The world of ninjas is actually not as glamorous and exciting as it was known in previous lives. Indeed, when I first learned to tread water, climb trees, fly between trees, and even release the first ninjutsu, the excitement in my heart was indescribable.

But when you get used to all this, endless cultivation will bring only a monotonous and boring life. Because if you just watch anime, it seems that everyone lives a fulfilling life, and there are so many things that you can't finish. But in fact, apart from cultivation, there are really few entertainment activities here......

A bear kid like Naruto can still play graffiti everywhere, but what about Shimizu?? He could only keep cultivating day after day...... But now, lying on the hospital bed recuperating from his injuries, he can't do anything else except be in a daze and think.

So Qing Shui began to recall the bits and pieces that had happened before: the shock of coming to this world when he first found out; For the first time, the ecstasy of chakra was refined; Then there's the novelty of entering the ninja school; followed by graduation as a shinobi to receive guidance from Maru Hoshi Kosuke; The joy of ascending to the middle ninja, and then - war! The Second Shinobi World War, which lasted for nearly a decade......

The tragedy of the war completely shattered all Qing Shui's beautiful illusions about this world, and the corpses everywhere on the battlefield reminded him all the time - weakness is the original sin. So he fell into endless cultivation and lived a dull and boring ninja life...... Join the Dark Division, get to know Gray Eagle, Starfire, and Arashiko, and become the captain of the Dark Division, becoming a Shangnin......

His ninja career was filled with cultivation and killing, so he cherished being able to meet these teammates who could trust his life...... It's just that all this has gone up in smoke, what else can he do for them? Revenge? Can he do it? Is it who is behind this matter? Or just for all the sand shinobi?

'Ouch......' There was a heavy sigh from the bottom of my heart.

People can't be idle, and when they're idle, it's easy to be cranky, and it turns out that even ninjas can't escape this kind of reincarnation.

"It's time for a dressing change." The sweet voice of the nurse came to my ears.

“…… Good. Qing Shui paused, then got up.

As the bandages were untied in circles, the hideous scars were shocking, and the scars of the past no longer told the cruelty of the ninja. And the huge horrific scar on the abdomen - you can imagine the fierceness of the battle at that time.

"Hiss......" The cold wound medicine, as soon as it touched the wound, it was a heart-piercing pain. It hurts even more than when I was first injured.

"It hurts, doesn't it...... No way, that's how this medicine is...... Only after the scar is formed and new flesh grows, it will not hurt so much. The nurse sister quickly changed the wound medicine for Qing Shui, and then wrapped the bandages back layer by layer, it can be seen that she is just an ordinary person, but she is an extremely professional nurse, "It's really nothing good to be a ninja, you have to risk your life like this." ”

Ninja is indeed the closest profession to death...... But it's a dream! What teenager who has watched the Naruto anime wouldn't want to be a real ninja?! The sense of speed that gallops through the trees, the sense of power that wields powerful ninjutsu! Who doesn't yearn for it?!

The nurse lady glanced at the silent Qing Shui, obviously the boy in front of her was just an existence of the same age as her, but why did she have to stick to such a dangerous path? So he continued: "You don't know...... You couldn't even breathe when you first arrived...... It's all your blood on the way to the emergency room! If it weren't for Tsunade-sama's best efforts to save you......" The little nurse didn't continue, revealing a clear meaning. If Tsunade happened to be out of the village that day, the chances of him surviving were slim.

Qing Shui smiled, it seems that this little nurse should have a warm family that has always sheltered her from growing up. In Konoha Village, most of these families will not be just civilian families.

"What's your name?"

"Imadegawa Sara." The nurse lady named Saro Imadegawa said mischievously, "I know what your name is, there is a writing on the bedside." ”

Imadegawa? I have the impression that there is no such wealthy family in the village, and it doesn't look like a ninja family. Qing Shui shook his head, the other party is just an ordinary person, and now he is completely a person from two worlds, what does he need to care about? Recuperate in peace.

Seeing that Shimizu had leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes, he had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he pursed his mouth, tidied up the ward with a little depression, and then left.

"Are you here to find April-kun?" Outside the hospital room, Saro Imadegawa's voice was heard.

"Yes." It was a man with a slightly hoarse voice.

"Then I'll make a registration - someone from April has come to see you!" Imadegawa Sara shouted.

In fact, it is needless to say that he also sensed that someone was coming, and this familiar voice ...... It was a middle-aged man of not burly stature, with a signature short braid on the back of his head.

“…… Kosuke-sensei! Shimizu shouted.

"Hokage-sama sent the Shadow Department to inform me not long ago, saying that you have woken up, so I will come and take a look." The man in front of him is April Shimizu, a teacher with elite ninja strength - Maruki Kosuke.

"Actually, I woke up last night and made a mission report in the morning."

"Then it looks like Hokage-sama still takes good care of you, normally the rule of the dark department is that you have to make a mission report immediately when you wake up." Maru Xing Kosuke smiled, and sat down on a stool in the ward at random, "I didn't expect you to go on such a dangerous mission...... Over the years, I only know that you are in the shadows, and you have performed a lot of A-class and even S-class missions, but, eh, ......"

