Naruto: The Legend of Mortal Bone Ninja

Li Zhen heard the sound.

"Who are you! What are you going to do to these children!"

That was an angry voice, for the sake of these children who had nothing to do with themselves, why on earth could they do this to this extent.

"Ah, really, don't make any noise. We are just here to recycle these guys, not to damage them."

"Stop talking about these kids like objects!"

Li Zhen heard the sound.

That is anger. What does anger come from? Does it come from being treated unfairly? Does it come from being bullied? Does it come from being knocked down?

Something is wrong.

"Well...get those kids...!"

"This guy is standing up again. It's almost time to give up. With your body like that..."

"……give me back!"

By the way, no matter how you put yourself in the perspective of a victim, doesn’t anger always arise from the powerlessness of the person involved?

If you are strong enough, there will be no unfairness. If you are strong enough, you will not be bullied. If you are strong enough, you will not be knocked down.

Having said that, it is not something that can be done easily, so people want to become stronger and transcend the pain.

In Li Zhen's dazed consciousness, he saw a middle-aged warrior with a bruised nose and face lying in the mud. Although he was a little confused as to why he didn't just kill this poor guy, his brain's command to rest soon made him shut up. eyes.

So...that's not your fault, uncle.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Zhen was back in the familiar cage.

Fumbling with his fingers, he found traces of days in the dark cell. They were marks made after he was first imprisoned. Although Li Zhen thought he could endure loneliness, it turned out that humans couldn't do that kind of thing. of, needing others, or doing something to find yourself.

"..."

The eyeballs gradually adapted to the dim light, and the pain that had previously affected the body seemed to be fake and no longer existed. One could clearly feel the excess vitality of this young body.

The patrolling guard passed by the cell door regularly. It was the guard Li Zhen had seen before. It seemed that this guy had not been promoted or made any money after so long.

"Is it."

Is this what happened? After all, Mizuji Rizo did say that he would send someone to pick them up. Was he discovered after entering the capital, or did the other party have some special means to find him and others? I don’t know what else is going on now. What happened to the two guys and Mifune, but before that...

Li Zhen took off his gray robe, revealing his thin body. All his previous clothes and equipment were confiscated.Although the experience of the past three months has brought strength and spirit to a higher level, the body itself has not received corresponding nutritional supplies, which is why it looks pitiful and thin.

He reached out and pressed it on his heart, where there was a restriction that controlled his life.

There is a talisman that is integrated with the skin. In order to let these mice clearly understand the fact that they are controlled by others, Mizuji Rizo took great pains to activate the power of the talisman on each of the mice, making them feel like While the knife was twisting, he completely gave up the idea of ​​​​escape.

It was not just a simple technique, but a cumbersome surgical method was used to connect the physical charm to the chakra meridian at the heart of the mouse.

In addition to the fact that the caster himself can actively cause their heart failure to die, the restriction also acts as a time bomb.

The spell will continue to absorb a tiny bit of chakra from the mice's bodies, and it will continue to accumulate. When it reaches the set threshold and continues to absorb chakra, it will self-destruct, and the chakra meridians connected to it will also die.

Li Zhen and the others were given a time limit of three months. If this time was exceeded, the whole family would commit suicide.

In addition to unknown spells, the way to remove it also requires manual surgery, as careful as defusing a bomb to remove the charm without damaging the chakra meridians. After all, the other party had no intention of such a troublesome setting for this group of people from the beginning. The mouse completely lifted the spell.

Li Zhen rubbed the talisman on his chest with his hand. The chakra he had accumulated for three months could clearly be felt to have been emptied. Was the talisman temporarily released while he was losing consciousness?

Although I thought it would be okay even if I killed myself, I was relieved after learning that my life was saved.

"Next..."

What should I do?

-

"Next..."

The white-haired old man groaned, put down the scroll in his hand, and spoke to the empty front.

"...I'll leave it to you."

No need to respond, a dozen figures in black clothes and white masks half-knelt upside down on the ceiling.

Following that order, the ninjas who had hidden their identities disappeared from the room.

How depraved it is for a samurai to seek help from a ninja... This is probably what my younger self would have thought.

