Chapter 16: War
"I'm back, Red Lotus. ”
"I'm back. ”
Holding his body that was a head taller than himself, stroking the long blue and purple hair of the red lotus, Yagami muttered.
"Why, why not earlier. Red Lotus's voice was as weak as her body.
"I'm sorry. Yagamiki didn't know what to say.
"Daddy is dead, and so is Mom. ”
"I know, I know, I'm sorry. Yagamiki could only repeat.
"Come on, the girl in the crystal is out. Around the corner, the samurai, who was running in a hurry, saw the scene in front of him.
He didn't dare to approach, he knew that the girl had terrible fighting power, and he stood in front of him with a sword and waited for the other samurai.
"Go, go for revenge, Red Lotus. I've got everything ready for you. Gently stroking the back of the red lotus, Yagamiki's hand emitted a brilliant blue light. He's replenishing the chakra to Red Lotus and repair her injuries.
Gently pushing Yagami away, Red Lotus staggered to its feet. Her face was still stained with tears, and her blue-purple hair was sticky to her forehead.
Swallowing his saliva fiercely, in the face of such a little girl, the samurai felt an inexplicable pressure. His knife trembled.
Ah~ He didn't resist the pressure, put the knife on his waist and stabbed straight at the charge!
Red Lotus's hand condensed pink crystal thorns, gently parryed the katana, and stabbed obliquely through the samurai's jaw by the difference in height, piercing through the samurai's skull.
Letting go of the crystal thorn, the red lotus condensed the new crystal thorn with both hands, and disappeared around the corner with a limp.
"Shirahoshi, please keep up with her. ”
"Well, I'll take care of Little Red Lotus. The thin white snake swam down from Yagamiki's cuffs and quickly caught up with the girl.
With a light leap onto the roof, Yagamiki watched the situation of the samurai.
People kept falling, half because Bai Xing's poison was gradually attacking, and half because Red Lotus had gone crazy.
The first samurai didn't even realize that the girl was rushing towards him, and before he could let out a scream, he was pierced through the chest by the crystal.
Then there was a group of samurai, they waited for them, but unfortunately it was useless, sharp crystal pierced their bodies, like special works of art, pale red crystals pierced their bodies and fixed them in strange positions. Pale powder was constantly wafting out of their bodies, it was crystallized blood.
Without a pause, Red Lotus leapt to the next target.
Ten minutes later, there was not a single samurai standing in the village.
When Red Lotus raised the crystal thorn and tried to kill the sleeping samurai, Yagamiki, who had been following Red Lotus, jumped off the roof. Bending down to dodge the crystal stab that Red Lotus subconsciously stabbed, Yagamiki grabbed Red Lotus's wrist.
"Red Lotus, they drink the poison of the white star, and they will sleep in sweet dreams. It's too cheap to kill them in a dream like that. ”
"You go take care of the survivors first. I'll leave it to me here. ”
As if he had come to his senses, the crystal thorns in his hands turned into pale pink powder in the wind. Red Lotus nodded, looking for the survivors.
Yagamiki saw many people he knew lying on the ground, and even the uncle who had been selling his apples, his face was grim, a hideous scar snaking through it, and his flesh turned out to reveal white muscles. They will never wake up again.
One by one, Yagami tied up the samurai and moved them to a place where there was a fruity apple tree, and the red apples hung from the treetops, swaying in the wind.
Yagamiki is preparing a ritual.
Red Lotus is gathering the survivors, mostly children, who have been hidden in a safe place by their parents. Then there were the women, who were left behind for the venting and revelry of the samurai after the war. Again the old men, they are less threatening and have no time to clean up and be left behind. There were no men, and the men were all killed in battle. But Yagamiki saw a man with his eyelids cut off and looking at him with bare eyeballs. He was dressed in a samurai suit, his clothes were congealing with black-red blood, and flies were buzzing around him, and he seemed to be called Yagyu Kazuki was the only three samurai in the village, and Yagamiki had met him several times.
