Chapter 47: What is a Ninja?
Let's turn the clock back to almost a day ago, at the edge of the outer barrier of Konoha Blade.
Loquat Juro looked at the aggressive masked man in front of him, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"I want to ...... Are you misunderstanding something?! ”
He sat up slowly, straightened his back, and looked at the other party defiantly:
"As the leader of the Seven Ninja Swords in the Land of Blood Mist, life and death for me are just a part of life.
Threatening me with death is too underestimated!
I was captured before, and that's because I'm not as good as others......"
Speaking of which, Loquat Juro remembered the legendary Shinobio, the third generation of Konoha Hokage Ape Tobi Slash.
Originally, I thought that he was getting old, and he was in the prime of life and had the strength to fight with him......
However, with only two or three ninjutsu subtle combinations and the long sticks transformed into psychic beasts, they knocked themselves unconscious......
The masked man suddenly let out a low laugh:
"I think you're the one who really misunderstood something, right?"
He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Loquat Juro by the neck with one hand and pulled him up. The eyes that appeared on the mask glowed blood-red:
"I'm just looking at you a little more pleasing to the eye, killing you for me.
It's no different than trampling an ant to death, and I can get you out of the prison of the Konoha Uchiha clan without anyone knowing.
Of course, it can also make you disappear into this world silently.
It's just that you, who used to be the leader of the Seven Ninja Blades, are you really willing? ”
As soon as his hand was released, Loquat Juro fell to the ground again, his face flushed and coughing violently.
"Betrayed by the shadow of his own village, the once famous Ninja Sword Seven are regarded as outcasts......"
Loquat Juro thought of his six teammates, although many of them were cold-blooded and ruthless, but there were also companions who could take care of each other at critical moments......
"Don't you want revenge?!
Take revenge on the three generations of Mizukage who can betray his subordinates without scruples for the sake of his power!
Return to Wuyin Village and take back everything that should belong to you?! ”
Loquat Juro clenched his fists, looked at the masked man with a solemn gaze, and said:
"What exactly is your purpose?"
The masked man put his hands behind his back and looked up at the starry sky:
"Me? Maybe it's for peace, a reckless and brutal Mizukage is too dangerous for this world.
Hehe, but more, for revenge! ”
He lowered his head and looked at Loquat Juro:
"He did something really stupid and managed to make me feel the urge to kill him!"
Loquat Juro hesitated for a moment with a complicated gaze, and finally reluctantly stood up, and then knelt on one knee:
"I am willing to be loyal to you, please help me, let me return to the Fog Hidden Village, I will personally kill the three generations of Mizukage!"
The masked man clapped his hands slightly, and the two Bai Jue quickly grew out of the ground, supporting Loquat Shiro one left and one right.
"Take him to the Valley of the End to rest first."
With that, his figure disappeared into the swirling spatial cracks.
In the clan land of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village, Obito's figure suddenly appeared in the home where he lived with his grandmother.
He stood hesitantly in the small courtyard, looking at the dim light of the house......
"Go in? What about the ruthlessness of that peerless master just now?
Why don't you continue to pretend? Aren't you quite capable of acting?
I didn't learn anything well with Madara, but I pretended to learn well, right? ”
“…… If you don't complain, I'll die, right?!
I was just...... I'm afraid that after really talking to my grandmother, I won't be determined to leave her anymore! ”
Obito quietly walked to the window and looked at the figure of the grandmother in the house.
Before going to war a year ago, the old man sat quietly in this familiar living room with his grandson in his arms.
"Little Obito, you must cherish your own life, because this is what your parents exchanged for their own lives......"
A year has passed, things are wrong, and the grandmother's back has become thinner, holding a photo of her son and daughter-in-law and a photo of her grandson in her hand, still sitting in the living room and waiting lonely......
A slight noise from the roof interrupted Obito's thoughts, and he looked up indifferently as he watched a crow fly up and disappear into the night, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
The crow flailed its wings desperately, and its body flew over the Uchiha clan's clan land, flying towards the Minamiga River on the east side of Konoha.
