[Comprehensive] Thoughts will gather strength

The first ninja world war finally came to an end after each ninja village lost its kage-level leaders.

Although this is recorded in the history books, the war did not really stop immediately at that time. Apart from the lack of communication means, many secret missions were still going on because few people knew about it.

A small village was ruthlessly exterminated precisely because it accidentally learned the inside story of a mission, leaving no future troubles.

The parents of every household tried their best to protect their children. Naoki Shikano, who was less than five years old, was hidden by his parents in the basement. The small pit gave him the illusion that his breath was full of dust, and his frightened eyes opened wide. Trying to peek outside through the gaps in the planks.

There was a lot of noise outside, and the sound of messy footsteps staggered. Many people had no time to let out a final scream, and lost the opportunity to speak forever.

Naoki Shikano obeyed his parents' instructions, and tightly covered his mouth, so that the choked up in his throat.

Suddenly, there were two muffled sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Viscous blood seeped from the floor and flowed into the pit bit by bit. The barely audible sound of footsteps approached Naoki Shikano.

Shikano Naoki shrank back unconsciously, even with his back against the wall, he shrunk himself into a ball as much as possible.

Naoki Kano, who was extremely afraid of unknown enemies, almost screamed subconsciously. Fortunately, the hands covering his mouth did not let go, so the screaming stopped.

The sound of footsteps stayed above Naoki Kano, and the sound of the plank deforming under the weight could almost be heard.

Naoki Shikano took a deep breath, and looked out of the board hesitantly with his erratic eyes, and then he met the eyes of the people outside the pit, and at that moment, his panic reached the verge of collapse.

At the same time, a "meteorite" passed through space and passed here. Its appearance was a cyanotic diamond-shaped crystal, with mist of the same color floating on it, leaving the crystal as if attracted by Naoki Shikano, and flew into his head. Drilling into his mind, the cyanotic snake that almost occupied his entire mind was eroded first, the mist became solid, and then the mist circled around the mind for a few times before turning into a bloody mouth, swallowing the mind in one gulp, and the mist transformed It turns into a liquid state, and finally forms a mini diamond-shaped crystal at the original position of the soul. Other emotions that were originally floating in the soul also become the same color, and then gather on it.

And that meteorite fell into a forest. The moment it fell, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. Any creature that approached would be torn apart, and the land turned into fragments suspended in the air, surrounding the crystal in the center.

The people outside the pit were attracted by this change, and he was affected and could no longer cause any harm to Naoki Kano.

The small village was not near the meteorite, and the land was not fragmented, but none of the people on the surface survived.

"Shikano Naoki" opened his eyes slowly at this time, scanned the environment with his flat eyes, combined with his memory, he let go of his mind and stretched his hands and feet in the small pit like a boulder.

Now, this Kano Naoki is the Kano Naoki that Tokiko Moriyama knew.

After the crisis passed, Naoki Shikano realized that his current situation was not good. A large number of corpses would breed infectious diseases, and his own food source was also a big problem.

Naoki Kano was thinking about his itinerary with unusually mature thoughts, and his first task at the moment was to open the board on his head and see for himself what happened outside.

Naoki Shikano stepped forward with his short feet, stood on a higher mound, and pushed the wooden board away with all his strength with both hands.

Naoki Shikano lay down on the mound instead, propped up his body with his hands, and kicked the wooden board away.

The moment the board was opened, a cloud of dust poured into the pit, Naoki Shikano couldn't help coughing twice, and after taking a breath, he crawled out of the pit with hands and feet.

What came into view was a barren flat land, and the original small village was gone. Although Shikano Naoki couldn't see the crystal, he could see the broken land in the distance, surrounding the same central point.

The villagers and outsiders that should have existed, made a connection with the broken land in the distance, and thought of the dust when the wooden boards were just opened, um...it would be better not to delve into it.

Naoki Shikano wiped off the dust particles on his body, and walked to the nearest forest. The small village disappeared, and the food that was enough to feed the children for seven days at home was gone. It was time to find today's dinner.

Naoki Kano used his memory to follow the way of the hunter's father, followed the trail, found the hare's cave on the ground, followed the vines to find other exits, and put the found exit in a trap. A fire was lit at one of the exits, and a large amount of smoke was blown into the cave, and the hares living in it escaped in all directions.

After Kano Naoki stepped on the flames, he went to check the traps. Except for a few who were knocked down, he caught two hares.

Naoki Shikano picked up the rabbit and imitated the way his father remembered to pinch its neck, and the other one did the same.

Naoki Kano picked up a smaller stone and tapped the edge of a stone the size of an adult's palm, and then tied wooden strips with young vines to make a simple knife to deal with the rabbit with difficulty.

When Shikano Naoki cut out a complete rabbit skin, internal organs and several parts of rabbit meat, he was already sweating profusely, and his physical strength was so low that he couldn't handle two rabbits in a row, so he skewered the rabbit meat on a long and thin strip. On the branch of the tree, put it over the fire that has already been lit.The internal organs are buried in a deep pit, and when another internal organ is buried, it will be filled with soil to avoid predators.

When the rabbit meat was just cooked, Naoki Shikano, who was hungry, didn't care whether there was any seasoning, and swallowed it after chewing two or three bites.

