Chapter 2: War Orphans

Since the Senju Pillar, the first to establish a ninja village, strongly intervened in the wars of various countries and ended the decades-long war, relying on the tailed beasts he distributed as a force restraint, various countries have also established ninja villages to restrain the powerful Konoha Ninja Village. On the one hand, it is to protect the tailed beast of one's own country from being stolen by other countries, and then incur the tragedy of destroying the country, and on the other hand, it is also to be able to make a profit in another war in the future, and no matter how bad it is, you must protect your country from being wiped out, right?

Because of the ninja joining, the current war slowly turned from an army of ordinary soldiers and samurai to a war between ninjas. Ninjas have strong combat effectiveness, an ordinary ninja can easily eliminate a team of elite soldiers, and a shadow-level strong man can destroy the country independently, and now there are not so many ordinary soldiers who can be put into the battlefield, war is the most consuming entrance!

The war is over, but the scars caused by the war are not so easy to heal, and a large number of deserters and samurai who have lost their lords have become bandits, who can only kill people and bring more trouble to the major powers that have not yet recovered. Often, they looted one village after another, leaving behind corpses and destroyed villages, testifying to their evil deeds. The main income of the newly established ninja villages in the major countries is now to clean up these people.

Ever since the Battle of the Thousand Hands Pillars broke out between the Valley of the End and Madara Uchiha, and after being besieged by several Shinobi after killing Madara Uchiha, he was seriously injured and died, the Konoha Ninja Village has faced a severe test of being besieged by ninja villages from other countries. The Konoha Ninja Village, which lost the strongest Senju Pillar and Madara Uchiha, stubbornly resisted the invasion of various countries under the leadership of the younger brother of the first Hokage Senju Tsuruma and the second Hokage Senju Kakuma.

War is always cruel, even if only ninjas are fighting now, but as a representative of the current high-end force, the destructive power of ninjas is simply better than those bandit deserters. A standard team of lower ninja led by a middle ninja can easily wipe out a village, and they are happy to do such a thing as consuming the vitality of other countries.

"How many are these?" Sarutobi looked at the dead samurai in front of him expressionlessly, and asked indifferently, behind him were his teammates, who were also expressionless looking at the devastated village. It's the time of the war, and they've seen too many villages like this.

No one answered Sarutobi's words, this future third-generation Hokage is now just a little hairy head who has just been promoted to a shinobi, even if he has enough prestige in his team, it doesn't mean that the current Koharu and Mito Menyan will be in the mood to answer him.

Just the day before, they had just taken a break in the village, and when they had just returned from their mission, they saw such a scene, and even if they were used to seeing such a scene, they could not accept such a thing. The people who were smiling at them yesterday are now only dead heads, how can such a thing be acceptable?

"This is war!" Ape Fei Ri Slash took a deep breath, then sighed deeply, and said to his teammates with a resolute look in his eyes: "We completed the mission quickly this time, there is still a long time before the deadline of the mission, I want to find out if there are any survivors." ”

Ninjas have to report back as soon as they complete their missions, because even a small time difference can make a huge difference on the battlefield. Knowing in their hearts that it would be against the rules of ninja to do so, the young Koharu and Mito Menyan nodded anyway, and each scattered to start looking for survivors, and by the way, burying those who had been repaid yesterday. They are ninjas, but they are still young people, with their own persistence and enthusiasm, and it is not a big deal to just violate the rules of ninjas.

Because they are ninjas, with the help of the magical power of chakra, they move very fast. Although none of their teams are professional scouts, they still have the ability to facilitate the living and the dead, and they don't need to tell how to tell the difference, all of these dead people have been beheaded, and those who have not been beheaded are alive.

Soon, the three-man team regrouped at the entrance of the village, where there was a kneeling man, the only one who had kept his head. The man in front of him was a 5.6-year-old child, whom they all knew, and this child was the adopted son of the only samurai in the village, and it was said that the samurai had brought back an orphan from the battlefield. The reason why they met was because they saw this boy when they first entered the village yesterday, and he was alone in contact with the knife technique, and because he was very skilled in his movements, he was praised by Ape Fei Ri Chop.

"Kan Tanaka." Muttering the name in his mouth, Sarufei Ri Slash didn't expect that it would be this child who would survive in the whole village, this child who completely ignored everything around him when he was connected with the knife technique, as if only the wooden knife in his hand had given him great surprise.

In front of the place where Tanaka was kneeling, there was a man who had no head but was still standing there without falling, and Sarutobi knew that this person was Tanaka's adoptive father, a samurai with a broken hand. It is conceivable that at that time, this man must have dragged his mutilated body and resolutely stood up against the invading people, but the other party was too powerful, so powerful that he cut off his head with just one sword.

Just now they had inspected the entire village, and they already knew who had slaughtered the entire village, judging from the death of each deceased, all of them were beheaded with a knife, without exception, and it was obvious that there was only one person on the other side. And they also know who this person is, because there is only one person in the world who likes to kill others in this way, and the owner of the beheading big knife in the Seven Swords of the Mist Ninja, Momochi Ghost Chop, likes to cut off the opponent's head!

