Hiding enemy ninjas at home during wartime is a serious crime no less than treason.

Although Harry is working for Konoha, the most fundamental purpose is to protect Ichiga and Lin. In fact, there is no sense of loyalty and mission in his heart that he must die for Konoha. As long as Scorpio is sensible enough, he will not attack him He doesn't mind raising Xie as the little boy next door who was full of "Mr. Sa" back then.

Yihe didn't have Harry's open-mindedness. Even if he agreed not to tell the story, the main purpose was to protect Harry from court-martial.

He has always held a hostile attitude towards the contained scorpions, not only insisting on welding iron windows and iron doors to the room where scorpions live temporarily, and putting up big locks, but also carrying weapons with him wherever he goes, making sure that if there is any trouble , the throat can be cut within three seconds, completely eliminating future troubles.

Naturally, Xie couldn't bear the sense of crisis that his life was in other people's hands at any time, so when his arm bones healed a bit, he tore down the bed board overnight and made a crude wooden figure out—yes, it was a wooden figure, a puppet master His self-esteem would not allow him to call such a rough and ugly thing a puppet.

The next morning, he squatted quietly behind the door, holding the chakra line with his fingers, and paid close attention to the sound of the door being unlocked.He has rehearsed countless times in his mind: as long as that Hinata who always wants to kill him opens the door, the sharp wooden thorns on the wooden man's forelegs will instantly pierce the opponent's neck...

Unfortunately, it was Harry who delivered the meal today.

As soon as Scorpion put down his hand in disappointment, Harry frowned, pulled out his wand, and used the Restoring Charm to restore the messy bed board.

The young puppet master who lost the result of a night's battle in a second: ...? !

Scorpion's hand hadn't fully recovered yet, and the wooden dummy he made was too abstract. Harry didn't know that he had avoided a fight by accident, and he only thought that Scorpion was trying to escape the room.

He put down the dinner plate and said to Xie: "I didn't intend to rape you. I locked you up because I was afraid that you would run around and cause death and trouble for me. When you recover from your injuries, you can leave whenever you want. "

Scorpion used the chakra thread to drag the dinner plate to him, pretending to be calm and said: "You...you don't want to hurt me, and I don't mean to hurt you, but there are others who don't think so."

"Yihe?" Harry didn't take it seriously, "If you think too much, he's just a bit fierce, and there's no malicious intent."

His filter for Yihe was ten meters thick, and Xie didn't expect to be able to persuade him, so he asked cryptically along the way: "What about others? Usually he comes to deliver meals."

This concern came too abnormally, and it immediately aroused Harry's vigilance.

He frowned again, and his tone dropped sharply: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. I'll tell you in advance that both of them are my bottom line. If you hit their ideas, I will turn my face."

On the surface, Harry was angry, but in fact, he had a premeditated temptation to turn against customers—he was not a fool, and the matter of someone secretly taking pictures of Lin and sending him a threatening letter has not been followed, and Sha Yin is still a suspect. Among other things, under this premise, it is hard not to arouse suspicion when Sand Yin's ninja (who also happened to be the Scorpion he knew) was injured and appeared in his yard.

To his surprise, Xie was taken aback for a moment, and asked blankly, "What them?... Who else is there besides him?"

The reaction was very real, without deliberation, not like a play.

Harry still didn't dare to take it lightly, staring at Scorpion's face, observing all the subtle changes in expression, and even used the staffless and silent Legilimency.

At the same time, he said, "He, and my daughter."

Xie opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "You still have a daughter?"

The result of Legilimency also showed that he didn't know anything about Lin.

——In this way, the appearance of Scorpion's injury is just a pure coincidence, instead of sneaking into Konoha, lurking to the nearest place, and preparing to attack Lin?

Harry thought to himself, and decided to suspend the matter first, and look for opportunities later to try a few more rounds from other aspects and angles.

Within two days, Lin returned from a mission outside the village.

Because Kakashi was promoted to Special Jonin, Rin and Obito were also admitted to Chunin, and each is an independent talent who can be used as a combat force. In order to make the best use of people, the original Minato squad no longer forms a small team together. action.

