Hokage: I and the Kami

After Masaaki Shimizu left, Bai Nan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hands to rub his temples. He had been staring at the map and thinking intensively throughout noon, which brought a lot of fatigue to his brain.

That is, after taking some time off, Bai Nan noticed a little girl next to Masako Shimizu. She looked seven or eight years old. Her black hair was slightly long, covering her eyes, and she looked a little gloomy. She had always been expressionless, and she had been expressionless since just now. She has been silent from the beginning until now. This must be Masako Shimizu's sister, and her presence seems a bit low.

"Hello everyone, it's my fault that I didn't greet you properly just now. I'm sorry. Let me introduce myself now. My name is Shimizu Bainan. Please give me your advice in the future."

Bai Nan knew very well that the child who could be sent by Shimizu Masaaki to evacuate with him must be a very important person in the clan. Either there is someone behind his back, or he is extremely talented. Anyway, he will inevitably have to deal with it in the future, so there is no harm in getting to know him in advance. .

Masako Shimizu bowed slightly this time to show respect.

"Hello, young master, I want to apologize to you. At first, I thought you were looking at the map just to escape. But now it seems that I was too stupid. I'm really sorry."

Bai Nan was a little at a loss by this very formal apology. Why did I apologize and you also apologized, and you were still so formal? Helpless, he had no choice but to drop the topic casually.

Qingshui Masako stared at the young master in front of her. She wanted to continue to say thank you, but after the young master changed the subject, she didn't know how to speak. She was really not good at talking to people, especially strangers. people.

At this moment, breathing and breathing were so natural. It was obvious that not long ago, she was almost unable to breathe due to the suppressed situation, but all this was solved by a few words from the young master in front of her.

He solved the situation so easily that he was completely powerless.

'That's awesome. '

Bai Nan looked at the sister next to Masako Shimizu. He had just talked to Masako Shimizu, but the little girl still remained silent, as if she didn't exist.

"Hello, I remember your sister introduced you to me. Your name is Shimizu Yako, right?"

Bai Nan tried to say hello to her.

But the little girl took two steps back, her fear was very obvious, and she stammered.

"I...I...are...yes..."

Bai Nan's smile faltered slightly, and he frowned but quickly relaxed. He was not dissatisfied, but aware of a possible situation.

Masako Shimizu subconsciously took a step forward to protect her, but quickly realized something was wrong and withdrew, "Young Master, my sister is a little... afraid of strangers. Please forgive me."

"Shy?"

Bai Nan fell silent. He looked at Shimizu Yako's eyes covered by her hair, and then asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Has your sister been on the battlefield?"

Masako Shimizu didn't understand why she suddenly asked this question, but she still answered honestly.

"I have been. She is already eight years old. She started going to the battlefield when she was six years old. Although she went to the battlefield a little late, she has killed many children of the same age from rival families. Young Master, my sister is very good. She is also very good. Please don’t dislike her.”

Bai Nan was stunned. Six years old... He knew that children had to go to the battlefield during the Warring States Period, but when the facts were put in front of him, he really couldn't accept it. If he went to the battlefield at the age of six, it would be called Late, then when should the others go to the battlefield?

If such young children go to the battlefield, how many of them will come back alive?Isn't this personally ruining the family's future? !

Shimizu Yiko's hair covered her eyes, but did not cover her cheeks. You can clearly see that there is still a little baby fat on her face. Her lower lip is bitten tightly by her white teeth. Her whole body is trembling slightly, and her little hands are Holding Masako Shimizu's clothes tightly, she took a deep breath and took a step forward with her trembling legs. She seemed to have summoned the greatest courage in her life.

"Brother, young master, I also heard the conversation just now. I know that you are a very powerful person, a big shot far more powerful than Mizi, so... Mizi will definitely protect you. You can ...Phase... Believe in Mizi, Mizi will not hurt you, and Mizi will not let others hurt you before Mizi dies.

