Chapter 31: Coming to the Moon
Ever since Starshadow's death, the entire village has been plunged into a strange sense of unease. At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the inhabitants of the village had already fallen asleep at this time of the year, but now most of them looked out the window restlessly.
Ninjas with forehead guards patrol the road with torches in their hands. The three generations of the deceased Star Shadow were 100 years old, and they had been managing the village for so long that it was almost forgotten. The shock caused by his death in the Star Ninja Village was unimaginable.
Yagamiki stood on the top of a mountain, his sleeves rattling in the cold mountain wind. He frowned slightly and observed the Star Ninja Village in the distance.
Viewed from the mountain, the interior of the Star Ninja Village is full of floating shining points of light.
"The vigilance was strong, but I didn't have much time. Yagami Qi's face showed a helpless smile: "I didn't expect it to be just in time for Xingying to be killed." When I first entered the ninja village, I was alarmed by the upper ninja again. It's just that the world is unpredictable. The Star Ninja Village can only force its way through. ”
Smail had already gone to bed as early as nine o'clock. Before that, he practiced the peacock magic method for two hours, physically and mentally exhausted, but he tossed and turned and could not sleep.
One reason is because he misses three generations of Star Shadow, and that kind old man loves Smael like his own grandson. The death of a loved one brings tears to his eyes when he thinks about it.
The other reason was because of the edema-like pain in the body illuminated by the cultivation of the cultivation star. Today, Smal, who had gone awry, would even have a pain when he turned over on the bed, and the swelling and pain would gradually subside until three days later. This is the fourth time Smal has encountered this situation, so he has gotten used to it.
Since he couldn't sleep, Miles simply sat on his bed and looked up at the sky. At this time, there are a few thin white clouds floating in the night sky, a large full moon hanging in the middle of the sky, and a few micro stars dotted in the corners.
When people look up at the night sky, they always have many strange thoughts, and this is also true of Smail. There is also a legend in the Star Ninja Village that for every hero who dies on the ground, a star will light up in the sky.
Those twinkling stars are the gazes of departed people looking back at their loved ones in heaven.
"Dad and three generations of grandpa, are you really looking at me? I'll practice well. Smail, who felt the cold, picked up the quilt and wrapped his body again.
The stars in the sky shine brightly, and so do the eyes of the children on the earth when they look at the stars.
Maybe it's because he's been watching it for too long, Smaer grew up and watched in a daze as a man in white stepped on the moon in the moon!
"Found it. ”
Smaer only heard a voice as warm as jade, a finger to the center of his eyebrows, and his consciousness slowly fell into a blur.
The birds in the treetops of the courtyard chirped crisply, and the breeze blew through the windows on the sleeping Smael's face, and his eyes trembled like new leaves.
"Is that reality or a dream?" Smail, who was gradually waking up, couldn't figure out whether what was happening in his memory was real or a dream. It is more illusory than reality, and more real than dreams.
"Wake up Smail, breakfast is ready. ”
Downstairs came the sound of her mother's cry, and Miles got up quickly, folded the quilt again, and went downstairs.
"Good morning mom. ”
"Good morning, Smail. Are you feeling better? Summerstar stretched out a palm and gently covered Madsle's forehead.
"Much better, Mom. In fact, Smael still felt a throbbing pain in his head.
Xia Rixing sent his son to the door, watched his son walk for a while, and then gently closed the door. There was a soft, muffled sound as the door clashed against the frame. Summer Star lowered her head slightly, and the gentle look in her eyes gradually faded and became firm and sharp. Walking to the dishwasher, Xia Rixing turned on the faucet, the water slowly washed down to bring a slightly cool feeling, and the foam gradually grew on the palm of his hand. Summer Star began to wash the dishes, pondering a secret that could not be revealed.
Anti-Star Cultivation Alliance. As the name suggests, it is a secret organization formed by ninjas in the ninja village who oppose star cultivation. Because Summer Star is the strongest and full of affinity, she became the organizer of this organization.
Externally, this organization is just a tea party for housewives to discuss dishes.
The task of the organization is very simple, either subtle or fiercely opposed, no matter what form they use, they have to convince their relatives and friends around them to let the children give up the practice of star cultivation and turn to ordinary ninja training.
Convincing the three generations of Star Shadow is the biggest achievement of this organization. The method they use is simply to express their true grief in front of the eyes of the elderly, who are becoming more and more benevolent as they age.
Now that the results of the battle have been quietly annihilated in an assassination attempt, they have once again converged in a secret stronghold.
"It seems that Akashi is going to continue the children's star training. With a sigh, a middle-aged woman with silver hair had grown.
"Of course, he has always been a staunch opponent of the abolition of star practice. A middle-aged man pursed his lips with a sad face. He continued to curse in a low voice, "Damn, ignoring the orders of the three generations of Star Shadows. ”
"That being said, but Starshadow-sama didn't give a formal order after all. The newly joined middle-aged man said. He was dragged into this organization by a child.
Facing everyone's turning eyes, he swallowed his saliva and continued. "After all, star cultivation is the foundation of the ninja village, a tradition that has lasted for a hundred years. His voice grew lower and lower, and finally he spit out weakly, "And there are many more people in the ninja village who support continuing star cultivation than us. Even the kids ????."
"It's just a passion, and I don't take my life seriously. It's just a kid chasing a dream of nothingness. The emaciated woman who spoke first said, her voice tinged with tears.
"Orihime, that stupid girl, her body is obviously dying. You know, now she can only eat that little bit of food at a time? In the middle of the night, I would be so painful that I didn't dare to scream out on the sheets, and my heart as a mother hurt like being cut by a knife. ”
After the tears, the deep-set eye sockets suddenly showed a crazy color. She lowered her voice, her loose bangs creating a cloud.
"Otherwise, let's kill Akashi. Kill Akashi and give Summer Star the position of Star Shadow. There was no wind in the room, but the gloomy sound made everyone sitting around shiver!
No one denied it, and everyone's hearts also beat slightly with this sentence, or turned their faces, or with their spare eyes, they observed the face of the summer star led by them.
Summer Star shook her head slightly. The momentary pause was not moved by this sentence and thought, killing the ninjas of the ninja village to achieve the purpose of protecting the child, this kind of means is not acceptable to the kind Summer Star.
Besides, Maxel, who is very talented, will probably eventually complete the cultivation of star cultivation. In the bottom of my heart, Summer Star thinks so.
The moment the woman came up with the idea, the first thought that came to the mind of Summer Star was.
"Will Akashi do this!"
As a teammate of Akastar for a while, Summer Star certainly knows Akastar very well. Even before Hotaru Mars died, Akashi had been Hotaru Mars' best friend.
Xia Rixing understood how much Akashi loved this ninja village, and in order to let the child insist on star cultivation, he even forced his own child to death.
"There's no way he's going to kill Starshadow to stop Starshadow from abolishing Starshadow's cultivation. Faintly, Summer Star felt that he was close to the truth.
Once he noticed something crucial, some clues were connected, and Akashi gradually became suspicious.
On the day of Xingying's death, Akashi met Xingying. Although the mysterious man who came to attack was strong enough, Xia Rixing, who had fought with the mysterious man, felt that he was also limited in strength.
It was impossible for him to kill the strongest in the ninja village silently, and besides, there were ninjas secretly protecting Xingying by his side.
In fact, Summer Star believes that unless Konoha sends a team of elite shadows, there is no other force that can kill Star Shadow silently.
"We'd better ・・・・・・ next," after a moment of contemplation, Summer Star offered his own suggestion.
At the same time, she also made up her mind.
Pursue the truth, or gather evidence!
