Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 195 The Way of the Ninja

After a wave of smooth operations killed the defected ninja Nakatani, agent zero calmly drew the seal dagger.

With the sound of the release of the transformation technique, the strange costume of Agent Zero disappeared, and the person who appeared in the field was Xiuyi holding Kunai.

Transforming into the Navy Seals was of course a whim on his whim. This time, the process of using the flash bomb to kill the rebellious ninja made Xiuyi feel quite satisfied. It seems that in the future, he should always pay attention to some achievements of the latest technology of the Fire Nation. Come up with something more interesting.

After working as a messenger for a few days, the third generation assigned him the task of clearing out the rebellious ninja. Due to the battle between Konoha and Sand Yin, a large number of elite ninjas rushed to the front line to fight a while ago. Naturally it will fall.

This Nakatani is Sand Yin's defected Jonin. According to Konoha's information, the opponent was promoted for a very short time, which may be an act of replenishing combat power after the loss of Sand Yin's personnel.

Before he had time to enjoy the benefits of jounin, he was directly sent to the front line to fight against Konoha. He was dissatisfied when he found that the high-level decision-making was so pitiful. After selling a few teammates, he became a fugitive ninja and ran into the land of fire. I plan to find a place to live on my own in the future.

Unexpectedly, the war between Sayin and Konoha would come to an end so soon, and he, the missing new Jōnin, was immediately caught and included in the hunting list.

After finishing him off, Xiuyi followed the procedure to dispose of the corpse, cut off the head and put it in the scroll, then buried the body in the soil to erase the traces, and then disappeared in place in a flash.

……

After completing this task, Xiuyi did not return directly to Konoha Village. He deliberately chose a location that Anbu had not found to deal with this person. Apart from testing the effect of the flash bomb, he just wanted to take the opportunity to do other things.

At night, Green Leaf City, Land of Fire, the main logistics base in the west, was a little quiet at this time.

After the end of the large-scale war, due to the high financial pressure, the advancement mode relying on the supply line has been transformed into a small-scale ninja operation, and the Konoha team now uses this as a base to operate.

In a remote hut in the city, Xiuyi vigilantly inspected the surroundings to confirm that there was nothing wrong, then opened the barrier to enter, and skillfully transferred to the ground through the secret door.

"Teacher, I have brought the equipment you want."

Opening the storage scroll, Xiuyi began to help Orochimaru place various experimental props.

This is a new laboratory. In order to maintain control of the situation in the country of Kawano, Orochimaru, as the commander, cannot withdraw to the village. Aoba Castle is now equivalent to a small branch of Konoha.

So Orochimaru can only open a new location if they want to conduct experimental research. The two of them do these things secretly. The ninjas serving in Ninja Village really have a lot of constraints.

"Thank you, what you want has been completed." Orochimaru took Xiuyi to the deepest part of the laboratory, "If this corpse maintains its energy supply, it can produce a lot of chakra every day, which should be able to meet your cultivation requirements .”

Xiuyi followed and looked at the large container. Inside, Huoya's body was already covered with black lines, very similar to the future curse seal.

"In this way, I can start to practice!" He was secretly happy, and approached to sense the strength of life, "Teacher, has your research on curse seals made progress?"

"There are indeed new discoveries in physical activity, but there are still many problems to be solved in order to complete."

Speaking of this, although Orochimaru looked normal, he was a little irritable in his heart. He seemed to be getting a little tired of the repeated ninja life for many years, because his research progress was always interrupted by various tasks and orders.

I don't know if it was on a whim, but he said to Xiuyi: "I remember the day we met a few years ago, you said what you thought about the village. Now that you have been a ninja for so long and have performed extremely dangerous missions, do you have any new ideas? Feelings? About a ninja's life."

Xiuyi came back to his senses after hearing his words. When he was apprenticed to Orochimaru, he acted as an heir to the will of fire who loved the village and his companions, and he still had a longing for ninjas.

Of course, a large part of it was pretending. At that time, I just wanted to become a powerful ninja smoothly.

In the past few years, his young hands have been stained with blood. In the name of protecting the village and the country, he has accepted a large number of tasks and killed many enemies. He can find that he is no different from those ninjas on the opposing side. Everyone is for their own interests. fight.

The meaning of Dashemaru's words is easy to understand, it is the discussion about the fate of ninjas throughout the original book.

Become a ninja, accept missions, fight enemies for profit, form hatred, and then continue to compete because of new interest entanglements and hatred, and so on until death.

It seems that this cruel cycle of fate will never escape, and peace will almost never come.

Jiraiya also chose to travel the ninja world to find the Child of Destiny. He did not know what to do, so he followed the instructions of the immortal. Orochimaru began to pursue the path of eternal life.

"I probably understand what you are thinking. I have indeed killed many people before." Xiu said calmly, "No one likes to take pleasure in killing people. I sneaked into the sand and killed their medical class because it would make Konoha less Small casualties will bring the war to an end sooner, otherwise more people may die in the continuous fighting for several months."

"Facts have proved that my actions are indeed effective. Although this will cause deeper conflicts, Shayin may make a comeback, and more people will die in the future."

"But I am still young, and there are infinite possibilities in the future. Throughout our human history, we cannot escape the impact of war,"

"Although the current world is still cruel, it is better than the Warring States Period! The first Hokage changed the direction of the world, and the ninja world has been improving. Maybe I will act when I have the ability to change this situation. But if No, it can only adapt to the current environment."

After hearing this, Orochimaru was silent for a while, "It seems that you already have your own ideas, and I have nothing to teach you."

"Teacher, do you want to leave the village?" Xiuyi asked in a tentative tone, "Are you tired of living as a ninja?"

Orochimaru paused holding the test tube's hand, never expecting his question to be so direct, "Why do you think so?"

"It feels like you didn't have much motivation when you were in the village, as if...you were being dragged away by something." Xiuyi thought for a while, and gave a more metaphysical description, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

After the exchange, he carefully put away the container of Huoya's corpse, intending to go back and start research on Bakutun, bid farewell to Orochimaru and left the laboratory.

After Xiuyi left, Orochimaru stopped the experiment in his hands in the dark, and began to recall his experience in Konoha for so many years, "I was dragged by something..."

Various images floated continuously in my mind, including the kind Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya and Tsunade who fought side by side, the disciple Nawaki who was killed by the bombing, and Shuichi who had been acting with him in the past few years. Village? Interesting..."