You can hit Mizi and scold Mizi, but Mizi will not run away, but please... never... never chase Mizi away. Everyone in the clan says that you can't complete the task. Ninjas are useless. Yako has worked very hard to become stronger. Yako doesn't want to become a useless ninja. "

After saying that, she lowered her head, covered her face with a shadow, and stood quietly in front of Bai Nan, as if she was waiting for Bai Nan's decision, but she was afraid of a bad ending. Her little body couldn't stop trembling.

Bai Nan knelt down and stretched out his hand, wanting to hug her. However, she shivered even more violently. Bai Nan immediately stopped and spoke softly.

"Can I hug you? Yako."

"You...don't you want to hit Mizi?"

Faced with this sentence, Bai Nan was silent for a long time, and then laughed. He knew, he understood, and there was one more reason for him to become the patriarch. There were some things that he had to change, which might bring a lot of harm and suffer. He received a lot of condemnation, but it was not enough to stop him, because he only had one reason for wanting to change everything - I am happy!

"Of course not, I just want to hug Yako."

With that said, this time, without waiting for Mi Zi to speak, Bai Nan hugged her directly. The reason why he did this was just to say a word to the two people beside him.

"As the fourth son of the clan leader, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for standing up to protect the family at such a young age. You have worked hard along the way. I will be here for the rest of the journey. I can't change many things now. It’s a big deal, but at least it should allow you to take a break behind me.”

He was certain that the girl named Shimizu Yako in front of him must have suffered from some degree of mental illness. She had lived in a repressive environment for a long time. She had lost the right to feel happy and was only left with the obligation to fight for her family.

At this moment, faint cheers came from outside.

"Fourth Young Master!!!"

"I knew the Fourth Young Master was here!"

"Thanks to the Fourth Young Master, now we don't have to abandon our clan members and leave."

"The people of the Xizhu family can only play these little tricks, and they will be seen through at a glance in front of our four young masters!"

Masaaki Shimizu stopped the tribe's evacuation plan and informed the tribe of the cause and consequences, and thus, the scene before him happened.

Outside the house, Chimizu Chisa listened to the cheers that kept coming from her ears, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

'Behold, the seed has broken through the earth, and the tender sprout has been revealed. '

That young man single-handedly swept away the dark clouds above his family.

Riding on the cheers, Qingmizu Qianzuo walked into the clan leader's house.

......

Shimizu Masaaki handed the letter in his hand to the ninja who was responsible for delivering the message. Listening to the cheers in the distance, the young man flashed through his mind again. His eyes were so firm, looking straight at him without moving even half an inch. Say, 'In the name of Shimizu Bainan, I order you to implement my decision.'

Qingshui Zong patted Qingshui Masaaki on the shoulder.

"Zhengming, what are you doing? The letter has been sent out. There should be no danger on the front line. Next, there are many things waiting for us in the clan."

"It's nothing, Zongzhong, I just think it's a bit dazzling."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean, that young master is a bit dazzling. Okay, let's go. Aren't there still many things waiting for us?"

Munezhong watched as he left Masaaki Shimizu one step ahead of him, touched his empty right arm, and followed, leaving only a small sound in place.

"Dazzling...Nobushige, did you hear...your efforts are not in vain."

......

Patriarch's house.

Shimizu Yako's cheek rested on Bai Nan's chest, it was so warm. She hadn't felt this warmth for an unknown amount of time. She trained day after day, eating, training, fighting, and sleeping. This was her entire life.How long has it been since you were hugged?She shouldn't have time to do such meaningless things. Her power belongs to the family. She should make good use of every minute and second to become stronger. But, just a few seconds, let me stay for a few more Seconds. .biqugé

"Yiko, please don't cover your eyes with your hair again, okay?"

When the young man's voice came, Mizi felt so warm and subconsciously wanted to agree, but she quickly came to her senses.

"No, if Yako covers her eyes, she will feel at ease. If Yako is not at ease, she may lose control and hurt the people around her."

Bai Nan looked up at Masako Qingshui, but Masako Qingshui avoided Bai Nan's eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"We will find a way to restrain it, young master, you don't have to worry. If things cannot be done, we will leave voluntarily."

Bai Nan was shocked. Will they really lose control and hurt the people around them?What's happening here?

