"Your physical strength is too weak. You only arrived here at night."
When they arrived at the destination, Danzo said coldly, then pointed to one of the hills. "I have a secret mission. There are bandits cultivated by the Renegade here. I order you to clear them out."
"What?"
Zi Xiao exclaimed, his face pale.
Kill?
Sho Sho clenched the hilt of his sword. He was a little nervous and at a loss, but he was not afraid.
The sword was a killing weapon, and he was ready to kill since he was a child.
"Are there any ninjas cultivated by the Renegade?"
Akabane took a deep breath.
"According to the Anbu's intelligence, they are responsible for providing supplies to the Renegade. There are no ninjas among them, but just in case, I want to clear them out!"
After Danzo finished, he looked at them coldly. "I don't want to help you complete the mission by myself."
"This … this …"
Zi Xiao was frightened, panicked, and hesitant.
He could kill people, but he could not accept killing women and children.
"Yes, Sensei!"
Sho Sho got up and went to the hill with his short sword.
Patrolling the border and killing the bandits that obstructed the border traffic was part of it.
Akabane sighed softly and took a pen and paper to the camp on the hill.
The situation was more important than the person. Danzo had said that they must complete the mission no matter what.
"Akabane and Sho Sho will do it anyway, Zi Xiao … What will you do?"
Danzo watched them leave for a long time and slowly followed behind.
Akabane was mature, and Sakumo was influenced by his family's upbringing. Only Zi Xiao was a little worse, and his determination was not as firm.
As they got closer and closer to the hill, Akabane could see the lights on the mountain.
"Sensei wants us to kill children …"
"Sooner or later, it's just that we are one step ahead. As a ninja, you should have thought of this day."
Akabane said lightly.
Although he was panicking deep down, he still had to maintain a calm expression on his face. Otherwise, he would be no different from these little brats.
Sho Sho pressed his hand on his sword and said, "My father taught me from a young age that the sword is a killing weapon. Ninjas live to kill. Just like what Akabane said, it's a path that I have to take sooner or later."
"I've been a ninja since I was young, and I only wanted to kill enemy ninjas …"
Zi Xiao clenched his fists.
After all, they were all children. How could they suddenly accept the fact that they were going to kill their children?
"If you can't accept it, I'll go up and kill all the children."
Sho Sho raised his saber, intending to kill his way to the mountain gate.
"Let me do it for the children. I'll euthanize them."
Akabane took the drawing board and went up the mountain. Controlling the five senses was enough to make them die without feeling anything.
"No, I want to do it too."
"My aptitude is not as good as yours. If I take a step back, I will forever be behind you."
"I don't want to fall behind, I want to become a powerful ninja!"
Clenching his teeth, Zi Xiao clenched his kunai and took the lead to charge up the mountain.
With a burst of speed, he reached the mountainside in the blink of an eye. His sharp kunai killed everyone he saw without mercy.
No matter how ferocious the mountain bandits were, they were still ordinary people. The three of them were all elite Genin. How could ordinary people fight against ninjas?
Blood sprayed all over the place, and in a moment, corpses were everywhere.
"Run, the ninjas are here, the ninjas are here!"
"Can we escape? Let's fight! "
"Retreat, there are two ninjas. We can't beat them."
The group of people at the top of the mountain was extremely flustered. Some wanted to fight, and some didn't dare to. It could be said that it was a complete mess.
They usually thought that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so they wouldn't be paid too much attention. They didn't expect that the Wood Leaf ninjas would still come.
They came so quickly and so terrifyingly!
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique."
Flames sprayed, and countless small fireballs flew in from outside, dancing in the mountain stronghold.
"Demonic arts! These are all demonic arts! Run … "
"Run, run …"
In the midst of the screams, figures shuttled back and forth in the fire.
However …
The blade flashed, and every slash took a life.
At the back of the mountain, Akabane was sitting in the middle of the road, writing.
"Mother, why are we leaving?"
"Because the ninjas are here …"
To ordinary people, ninjas were objects of worship, but to the mountain bandits, they were the Grim Reaper.
Wait!
What's in front?
