The rain is still falling.

Two bouquets of flowers, one large and one small, slowly change color under the infiltration of rainwater; The liquid in the glass was still full, but the wine inside slowly seeped into the ground mixed with rainwater; The buns on the plate also melted little by little, and only a few pieces of fresh meat remained neat there; A small clump of rabbit fur swayed in front of the tomb, but there was no sign of water or being blown away.

Suddenly, a vague gray figure appeared in front of the tomb, with a white shadow pinned to its chest. It slowly reached out and stroked the somewhat rusty dagger, again and again, as if missing something.

A gust of wind blew, and the figure swayed, disappearing little by little.

Disappeared with it, and the snow-white rabbit fur.

……

The four of them who had returned home sat in a small, barely repaired bungalow, somewhat silent. Obviously, everyone has not recovered from this accident.

They feel sorry for Grandma Koda, they feel sorry for Kawada, and they feel sorry for those who died.

Although the people in the town are not rich, their hearts are six or seven points good. There is more than one "Boss Tanaka", and there are also many "Mrs. Inoue". If it weren't for that, Xiao Nan and Yahiko wouldn't have survived the day Shen Qi arrived.

But those kind-hearted people have not died now.

In fact, the people of the town have also experienced and expected such a situation. To be able to live in peace and stability for about two years in a chaotic country like the Land of Rain is a luxury for everyone.

So the people of the town are lucky and grateful.

But they are also hateful to ninjas because ninjas are powerful, cruel, cunning, and take pleasure in slaughtering ordinary people. It was the ninjas who ruined their homes, again and again, year after year.

"Damn it!" Yahiko suddenly stood up and punched the table hard.

"Click......

This punch made the already unsturdy table even worse, and it was directly split in half. Sharp wooden thorns burst out and pierced straight into Yahiko's hand.

Suddenly, blood flowed.

"Yahiko!"

"Tachibana!"

The three of them were startled and looked at him in surprise.

"They, why do they!" The anger in Yahiko's eyes almost turned into a real outpouring of substance, "Ninjas, exist to protect the people they love, the village they love, and the country they love!" Why did that Iwa Shinobi do this! And why did those big powers do this! ”

"Yahiko ......"

"They are not qualified to do this to our town, let alone to our country!" Yahiko roared.

Konan and Nagato bowed their heads and said nothing.

Shen Qi looked at it and sighed in his heart.

There is no way, the country of rain is sandwiched between several major countries, which is equivalent to the existence of a crossroads, and whoever fights has to pass through it. Fighting around, this place is simply reduced to a buffer zone for fighting.

When a war is over, the great powers have lost some soldiers and money, and after recuperation, they can live again. And the country of rain, which is the main battlefield, is only full of devastation, and there is no hope for a strong country.

This is the helplessness of the small country that survives in the cracks, and it is also the original intention of the three of Yahiko to establish the Akatsuki Organization in the future - they want to gather a strong force to fight against those outsiders who have spoiled this place at will, so that they can retreat and return peace to the land of rain.

"Tick, tick, tick......"

The hastily manicured roof began to leak rain, drop by drop, on the dilapidated floor, and also on the hearts of the people.

"Konan, Nagato, did you hear that?" Yahiko asked suddenly.

"Hear what?" Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

"The country is crying." Yahiko pursed his lips and looked at everyone, his eyes were more determined than ever, and the childishness on his face was slowly fading, "I heard it, that voice mixed with the sound of rain, crying all the time!" ”

"Hmm......" Nagato and Konan nodded silently.

"I want to save my country, to save our country, to save this country that knows nothing but to cry! And in order to do this, we have to become stronger, to become as powerful as those two Shangnin, and even a hundred times stronger than them! Yahiko stood up and looked at everyone seriously, "But, if we stay in the town, we won't be able to learn those powerful ninjutsu, so ......"

Nagato and Konan looked at him, and there was a faint guess in their hearts.

"So, let's get ready, and the day after tomorrow we will set off and go to a place where there are few people, quiet, and where we can practice large-scale ninjutsu. If we can, we'll go deep into the battlefield and learn some ninjutsu. Yahiko said the decision that everyone was not surprised by, "Little bungalow, please ask them to take care of the island, after all, there are still good memories of us here." ”

"Okay." Nagato and Konan nodded and stood up as well.

"We want to cheer together, for the people we love, and for the country we love." Yahiko held out his hand.

"Come on!" Nagato and Konan gently covered their hands.

At this moment, the three little ones only felt the temperature of the palms of their partners, and they were connected again.