At night, the Minamiga River, a river that records too much history of Konoha, still flows slowly.
Two teenagers, one older and one younger, stood on the riverbank, talking without saying a word:
"Brother Zhishui, you say, why does life fight?"
Uchiha Itachi picks up a stone from a pile of rocks on the riverside and gently throws it into the river.
"From Birth to Death......"
Zhishui also picked up a stone from the ground and looked at it thoughtfully.
"Perhaps...... It's for survival! ”
With a strong wrist, the stone lightly tapped in the river and hit the pile of stones on the opposite bank.
"Wild beasts need to fight each other to gain the right to survive, even if it is grass and trees, they must grow taller to grow stronger!"
"Stronger, stronger?"
Itachi picked up one of the largest pieces from the pile of rocks and looked up at the water:
"What about us? We are not like wild beasts who live a precarious life, and we are not like plants and trees that are cut down and trampled on......"
The large stone was thrown into the water by the ferret, making a splash, but it sank to the bottom of the river.
"But they still fight with each other, and even as ninjas, we have more power than ordinary people......
But they often fall into a vicious circle of fighting, unable to achieve true peace, unable to reach the other side......"
Zhishui was silent for a moment, with a warm smile on his face, and he looked up at the starry sky:
"I don't know...... However, as I said before, I want to live in a peaceful world. ”
He looked down at the Itachi firmly:
"So, if the fight can be stopped, I hope that it can be stopped by my strength!"
"Me, me too!"
At this time, a crow hurriedly landed on Zhishui's shoulder, and Zhishui's eyes became blood-red, revealing three magatama, as if communicating with the crow......
An apple-sized stone was thrown from the opposite river, pointing at Shisui's head......
Zhishui hurriedly dodged, but his forehead was still scratched and blood flowed.
"Who told you that the stronger you are, the more you can't reach the other side?"
The two of them looked intently, and on the opposite side of the river, a guy in a blue robe and a white three-hooked jade mask was squinting at this place with several large stones in his hands.
Itachi's hands instantly took out eight shurikens and was about to throw them, but they were stopped by Shisui reaching out.
Zhishui covered his bleeding forehead with his other hand, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes:
"You're finally back! I knew it, I knew it! With ......"
Two larger stones were thrown at him with shuriken speed, successfully blocking his words.
The shuriken in Itachi's hand was thrown quickly, striking the stone only slightly changing its direction.
The masked man's figure eerily disappeared into the whirlpool before appearing behind the two.
He pointed to the water with one hand:
"Shut up!"
Then look at the ferret:
"See, in the face of absolute power, human ideas and thoughts are meaningless.
If you really want to do something, then first you have to master enough power. ”
Itachi stubbornly looked at this mysterious guy:
"So, do you think that if you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want?"
The masked man spread his hands helplessly:
"I'm sorry, at least in front of the two of you, I ......"
His left eye suddenly revealed a kaleidoscope of writing wheels:
"It's just that you can do it.
Monthly reading! ”
The moment the Itachi saw the kaleidoscope, he fell into a blood-red world......
He looked at his future like a spectator.
A few months later, his younger brother Sasuke was born, and the new life brought more joy and warmth to the family.
Then, on the night of the Nine-Tails, the entire Konoha was almost destroyed......
Four generations of couples died, many ninjas in the village died, many civilians were also destroyed, and the Uchiha clan's land was razed to the ground......
The people of the village looked at them with more alienation and suspicion, and the anger and tyranny of the people were hidden beneath the surface of calm, only revealed in a pair of scarlet eyes at each meeting......
The father, who originally wanted to suppress all this, finally nodded silently under the coercion of the clansmen.
He and Zhishui tried in vain to stop the fight, but neither the village nor the people could gain real trust.
Standing on the edge of the cliff of the Minamiga River, one eye socket was empty......
When he returned home with a butcher's knife in hand, his parents looked at him calmly with a smile......
