me and my two queens

I picked and picked among the scattered tasks in winter, and finally chose to clean the battlefield and clear the bandits.

Of course, the former is to make these kids realize the cruelty of the battlefield, and at the same time exercise their psychological resistance; while the latter is purely to let them see blood.

If these two tasks are successfully completed, the next task I will arrange for them will be related to torture.

Rather than let these children be frightened by sudden abnormalities or cruel things in the future, it is better for me to come first. At least I can do it step by step and pay attention to their psychological state at all times.

Human beings are really a creature that can easily adapt to the environment, and so is human society.

In my previous life, the society needed stability and order, so laws and rules raised the value of life, which made it difficult for people from a peaceful society to accept killing, which caused ordinary people and even soldiers to easily develop mental problems when exposed to war .

In this world just after the Warring States period, even young children understand that the "enemy" must be killed, and there are fewer mental problems caused by killing and war.

After all, human life is worthless, and people's empathy for foreigners or people from other villages has become very meager, not to mention that ninjas still have powers that are terrifying to ordinary people. In this case, empathy becomes more difficult.

But... in war, weak empathy is a protection.

"This time the mission is a C-level mission. The mission location is in the hinterland of the Chuan Kingdom. Our main job is to clean up the battlefield, check all traps, and clear out an environment that can be lived by ordinary people."

Before departure, Hinata Hiroshi once again emphasized the key points of the mission: "Advance in squads, carefully check all areas, do not allow too far away from your companions, and report when you encounter ordinary people or ninjas who have not died—— do you understand?"

"Yes!

A group of thirteen and fourteen-year-old children stood straight in a row in front of Hinata Hiroshi, and they answered loudly in unison that this should be the first time they left the village to do a task. Although it was only C-level, it was better than those in Konoha and nearby towns. D-classes are more fun, so they all act very aggressively.

My Makoto swayed slowly behind, looking at this group of children who were eager to try—except for a few people, this group of brats had no idea what the battlefield meant.

The Jonin who led the team was Hinata Hiroshi, and besides him, I and Inuzuka Yoshida from the veterinary class also came to help. After all, there are [-] children in six classes. I can't take care of it.

After all, the mission this time is in the country of Chuan.

But I didn't get close, I just hung far behind the team, using my senses to detect everyone's position.

If there is an accident, then I don't have to mess around.

The country of Chuan is next to the country of fire, and we arrived at the destination soon. The rivers in the country of Chuan are crisscrossed, but the mission site is a scorched earth, houses collapsed, piles of sand and gravel, corpses buried in the sand, trees and stones exude rotten smell. The smell, even under the thin snow, can't hide the stench.

Now that the ninja villages in the five major countries have just been established, the spheres of influence are in a mess. There is no diplomatic precedent between ninja villages, and there is no fixed tactic even in the event of a conflict. It is a disaster.

Of course Konoha is also involved in this dispute, but Brother Ban is fully responsible for our mission outside the inch. His strength and strength keep Konoha at the apex of the dispute, and he even makes all the fights impossible. The territory of the Nation of Fire.

Therefore, in general, the residents of the Land of Fire are the safest.

This time, the battlefield of the Kawa no Ninja mainly came from the fight between sand ninja and iwa ninja. There was no ninja village in this land, so some local families were mixed in the dispute.

It stands to reason that such small battles happen several times a year, which is nothing unusual. However, this time they chose the place of conflict between towns and villages-many ordinary people were involved in the war and died for no reason.

There is no ninja village in the country of Chuanzhi, and the daimyo did not hire ninjas in time to protect their territory, so this time the war was extremely tragic for ordinary people. The towns affected and the surrounding small villages were basically completely destroyed. .

The kids had already started to clean up the battlefield. They fanned out in squads. Their speed slowed down a lot, while Yoshida and Hiroshi patrolled the different teams to make sure their work went smoothly.

I channeled Heiyu and touched her feathers. Heiyu has grown very large now, half a person's height, and her wings are several meters long when she spreads out. Her aptitude is very good, maybe she can be like a human being. longevity.

"Hei Yu, help me look at those children."

Kuroba rubbed my face affectionately, raised her wings and flew high into the sky.

Senju Haruki leveled the purple and black ground with the soil escape, and then threw the lower half of his body, which he didn't know belonged to, onto the small cart behind him.

These rotting corpses must be disposed of before spring, otherwise there is a high possibility of disease in this place, and the rivers in the country of Sichuan extend in all directions, and the disease is very likely to flow into the country of fire.

"Qingshu, are you okay?" Hinata Qianxia asked seriously when she passed by Qingshu, "If you can't take it anymore——"

"No, I'm fine." Qingshu forced a smile, "Thank you."

In the tenth class, both Hiroto and Qianxia have been on the battlefield, only Qingshu has never seen a dead body, so she also seems the most "delicate".

"Let me burn these first." Hiroto overturned a dangerous wall, pulled up the cart and planned to find an open place, "There are no ninja corpses here, it should have been cleaned up a long time ago... only ordinary people are left. Human."

