Start From Parsing Wood Style

Chapter 6: To Survive

Kotaro’s voice echoed in his ears, and Ise’s mood became heavier.

In simple words, the war was explained extremely clearly.

Death, normality, cold, cruel.

The darkest scene of mankind will be fully displayed in front of everyone at this moment. The separation of life and death is only a momentary matter.

“Maybe your partner was still joking with you the day before, and promised to have a barbecue together after coming back. Today you see only the cold body of the other party.”

Kotaro was still talking.

Ise looked forward, everyone stood up straight, and walked towards a group of people wearing a gas mask.

Hanzō of the Salamander!

His eyes condensed on the figure walking in the forefront. He couldn’t see his face clearly, only the cold eyes under the mask.

Very imposing, but also very sharp eyes, by no means ordinary civilians can meet with them.

After Hanzō of the Salamander came here, he didn’t give a speech, just raised his hand and spit out two words faintly.

“Start!”

Then, under the guidance of the ninja in charge of the memorial ceremony, everyone began to bow neatly to pay homage to the dead.

Finally, when you line up and place the white paper flowers in front of the cemetery, the memorial ceremony is over.

People quietly dispersed, and Ise followed behind Kotaro, silently.

Obviously, these ninjas have become accustomed to such a scene. After being dispersed, some people smiled on their faces, and some people went home as planned and continued to sleep.

But it was his first experience, and he felt heavy inexplicably.

“Ise, I will be on the battlefield again tomorrow.”

Kotaro suddenly stretched out his hand, took Ise’s shoulder, and said with a smile.

“You must come back safely.”

Ise said solemnly.

“Haha, for me, every time I go to the battlefield is a gambling. If you win, you can eat a few more meals. If you lose, it’s not a big deal, even if you die.”

“Anyway, I have only one person left. My parents, wife, and children have all died in this war.”

“Being alone, there is nothing to worry about.”

Kotaro said with a smile.

“On the contrary, you have to take care of your younger siblings and Nagato!”

“This is your most precious asset!”

Ise was startled, then solemnly nodded.

This was the last conversation between the two, and they soon dispersed, and Kotaro went to prepare the equipment for the front line battlefield tomorrow.

Ise returned home quickly, and Nagato ran out happily.

“My father, can you tell me the story of Monkey King again?”

Rubbing his son’s hair, Ise comforted: “Next time, Dad has things to do now.”

Nagato pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction: “You have been busy lately. You are not with my mother and me anymore, and I don’t know what you are up to.”

“Dad, me, I am busy getting stronger and stronger, so I can protect you.”

“Right now, the outside world is still dangerous.”

Nagato blinked. Although he is only four years old now, he is also very sensible. He no longer pesters Ise, and ran to help Fusang alone.

Ise went into the jungle again, and he began to practice Chakra desperately, practicing powerful punches.

With the use of Chakra again and again, to make up for the shortcomings and deficiencies of using Chakra, his powerful punches gradually increase.

At the same time, Rain Shinobi Village chief’s office.

“My lord, Sand Shinobi, Konoha’s attacks have become more frequent. Our frontline may not last long.”

A low voice sounded, and Hanzō of the Salamander, who was sitting at the desk, suddenly felt like a meal.

“Yes?”

With a sigh of Ruoyoruowu, Hanzō of the Salamander raised his head.

“You mean, let me start thinking about peace talks with one of the parties?”

The bowed Jōnin did not speak.

“The War of the Three Kingdoms, however, used our country of rain as the battlefield. No matter how we fight, we will suffer the most.”

“But even so, we still have to bow to them and pray for peace.”

“Really ridiculous.”

Hanzō of the Salamander smiled, somewhat sad.

“Who is Konoha leading the battle this time?”

He suddenly asked again.

“They are the three disciples of Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru.”

Jōnin replied.

“The younger generation of Konoha is really full of talents. Looking back at my country of rain.”

Hanzo didn’t say the following words.

Rain Shinobi Village can handle it, and the only person who carries the banner is he who is known as a demigod. Once he falls, who else is in Rain Shinobi Village?

Gone.

This is the gap.

Silence, Hanzo fell into silence, only after a long while, he said.

“Gradually take back the northeast front and fight against Konoha.”

Jōnin suddenly raised his head: “Then, where are the civilians in the northeastern region of the Land of Rain?”

Hanzō of the Salamander’s expression became cold: “In order to preserve our country’s vitality, we can only make sacrifices.”

Jōnin looked complicated, and finally stepped back silently.

This is a difficult decision. Once the ninjas defending the northeast front line withdraw, Konoha’s ninjas will immediately break into the country of rain, and the civilians who stay there will inevitably encounter accidents.

During the war, the ninja, as a tool of murder, would not have much mercy.

Two days later, the northeast front line of the Land of Rain.

“What did you say? The superior asked us to retreat?”

“Abandon the Northeast region?”

“What do you mean? You want to show weakness to Konoha and prepare for peace talks?”

“What a joke, how many people will die! Do you know?”

Kotaro looked ugly and asked Jōnin in front of him.

“This is an order from Hanzo-sama.”

Jōnin said blankly.

“I can’t follow orders like this. If these executioners are allowed to enter the village, what should the civilians do?”

Kotaro roared.

“The village can be better protected by retaining the vitality.”

Jōnin said.

“If you want to withdraw, I won’t withdraw!!”

Kotaro’s face was pale, and he said loudly.

His brother Ise is still in that area, they withdrew, what about Ise? His child is only four years old.

“Don’t force it.”

“I am only responsible for passing on the orders of the adults.”

Jōnin turned and left.

There are some people who thought together with Kotaro, and they decided to stay here forever. These people are no longer concerned, life and death are meaningless.

“Compared to life and death, we are more flesh and blood!”

“I will never tolerate it. Let these butchers and executioners enter their own village!”

Kotaro clenched his weapon and gritted his teeth.

However, this kind of resistance only lasted for three days. Konoha’s army struck, and it was only the first wave of shock, and the people around Kotaro died in pieces.

The detonation talisman, sharp kunai, flew through the jungle, and his comrades fell one by one in the sound of the explosion.

At the end, a pair of cold eyes caught his eyes, Kotaro roared and attacked.

But just for a moment, the other party’s Short Sword had pierced his heart.

The strength dissipated from his body, Kotaro’s eyes became vacant, and at the last moment of his life, he suddenly remembered Ise’s gentle eyes.

“You must survive!”

“Ise!”
