Chapter 32 The Tragic Situation in Border Villages

Kushina's cheeks were flushed as she hurried forward, and the blush was caused by the collision.

Especially the two small holes on the nose are extremely obvious.

It's so embarrassing.

Kushina followed Jiraiya with her head down.

Namikaze Minato scratched his face and followed Kushina.

Jin followed from behind.

Walk through the open fields, cross the single-plank bridge across the lake, and cross the steep mountains.

A few people finally arrived not far from the border within three days. Before they reached the border, they saw a village in the distance.

The moment I saw the village.

Jiraiya frowned and made a gesture.

Several people quickly hid.

The closer they got to the border, the more nervous the three of them became.

Even Jiraiya no longer had a smile on his face.

The four of them hid behind a rock and looked towards the village in the distance.

It was already sunset, but there was no smoke rising in the village.

even.

Jiraiya's nose twitched.

The place they were in was downwind, and because their five senses had become sharper with their basic internal skills, they could smell the smell coming from the distant villages.

"The smell of blood."

It looked like something was going on in that village, which was why Jiraiya asked the three of them to hide.

Jiraiya didn't speak, but quickly gestured to the three of them.

At this time, we can't act like we are in the village.

In order to prevent possible enemies from being discovered, everything is done in silence.

The three people understood the gesture and nodded to express their understanding.

Jiraiya then rushed out, leaning forward like an arrow being fired towards the entrance of the village.

Kushina stayed where she was.

Jin and Namikaze Minato moved quickly in the other direction.

Jiraiya needed to rush into the village immediately to investigate the situation.

Namikaze Minato and Jin need to explore outwards from the center of the village.

Kushina's mission is to support any battle that may occur.

Jiraiya rushed into the village without causing any disturbance, and the whole village was completely deserted.

There was only the overwhelming smell of blood and a hellish scene.

The road was covered with blood underfoot, looking at the corpses and mutilated limbs lying on the ground, and many dead people could be seen through the broken door.

Namikaze Minato and Jin also entered the village after quickly completing their reconnaissance.

They both shook their heads at Jiraiya.

There was nothing going on around it.

Kushina was the last to enter the village.

"What's this!?"

He saw severed hands and feet, as well as corpses cut with sharp blades.

Kushina's pupils trembled, she covered her mouth and rushed to the corner of the village to start vomiting.

Although there was a record of killing ninjas, the entire enemy ninja disappeared without a trace under the tail of a tailed beast, and Kushina didn't feel it at all.

This was the first time she had seen such a miserable corpse, and her body's stress response could not be suppressed.

Namikaze Minato's face also turned a bit pale, and the smile that had always been on his face disappeared. He was in a similar situation to Kushina, and he had not really killed an enemy, but he was not as unbearable as Kushina.

Jiraiya couldn't help but cast his eyes on Uchiha Jin.

Uchiha Jin's reaction made him murmur in his heart.

There was no fluctuation in the expression on Jin's face, and he still had a somewhat cynical look as he used a kunai to provoke the injuries of the corpse on the ground.

"They are all kunai shurikens and some swords. There is no damage from any ninjutsu."

As expected, Uchiha are all a bunch of perverts.

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

Seeing such a miserable scene for the first time, few genin were as calm as Jin, and could even detect traces.

These are actions only experienced among ninjas.

Jin didn't know that Jiraiya was slandering him, so he turned and walked into the villager's house.

After searching inside, he came out.

"A large amount of property was robbed in the village."

Jin came out and told Jiraiya the information in the house.

Jiraiya shook his head regretfully, unable to tell whose hand it was.

This is not just a problem for Iwa Ninja, but also Long Ninja Village, Grass Ninja Village, and even Sand Ninja Village may come here to fight the autumn breeze.

Not to mention the wandering ninjas everywhere.

Villages on the border are having a hard time.

At this time, Kushina was feeling a little better, but she was not as full of energy as she was at the beginning.

Namikaze Minato sighed and was about to gather the bodies for these people.

"Wait a minute, Minato!" Jiraiya hurriedly stopped Namikaze Minato's movements.

Namikaze Minato stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiraiya in confusion.

Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato seriously: "Never turn over anyone's body on the battlefield."

No one knew if there was a detonator hidden under the body.

Even Jin only turned over the clothes slightly, more to look at the wounds, and did not turn over the body.