Qingshu hesitated: "Shouldn't we make a tomb..."

"Impossible." Qianxia said softly, "Thousands of people have died here, and the bodies are all fragmented and incomplete. Even if we have this time to bury them, the daimyo of the country of Lichuan in the mission did not mention permission."

Qingshu couldn't believe it: "But aren't these people from the Kingdom of Sichuan? Could it be that they just died?"

"Sand Hidden Village and Iwa Hidden Village have already given Kawa no Kokuni Daimyo enough to satisfy him with compensation and an explanation, so this matter has 'passed', and new population will be moved here soon."

Hiroto knew what Qingshu wanted to say, while looking at his little friend worriedly, he explained helplessly: "Qingshu, we can't handle this kind of thing."

Qingshu took a deep breath, he stayed in this place for so long that he was almost used to the smell here.

"Not all places are Konoha." Qianxia sighed, "Haruki, we can grow up in Konoha because someone is protecting us."

There was a cry of a goshawk in the sky, and the vigorous black eagle slid across the sky, its huge body covering the sky for a moment.

Qingshu recognized it, it was Master's psychic beast.

"Haruto, Hiroto, look!" Qianxia laughed involuntarily, "It's Master Kuroba! Master is watching us!"

Hiroto piled up the corpses on the open space and said, "I see—speed up, Haruki, that whole area is our boundary, and the extra area belongs to Class [-]."

After yelling, Yuren bowed to the corpse inch by inch, and then made a handprint: "Huo Dun-Hao Huoqiu."

The scorching fire jumped up, and it was particularly eye-catching in the cloudy winter day. The heat and smell rushed towards the face, and Qingshu subconsciously lowered his head.

"There are people from the Inuzuka family and Mr. Inuzuka in Class [-]... I don't know how they can bear it." Qian Xia murmured, "Ah... the people from Class [-] are here."

Qingshu looked up, and saw Senju Yumi coming dragging another cart: "There are no players in our team who can escape from fire, can I ask you for help?"

Hiroto nodded coldly: "Yes."

The fire burned even hotter, and Qingshu subconsciously said: "Sister Yumei...I feel very bad."

Senju Yumi sighed, and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay Haruki, you've already performed well like this, people who are on the battlefield for the first time will have different degrees of rejection... Kenjiro in our class has already collapsed, Biwako and Inuzuka-sensei are still taking care of him."

Qingshu remembered that sister Yumei had also been on the battlefield, and it was brought out by his aunt herself... Back then, the battlefield they saw must have been more cruel than this.

The four children stood silently around the fire, and after an unknown amount of time, Qianxia began to detect and detect as usual, but this time she did not pass through safely as before, she suddenly turned her head: "There is someone in that direction—a strange Chakra !"

At this moment, everyone immediately became vigilant, and a ferocious meridian appeared on Qian Xia's face: "Something is coming! It's very fast!"

The black shadow swayed head-on, Hiroto could not help but draw out the knife and slash forward first. His slash hit the target, but the hardness of this thing was far beyond Yuruto's expectation, and the short knife bounced off the hard shell, but the thing itself He was also shot off the track, and shot towards Senju Yumi who was the closest.

Qingshu came from behind, held down Yumi and jumped on the spot, and at the same time spit out the wall of water, and the wall of water surrounded the four of them in an instant.

"Behind--"

Qianxia's voice hadn't fully blurted out yet, the thing had already completed its back attack, and this time its target was Hyuga Qianxia!

"Boom!"

At the very moment, a thunderstorm fell from the sky, forcibly shattering the thing that Yuuto could not cut, and then Uchiha Maki instantly fell beside Chinatsu.

"Master!", "Master Maki!"

For a while, the children cheered, and the black eagle also flew from a distance, circling in the sky.

"Master Maki!" Hinata Hiroshi rushed to him and said angrily, "Is it an enemy attack?!"

It's rare to see Hinata Hiroshi's emotions so exposed, Maki signaled him to calm down, and then said: "It's a puppet, and this kind of production method...is not the traditional method of sand ninja."

puppet master

Maki looked up at the ruins not far away: "Come out, your sealing technique can no longer cover your chakra."

A figure in a black cloak slowly flashed out from behind the chaotic pile, not low in stature, but very thin, with a sand ninja forehead guard hanging on his arm.

With a mask on his face, he looked gloomy and gloomy, revealing only a pair of glass bead-like eyes.

Hinata Hiroshi frowned: "Sand Shinobi's cleanup team?"

"Konoha's ninja..." This person glanced at Hinata Hiroshi's forehead, "I didn't want to conflict with you, who made you feel that there are more ninjas, and there are sand ninja corpses here, my task It's just cleaning up the corpses, the same as your mission, right? I don't have any hostility—"

Sand Shinobu's gaze finally moved to Maki's face, and then his voice stopped abruptly. After a short silence, he became excited: "You are so beautiful, can I make you into a puppet!"
