Chapter 134
Chapter 134
To this day, Kazuko still can't forget what Shen Yue said at that time.
"No matter what you want to do, you really have to let people eat first."
It was this sentence that echoed faintly in Kazuko's ears. The completely sincere tone, without any hypocrisy or perfunctory elements, after being blurred and beautified countless times by memory, seemed to be some kind of unshakable truth, firmly engraved in her heart.
Compared with any words, hunger is a greater truth.
Kazuko knows the taste of hunger too well. If people can't eat enough and are hungry like birds, they will eventually die for food like birds.
Hunger is extremely terrible. No matter how much a person is injured, the physical fatigue and pain will eventually make him fall into a deep sleep, but when he is hungry, he can't sleep. It is a desire that wants to gnaw even stones when it reaches the limit. What makes Kazuko even more unbearable is that hunger will also cast a lingering shame on people's hearts.
Hunger is clearly hanging over everyone's head, but in the past, people standing at the top were unwilling to look directly at it. Whether it was the princes and nobles or the ninja warriors, they were more willing to live for those empty words and concepts.
In other words, the former will never be trapped by hunger, and will never care whether the untouchables at the bottom will starve to death because of their extravagant desires, while the latter are willing to deceive others with that illusory belief. Whether it is deceiving others or deceiving themselves, ninjas have always been proficient in this.
But Shenyue is different from them. If someone can really bring long-term peace to the ninja world, then this person must be Uchiha Shenyue.
Until now, Kazuko still remembers Shenyue's smile at that time.
The sunlight shines through the treetops and falls on the girl's cute and tender face. Her smile is so clear as if she has never suffered setbacks and injuries. The simple and innocent ideal is so pure that it cannot tolerate a trace of haze. Until now, that innocent smile is still shining in Kazuko's memory.
Her ideal, like a beam of light, penetrated the heavy haze in Kazuko's heart, giving this desperate soul hope and faith to continue living.
In order to see the scenery in Shenyue's eyes, she struggled to survive in this hellish world. The three years she spent in Uchiha Field have always been the most relaxing and satisfying time in Kazuko's bleak life.
If the daughter is the support for Kazuko to live, then Shenyue is her belief in living.
How could she really hurt Shenyue?
It's so sad.
She knew that the ninja would definitely defeat the Fire Temple, and that Konoha would definitely occupy the Land of Fire. She wanted to witness the world in Shenyue's eyes with her own eyes, but from the beginning, she stood on the ship of the old world and could only sink with this shaky broken ship.
This kind of sadness is really like a cold blade, silently piercing into the depths of Kazuko's heart, cutting her painfully.
"I betrayed you from the beginning, Lord Shen Yue, do you hate me?"
Shen Yue closed her eyes and let her thoughts surge in her heart. After careful consideration, she shook her head resolutely, her eyes as clear and calm as when they first met.
"Why are you still so naive?"
Hezi finally smiled calmly. The face that had been deeply tortured by suffering and covered with traces of years and wrinkles seemed to be bathed in warm sunshine at this moment. Each wrinkle was like a withered flower stretching out in the spring breeze. After experiencing many pains and struggles, she seemed to have found some kind of relief, and her eyes had a kind of relief that revealed everything.
So she picked up the teacup, and a few cups of tea slowly slid down her throat, bringing a subtle warmth and relief. Gradually, the teacup was empty, and the bone-eroding poison began to take effect. The teacup in Hezi's hand fell to the ground. She suddenly opened her mouth and spit out a large mouthful of turbid blood.
Shen Yue stared at Kazuko, with all kinds of complicated emotions in her eyes. After a brief struggle and confusion, she still opened her Sharingan. These eyes were as bright as rainbows, but they were full of strange red lines like graffiti. Shen Yue quickly drew out the knife, ready to cut off the dead line of the toxin in Kazuko's body.
"Ahem, don't save me!"
Kazuko suddenly burst out with great strength and pushed Shen Yue's hand away. An indescribable fishy sweetness suddenly surged in her throat. She opened her mouth and vomited a large piece of red. The large piece of blood immediately stained her clothes like ink.
