Soon, the scouts sent out had word that they had found traces of human activity in a small valley to the east. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before leading the team to a small remote valley, Conan sensed it a little and found that there were indeed people inside, and there were not a few, it should be that people from several nearby villages had come here.
Conan wondered why these people were fleeing and living here.
Slowly led people to the camp, and before Conan could ask anything, he blew up when he saw several of Conan's people.
"Kiki, Konoha Ninja!"
"Konoha ninjas are here, run!"
Conan Ming looked at the person fleeing frantically in front of him wonderfully, is the name of Konoha Ninja really so terrible?
Despite the fact that the furious crowd kept rushing left and right, surrounded by ninjas, no one could escape in the end.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the people gathered in the open space in the middle of the valley tremblingly, looking at Conan and his party in fear.
Looking at people's fearful eyes mixed with grief and hatred, Conan became more and more puzzled.
If it was in wartime, it can be said that it is understandable that these people have behaved like this, after all, they are afraid of being innocent, but in such a peaceful environment, even when Konoha itself is here to help rebuild, it will not work again.
"Who is the leader of you here?"
Hearing Conan's question, people look at me and I look at you, and it took a long time to elect an old man.
"Hello ninja adults of Konoha." The old man looked at Conan with a smile on his face, "I don't know what you ninjas are coming to us for." ”
"We don't have any money, if we want food...", the old man gritted his teeth, "we can still make some of it." ”
Hearing the old man's words, people exclaimed one after another, and the fear on their faces became even stronger.
At this time, a young man suddenly came out of the crowd and came to the old man's side: "Grandpa, that's our last food, how can we give it to them like this." ”
Saying that, the young man looked at Conan angrily and shouted: "I'm not afraid of you, anyway, if you don't have food, you will die, so it's better to fight with them." As he spoke, the boy opened his teeth and claws to pounce.
The crowd behind the boy began to stir a moment after the commotion.
After the old man reacted, he quickly grabbed the young man and slapped him in the face.
"If you want to die, don't drag everyone to die together, ninja-sama is something you can offend?"
As he spoke, the old man dragged the young man to his knees and begged Conan for mercy.
Conan stared blankly at the scene in front of him, not knowing what the situation was, why he suddenly felt like a villain bully, or the kind of bad oil that bullied the good.
"You... What does that mean exactly? Do you think we Konoha ninjas are the ones who covet your little bit of food? ”
The people looked at each other in silence, and then slowly lowered their heads.
The young man got up again unwillingly: "What are you pretending to be!" You took away all our food from the previous war, and now you are coming again, and you don't intend to give us any way to live. ”
The old man hurriedly stood up again and held down the young man and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, a few adults, he is still young and ignorant, please spare him." ”
Conan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, the amount of information in what the kid said just now was a bit large.
"You say it's our Konoha people who have taken your food... And also... Who told you that we are here to fight war again? At this point, Conan's face was cold and there was no trace of expression.
"Do you still want to deny it, they all took all our food for the sake of supplying you, and if they can't get it, they will be taken away and become slaves to pay off their debts, and you are still fighting in the place where we live, so we have to flee."
Ignoring the old man's drag, the young man shouted angrily, "Do you know how many people we have died because of your war? My father and mother died because of you guys, and they were poisoned after just taking a sip of the river, and my sister, who had to be sold to raise food, and now you're here again..."
Speaking of this, the young man couldn't help but cry loudly: "Woo... Why? Why do you want to bully us like this? There's no way for us to live, come on, you just kill us." ”
The angry boy could no longer contain his anger, and rushed up desperately and punched Conan hard.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the boy hit Conan in the face so hard that even the boy didn't expect to be able to hit the ninja.
Everyone stared at Conan in silence, and some even collapsed to the ground in fright.
Conan quietly looked at the young man in front of him and said slowly: "Here I want to clarify a few facts, first of all, in the previous war, our Konoha had abundant supplies, and we have not yet fallen into the situation of robbing a group of poor people for food, so we have not seen the so-called food you handed over to us at all. ”
"Secondly, I don't know where you heard the news, who made the rumors, we Konoha people didn't come here for war this time, we came to help you transform the waterways, and we didn't have any intention of starting a war."
"Finally..."Conan said heavily, "I want to apologize to you on behalf of Konoha, the war between Konoha and Sha Shinobi must have brought you a lot of losses, even the loss of your loved ones, maybe apologizing is useless... We'll figure out how to make it up for that later. ”
"Now, tell us all the information you know, and we will definitely find out what you know."
People looked at Conan blankly, a little unresponsive, will the ninja-sama who is high up in the sky also apologize to people like us?
Soon, Conan, who had received the relevant information, led the team out of the place, leaving behind some of the food.
"This matter is obviously done by someone on purpose, otherwise it would be impossible for so many villages to get the news of our Konoha people in the first place, and they also mistakenly thought that we were going to fight again." Kakashi analyzed.
"Hmm." Conan nodded: "And in the previous war, there were people who openly plundered and spread fear under the banner of our Konoha, which must not be indulged." ”
"Kakashi-sensei, you take a few people to investigate first, let's see what the situation is, these things must be thoroughly investigated." (To be continued.) )
