Konoha: Obito Flying Thunder God

Chapter 142 The Way of Survival

Walking into this village that could be seen as far as the eye could see, Obito found that this village was very barren, with the houses made of stones and dirt.

The villagers, about 40 people, gathered in a small square in the center of the village, seemingly waiting for something silently.

Looking at the size of this village, so many people may already be the entire village.

"What...is going on?" Obito couldn't help but ask.

"Lu Xiu's wife is about to give birth." The old man said calmly, "Everyone is waiting for the birth of this child."

"What does this mean?" Tsunade also asked in confusion, "Does the person named Lu Xiu have a high status?"

"Not tall, just an ordinary villager in the village."

"Then why..."

"Knowing so much is of no use to outsiders like you. I'll find you a room. You can go to bed quickly."

The old man obviously didn't want to tell them the reason, so he took them to a dilapidated house.

Fortunately, the house was relatively clean. It could be seen that someone was cleaning it from time to time, so it was fine for just one night.

After telling the three of them not to run around, the old man left.

"Is it possible that there is unrest hidden in this village? Jiraiya." Tsunade couldn't help but ask when she saw the old man walking away.

"This is just an ordinary civilian village, with a population of no more than 50 people." Jiraiya said as if he had seen through everything,

“According to my observation, the cultivated land in this village is no more than 1000 meters away from the village, which shows that the range of activities of the villagers is extremely limited.

However, this is understandable. The Country of Grass has been in war for years, and civilians dare not move boldly for fear of being harmed. It is also a helpless move to shrink the living environment. "

"Then...why did they get together because an ordinary civilian gave birth to a child?" Obito was also confused.

"Although I have some guesses, but... I'm not sure." Jiraiya said, touching his chin.

He looked at Tsunade and Obito who were full of curiosity, shook his head and said: "This kind of thing is not interesting. If you understand it, it will only increase your troubles. It's better to go to bed quickly."

After saying that, he lay down directly, put his coat on his head, turned his back to them and closed his eyes.

Tsunade and Obito looked at each other, both of them feeling itchy in their hearts caused by Jiraiya's words.

As the loud cry of the baby echoed in the village, the curiosity in the two people's hearts reached its peak.

If you continue to waste it, you will really miss it.

The two of them winked at each other, slipped out of the house quietly, and sneaked towards the village square.

As ninjas, even if they don't specifically use ninjutsu to hide their figures, their whereabouts are basically invisible to ordinary people at night.

The two of them soon came to the edge of the square and watched everything secretly.

Fortunately, they arrived in time and the baby had just been taken out.

They were twin babies, held by a man who looked like their father.

The old man who opened the door for them stood in the middle. Judging from his position and the attitude of other villagers towards him, Obito initially concluded that this old man was the village chief.

He held the oil lamp and looked at the two twin babies, speechless for a long time.

The villagers on the side were whispering, and the atmosphere in the entire village became even more depressed.

"The Lu Xiu family gave birth to a pair of twins." The old man said, "With these newborns, the number of people in our village exceeds fifty, reaching 52.

Therefore, another draw is imperative. "

"Drawing lots?" Obito was confused, "What kind of lot should be drawn? Why should we draw lots?"

The village chief took out a small jar with sticks placed inside.

The villagers looked at the lot with a somewhat flinching look, as if there was something inside that could determine their fate.

"Except for the pair of babies, come one by one." The old man said.

Under the watchful eye of the old man, the villagers, men, women, old and young, all took away the sticks one after another.

Writing Wheel Eyes Open!

Obito, whose eyesight has greatly improved, can easily see the words at the bottom of the signs in these people's hands.

All "stay".

"What on earth does this mean?"

In the end, there were only two lots left in the jar.

Presumably, these two lots belong to the old man and the woman who just gave birth to a child.

Finally, Lu Xiu, who was holding the child, took a lottery for his wife, and the old man took the last one.

"Everyone, please look at the signatures on your hands." The old man spread his hands, looked at the words on his signatures, and said nothing.

Everyone spread their hands to read the words and breathed a sigh of relief.

But Lu Xiu noticed something was wrong. He spread his hands and looked at it. On the two sticks, one of them had the word "Go" written on it.

His face suddenly turned pale.

"Who is going?" the old man asked.

"It's me..." Lu Xiu said with great difficulty.

"Whose does the other one belong to?" a villager couldn't help but ask.

"It's me." The old man said calmly, "The resources of this village are only enough for fifty people to survive. Those who get the lottery must leave the village and find another way to make a living.

Depart tomorrow. "

Obito was shocked, what happened to this village?Are you planning to let such an old man and a new father leave his hometown?

"Hey!" Obito immediately walked out of the darkness and asked the villagers loudly, "Why do you want to drive away your companions?"

Seeing Obito's arrival, the villagers began to whisper, and the vaguely leaked words seemed to be discussing Obito's identity.

"This kind of thing has nothing to do with you, outsiders." The old man said calmly.

"Tell me why you did this!" Obito frowned, "Maybe I can help.

When two children are born in the village, two villagers must be driven away. This is unreasonable no matter how you look at it. "

"You can't help." The old man shook his head, but slowly explained the reason, "Because of the war and the struggle between the ninjas, ordinary people like us can only survive in the cracks, and the living space is constantly changing. shrink.

Because once you leave the scope of activity, there is a risk of being killed by ninjas... or even the village being massacred.

The current resources of this village can only support 50 people.No more than one will do.

do you understand? "

"I..." Obito opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Can he change the current situation of this village?

Yes, but it is only a temporary change and cannot fundamentally change it.

"Okay, Obito!" Tsunade also came out of the darkness and pulled Obito away, "Let's go back, we have to travel tomorrow."

Obito was pulled away in a daze, and behind him, Lu Xiu kept begging other villagers to take care of his children.

Back at the house, Tsunade put her head in her hands. She wondered if she was sleeping, but Obito had insomnia.

He knew that the ninja world was hard, but he didn't know that the small countries in the ninja world were so hard.

In order to survive, his wife and children were forced to separate.

The next day, the three of them were ready to set off again, and with them were the village chief and Lu Xiu.

The two of them carried their flat luggage and embarked on a life-or-death journey.

"Many small villages are like this." Jiraiya said, "I have seen many such self-styled villages. The inaction of the Grass Country regime has made this situation worse." Jiraiya explained.

"This ninja world... needs to change!" Obito thought in his heart.

Everything is as he said in the comics, the world is full of despair.

Therefore, there must be someone to calm this war.
