Chapter XVIII

The roots, in Konoha is a mysterious department.

Few of the middle and lower ninjas in the village even knew about the existence of this department.

Even Chihiro's grandfather, the elderly Shinobi who has been retired for many years, doesn't know much about the roots, so he hasn't mentioned much about the roots with Chihiro.

But as a traverser who has read the original book, Chihiro knows very well in her heart what kind of character the bandage man is with the root and the controller of the root.

Deeply rooted in darkness and ruthless.

Kill the darkness of the ninja world decisively.

Ninjas who enter the roots can only hide in the dark all their lives, and they are all emotionless killing tools.

And what they do is not seen in the light.

So, being tracked by the roots is never a good thing.

Chihiro has a premonition that her good life is coming to an end.

The root is a hornet's nest, Chihiro never thought of poking it, but now it is actively approached by a hornet, which will shoot off one, and it will inevitably attract more.

But if you don't shoot, you can't do it, Chihiro knows that Tuan Zang is a very purposeful and unscrupulous person, since he sent someone to follow him, it is absolutely impossible to invite him to eat eggs.

And as long as you don't want to invite him to eat eggs...... Uh, anyway, if you're targeted by Tuan Zang, you can't take any chances.

In addition, for Chihiro, the group includes the roots, and it is not really a good person or a bad person.

The ninjas who live in the ninja world are all murderous people.

Except for young children, there are no good people in Chihiro's eyes.

It can only be said that no matter whether it is a good person or a bad person, it is someone else who does not provoke himself, and the one who provokes himself is the enemy.

As for the enemy, Chihiro will not be soft at all.

Just like the one who is lying down now.

When she discovers that this is a ninja wearing a root mask, Chihiro decides to kill her.

"Kill him." Chihiro suppressed a certain emotion in her heart and ordered.

In the previous battle, Chihiro's shadow clone didn't make a move, and its mission was to respond sideways in case the man escaped.

"How to kill?" The shadow clone asked.

Chihiro's eyes were cold: "Twist his head." ”

The shadow clone's face froze: "Uh, isn't it too cruel?" ”

"Huh?" Chihiro looked at the shadow clone in displeasure: "Then how do you say to kill." ”

The shadow clone was a little embarrassed and said, "Or, bury it alive?" ”

"The other party is a ninja, what if you can't bury it?"

"Well, or, you can get another shadow clone out and kill it."

", let you kill it, where did you get so much nonsense on your horse, hurry up."

"Oh, fierce old man."

"Huh?"

"Goodbye."

"Hey..."

"Bang!"

“……”

After speaking, the shadow clone crashed into the big tree next to him and dissipated on the spot.

Chihiro's eyes widened, and she almost crushed her teeth.

Annoyed, he separated two shadow clones again, and ordered only one to kill the root ninja.

As a result, the two shadow clones looked at each other, and neither of them moved.

Chihiro was angry.

But there was nothing to be done.

His shadow clone has always been like this,

Although there is an independent consciousness, the three views are all based on ontological cognition, so what Chihiro doesn't want to do, they don't want to do either.

Chihiro really didn't want to kill.

If you wanted to kill, you would have been killed just now.

The reason why I didn't kill it was because I couldn't do it.

But if you don't kill it, you can't do it.,The root ninjas are all emotionless tools.,It's a die-hard loyalist of the group.,You can't torture any useful information if you keep it.,If you let it go, you'll only leak your own information.。

It's very difficult.

"Forget it," Chihiro pointed to a shadow clone and arranged: "You go to Kai, teach him Bajiquan today first, teach him carefully." ”

"Oh."

“…… There is labor! ”

"Okay."

Chihiro was a little unbearable, gritted her teeth at the other doppelganger and said, "You're useless, go die." ”

"Huh, that's it?"

"Get out."

"Hello, goodbye."

"Bang!"

……

After about twenty minutes, the root ninja woke up from a coma from a serious injury.

At this time, it was wrapped around the trunk of the tree by dense vines, and only one head was exposed.

The mask has been taken, and the wounds on her face and broken bones have been stopped by Chihiro with wild herbs.

It's just to stop the bleeding.

"You should only be in your teens, not much older than me."

After much hesitation, Chihiro decided to talk to him first, wanting to know more about this kind of person.

If you really don't have feelings, and the oil and salt don't enter, then it's not too late to kill.

The root boy didn't speak, he looked up at his surroundings, then at Chihiro, and when he realized his situation, his eyes became blank.

"Ask you."

Chihiro said as she bulleted the small stone in her hand into the boy's forehead.

only heard the sound of "doo", and saw the young man's eyebrows tremble fiercely.

It hurts to think about it.

"I don't ask who you are, why you follow me, I don't want to know who sent you, I just want to talk to you, can you promise me?"

Chihiro said as she picked up another stone and played with it in her hand.

The boy remained silent.

"Harm, forget it, I'll be honest," Chihiro said sincerely: "Actually, it's because I haven't killed anyone, so I can't kill you a little, but I don't want to let you go, or you kill yourself, save each other from embarrassing, or, you can tell me your name, and when you die, I'll bury you and erect a monument for you." ”

When the young man heard this, Mu Ran's expression changed a little.

But Chihiro didn't observe which words touched him.

Maybe it's a dead word.

Although I feel that the ninja of the root should not be afraid of death.

But Chihiro, who was afraid of death, suddenly wanted to talk about death.

"Speaking of which, I died once, and although it was in a dream, it was a very real dream.

It was also a sunny day like today, and I didn't provoke anyone, so I walked and walked, and suddenly I was hit on the head by something...... And guess what? ”

"Why don't you believe it?"

"I can't believe it, but the reality is so outrageous."

"Let me tell you, I didn't have any premonition before the accident, just like you today, did you have a premonition that you would die today before you went out in the morning?"

"Surely not."

"If you had, you might not have been so careless as to be attacked by me."

"It's a pity that there is no if, if I had known that I would die if I went out that day, I wouldn't have gone out......"

Chihiro recalled, looking up at the sky as if she didn't understand, her little face wrinkled: "But what is it, I don't know if I was stoned to death by something, say it hurts, but it doesn't hurt, just Duang's brain, but I was stunned, and then I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear, I couldn't feel it...... Then I woke up from the dream. ”

"But what the hell hit me?"

"It's been haunting me, really, I just want to know this."

"I don't know it, you say it's not annoying."

"It's a pity, but I'm dead, I've woken up from my dreams, I'll probably never have the same dream again, and I'll never get an answer."

"It's still good for you, if you die, you're really dead, you're dead, and when you're dead, you don't know anything, whether it's good or bad to live, you don't have to think about it after you die, even if you have regrets, it's left to the living... Balabala......"

In this way, Chihiro talked a lot and a lot.

From life to death, and from death to life.

One will say that it is good to be alive, and the other will say that it is really tiring to be alive.

One will say that death is liberation, and another will say that death is regret.

However, by saying all this, it is not intended to argue anything, or to convince anyone.

He just wanted to reveal his complicated feelings in the face of an impending death.

After all, the first killing.

It does take a little mental construction.
