Naruto: The Legend of Mortal Bone Ninja

The country has been crying.

The problem of cultivated land caused by perennial heavy rains makes the people of the Rain Country unable to eat enough, and the war between the neighboring countries makes it even worse.

Even if it builds a hidden village that is not inferior to any big country, even if it trains ninjas that are better than any big country under brutal training, this country still cannot win in the end.

This cannot be rewritten simply by how strong the head of the hidden village is. In the war between countries, individual bravery has its limit after all. Competition between populations and competition between economies.The kind of thing where one person alone can beat up the multinational ninja coalition until they cry for their fathers and mothers, it's not like the plot of the comic is too broken and can't be stopped.

But the uninformed people of the Country of Rain regard the leader of the Rain Hidden Village who provoked the war as a hero, worshiping him like a god, for a war that is destined to be unsuccessful.

If the truth were known, there would be people who would resent Hanzo. Compared to the number of people who formed ninja villages and fought to the death to resist the enemy, the number of people who trembled and hid in their homes and died due to the effects of the Great Power War was much smaller.Even if Hanzo does not initiate a war, the Rain Country will still be implicated in the war between major powers and become a broken battlefield.However, compared to the vicious outsiders, it has always been human nature to be arrogant and arrogant to one's own people.

Lord Hanzo is the hero of the Land of Rain, a boy with orange hair. No, most children in this country think so.

Standing up to fight against the ninjas of other countries who had ravaged their homeland several times, Hanzo-sama, who established the Ninja Village and became world-famous compared to the incompetent Damingfu, allowed this country to have human rights.

Yahiko hates this country where it rains all the time. He hates this country of rain, which is called the country of cowards by others. It was Hanzo-sama who used the sickle to tell the world that the men of the country of rain are not cowards.

Yahiko once had the honor to see Master Hanzo telling everyone about his dream. It was not about personal gain or loss, or the grievances of a village or even a country, but to escape from these and fight for a more noble purpose, for peace. , he also took action.

Yahiko knew the meaning of the word peace, but he had never had such a thing since he was born. However, this did not prevent him from feeling yearning and warmth in his heart when he heard that word.

That is the existence that young people long for.

"Please, uncle."

"No, get out of here."

"I haven't eaten for four days..."

"In the way, don't stand in front of my stall!"

The orange-haired boy begged the fruit stall owner, but the latter showed no mercy.

There is no way around it. People's hearts are full of flesh. Watching the poor children starving will eventually make you feel touched inside. But after the first time you lend a helping hand, there will be a second one, a third one, and so on. Countless children look at you with pitiful and expectant looks. As a father, the stall owner must make a choice whether to starve these children to death or to starve to death his own children who are waiting to be fed.

Yahiko attracted the attention of the stall owner. Behind the stall owner, three short companions approached quietly. They took out the sack and struggled to stuff the fruits inside.

"Ah! You little bastards!"

The sound of the fruit being moved startled the stall owner, and he saw the three little bastards. The two of them either resisted each other or ran away with the stolen goods in their mouths. The stall owner, who realized that he had been tricked, chased after two steps. Looking back, the orange-haired little bastard has long since disappeared. Where is the shadow of the pitiful figure who looked like he was too hungry to walk?

There is still a noble fire burning in the heart of the young Yahiko that he is not quite clear about, but the noble cannot be eaten as food, and only by doing despicable things can he survive in this bad world.

"Xiao Nan!"

"Ok!"

"Nagato!"

"Yes!"

"little guy!"

"Wang!"

"Run away!"

The running little ghosts flexibly avoided pedestrians and other stalls. Although the merchants usually wanted to hire ninjas to kill their competitors, now they were happy to see their opponents suffer, but they had to follow rules when doing business here.Today he was stolen by this group of brats, and tomorrow it might be my turn. No one in business likes customers who don’t pay, and thieves and gangsters like the government are the most annoying. In the face of interests in this area, everyone is unanimous. of.

