Chapter 1 Orphans of War
Tick, tick, the sky was overcast, and the rain was dripping uninterruptedly on the ground and onto the leaves, with a slight sound. The bleak scene all around seems to tell of this damn strife,
Under a tree in the forest, a ragged boy with shoulder-length purple hair was curled up, no more than 1 meter tall, with a delicate face, but the stains on his face and his refugee-like outfit completely obscured his appearance.
At first glance, it was just a child about four or five years old.
This young man's name is Ueno Kei, his background is ordinary, neither a very famous ninja, a descendant of a famous samurai, nor a nobleman of a large and small country, just a child born in an ordinary peasant family, Ueno Kei's parents are just a peasant family in a small country called Yu located at the border with the country of fire.
If there is any difference, it is that when Kei Ueno came to this world five years ago, the most important thing that was different from other children was that Kei Ueno was not from this world, and of course, it did not mean that he occupied the body of this Ueno child.
Suffice it to say, he came into this world with almost all the memories of his previous life. Why say almost, because there are some fragments of memory appearing,
So it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a person from this world, it's just that he has more memories of his previous life than a normal child, and when Kai Ueno opened his eyes, he saw his parents in this life, a pair of kind-hearted, kind-faced, ordinary parents, Kai Ueno didn't resist anything, and he didn't feel panic or anything.
Although he didn't know anything about this world, and when he was a child, he didn't know anything about the samurai-sama or ninja-sama that his parents talked about, but fortunately, except for the language to be re-learned, everything else was no different from the previous world.
Although it is a little behind in science and technology, there are things like ninjutsu that surprise Ueno Kai. He didn't have any doubts or doubts about his appearance in this world. He also thinks that it is normal for people to die and live, and the reincarnation of heaven is a very normal thing, and he still has the memory of his previous life.
Ueno Kai once joked to himself that it might be that Mr. Hades forgot to let Meng Po drink Meng Po soup for himself, and he laughed at himself in the past.
Kei Ueno didn't show much outstanding appearance at the beginning, normal work and rest, normal life, just a little more sensible than ordinary children, not noisy or noisy, obedient and obedient, always treated the villagers around him with a gentle attitude, and occasionally played with other children like a real child, which made Kei Ueno's parents feel very gratified.
At that moment, Ueno Kai felt that he would live a peasant life in this life, grow up normally, marry an ordinary peasant girl, live a peasant life that he talked about, and then die with a mediocre talk, bringing nothing and taking nothing away.
It's just a matter of experiencing a different life one more time.
But the plan for the future was terminated at that moment.
When his mother's hideous face allowed him to escape, and his father rushed towards the thieves with a hoe, Ueno Kai felt hesitant and frightened for the first time, but he listened to his mother's roar and mechanically controlled his body and ran towards the mountain behind the village.
He didn't dare to look back, and he didn't want to.
In this way, I walked through the mountains day and night, drank some stream water and mountain springs when I was thirsty, and looked for some wild fruits everywhere when I was hungry.
Many villagers in mountain villages have the behavior of hunting in the mountains to increase their food, so large wild animals are very scarce, so Ueno Kai can survive in this mountain range.
Kei Ueno didn't know how many days had passed since he ran out. I don't know if I'm still in the mountains behind my village, or if I'm still in my own country, it's a problem.
He couldn't find his way back, and he didn't dare to go back, for though he had grown minds, his body was still just a five-year-old child.
The fear and trepidation in the child's nature are still with him, although he has now forced himself to calm down, but for the future, he does not know what to do, what to do.
Ueno Kai, who has never been out of the village, has only a superficial understanding of the world limited to the five major countries, ninjas, and ninja villages.
With his back against the tree, Ueno's eyes seemed to be out of focus, unfocused, and numb.
The rain was dripping, wetting Ueno Kei's body, and suddenly, Ueno Kai howled and cried, the scene of the tragic death of his parents, and the death of those kind uncles and aunts next door, uncles, and friends, seemed to have appeared in Ueno Kai's mind.
At this moment, Kei Ueno is not at all like a person with adult thoughts, crying like a normal child.
I don't know how long I've been crying, but when I felt deep fatigue hit me, Kei Ueno crossed his hands, curled up under the tree, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Ueno Kei woke up in a shaking, and glanced back and forth with confused eyes, and suddenly, Ueno Kei shivered violently, because at this time he was carried behind by a suspicious figure with a mask on his face.
"Human trafficking!" The first thought that flashed in Ueno Kei's mind was this, Ueno Kai quietly closed his eyes again, he knew that as a child, he didn't have the ability to resist, so he didn't do anything drastic, continued to pretend that he was still asleep, and secretly considered the possibility and plan of escape in his heart.
Although the previous Ueno Kei was crying helplessly like a real child, but it was just some darkness in his heart, and the sadness was vented, and now he, although he is still immersed in the grief of the death of his parents and the destruction of his life, but he is not a child after all, how to live, and living is what Ueno Kai has to consider at present.
It was when Kei Ueno was thinking fiercely about how to get out of the clutches of these people in his mind, and the masked Kei Ueno who was carrying him looked suspicious and didn't know how to know men and women stopped, and Kei Ueno was wondering what was going on.
A kind voice like a spring breeze sounded in my ears
"Little one, since you're awake, don't pretend to be asleep, I'm not a suspicious person, old man"
When Kei Ueno heard the voice, his heart sank at first, but he quickly came back to his senses and slowly opened his eyes, and at this time, the masked man put Kei Ueno down.
Kei Ueno stood on the ground, the sun above his head shining through the leaves on Kei Ueno's eyes, Kei Ueno squinted his eyes and looked up at the person who spoke, an old man wearing a red and white robe, wearing a hat, and a big fire character engraved on the front of the hat, with a kind face.
Kei Ueno's first thought was, "I don't look like a human trafficker."
And the second thing is that what Kei Ueno didn't know at the time was that at that moment, Kei Ueno's life changed, and the gears of stagnant life turned again.
