Chapter 24: White
"Are you such a powerful adult?"
Listening to Sasuke's wild words, the village chief had a look of extreme surprise on his face.
Of course, it is unknown whether this surprise is really surprised by Sasuke's strength, or if he is simply flattering Sasuke.
After all, if someone suddenly says to you———
Even the strongest in your country is not necessarily my opponent.
At this time, will you believe it, or will you look at this person with a neurotic gaze?
Of course, no matter what, the village chief didn't dare to look at Sasuke with too rude eyes.
Ninjas, strong or weak, are not something that a small village like theirs can offend.
So, for a while, Sasuke didn't know what this old man was like.
"This is the fate of our small village.
When I was younger, the water country wasn't what it is now.
The first lord worked with the four shadows of the other five great powers to calm the troubled times.
Although the second generation of adults is keen on war, they have also brought the land of water to a peak of prosperity.
The three generations of adults have inherited the legacy of the first and second generations, and no matter what, they have not made the country any worse.
But when it came to the four generations of Mizukage-sama............"
The old man suddenly sighed, looking at his age, he was also fifty or sixty years old.
In this world, he can be regarded as an advanced age, and in a sense, he can be regarded as a long-lived old man from the five major powers standing side by side at the end of the Warring States Period.
It's just that the old man's speech made Sasuke roll his eyes a little.
After pacifying the troubled times, there is no dance king of their Uchiha clan.
Also, the daimyo of the land of water, so there is no sense of existence?
In this way, it seems that the rise and fall of the water country was brought about by those water shadows.
Obviously, perhaps because of the original status sound, the old man's cognition is actually very one-sided.
"It's time for four generations of adults......"
The sorrow in the corners of the old man's eyes became more and more intense, but he still didn't dare to say that the four generations of Mizukage Goji Yakura were not.
Perhaps, it is also a worry.
If his words leak out, it may bring ruin to the village.
"I don't know when, the ninja adults who once protected the country began to defect to the Fog Hidden Village in large numbers.
Began to wreak havoc in the entire land of the Land of Water. ”
"Those powerful ninja families with special powers are regarded as the source of war and disaster, and are also regarded by the villagers as the source of disaster."
The old man avoided the important and trivialized, skipped the culprit of the fourth generation of Mizukage, and instead directly talked about the changes in the Fog Hidden Village over the years, resulting in the changes in the water country.
"So, there are foreign ninjas who have come to your village.
Making waves? ”
Sasuke asked, with a slight muffle in his voice.
Obviously, he didn't show anything too frivolous.
After all, the village in front of me has suffered a lot.
If you ask with interest or a smile, it will obviously make people feel like they are gloating.
"No, actually, due to the remoteness of Snow Village.
Our village has not been ravaged by the ninja adults.
However, it is still influenced by the public opinion of the entire water country, and the adults of the ninja family with special powers (blood inheritors) are regarded as the source of monsters and war.
An older guy like the old man, who has some knowledge, is okay, and has experienced the reign of all Mizukage-sama.
I understand that those family ninja adults, but the heroes who established the Fog Hidden Village are the heroes of the Water Country.
But those young people regard those adults as a cancer on the current situation of the water country. ”
The wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to be even more, and he was hunched over, and his eyes seemed to be blurry.
"So what?"
Sasuke knew that what was going on was the truth about the current situation in this village.
For a while, Sasuke also guessed that this situation might really be an incident of Shiro fleeing the village.
A hostile blood-bound limiter or something.
Sure enough, the old man's next words completely verified Sasuke's guess.
"It's the fate of the village!
Also my mistake.
I told the little ones that the ninja adults with special powers weren't actually as evil as they were as they were rumored.
They also contributed greatly to the establishment of the Water Nation.
However, perhaps the entire Mizuna Nation is treating those ninja adults with special powers as evil.
So my words, not many young people want to believe. ”
The old man muttered in a low voice, and beside him, several young men lowered their heads and clenched their fists tightly.
I didn't know what I was thinking for a while.
Perhaps, they are one of those who despise the words of the elderly.
"On that day, Purple's son, White, suddenly showed the power of ice.
Murasaki is an alien woman who falls in love with Ryosuke in the village and gives birth to Shiro.
White......
In fact, he is a very cute and sensible child. ”
The old man suddenly told a new story, and his voice became more and more hoarse, but it made Sasuke's heart skip a beat.
"Sure enough."
Sasuke thought to himself.
"White!
He's not a hero at all, he's a demon.
Whether it's Brother Xiaolin or Brother Amu......
There are more than ten young people in our village.
All of them were killed by that demon with the power of ice! ”
Just when the old man of the village chief wanted to continue, a young man on the side suddenly roared.
He stared at the village chief, his eyes full of resentment and pain.
The other young people also looked excited, and their faces were full of hatred.
"You ......"
The old man wanted to refute, but looking at the young man's painful eyes, he suddenly lost the strength to continue.
He wanted to defend Bai, but he opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head weakly.
How can he defend himself, and what qualifications does he have.
In any case, Shiro killed more than a dozen descendants in his favorite village who he watched grow up.
Even though, Shiro never did anything wrong.
Perhaps, the next story does not need to be told by the village chief.
I kind of know. ”
"You heard that the boy named Bai has the power of the so-called demon.
So I wanted to kill him, but in the end I was killed by the counter-killing.
And those of you who survived, maybe because you couldn't bear to embarrass a child, or maybe you didn't have time to go at that time.
That's why a life was saved. ”
Based on the memories of the foreign land and the old man's narration, Sasuke probably restored a similar story.
Of course, he knew the more accurate version, but he shouldn't have known it so clearly without enough information.
“………”
The young man's angry expression froze suddenly, and then fell into deep sorrow.
Sasuke is right, it is precisely because he has pity for Ryosuke's family that he did not participate in the affairs of his family, so he survived.
The other young people next to the old man were also about the same for this reason.
But it is precisely because they survived that they feel even more guilty.
The strong guilt made their mentality even a little broken and distorted.
will directly attribute all sins to white, the greatest demon.