I had the impression of a sunny teenager, but now he looks like a demon crawling out of hell. Yagamiki sat on the treetops, tossing apples one after another, grinning in an indescribable way.
War!
When the last samurai woke up slightly, he saw the frightened faces of his colleagues. In front of him were the angry villagers of the village he had just ravaged.
"It's time to go. He heard someone in the tree say that his voice was childish, probably a child.
Katz~
Yagami took a bite of the apple.
No one thought that it was the crying child who did it first. He screamed and rushed at the samurai, smashing the stone one after another, blood splattering, and his brain exposing his skull, but he still didn't stop.
Kaz~
She was followed by a woman who had just been abused, who had just lost her husband, and who was smashing and crying with a wooden stick for washing clothes.
Kaz~
At the end was the old man who was faltering, he was too old to walk. So much so that he fell behind the people who were running in front of him, and he raised his crutches tremblingly, beating slowly, panting fiercely. He lost the most, he lost his son, daughter-in-law, grandson of the full moon.
Yagami has already eaten ten apples, and the crazy people still haven't stopped. Now, not a single samurai is left alive.
The old man, who was hobbling with his steps, was so excited that he fainted and was not breathing.
It's time to stop, it's all over.
Jumping off the fruit tree, Yagami took a lot of effort to stop the villagers' actions.
"It's been a long time since I've seen my uncle!" Yagamiki said to Hoshino Maki's corpse, which had been nailed to the trunk with three knives.
He picked up Hoshino's two severed hands, placed them on Hoshino's arms, took out the usual needle and thread, and sewed the severed hands bit by bit.
After half a year of traveling in the war-torn country of Tano, the knowledge of medical ninjutsu in his mind was also put to use. Needles and threads that can repair clothes and sew wounds have become Yagamiki's regular equipment.
"Help people in need. Fight to the death for the people you are protecting behind you. Uncle, he's a real samurai. ”
Pulling out three katanas, Yagami gently put Hoshino Maki down.
The wind rose, the treetops rustled, and in the midst of the light and shadow, Yagamiki looked down at the familiar person.
"Get some sleep, uncle, maybe we'll see each other again. ”
Carrying Hoshino Maki on his back, Yagami Qi walked towards the village.
The Hoshino family, Red Lotus had already placed the body of Mrs. Hoshino, and Yagamiki, who was carrying Hoshino Maki on his back, put down Hoshino Makaki's body and put them together.
In the room, Yagamiki saw Yagyu Kazuki, who looked like a demon. Yagami nodded lightly at him.
Crystal Red Fruit!
Red Lotus performs ninjutsu.
The bodies of Hoshino Maki and Lady Hoshino and a middle-aged samurai were condensed in pale pink crystals. Yagami sighed, unfolded the scroll of the spatial seal, and put away the crystal.
"Thank you. After seeing all this, Yagyu Kazuki said in a hoarse voice.
"Your father, like Uncle Hoshino, was a great samurai. ”
"Yes, he is. Yagyu Kazuki said in a hoarse voice. He stiffened, as if he had made up his mind. He knelt upright, held his knife horizontally in front of him, lowered his head, and touched the ground with his forehead.
Yagamiki had seen it in a book. It was a ceremony for the samurai to swear allegiance.
"Please let me follow you, Lord Yagami. ”
"I accept your allegiance. ”
The samurai, with his head down, saw the bright blue light, and his eyes, which had been dry, finally became comfortable.
"I'm helping you treat your eyes, and I'll ask Honglian to make you a crystal goggle later, so you'll be blind." ”
At night, Yagamiki heard the cry, softly, suppressed, as if trying to keep himself from crying.
Yagamiki climbed onto the roof, and Red Lotus hugged her knees and buried herself in the crook of her legs.
He didn't say anything, walked over to the red lotus, and sat quietly.
Red Lotus finally stopped crying and sobbed. Shoulders shook and shook.
"Take me away. Don't leave me behind this time. Now, I'm the only one left. ”
