Chapter 487: Cruelty
Jiraiya is back again, but it's not the end of the war, but to complete the mission and return to Konoha for a short rest, he asked Sos out for a drink, which makes Sos quite surprised, in memory, Jiraiya is not a person who likes to drink, when did he learn to drink?
A tavern on the bleak street, there are not many people in it, the lonely candle light illuminates the empty seats, if a few more lonely souls and wild ghosts sit down, then the whole picture is perfect, but unfortunately there are no lonely souls and wild ghosts, but there are two lonely people who have not been seen for a long time.
Soth is almost unclear about the relationship between himself and Jilai, friends? It seems that it is more than that, he brought it back when Jiraiya was young, the two have lived together for at least four or five years, they have known each other for so long, they can no longer be summed up as ordinary friends, but to say that they are brothers? But it doesn't seem to be so close.,Soth's character is not the type that will be very close to others.,This seems to be a little similar to Orochimaru.,Jiraiya used to think he was that kind of person.,But after a long time,,He found that Sos doesn't have the same ambition as Orochimaru.,He's like a dying old man who doesn't care about everything.,Every day he focuses on his own one-third of an acre.,Even when I learned ninjutsu with him was just for self-preservation.,Now that I've obtained a legal and legitimate identity.,I don't even practice.,This makes Jiraiya feel very pity.,He was sure that if Sos continued to practice ninjutsu,,Will be able to achieve better results than him. , Although he is now known as the Three Ninjas, but for the talent of Soth, how can he not know, that is the person who practiced with him at the beginning, to be honest, many of his ninjutsu are still taught by Soth.
"When will the war end?" Soth shook the yellow sake in the wine glass, the reflection of the candlelight made the wine look very sad, and the inexplicable sad instrument was played by someone who didn't know who was playing, and the sound actually came into the tavern, which provoked everyone to listen attentively, and only answered Soth after a while
"It's almost over, it's almost over. When he said this, he seemed to be a little excited, and he could see that he was tired of the war, and why wasn't Soss, yesterday he was in a spicy stall, and heard a thing that I don't know if it should be bad news, or just a simple sad thing, Autumn Dao Ding Zuo was very serious while eating vegetable rolls, while telling Soth that the senior students in the school had graduated early, because the number of ninjas was insufficient, so let them go to the battlefield in advance, Sos only felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he heard this, he had seen those children, although they were older, but after all, they were also children, Who can resist the you/huo of food, I will come here to eat a few skewers after school on weekdays, Sos was silent, Yamanaka Kaiichi who was standing behind the Akido Ding Seat looked serious, and Nara Shikaku spat on the ground, and it was the first time that Sos had seen Lujiu behave so irritable.
"Mr. Soss, do you think they'll be back?" he stopped eating, put down the vegetable roll, and lowered his hand, staring at Soth as if he had to get an affirmative answer.
Soth glanced at him, shook his head, put the two balls into the steaming small shabu-shabu, waited quietly and looked at the deserted street ahead, and replied, "I don't know." β
He really didn't know, he could have coaxed Dingza and told him that those students would definitely come back, but he wasn't sha/ zi, those are just children, their biggest role on the battlefield, probably no different from cannon fodder, maybe someone can grow up quickly, but the fate of most people has basically been held in the palm of death by death, Soth doesn't want to deceive Ding Za, he is a little tired, or rather, he can't lie, looking at these students who have just come to school, who knows if it will be a few of them who will be sent to the battlefield tomorrow? Or next year, although it is said that the war is almost over, how long will it take? a few months? orβ¦β¦ Years?
Sos didn't dare to imagine how much chance a child would have survived when he arrived on the battlefield and fantasized about coming back alive, maybe he was born in this era, they had to realize that this was a cruel thing, let them experience coldness, experience cruelty, maybe it would be better than giving away his life, Sos moved his lips a few times, and muttered:
"I don't think they can come back. β
The vegetable roll in Dingzuo's hand fell in response, he didn't have any too strange actions, Lu Jiu and Hai Yi stepped forward to look at him worriedly, he just lowered his head silently, as if he already knew the answer to the matter.
"Let's go home early, it's time for me to close the stall, it's getting late." Soth looked at the blood-red sunset, and for the first time thought that the color was not at all pretty, so he put away the steaming little shabu-shabu, left the three children who were still standing still, and pushed the already well-known cart and walked to his home.
As he said, no matter what, whether people accept it or not, the world is like this, especially in the world where this kind of war broke out, all the warmth is what all living human beings desire, but if you don't want to die, you have to press this desire to the deepest heart, this is the way most people in this era live, which is why they will be lost and aggrieved.
Soth also wished he had the divine power he once had, and used it to stop the war, but alas, he no longer had it.
Sitting in his cabin, Soth this time, hung upside down on the ceiling again, after spending that period of fear, always feeling that he would be arrested and interrogated by those shadows of Konoha After Soth rarely practiced ninjutsu, he found his peace of mind in a peaceful life, he believed that Jilai must have been like this at that time, but now all this has been broken.
He was also the planner and initiator of war, but he could not find any motive in his recollection, perhaps this is what can be triggered by the reversal of the identity between the predator and the prey.
The real change of identity between the two and looking at it from different standpoints can be regarded as a vague understanding of this question, however, there is still no answer.
Soth felt that he could not wait for the answer to fall from the sky, and for the first time that night, he slipped out of the house and into the street.
The patrol location of the dark department has actually been touched by him for a long time in the past year, and it is strange to say, sometimes, time will naturally give you what you want, and by listening to the noise outside every day, Soth is used to patrolling this street when and where there will be people.
He slipped out of the house, naturally no one would notice him, this was the first time since the outbreak of the war that he had a thirst for power, he wondered, if he had the power he once had, maybe his mind would have been different?
