Chapter 32 The Tragedy of Border Villages
Kushina was hurrying along with her cheeks flushed, and the blush was caused by the collision.
Especially the two tiny holes on her nose, which were extremely obvious.
It was really embarrassing.
Kushina followed Jiraiya with her head down.
Minato Namikaze scratched his face and followed Kushina.
Jin followed at the end.
Walking through the open wilderness, crossing the single-plank bridge across the lake, and crossing the steep mountain.
Within three days, the few people finally arrived not far from the border. Before the border, they saw a village in the distance.
The moment they saw the village.
Jiraiya frowned and gestured.
The few people quickly hid.
The closer they were to the border, the more nervous the three people became.
Even Jiraiya's smile disappeared from his face.
The four hid behind a rock and looked at the village in the distance.
It was already sunset, but there was no smoke rising from the village.
Even.
Jiraiya's nose moved.
They were in the downwind position, and because of the five senses that were becoming more and more acute due to the basic internal skills, they could smell the smell coming from the distant village.
"Blood smell."
It seemed that something happened in that village, which was why Jiraiya asked the three to hide.
Jiraiya did not speak, but quickly gestured to the three.
At this time, they could not make trouble like they did in the village.
In order to prevent possible enemies from discovering, everything was done in silence.
The three understood the gestures and nodded to show their understanding.
Jiraiya then rushed out, leaning forward like a shot arrow and rushing towards the village entrance.
Kushina stayed where she was.
Jin and Minato Namikaze went around in another direction and moved forward quickly.
Jiraiya needed to rush into the village as soon as possible to investigate the situation.
Minato Namikaze and Jin needed to explore outward with the village as the center.
Kushina's mission was to support possible battles at any time.
Jiraiya rushed into the village without causing any ripples, and the whole village was completely deserted.
There was only the smell of blood and a hellish scene.
Walking on the bloody road, looking at the corpses and limbs lying on the ground, and seeing many dead bodies through the broken gate.
Minato Namikaze and Jin Ye, who had finished their reconnaissance, soon entered the village.
Both shook their heads at Jiraiya at the same time.
There was nothing around.
Kushina was the last to enter the village.
"What is this!?"
Looking at the broken hands and feet, and the bodies cut by sharp blades.
Kushina's pupils trembled, and she covered her mouth and rushed to the corner of the village and began to vomit.
Although there was a record of killing ninjas, the enemy ninja disappeared without a trace under a tailed beast ball, and Kushina didn't feel anything at all.
This was the first time she saw such a miserable corpse, and the stress reaction of her body couldn't help it.
Minato Namikaze's face was also a little pale, and the smile on his face disappeared. He was in a similar situation to Kushina, and he hadn't really killed the enemy, but he was not as unbearable as Kushina.
Jiraiya couldn't help but cast his eyes on Uchiha Jin.
Uchiha Jin's reaction made him mutter in his heart.
Jin's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he was still a little cynical, using kunai to provoke the wounds of the corpse on the ground.
"They are all kunai shuriken, and some swords, without any damage from ninjutsu."
As expected, Uchiha are all a group of perverts.
Jiraiya muttered in his heart.
Few Genin who saw such a miserable scene for the first time were as calm as Jin, and he could even detect traces.
These were actions that only veteran ninjas would have.
Jin didn't know that Jiraiya was criticizing him, he turned and walked into the villager's house.
He searched inside and walked out.
"A lot of property in the village was robbed."
Jin walked out and told Jiraiya the information in the house.
Jiraiya shook his head regretfully, unable to judge who did it.
This is not just a problem of Rock Ninja, there are also Long Ninja Village, Grass Ninja Village, and even Sand Ninja Village may come here to collect money.
Not to mention the wandering ninjas everywhere.
The villages on the border are not having a good time.
At this time, Kushina was a little better, but she was not as energetic as at the beginning.
Minato Namikaze sighed and was about to collect the bodies of these people.
"Wait a minute, Minato!" Jiraiya hurriedly stopped Minato Namikaze's action.
Minato Namikaze stopped his action and looked at Jiraiya in confusion.
Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze seriously: "Never turn over anyone's body on the battlefield."
No one knows if there is a detonating tag hidden under the body.
Even Jin only turned over the clothes slightly, and more to look at the wound, and did not turn over the body.
Minato Namikaze sighed and stood up.
"War is really cruel."
"It's not a war now."
Jin rejected Minato Namikaze's statement. It's still a damn peaceful time, but the situation has become tense.
But the number of deaths is not small, and the most suffering are these civilians.
Most ninjas don't treat civilians from other countries as human beings.
There was a slight sound.
The three of them looked at the wellhead of the village at the same time.
Kushina also followed the others' gaze and looked over there.
