Ninja World

Chapter 3 The red-haired boy

Learning Ninjutsu is an extremely scarce resource in the environment they have access to.

Once you master ninjutsu, you master power.

The secrecy of the ninjas and the harsh conditions of the ninja villages have led to the scarcity of ninjutsu among the civilian class.

There is only one way to learn ninjutsu in this country.

Go to Rain Ninja Village.

Enter the Rain Ninja Village and become a part of it.

Although there are many difficulties and hope is almost zero, Xiaonan feels that her heartbeat is slightly accelerated for some reason.

A pair of clear eyes glanced at Chen's pretty face and then glanced at Yahiko who was smiling at the side. It seemed that with both of them, there was hope in everything.

"Chen is right."

Yahiko was very happy to think of Chen together again.

"We must learn ninjutsu to survive better."

"Only then can we change this country one day in the future."

The orange-haired boy stood up and spoke loudly, his blood boiling, as if he wanted to mobilize the enthusiasm of the two of them.

The light from the fire lengthened his shadow, instantly becoming taller, expanding four or five times in size, and casting it on the wall of the three-story building behind him.

"Let this country stop crying."

He opened his arms and showed his bright smile and white teeth.

Huge shadows danced.

It seems that hope is right in front of us, just tomorrow.

"Let the sunshine...."

"Shut up, kid!"

The angry voice seemed to disturb sleep.

The lights upstairs flickered, a window suddenly opened, and a flowerpot was thrown down. The frightened orange-haired boy quickly ran in with his head in his hands.

The flowerpot fell to pieces.

Then he closed the window hard.

"hey-hey."

After escaping back, Yahiko scratched his hair in embarrassment, but surprisingly, neither Chen nor Konan smiled this time.

It seems that the young man's ambition is not just a second grader, but a strong belief supporting him.

A small body contains a strong willpower.

He...is serious.

Chen blinked his eyes and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He was far inferior to this young man back then. Even now, a soul that has lived for more than twenty years still does not have such a strong belief in one thing.

"I trust you."

"Yahiko."

Xiaonan sat next to Chen, the firelight reflected on the fair cheeks of the lavender-haired girl, her eyes full of determination.

"I believe you too."

Chen smiled quietly and then said.

But at this moment...

The sound of an object hitting the water startled the three people present.

Chen was startled for a moment, then tightened his grip on the strange black dagger he picked up from his sleeve.

Konan and Yahiko also showed nervous expressions for a moment.

You must know that the Kingdom of Rain is still in the stage of war at this moment. Iwagakure of the Kingdom of Earth, Sunagakure of the Kingdom of Wind, and Konohagakure of the Country of Fire are fighting fiercely on the land of the Kingdom of Rain.

Every day people die because of war.

Every day, children like them are displaced and have no home.

"Could it be a ninja?"

Xiao Nan said nervously.

Yahiko also held a black dagger tightly.

"It could also be someone snatching food."

The people who threaten them in this country are not only the ninjas in the fierce battle, but also the refugees who have lost their homes and are suffering from hunger.

Stealing of food and even cannibalism occurred from time to time.

"I gonna go see."

Chen pursed his lips and told the two of them to stay where they were. He put on his cloak alone, clutched the dagger tightly and walked into the rain.

There is still no moonlight tonight, and there are no stars in the sky.

The gray sky was shrouded in clouds, and endless light raindrops fell.

The small figure penetrated the rain curtain, and soon the source of the sound was discovered.

A figure lying in the water, red hair scattered on the muddy land, motionless.

Chen's face changed slightly, and the palm holding the dagger was harder, and the veins on the back of his hand were faintly exposed.

Is he...still alive? He is still a corpse.

Perhaps the boy took the initiative to go out to investigate alone because of his courage and some sense of responsibility. He believed that no matter what situation he encountered, he would handle it better than Konan and Yahiko.

He glanced around, and after confirming that there was no other movement around him, he cautiously took steps toward the 'body' lying prone in the rain.

He seems to be about the same age as them, and he must be a poor man who ended up like this because of the war.

Chen's calmness is greater than sympathy.

The cold reality overwhelms the foundation of human nature.

He wanted to search the body, maybe there would be something useful.

But at this moment...

His body buried deep in the rain suddenly trembled, his red hair trembled, and the muddy water poured into his nose and throat spurted out, which seemed to be an unconscious self-rescue behavior of the body.

"Still alive."

Chen was startled for a moment, then put the black dagger back into his cuff, ran over quickly, and picked him up from the rain. If he had soaked for a while longer, he would have drowned in the puddle.

The red-haired boy's body had no strength at all, and he leaned on Chen's body.

"Hey Chen, what happened?"

At this time, two small figures ran over in the rain curtain, wearing raincoats. They saw Bian Chen crouching in the rain.

Xiaonan and Yahiko ran over, and they were worried that Anchen would go out alone.

So each of them grabbed a handy weapon and chased them out.

"he is..."

When he came closer, he saw a red-haired boy in Qingchen's arms, his eyes closed tightly, and his pale cheeks were already covered with mud.

When I put my fingers on my nostrils, I can't breathe in as much as I breathe out, and my heartbeat is very weak.

"Give me a hand and send him back."

The rain poured on the three children and they fell to the muddy ground. They hurriedly carried the thin red-haired boy and fled back under the awning.

The firelight illuminated the darkness in this long rainy night.

The three children stood by nervously.

Chen took off the soaked clothes for the red-haired boy and used the clean rainwater to wipe away the dirt on his face and body.

Then he put on the loose clothes he stole from a family.

Xiaonan blushed and turned her head away without looking. Immediately, fatigue came over her. She was exhausted from the busy day and half the night. After a while, she hugged her knees and fell asleep deeply.

Yahiko sat aside and watched Chen, who was busy but couldn't help. He slowly started to move his head little by little, and after a while he started to snore slightly.

Chen sat cross-legged in front of the red-haired boy, adding dry wood to the fire at intervals to ensure that the warm flame burned for a long time.

The flames radiated warmth, causing the young man's body to quickly warm up.

He slowly retracted his palm.

The heartbeat of the red-haired boy has gradually stabilized.

"It doesn't look like anything serious."

Chen said silently.

His eyes swept over Konan and Yahiko, and saw that both of them fell asleep in a sitting position.

I couldn't help but smile lightly.

There was also some fatigue in his eyes. He leaned against a corner and closed his eyes.
