Chapter 24 Hesitation
·
Zhong Er Shi Bing Wo Bu Zhi
Madara could feel the blood that had lost its temperature flow slowly along the blade to the palm of his hand, and the man's slowing heartbeat was clearly reflected along the blade.
Madara frowned and retracted the dagger, raised his hand and shook off the blood on the blade. The lifeless body behind him could no longer stand without the support of the blade, and his limbs twisted and fell to the ground.
Along with the sound of the body falling to the ground, the girl also broke away from the woman's hand and ran towards Madara. Her small fists hit Madara's body one after another, "Bad guy! Bad guy! Don't hit my dad! Oh!" Woo, why are you here to bully us! Bad guy! Beat you! Wuwuwu, dad, get up quickly, I will help you beat the bad guys away, get up quickly! Wuwuwu!"
The woman finally recovered from her panic, knelt on the ground and begged Madara with a choked voice to at least let the child go.
Madara lowered his head and looked at the girl who was crying and screaming, and raised the knife in his hand again. He just looked at the girl's eyes full of anger and stained with tears like obsidian, but the knife in his hand could not fall down. .
【Are you going to let them go?No, if we just let the children go...]
But before Madara could settle his thoughts, a line of blood appeared on the girl's neck. Her immature face was filled with anger and shock, as if she was blaming something, and her obsidian-like eyes had completely lost their luster.
Before the girl's head rolled to the ground, the woman's pleading stopped abruptly. Instead, Uchiha Kenji's slightly deeper voice sounded, "I'm still wondering why you came in for so long...it turns out you met It’s a woman and a child.”
Madara lowered his head and looked at the lifeless young body, his voice seemed dry and stiff, "...I'm sorry, I was hesitant."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's your first time to kill with a knife today. You'll get better over time." Uchiha Kenji shook off the blood on the knife, walked over and stretched out his hand to block Madara's eyes, preventing him from staring at the body anymore. "If you really feel uncomfortable, go to the gate of the bandit village to help guard. Ling and I will finish it off."
Madara just nodded blankly and walked out stiffly. When Ling and Uchiha Kenji walked towards him with blood on their clothes, his mind was still in chaos.
It wasn't until the rolling heat wave hit his face that Madara moved his gaze to the two people who were releasing fire-attribute ninjutsu to destroy the scene.
Ling Gan coughed a few times, then reached out and fumbled for a sealing scroll. He used his fingertips to draw two cans of water in bamboo tubes and said in a dry voice, "Kenji? Madara?"
"Ah, thank you very much," Uchiha Kenji took the water glass and threw a bottle to Madara, his voice was equally dry, "The fire escape ninjutsu is convenient, but it's a bit taxing on the throat."
Ling took out another bottle of water, took a few sips and said, "Xiansi, how is the fire?"
"No problem. Judging from the wind direction tonight and the position of the stockade, there is no threat to the mountains and forests, so we can retreat."
"Well, let's go then. I remember that the mission to steal intelligence later is in a city not far away. We will go there to rest tonight... no, today during the day." Ling turned to Madara's direction, "How about Madara? , can you still lead the way?"
"...Yes, I have no problem." After saying that, Madara wanted to step forward to lead the way, but when he passed by Ling, his wrist was pulled, "...Brother?"
"You're not in the right state. I think we need to talk...to change plans and find a suitable camp nearby."
Before Madara could refuse, Ling bit off his right thumb, drew a horizontal line on the palm of his left hand, formed seals one after another, and then pressed it on the ground, "Psychic Technique."
As the white smoke rose, a crow with jet-black wings appeared in front of the three of them. After covering his head with its wings in a very humane way, it flapped its wings and flew to Ling's shoulder. "It's not good to be channeled in your sleep." The experience...what do you want me to do?"
"Sorry, Yata," Ling tilted his head slightly, "Can you help me find a suitable camping spot nearby?"
"No problem," Yata nodded, "But I think we need to discuss the working time later."
"Okay, when I finish my mission and go back, I'll take Sanzu with me and we'll discuss it. Please leave now."
"Don't worry, follow me!"
"Kensi, I'm begging you too."
Uchiha Kenji glanced at Madara, who was still a little dazed, and said no nonsense. The three magatama quietly opened in his eyes, and he looked at Yata hovering above, "Okay."
Ling led Madara to follow Uchiha Kenji, "Madara, what happened?"
"No, it's nothing." Madara came to his senses completely now and kept up with the pace of the two of them, but he still felt unhappy in his heart, "I just have a wavering that is not consistent with my status as a ninja..."
"Are you against the idea of killing someone?"
Madara shook his head, but quickly came to his senses and said, "No, although it's a little awkward, it's not to the point of conflict... I just, just... don't know if it's the right thing to do."
"Let me tell you," Uchiha Kenji slowed down a little, "To put it simply, this guy has pity for women and children, and he can't kill people neatly. He was a little shocked after seeing me kill people. "
"Is that so..."
Hearing Ling's voice, Madara pursed his lips unconsciously, and his thoughts became confused again.
[I must have disappointed my brother, right?I can't even complete a task of this level independently... As a ninja, I must completely get rid of these useless things in the future——】
"It seems that our Madara is a kind child."
Madara looked at Ling in astonishment, and after seeing the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, the frustration and tension in his heart were greatly relieved, but his words were still full of doubts and self-blame, "Brother, you don't have to take into account my emotions, if you make a mistake, you are wrong.
If it hadn't been for Brother Kenji at that time, I would probably have let the mother and daughter go... By then, the mission might have been judged as a failure, right?This kind of behavior should be punished. "
"I'm not trying to protect you, but it's really not necessary," Ling said with a smile, "I would rather say that Madara's performance has been very good, he didn't vomit or cry, and he can reflect on himself in time... …Not bad for a first kill mission.
And in my opinion, Madara's merciless behavior towards women and children just shows that Madara has the potential to become a truly strong man. "