Naoki Kano, who was full of half of the rabbits, continued to deal with the remaining rabbit. With the experience of the first rabbit, although the strength is still not enough, the speed is obviously fast Too much, Naoki Shikano used smoke to process another portion of rabbit meat. He didn’t have any seasoning to marinate the meat. In his memory, his father used this method to make the meat last longer.

While the rabbit meat was being smoked, Naoki Shikano had already buried the internal organs, and weaved a straw bag to hold the rabbit meat in the same way as his mother who usually hugged and lulled him to sleep.

Naoki Shikano came to the river with two pieces of rabbit skins and a bag of rabbit meat. After drinking two sips of water, he cleaned the skins and hung them on a nearby tree to dry them. They could be stored in a few days.

Naoki Shikano stretched his waist and moved his bones, thinking that he would catch a few more rabbits tomorrow, so he wouldn't have to worry about short-term food.

Thinking of this, Naoki Shikano happily picked up the rabbit meat and went back to the pit where he was temporarily in charge.

Naoki Shikano pulled up a few handfuls of grass and planned to bundle them into a broom to clean the pit, and it would be even better to add a straw mat.

In my memory, every day the family lay on the straw mat, Naoki Shikano was surrounded by his parents, and he fell asleep listening to his father's story of bravely fighting beasts.

The brisk pace stopped suddenly, and Naoki Shikano saw that the wooden door of the earth pit was not his own, and he repeatedly confirmed that it was not his own.

Moreover, in Shikano Naoki's impression, that place was originally the family of the tailor's aunt, and the clothes made by the aunt were soft and durable, and the winter clothes were especially warm.

The aunt is kind and kind, and the children in the village, including Naoki Kano, also like to be by her side. Occasionally, some naughty children will be punished by her pinching their noses.

Naoki Shikano vigilantly put all the items in his pit and approached cautiously, thinking that he might have the same experience as himself, with his palm facing the sky, he curled his fingers, with the index finger and middle finger protruding slightly, and knocked. Twice the plank.

Naoki Shikano arrived in an unfamiliar environment unexpectedly. There was a black round table beside him, and the pale light shone from above. The light only reached an inch of the black round table. Except for this area, everything was pitch black.

Naoki Kano turned round and round eyes to look around, and even said to the dark place as if to embolden himself, "Who is it!" While speaking, he held the stone knife in his arms tightly.

After waiting tensely for a while, nothing happened. Naoki Kano could no longer suppress the child's heart, touched the black round table once, and then ran to the dark place recognizing the light source. What off the shelf, got nothing.

Not long after, Naoki Kano went through everything that should have been turned over, and he couldn't find the exit. He was bored sitting on the black round table and dangling his legs, thinking of a way to get out.

Naoki Shikano had a flash of inspiration, the action he had done before coming in, he did it again and wondered if he could leave, he tried it, and it really worked.

Looking at the familiar environment, Shikano Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the wooden board that had waited for a while without any response, he opened it holding his breath, and saw the body of a child who had just died lying on his stomach inside, with a stick stuck in his forehead. Elongated needles as long as an adult's hand.

Naoki Kano stretched out his hand towards him, and then retracted it again. He remembered that the tailor's aunt's child seemed to have just had a full moon last month—he stepped back when he thought of it, and just dodged the opponent's attack.

A man with a painted forehead tied on his head waved kunai and said, "You won't be so lucky next time, brat."

Naoki Kano met the man's eyes, reminding him of the fear of those eyes he saw in the pit, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily.

"You are very lucky to find and avoid that weird disaster like me." The man approached Naoki Kano step by step, and said, "But you will only have a dead end."

At this time, Naoki Shikano was different from when he was hiding in the pit. As time went by, his fear became less and less, and his physical strength gradually recovered. One of the books knocked down in the room with the round table, even There is no wind blowing, and the pages are slowly turning.

The flow of time in Shikano Naoki's eyes slowed down, he clenched the stone knife tightly, and hit each other at the moment when the man's Kunai swung towards him. Originally, the strength of a child was completely inferior to that of an adult, but from the moment he touched the Kunai, The rapid disintegration, the man only had time to watch his body end up like Kunai, like that disaster, and finally turned into dust.

Naoki Kano reached out to take the forehead guard that fell from the height of the man's forehead, and subconsciously moved his fingers to absorb the remaining fear on it. Seeing the end of the man, a thought flashed in his mind, but he didn't think about it, so he quietly He stared at the pattern on his forehead, as if he wanted to engrave it in his mind, and then put it in his arms.

Naoki Shikano turned to look at the pit, but there was nothing inside. It seemed that the child's body was a man's way of covering his eyes.

Naoki Shikano returned to his original pit, tied up the broom clumsily, and swept away the dust hastily. In addition, because the straw mat was too difficult to weave, he simply found a pile of straw and spread it in the pit, holding the rabbit in his arms. The dried meat lay curled up on the haystack. In the dead of night, Naoki Kano thought of his parents who would hug him to sleep, the tailor’s aunt’s family, and Murao’s aunt who was good at growing various plants, although she hated outsiders approaching her field , but she will occasionally give a few plums as snacks; the uncle at the entrance of the village is very good at making utensils, every time he studies new utensils with his father, he can always forget the time.

Naoki Kano flashed past the faces of the people in the village, his body curled up even more, he touched his forehead through his clothes, he did not cry but made an oath: "Go back."

"Give back your fear."
