Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

The faint morning mist filled the dense forest. Chiba and others led by Morino Shinsuke shuttled through the forest. This time, Morino Shinsuke changed his way and went straight to a small village on the border of the country of grass. That's where the bandits were last seen in this mission.

The Land of Grass borders the Land of Fire and also borders the Land of Earth. It belongs to a small country that lives in the cracks between big countries.

This point, from the moment Chiba set foot on the territory of the country of grass, he felt it deeply.

But at this moment, in front of him was a dilapidated village with about seven or eight families.

Next to these houses, there are several ruined walls. It seems that they used to be the residences of the villagers, just like the houses covered with kunai, shuriken, fire, and electric shock marks on the walls.

The green grass was long and growing in the village. If it wasn't for the villagers walking and lighting fires in the village, Chiba would have almost thought that this was an abandoned village.

And those villagers who were walking looked blank, wearing only linen clothes on their bodies, and even the children squatted lifelessly at the door of their own houses, with their heads buried in their arms, looking at the stopped Chiba. The eyes of the four of them were cloudy, and the expressions on their faces showed hunger.

At this moment, whether it was Chiba, Morino Shinsuke, Kiuchi Taketo or even Fujiki Shigeru, all of them sank in unison.

For Qianye, this scene made him a little unbelievable, it was the first time he had seen such a miserable scene.

He was born in a peaceful age in his previous life, and his family's life wasn't too bad. He was considered to have no worries about food and clothing, but he didn't have too much money to squander.

And in this life, even though he is an orphan, under the shade of Muye Village, there is more than enough food and clothing.

When he stepped into the country of grass, Chiba was already mentally prepared to see the traces of war, but he did not expect to see such a scene.

The adults looked blankly, like walking corpses.

Even the child looked like he was dying, lifeless.

Chiba felt a feeling almost immediately.

This village is dead.

Although it still exists, it is dead.

This is, war?

Teacher Zhenshu... Taketo Kiuchi glanced at Morino Zhenshu and murmured.

You guys wait here. Masaru Mori's face remained calm, but his eyes glistened with pity, shame and guilt.

Chiba and the others watched him walk into the village and talked with the adults in the village.

After a while, Masaru Mori came back with a sullen face, and said: Let's go, when the bandits had already left, they were heading towards the Land of Fire. That direction should be Shandeng Town in the Land of Fire. They originally There should be another looting.

That is, before they met us, were they planning to rob that mountain lamp town? So, after meeting us now, or after learning the information that we are coming to destroy them, after ambush that scene, what will they do, and where will they be now?

Chiba thought about it.

Let's leave here first. All the food and money here have been robbed, and even the labor force of the prime of life has been plundered. For them, this place has no value, and they will not stay here. Truth said.

Captain Morino, we...

Chiba frowned, wanting to say something. But was interrupted by Morino: Chiba, this is not our country, there is nothing we can do.

Chiba opened her mouth, and then looked at the lifeless villagers.

Can you help me for a while, but can't you help me forever?

but……

But at this moment, Kiuchi Taketo suddenly ran out and ran towards a house in the village.

Are you OK.

Chiba turned her head to look, but saw Taketo Kiuchi holding a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old to prevent her from fainting and falling, and this sound was said by Taketo Kiuchi.

The little girl's face was stained with dust, and she looked very embarrassed. At this time, she was holding a baby about one or two years old in her hands, and looked weakly at Taketo Kiuchi.

It turned out that the little girl walked out of her room, but the moment she walked out, she seemed to faint and fall, and she fell forward, and she would definitely crush the baby in front of her.

Be careful next time. On rare occasion, Kiuchi Taketo showed a slightly gentle expression on his stern face, then he straightened the little girl upright and ran back.

And the little girl looked at Kiuchi Taketo in surprise.

I'm sorry, we can leave now. Kiuchi Kento apologized first when he came back.

Let's go. Morino looked at Kiuchi Taketo, nodded, and then left first. Chiba hesitated, but finally followed.

On the way, Chiba looked at Kiuchi Taketo.

The moment this guy supported the little girl, he stuffed all his wallet and dry food into the baby's swaddle. Although the ninja's dry food is some highly concentrated food, which is very unpalatable, it is a life-saver for the little girl and the baby.

And it was intentional not to be noticed, and it was very thoughtful. After all, the village had no food and money, and if it was given to the little girl openly, the little girl's situation might be even worse.

But this time, Chiba has really changed his mind about Taketo Kiuchi. Although this person is impulsive and always talks about genius, his heart is not bad.

What's wrong? Kiuchi Taketo asked after noticing Chiba's gaze.

It's nothing. Qianye turned her head with a slight smile.

Kiuchi Taketo turned his head a little unnaturally.

Did he find out?

...

Speeding along the road, everyone rushed into the territory of the Fire Kingdom, because this mission was entrusted by Caoyin Village and the Fire Kingdom at the same time. After passing some codes, they can freely enter and leave the borders of the two countries without any problems.

After arriving in Shandeng Town, Morino Shinshu left Chiba and others in a meatball shop to inquire about the news alone.

After arriving in Shandeng Town, Chiba and the others had a feeling of reaching heaven from hell all of a sudden. Although Shandeng Town experienced robbery, it recovered very well and is still prosperous. Compared with the villages in the Country of Grass , simply the difference between heaven and hell.

Thinking of the village in the Country of Grass, Chiba's appetite inexplicably dropped. He didn't know what to eat with the meatballs, and Kiuchi Kento seemed to have no appetite, looking at the red bean soup and the meatballs in silence.

As for Fujiki Shigeru, he was a lot more honest, he didn't say a word, just glanced out from time to time.

About two hours later, Mori returned. After returning, he immediately issued an order to set off, saying that he had found the bandit's base.

Chiba and the others looked at each other and left immediately.

Under the leadership of Masaru Morino, the three of them rushed to a certain place in the direction of the Land of Rain.

And after they left, a big-armed businessman walked out of the meatball shop, looking at the four of Chiba who disappeared from sight, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's almost time to arrive!

You can tell Bi-sama to act!
