The light of leaves

Chapter 81 Looking up at the Starry Sky
Seeing that the robbers stopped chasing him, the grass-yin boy turned back again.

"You scumbags, don't implicate the matter on irrelevant people!"

The bandit leader sneered, "Little ninja, don't think too much about yourself, for us, hatred has never been the number one thing!"

The Cao Yin boy shouted angrily, "Damn it, I will definitely throw you all to prison in the future!"

Seeing this situation, all the robbers laughed and ridiculed.

"Prison? We're so scared!"

"Don't be ridiculous, do you think you have a future?"

In the caravan, Hong whispered, "These developments seem to be the same as the stories you told Soseki before!"

Soseki narrowed his eyes, "It's still a bit different, at least, these robbers don't look like they're acting!"

Asma also became nervous, "Have we been discovered? Are there already ninjas from Yanyin ambushing around?"

Soseki shook his head slightly, "It should be just a routine test, otherwise, it would not be these robbers who appeared."

Asma nodded and asked again, "Then what shall we do later?"

"Let's proceed as normal." Soseki paused, and then added, "Iwain probably knows about our intelligence, so don't deliberately hide your strength. Of course, what I'm talking about is the 'strength' you usually show. !"

"learn!"

On the other side, the robbers seemed to be getting impatient.

"Enough talk, let's send them on their way!"

"It's so strange that these caravans didn't cry and beg for mercy!"

The grass-yin boy rushed up angrily, "Damn it, I won't let you do this! Fire Dungeon Fire Sword!"

Seeing that the other party was waving a flaming long sword, all the robbers immediately scattered and fled.

"Watch out for his flames!"

"Where's the archer? Shoot!"

Asma was a little surprised, "This Kusanagi ninja is quite powerful, so are we going to do it too?"

"let's start!"

Art fire escape ho fireball!
Magic Fox Heart Art (x2)!
Although it was only a C-level ninjutsu, with the skilled cooperation of the three of Soseki, the robbers had no time to react, and nearly half of them were swallowed up in one blow.

"To be able to use such a powerful ninjutsu as Hao Huoqiu so quickly, is there any Jōnin among the enemies?" The exiled rebel ninja among the robbers shouted in horror.

Asma, who was forming seals, froze, "The fireball technique is also considered a powerful ninjutsu? Are these bastards mocking me?"

Thinking of this, he moved a little faster to seal the seal.

Seeing that these robbers were either swallowed by the flames or fell down as if lost in spirit, the boy Kusakashi also showed a hint of shock in his eyes, "It's amazing, it seems that their Jonin didn't make a move at all! I'm already the most powerful genius of Kusakashi, but Three of Konoha's random members are not weaker than me, so is this the strength of Daikoku Ninja Village?"

Trying to suppress the complicated thoughts in his mind, he also rushed to join the mowing team.

……

At night, the bonfire crackled.

"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone!" Caoyin boy said with embarrassment, "My name is Wuwei, and I'm the ninja of Caoyin Village!"

Yamanaka Kai said with a smile, "My name is Yamanaka Kaiichi, and the three of them are my disciples, Kiyomizu Soseki, Yuhi Kuro, Sarutobi Asma, and they are ninjas just like you!"

Wuwei's eyes were amazed, and he said enviously, "You are really good, I am a few years older than you, and I am just patient!"

"Ahaha, it's just so-so!" Asma, who was reminded, acted in her true colors, "By the way, Senior Wuwei, where are your companions?"

Wuwei shook his head with a wry smile, "We have a limited number of ninjas in Caoyin Village, so we can't form a team like you Da Ninja Village."

"Is it so difficult?" Asma touched her head, inexplicably feeling like she was going to the countryside to condolences.

Soseki asked from the side, "Senior Wuwei, why did those bandits chase you down? I seem to have heard them mention hatred?"

Hearing Soseki mention this question, Wuwei became a little lonely, "A large part of them were once prisoners of Ghost Lantern City, and my family is the jailers who supervise them."

"Ghost Lamp City?" Hong was a little puzzled, "Is this the prison of your Caoyin Village?"

Wuwei's face was slightly gloomy. People from the five major countries don't know about this kind of thing?
Yamanaka Kai explained, "Ghost Lantern City was commissioned by various countries to establish Caoyin Village, a prison dedicated to detaining criminal ninjas."

"Then why did you entrust Caoyin..." Asma understood halfway through the question. Of course, such a dangerous prison cannot be placed in a big country.

After he figured it out, he changed the subject and asked, "Then how did these people escape?"

"Is it because of the war?" Soseki sighed softly from the side, his voice was gentle and soft, as if it could bring back the most painful memories in people's hearts.

"Yeah! It's because of the war!" Wuwei Junxiu's face became distorted, "The war spread to Ghost Lamp City, part of the prison was destroyed, and those prisoners killed the prison guards and escaped!"

Yamanaka Kai thought solemnly, "The fire escape of their family can imprison the enemy's Chakra. It stands to reason that even if some prisoners escaped, it would be impossible to kill the prison guards, unless the prison guards who restrained those prisoners happened to be affected by the war. Here, or, there are other ninjas involved..."

"Isn't it ridiculous that the jailer who was supposed to guard the prisoners in those big countries was abandoned by them, even a dog..." Halfway through the speech, Wuwei suddenly woke up, "Wait, what's wrong with me? How could they become so irrational, could it be that they were stimulated by their talents?"

Noticing the complicated expressions on the faces of several people, Wuwei quickly smiled wryly and shook his head, making a painful and confused gesture, "Sorry, I lost my composure. However, things that are forced on me without even knowing the reason can only be honest. Accept it, and then live on without even knowing the reason, maybe this is the fate of us creatures."

"Fate? Belief in this kind of thing will only make you weak!" Soseki said firmly, "I always firmly believe that we are born to change the world!"

"Hehe, is that so?" Wuwei forced a smile, and said with a bit of yin and yang, "As expected of a ninja from Konoha, he easily said things that those of us who live in the gutter dare not even think about!"

"I say this because I, too, have wandered in the dark!"

"What did you say?"

Soseki didn't care about his previous run, but his eyes fell into memories, "When I was three years old, the war destroyed everything I had. I understand the pain and despair, but what I know more is that if I If you are decadent and depressed, those family members who have become stars will also cry for it!"

"Even if I live in the gutter, I still have the right to look up at the stars!"

Wuwei's eyes were shocked, and he muttered to himself, "Looking up at the starry sky? Can people like us really do that?"