What Yahiko and the others hate most is when a passerby takes a rat out of a dog and acts bravely. That means that not only will the three of them and the dog be severely beaten by the businessman who caught them, but they will also be hungry for several days.

In this terrible country where it rains all year round and never sees the sun, the few things that make Yahiko and other kiddies happy are the sense of accomplishment after a successful theft and the sense of satisfaction as long as they can fill their stomachs.

This little happiness.

What they did was wrong, Yahiko and the others knew this, and they didn't do it because they liked it.This country, which has been torn apart by countless wars in the past, has no welfare facilities to adopt war orphans. If you don't do so, you will die.

Fortunately for Yahiko, he was not alone.

Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, and the little one are like his family, even the appearance of his parents has been forgotten in the day-to-day hardship.

As long as they are around, Yahiko will not feel lonely and will have the courage and motivation to live.

It wasn't until they arrived at the secret base together that Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two people and the dog safe.

"This is a big harvest. If you save some food with the food stored in the base, you can probably last for more than half a month, right?"

"...Yes...the little one...worked very hard too."

"Hahaha, that's right! Nagato is right. It's thanks to the little one that he scared the uncle this time, otherwise he would have been caught."

"Wang!"

After hearing his name, the little yellow dog happily ran to Yahiko and rubbed his legs. The group of people walked deeper into the cave where they were hiding, talking and laughing.

The dim fire coming from the corner of the cave made Yahiko stop. He made a gesture of silence and his face darkened.

The oil lamp used for lighting was indeed turned off when they left, but they did not have the luxury of leaving it on.

"Maybe someone has come in. You guys wait for me here, Nagato. If there is any danger, take Konan and Xiao Dot and run away first."

"Yahiko..."

"Be careful, Yahiko."

Unlike the somewhat unreliable red-haired timid Nagato, the younger girl Konan cheered up and responded seriously.

Nodding, Yahiko tiptoed over. To be honest, in this dangerous world, no one can beat children like them. Yahiko now only prays that the intruder has gone. If there is anyone inside, they will This shelter had to be given up.

The rude movement of chewing food made Yahiko's prayers in vain. However, when he saw the gray-haired boy who was not much older than himself, Yahiko's mood fluctuated greatly and he couldn't help but feel endless anger.

It was food that the three of them had stolen through great hardships. They usually lived frugally just to last one more day, but now a stranger was chewing it without restraint, and the food crumbs were scattered all over the floor.

"Hey, who are you? That's our food. If you want to eat it, you have to ask us first, right?"

Yahiko walked towards the gray-haired boy openly and rolled up his sleeves angrily. In this country, war orphans are not uncommon. Whether they were used by others to join a group of thieves or formed their own small gangs to divide the territory, Yahiko had seen them all. Know that these guys are not good people.

The gray-haired boy with a sallow face, skinny muscles and ragged clothes almost had the word "miserable" carved on his face. He turned a deaf ear to Yahiko's words and sat on the wooden box, lowering his head and chewing on the dried meat.

"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

If it was a child like Nagato, Yahiko would certainly give the food to him even if he was angry, but the bad guy in front of him who ate their food without any apology was unforgivable!

Yahiko put his hand on the gray-haired boy's shoulder, not because he wanted to hit him, but because he wanted to make him face his words.

However, a dirty hand caught Yahiko's wrist faster. Yahiko's eyes suddenly turned upside down. His body was flying in the air as if it was weightless. He was thrown away by the thin kid and fell to the ground with a cry. lament.

If Yahiko and the others were thieves, this gray-haired boy was an unreasonable robber.

He stood up and walked towards Yahiko, who was in severe pain and couldn't get up for a while.

"Yahiko!"

The anxious shout did not heed Yahiko's previous words to let him escape. The red-haired boy resolutely stood in front of his companion and opened his arms. Even though his whole body was shaking with fear, he had no intention of giving in.

The gray-haired robber stopped in front of the red-haired thief and looked into his eyes.

"your eyes……"

"...It's disgusting."
