Chapter 13: The Knife That Cuts Off the Family
Ai's second mission was three days later, and because it was the first mission, the family councillor also gave a three-day break to the new person's routine. There is always a steady stream of tasks in wartime, and Ai is already very satisfied with having three days of rest, after all, something is better than nothing.
The second mission is still exploration, but the location is Yunlei Gorge, but this time, Ai is the only one who goes to Yunlei Gorge to carry out the exploration mission. At that time, Yunlei Gorge was not a scenic travel location, and he had a more memorable name than Yunlei Gorge, the Valley of No Return. As the name suggests, there is no return.
And the reason why it is named this is naturally that the mineral resources in Yunlei Gorge are very rich, and basically you can find minerals by going down to a place and digging down for more than ten meters, which is why many families have bases in this huge canyon.
There is often a great danger behind the rich benefits, and the scope of the Cloud Thunder Gorge is so large that no one family can swallow it alone, because they are not Uchiha, nor are they a thousand hands.
The most important thing in the war is logistics, whether it is the consumption of basic ninja equipment such as kunai or the consumption of medical supplies, the resources required are endless, if there is no stable source, then the family will not be able to survive in this world. Because of this, many families treat the stronghold of Yunlei Gorge as their heart.
Ai, who came to Yunlei Gorge, saw only a quiet canyon, but after remembering what the person who issued the task said, he treated it with a hundred and twenty points of spirit. Behind the tranquil canyon is often accompanied by murder, this is a game of cat and mouse, the difference is that everyone plays the role of cat and mouse, once the two families collide, in the end there is only one family left.
Five days later, Ai walked out of Yunlei Gorge alive, but although he was alive, Yunlei Gorge, known as the Valley of No Return, still taught young Ai a lesson, and Ai had already gone into shock due to heavy bleeding after returning to the territory, if it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a ninja from the same family passing by, the final result would still be no return.
After returning from Yunlei Gorge, Ai knew that he was not the only one who accepted this character, there were eight people who traveled with him, but only Ai was able to come back alive to complete the task, and Ai, who was seriously injured and had been lying in bed for a month to recuperate, only got a finely forged knife.
No one knew what Ai had experienced in the Cloud Thunder Gorge, and no one knew what it was like to be in the Thunder Shadow after getting that knife.
After that, another five years passed, and in five years, Ai witnessed the prosperity and decline of several families, and it was simply that his family also went through five years smoothly in the wind and rain. Five years have allowed Ai to become the top combat power of the family, but he is still only the executor of the task, even if his strength is stronger than Shangnin, because he is only an outsider after all.
But no one thought that Ai, who was supposed to dedicate his life to the family, finally aimed the butcher knife at the family, and naturally used the knife that the family gave to Ai. The patriarch of the family may never have imagined that it was the broken knife that was sent casually to his heart in the end. And the people of the family will never understand how Ai can rebel against him. They will not know that the mind can never be imprisoned.
Will the warrior who slays the dragon really turn into a dragon? There is no answer to this question, and Ai, who destroyed the family, naturally became the leader of this family. But on the first day Ai became the leader, the first order he announced was that the family was dissolved.
And Ai was waiting for not cheers, the blank eyes of the ninjas below. The family was dissolved, and they couldn't accept it. They have grown up in this family since they were children, and all they have received is the ideas that the family has constantly instilled in them, and they have constantly numbed themselves and dedicated their lives to the family.
At this moment, Ai realized that their minds had been bound, and although he had broken the shackles on their bodies, the chains on his thoughts had not broken through. Although he has a peerless ability, the shackles of his mind cannot be broken, and Ai doubts himself for the first time.
Three days later, the Thundercloud Guild was established, and the first guild leader was Ai, and the ninjas of the original family also became members of the first guild. The transition from being a slave to becoming a free man is something that many people can't adapt to. But Ai doesn't care, the change is from now on, and if it drags on forever, the problem will never be solved.
Five years after the establishment of the Thundercloud Guild, a voice came from the distant Land of Fire, and the Konoha Ninja Village was founded. And the establishment of Konoha undoubtedly gave Ai Xin inspiration, why can't he establish a village of ninjas like Konoha in the Land of Fire. Although Ai is already the president of the Thundercloud Guild, in the past five years, Ai has done more to change these people and help those who are suffering from the war. The establishment of Konoha allowed Ai to see more.
A year later, the Land of Thunder Yunyin Village was established, Ai became the first generation of Thunder Shadow, received the inspiration of Konoha , in a year, Ai led the guild to sweep the entire Land of Thunder, and the knife has followed Ai to this day, although the knife has been as crumbling as the people of the ancient years, but the blade is indeed stained with the blood of all the families in the Land of Thunder.
After many years, Thunder Shadow abdicated and handed over his place to one of the first young men who followed him, entrusting him with his own name.
At this time, the land of thunder has been ruined, the war has long since disappeared, and happy smiles have begun to appear on people's faces. There are also large and small guilds in Yunyin Village, they are under the unified jurisdiction of the Thundercloud Guild of the year, and they can freely recruit ninjas, and the Thundercloud Guild has the right to dispatch them.
Although a single Thundercloud Guild can include all ninjas, the original Thunder Shadow did give everyone the right to create guilds. All that was left for everyone was the sentence "It's easy to see yourself if you stand too high", and then you don't know where to go.
Some say he is dead, others say he wanders around the world, and some say he went to Yunlei Gorge because that's what he said was the most important place for him. But no one can say exactly where the original Thunder Shadow went. The original Thunder Shadow left everything behind, including his name, and the only thing he took away was this knife that had been with him for many years.
No one knows the significance of this knife to the original Thunder Shadow, including his heir, the second generation Thunder Shadow, who only knows that the Thunder Shadow values this knife more than life.
PS: In my imagination, the huge ninja world should not be like copying and pasting the system of Konoha and repeating it, although the answer I gave is not necessarily the best, but I also carefully depict the ninja world in my mind. There are a lot of stories that can be created by flickering, and I hope to make the ninja world even more colorful. Finally, I would like to explain once again that except for the Konoha part, all the other places in this book are second creations, so you must not take it seriously!