Mentor Minato ran back and forth between Yanyin and Yunyin front lines, Kakashi alone performed some spying and assassination tasks that required concealment, Lin was incorporated into the medical ninja backup team, and Obito was like a brick that needed to be moved wherever.

Lin also left the village with the team to support the front line this time. She went there for two months. When she came back, she was full of travel and dust, but she was in good spirits, looking tired but satisfied.

She and her father touched each other's cheeks, talked about what they had seen and heard these days, and sighed from the bottom of their hearts: "Thanks to Tsunade-sama's foresight, he opened a medical ninja training class in advance, and the death rate of our Konoha wounded is higher than that of the enemy. It’s much lower, and the enemies are jealous. I heard that in recent days, other ninja villages have also tried to follow our example, but there’s no time to hold on!”

Harry listened with a smile, held his daughter's hand, and walked home from the entrance of the village together.

When she opened the door and saw a stranger sitting in the corridor, Lin took a step back and reflexively touched the ninja bag behind her waist.

Scorpion also stood up and leaned back against the pillar.

His other injuries have almost healed, only the bones in his arm have not fully grown, and he is splinted and hung on his chest with a triangular bandage.

Receiving Harry's warning gaze, he barely suppressed the urge to attack, nodded towards Lin, and introduced himself stiffly: "Hello, I'm Sa...Mr. Hui's distant cousin, Chisha."

Lin breathed a sigh of relief, put the Kunai back in its original place, and cast a reproachful look at her father: "Dad, there are relatives visiting at home, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Turning her face away, she smiled again: "Hello, uh...cousin? I'm Papa's daughter, you can call me Arlene."

The classification of Ninja Village is not directly engraved on the face. Scorpio is a handsome young man on the outside. The sand hidden forehead was put away by Harry during the first day of treatment. At the moment, he is wearing Harry's old clothes. Any identifiable marker, so Harry said he was an infrequent distant relative, a nomad ninja with no faction who was staying temporarily due to an injury, and Lynn didn't suspect him.

After introducing herself, Lin looked at Xie's arm hanging on her chest, and said worriedly: "Cousin, your hand is injured? I'm a medical ninja, may I help you take a look?"

Before she rushed forward to force a doctor's visit, Harry held her back: "It's okay, a small injury, I've dealt with it, you go back to your room and rest."

When Lin walked back to his room with three steps, Harry asked intentionally or unintentionally: "How is it, is she a cute little girl?"

He looked at Xie's downcast eyes in thought—all he read in Legilimency was Lin's smiling face standing at the gate of the courtyard, and there were no other pictures, which meant that it was indeed the first time he saw that side—then said: "Yes. "

Xie paused, and then said: "Why did you let her become a medical ninja? This world is too dangerous, the flames of war are spreading everywhere, and a medical ninja with insufficient strength...is really hard to survive."

Harry shrugged helplessly: "If I had to choose, I wouldn't even let her be a ninja. But there is no way, her ambition is here, I can only respect her choice."

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere fell silent.

Harry thought: Scorpion didn't know about Lin's existence before, which means that Scorpion's grandma Chiyo didn't mention it to Scorpion.Chiyo is a high-ranking member of Hidden Sand Village. He should understand the whole process of his defection from Hidden Sand Village. He didn't think about attacking his daughter. Did he not link the missing Renzhuli experimental body with Lin?Or did he keep his intelligence secret well enough that he didn't know he had a daughter?

However, no matter what the possibility is, in the matter of the threatening letter, Sa Yin's suspicion is very small.

The last bit of suspicion also fell on the supreme ruler, Sandaime Kazekage.He remembered that the third generation of Kazekage was a man with deep scheming and hidden secrets. As the head of the village, it was easy to do something behind the back of the high-level Chiyo.

Still the same sentence, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

The scorpion on the other side is also thinking.

Harry's statement of "respecting his daughter's choice" triggered his memory, and he remembered that when he was very young, this person also said something similar to him——

"Scorpio, remember, no matter what happens, you must first protect yourself under any circumstances. Your life is still very long, and things that you don't understand now will one day be clear to you. You have to grow up and do what you want to do protect the people you want to protect, and become what you want to be.”