Namikaze Minato sighed and stood up.

"War is really cruel."

"It's not a war yet."

Jin rejected Namikaze Minato's statement that it was still a hell of a peaceful time, but the situation was tense.

But there are not many people who died, and the civilians are the ones who suffer the most.

Most ninjas would not treat the civilians of other countries as human beings.

A slight noise.

The three of them looked at the wellhead of the village at the same time.

Kushina also followed the gazes of others.

There was a slight sound coming from the wellhead that was stained by time. If you didn't listen carefully, you might even think it was the sound of insects.

Jiraiya walked to the wellhead, took out a kunai and placed the sharp section on the wellhead. Through the reflected light, he saw the figure of a girl inside.

"It's a civilian."

Jiraiya then poked his head over.

The girl at the mouth of the well was buried in the well water. She stretched her head out in order to breathe. When she saw someone probing the head of the well, she immediately buried her head again. When she saw Jiraiya's forehead protector through the transparent water, It popped up again.

Reach up.

"help me!"

Jiraiya's hair quickly grew longer, wrapping around the girl and bringing her up.

When she reached the ground, the girl was soaked all over, curled up against the well and shivering.

Well water is not that easy to stay in, especially in this cold weather.

Several people gathered together a pile of firewood and lit it with fire escape ninjutsu. As the flames burned, the girl got better.

Wait until the girl calms down for a while.

Jiraiya then asked.

"What's going on here?"

The girl looked up at Jiraiya, her eyes showing fear.

"Three Iwa ninjas suddenly attacked the village. They killed everyone on sight."

Thinking of the cruelty of those people, the girl trembled even more, her voice filled with tears.

"Why did you come to Konoha?"

Jiraiya could only respond solemnly.

"Feel sorry."

He could only apologize. Even if the Konoha ninja were really here, they might not be able to protect the village.

Killing the enemy is far more important than protecting the village.

They are just ninjas, not soldiers of the Daimyo, and they will not fight for other villages.

"I want revenge!" The girl looked at the few people. Although her eyes were dim with tears, the burning flames reflected in her pupils, which contained deep-seated hatred.

"If you want revenge, prepare 200,000 taels to send a mission to Konoha." Jin poured cold water on the side.

"I have no money." The girl lowered her head. She couldn't even raise 200,000 taels while the village was still there.

"Then forgive us for not being able to do anything."

The other three people showed sympathetic looks on their faces, but did not stop Jin's words.

It's cruel but it's true.

"You shouldn't."

"We have no responsibility to serve anyone in the Fire Nation selflessly. Ninjas act with the goal of reward."

Jin interrupted the girl's attempt to morally abduct her.

"If, in my opinion, you are interfering with our mission."

"I'll kill you."

Jin didn't have any murderous intention or aura, just a plain description, but it made the girl feel that even the fire in front of her couldn't warm her.

"Please, as long as you help me get revenge, I will do anything."

The girl could only plead in a low voice.

Jin wanted to say something else, but Minato Namikaze and Kushina stopped him from continuing to speak.

Jinye didn't care, the three of them all looked at Jiraiya.

"Sorry." Jiraiya apologized again.

There is no way they would do anything for a girl.

The girl's face seemed distorted under the firelight.

The three of them didn't say anything more and just left silently.

Now the focus is on tasks. None of the three are willful people, so naturally they can't take time to send the girl off. Even Kushina, who has a small temper, didn't say much.

She knows the importance.

It is impossible to send the girl to a safe place, and it is even less possible to take the girl to the sentry point. The sentry points on the border are all hidden, and even ninjas are not easy to find them.

If you take a girl with you, there is a risk of exposure.

During this period, there should be no exposure at all.

Jumping in the woods.

"You are too heartless, Uchiha Jin."

Kushina rarely handed over Jin's full name seriously, her expression was unprecedentedly serious. She indeed knew the importance and the choice.

But the girl's experience had to remind her of the past, and she was the only one left in her family.

"Kushina, don't be emotional. It's one of the ninja rules."

Although Minato Namikaze didn't agree with Jin's words, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Jin did.

"Shut up!" Kushina shouted sternly to stop Namikaze Minato.

The figures of the three people stopped.

Kushina looked at Jin waiting for the other's answer.

Jiraiya stood at the top watching his disciple's argument and did not choose to intervene.
