Chapter 78: I hope you will walk towards the light
Chapter 78 Chiyo: I hope you will walk towards the light
Chiyo carried the body of the Red Sand Scorpion and crossed all the way from the border of the River Country and the Rain Country to the border of the Wind Country and the Bird Country.
"This is already the territory of the Kingdom of Wind."
Ye Cang glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect that the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village would show up, and there are quite a lot of them. They look quite strong, and we almost got into big trouble!"
"Those two kids from Konoha are amazing. Thank you, Master Yekura."
The chuunin under her command gasped.
He was almost killed in the battle just now. If Ye Cang hadn't saved him, he might be a dead body now.
"No, you are my subordinates, and I have the duty to protect each of you."
Ye Cang glanced at the sky, then walked towards Chiyo.
This is a stone pit in a valley, which is relatively hidden and can be used as a place to stay for tonight.
Chiyo looked at the corpse and hesitated for a moment.
Can't save?
save.
She knew in her heart that it was taboo for Scorpion to create human puppets.
If he were alive, he might be a disaster, but if she didn't save him, she could not suppress the grief in her heart.
She had already lost her son and daughter-in-law, and now she was going to lose her only grandson, who was killed in front of her. She let him kill her...
Chiyo's body trembled.
Hearing the voice behind her, she suppressed her emotions and said, "Ye Cang, let me be alone and quiet for a while, okay?"
Ye Cang opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know where to start.
Witnessing the death of a grandson is a grief that ordinary people simply cannot bear.
Elder Chiyo...
"Yes, elder."
She sighed inwardly, then turned around and walked away quietly.
After leaving the stone pit, Ye Cang glanced at the three people sitting outside and said, "Patrol the surrounding area and set up traps to prevent the desert wolves from approaching at night."
"Yes!"
The three of them were ordered to leave.
Ye Cang sighed softly, and then walked away from here.
Chiyo has made up her mind.
She took out a blank scroll and wrote something on it with a pen.
"Scorpion, I hope you will walk towards the light and protect the Sand Village for me."
"This is grandma's last request."
Her eyes were dim.
"I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but, I'm sorry, Master Kazekage, I really can't give up my grandson."
Chiyo made the decision, took a deep breath, and formed seals with her hands.
Treat first.
Under the medical ninjutsu, Scorpion's wounds healed slowly.
After treating her injuries, she changed her seals and looked determined.
Forbidden Technique: Self-Reincarnation!
She placed her hand on the scorpion's chest, using her own vitality to awaken the vitality within the scorpion.
Chiyo never thought that this technique, which she had studied for many years, would be used on Scorpion himself.
Her chakra continued to flow out.
As her own vitality grew weaker and weaker, Chiyo felt Scorpion's heartbeat resume, and then his breathing. After that, she vaguely saw Scorpion sitting up.
but.
Chiyo no longer had the strength to do so.
When she fell, Scorpion finally recovered. He looked at his own physical condition, then turned his head to look at the fallen Chiyo, and the scroll placed beside him...
Scorpion was silent.
He looked at the words on the scroll, his vision blurred, and he wanted to cry but couldn't.
Looking up.
call out!
A figure appeared in an instant.
Ye Cang looked at the Red Sand Scorpion who was sitting up under the stone pit with an ugly expression on his face.
Scorpion smiled and said, "The living is so fragile, isn't it? Even I can be easily destroyed and killed. Only eternal things are the most perfect."
"you?!"
Ye Cang couldn't believe it.
scorpion……
This guy, isn't he sad at all when facing Chiyo who saved him?
She was speechless for a moment.
"what happened?"
Scorpion stood up and looked down at the "sleeping" Chiyo, his eyes flashing with sadness, "You think I should be moved and cry? Don't be ridiculous."
Then he picked up Chiyo and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
But before leaving, he answered.
"I will return to the village, but not now."
Immediately afterwards, the scorpion disappeared in an instant.
……
At night, on the south side of the border mountain between the Land of Rain and the Land of River, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan and Kyohiko sat together, but Kai and Kurokawa were sent away to join the other Rain Ninjas.
Yahiko was grilling meat by a separate campfire.
"I didn't expect that it was you guys who helped Xiaonan on the mountain. Jingyan-kun, it's been a long time since we last met. How is the teacher?"
"teacher?"
Namikaze Minato and Kakashi looked at Kyohiko and Yahiko in surprise.
Neither of them is stupid.