What the Fire Temple left her was a strong poison. When it comes to torturing people, those bald donkeys have always been very creative. In just a few seconds, Kazuko's internal organs were corroded by the poison, as if thousands of knives were cutting her body.
Looking at Kazuko, who was tortured but relieved, Shen Yue's face showed a struggling look, but in the end, sheShe put down the knife in her hand, and the strange and bizarre Sharingan was replaced by black. A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Kazuko's face, because she saw that Shenyue was crying for her.
"My, daughter... is she okay?"
Kazuko's pupils gradually lost focus, becoming scattered and confused. Before she died, the thing she missed most, besides Shenyue in front of her, was her daughter who had been away for many years.
Shenyue hesitated for a moment, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in her heart. She suddenly grabbed Kazuko's hand tightly, and her warm fingers tried to bring a little warmth to Kazuko's cold palm.
"She... is still alive."
In the end, she still didn't have the heart to tell Kazuko the truth. As early as three years ago, when Kazuko came to Konoha, the child had died of hunger.
"Ah..."
But her lie did not deceive Kazuko. As early as the moment Shenyue hesitated, she understood that her daughter was no longer in the world.
No, she actually knew clearly all along that without the protection of her mother, how could a child survive in this cruel ninja world?
She had been deceiving herself all along.
The deep hatred erupted like a spark, but the shadow of death was like a huge black hand, quickly devouring the flame in Kazuko's heart.
At the last moment of her life, Kazuko suddenly clasped Shenyue's wrist, and with her last breath, she told Shenyue the secret that brought death to the whole clan:
"There is a monster behind the Fire Temple..."
"It has lived from a thousand years ago to the present..."
"You, must be careful!"
.....
Since the Uchiha clan was found to have a traitor, the whole Konoha was filled with a tense and murderous atmosphere, especially the Uchiha clan, which was fully prepared for war.
Attacking Uchiha Shenyue was no longer a simple suicide.
This is simply dancing on the sensitive and extreme nerves of the Uchiha clan. Not only is it madly provoking the bottom line of this ancient and proud family, but it is also treating two well-known apprentice control and daughter slaves as completely dead!
You know, after the Uchiha Shenyue was attacked last time, the gold exchange office in the Fire Country was completely wiped out by the furious red-eyed monsters, and even the names of the five great countries were all replaced!
In this regard, onlookers who did not know the truth talked about it, and the underground casino even set up a bet. Everyone wanted to know which warrior was so tired of living that he wanted to end his life with a Susanoo and a True Thousand Hands?
Seeing that there were still people who dared to challenge the bottom line of the Uchiha clan and attack the pearls of their clan, the angry red-eyed monsters put down their affairs and devoted themselves to preparing for war.
Those family ninjas who usually mingled in the crowd and put down their butcher knives and picked up kitchen knives also took back their usual weapons and equipment at this moment, so the villagers of Konoha were surprised to find that the clerks of Uchiha Liancha and Sugar House were all experienced ninjas who had been through many battles.
Originally in a peaceful and quiet life, this group of Uchiha ninjas have gradually shown their softening side, and the aura that was originally difficult to approach has become gentle. Although they are still so arrogant, they are like wolves turning into cats, which only makes people feel cute, but now, the emotions of rage and hatred have frozen their softened hearts again, and one by one they have turned from cats back to wolves, murderous, and people dare not look directly at them.
Even ordinary clan members are so angry, let alone a well-known apprentice control.
Uchiha Madara sharpened his knife, barely suppressing a deep anger that was roaring like darkness and engulfing all reason. The bloodthirsty desire tore at his heart like a beast, making his face become more and more cold.
Thinking that there were still people who dared to make trouble under his nose, and even wanted to harm Shenyue, a terrifying smile instantly overflowed from the corner of Madara's mouth, which made people shudder. He turned out the red armor he used to wear, and ordered to summon the tribesmen. The tribesmen responded one after another, and everyone put on the ninja costumes of the Warring States Period. The faces that were similar because of blood also showed the same cold expression, as if they had returned to the Warring States Period when every breath was filled with the smell of blood.
