Konoha's cannon fodder life

Chapter 32 God’s will or man’s will?

"Grandpa Portelo, when will the war going on outside end?"

A few urchins were surrounding an old man with white hair and beard. The old man was sitting at the gate of a small village in the middle of the mountain leaning on crutches, answering the children's questions with a smile on his eyes.

"When Lord Day grows taller than a hoe, then the war will end and peace will be restored in our country of grass."

A little boy asked worriedly: "Grandpa Potro, will our father and brother come back?"

"Of course!"

The old man answered sternly, although the old man answered very frankly, he was not very satisfied with the current situation on the battlefield. The Country of Grass and the Country of Fire are allies. Now that Konoha Ninja has collapsed thousands of miles away, it has been a long time since I saw him here. The trail of the Konoha ninja is gone.For those strong laborers who were taken away by the bandits, Portelo no longer had any illusions.

The ninjas in the Country of Grass can only fight bandits and thieves, but now even the ninjas in the Country of Grass are defeated with the defeat of Konoha, and the village can only endure the looting of those bandits.

The bandits looted and looted, and the village had no valuable items. This time the bandits captured the strong labor force in the village, leaving the villagers unable to meet their daily production requirements. This was the bandit's method of plundering the villagers. Without strong labor force, it was difficult to maintain production. The old, weak, women and children could only spend their last money or Valuable items were handed over to bandits and thieves in order to free the hostages.

On the one hand, it is the threat of bandits, on the other hand, it is the threat of food.The villagers have a hard time choosing. It would be nice if the village still had finances, but after more than half a year of war, the village has already run out of extra financial and material resources.

At dusk, the children's stomachs growled, and Porttrue sighed worriedly.Without the protection of the men, the women in the village had no choice but to do the work, and the old people took care of the children.

"Grandpa Portelo, I'm hungry..."

"I'm hungry too."

······

Portelo frowned and sighed, then comforted the children.

"Kids, wait a minute, grandpa will catch fish and make fish soup for you."

As soon as they ate fish soup again, the faces of the children suddenly collapsed.Seeing the child's distressed face, Botulu looked haggard again. The food in the village had to wait until the winter, and that was the real crisis.

As night fell, all the women in the village came back. Portelo looked up at the looming moon, handed the children to the women, and went out with a large fishing net.Portelo wanted to catch some fish while he still had some strength, and those women needed nutritional supplements while doing heavy physical work every day.

Portelo came to the river with his fishing net, and stepped on the boat in the dark under the bleak moonlight. Fortunately, the village was not far from the grass river, where fishing was possible.Portelo is especially grateful for the river of grass that flooded from time to time in the past. The flooding in the past made the people in the village very distressed, but it is no longer necessary because the land near the river of grass is not cultivated by so many people. The flood this time did not affect the villagers at all. .

Standing under the moonlight, Portelo looked at the river quietly. He has been doing fishing for many years and is very experienced.When the boat floated to the middle of the river, some air bubbles floated on the surface of the water. Portelo was quick with his hands and eyes, and quickly cast out a large net.

The timing of casting the net was very good this time. Botru pulled the fishing net hard, with a smile he hadn't seen for a long time on his face. The fish caught this time can feed everyone for several days. Botru is proud of his contribution but also helpless. He can only catch some fish.

The fishing net was dragged onto the boat, and the belly of the fish shone brightly in the moonlight. Botru happily picked out the fish, put the larger ones in the barrel, and then closed the lid. But Pottru was in trouble with those small fish. As an old fisherman, he knew that he had to put the small fish back into the river, but the situation in the village did not allow him to make such a decision.

After thinking about it, Botru decided to take the little fish back to the village. There are almost no people left, so who cares about those small fishes? If he releases those small fishes, then who will release them?

Porteru was paddling in a small boat when suddenly something floated on the river not far in front of him. After the boat approached, Porteru finally saw what it was.It turned out to be a corpse, and Porttrue shook his head. The war has been going on for so long, and Porttrue is no stranger to corpses floating from upstream.

After picking up the corpse, Portelo saw the shiny Konoha ninja forehead by the moonlight.I haven't seen Konoha Ninja for a long time, and I heard that Konoha's ninja is very rich, and Portelo is going to reach out to make a fortune.From a small bottle, Portelo got a few pills, and after gently sniffing the water-soaked pills, Portelo was very excited.

"Bing Liang Pills!"

What a good thing, with it, the people in the village can have more food for a few days.It is said that the medicine can provide strength to the ninja, and it will not be hungry. Porteru is very happy, and he is ready to reach out to explore other items. When Porteru puts his hand into the arms of the "corpse", there is a slight heartbeat Make him terrified.

Pulling out the knife used to cut the aquatic plants, Portelo gasped and looked at the "corpse" lying in front of him.He lightly probed with his toes, but the corpse still didn't show any response, then Porteru boldly stretched out his hand to test his breath, although it was very faint, Porteru could still feel the breath.

Looking at the silent and deserted river bank, Botru's eyes flashed with evil intent. Now Iwagakure is about to occupy the Land of Grass, and the Konoha ninjas will bring disaster to the already dying village. If Konoha had the upper hand before the war started or in the early stages of the war, Boturu would definitely save them, but that may not be the case now.

The Konoha ninja salvaged by Bottruo was none other than Jiang Yuan. After being shot off the cliff with a shuriken by Iwain, Jiang Yuan was blown unconscious by the detonating talisman.Fortunately, he sank to the bottom of the river for a while, and the explosion of the detonating talisman did not cause him any harm, and then he was brought here by the river.

Under the moonlight, Portelo could vaguely see the face of Jiang Yuan.It turned out to be a young ninja. It was a pity to go to the battlefield at such a young age, but when he thought of the children in the village, Portelo still felt that his own children were more pleasing to the eye.

"I'm sorry kid, we also want to live."

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan, who was unconscious, spit out a mouthful of river water. Botru was so frightened that he dropped his knife into the river and lay on the side of the boat to fish it out for a long time. Botru had to accept the result.

Maybe it was God's will, maybe Portel didn't want to kill Jiang Yuan at all, maybe it was to accumulate merit.Bottru didn't kill Jiangyuan, but took him back to the village and fished Jiangyuan. Bottru didn't even take care of his fish, and rushed to the sparse lights not far away with Jiangyuan dying on his back .

And when he brought Ewara back to the village, he was relieved by the behavior of the villagers, the women and others didn't blame Botrue for bringing back a Konoha ninja.Everyone is rushing to save Jiang Yuan, and they don't care about the shiny Konoha forehead on Jiang Yuan's forehead.

Botru quietly took off his forehead protector without anyone noticing, and then put it away. Without the forehead protector, who can prove that this boy is a Konoha ninja? This is obviously an ordinary boy who was hunted down by thieves!
