Chapter 72 Choice
A bright smile appeared on Xie's face, and he waved to the two people outside the courtyard.

"Brother, come in and drink water. We have water at home. I'll get it for you."

Without waiting for the two to answer, Xie turned around and ran into the small spherical house.

Not long after, Xie took out two small earthen bowls and walked out of the house.

Those were two earthen bowls filled with light yellow liquid. He was careful not to let the liquid in the bowls splash out.

It seems that even this muddy water is very precious to the father and son.

Yao Yuan's tense body relaxed, he nodded at Chisha, and walked in first.

Guideng Shuiyue was a little helpless, muttered something in a low voice, and followed Yao Yuan into the yard obediently.

Yao Yuan took the earthen bowl from Xie's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and handed the bowl back with a smile.

Xie raised his head and looked at the ghostly moon with an innocent expression.

"Brother, aren't you thirsty?"

Guideng Shuiyue reluctantly took the bowl, feeling Yao Yuan's stern gaze, had to gulp it down.

Chi Sha's nervous expression also relaxed, and he sat back on the stone bench.

Reaching out to pick up the wood on the ground, he picked up the carving knife and danced it quickly on the wood, intentionally or unconsciously asked: "Aren't the two little brothers from the Land of Wind?"

Yao Yuan untied the white cloth covering his face, nodded with a smile, "We are from the Land of Fire, and we are going to the Land of Birds."

"is it?"

Chi Sha lowered his head and continued to concentrate on carving wood, a lifelike arm soon appeared in front of everyone.

Akasha looked at the wooden arm in his hand with a satisfied smile on his face.

He handed over the wooden arm in his hand to the scorpion standing aside, staring at him eagerly.

He said with a smile: "The last part of the puppet is finished, you go to the house to assemble it yourself, slow down."

"Yes, Dad."

The scorpion, who had been impatient for a long time, just jumped from the ground, took the arm and rushed into the house excitedly.

Chi Sha watched Xie's figure disappear into the hut, turned his head to look at Yao Yuan and Guideng Shuiyue, the smile on his face melted like ice.

"The two little brothers are Konoha's ninjas."

Guideng Shuiyue's face changed drastically, but Yao Yuan held him down when he wanted to get up.

"Shuiyue, listen to what uncle has to say."

Seeing that Yao Yuan did not deny it, Chi Sha had a wry smile on his face.

"Since you all found this place, the people from the Third Kazekage must be arriving soon."

Yao Yuan was a little puzzled, "Three generations of Kazekage?"

Chisha sighed, his voice full of helplessness.

"After the first Ninja War, peace has lasted for more than ten years. Due to the alliance between the Nation of Wind and the Nation of Fire, coupled with the long-term peace. In recent years, the Nation of Wind has begun to significantly reduce its investment in Hidden Sand Village. Three generations of Kazekage were forced to have no choice but to drastically reduce the number of ninjas to ensure the survival of Hidden Sand Village. But in this way, a vicious circle was formed. The number of ninjas in Hidden Sand Village decreased and their strength became weaker. The task entrustment has also been reduced accordingly. Up to now, the daily operation of Hidden Sand Village has begun to have problems. At this time, war has become the only way to solve this problem. Hidden Sand Village is like this, so why not Konoha.”

"war?"

"For ordinary people, it is natural to hope that there will always be a peaceful and prosperous world. But for ninjas, only the battlefield can prove their value. Only when war breaks out, the daimyo will invest more resources, and the ninja village can continue to survive."

Yao Yuan frowned, nodded and said:
"Uncle Chisha, what you said makes sense."

"As a member of the Third Kazekage Advisory Group, I was forced to leave Sand Hidden Village because I opposed the war proposal. But the Third Kazekage has a violent personality and no one is allowed to question his decision. He has been sending Anbu to hunt down our family. Scorpion's The mother died in a chase."

Speaking of this, Chisha's eyes were shining brightly, with tears flickering faintly.

Chisha stood up, his body standing proudly like a pine.

"The best destination for a ninja is to die on the battlefield. Since this method of death has become a luxury, it is better to die at the hands of your Konoha ninjas than to kill each other with your former friends."

Looking at Yao Yuan and Yao Yuan, Chi Sha hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have a request, I wonder if the two little brothers can agree?"

Yao Yuan's eyes showed respect, he nodded and said, "Uncle Chisha, please tell us, we will definitely do our best."

"Our family escaped from Sand Yin and lived here in seclusion. We don't want Xie to be affected by the flames of war at a young age. To the west of this place, there is a small village called Chiba, where Xie's grandmother Chiyo lives in seclusion. If today I died at the hands of the two little brothers, please send the scorpion there and give it to his grandma."

Chi Sha looked at Yao Yuan with a nervous expression on his face. Seeing Yao Yuan's delay in answering, the nervousness gradually turned into despair.

With a soft "hiss", a wave of chakra spread from Chisha's feet, raising a small cloud of dust.A white scroll fell into his hand.

Guideng Shuiyue's hand landed on the handle of the knife, and he took a few steps back, his eyes firmly locked on the scroll in Chisha's hand.

Yao Yuan stood sideways between the two of them, waving his hands at Chisha again and again, "Uncle Chisha, please be calm. I have no intention of doing anything."

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue was in a hurry, "Brother Yao Yuan, what about your mission?"

Yao Yuan turned to Chisha instead of questioning about financial management, and said sincerely:

"Uncle Chisha, you are right. Since we can all find this place, the Anbu of Shayin Village should be here soon. I think you should take Xie away as soon as possible. It's not safe here."

Akasha was a little surprised, "Then you?"

Yao Yuan smiled, "We lost our way in the desert, and we are thankful to be able to get out of the desert. Besides, the intelligence department's information was wrong, and the Shakage Murakami Shinobi named Akasa was not found, right, Suigetsu?"

Guideng Shuiyue looked at Yao Yuan's stern eyes, and lowered her hands helplessly.

"You're the big brother, and you're always right."

Chisha let out a long breath, and his tense face relaxed.He looked at Yao Yuan gratefully.

"Thank you. I will set off with Xie tomorrow morning to find his grandma."

Xie walked out of the house holding a human-shaped puppet in his hand, his round face flushed with excitement.

"Dad, the crow is ready."

Yao Yuan waved his hand, gave Chi Sha and Xie a bright smile, turned and left.

. . . . . . . .

There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun burned half of the sky red.

The breeze carried fine grains of sand flying cheerfully in the air, and the two teenagers trekked in the red desert, leaving a deep footprint with each foot.The setting sun casts two long shadows behind the two, extending infinitely in the desert.

Chisha and Xie stood outside the courtyard, waving at the two who were leaving until they disappeared in the direction of the country of birds.
