The sun melted away the fog, and the melodious bell rang. Hihara Touka, who was holding on to finish the red bean porridge with too much soy sauce, held the standard long knife wrapped in oil paper, and said to Mi Mei with an apologetic expression:

"Sister, I have to go to class and I can't accompany you anymore..."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll see you off." Terumi Mei smiled in an arc.

The guess in his heart needs more information to confirm. Since Hashirama arranged himself and this innocent little girl in a room, he must not mind doing some basic intelligence gathering work.

Along the way, Terumi Mei kept looking at the surrounding facilities. Although this newly established Kenyin Village was simple, it already had basic physical features. The ninja activity area and the residential activity area were connected by a river.

The buildings in the ninja activity area are tall but sparse. Except for the Sword Shadow Building, which is the administrative office center, other ninja schools, ninja hospitals and training grounds are scattered everywhere. On the mountain road in the distance, there are people carrying long swords on their backs. The figures of other students heading to the school silently.

The buildings in the residential area are short but numerous, with various shops and residential buildings of different shapes. People who get up early in the morning hang their washed clothes and salted fish on the rope before starting a new day. Although most of the children who stay at home are already sensible, they still get the tireless advice from their parents before leaving:

In case of rain, be sure to put away your clothes and fish in time!

Although there are still children who forget about it because of their fun every day, and eat a meal of rattan fried meat served by their parents in the evening.

Compared with the deserted ninja area, the residential area is crowded with people. The strong smell of salted fish runs through the small river that serves as the boundary, lingering on the tip of Terumi Mei's nose, and running through the river where many ordinary people in the Land of Waves grow up.

A fishing net goes from the father’s generation, to one’s own generation, and then to one’s own children’s generation.

The inertia of inheritance has a weight that transcends the material level. Fishing nets are no longer just a simple tool for making a living. Naturally, salted fish is no longer an ordinary food on the table. It has an air of destiny attached to it. This is not a compliment. , especially in this place across the river from the ninja activity area, the originally imperceptible shackles of fate became more and more unbearable every time these ordinary people looked across the river.

There are more houses in the residential area being built. These buildings do not continue the usual maritime style of the Land of Waves. They are just some stiff imitations of the buildings on the other side of the river, although Hashirama has not done anything about the building type of the residential area. There are no hard and fast rules, but the workers on the island still consciously obeyed a certain silent understanding during construction.

The red walls are mixed with cement, and the newly laid tiles sparkle golden in the sun.

Terumi Mei didn't know that the residential area was so lively. Anyway, there didn't seem to be that many people when we went up the mountain yesterday?

"Because the bad guys in Kirigakure Village attacked the Land of Waves yesterday, and it was Mr. Hashirama who drove those bad guys away. Everyone hopes to get closer to Mr. Hashirama." Fuyuka explained softly.

In fact, what Donghua said was only one of the reasons.

The siphon effect of Ninja Village on surrounding settlements has always existed.

In this country where Cardo controls the foreign shipping trade and the national wealth is constantly being forcibly plundered by big capitalists, joining the Hidden Sword Village is almost the biggest dream and the only way out for many people in the Country of Waves.

This is not only because Kengakure Village will issue high subsidies to members of the Ninja Village, but also after witnessing the bloody war between Konoha and Kirigakure yesterday, and witnessing Hashirama's powerful ability to destroy the entire Kirigakure army with one person. , the urgency of pursuing backing and power made many people on the island who were still waiting and watching make up their minds. Even if they fail the qualification test of Jianyin Village, they must step up and follow behind Jianyin Village.

If I had not experienced the light, I could have endured the darkness.

If I had not witnessed resistance, I would have endured the bullying.

The islanders of the Land of Waves, who have always been resigned to the situation, witnessed another possibility in the Sword Hidden Village.

Some people discover almost overnight that the smell of salted fish they have smelled their entire lives is actually not pleasant.

The fishing nets that have been used by grandparents for three lifetimes are actually not easy to use.

They do not intend to let their children continue to use this tattered fishing net, nor do they intend to let them continue to eat salted fish for the rest of their lives.

So today, many people from the Country of Waves moved here with their families in the originally peaceful residential area of ​​Jianyin Village.

The qualification test of Jianyin Village, which had reached a bottleneck period, has become popular again.

Terumi Mei looked at all this thoughtfully.

