At dusk, the turquoise necklace of life was still swaying around the neck of the Thousand Hands Rope Tree, but at this time, it was a little scarlet imprinted by the glow of the setting sun. After only one mission, it has already drunk the color of blood, and the twinkling stars are becoming more and more enchanting.

Finally, the seven women rescued by the fifth class were escorted back to the poor village. In the wailing and weeping of the villagers after learning that all the bandits were gone, Qimu Shuomao said behind him, "The task is complete, return to the village." Then he led the team of three who had completed the "C" class mission for the first time, and began to walk on the way to and fro.

This way back is not as happy as in the anime in my memory; There are no villagers who cheer and wave goodbye to their new life; There is no expectation of "goodbye" and "next time to play". Some just walked on the way back to the village after a few simple words of gratitude from the village chief, in the worried, awe-inspiring and fearful eyes of the villagers.

This village will not want to see outsiders again for a long time, and it will also take a long time to forget and return to the peaceful and prosperous village of "Joan".

In the 31st year of Konoha, the war has not yet come, but the life of civilians has begun to be like this.

In the morning, the fifth class set off with the morning sun and passion. At this time, the sun was still 30 degrees away from the horizon, and 19 lives disappeared forever in front of the three of them with their respective sins. There is also a woman who has chosen her own destiny, but this moment makes the three of them not want to think about it anymore. The woman who picked up the butcher's knife and ended the others and herself.

The three of them pinched their hearts, and followed behind Hagi Shuomao step by step, wanting to return to Konoha as soon as possible.

The path that began and ended was retraced. When I passed by this place for the third time, the corpses of the bandits on both sides had already been buried deep underground by the soil of Qimu Shuomao. Only traces of blood were left to dry up on the ground like a meandering stream.

by red, blackened.

Looking at the more lush and verdant trees on both sides of the road, the day difference at this time seems to remind me of the rumor of my childhood:

"Gently throw away the dirt from the ground and plant a flower, a sapling. When I pass by again, I always find that they are so lush and gorgeous. It was only then that I really realized how nutritious the soil was! Hiza kicked lightly twice, letting the dirt bury the red patch under his feet.

The Thousand Hands Rope Tree behind him also seemed to pause. When I saw the colored soil, I seemed to want to wash the clean and beautiful forest path when I first passed by, just like a cottage. His own water seems to be much better than other ninjutsu when it washes up unclean things, at least it looks much cleaner than the teacher's soil after hastily burying it.

"Let's go!".

Hizashi shouted the rope tree hanging at the back of the line, and then accompanied Mikoto, who was still silent, half a step apart. The grinding rope tree looked at the two people who suddenly walked side by side with the pain of his left hand, and walked silently behind them.

Today, in the face of their own mercy, the bandits who fled in the direction of Qiongzhi Village after letting go, Qimu Shuomao taught them a lesson "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots". If not, the gore might be more than that?

It wasn't until Hagi Sao Shigeru walked through the intersection again that the forest next to the road seemed to echo the words left behind at that time: "If you want to live, kill one of the three of them!" Their repentance and fear no longer work in the face of true ninjas, until the surviving three became the final test.

......

At dusk, I finally returned to Konoha before the sun set.

Finally, it wasn't until the fifth class of what is the C-class mission was disbanded that they were dying, and they returned to the place where they were home to mend their hearts.

"Have you eaten?" The mother of three different surnames asked almost at the same time!!

"I've eaten it." "Uh~~~!" "Hmm~." Three different answers, Hinata's Senju Uchiha.

This night, in the moonlight, Riza swung harder and slapped the trunk of the tree in front of him, as if venting the anger in his heart. Because, the "heart" can no longer calm down, and the silver moonlight in front of him seems to be scarlet.

Hearing the word "eat", the thousand-handed rope tree retched. Crying and looking at the pork belly meat on the table in front of him, they were all his favorite meat "uh~~". Since ancient times, the two forced young people have been happy, and Tsunade seems to be deliberately giving his care and condolences!!

The demure Mai Trito is becoming more and more quiet today, curled up on her small bed and looking at the moon outside the window, in vain. Alone in Uchiha, enjoying the "quietness" that Hinata wants most at this time.

Mentor, Sakumo Hagi?

A person's flag is written quietly in the candlelight. He was not a father at this time, and this room belonged to him alone.

The open ninja file on the desk reads:

Hagi Sakushige: Upper Shinobi.

S Mission: 17 ; A Mission: 103 ; B Mission: 216; Task C: 334; D Mission: 206. (Equivalent reduction from official data)

Then he picked up the notebook pressed against the ninja manual, flipped through the thick smash that had already been written. Finally, I turned to the blank page that belonged to today, and began to write:

A certain day in the 31st year of Konoha;

The first C-level mission of the fifth class was completed to eliminate violence and peace.

Objective: All 19 robbers died. Hinata Hinata killed 3 people, Senju Rope Tree killed 1 person, and Uchiha Mikoto 0 people.

Hinata Hinata, Senju Rope Tree, and Uchiha Mikoto became the most important lesson of the "ninja" "killing" was not completed. Yesterday's plan and assumption, each of the three members of the team experienced at least one kill completion (2/3) by their own hands, and the plan failed.

......

Hachiki Sakumo habitually wrote down today's task summary in his notebook, and found that the plan he had envisioned for so many years had not been realized for the only time today. Did you make a disclosure somewhere, or did you think too much about the gore of the Uchiha clan?

Dim candle flames, short silver hair for the first time in many years because of the "Hyuga Senju Uchiha" hesitated to think?

A ninja squad that has experienced gore and carnage for the first time, what to do next?

This question seems to be difficult for the former Hagi Sakushige himself, and it seems that there is not much to remember and choose from except for the execution of the mission and the killing.

Thinking of the sunshine of the Senjutsu Rope Tree, thinking of the demure kindness of Mikoto Uchiha, and thinking of Hinata Hinata Hinata ...? How should this disciple evaluate himself? For the time being, it seems that I can't define myself who has always been good at analysis!!

It has always been a thorough analysis of his own tasks, and he found for the first time that it was so difficult to arrange the next tasks and guidance for these children. The result of the fusion of different personalities made it difficult for the first time in many years for Sakushige Hagi, who had always been accustomed to being rigorous and planning everything.

So, the next step begins...!

What the?

、、、、、、

(How did he change from a ninja who completed 100% of his tasks to a teacher, a white fang, a hero, a father, and finally a sinner?) ）
