Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 39 Cruel Times

This is a long-abandoned village. If there are still traces of the foundation left to prove it, it is impossible to be sure that humans have ever lived in this desolate land. However, abandoned villages like this are very common in the Kingdom of Rain. To be precise, Not only in the Kingdom of Rain, there are many similar abandoned villages in the Kingdom of Grass.

The Huzhi clan basically set up camp in such abandoned villages along the way.

Although it was said that he could not find a completely intact house to live in and rest in, but with Yuzhang as a Jonin who was good at earth escape, he could catch up with a large engineering team by himself, and could easily build a continuous building. Residential.

"...These abandoned villages are the tragedy of a small country." In a brand-new stone house, Huzhi Dashan was sitting on a stone bench and giving a lecture to the children gathered in the house. These children's The youngest is five years old and the oldest is eleven years old.

they,

It is the future of the Huzhi clan.

In order for the Huzhi clan to thrive in the future, Dashan, the clan leader, takes advantage of every opportunity and does not waste any free time on the road. Once he is free, he will change his job and become a teacher to teach these children who are not ninjas yet.

"Why do you say that? Lord Patriarch, aren't deserted villages very common?"

The oldest boy in the room, who was already eleven years old, raised his hand and asked, "While we were still in the village... When we were still at the Ninja School in Iwagakure Village, we held many school trips, and there were also many training trips in the Land of Earth. There are many abandoned villages left over from the Warring States Period."

ninja school,

This thing, like the ANBU organization, was pioneered by the second-generation Hokage of Konoha Village, and then copied by the other four major ninja villages, copying it like a gourd, but it is a pity that ANBU is such a Killing mechanisms have been introduced by every village, and the Mist Ninjas are even better at this than the original author of Konoha.

however,

In terms of the construction of ninja schools, the villages were not only in a mess, but also in a mess. It was completely unlike Konoha's use of ninja schools to cultivate a large number of civilian ninjas.

But anyway,

Ninja schools are a common institution in the five major ninja villages. Iwagakure also has a ninja school, but it is different from Konoha. Ninety-nine percent of the students enrolled in it are descendants of various families and ninjas from civilian backgrounds. There are very few, and those who are excluded have no chance to stand out.

Before the coup of the Huzhi clan failed,

In addition to practicing the genjutsu passed down from their families at home, the children of the Kozhi family also went to the ninja school to engage in interpersonal activities. However, when the coup failed... all the students from the families who participated in the coup were treated in various ways. reasons to drop out of school.

"Kentaro, you also said that it was a site from the Warring States Period."

Dashan smiled and said: "During your study tour, have you ever encountered abandoned villages in the Kingdom of Earth that have been abandoned for no more than fifty years?"

Hearing this rhetorical question,

Kentaro Koeda frowned, thought for more than ten seconds, and then slowly shook his head.

"Kentaro, you have never seen an abandoned village in the Land of Earth that has been abandoned for less than fifty years. However, these abandoned villages we encountered on the way from the Land of Grass to the Land of Rain... Almost all have appeared within the last fifty years.”

"It sounds like...it all happened after the five major countries were established!"

Another childish voice sounded.

Dashan looked over after hearing the sound, and the smile on his face became warmer, "It's Qianshi! Can you tell me why there have been so many abandoned villages in the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Rain in the past fifty years?"

"Is it because...small countries are the battlefields of big countries?"

Kozhi Senseki, who was only nine years old, replied softly.

"very good!"

<divclass="contentadv">The smile on Dashan’s face became brighter and brighter.

After seven or eight seconds, Dashan stopped the smile on his face, looked at the group of children in the room, and said:

"What Qianshi said is absolutely correct. The reason why these abandoned villages are the tragedy of small countries is because the five major countries regard these small countries as battlefields for war, so there are so many abandoned villages. After all, , counting this war that has not yet ended, there have been three ninja wars since the establishment of the five major countries... The country of rain, the country of grass, the country of rivers and other small countries have been fighting again and again this time. Beaten to pieces in the war.”

"Is that why we are going to the Water Kingdom?"

"Yes, that's why we are going to the Kingdom of Water."

Dashan nodded affirmatively.

This era is the era of the five major countries and the five major ninja villages. Not to mention that the Kozhi clan is now facing the pursuit of the Iwa ninja. It is impossible for them to settle in a small country. Even if there is no pursuit by the Iwa ninja, they will never What kind of chicken head are you willing to go to those small countries?

No matter what, I have to go to one of the five great ninja villages to become a phoenix!

after all,

The Warring States Period is over.

It is no longer possible to run rampant in the ninja world with only the power of one family. The destroyed "Uzushio Village" is a bloody proof. The Uzumaki clan, which was all-powerful in the Warring States Period, could not withstand the ninja village. In terms of attack, the Kozhi clan, which is far weaker than the Uzumaki clan, does not have the ability to stand on its own in today's more competitive ninja world.

"Today's lesson is to tell you that this era is still cruel. It may seem much gentler than the Warring States Period, when people fought every day and fought every night, but in fact, in my opinion, this era is no more cruel than How inferior it was to the Warring States Period!”

Dashan looked at the future of the Kozhi clan and said seriously: "In the past Warring States period, my brothers and I would drag kunai or short swords onto the battlefield to fight the enemies when we were six or seven years old. But in this era ·····You can still see the corpses of children under ten years old on the battlefield.”

Wait until his words fall,

A deathly silence filled the stone house.

The children were all shocked. Even if the younger children did not understand the content of Dashan's teaching, this did not prevent them from integrating into the dead atmosphere.

at this time,

"Clan leader, Yuzhang and Youzhu are all back!"

"And not only them, but also brought a group of people...not the rain ninjas!"

The shouts of the tribesmen came from outside the stone house.

"That's the end of today's class. Go back to your parents first!" Hearing the shouts outside the house, Da Shan decisively ended the get out of class. The children also dispersed in a hurry, and rushed out of the stone house amidst the sounds of farewell. In the blink of an eye, There was no one in the stone house.

Dashan directly used the instant body technique and rushed to the entrance of the temporary residence of the Huzhi clan as quickly as possible.

I saw Yu Zhang, Yousuke... and a group of ninjas wearing standard black combat uniforms coming towards me.
