Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

Seven of the eight envoys Ruoshui sent out to recruit people two days ago had already returned the good news, except for Chuan who went to Nadeshiko Village, it was like nothing happened.

I think so... Kumogakure's [-] tough ninjas were bleeding in front of Takigakure's gate. With such a horrific record, plus generous surrender conditions in the recruitment and installation documents, under the combination of kindness and power, how could a small country's ninja village not refuse to surrender?

Not just Ruoshui, most people think so.

In the early morning, Kusagakure Village was the first to arrive in Kusano Country, which is adjacent to Taki Country!

Ruoshui, who received the news, led the crowd to greet him.

As the guide, Uchiha couldn't feel relieved. He was really worried along the way, for fear that the people behind him would suddenly regret it and tear him into pieces!

Nan stepped forward and saluted loudly: "Shisui-sama, Uchiha Nan, bring the 280 Kusugakure people here!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ruoshui nodded happily and looked at the hermits behind Nan.

The person who led Kusakuin was a cold-looking woman, about 20 years old, tall and tall, with long bamboo-green and rose-colored hair tied into several small braids, and her eyes were light purple.

Because she stood out in front of others and had a special temperament, Ruoshui naturally noticed her.

"Denglong Hualian."

The person who said this name was Uo Yue Xiyan who was standing behind Ruoshui and had been ordered to follow him closely in the past few days.

Ruoshui asked: "Do you know her?"

Xigao still maintained the etiquette of a lower-ranking person: "Reporting to Shisui-sama, I can't say that I understand you very well. Kusagakure and Konoha have good relations, and there is an international prison called 'Ghost Light City'. I used to be an ANBU of Konoha, We often have to escort felons to Ghost Light City, so we have contacts. The last time I saw Denglong Hualien was two years ago, when she was the captain of Kusagakure's secret service..."

Ruoshui: "In two years, she rose from ANBU to village chief. It seems she is very capable."

Xi Yan: "However, there is one thing that feels strange to me."

Ruoshui: "Oh? What."

Yugao: "The internal affairs of Kusanagi are corrupt, and the rulers rely too much on the protection of the big powers, especially the protection of Konoha. The Uchiha are openly defecting to Konoha. Even if we send envoys to come to the door to recruit people, it stands to reason that there will be many obstacles." Yeah, it’s hard to believe such a quick response…”

Ruoshui nodded thoughtfully and asked in a deep voice: "Caoyinzhong, you guys, are you willing to join me?"

The Cao Yin people were indifferent and climbed up to the dragon flower lotus and strode forward: "Cao Yin, refuse to surrender!"

Uchiha Nan: "Hey!! This is different from what I said at the beginning!!!"

Denglong Hualien ignored him.

Ruoshui's eyes were downcast: "Refuse to submit, can be understood as, do you want to start a war?"

Denglong Hualien: "Of course not. We have no chance of winning in a war. I know this very well!"

Ruoshui narrowed his eyes, waiting for her next words.

Denglong Hualien's reply surprised everyone: "So... kill me!"

Uchiha and Maetaki all looked at each other in shock!

The Cao Yin people were all shocked: "Hey, Master Denglong, didn't you say beforehand that you would lead everyone to resist! How could it be like this!!"

Denryu Karin: "If I didn't say this, most of you wouldn't have followed. The final result can be foreseen. Kusagakure will be destroyed by Uchiha, and you will either return to hell or become homeless defectors." Ninja!"

Cao Yinzhong: "!!!"

Denglong Hualien continued to move forward and explained the true meaning of 'kill me' to Ruoshui.

"Kusagakure's tradition is that no matter who defeats the village chief in the presence of all ninjas, he will be the new village chief. If the defeated party is unwilling to accept it, the other party can kill him!"

Ruoshui: "So, what's the point of doing this?"

Denryu Karin: "Kusagakure is an ally of Konoha. To cut off this bond, a force majeure is required. That force majeure will be my death!"

Ruoshui: "Your consciousness is really scary... But looking at the expressions of those people behind you, even if I kill you, they won't listen to me, right?"