Shen Qi straightened up and looked at the three little ones deeply. She may never forget that in the autumn of Konoha 29, three days after the ninja raid, her little orange and little red really determined their goals in life and really grew up.

Pain is not the best way to grow, but it is the fastest.

……

On the second day, Sanxiao only packed up all the things he needed to bring and prepared to wake up Shen Qi to eat.

They didn't want to wait for a moment, the newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and the three little ones didn't know how many difficulties would wait for them in the future, but they knew that time was money, and they immediately left the town where they had lived for more than two years as soon as they said hello to the boss Tanaka.

Suddenly, there were a lot of sounds coming from outside the door on and off.

"That's them...... Come on. ”

"They...... Ninja ............"

“…… See...... Tree climbing ......"

"It's just ...... for them"

“…… Hurt us! ”

The three little ones looked at each other with a hint of foreboding.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, open the door quickly." The voice of the fish shop owner sounded outside the door, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a tremble.

Yahiko frowned, motioned for Nagato and Konan to take a few steps back, and stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Funaguchi, did you tell us something?" ”

"Is it Yahiko?" The voice outside the door paused for a moment, then sounded again, "It's nothing, you open the door first, open the door, and I'll tell you." ”

"Don't open the door...... Nagato shook his head from a distance, "Uncle Funaguchi's tone is very wrong!" ”

"And there's a lot of people out there." Xiao Nan was a little panicked.

Yahiko also felt strange, and he was a little hesitant.

"Open the door, Yahiko." The owner of the fish shop outside the door seemed to feel Yahiko's uneasiness, and spoke up again, "I came this time to thank you very much!" If it weren't for you, my legs would be useless! So I ...... My legs have improved a lot these days, and I specially asked someone to push a chair for me to thank you! I also brought two of your favorite big black fish! ”

In fact, there is no problem with listening to this sentence alone. But the people outside never thought that the hearing of the three little ninjas who became ninjas was far beyond ordinary people, not to mention that the newly repaired wooden door had no sound insulation effect......

Yahiko lowered her eyes, and all kinds of emotions surged in her eyes.

Nagato and Xiao Nan clenched their fists and shook their heads at him gently: Don't open the door, something is wrong.

But Yahiko still opened in the end, with trust in everyone, with gratitude to everyone, and nostalgia for the town. Even if he had a hunch that the front might be full of thorns, he wanted to see whether the world was bitter or sweet.

The moment he opened the door, he saw a lot of people, men and women, old and young, but each one he had his name on.

"You ......"

"Smack!" A cabbage leaf was suddenly thrown in Yahiko's face.

"That's him! This unfilial child! He was the one who killed Granny Koda! ”

Yahiko looked over in surprise.

"Poof......" Another rotten fruit was thrown on Yahiko's chest.

"You're hiding! Aren't you amazing! What about Hercules, why don't you dare to resist? ”

Yahiko froze in place.

"Bang!" A rotten egg smashed on Yahiko's head, blowing up a bunch of egg drops, and the fishy yellow slime flowed down Yahiko's cheeks, and little by little the rain washed down to the neckline.

Seeing this, the people holding various things in their hands froze. The person in front of him is the child everyone watched grow up, who threw the egg so hard?

"Yahiko!" Nagato and Xiao Nan, who were hiding behind, heard such a crisp voice, they couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly ran forward to grab Yahiko, "Brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, what did we do wrong, and you want to do this to us?" ”

Everyone lowered their heads a little weakly, and somewhat flinched.

"He's fine! They're ninjas! They were the ones who attracted the ninjas! Hit them! Suddenly, a slightly familiar sharp voice sounded from behind, like a sharp blade, stabbing in Yahiko's heart, stabbing in the hearts of Nagato and Konan, and also waking up the hesitant crowd.

They are not innocent children, they are abominable ninjas!

Everyone was boiling, and the things in their hands were thrown to the three little ones without reservation.

"They're the ones who attracted the terrible ninjas!"

"Get rid of them! Drive them away! ”

"If you don't learn well at a young age, what to learn to be a ninja, don't do your job, harm others and yourself!"

"You are the fault of what is happening in the town, get out of here!"

"We've been safe here for two years, and if it weren't for you, those two terrible ninjas wouldn't have come, and we wouldn't have died so many people! All of this is caused by you three imps who don't know the height of the sky! ”

"Such a sinister person still has the face to do business in our town!"

"We shouldn't have bailed you out in the first place! I didn't expect to raise a group of white-eyed wolves and bring us such a big disaster! ”

The three little ones hugged each other and silently endured the scolding and beating of everyone. So far, there is still something they don't understand.

Everyone, blame them.

Because they learned ninjutsu.