"Nope! No, it's ...... It's not what I want! ”
The scarlet moon above his head turned into the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye again, staring at himself:
"So, what exactly is a ninja and what is a village, after thinking carefully and getting your own answer, you can come to me!"
In reality, Itachi, whose eyes had turned into single-hooked jade writing wheels, slowly fell to the ground.
"Itachi!"
Shisui stood worriedly beside Itachi.
"Don't worry about him yet, it's just that he fainted after being violently stimulated, and he opened his eyes by the way.
As for you......"
As soon as Zhishui raised his head, he saw a punch the size of a sandbag smashing into him......
"Ahh What are you doing with Brother Tu! ”
Obito ignored the howl of the water, and without any ninjutsu and physical skills, he simply relied on the iron fist to beat him fat.
"The crows are very happy, huh?!
What do you have to do to spy on my grandmother's house with crows to get information?! ”
"It was just training at first! Later, I was curious to see Kakashi and Rin always going to grandma's house......
I was wrong, don't fight again! ”
Obito stood up, looked at the little ghost in front of him who had a good relationship with him before, and then thought about what he would do in the future......
"No, no, no! Stand up and let me beat me again. ”
"Nani?! Why?! Ah! ”
"Whoever you believe is not good, you have to believe in Tuanzang!
I breathe when I see your eyes!
Obviously he is an optimist, why is he only ten years old! ”
Shisui's face was finally beaten into a pig's head, and he fell to Itachi's side, not knowing how to refute Obito......
I don't know Elder Tuanzang at all, okay?!
Is it my fault that I have good talent early when I open my eyes? It's obviously envy, jealousy and hatred!
Obito pointed to the right eye of the water and said viciously:
"Watch your own right eye! Watch out for Shimura Danzo!
If you can still be taken away from his right eye in the future, don't jump off the cliff, find a rock and shoot yourself to death! ”
With that, he turned and strode away.
"Wait, Brother Daitu, you're just leaving?"
Obito suddenly stopped, turned his head to stare at the water:
"Don't tell anyone you've seen me, and don't tell Itachi who I am!
Otherwise, huh! ”
With that, his figure disappeared into the vortex again......
The next moment, Obito appeared at the Uchiha Nanga Shrine, and he lightly stepped on the floor under his feet, and then.
The whole body slowly sank under the floor and came to the basement.
Obito walked to the stele and silently looked at the secret news on the stele after it was tampered with by the Black Jedi.
"Obito, do you already have the answer in your mind to the question you asked Itachi just now?"
0517's voice rang out.
Obito was silent for a moment, thinking of the darkness under the light of Konoha and of Loquat Juro who was betrayed by the village......
He stretched out his hand to touch the lie that had been passed down for thousands of years, and the stele gradually disappeared in place in the swirling cracks.
"The village was founded by many sacrifices made by ninjas who shared the same ideals......
The ideas of our ancestors should be inherited by us. ”
The next moment, his figure appeared on the Hokage Cliff in Konoha Village, and he looked down at the entire village and muttered.
A white absolute appeared behind him:
"Obito-sama, the former Yan Ninja Ninja Genon is indeed living in seclusion in Konoha Village, running a small carpentry shop."
Obito nodded, and followed Bai Jue's guidance to Xuan Weng's residence.
"Where there is light, there is darkness behind it.
But darkness does not mean squalor and decay! ”
Hyun Weng collapsed on the floor of his house in a daze, and the kaleidoscope of his left eye gradually disappeared......
His figure reappeared in a forest on the outskirts of Konoha Village, surrounded by a dozen white jueve.
"The ninja school, the shopping street, and the basement of the Hokage Building!
Hospitals, homes for the elderly, and the bottom of Hokage Cliff.
Go ahead, give you a day to get these detonation charms out. ”
A dozen Bai Jue nodded, and their bodies dived into the soil.
"Even if you are in the dark, as long as you yearn for the light in your heart, you can still protect your home."
Obito raised his head and smiled at the bright moon in the night sky.
"Silently guarding in the dark, even if no one knows about your exploits, this is probably the Night Watchman.
Well, I'd like to be, such a ninja. ”
