Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 21 two way

(I was called to have dinner by my colleagues in the morning, and took a nap in the afternoon. This is the last update for today, and there will be more later.)

"Mr. Dazna, if you are the only one who repairs the bridge, I don't know when the bridge will be finished!" With a lit cigarette in her mouth, Asma took a deep breath and asked The busy old man in the distance.

With Asma's strength, it is enough to protect Dazna. As for Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji, under Shikamaru's suggestion, they stayed at Dazna's house to protect Inari and others.

It was almost noon at this time, the sun pierced through the mist and shone down. Looking from the bridge to the distance, the sea was glowing with white light, like a huge mirror, but this scene, now only Asma and Da The two of Zina saw that for two consecutive days, except for the first day, there were two or three people who helped Dazina work, but after being warned by Cardo's men, they disappeared the next day.

"The bridge of the land of waves..." Dazna stopped working when he heard Asma's words, wiped his sweat with a towel on his shoulders, and smiled, not feeling discouraged or disappointed at all, trying to look at In the direction of the house in the distance, he replied loudly: "It will be finished soon!"

Asma heard this and shrugged her shoulders. Even with a complete construction team, the unfinished bridge the two of them were on could not be completed in a month or two. The "bridge" that Dazner mentioned was obviously not this one.

As an experienced jonin, how could he not be aware of some actions of his subordinates, but Asma didn't want to stop it!

…………

Kado's residence is in a secluded woods. This property is still occupied by him. The originally quiet environment has disappeared since Kado and a large group of desperadoes and hooligans led by him moved in.

"boom!"

Kado walked around the room a little irritably, and a young maid not far away tremblingly packed up the vase that Kado had smashed before.

Two wandering warriors with knives stuck in their waists stood lazily beside Kado, their eyes were not on the beautiful figure of the young maid. The samurai training is at most a low-level samurai, or even lower. In terms of quality, it is not much better than a hooligan.

"Damn ninja!" Kado cursed in a low voice as he stepped forward: "What kind of ghost doesn't want to beheaded again, what kind of bullshit ninja, with such a great reputation, he was killed in the end! I wasted so much time for nothing!" Kado It was also by chance that Kaduo hired Taodi and would not kill him again. Unexpectedly, the other party was very aggressive after he arrived, and even had a faint covet for this country. However, when the news came that Dazner would continue to build the bridge immediately after he returned home, he felt very angry.

Cardo's current rule in the Kingdom of Bo is illegal, so he can only use tyranny to oppress and frighten the people of the Kingdom of Wave, making them dare not resist. Although Dazna's actions are useless, they represent With resistance and contempt for Kado, this may be the seed of future resistance to its rule. In any case, it must be cleared like Kaisha back then!

"Get out!" Kado yelled at the maid after thinking for a moment. This maid was found from the land of Waves and cannot be trusted.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow I have to lead a group of men to go to the construction site to find Dazna by boat, otherwise I'm afraid there will be problems. There are so many of us, these ninjas should be nothing to worry about. If it doesn't work, just use money to buy them..." Waited until The maid left the room as if fleeing, Dazna said to himself, after noticing the two wandering warriors standing, his eyes flashed, and after a little thought, he turned to the two and ordered: "Be safe, The two of you will go to Dazna's house alone and take his daughter and grandson as hostages!"

…………

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Uncle Sanji!" Inari knocked on the door vigorously, and shouted loudly in his immature voice, but unfortunately there was no response: "I know you are inside!"

The sound insulation effect of the simple wooden house was mediocre. Before that, Inari could hear people talking and walking inside, but after he knocked on the door, they suddenly fell silent.

"...Uncle Sanji!" He knocked on the door a few more times, but seeing that there was still no response in the room, Inari slowly put down his hand and ran to the window. His short body couldn't reach inside, but he was sure that Someone shouted loudly because of this: "Are you just watching Soichiro get sick like this! My father dared to resist Kado for me and for everyone not to live this kind of life in the future. Don't you have the heart to let Soichiro die in the future?" Are you going to live like this!?"

In the room, a faint smell of medicine permeated the air. On the bed in the inner room lay a sleeping thin boy, covered with a thick quilt, with an unhealthy blush on his face. He was obviously sick. And this boy His parents, who were sitting by the bed at this time, looked after him with depressed expressions.