After thinking about it carefully, Bai Nan thought that it was probably because they had lived in a depressing environment for a long time. Training, wars, and missions were boring and unchanging, so they could only suppress their feelings all the time, and they were under too much pressure. It may have distorted their young minds to a certain extent, and when the emotions are overwhelming and unable to be suppressed, the accumulated emotions explode, coupled with the distorted minds, leading to out-of-control consequences.

This is probably the real reason.

And Yako's behavior of covering her eyes is to ease this process. It can be clearly seen that Yako has been forced by the environment to become a somewhat autistic girl, and for someone like her, dealing with strangers is just a matter of time. It will increase her stress, cover her eyes, try not to look at strangers, and create a "pseudo-alone" environment, which can reduce her stress and prevent her from losing control to a certain extent.

She covered her eyes to protect others, not herself. For a person who needs to go to the battlefield, having her vision affected is a great disadvantage, but she still did it. Perhaps, in her opinion, "losing control" ” is even more unacceptable than “death.”

"Okay, then Yako will make a promise with me. If Yako doesn't lose control in the future, she will show her eyes. How about that?"

"Hmm...Okay, Mizi listens to the young master's brother."

Bai Nan let go of Mi Zi. He didn't want to force Mi Zi, and he wouldn't do that. Mental illness is difficult to cure in an instant. The future is still long, so just take your time.

However, the situation of Yako and Masako also made Bai Nan realize that the ninja family's behavior of sending children to the battlefield can indeed gain a good power in a short period of time, but in the long run, this behavior is simply troublesome. This system must be changed!

"Dong dong."

While I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.

"come in."

As Bai Nan finished speaking, Chimizu Chisa opened the door, walked in, glanced at Yako and Masako, and then turned his attention to Bai Nan.

"Young Master, I have understood what you and Zhengming said. However, Young Master, you have to know that although your speculation is reasonable, the fact is that you have no evidence. If the 40 people in the east are really Xizhu What about the people in our family? Young Master, my question may be a little overwhelming, but we cannot put the lives of our people on the gambling table."

"Then Grandpa Chisa, what do you think?"

"Young Master, you are joking. Although I came here to embarrass you this time, I am convinced of your speculation. I agree with your decision, young master, but again, we cannot put our clansmen under the influence of others." My life is on the gambling table, so I shamelessly come to embarrass the young master to see if the young master can help the clan members to plan more carefully."

Bai Nan smiled slightly. He understood that this Grandpa Qianzuo was just joking. He was just too concerned about his family and wanted to make the plan as thorough as possible, so he hurried to find Bai Nan. After discussion, if a solution is found, all the credit will be given to Bai Nan.

Because Elder Qianzuo said from the beginning that he came to "embarrass" Bai Nan and was a proper "bad guy", so such things as merit must belong to the "good guys".

This elder Qian Zuo really wants to push Bai Nan to the position of clan leader at this moment.

Bai Nan put his hand on the map and moved to where Rokujo's family was.

"Grandpa Chisa, if the 40 people outside are really ninjas from the Nishiki family, then I have something to do. Later, I will go to the Rokujo family for help. The Rokujo family is close to our Qingshui clan. If a few people go all out, it will be about You can make the trip back and forth in one day, so you can make it in time.”

"No!"

"no!"

"No!"

Just as Bai Nan finished speaking, there were three vetoes in an instant. Even Mizi, who was silent, rarely spoke up. Bai Nan was stunned for a while, looking at Masako, Mizi, and Elder Chisa. Group, I don’t know what it means.

Chisa glanced at Masako and Yako again. He was also a little surprised. What was going on with these two people?However, regardless of thinking about this, Elder Qianzuo slapped the table and said extremely forcefully.

"No matter what the plan is, the young master cannot put himself in danger! Even if the young master has to ask for help from the Rokujo family, how can the young master go in person? The Rokujo family are not good people! We have also considered asking for help from the Rokujo family, but we There is nothing in hand that can persuade the Rokujo family to take action, except for the territory, but the territory must not be touched. If some members of the clan die, they can still reproduce. Once the territory is gone, the population of the entire family will be restricted."
