Start with parsing the wood escape

Chapter 19 The Quiet Village
The comfort of her partner made Tsunade feel a little more relaxed, but she could still see that there was a trace of cloud in her brow.

The sudden death and the unknown whereabouts of the rope tree made this originally strong woman almost faint for a while.

Jiraiya saw that the other party's mood had calmed down, and left here with Da Shemaru, the two of them were silent all the way, and stopped when they reached the riverside.

"Have you read all the information?"

Orochimaru said lightly.

"Well, I saw it."

Zilai also nodded.

"You should be thankful to the guy who can use the wooden escape, otherwise, Tsunade might have discovered it earlier and died instantly."

Orochimaru's voice was very cold, as if he had no emotion at all.

"Hehe, maybe it is."

Zilai also gave a wry smile.

"Bai Fang is not the kind of person who can suppress information, so the person who suppresses information is you, Ziraiya."

"You don't seem to be dull at all when it comes to your sweetheart."

Orochimaru sneered.

Jiraiya was also silent, and after a while he raised his head and looked at his companion: "Don't tell Tsunade about this."

He was indeed hiding the news of Duan's death while Tsunade was concentrating on intelligence with Senju Ise.

It wasn't until recently that the news of Shengshu came that he couldn't hold back anymore.

If Tsunade wasn't too sad, he might have noticed the difference in time between the two reports.

"War is really cruel. I don't care about your identity at all, and I don't care who you are."

Orochimaru sighed.

Zilai is also silent.

The suppressed news will break out sooner or later, what will happen when Tsunade sees the unsightly tragedy of Duan not long after?

There may be clues about Shengshu, but no one is sure whether he is alive or not.

However, people should still have some hope, shouldn't they?

"The appearance before death is miserable, can she accept it?"

Orochimaru asked suddenly.

Jiraiya turned and left, not wanting to answer the question.

On the other side, Ise took the rope tree, and the two of them were already approaching the small village that was hazy in the rain and fog.

"so quiet."

Sheng Shu was wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, muttering.

Ise looked forward, and his perception clearly reflected the gestures and numbers of people on the street ahead.

"It's really quiet."

He nodded.

There was no sound, and the whole village seemed quite quiet.

When they stepped into the entrance of the village, their footsteps paused slightly.

There was seriousness in Ise's eyes, while Naoki was full of sympathy.

On both sides of the street, under the dilapidated eaves, water drops were falling, and dead bodies were scattered here and there.

Not far away, there is a dull person sitting there, his eyes are dull and hopeless.

There are also people who are doing something on their own, muttering a few words from time to time, and then showing weird smiles on their faces, which makes people shudder, as if they are crazy.

The two stepped forward and walked into the village.

When we got to the entrance of the village, we saw more normal people.

"Get used to it, these guys only became like this after being hit by the chaos of war."

"Wandering and wandering all the way, when they came here, some people became stronger and cheered up again, some didn't, they went crazy, waiting to die day by day."

The man selling sesame seed cakes said.

Ise nodded, paid the other party, took the biscuits, and handed a piece to Shengshu. The two ate silently, not in a good mood.

"Teacher, did Konoha do something wrong?"

Rope Tree asked suddenly.

Urenin Village may be wrong, but Konoha may not be righteous. Naoki didn't realize it when he was in it, but as the teacher traveled, he saw a different scene.

At the very least, these civilians are innocent, but they have been hurt in this war.

"In war, there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat."

Ise said lightly.

"Different positions determine the justice and evil of different parties in the war. In your opinion, ninjas from enemy countries other than Konoha are evil."

"But in their view, Konoha is not an intruder?"

Shengshu listened, and the sesame seed cake he was biting in his hand suddenly tasted bad.

"Ugh!"

After a moment, he sighed.

But soon, he cheered up again, looked at the teacher who got up, and suddenly understood.Teacher, this is to make myself more clear about the meaning of war, so that I can better deal with life in the future.

Only with the growth of knowledge can we have a deep understanding of life, and the ideological realm will inevitably improve.

"Not here either!"

"Where did Nagato and the others go?"

"It seems that it was mentioned in the original book that Nagato had seen the battle of the three ninjas, so he made up his mind to apprentice. I still have to go to the north, where Konoha and Yuyin village fought."

Ise was thinking in his heart, with a distressed expression on his face.

"But further north, some battles may be unavoidable!"

"I'm still weak, it's really embarrassing."

At this moment, Shengshu also followed.

"Teacher, let's stay in this village for a while longer."

Ise turned around, showing a puzzled expression.

"They are all pitiful!"

Shengshu looked at the streets on both sides. There were lonely adults waiting numbly for something, but there were also children gathered in a group, trembling.

But the difference is that the children's eyes are still full of light.

"They're all my age, sir."

Rope Tree said.

"They're just as optimistic about the future as you are."

Ise suddenly laughed.

There is hope for children who can survive the war and still have light in their eyes.He suddenly had an idea, lingering in his mind.

"Give these biscuits to them."

Ise ordered to throw the burden that was originally used as dry food to Nasuki.

"is teacher!"

The latter responded excitedly, turned around and ran to those children.

"The major ninja villages regard the method of practicing chakra as the biggest secret, and they don't want this method to be passed on to the common people."

"But that notion, in my opinion, lags behind."

"It's really backward!"

Ise's eyes brightened.

Compared with ninjas, the base of civilians is even larger. If you abandon the concept, teach these wandering children to practice chakra.

So a few years later, there may not be a ninja with outstanding talents.

When Shengshu ran back again, Ise's eyes were deep and his voice was full of emotion.

"These street children who lost their parents are the most pitiful during the war."

"Do you know what a ninja will do when facing these children? Rope tree."

Naoshu showed doubts on his face: "Will you take them in?"

"Will kill them!"

"Qualified ninjas are the killing tools cultivated by the state. In order to prevent these children from suffering more pain in the future, they will not hesitate to take action and cut off their future."

Ise's cold words made Nakoki tremble all over, revealing a shocked gaze.

"Go and ask them, is there anyone willing to go with us?"

"There is not much you can do as a teacher, but if you can give a little more light, let's do more!"