It is foreseeable that the Fire Temple will be razed to the ground by the furious red-eyed monsters.
This conflict is not trivial, because this time, not only Uchiha Madara, but also the Senju brothers are surprisingly angry.
The daimyo of the Fire Country, who is particularly sensitive to the slightest disturbance in the outside world, was almost immediately frightened by the movement of Konoha, and immediately sent an envoy to Konoha.
For some unknown purpose, the daimyo of the Fire Country was razed to the ground by the furious red-eyed monsters.The increasingly indifferent Tobirama invited the envoy to meet in person, which was very rare. This made the frightened envoy cry out that there was a trick. As expected, Tobirama almost scared him to death as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Does the daimyo want to destroy the one village, one country system?"
Tobirama was a man who never stopped talking, and he shocked the envoy. Look, is this something a human can say?
The unfortunate envoy was shaking all over, especially after looking at Tobirama who suppressed his anger, he couldn't say a word.
This is not surprising. In front of a veteran and bloody strongman like Senju Tobirama, a mortal with no chakra would certainly be frightened by his undisguised murderous aura and unable to move. The fact that he didn't faint on the spot was because of his firm will.
However, the unlucky envoy who was caught between the daimyo and Tobirama, who dared not offend either side, could only defend the daimyo intermittently:
"What, what... No, no..."
What do you mean by the daimyo destroying the one village one country system? Does the daimyo have the courage and strength to do so? He was just secretly tripping up Konoha and setting a trap for Konoha...
Tobirama's tone became more and more unhappy, and his voice rose again. The atmosphere in the office became colder and colder. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the light in his pupils was dangerous and sharp, and the threat was self-evident:
"The daimyo repeatedly attacked Konoha. Does he want to break the alliance with the ninja and return the Fire Country to the chaotic world of the Warring States?"
He wanted to, but how could he do it? You think too highly of him!
The envoy, who wanted to cry but had no tears, almost wanted to kneel down on the ground, put his hands together, and beg the devil to let him go under the sharp gaze of Senju Tobirama. However, Tobirama would not give him this opportunity. If the previous two times were still accusations, then this time, it was a ruthless declaration of war:
"Since the daimyo is determined to do this, then Konoha does not mind going to the capital in person to help the daimyo to correct the chaos and restore justice!"
If words can be turned into blades, then at this moment, the envoy would have been pierced through the heart by thousands of swords and died.
Go to Luoyang, Konoha is going to Luoyang!
The envoy's face was ashen, and his legs lost consciousness. He instantly collapsed on the floor, and the whole person fell into chaos and helplessness, with fear and despair in his eyes.
In endless fear, the envoy did not dare to stay at all, and hurriedly left Konoha Village and returned to the capital. His heart was full of anxiety and despair, as if he had seen the tragic scene of his future being ruined and even his life gone.
After that, Konoha never received any news from the daimyo again, and the envoys seemed to have evaporated without a trace. Only a letter from the daimyo accusing the Fire Temple and another letter from the Fire Temple accusing the daimyo were secretly delivered to his desk.
But this kind of petty trick of betraying each other can't solve the problem.
After reading two letters full of dirty secrets, Tobirama waved his hand and not only allocated a large amount of funds and equipment, but also selected a large number of Anbu and combat ninjas, and even called the group of newly promoted Chunin children together.
For such a big scene as razing the Fire Temple and killing the daimyo, of course the more people who come to visit, the better. To be honest, Tobirama always felt very sorry for missing the burning of the castle tower last time.
This time, he must not miss it again.
Of course, the Fire Temple, which is known as the first holy temple in the Land of Fire, is indeed very powerful and cannot be underestimated. The monks in it are equivalent to some powerful ninjas, and they also possess a special ability called "power of the immortal clan". In general, its strength is roughly equivalent to that of a medium-sized ninja clan in Konoha.
But in front of the enraged Konoha, the Fire Temple is just a slightly larger ant.
