Forced to sell misery

-

Although the wars between the great powers have ceased, the struggles have never stopped.

All along the way, there were scenes of war - dilapidated houses, traces of weapons everywhere, and... rotting corpses lying on the roadside.

Small countries are struggling to survive between big countries and are still fighting for their own interests.

In this world of ninjas, there is no real peace.

Even though the "Moon Eye" plan was just empty talk and Black Zetsu's conspiracy, but... before that, Nagato's idea was correct.

He may have some understanding of the significance of Akatsuki accepting a large number of war missions.

The emergence of the mercenary organization "Akatsuki" will gradually break the situation where major powers monopolize war resources, and the breaking of this situation represents - change.

Overthrow the old order and establish a new ruling system in a new leadership struggle, thus achieving "peace" in a certain sense.

"Peace" is always a difficult problem, and he has no better answer.

In fact, Orochimaru was right about one thing. As the child of the Uchiha clan leader, growing up in the relatively stable Konoha, he was just a very well protected child.

Because of his sickness when he was a child, he never went to the ninja school, never experienced a real ninja battle, and was never taken to the battlefield by his father Fugaku to see a real war.

Therefore, despite knowing the plot, his focus has always been limited to the conflict between the village and the clan.

Later, when the Uchiha rebelled against Konoha, he joined the Anbu. At that time, the Third War had already ended, and under the control of the top leaders, the missions he received would not involve these.

And now, as a member of the Akatsuki organization, walking in the darkness, he has truly come into contact with the truest side of this world.

Correspondingly, his ideas have also changed.

Not just Konoha, not just the Uchiha clan.

I don’t know how many villages and families are struggling to survive in the turmoil. There is no clear boundary between good and evil in the world.

"What you call peace is tyranny against us." These are what Nagato said.

Different standpoints will lead to different views, and Nagato is right.

Jing Ye is also confused now.

He knew about some changes that would take place in the ninja world after Naruto stopped the Infinite Tsukuyomi in the future.

——That is far from achieving "peace".

Besides, there are people from the Otsutsuki clan causing all kinds of troubles...

But, what then?

We are back to the original problem: without other threats, the suppressed riots will occur again.

Just like when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha joined forces to establish the ninja village system, the ninja world was able to change and gain a period of "peace". However, not long after the first Hokage Hashirama passed away, the Second Ninja World War broke out.

why?

Because there is no longer a threat of absolute overwhelming force, there has never been a shortage of ambitious people in this era.

The problem in the future is the same. The strong people of Naruto's generation will eventually leave. What will happen after that?

Who can guarantee that the ambitious people of that era, after gaining power commensurate with their ambitions, would not start another Ninja World War? !

What should I do then...

"hiss--"

There was a sudden pain in his hand. Jing Ye looked at his finger with a small wound and freed himself from his chaotic thoughts.

The culprit, Black Crow, who was perched on his shoulder, tilted his head cutely and looked at him, his ruby ​​eyes full of innocence.

Jing Ye sighed with a headache. Ever since the "Gigen" incident, these crows have been pestering him...

Waiting for feeding every day has become the norm, and Jing Ye is also happy to raise crows, but... isn't it too much if one flies over and lands on his shoulder and pecks him from time to time?

Under the innocent gaze of the crow, Jing Ye helplessly asked his current partner for help, "Um, Kisame, do you have any bread crumbs or something to eat?"

"..."

In name it was surveillance, but Kisame seriously suspected that Mr. Madara asked him to take care of the child.

"The crows here shouldn't be short of food," Kisame didn't really want to do something like feeding the crows, which would damage his tough guy image, and said meaningfully, "There are too many dead bodies."

"..."

Yes, crows eat carrion...

Thinking of this, looking at the crow in front of him, Jing Ye's eyes became weird——

By the way, this crow... he was just pecked by this guy!

As if noticing Jing Ye's surprise, the black crow shook its feathers.

"Hey!"

With his face covered with feathers, Jing Ye was so angry that he wanted to catch the hateful crow, but the black crow seemed to see through his thoughts. It flapped its wings and flew into the air, then turned back and made a long, mocking cry at Jing Ye.

"I don't care, Kisame, just find some bread crumbs or something," Jingye glared at Kisame fiercely.

"?" Kisame, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, was completely confused. Didn't he just say that?

"I know you have it. Didn't you buy the bread this morning? There should be some left," Jing Ye said through gritted teeth. "Give it to me quickly. I want to lure that damn crow down with the bread crumbs, and then pluck out its feathers!"

"..."

Turning his head away silently, Kisame didn't really want to pay attention to this unreasonable and willful kid.

Although Mr. Madara had instructed him to take good care of Uchiha Kagamiya while not monitoring him, and this care included but was not limited to giving him grilled fish...but Kisame refused to meet his unreasonable demands.

In fact, Kisame is now already suspicious of the relationship between Mr. Madara and this brat... For example, the reason why Mr. Madara is so indulgent towards Uchiha Kagamiya... is because Uchiha Kagamiya is Mr. Madara's illegitimate son... and so on.

"Kisame!" Just when Jing Ye was furious and wanted to take action himself, a large group of crows circled up from the bushes -

"Someone is coming." Jing Ye was stunned for a moment, and told Kisame what he had sensed, "They should be ninjas, and there is one person among them that I am a little concerned about."

"Oh? Is this an existence that Jingye-kun also cares about?" Kisame was also a little interested.

-

Under a simple shelter, many injured ninjas gathered here.

"Go!"

The red-haired little girl with glasses looked at the wounded helplessly and was pushed out fiercely.

She resisted weakly, fell to the ground, and huddled up in a ball holding her head.

But such resistance was too weak. The wounded were like evil spirits seeing delicious food. They pushed and shoved their way to the little girl, pulled her slender arms, and bit them fiercely.

"Mother……"

Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes. She closed her eyes in fear and called for her mother in her heart...

But her mother was already dead, killed by these people... They used her and her as tools to heal their wounds, treating them cruelly...

Someone... someone can come and save her, please...

"You bastards!"

As if in a dream, the voice she had been expecting appeared. The little girl opened her eyes tremblingly and saw a robe with a black background and red clouds.

A young man kicked away the people surrounding her and held her in his arms.

The wounded who were tortured by pain had lost their minds and wanted to rush over to take the little girl back, but when they met the boy's scarlet and violent eyes, they stopped.

With horrified looks, they took out the kunai and other weapons they carried with them, and as if uncontrollably, they pointed them at themselves and stabbed them hard.

"Don't look." A warm hand covered the little girl's eyes.

For a moment, all that could be heard were wailing, pleas for mercy, and... the muffled sound of knives piercing flesh and bodies falling.

"Kisame."

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone escape," Kisame rushed out and killed those who noticed something was wrong and wanted to escape. Then he turned back and complained, "Really, I don't even have the interest to chop these bastards to death."

"If you don't want to suffer anymore," Jing Ye smiled coldly as he looked at the hellish scene in front of him, "then go die."
