Chapter 156 What are you doing here, Naruto!
Among the five great ninja nations, the Land of Water is arguably the most impoverished.
It is a country composed of many archipelagos. Not only is there little arable land inside, but the upper-level Kirigakure believes that strength is supreme, so the way they train ninjas is even more cruel and ruthless.
The Blood Mist Hidden is the bloody training policy that started from the Third Kirigakure and continued to the Fourth Kirigakure, and is still being implemented today.
Similarly, decisions made at the top will naturally affect the development of the bottom.
For a long time, the people of the Water Kingdom, who have suffered from the devastation of war, have inevitably developed certain customary rules.
Once a child or bloodline with a Kekkei Genkai is discovered, the relatives who have no Kekkei Genkai will take action and completely eliminate the root cause of the war with their own hands.
The cold wind is like a knife, harvesting lives invisibly.
White snow is beautiful, but to the residents of the Water Kingdom who are hungry and struggling on the edge of food and clothing all year round, the meaning of white snow is no different from the god of death.
The ragged figure huddled beside the garbage dump, the cold snow turning his tender hands and feet red.
The pair of eyes, distinctly black and white, were now lifeless. Bursts of shouting were heard, and the pair of eyes turned their gaze to see wild dogs that were driving away the invaders that had entered their territory.
"Feel sorry."
A childish and apologetic voice emanated from the face hidden by the long hair, which further aroused the wild dog's arrogance.
Just then, a thickly dressed man hurried over, complaining about the damn weather and throwing the garbage in his hand into the trash can.
He ignored the figure curled up behind the trash can. In this damn era, even his own family didn't have any surplus food, let alone the orphans wandering outside.
Who knows if he is a war orphan from the battlefield? If he is rescued as a plague god, and accidentally endangers the lives of his entire family, wouldn’t that be not worth it!
After the man left, the thin figure quickly stood up and rummaged through the garbage in the trash can.
The wild dog nearby kept howling, revealing its yellow fangs, as if it was about to rush towards the thin figure in front of it and bite it hard.
Crunch...
The soft snow made an unmuffled sound underfoot, and the wild dog with bared fangs and claws whimpered, then walked away in shame with its tail between its legs.
"Why? Why not drive it away?"
"What beautiful eyes! Big brother's eyes have the same look as mine..."
Snowflakes were falling, and under the dirty face, a pair of pure and flawless eyes like gems stared at the complex eyes of black and blood red for a long time.
"Come with me. From today on, your life, your soul, and everything about you belong to me. I will give your life meaning, Bai."
His eyes dropped to the big hand that was reaching out to him, slender and strong, with flesh on bones.
When Bai stretched out his hand and placed it on that big hand, an unprecedented warmth seeped into his heart.
"Yes! I am Big Brother's tool, and I will definitely complete Big Brother's orders. That's enough. Please, don't abandon me..."
The figure disappeared in the snow. No one noticed this imperceptible scene, and no one cared whether the life of an orphan was lost or whereabouts.
For Bai, who had lost everything, this short promise was a new beginning and the meaning of life.
...................
Three days later, in Konoha's medical department.
Sasuke lying on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was not the familiar ceiling, but the smell of disinfectant all around.
"What happened? A nightmare?"
Sasuke, who had temporarily lost his memory, got off the bed and walked out of the ward.
Before I reached the nurse's station, I heard two female voices, seemingly whispering.
"Have you heard? Konoha's famous family, the Uchiha clan, was wiped out, and the murderer did not even spare the children and the elderly."
"I never thought that the Uchiha family, who is a famous family, would suffer such a disaster. Now the village has launched a hunt for the murderer..."
"Come to think of it, it seems that only that child is left..."
"No way, where's Kagetsu? Uchiha Kagetsu won't be killed, my youth!"
"It seems that Lady Kazuki was temporarily invited by the Hokage to carry out a confidential mission, otherwise the Uchiha clan would not be so miserable..."
Several female nurses were chatting, and the topic gradually shifted to another topic. Sasuke, who was leaning in the corner, narrowed his eyes, and the memories that he had tried to forget flooded into his mind.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how could it be...how could it be..."
He quickly left through the window and ran all the way to the Uchiha clan's territory, but when he arrived at the familiar street, the seal and the prohibition of entry on it made him feel cold all over.
Before I knew it, dark clouds covered the sky and the fine drizzle soaked my clothes.
"Sasuke, do you want to eat fish yaki today too?"
The voice of the shopkeeper vaguely echoed in my ears, and the uncle reading the newspaper was lying on the rocking chair, lamenting the prices and rumors in the village...
The scenes that we used to be accustomed to now only have cold seals and silent breezes.
His steps were heavy, and he didn't know how much time had passed, but when the familiar door of his home came into view, Sasuke's hands trembled slightly as he slowly pushed the door open.
The home that usually gave him warmth became unusually lonely at this moment, and the quiet room where his father used to talk with his brother was opened.
At this moment, there were only two pools of black and red blood in the room, as if proving that the painful memories in his mind were not false.
thump!
The sound coming from the kitchen gave Sasuke a glimmer of hope that didn't exist.
"Yes, it must be mom. Mom can't be dead. Mom must be in the kitchen, making my favorite bonito rice and tomato miso soup. It must be like this..."
Sasuke's pace gradually quickened and he rushed into the kitchen quickly, calling out subconsciously.
"mom!"
"Meow?!"
The black cat that sneaked in through the window to look for food was frightened and ran out the door. The kitchen utensils in the kitchen fell to the ground, and the sound of rain outside the window became louder and louder.
"Your hatred is not enough, your strength is not enough, your capacity is not enough, when you open these eyes, come to me again, Sasuke..."
Why why why...
The heart beat faster and faster, and the eyes, which were as bright as lacquer, were gradually filled with bloodshot.
"Just because of this, just because of this reason, you killed my father, my mother and the whole family... Why? Answer me, Itachi!"
Blood dripped from the corner of his lips and he knelt on the ground subconsciously. Sasuke's eyes changed quietly, and in the depths of his blood-red eyes, the black magatama rotated slightly.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed, and familiar yet unfamiliar words came into Sasuke's ears.
"After hearing the news, I wanted to come and take a look. As expected... not a single person was left alive. This clean and efficient method is chilling."
A pair of blood-red eyes looked back, Sasuke's face was full of anger, and he shouted harshly.
"Why did you come here all the way? This is the Uchiha place. Outsiders have no right to say anything, Naruto!"