Yahiko will ask Kyohiko about the "teacher", and it is clear that this teacher is known to both of them.
Candidates...
Not much, I'm afraid.
"The teacher is fine, but he has been busy with important events in the village recently and has no time to lead the team."
Jingyan laughed.
Then he pointed at Minato and Kakashi.
"Senior Namikaze Minato was a few years ahead of us and was also our teacher's disciple. He was Hatake Kakashi and he became our teacher's disciple at the same time as me."
"Hello, I'm Yahiko. I studied with my teachers for three years. They are Nagato and Konan..."
Yahiko also introduced the two.
Nagato nodded slightly, remained silent, and looked a little stiff.
"Hello, I'm Xiaonan."
Konan had met Jingyan before and had fought alongside them before, so naturally they were closer.
Minato was stunned.
He looked at the three people, then at Jingyan, as if asking a silent question, but in the end he became gentle with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the teacher actually has three students in the Hidden Rain Village. Hello."
He said hello.
Kakashi was shocked at first, but after getting over the initial shock, he fell silent and thought to himself.
then……
He found that it wasn't that surprising.
Jiraiya himself is very eccentric and not serious at all. He would often ambush in some indescribable places to corrupt people. If it weren't for his title as one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya would definitely be hated by everyone in the village.
Such an unserious teacher yearns for peace and the elimination of war.
With such a personality and ambition, Jiraiya could have done something like this.
The only thing that makes people wonder is how Jingyan knew them?
He looked at Jingyan, hoping to get an answer.
Namikaze Minato had the same doubts, and Jingyan whispered to explain how they met. Only then did the two understand why Jingyan sent Kai and Kurokawa away.
Everyone here is Jiraiya's disciple, so some things are easier to say.
otherwise.
It is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Afterwards, Yahiko smiled and told everyone about how he met Jiraiya. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that they didn't expect that this was how Jiraiya knew them.
but.
Minato Namikaze had a more concerning issue.
"Your name is Nagato, right?"
"Ok?"
"Does any of your family belong to the Uzumaki clan?"
Namikaze Minato asked curiously.
Nagato looked up at him, then was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know what the Uzumaki clan you are talking about is like. I have never heard of it."
"The Uzumaki clan I've seen all have red hair, and their chakra is stronger than that of ordinary people..."
Minato described the characteristics of the Uzumaki clan.
Nagato was confused at first.
After hearing this, he gradually became certain: "The person you are talking about may be my mother. Her name is Fusang." "Fusang."
Minato muttered, and then did not bother to ask about the other party's mother's whereabouts.
After all, war...
Since Nagato himself was not a member of the Uzumaki clan, there was no need for him to ask questions about what the Uzumaki people thought of Kushina.
He sighed in his heart.
"Minato, what's wrong?"
Yahiko noticed that Namikaze Minato looked different.
Namikaze Minato shook his head.
"nothing."
No one asked any more questions.
After some communication and chatting, they gradually became familiar with each other.
Yahiko, on his part, pulled Kyohiko out alone.
"Kyohiko, I have to thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? Going south is your own choice. But you have to be careful. The more you go south, the more likely you are to run into ninjas from the Sand Village and the Hidden Leaf Village. You have to be careful to protect yourself."
"Well, we have been operating in the area south of here for a while now, and the missions we have accepted are mostly related to the Bird Country, avoiding the main areas of your several large villages."
Yahiko replied in a low voice.
Then he sighed and said, "The King of the Bird Kingdom even invited us to develop there. We are still considering it."
"The Bird Country?"
Jingyan thought about it and then remembered.
That is a good country. There are not many ninja forces in the country, just a group of wandering ninjas, and they may not reach the Bird Country yet.
It is indeed a good place for Yahiko and the others.
He thought about it and said, "It's something we can actually consider."
"Well, I also think it can be used as a backup. In the Kawa no Kuni..."
Yahiko sighed.
chaos!
This is his intuitive feeling about the Land of Rivers.
Here, there are many businessmen, but also many wandering samurai and wandering ninjas.
Many of these people are no different from bandits.
but.
The real source of all this...
It’s still Sand Village and Konoha.
Two powerful ninja villages squeezed it in the middle, depriving it of freedom.
"It's not easy for Hanzo!"
"If there were more Hanzo in the Land of Rain, they might be able to stop the war. What a pity..."
Jingyan shook his head and sighed.
