next moment.

boom! ! !

The ground trembled slightly. Ringo Yuu looked incredulously at the rope tree emerging from the gray-white mist, and at the center of the smoke behind it, where an astonishing red light erupted:

"Tsuzhiro!!!"

As Ringo Amoe finished shouting, a soft thud came from the ground behind her. Ringo Amoe immediately swung her ninja sword and slashed backward.

stab-

Shirahoshi's face was slashed by Ringo Amoe's precise strike, and blood seemed to be overflowing.

Bang!

"What?! Another shadow clone?!"

"Your technique in using and combining ninjutsu is still a bit lacking."

"This time it's right, isn't it!!"

laugh! !

Shirahoshi's figure appeared behind him. The boy's right hand, holding a kunai, blocked one of Ringo Ameyoe's ninja swords. His left hand formed a hand seal as he stared at Ringo Ameyoe.

"ended."

"Magic Binding Technique!"

"hateful!!"

laugh!laugh!

"Ahhhh-"

His hands were instantly severed by Shirahoshi, who then pinned him to the ground. Blood slid down from the severed wrists, and his palms rolled on the ground.

Next, Shirahoshi knocked out the screaming Ringo Yuuwei with a karate chop and gave her emergency treatment to facilitate the subsequent interrogation.

"That's it, it's over."

Shirahoshi said expressionlessly. After Nawaki finished dealing with the Hidden Mist Chunin, he hurriedly jumped over.

"Shirahoshi, Shirahoshi, I've taken care of... that ninja." The excited Nawaki saw the two severed hands on the ground, Ringo Amoeba, who had fainted, revealing a ferocious expression, and Shirahoshi's cold back—at this moment, the boy was too frightened to speak.

"Have you checked the body? Have you confirmed that the injuries are too severe for movement or that the person is dead? And you come here?!"

"Yes...yes! I'll go right away!"

Rope Tree jumped away, thinking to himself that Brother Shirahoshi was really scary at this moment.

When they arrived at the spot, they discovered that the Hidden Mist Chunin had vanished, leaving only charred marks on the tree trunk from the explosive tags.

"Ah-le-le—"

"Why did he run away?!"

Normally, if you get hit by an explosive tag, you should be seriously injured even if you don't die immediately.

How could he possibly have the strength to run away?!

Just as Rope Tree was wondering, a man with long red hair came running from the nearby jungle. Rope Tree immediately became alert: "Who are you?!"

"Say the code!"

Even if the other party seems like a whirlpool, their actions are still intriguing and unpredictable.

The vortex, the deep wind, the skull, the emperor's words, the robe, the radiant cave, the Φ, the boar, the sheep, the sorry, the turbid, the ⑸, the official, the 辏, the 獠, the Pan, the flashing silk, the flattery, the , the 悖, the drought, the collapse, the skeleton, the award, the 鑫, the lucky, the roundworm, the quiet, the gangrene, the cave, the 耵, the water, the pocket, the 呐, the 眩, the 裘, the 耐, the 耍, �

"The enemy are ninjas from Kirigakure and Kumogakure. We need to protect the bond between us." Nawaki finally breathed a sigh of relief after responding to the coded message. "[The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.]"

"But it's alright! I took care of one with my own skills!"

"Yes! I know!" The vortex-like figure, seemingly oblivious to the chaos, murmured, "I know..."

Whirlpool, lamp curtain, aunt calling for a meal, little creek, helpless, every sip of squid, to tax, diligent, angry.

"Ninjutsu: Kirigakure no Jutsu!"

In the center, Shirahoshi took a deep breath of white mist, thinking to herself, "Is this never going to end?"

"The Jonin have arrived. Are you all going to be left behind too?"

Ding!

A senbon that was aimed at Ringo Amoeba's head was accurately deflected by Shirahoshi:

"You're the target."

"What a great companion, not letting you off the hook even after all this."

"court death!"

Before Bai Xing could continue speaking, a large number of hidden weapons appeared in the white mist, almost eliminating any space for Bai Xing and Lin Qingyu to leave: the boy formed three hand seals.

"Earth Release: Barrier Technique!"

Boom!