Just listen, Denryu Karin shouted in an unarguable voice: "Everyone listen, this is my last order as the current village chief! If I die in the hands of Uchiha Shisui, you must obey Uchiha Shisui unconditionally." As the village chief! No one is allowed to have any objections, otherwise, you will be the traitorous ninja of Kusagakure from now on, do you hear me!!!!"

Everyone in Cao Yin clenched their fists and nodded heavily!

Denglong Hualian stopped twenty steps away from Ruoshui and said sarcastically: "This way, there will be no problem~"

clang!Wakasui, like Yahiko, stood his ninja sword on the ground: "The human heart is very complicated. What should we do if we go back on our word?"

Denglong Hualien smiled and said: "Those who can go back on their word have already escaped from the battlefield. Those who can stand behind me are all the 'successors of the will of the grass'. They will never be a 'weed on the wall'. This is the will of the grass ninja!" !”

Ruoshui smiled, not in ridicule, but in appreciation.

There are various kinds of will.

The will of fire, the will of stone, the will of thunder...the will of grass.

In the future, shouldn’t we also think about the will of light?

Closer to home.

"Whether it's Shikio or you, the leaders of small villages like you are really going to give me problems..."

Killing is enough, but if you want to convince the public, you have to consider the impact. After all, not everyone is afraid of death. The so-called ninjas all have their own way of ninja.

After Ruoshui weighed it up, he said: "Denglong Hualien, I will not fight you, because with your strength, you are not qualified to be my opponent, and I will not condescend to be the head of Caoyin Village, even for a moment. , will tarnish my personality..."

Denglong Hualian gritted her silver teeth at these naked words of humiliation!

Ruoshui changed the topic: "But... I recognize your integrity, so there is someone who will fight on my behalf. If you can defeat her, you can lead the Cao Yinzhong back the way they came. I will not be embarrassed at all." You guys, but if you lose, everyone, including you, will surrender to me!"

Uchiha Shisui... didn't even plan to challenge himself! ?Moreover, he also said that after winning, he would let us go back on condition! ?

The sudden appearance of a way out made Denglong Hualien's eyes brighten instantly!

She has strong confidence in her own strength, and thinks that as long as it is not Uchiha Shisui, she has the possibility of defeating him!

"Then... who is it?"

Ruoshui turned his eyes to the purple-haired woman behind him: "Go..."

Xiyan was suddenly startled: "Me!?"

Ruoshui: "You guys can be considered acquaintances. You know her Ninjutsu, so you have a better chance of winning..."

No matter how far-fetched it sounds, even if he doesn't appear in person, wouldn't it be safer to let Itachi or Fugaku take action?

As a subordinate, Xi Yan did not express her doubts. After calming down, Xi Yan worriedly said: "Master Shisui, Denlong Hualien is very strong. I don't have the confidence to defeat her. If I fail, your The plan will be disrupted..."

It doesn't matter, it's just Cao Yin, it can't affect my plan at all...

What I thought in my heart, after I expressed it to my mouth, turned into: "It doesn't matter, I believe in you, just like the sun believes in the moon~!"

Xiyan thought to herself: Does this mean...without the sun [you] shining brightly, the moon [me] will never shine?If you want to stay by my side and complete your revenge, just do it!

"Understood……"

The sword of ninja is unsheathed, and the face of Maoyue comes out of the battle!

"Let me be your opponent, Denglong Hualien!"

When Denglong Hualien saw the familiar face with a black gauze over his right eye, he hesitated for a moment and exclaimed: "Maoyue...Xiyan! You, why are you here? What's wrong with your right eye?"

Xi Yan caressed the wound under the black gauze that no longer hurt, but the pain in her heart surged up like a tide!

chap!

She pulled off the black veil...revealing her empty and terrifying eyes!

——"It's thanks to the ally you call 'Konoha'!"

The expression of utter hatred, combined with the sudden and shocking scene, even caused Denglong Hualien to hallucinate for a moment, as if... there were black tentacles pouring out of the eye sockets!

"!" Denglong Hualien shook her head vigorously to get rid of distracting thoughts!

Is it an illusion...?

She took a deep breath, raised her hands, and formed a seal that she had never seen before!

"I don't know what happened, but even if you are my opponent, I will not show mercy!"
