Naruto Death Hero

Regarding Kurosaki Ichigo's affirmative answer, the woman did not show any anger.

After all, he is her savior, and she will not speak harshly to Kurosaki Ichigo no matter what.

At the same time, the woman also understood in her heart that there are no eternal allies between countries. Didn't Konoha and Kumogakure, who were originally known as the Iron Alliance, become indifferent because of the Great Ninja War?

After thinking for a moment, the woman smiled miserably: "Now we are the only one left in the Uzumaki clan in the Kingdom of Uzumaki, but you have seen the situation."

Kurosaki Ichigo frowned: "Is there no one else? Why did you all gather here?"

"We didn't expect the people from Kirigakure to arrive so quickly," the woman shook her head, "Originally our plan was to send the elderly and children out of the Country of Whirlpool first, and then those of us who still had the strength to resist would be divided into pieces and go to various places to continue. Those who resist are just..."

Kurosaki Ichigo also fell silent, and waited for a while before speaking again: "I will send you to a safe place first, and then I will go back to the village to see if there are any survivors."

The woman had no better choice, so she nodded and agreed to Kurosaki Ichigo's plan.

Kurosaki Ichigo was also unambiguous. He picked up the woman and her daughter and left in a flash.

Soon under the guidance of the woman, Kurosaki Ichigo found a secret cave in the dense forest behind the mountain.

According to the woman, this cave is small in area, so it is generally only used to store items, but it is more than enough to hide only a few people, so she and her dead husband thought of escaping here.

After Kurosaki Ichigo put down the woman, he immediately turned around and left, heading straight for the village where the Uzumaki clan originally lived.

When he came back, it was already several hours later, and the sky outside was getting dark.

Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo slowly walking into the cave, the woman sniffed and smelled a strong smell of blood.

"I have dealt with all the fog ninjas in the village." Kurosaki Ichigo noticed the look in the woman's eyes and whispered.

The woman didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

Once again, the atmosphere fell into awkward silence.

After a long time, it was Kurosaki Ichigo who took the initiative to speak: "Is your daughter... not awake yet?"

At this moment, Kushina was lying in the woman's arms, her little face looked very calm, as if she had not yet awakened from her sleep.

The woman shook her head: "I put a sealing technique on Kushina's body. She will not wake up until about ten hours later."

"Oh," Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, so he had to turn around. "You must be hungry. I'll get something to eat."

"No need," the woman said quickly, "there is still some food here, enough for us to eat."

Then after seeing Kurosaki Ichigo nodding and sitting down, the woman considered her words: "Looking at you...it seems like you are not an ordinary Konoha ninja."

"I'm from ANBU." Kurosaki Ichigo replied.

However, the woman smiled: "I'm afraid it would be difficult for an ordinary ANBU to deal with those Mist Ninjas in the village, not even Konoha's ANBU."

Kurosaki Ichigo was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Konoha is still at war, but it sent a powerful ninja like you to the country of whirlpool, and he is also looking for a child," the woman analyzed, "I have indeed heard that the jinchūriki of the tailed beasts are the most powerful. good..."

"If you continue," Kurosaki Ichigo interrupted her, "I will have to kill you."

Even though he won't actually do it, the necessary threats are still needed.

"You don't need to do anything," the woman said with a sad look on her face, "My husband is dead, so naturally I can't live alone."

Kurosaki Ichigo frowned: "What do you mean you want to die for your husband? What should your daughter do?"

"Didn't you say you were looking for a child of the Uzumaki clan to bring back to Konoha?"

"You mean, let me take your daughter back." Kurosaki Ichigo understood what the other party meant.

"Even among our Uzumaki clan," the woman looked at her daughter, her eyes full of love and affection, "Kushina is extremely powerful, and she will meet your requirements."

"Are you really willing to send your daughter to Konoha?" Now that the woman had guessed her purpose, Kurosaki Ichigo said less implicitly, "You should know what will happen to the Jinchuuriki, right?"

The light in the woman's eyes gradually dimmed. After all, which mother is willing to be separated from her child, especially after knowing that her child's fate may not be very good.

"My tribe and I have grown up in the Kingdom of Whirlpool since we were young. This is our home, so we will never leave here no matter what," the woman said after a long time, "But Kushina is still young, she can Have a better life instead of following us to destruction.”

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't know how to react, so he could only nodded silently.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Kurosaki Ichigo left with Kushina under the woman's farewell.

Watching Kurosaki Ichigo's figure gradually disappear, the woman first returned to the previous village.

At this time, the village was in a mess, a large number of houses collapsed, traces of blood could be seen everywhere, and there were still little flames that were not extinguished.

However, the corpses of the villagers, the Whirlpool clan members, and the Mist ninjas were missing. The woman searched around before finding the piles of corpses of the Mist ninjas in the woods outside the village.

And beside the corpse mountain, a mountain of earth rose up at some point. The body of the woman's long-dead husband was now placed intact in front of the mountain of earth.

The woman sat next to her husband's body and looked at him with a look in her eyes. She found that her husband's face was peaceful, as if he was asleep.

"Shotoyo," the woman reached out and touched her husband's cheek, with a gentle smile on her face, "I believe Kushina will spend a happy life in Konoha. What we have to do is to keep a good watch in the Pure Land. With our daughter..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman was shocked, and red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, but her expression did not change at all.

If you look carefully, you can see that the woman's right hand held a sharp blade and stabbed it fiercely into her heart.

Looking at her husband's face, the woman's consciousness gradually blurred until she fell on his body.

After the woman's breath and heartbeat disappeared, Kurosaki Ichigo's figure flashed in front of the two overlapping bodies.

Looking at the couple, Kurosaki Ichigo sighed, then dug a pit in the ground and buried them in it.

After doing all this, Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at Kushina, who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

Uzumaki Kushina is over four years old. Children of this age in the ninja world already have a sense of family and country. Therefore, if Konoha allows her to become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, she must cut off everything she once had with the Uzumaki Country. connect.

The woman obviously knew this, so she chose to commit suicide to pave a way for her child, even though it cost her life.

"War..." Kurosaki Ichigo touched Kushina's face with his finger, "I will end it."

"Someday"
