Chapter 57: Heavy casualties
At lunch time in the afternoon, Sato Shin came to the cafeteria as agreed.
Entering the cafeteria, Sato Shin found the three Mikumo in the mountains at the usual dining location, so he walked over.
As he approached, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
There was a already filled dinner in front of the three of them, but no one moved a bite, even the Autumn Road Bing Xuan, which couldn't help but make Sato Shin puzzle for a while, the other two didn't say it, the Autumn Road Bing Xuan was also like this, it was absolutely strange.
"Seniors, you guys?"
Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Sato Shin looked at the three of them worriedly.
"Uh, you're here?"
It was only then that the clouds in the mountains seemed to come back to their senses and said in a slight panic.
"Captain, you...... What's wrong? ”
Sato Shin frowned, Yamashin Mikumo, who is a perceptual ninja, actually didn't notice it until Sato Shin arrived, which was a serious disqualification.
Although there is a reason why there is no sense of crisis in the camp, this is too abnormal, and it is completely inconsistent with the usual meticulous captain.
"No ......, it's fine."
Zhongyun shook her head in the mountains, but the sadness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Akimichi senior, aren't you eating?"
Sato Shin, who felt more and more weird, looked at Akido Binggen again.
"Eat, eat......"
Qiu Dao Bingxuan was distracted for a while, although he said to eat in his mouth, but he didn't mean to move his chopsticks at all.
Seeing this, Sato Shinkoji felt that something must have happened, and couldn't help but look at Nara Shinji.
"Nara-senpai, what's wrong?"
Hearing Sato Shin's inquiry, Nara Illusion's eyes flashed slightly, his gaze met Sato's gaze, hesitated slightly, and finally said.
"Our Shinobi teacher died in battle."
"What?!"
Sato's face was shocked, and his face was full of shock and regret.
I have been with Zhongyun and others in the mountains for a long time, so I naturally know some about the situation of the three of them.
The three of them were originally led by the same Shangnin, but later that Shangnin was transferred, and Yamashan Mikumo was also promoted to Zhongnin, and this team was finally disbanded and reorganized, becoming the current Shanmei Squad.
Regarding the relationship between the three of them and the teacher of the upper ninja, although the three of them did not say it, from the words that occasionally mentioned the upper ninja, Sato Shin could feel that the relationship between the three of them and the upper ninja must be very close, and it is conceivable how hard the death of the upper ninja was to the three of them.
Looking at such three people, Sato Shin sighed slightly and said.
"One of my former members of the same squad also died."
Hearing this, the three of them raised their eyes and looked at Sato Shin, they didn't expect Sato Shin to have the same experience as them.
"Although I don't have a good relationship with him, when I know the news of his death, I can't help but panic for a while......
Sato Shin continued, and the scene of the dispute with Nakatani Terumi couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
The three of them listened carefully, and from Sato Shin's words, they could feel that Sato Shin had the same feelings in his heart as them.
After a long time, the four of them were silent for a while, and finally it was Yamashine Miyun who broke the silence and said.
"I've heard it clearly, the reason why there are so many wounded in the camp this time is because of the sneak attack by Wuyin."
"Sure enough."
Hearing this, Sato Shin was not surprised, from the attack on the grain transport team, and the team where Nakatani Terusui was located, all of them were completely wiped out by a sneak attack, and Sato Shin faintly guessed in his heart that all this was Wuyin's actions.
"Just yesterday, around the same time that the grain delivery team was attacked, several ninja squads that were out on a mission were attacked by the Fog Hidden Ninja."
"Casualties...... What do you think? ”
Sato Shin asked with a slight trembling voice.
"A total of fifteen ninja squads were wiped out, counting those who escaped by luck in the event of an attack and were not completely wiped out, ninety people were killed in the lower ninja, twenty people were killed in the middle ninja, and four people were killed in the upper ninja."
Miyun said in a deep voice in the mountains.
"This ...... How much? ”
Sato Shin gasped violently in his heart, pulling out the cold.