The mountain bandit leading the way stopped, his eyes vigilant. He waved the steel sword in his hand and said, "Little brat, if you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
"Leader, it's a ninja … he has a forehead protector on his head. He's a Wood Leaf ninja!"
Someone shouted in horror.
Hearing the word "ninja," the leader was so scared that he almost dropped his sword.
He had seen the strength of the two young ninjas in front with his own eyes. There were only two of them, but they slaughtered the entire mountain stronghold. They weren't people they could deal with at all.
"Lord ninja, please spare our lives. We had no choice but to escape to the Fire Country to rob …"
Another woman knelt in front of him and begged, "We just want to live."
"Sorry, I can't make the decision."
Akabane looked around. Except for a few leaders, the rest were women and children.
He didn't stop writing. These mountain bandits usually robbed a lot of money and killed a lot of people, but today it was their turn.
The background of the painting was already prepared. It was the forest path behind the mountain.
With a wave of the pen and ink, the characters were drawn one by one, and then the illusion suddenly appeared.
In the illusion, there was a silent, painless killing.
"This is the only thing I can do."
Akabane deliberately controlled the Bloodline Limit to erase most of their pain, so that they would end their lives one by one in the illusion.
These were all ordinary people, so adding a little bit of mental energy didn't cost much.
A few minutes later, the painting was torn apart.
Everyone fell to the ground. Frostbite appeared on their bodies, as if they were frozen to death.
Akabane looked at the mess and was silent for a long time.
He killed people.
Killing without bloodshed was even more terrifying than actually seeing blood. This was because Red Feather did not even feel any fluctuations in his heart. It was as if he had only erased a piece of the picture scroll, and not really killed a bunch of people.
"The Land of Whirlpools is so chaotic … Danzo probably came here to investigate the situation."
Akabane wasn't stupid, and he knew the information of the future, so he instantly understood everything.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and the seeds of Whirlpool Village's destruction were already sown.
"Akabane, you seem to be thinking about something, do you understand something?"
A voice came from behind him.
Shimura Danzo!
Akabane turned around, then slightly bowed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Sensei, the Land of Whirlpools …"
"I want to hear what you're thinking."
"The chaos in the Land of Whirlpools has affected the Fire Country. According to Daimyo's attitude towards the Land of Whirlpools, I'm afraid that he won't be friendly to the Land of Whirlpools."
Akabane stated his own conclusion.
This wasn't just his memory of the future, but also his judgment based on the current clues.
"Ha."
Danzo chuckled, and then he formed a seal with both hands, and then he spat out a storm from his mouth. The storm swept across the ground, and soon a large pit appeared.
"Bury them."
"What do you think we should do next?"
Danzo said lightly.
This question seemed to be asking for advice, but in fact, it was more of a test question.
Akabane pondered for a moment and said: "The Land of Whirlpools and the Fire Country have no alliance, and unless Whirlpool Village is in danger, there's nothing we can do."
"Ha, not bad, I appreciate you more and more."
Danzo slowly went up the mountain.
Akabane buried the corpses, and after doing all this, he returned to the top of the mountain.
"Sensei, it seems that we can't live on the top of the mountain, we have to stay in the wilderness tonight."
Akabane glanced around. The top of the mountain was a mess, and the houses were either stained with blood or burned by fire. Obviously, there was no way to live here.
"It's okay, as long as we can live here."
Danzo casually found a room to stay in.
Zixiao and Sho Sho hesitated for a moment, and then stayed in the room next to the one where they killed people.
Akabane followed them in and saw that their faces were pale.
The corpses have been cleaned up, but the room was full of blood, and they just killed people, how can they sleep?
"I killed a lot of people, some of them were real bandits, but most of them were just ordinary people …"
Zixiao was in pain, and there was fear and guilt on his face. At the same time, Sho Sho was silent.
"We have no choice."
From the beginning to the end, Akabane knew that he had no choice.
If he had a choice, he would rather stay in Konoha and not leave the house. He would just focus on drawing his own manga. But could he?
"Even Sensei can't resist it, let alone us Genin."
Akabane had a hidden meaning.
At this time, the blood in the room was condensed, and the smell was even worse.