Ape Fei Ri just stood there quietly and watched, he did not step forward to comfort this bereaved little child, in this chaotic era, comfort has no effect. All he can do is wait quietly, maybe this child will want to have great power because of hatred, maybe he will do nothing because he is afraid of doing nothing, and then die quietly one day, this is the fate of the weak.

Zhuan Xiaochun patted Ape Feiri on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Don't delay time, we should go back to recover our lives." Although he was equally sympathetic to the boy's plight, he had seen too many such things, and although he was only 20 years old now, the cruelty of war never mattered how old you were.

Ape Fei Ri nodded, walked to the boy's side and looked at the severed head warrior who was standing and said lightly, "Xian, are you leaving with us, or are you going to do something?" ”

Tanaka Xian, who had not moved, moved at this time, his hand grabbed a long knife with a black scabbard, and then he looked up at the ape flying sun, and asked in a very calm voice: "Follow you, can you make me stronger?" ”

Ape Feiri sighed slightly in his heart, there was no longer a trace of innocence in the boy's eyes, except for the dead silence, only the fire of revenge remained. Although he didn't really want to bring such a person back to Konoha , but this child was only a few years old after all, and he believed that in an environment like Konoha would make him experience something other than hatred, and Sarutobi had this confidence.

"As long as you work hard, you will become very strong and strong." Ape Feiri patted Tanaka Xian's head and said lightly: "I can only lead the way for you, I can't help you become stronger, your future can only be decided by yourself." "This is his teacher, the second Hokage told him when he first taught him, and now he tells this child, but I don't know if this child can become a strong man like him?

"Then I'll go with you!" Tanaka nodded, turned around and put the long knife on his back, and calmly stood in front of Sarutobi Slash. From the moment he began to speak, he didn't look at the corpse of the dead samurai, even if he was slashed away by the ape flying sun, he didn't look back.

They didn't feel anything strange about Tanaka, there were some things to hide in their hearts, and the cowardly performance would only make people look down on them.

Looking at Tanaka Xian, who was silent in his arms, Sarutobi Hichicho sighed in his heart while trying to slow down as much as possible to avoid causing harm to the child by moving at high speed: "Alas... Damn war! ”

Regarding the matter of the ape flying sun slashing team bringing back a child, basically no one in Konoha's headquarters camp will ask anything, and there are many war orphans. However, as a disciple of the second Hokage, Sarutobi Hizashi still handed over Tanaka Xian, who was already asleep, to the dark department, and I believe that the dark department will quickly determine whether Tanaka Xian is a spy in the enemy ninja village.

Although I know a lot of things about Tanaka Xian, I also believe that a child like Tanaka Xian will not become a spy of an enemy country or something, if you really want to steal the information of the Konoha Ninja Village, it will obviously be much easier to get a corpse directly, at least in the current era when this ninja village has just appeared. But there is no harm in being cautious, at least Tanaka will not have to be watched by people in the shadows every day in the future, and there is no privacy at all.

As for what kind of means the people in the shadows will use to determine whether Tanaka Xian is a spy or not, Sarutobi is not worried at all, because they have a family in Konoha Village that can spy on people's hearts and even check their memories. What's more, why does the dark department have to give themselves, the direct disciples of the second generation of Hokage, a little face, and it won't hurt Tanaka Xian, after all, God knows if the next generation of Hokage will be born from their team?

After handing over the task, Sarutobi went directly to see his teacher, the second Hokage Senju, about the discovery of the Momochi Ghost Slash at the door of his house, he felt that he still needed to inform him.

"Beheading the broadsword?" Hearing the report of his proud disciple, his brows moved, and then he asked Ape Fei Ri to go back to rest.

"Is this a vote? You actually hit me with all the ideas? Haven't I made a move for too long, so do I dare to provoke it? While correcting the documents, Thousand Hands said to himself: "If you want to go to the Misty Ninja Village in the Land of Water, you will come to the Land of Fire to kill people?" Hehe, isn't it too simple? ”

After that, Momochi Ghost Slash led his family to the sea road to the land of water, and tragically encountered a powerful tsunami, almost feeding the whole clan to fish! Even so, the Momochi clan that finally arrived in the Misty Ninja Village was only a few big cats and kittens. As for the Konoha Ninja Village's second-generation Hokage Senju, why did it appear near the sea area where they were killed, could it be that people would tell you casually if they were passing by to make soy sauce?

After the investigation of the dark department, Tanaka Xian unknowingly obtained the certificate of good citizenship of Konoha, and then he didn't even have time to say goodbye to the ape flying sun, so he was thrown directly into the wounded barracks and directly drove back to Konoha. And even if he had time, it would be impossible for him to say goodbye to Ape Fei Ri, so how could a powerful thug have a leisurely rest in a time of war when manpower was tight? People have already received the task to take people to brush up on the battlefield dungeons.

But in fact, there is not much affection between them, and the sky is just that Ape Fei Ri gave Tanaka Xian a chance, just like he said: "I can only show you the way, not help you". The rest can only be grasped by Tanaka Xian, it doesn't matter if the adult or Jackie Chan and the ape fly to the sun, at least now it has no relationship.