Supplies, including food, became more and more difficult under Kaduo's control. Even many fishing boats were robbed because Kaduo tried to block the sea route. This made it difficult for fishermen to even fish for food, let alone living in As an island country, ships are used in many ways.

The boy in this family, Soichiro, went into the water to try to catch fish to eat because of hunger, and drowned. Although he was rescued, he did not lose his life, but he also started to get sick, had no income, and even now he didn’t have much medicine. Soichiro The disease can only be boiled.

Inari's questioning voice easily reached the ears of a middle-aged man in the room. Years of living at sea made him look older than his actual age. The deep wrinkles on his face seemed to be the traces of time. His body and slightly loose clothes showed that this person must have been physically stronger before, but the long-term hunger and sorrow made this strong man already thin. Hearing the shout at this time, he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly. .

The woman on the side also looked pale, looking at her husband worriedly, and stretched out her hand involuntarily, grabbing his fist.

The middle-aged man clenched his teeth and clenched his fists in shock. He came back to his senses and looked at his wife, who lives in the sea breeze day and night. The age of his wife is not young, and with the long-term hunger, it is naturally considered old and decrepit at this time, but the man saw the concern and worry in his wife's eyes, his heart trembled, but he made up his mind, his eyes became firm, and suddenly stand up.

"Sanji!?" The woman looked at her husband in surprise and whispered, "What are you going to do?"

"Kiko!" Sanji gasped heavily, looked at his son and his wife lying on the bed, and said angrily, "This can't go on like this, Soichiro needs to take medicine, and we also need to take medicine."

Saying that, Sanji, who made up his mind, ignored his wife's whispered advice, walked to a large wooden box in the outhouse, dug out all the sundries accumulated inside, opened the hidden compartment at the bottom, and took out a box made of kraft paper. When the package was opened, it turned out to be a hand crossbow and more than ten crossbow arrows inside.

If it is a strong crossbow, even if it is against ordinary ninjas, if it is caught off guard, it can still cause damage. If it has a certain amount, it may also kill ninjas—of course, it will not be easy if ninjas are prepared. After all, ninjas What makes him stronger than a samurai lies in his mastery of ninjutsu and illusion—this hand crossbow is enough to deal with ordinary people, but the sea air is humid, and this crossbow may not be used a few times.

"Kaisha and I secretly made this thing together." Sanji inspected the hand crossbow and crossbow arrows affectionately, whispering, and found that they were well preserved. After they could be used, his expression changed, and his expression became fierce. : "I'm sorry Kaisha, he and Inari are right, if you don't want to die and don't want Soichiro to live such a life in the future, you can't stand Kado's rule."

"I'm not a good husband, Noriko." Sanji looked back guiltily at his thin wife, then at his son lying on the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "But I want to be a good father."

…………

In the evening, when Dazna finished his work and returned home, he was shocked to find that there were many men gathered in the house!Looking carefully, I found that they were all fishermen nearby.

"Uncle Dazna!" Seeing Dazna come back, a fisherman who saw him said loudly after seeing him, and the other fishermen also stood up and greeted Dazna, whether they were elders or Dazna The fact that the whole family insists on resisting Kado is enough to make the people of the Kingdom of Waves feel respect from the bottom of their hearts.

"You guys are..." Dazna thought of something, but he couldn't confirm it, so he asked with doubts on his face.

"Grandpa!" A short figure threw himself into Dazner's arms at this moment, raised a big smile, and blushed, obviously very excited that he was able to participate in the action: "Everyone gathers Together, we are ready to discuss against Kado!"

"That's it." Dazna muttered to himself, looking at the fishermen who were sitting or standing gathered at home, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, not because he was moved, but because of Kesha's worthlessness.

Kaisha had foreseen the current situation when Kaduo arrived, and persuaded everyone to unite to resist Kaduo, but the result was unsuccessful. Now after these people have suffered, they are easily persuaded. This kind of comparison makes Daz Na has mixed feelings.

"Ms. Asma!" Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji, who had been on the periphery of the crowd, hurried forward to greet Asma Sarutobi who had returned with Dazna.

"I can't imagine that the people in the country of Bo have lived so hard since Kado came here!" After greeting Asma, Ino said sympathetically. , involuntarily began to tell about Kado's various evil deeds with righteous indignation, these three people, Ino, Choji and Shikamaru, naturally heard it, although the three of them had lived in the country of Nami for a few days, and they already had an understanding of the poverty of this country , but it is still better to listen to the truth of the complaints of the parties.
