"Ninja-sama, please."

"This is the beautiful woman in our village, and the silver coins and jewels."

"Ladies ninjas, take it as soon as possible, as long as it doesn't hurt the lives of the people in our village, then anything is fine."

……

"You invaders of the land of fire, damn it! Damn it! ”

"What if you kill me alone, there are thousands of people in the Land of Thunder behind me!"

"The Land of Thunder will never give in to the Land of Fire!"

……

"In order to promote peace, our Thunder Country sent a peace team to the Fire Country, but we were humiliated and imprisoned by you!"

"Now, you are still falsely accusing us of being war-torn!"

"Heaven is unjust!"

……

"Don't kill us, don't kill us."

"Ninja from the Land of Fire, these poisons were all ordered by the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village."

"They're in the village right now, I'll take you!"

……

Since it was a straight line, the Uchiha's team inevitably entered some villages and towns along the way.

And even so, the Uchiha's team was really like an ordinary merchant or tourist team, and they settled in the inns of these villages and towns or borrowed them in a regular manner, and paid a certain fee.

However, although they are in a proper manner, they face the masses of these thunder countries.

The people of the Land of Thunder may not appreciate it.

In order to survive, some people from the Land of Thunder had already offered all the treasures and beauties before the Uchiha's team entered the village.

Each of them is like a stall, placing things and people on the side of the road for the Uchiha ninja to choose.

And some people, under the instructions of the ninjas of Yunyin, poisoned the food, but unfortunately, the poison technique alone could not stop the Uchiha's team, and after the matter was revealed, they would also betray the ninjas of Yunyin Village for their lives.

In addition to these who want to live, there are also those who want to die.

The reckless men raised the strength of thousands of people to die for their country, although they were ordinary people, but they would rather become the ghost of the Uchiha's sword than be the kneeling slave of the country.

Helpless scholars and a group of scholars stopped the Uchiha's team and tried to convince them. ’

But no matter how their mouths bloom and gush, they can only become white bones in the path of the Uchiha like those reckless men.

'Invaders', 'Warbreakers', 'Scourges', 'Despicable Firelanders'......

Various titles were placed on the Uchiha's ranks.

For those who did not care about life and death, and were unwilling to let the Uchiha's team enter their village, Itachi did not order to stay.

Whoever stands in his way dies.

Although the people of the Uchiha are arrogant and disdain to do things with ordinary people, if those people dare to ask for their own hardships, the Uchiha will not show mercy.

And those who curse people, as long as they don't face each other, they will turn a blind eye.

The main reason is that this section of the road from the border of the Thunder Country to Yunyin Village has killed too much!

In the current era of withering countries, the number of ninja is counted in units of '10,000' at most.

But the number of ordinary people is at least in the unit of 'tens of millions'.

The war between the two countries, if it is a small-scale war, is probably a contest between ninjas.

But now, with the outbreak of a large-scale war, the Uchiha's team has been invincible all the way after entering the Land of Thunder, and the Cloud Hidden Village has never moved, this is no longer just a matter of ninjas, but involves the entire country, regardless of any profession.

Even ordinary people are not immune to such wars.

Some people, who choose to stand up in such a situation, leave their lives and deaths behind, they seem to forget the gap between ninjas and ordinary people, some of them may be from humble backgrounds, but their souls and spirits are supreme.

They do what they have to do and do what they have to do.

And some people, choose to bend down and kneel at this time, they leave their dignity behind, they seem to have forgotten their identity as the people of the land of thunder, some of them may be from high positions, but their souls and spirits are like wild dogs wagging their tails and begging for food on the side of the road.

They're doing what they need to do, they're doing what they have to do.

All of these are possible.

It's just a human choice.

To live, or to die.

Who will pay attention to whether those wild dogs wagging their tails and begging for food on the side of the road are for the sake of the family, and they choose the latter with great difficulty among national hatred and family hatred.

Who cares about whether those who are desperate and put life and death aside are people who are alone and have nothing.

These are just choices.

Itachi Uchiha has also made a choice.

"Patriarch, a ninja from the cloud has just arrived with a letter from the daimyo of our Fire Country."

"The Daimyo hopes that we will be more restrained."

"He believes that the land of fire and the country of thunder can now be resolved through negotiations."

"The five generations of Konoha Village have also sent letters, hoping that we can stop moving."

"Konoha Village has communicated with Lei Ying of Yunyin Village, hoping to solve the problem in a relatively peaceful way."

……

It's just a few villages in a town away from Yunyin Village.

In an inn,

Itachi had just finished washing up after dinner and was about to rest.

And at the door, the sound of Uchiha stopping the water came from the voice.

"Burned the letter."

Itachi replied in a cold tone, "In the future, any Cloud Hidden Ninja enters under the pretext of sending a message, and kills them directly." ”

“…… Be. ”

The sound of the Uchiha stopping the water sounded outside the door.

Then, the whole inn fell silent.

There is no bustle when he first enters the land of thunder, and when he steps into the nameless village on the border of the country of thunder, there is no arrogant boasting.

The entire Uchiha team, not knowing when it began, became silent and quiet.

Maybe......

It was the last village under the leadership of the local village chief, and the whole village was martyred, trying to stop the Uchiha's progress.

Or perhaps, it was after the Yunyin ninjas who were halfway through the march and cooperated with the scholar officials to launch an ambush were killed.

The Uchiha ninjas present no longer feel joy and pleasure in winning the battle.

And Uchiha Itachi is also ordinary, although his expression is no different from usual, but his demeanor is no longer as calm as before, but should be ......'cold. ’

If you win more, will you be numb?

Itachi listened to the Uchiha Shisui leaving, and lay down on the bed again.

As soon as he closed his eyes, a resentful, hateful, flattering, and humble face appeared in front of his eyes.

The faces were unfamiliar, perhaps just a quick glance, but the Uchiha Itachi still remembered them clearly.

He didn't make a move, and Artoria was average.

From the moment they stepped into the Land of Thunder, they didn't need to do it themselves, and the Uchiha's team was able to deal with most of the attacks.

The situation in Yunyin Village is even worse than imagined.

According to the news given by Konoha that the main force of Yunyin Village has all withdrawn from the country of Tian and returned to defend the country.

But along the way, there weren't many ninjas who intervened to intercept their entire team.

And more often, it is the ninjas who cooperate with the ordinary people of the Land of Thunder to act.

Probably, it's to gather forces to besiege and kill the Uchiha.

But...... Their posture this time should not be as easy to defeat as that time.

After all, a defensive battle that is enough to destroy a country is not the same as an invasion battle that leaves one's home country for another country.

Itachi closed his eyes and faced the faces that came to mind, and fell asleep peacefully.

I...... Is it the bad guy?

However, before falling asleep again, a question could not help but arise in his heart.

And in the room next to Itachi, Artoria sighed silently.