The earthen wall that rose from the ground blocked a large number of hidden weapons in front of them.

"Thank goodness it wasn't every day, otherwise it wouldn't just be cheap hidden weapons like shuriken, kunai, and senbon." Hiding behind the earthen wall, Shirahoshi only disarmed the wall after hearing no movement and sensing that the other party had stopped attacking.

As the earthen wall collapsed, various iron tools and concealed implements collided, producing a series of clanging and rattling sounds.

And at this moment, the white mist began to dissipate.

"have they gone?"

Bai Xing's gaze remained fixed, and his ears listened intently for any movement underground, but he heard nothing.

At the same time, the vortex swamp...

"Are you alright?! Shirahoshi, you genin!"

"It's alright, they probably wanted to silence us, but I stopped them. Please continue with the rest of the operation!"

"Yeah! Leave it to me!"

The whirlpool account is a paper-thin, large, and swirling fish. It blows and blows, revealing a sharp, lush, and vibrant scene. The fish are covered in swirling water, and the water is so deep and turbulent that it seems to be swimming in a whirlpool. The ...

As a young boy who had just witnessed the brutality of a ninja battle, he felt an absurd sense of not knowing what the purpose of life was: a kind person, once exposed to the ugliness of humanity, would find their own kindness twisted and disgusting.

Especially during childhood.

"What's wrong? Were you scared by my expression and tone just now?"

"No." Rope Tree shook his head: "I just don't understand why we have to fight to the death."

"Why did those Hidden Mist ninjas save another comrade, and then kill him?"

"Is it just because he can't walk?!"

Why be so cruel?!

"Who said the Kirigakure Chunin you were fighting left?" Shirahoshi calmly looked at Nawaki, who immediately looked bewildered.

"If you didn't leave, then why aren't you here...?"

Shirahoshi sighed softly: "As a ninja, shouldn't you check your surroundings after a battle?"

Shirahoshi glanced behind her, intending to form a shadow clone hand seal, but remembering that she was a genin and had already used many ninjutsu, she nodded to Uzumaki Yuuki and said she would use a shadow clone to protect herself. Only then did Shirahoshi bring Nawaki to the tree trunk where the battle had just taken place.

"vomit--"

Before even getting close to the tree, you can smell a pungent, bloody, rusty odor.

The brown-haired boy leaned against a tree, trying to vomit something. Bai Xing stood in front of the headless corpse, watching silently.

"That's how cruel the ninja world is."

"You saw me cut off the other person's hand just now, and you think I'm cruel, right? I ruined the other person's future as a ninja."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Rope Tree's eyes. He covered his mouth and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Shirahoshi said helplessly, "Nawaki. That person, from the moment I defeated him..."

"He had no choice."

The air was silent for a while. By this time, Rope Tree had gotten used to the headless corpse, and his gaze was somewhat vacant.

Tread-tap-

"The interrogation is over. The illusion was not very effective. The other party's willpower was too strong. Even with his chakra sealed, he still bit off his tongue and committed suicide."

"I left the head behind. I can give it to that Jonin from the Yamanaka clan to take a look when he returns."

The conversation, cruel and cold, seemed to be about very ordinary things, but it felt like Rope Tree's inner worldview had been hit like never before.

"Okay. Let's go back first."

Shirahoshi walked for a while, then noticed Rope Tree standing frozen behind her, and stopped in her tracks: "If this is all you can endure."

"Maybe I shouldn't be a ninja."

Maybe I shouldn't be a ninja.

Don't be a ninja anymore.

Don't be a ninja.

Become a ninja.

ninja.

Chapter 66 As long as my power is sufficient, I am justice and light!

Even after nightfall, when they finished eating and rested, Rope Tree was still in a daze for a long time.

After a change of personnel, the forest was taken over by the clan ninjas from the city and the jonin who were guarding it today, who set up camp to protect the unfinished ship: a total of about one hundred ninjas.

All the ninjas who worked today have returned to the city to rest. They will continue building the ship tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will be completed before dark tomorrow, and they will be able to leave by ship the day after tomorrow.

Outside, it was pitch black night, with only a white crescent moon appearing ten thousand meters above the sky.

The moonlight shone on the window of a wooden house.