All the ninjas who died in the battle combined, there were more than 100 people, and now that there is no head-to-head battle, it is definitely a very huge casualty.
Especially the death of those four shinobi in battle, even the camp will feel pain, right?
There is no doubt that this is the revenge of the fog, the revenge for the sneak attack of Konoha to completely destroy their secret station.
Although he had long known that Wu Yin would definitely take revenge back, when the revenge came, he was still shocked, and it was more violent than he imagined!
Is this the frontline?
It's no wonder that it can't be called a ninja meat grinder, there are already such large casualties in the absence of a head-on battle, so what will happen when a head-on battle occurs?
Three hundred, five hundred, or more than a thousand?
Sato Shin didn't dare to imagine.
Especially the death of the four upper ninjas, it made the alarm bell ring in his head, even the upper ninja has the possibility of dying in battle, so what about him whose strength is not as good as that of the upper ninja?
The next day, Sato Shin saw Ibija, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and walked into the mourning hall with him and his inner Yongxin.
There were many people like them, either alone or in two or three people, and each of them had a solemn and solemn expression.
The huge mourning hall is full of black and white, and the most conspicuous thing is the rows of long tables.
On each long table, there are many identical square clay boxes, on which is a gray-white photograph, with the name and team to which it belongs, and these are the containers for the ashes of the deceased.
There are no corpses, and there can be no corpses.
As ninjas, they have too many secrets about the village, so corpses are not allowed to exist, and almost every ninja who dies in battle will be cremated as soon as possible.
The three of them walked along the long table, all the way forward, their eyes sweeping over the photos on one urn after another.
From these photographs, you can see what the deceased looked like before his death.
Among these people, there are middle-aged people in the prime of life, young people who have just come of age, and teenagers.
There are all kinds of people, but the flower of life has withered.
Looking at these photos, Sato Shin felt the most real cruelty in this world.
These people are the war dead, and they are also the "weakling" who have not been able to control their own destiny.
Because he was not strong enough, he died at the hands of the enemy.
They are eliminated by the survival of the fittest rules of this world!
That being said, Sato Shin has no contempt for them, only sympathy.
Ordinary ninjas, it is too difficult and too difficult to control their own destiny.
In the final analysis, this ninja world is the world of the Blood Inheritance Limit, and only the Blood Inheritance Limit is the darling of this world, although ordinary ninjas are not without the existence of becoming strong, but there are too few.
On the other hand, there are too many people who have the Blood Inheritance Limit Boundary to become a strong person, and they are almost impossible to count, in this world, without the Blood Inheritance Limit, they will lose a game by nature, which is also the reason why a shadow-level powerhouse like Orochimaru also longs for the Blood Inheritance Limit.
The three of them walked all the way, and finally stood in front of an urn.
The photo on the urn is of a cheerful and smiling thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
He has a full head of brown hair, wears a ninja suit with obvious graffiti, and looks a bit rebellious, which is none other than Katsumizu Nakatani.
Seeing this photo, Sato Shin thought of the first time he met Nakatani Terumui, when he was also dressed like this, but he didn't have the smile on his face now, but a look of contempt, and as soon as the words came out, Sato Shin's impression of him dropped to a freezing point......
"Senior, although our relationship is not good, I still hope that you will be well in the Pure Land of Bliss after you die."
Looking at the photo, Sato Shin said silently in his heart.
In this ninja world, people do not die with their souls, but go to the Pure Land of Bliss.
There is no doubt that the Pure Land of Bliss is real, after all, the forbidden technique of rebirth in the Land of Filth is to recall the dead from the Pure Land of Bliss, and if the Pure Land of Bliss does not exist, then the recall of the dead will not be successful.
However, because none of the people who were summoned from the Pure Land of Bliss with the Forbidden Reincarnation Technique of the Filthy Land had ever said anything about the Pure Land of Bliss, Sato Shin didn't know what was going on in the Pure Land of Bliss, and he could only pray for Nakatani Terumi in his heart.