In fact, since Qing Shui entered the shadows, the communication between the two has gradually decreased. One is that Marukei Kosuke actually doesn't have anything to teach him anymore, and the other is that Shimizu always comes and goes without a trace because of the nature of the work of the dark department, and the two really can't touch each other.

"I think Zuo Wei should have received the news, I guess I'm on my way here." Uchiha Zuowei was a student of Kosuke Kosuke Komaru at the same time as Shimizu, and a companion had already died in the Second Ninja War.

"Is Zuo Wei still in the Konoha Garrison?" Thinking of his best friends, Qing Shui also sighed a little, he himself has few friends, and after so many years, there are really not many old friends who are still alive.

"I saw him in the garrison last month." Marushi Kosuke looked at the student in front of him seriously, he seemed to have changed. For a long time, even if it was a year-long day and night relationship, it was difficult for Kosuke Maruki to tell what Shimizu was thinking from the outside.

Because even when he just graduated, Shimizu had a steadiness that didn't fit his age. He doesn't cry, doesn't make trouble, doesn't lose his temper, and cultivates meticulously and seriously, unlike other precocious ninjas, his personality is not gloomy, he doesn't refuse to communicate with people, he doesn't autify, and he laughs cheerfully. Taken together, Shimizu doesn't look like a ninja at all.

Marushi Kosuke has seen too many ninjas, or passionate, or ambitious, or mediocre, or forbearant and gloomy, but there are no such contradictory ninjas.

Only now, he saw something familiar in Qing Shui's eyes. Years of killing, the death of relatives and friends, can affect the heart of a ninja to some extent. Just now, he also saw these things from Qing Shui's godless eyes.

That's the fate of a ninja. ’

"Looks like he's doing well. Did Hokage-sama say anything? About this mission? Qing Shui asked. He's already made a customs declaration for everything he knows and submitted it to the Shadows, so what should the three generations of Hokage do?

"Hokage-sama means that you recuperate from your injuries first, this is your priority at the moment. As for everything else, let's put it down first. I also understand the extent of your injuries, and if you don't get completely better, it will affect your ninja career in the future...... By the way, Xinghuo is also in the hospital, just downstairs in ward 311, you can go to see him at any time. And the relics of the gray eagle have been handed over to the Hyuga family, and as for the relics of Arashiko, they should be cremated with the corpse at the next funeral......"

“…… All right. "Whether it's Tsunade last night, the Captain of the Dark Army in the morning, the current Kosuke Sensei, or even the meaning of the three generations of Hokage, they all persuade him to recuperate from his injuries first; And what else can he do with the dead of his men, the wounded of his wounds? Since everyone didn't want to tell him about the injury and the ins and outs of the whole thing, then he also wanted to be quiet and recuperate with peace of mind.

"You've done a good job, we'll take care of the rest. Concentrate on healing, we're still waiting for you to come back! Kosuke Maru walked over and patted Shimizu on the shoulder.

"Got it, I'll take care of my injuries." Qing Shui nodded in response.

"Okay, I'm also on a mission, stop by to see you, it's time for me to go. Eh...... Ninja......" Kosuke Maru sighed.

"Good!" Qing Shui's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't understand what the teacher was feeling.

So in the following days, Qing Shui gathered his mind and concentrated on recuperating his injuries. As for his own injury, he also probably knew in his heart, if the big wound in his abdomen cracked again, it would probably not be so simple to heal again, and it would inevitably affect his future growth. He must not stop here, so he honestly recuperates his injuries, changes his dressing on time every day, and does not move or breathe.

During the period of recuperation, friends came to visit him one after another: Zuo Wei was very excited when he came, and told him that when he was discharged from the hospital, he would give him a big gift, which was mysterious. But what surprised him the most was that Bo Feng Shuimen would actually bring his students to see him, you must know that Bo Feng Shuimen had more or less respected him as a "parallel genius" in the past. During this period, Uchiha Obito also released big words to avenge him, which provoked Kakashi to taunt, at this time, Obito, Kakashi and Rin, the three little ghosts are still very optimistic and cheerful.

By the way, Starfire also came to his hospital room and told him in detail about the whole process of their being pursued. The two sand ninja teams caught up with them that night, and they don't know how they found their traces. Unable to escape, without backup, Xinghuo and Lanhu can only fight to the death...... After killing the two of them, Shinobu unusually didn't take their corpses, and Starfire escaped by faking his death, but he also lost his legs forever, and Arashiko left this world forever.

During this time, the high-level officials in the village were deliberately blocking the news, and there was no news about such a big thing, they were obviously planning something and waiting for something. It's very close to the time point of the third ninja war, is this incident the fuse of the third war?

Qing Shui knew very well that if he wanted to continue to participate in this matter, a healthy body was a must. There are more battles ahead of him, and he won't stop there! Because he didn't forget about the deal with Orochimaru. Orochimaru said that he would come to him again, presumably after his injuries healed.

The mountain rain is coming, and he can only struggle in the long river of fate.
