Konoha Winter Night

"We're finally here!" Mitate Washike, who arrived at the location, subconsciously slumped to the ground with the idea of ​​relief, but things were not as simple as he thought.

"I already have a preliminary understanding of physical strength, willpower, and strength, but this is not enough for me to accept you as Class 9." Those eyes seemed to have not noticed the "corpse" lying limp on the ground. Completely ignored.

Suppressing bandits is a task entrusted by a village surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The one who chose such a formal task and assigned it to Class 9 without hesitation was Orochimaru. He didn't explain anything about this, and he didn't care whether he explained this fact.

Touye arrived earlier than the two of them, and this was the intelligence advantage he had, but sharing such information for free was also a judgment he had to make as a ninja.

The distance, calculated based on Orochimaru's speed and the time consumed, is nearly two hundred miles away from Konoha Village. Although it is far enough, it is still far from the scope of the Fire Country, so this is from the Fire Country. Entrustment, to a certain extent, eliminates the possibility of ninjas from outside the village participating in the mission.

Among the complex terrain, there is only one river around. There, a village exists on the water. The village is full of ordinary people, because the country of fire is not a battlefield, and they who have not participated in the disputes in the ninja world are still there. It would not be entangled by enemy ninjas. This was a peaceful place, but it was also invaded by the malicious intentions of this world.

Battles are always happening, and it is not uncommon for the weak to prey on the strong. Compared to the powerful ninjas, the gangsters among the weaker people demand from the village, live in the mountains not far from the village, and come to the village every once in a while to plunder. , killing people, and seemed to raise the people in the village as livestock. This bandit did not wipe out the village at once, but the people in the village finally couldn't stand it, so they sent a young man to escape to Konoha Village to issue a commission.

This mission was taken over by Orochimaru. The reason for taking this mission seems to be very simple. As a ninja, killing people is commonplace, but everything must have a beginning. For Touya and the three of them, this mission is a At the beginning, it was also the first drop of blood in his ninja career, and it was also a criterion for his evaluation.

The night is as dark as ink, the sky and the earth are shrouded in darkness, clouds are surging, and there is no trace of moonlight. From time to time, a gust of wind roars past, rolling up the branches and leaves and making a shrill sound like a night owl.

Allowing Mitate Washike some time to refine the chakra, the three of them took advantage of the darkness that had just fallen to move forward. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain in the winter, they looked up at the sky and felt the cold wind blowing on their cheeks. Everything was gloomy: "It seems like It is going to rain."

A simple reminder was engraved in his mind. The uncertainty of the weather was both annoying and exploitable for ninjas. The sound of rain would cover up the screams of people before death, and the rain would wash away the smell of blood.

The bandit's base is on the top of the mountain, and there is only one main road. For ordinary people, they defend according to the danger, making it difficult to capture the mountain stronghold, but for ninjas, it is not difficult to capture such a stronghold.

Orochimaru led the three of them directly up the steep mountain wall and sneaked into the stronghold without anyone noticing.

Lurking behind the simple house, Orochimaru disappeared, leaving only three brats lurking in the same place. This was not a normal task, it was just a premise that Orochimaru used to assess the qualifications of the three of them, so he would not participate in it. .

The disappearance of Orochimaru caused a moment of confusion for the team, which had no tacit understanding. However, the three of them all maintained the most basic ninja qualities. The initial patient waiting gradually dissipated the annoyance in their hearts.

How to complete the task? What does it mean to truly achieve what Orochimaru requires? The three people who had calmed down were each thinking in their hearts whether to continue patiently lurking or to start taking action, hesitating on the instant decision.

Taking action, Dongye was the first to make a choice. His body jumped backwards and he instantly jumped into the alleyway. His superb landing skills made no sound at all. The moment the figure touched the ground, he was wrapped in darkness. Disappeared.

Sneaking into the cottage only reduces the threat. The main purpose of this mission is still to see blood, and to face the light of swords and shadows intuitively, so Orochimaru does not allow Touya and the others to use assassination to gradually defeat the gangsters in the entire cottage.

Dong Ye, who made this judgment, chose the first action. As for what kind of impact his judgment would have on the two people who stayed behind, he didn't want to think about useless questions.

Killing, he knew clearly countless times that this was the only reason and role for ninjas to survive in this world, but when he actually picked up the kunai and wanted to kill a big man who was relieving himself from behind, he hesitated, which was normal. But it's an unusual choice.

A few centimeters further forward is enough to kill a life. When facing the real flesh and blood, it becomes as dull as a stone. It is the so-called blunt weapon!

The kunai finally stabbed out. Compared to the reason, which had not yet made a choice, the body was the first to make a judgment. It eliminated the threat. The moment he turned his head, a sharp look appeared on the opponent's face, and his gums burst. He was about to The moment he opened his mouth to shout, the kunai automatically traced the position of his throat, causing the excess blood to burst out instantly. The blood-filled voice could only whimper, and his face of despair followed the kunai's next sudden thrust. The entire skull was nailed to the wall.

Hot blood flowed from Dong Ye's forehead. The blood blurred his eyes, and he closed his eyes because of the irritation. His unnecessary actions made his eye sockets sting deeply. His actions of forcing his eyes open to see clearly only allowed the blood to seep through. more frequently.

The hot sensory impact, the raindrops falling with the breath of water mist finally eased, the drizzle, the smell of blood was disrupted when it was about to pass out of the alleyway, the rain participated in this murder , he delayed the discovery of the crime for the murderer, and even went so far as to bury the crime. The so-called rain's selflessness is amazing.

Leaning against the alleyway, the beating of the heart was disrupted again. Everything and the noisy inside of the body made Dongye feel the opposite anger in the silent sadness. Why? Why should I bear such sin!

He's obviously just an eleven or twelve-year-old kid, why? The answer was clear when he became a ninja. It was clearly clear, but he forgot. He knew better than anyone else how bad his mental state was at the moment, but he did not have the ability to stop his random thoughts, both mentally and physically. There was a difference, a difference worse than the new "him" in the first place!

At the worst time, if this disagreement is not resolved, Dongye feels that the new "him" may disappear forever.

I don’t know how long it took, but outside the alley, there were more and more firelights flashing in the misty rain and fog, and the noisy footsteps indicated that someone had been discovered. It was no longer safe here, but no matter what, the feet and body were like It was Dongye who stayed in place uncontrollably. After trying several times, Dongye finally gave up.

What to do and how to do it? At this time when he should be thinking the most, Dongye was too tired to think about it. See more! Prestige official account: hhxs665