Then, he added: "Konoha has no intention of starting a war, but there is the Iwagakure Village above us, the Sandgakure Village on our left, and the Kumogakure Village and the Mistgakure Village on our right, watching covetously. We can do nothing about it."
Yahiko thought about it and found that it was true.
The Fire Nation occupies the most fertile land.
The surrounding big countries all wanted to get a piece of the pie. Ever since the death of Hashirama Senju, the Fire Country has been under siege. The rise of Hanzo of the Rain Country has instead shared the firepower.
However, Hanzo today may not be as brave as he once was.
He thought for a moment, then understood what Jing Yan meant, and said, "You want to?"
"Brother Yahiko, I hope to reach a private alliance with you. You will help us collect information about the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, and we will pay you a portion of the reward."
Jing Yan said, "How is it?"
Yahiko pondered for a moment and nodded.
"If it's just information, it's fine if you don't pay for it..."
"A long-term relationship must be healthy. If you don't eat, do your subordinates not eat either?"
Jingyan asked back.
Yahiko scratched his head.
This is true.
Their current source of funds depends more on Xiaonan making detonating talismans, and secondly on helping others accept commissions.
even--
Since the people they help are civilians, many times, they may not earn any financial income from helping others, but instead have to spend some money out of their own pocket.
Without Xiaonan, they would have starved to death long ago.
It is indeed more beneficial to form a healthy relationship...
Yahiko nodded in agreement.
"correct."
Kyohiko suddenly thought of something else, "You have to be careful of Danzo!"
"Danzo? The Dark of the Ninja Realm?"
"Yes, you should know him. Sensei is competing for the next generation of Hokage for Tsunade and is on the opposite side of Danzo. What if he knows about your relationship with Sensei..."
Jingyan explained in a low voice.
Yahiko is not Nagato, he understands this immediately and instantly understands Kyohiko's concerns.
"I'll be careful. By the way, the Uzumaki clan that Minato mentioned..."
"Minato-senpai's wife is a member of the Uzumaki clan. She stayed in Konoha before and was not affected when the clan was exterminated."
Jingyan answered.
Yahiko understood immediately.
It's no wonder that he asked about Nagato.
"Kyohiko, let's go."
"Yes!"
Jing Yan responded, and then whispered, "I'm leaving. You should develop in a low profile under the private commission of Torii and Kawai, and don't attract the attention of too many forces."
"I see."
Yahiko nodded.
There aren't many of them now.
The commissions from the Bird Country and the northern part of the River Country, plus the rewards for the information given by Konoha, are enough for their people to live.
After that, it’s about development and becoming stronger.
Then find a way to take control of the Hidden Rain Village and make the Rain Country stronger!
Yahiko exhaled and held out a hand.
"Kyohiko, even though we met through our teacher, I can promise that I will never do anything to let my teacher and Konoha down!"
"it is good!"
Jingyan stretched out his hand and shook it with his.
Then he waved and followed Kakashi and Might Guy out of their station.
Yahiko watched them leave, feeling deeply moved.
Eight years old.
When he was eight years old, he was still a little kid who knew little, but the other party was already talking and laughing about the situation in the ninja world.
What a difference!
……
Jingyan glanced at the system panel.
[You reached a cooperation with the wandering organization headed by "Yahiko" to attract foreign aid for Konoha]
[Reward: Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique (Proficient)]
Water dragon bomb.
skilled?
Jingyan was slightly surprised.
After searching his memory, he finally understood why it was directly called "skilled".
One is the second-generation collection of books that I have read before, which provided considerable help.
Another one is that Water Array Wall, Water Wave, and the "simplified seal" knowledge brought by upgrading Water Array Wall to the master level provide a considerable bonus.
A combination of many factors.
As soon as he mastered the Water Dragon Bullet, he reached the "proficient" threshold and was directly promoted to this stage by the system, and it could be simplified to six hand seals.
Although it is not as good as the three hand seals of the Second Hokage, the hand seal speed is comparable to Maruboshi Kosuke.
It saves a lot of trouble.
Jingyan was quite satisfied.
"What are you talking about over there?"
"I asked them to help us keep an eye on the movements of the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom. I hope they can provide intelligence on these two countries."
Kyouhiko didn't hide anything from Minato Namikaze.
Minato thought about it for a moment, and agreed with Jingyan's decision, but -
"How do you contact them?"
"Hey, this is the teacher's business. I just do the work and don't care about the follow-up."