"Lord Chonghui, the manpower has been gathered."

"I see."

In response to the report from the subordinate outside the door, the white-haired old man stood up from the desk where he was half-lying, showing a burly body that ordinary [-]-year-olds would not have.

Shigeki, who was wearing a white yukata, looked down from the castle tower. He saw a few hundred people half-kneeling quietly on the martial arts field. They were wearing armor and had white turbans tied on their heads to identify themselves.

That's all. These are the only people who are willing to follow you and have the same goals as you.

It is impossible to say that I am not disappointed, but more importantly, I am sincerely grateful to these people who believe in me.

With the help of his retainer, he put on his armor and reached out to hold the beloved sword Kurosawa handed over to him. The kind-faced old man thanked the retainer softly, and jumped down from the castle tower amidst the latter's exclamations.

Too high for this location.

The distance between himself and the warriors should not be a top-down view. He has been one of them from the beginning and has never changed.

This country needs to change. The Iron Kingdom, which has been eroded by parasites called nobles, will be reborn tonight. For this, Chonghui will not hesitate to sacrifice his soul to the devil.

Greed has no limits, and the self that repeatedly makes concessions for the sake of peace is the culprit that makes these parasites worse.

Countless people who fled to the capital told of the atrocities committed by the samurai on the border. Otherwise, Chonghui would still not be able to make up his mind.

...No, that's not the case.

When the warriors sent to fight against the rain ninjas were all from the noble faction, Chonghui had foreseen this scene. Although the nobles were preparing to throw the blame to him under the banner of Chonghui, Chonghui had already planted insiders among the people and would Public opinion turned against the nobles.Although the truth is that the atrocities committed by the nobles, the people who are not informed can easily follow the crowd and be deceived by lies, forcing people who sincerely do their best to death. Chonghui has seen this kind of stupid behavior countless times.

Chonghui had already foreseen this scene.

They even deliberately relaxed their defenses to allow the Rain Ninjas to invade. If they could attack the capital, Chonghui could take advantage of the chaos and kill all the nobles... This was originally the script, but for some reason the Yu Ninjas retreated.

Things are fickle. Sure enough, everything can't go as one wishes, but it doesn't matter. Chonghui has already made preparations for the second and third steps. Even if the rain ninja fails to invade the capital, he will negotiate with Danzo in Konoha to borrow money. The ninjas who came just pretended to be rain ninjas.

It is impossible to change all this through peaceful means. Chonghui, who is over eighty years old and has tried countless methods, understands this. Therefore, even if the rumored ninja demigod of Rain Ninja destroys this country, it doesn't matter. Completely destroy everything that is old, rotten, and hateful, and rebuild new hope on top of the ruins.

Many people will die for this, and many innocent people will be involved.

This may be wrong, it may be a stubborn old man going crazy.

Looking at the few or hundreds of supporters in front of us, we can understand that there are more people who do not agree with Chonghui's idea.

They want to be content with the status quo. They have received money, power, and beauty from the noble lords. Their families are happy. What does the life and death of the people on the border have to do with me?None of this is my fault.

Even Chonghui's closest disciples, family members, and friends were corrupted by desire, abandoned him, and stabbed him in the back.

The nobles only need to feed this small group of people, and then they can rule the vast majority of ignorant people.

They betrayed their own class!

Chonghui fell on the martial arts field, and hundreds of eyes focused on him, as if they wanted to see through the old man and find out his true intentions and consciousness.

Ling Ran was fearless, Chonghui walked forward with his head held high and his chest full of heroism.

People will change. Even if they succeed tonight, they will only change from nobles to a group of rulers called samurai. When greed ignites in the heart at some point in the future, more people will inevitably be succumbed to the whirlpool of desire. It is swallowed up over and over again, endlessly.

But, that’s okay.

I would like to be a pioneer, cut off the corruption, and leave it to future generations to uphold good intentions and love the world.

Without the long and passionate mobilization and encouragement before the war, the old man just kicked open the door and shouted loudly from the lead.

"Come with me."

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

Abandoning the name of Sword Master, tonight I transform into a demon of swords.
