn, kill, and plunder here. However, Takinobu Village had a hero like Mr. Deepwood who was willing to sacrifice for the village, so it was impossible for them to be threatened. Moreover, look at all these people here. They are all ninja elites. How can those little rascals spy on them?”
His words made all the people of Long Ren Village excited and proud.
Deepwood felt even more embarrassed. He didn't expect the third generation Naruto's brother to have such a high opinion of them. However, he directly filtered out the unpleasant words.
"This is a secret of the village. However, you have done the village a favor, so you are no longer outsiders.”
Seeing that there was a chance, he was extremely excited. He quickly picked up the wine glass politely and swirled it around before drinking it in one gulp. He thought, Even if I'm dead drunk, it's worth it to get this secret, though I don't know what it is yet. But seeing how tightly guarded they were, it must be something good.”
"You should have seen the big waterfall outside the village, right?”
He nodded, wondering if there was something mysterious about the waterfall.