There was a slight sound coming from the wellhead with traces of time. If you didn't listen carefully, you might even think it was the sound of insects.
Jiraiya walked to the mouth of the well, took out a kunai and placed the sharp section on the mouth of the well. Through the reflected light, he saw the figure of a girl inside.
"It's a civilian."
Jiraiya then poked his head over.
The girl at the mouth of the well was buried in the well water. She stretched her head out in order to breathe. When she saw someone probing the mouth of the well, she immediately buried her head again. When she saw Jiraiya's forehead protector through the transparent water, It popped up again.
Reach up.
"help me!"
Jiraiya's hair quickly grew longer, wrapping around the girl and bringing her up.
When she reached the ground, the girl was soaked all over, curled up against the well and shivering.
Well water is not that easy to stay in, especially in this cold weather.
Several people gathered together a pile of firewood and lit it with fire escape ninjutsu. As the flames burned, the girl got better.
Wait until the girl calms down for a while.
Jiraiya finally asked.
"What's going on here?"
The girl looked up at Jiraiya, her eyes showing fear.
"Three Iwa ninjas suddenly attacked the village. They killed everyone on sight."
Thinking of the cruelty of those people, the girl trembled even more, her voice filled with tears.
"Why did you come to Konoha?"
Jiraiya could only respond solemnly.
"Feel sorry."
He could only apologize. Even if the Konoha ninja were really here, they might not be able to protect the village.
Killing the enemy is far more important than protecting the village.
They were just ninjas, not soldiers of the Daimyo, and they would not risk their lives for other villages.
"I want revenge!" The girl looked at the few people. Although her eyes were dim with tears, the burning flames reflected in her pupils, which contained deep-seated hatred.
"If you want revenge, prepare 200,000 taels to send out a mission to Konoha." Jin poured cold water on the side.
"I have no money." The girl lowered her head. She couldn't even raise 200,000 taels while the village was still there.
"Then forgive us for not being able to do anything."
The other three people showed sympathetic looks on their faces, but did not stop Jin's words.
It's cruel but it's true.
"You shouldn't."
"We have no responsibility to serve anyone in the Fire Nation selflessly. Ninjas act with the goal of reward."
Jin interrupted the girl's attempt to morally kidnap her.
"If, in my opinion, you are interfering with our mission."
"I'll kill you."
Jin didn't have any killing intent or murderous intent, just a plain description, but it made the girl feel that even the fire in front of her couldn't warm her.
"Please, as long as you help me get revenge, I will do anything."
The girl could only plead in a low voice.
Jin wanted to say something else, but Namikaze Minato and Kushina both stopped him, stopping him from continuing to speak.
Jinye didn't care, the three of them all looked at Jiraiya.
"Sorry." Jiraiya apologized again.
There is no way they would do anything for a girl.
The girl's face seemed distorted under the firelight.
The three of them didn't say anything and just left silently.
Now the focus is on tasks. None of the three are willful people. Naturally, they can't take time to send the girl off. Even Kushina, who has a small temper, didn't say much.
She knows the importance.
It is impossible to send the girl to a safe place, and it is even less possible to take the girl to the sentinel point. The sentinel points on the border are all hidden, and it is not that simple even for ninjas to find them.
If you take a girl with you, there is a risk of exposure.
During this period, there should be no exposure at all.
Jumping in the woods.
"You are too heartless, Uchiha Jin."
Kushina rarely handed over Jin's full name seriously, her expression was unprecedentedly serious. She indeed knew the importance and the choice.
But the girl's experience had to remind her of the past, and she was the only one left in her family.
"Kushina, don't be emotional. It's one of the ninja rules."
Although Minato Namikaze didn't agree with Jin's words, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Jin did.
"Shut up!" Kushina shouted sternly to stop Namikaze Minato.
The figures of the three people stopped.
Kushina looked at Jin waiting for the other's answer.
Jiraiya stood at the top watching his disciple's argument and did not choose to intervene.
Jin touched his chin and looked unconcerned, which made Kushina furious, but she did not explode this time, but waited for Jin's answer.
Jin considered it for a moment and said slowly.
"Ninja is a tool. It does not need emotions or thinking. It is the saddest product driven by the times."
"Kushina Uzumaki...are you really qualified to be a ninja?"
Jin asked Kushina back.
"Ninjas are not who you say they are!!"
"But it's true!"
"Absolutely not!! I will prove it to you!!"
Kushina definitely disagrees with Uchiha Jin's idea. How can ninjas be just tools of sorrow? This is not the path of ninjas in her opinion.
"But this is a ninja."
Jin looked at Kushina with a smile on his face.
Minato Namikaze looked at Jin silently. It was the first time he saw Jin smile so fakely and with malice.
"boom!!"
Kushina punched the tree, and the huge force broke the tree in half.
