Chapter 78 I hope you become a strong person
The land of rain, the weather turns from overcast and rainy to torrential rain.
"Kyosuke and Chisuke, those two alt accounts, actually got injured and logged off. I've spoiled them too much in the past, and they've developed the bad habit of resting whenever they're injured."
Outside a bandit camp, Ooka Shin held up an umbrella, while Masao stood under it.
"How do you feel about killing someone for the first time?"
Masahiro felt his throat go dry, swallowed, and then said succinctly, "Nervous, sad, resistant, bewildered."
After saying that, Zhengxiong apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Xin, I've disappointed you. I didn't really want to kill anyone."
"Hahaha."
Ooka Shin laughed heartily, his laughter carrying through the rain and attracting the attention of the bandits, some of whom looked toward Ooka Shin's location.
“Very good, Masao, remember how you feel right now, and never forget it. No matter how many people you kill, even if you train killing to be an instinct, never forget it.”
Masao was surprised to hear these words and asked in confusion, "Why? Shouldn't ninjas abandon their emotions? If emotions are too complicated, it will affect the mission."
At that moment, the bandits saw the two boys in the rain and rushed out with sinister smiles.
Ooka Shin took a step back, removed the umbrella from Masao's head, exposing Masao to the heavy rain, and then gave his answer.
“Masao, I never intended to train you into a heartless killing machine; I only wanted you to become a strong person.”
"Humans must have emotions, and humans should abhor killing."
Masao's vision blurred in the dense rain.
The rain was cold, but his heart was warm.
I always thought that Brother Xin saved me just to find a valuable tool.
I once made up my mind to become Brother Xin's blade, abandoning all emotions.
I never imagined that what Brother Xin had always wanted me to become was a living, breathing human being!
Masao stood in the rain, his hands hanging down, holding a long sword, the tip of the blade weakly pressed against the mud.
"Hahaha, this little rascal is scared stiff!"
“We can make a lot of money by selling them.”
"Hey kid, give me your knife!"
The bandits rushed over, and the first one saw the sharp longsword in Zhengxiong's hand. His eyes were filled with greed, and he reached out to grab the sword.
Swish!
The blade flashed through the rain, blood spurted into the air, and the bandit clutched his neck, collapsing helplessly to the ground.
The clash of swords, the spray of blood, the roars of anger, and the wails of agony quickly spread throughout the mountain stronghold.
A monotonous massacre began quickly in the heavy rain and ended just as quickly.
pat pat pat.
With one foot deep and one foot shallow, he stepped over one corpse after another, constantly wading through the mud and water.
Zhengxiong dragged his knife out of the mountain stronghold, his wounds bleeding profusely, leaving red marks behind him.
"The vortex clan has amazing physiques. They're not afraid of training relentlessly, nor are they afraid of numerous wounds. Their strength is growing even faster than mine. They're another genius."
Feeling a surge of jealousy, Ooka Shin smiled speechlessly. He never expected that the child he randomly picked up would turn out to be a genius. He was indeed the real deal.
"Has everything been processed?"
"It's all been dealt with."
"Don't blame me for being heartless. You have great talent, and it absolutely cannot be wasted. This world is full of sorrow, and you must be strong enough to avoid sorrow and live like a human being."
Hearing Ooka Shin's teachings, Masao recalled his past tragic experiences and nodded firmly.
"I know I will do everything in my power to become stronger!"
Looking at the resilient Masao, Ooka Shin smiled: "You've done very well. It won't be long before you surpass me. To be honest, I was even a little jealous of you just now."
Hearing this, Masao felt very happy, his heart filled with sunshine, dispelling the gloom caused by the killing.
"Brother Xin, I will always follow you."
Ooka Shin held up an umbrella to shield Masao from the rain, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go back and have some fish soup!"
Masao was even happier.
"kindness!"
A few hours later, an umbrella and two teenagers appeared in Maple Leaf Canyon and met the ninja guarding it.
Upon seeing Ooka Shin, the guard immediately said, "Shin, the chief is looking for you; it's urgent."
Upon hearing this, Masao felt a pang of disappointment, thinking that he couldn't have fish soup with Ooka Shin, but then he heard Ooka Shin's voice.
"I'm just a little kid. I can't go hungry, or I won't grow tall. I'll see the chief after I've eaten."
If it were truly an urgent matter, they wouldn't have waited for me to return before telling me; they would have sent someone to find me.
If they can wait for me to come back, they can wait for me to eat first.
"Come on, Zhengxiong, let's go eat!"
A moment later in the meeting room, Yahiko received a report from the guards and was utterly speechless.
“I am the leader, yet Shinta ignores me.”
Minami hugged Kanae and said with a smile, "I knew this would happen. It's lunchtime anyway, let's go together."
Nagato also said, "I didn't know Shin was such a good cook until the last time he cooked for me, haha."
"Okay, let's go."
Yahiko left with Konan and Nagato. Kyusuke said to Daibutsu, "Ooka Shin's background is suspicious. The leader trusts him so much, there will be hidden dangers in the future."
The Buddha statue remained silent for a moment, then said objectively, "We all have a past, and the leader has never questioned it. This is not necessarily a good thing, nor is it necessarily a bad thing. We cannot see what the future holds."
Kyusuke still stuck to his point of view: "Hmph, what Ōoka Shin said is too alarming. I'm worried that the leader is being used. Ryutaro, Hideyuki, you must keep a close eye on Ōoka Shin!"
"understand!"
"Yes!"
Ooka Shin's room quickly became lively, and he had to cook more food.
"Hey, remember to pay for your meal. Even if you're the leader, you can't dine and dash."
After the meal, Ooka Shin was about to collect the money, but Yahiko pretended not to hear and explained his purpose.
"Today, we received a letter from the Rain Ninja. Hanzo of the Salamander wishes to meet with us."
Konan and Nagato were cleaning up the dishes, Masao was practicing in the courtyard, and Ooka Shin was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, picking his teeth and talking.
"Well, I guess Hanzo saw the outbreak of war and remembered the tragic fate of the Rain Village last time, so he wanted to test us to see if we were his help or his threat."
The Land of Rain is located at the intersection of the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire, making its location extremely important.
In the last Shinobi World War, the three major powers of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure fought a brutal battle on the Land of Rain, each wanting to take control of the Land of Rain.
However, Hanzo was indeed powerful. Facing the three great ninja villages, he led the weak Amegakure ninja in a valiant battle, managed to maintain his independent status, and earned the prestigious title of "demigod".
It should be noted that in the ninja world, the only person who can be called a "god" is the legendary "God of Shinobi"—Hashirama Senju!
Hanzo is the second one.
Yahiko nodded; Ooka Shin's words were the same as his analysis.
"So how should we deal with this? We can't let Hanzo look down on us, nor can we let him become hostile towards us. In the great war, only by uniting can we protect the Land of Rain."
Ooka Shin racked his brains, recalling what he had learned in his previous life, and said something.
"We must demonstrate our strength, express our desire for peace, uphold the bottom line of equal cooperation, and never back down."