For a long time after Mr. Sa defected and his parents passed away, he felt very lonely and doubted the meaning of life every day. Part of the reason he was able to persist until now was to avenge his parents, and the other part was because of the sentence " What you can’t understand will one day be clear to you.”

To this day, he still hasn't been able to figure it out, so he gave up thinking on his own and asked directly: "Mr. Sa, back then...why did you defect from the village?"

He imagined many kinds of answers, such as "Why? If you don't want to do it, you should defect!", or "Chiyo and Sandaime Kazukage are staring at me like thieves. Who wants to stay in a place where there is no sense of trust?" ?”…

But I didn't expect to hear such an answer——

Harry took a breath, lay down on his back, pillowed his arms, and assumed a comfortable and comfortable posture: "Oh, that? Probably because... Sand Yin is a village, not a home."

The scorpion's pupils tightened.

All of a sudden, years of loneliness and misery swept over him. Those moments of dreaming back at midnight, those lonely journeys, those self-doubts and self-denials all rushed into his heart.

Some of him wanted to laugh, and some wanted to cry.Laughing at how lightly the answer I was looking for is so light, crying how important that simple word is.

"Family..." Xie said, "I used to have a family, but I lost it when I was five years old."

He gritted his teeth, with bitter hatred in his eyes: "And I can't take revenge yet! 'Konoha White Fang'—the person who killed my father and mother is dead!"

Harry looked sideways at the red-haired boy, thinking of Scorpion's mother, the long-haired gentle "Little Rabbit Sister" Chiho Ri, and thinking of other dead people in "Zodiac", he said calmly and even coldly: "It wasn't White Fang that killed your parents, it was war."

Scorpion opened his mouth, speechless.

"The third Kazekage is a war maniac." Harry carefully analyzed, "During the Second War, Sagakure could have not participated in the war, but he took the initiative to provoke the war under the pretext that the second Kazekage was killed, trying to gain benefits. It was the same in the second war—the village was obviously in a predicament of insufficient funds, but he insisted on fighting again, and sent all the sand ninjas, including you, to fight desperately with insufficient supplies and backup. Think about it, if this continues, how many children will lose their parents, how many families will fall apart?"

"Besides, the death of your parents doesn't mean that you have no relatives. Your grandma Chiyo and that distant uncle--Luo Sha? Is that his name?--If you want, they can also become your family However, as long as the war continues, their lives are not guaranteed, and the murderers who killed them may be Konoha ninjas, rock hidden ninjas, fog hidden ninjas, and even cloud hidden ninjas. War is always so cruel."

After listening quietly, Xie nodded for a long time and said, "You are right."

He raised his head suddenly, squinted his eyes and looked at the distant sky, as if his eyes could travel thousands of miles, looking all the way back to the hidden sand village in the distant desert.

He said darkly, "It's all war... No, it's all the fault of the third Kazekage who started the war!"

After spending another ten days fully recovering from his injuries, Xie bid farewell to Harry and Lin, left Konoha and returned to Sand Yin alone.

Afterwards, Sand Yin continued to harass Konoha, but it didn't cause too much damage, and Harry was not in a hurry.

A dark mine has been planted, just wait for it to explode.

The lead wire was left a little long, and it was half a year later when it finally detonated.

Overnight, the third Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind disappeared mysteriously. At the same time, there was also a special jnin called the "Red Sand Scorpion" who was raised by the third Kazekage as his heir.

The village chief was gone, and the sand ninjas panicked, stopped the foreign war, called back all the soldiers and horses, and spent two or three months digging three feet in the desert to find someone.

It is a pity that no one is alive and no corpse is dead.

With Nidaime Kazekage's lessons learned, Sunakoshi once again doubted the crime, and pointed the finger at Konoha.

They paid all the price they could, and joined forces with Yanyin, Yunyin, and Wuyin to launch a general attack on Konoha's rear base camp.

Most of Konoha's troops were on the periphery, caught off guard by being stolen, and unable to return in time, the coalition forces pushed all the way to the door of the house.

Naruto III Hokage personally led the limited manpower in the village to meet the enemy, and fought a disastrous battle near the ruins of an ancient city called "Kikyo Castle" outside the Konoha wall, which is known in history as the Battle of Kikyo Mountain.
