Chapter VII Peace
At dusk, the sky was as red as blood.
"Haven't the supplies arrived yet?"
At the edge of the forest, a worried female voice sounded, looking at the turbulent river not far away, there was a trace of sorrow between the woman's eyebrows.
"Tsunade, how can it be so fast."
Jilai also squeezed out a smile and said helplessly.
"The village is fighting on multiple fronts, and the enemy also destroys supply points from time to time, and it is normal for logistics supplies to not keep up."
"Instead of hoping for the logistics of the village, it is better to figure it out yourself."
The man with a pale face and a yin owl aura on his body said lightly.
After a pause, the man licked the corners of his lips and smiled.
"When you cross this river, you'll be reinforced, won't you?"
But no one answered his words, and when he looked up at the two people beside him, Orochimaru smiled again.
"Your useless and hypocritical sympathies are at work again?"
"It's really ridiculous, killing the enemy while caring about the civilians in the enemy camp."
"Having killed so many people, don't you understand what war is all about?"
Jiraiya turned his head sharply and glared at Orochimaru angrily: "Shut up, Orochimaru!" ”
"We, we're just wondering when this war will end."
Tsunade also sighed lightly: "Too many people have died!" ”
yes, too many people died. Whether it's Konoha or other villages, people are dying every day in this war.
Or directly from war, or indirectly from disease, starvation, and accidents. Only those who are mired in war will have a greater desire for peace.
"Death of one's own people, or death of the enemy, I think this answer, you know very well in your hearts."
"Tomorrow, we will cross this inland river and enter the northeastern defense line of the Rain Country, what will happen then, what will they do when they are hungry."
"No one knows for sure."
"Hope that they have a merciful heart."
Orochimaru said this with a sneer and turned to leave.
The words that seem to be brief quarrels all show the three of them are disgusted with war. In the war, the ugliness of human nature and the darkness were completely released, and they also saw how unbearable it can be to be born as a human being.
Fear, timidity, weakness, hideousness, darkness, indifference, and bloodshed are vividly displayed here.
"Jiraiya, is there really no way, peace?"
Tsunade's voice trembled and he muttered.
In front of outsiders, she is a strong, cold, murderous Konoha ninja who does not blink an eye and will not shed a single tear. But in front of his partner, he is full of confusion and vulnerability.
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and then squeezed out a smile: "Of course there will be!" I once said that the toad immortal told me that there will be a savior in the future. ”
"Trust me, Tsunade, peace will come!"
Tsunade wiped the corners of his eyes and muttered, "Really? ”
"I wish it was coming soon!"
At the same time, Ise had just returned home with an exhausted body.
Fusang hurriedly called hot water and put it in front of him: "Wash it quickly, see how tired you are all day." ”
"Hey, I'm tired, but the effect is obvious!"
As he spoke, Ise clenched his fists, revealing the muscles in his arms.
Then, he turned his head to look at Nagato.
"Nagato, isn't Dad very strong!"
Nagato pouted: "Father-sama only cares about exercising these days, and doesn't care about me and my mother, I hate you." ”
Ise was stunned for a moment, then beckoned: "Come here." ”
Nagato reluctantly moved his steps and came to Ise: "The other people in the village often talk about wars, many people have died, and they want world peace. ”
"Well, Nagato has heard a lot of things lately, and he has understood a lot."
Ise said with a smile while washing his face.
"Father, I'm not a child anymore, I heard that other people's children, when they were my age, were already ninjas."
Nagato snorted.
"Who did you listen to?"
Ise was stunned again, and then rubbed the other party's little head.
"So, do you want to be a ninja?"
"Of course I think about it, if you become a ninja, you can become a hero like Sun Wukong, and you can do many, many things!"
Nagato said excitedly.
"However, I still hope for world peace, I heard them say that if there is no war, we will live happily, and my father will not go out early and return late every day to exercise."
Listening to his stupid son talk about cultivation as exercise, Ise couldn't help but smile, and when he heard the words later, he felt very moved.
"Father, how can we be peaceful?"
The lost Nagato asked again.
This is a question from an ignorant child, which is normal but makes people feel very sad. Ise knew very well that such a question would never be asked in his world.
"If you want real peace, you can only find unity."
"The entire ninja world, it is possible to unify the party."
Ise said.
Nagato's eyes were confused and confused, and it was clear that with his current knowledge, he was not enough to understand these words.
"I'll tell you a story."
Ise said with a smile.
"Well, I like to hear my father's stories the most!"
Nagato said happily.
In the end, it is still a child's heart, and stories have a fatal attraction to him. The stories told by his father about the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Nezha's Havoc in the Sea, and the praise of his father day by day, each of which made him extremely excited.
"This time, what Dad wants to tell you is the story of King Qin's domination of the world!"
Ise said slowly with a smile.
Fusang, who was sewing clothes opposite, was stunned and listened quietly. Although I don't know where my husband heard so many magical stories, it is indeed very interesting. Especially for Nagato, it made him scream with excitement and joy.
As evening approached, the gentle voice of Ise began to sound in the quiet wooden house, flickering candles.
"Once upon a time, there was a country called Qin, and at his time, there were six other powerful countries."
"Because of the cultural, economic, and ideological differences between the six countries, they have been fighting for many years, and troubled times have come, and the people have no fixed place to live."
Ise's story made Fuso stunned, and then said softly: "This is the same as we are now, the four major countries, and other small countries, are also fighting for years. ”
"Uh-huh!"
Konagato nodded heavily, although he was very young, he was very precocious and knew a lot of things.
"The king of Qin is a man named Yingzheng, well, the king is the name of our world."
Ise smiled and nodded, and said slowly again.
Nagato listened carefully, the story was not long, and it was told quickly, and when he heard that after the King of Qin unified the six kingdoms, he unified writing, currency, and weights and measures, his eyes showed contemplation.
"Father, I seem to understand something, but I don't seem to understand anything."
As he spoke, he scratched his head in annoyance.
Ise smiled and patted the other's head: "When you grow up, you'll understand." ”
Then he said again.
"My son, he will definitely be a wonderful person in the future."
"So, tomorrow you will join me and learn to become a ninja!"
Nagato was stunned, and then jumped up happily: "Great!! ”
Ise also laughed when he saw that the other party was so happy, but in the next moment, his face suddenly changed.
A pair of eyes full of lines suddenly emerged.
Ruthless, cold, and elevated, with a suffocating aura that pounded into his mind.
"Reincarnation Eye!"
Appeared in front of him again.