The school in Jianyin Village is just an extremely large wooden building. Looking at this building that was obviously created using wood escape, Terumi Mei was a little envious for a moment.

The school was already full of students. They placed their swords on the table and looked at Terumi Mei at the door curiously. Some of them seemed to recognize her, and their eyes changed slightly.

"Sister, I'm going in then."

"Well, go ahead, little Donghua."

Terumi Mei looked at the students inside who were whispering and discussing something with a smile. She didn't know what they were thinking.

"That's great. They can successfully graduate from the ninja school without having to fight each other." A voice suddenly sounded.

Terumi Mei turned around and saw an extremely beautiful long-haired boy.

white.

"Isn't that what Terumi Mei-sama thinks?" Bai turned his head and looked at her, asking with some confusion.

"What are you doing here?" Terumi Mei frowned. She didn't have a good impression of this guy who defected from Kirigakure's ninja pursuit force.

"Teach them lessons." Bai glanced at the students in the school and said softly.

"Hashirama said yesterday that you didn't join the Kengakure Village." Terumi Mei narrowed her eyes.

"That was yesterday," Shiro shook his head and explained calmly, "Also, 'we' did not join the Kirigakure Village. Mr. Zabuza is not suitable to be a teacher. Thanks to the worrying education level of Kirigakure Village, His impression of the ninja school is very stereotyped and bloody, and he can easily lead the students here to bad luck.”

"So, I am the only one who joins Jianyin Village as a teacher."

"It's rare for you to be separated." Terumi Mei said slightly sarcastically.

The combination of Zabuza and Haku once gave the people of Kirigakure's ninja troops a headache. Although this descendant of the Snow Clan, who has the limit of ice escape blood succession, is young, he is still like a little brother who only wants to behead the horse again, and is arrogant and jumpy. The undressed Zabuza has a very weak presence when standing together, but in fact his combat power cannot be underestimated. The Kirigakure tactical team speculates that his danger may be higher than that of Zabuza when his strength is fully unleashed.

And the most important thing is that he is young and has very high growth potential.

"Partnering doesn't mean we have to stick together all the time. He has other things to do. I also enjoy teaching in the Kengakure Village." As if he didn't understand the metaphor in Terumi Mei's words, Shiro looked at her gently. The ground smiled.

The smile slightly eased the hostility in Terumi Mei's heart. She shook her head, took two steps back, and made way for Shiro to enter.

The moment Shiro passed in front of him, Terumi Mei suddenly said: "Cherish your current life. I failed, but that does not mean that Kirigakure failed. Although it ranks at the bottom, Kirigakure Village... is... after all. One of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world."

Shiro's footsteps kept moving, but his voice was thrown back: "Then let Kirigakure Village cherish the days when it is still one of the five great ninja villages."

really!

Terumi Mei suddenly turned her head: "How long do you plan to attack Kirigakure Village?!"

Bai didn't explain anything to her. He just tapped the table with his fingers and smiled slightly under the stunned eyes of the students:

"Hello everyone, I am your new teacher, Bai. From now on, I will be responsible for teaching you assassination subjects, one of the practical ninja combat subjects."

"Today is the first day of class. I won't teach you anything too difficult for now. I just want to ask you one thing. Do you have anyone you want to assassinate?"

"Oh, Cardo... He said it all in unison, it seems he must be a very bad guy."

"Very good, then your future graduation exam will be to assassinate Cardo. If you can't kill him, just stay in the ninja school."

"Huh? Do you have any questions?"

"...You really ask...I'm a man, so I don't have a boyfriend." Bai replied with a smile.

The classroom fell into a strange and sad atmosphere.

Terumi Mei didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear, so she looked at the class twice before turning around and leaving.

Originally, he wanted to find Hashirama to confirm Shiro's statement, but Terumi Mei searched around the Kengakure Village but found no whereabouts of Hashirama.

She stood at the top of the nine-story building called Jianying Building, which was probably the main building of Jianyin Village built not long ago using wooden escape methods. She stood there for half an hour and found no special people or things. They did not wait for the intervention of the internal defense forces of this ninja village.

In the back mountain, there was already a long queue of people participating in the Kenyin Village qualification test. Terumi Mei was not clear about the form and content of the test. She was originally very interested in the method that could detect whether a person had ninja qualifications, but as long as When she got close to the back mountain, her heart would throb and hurt. From then on, Terumi Mei realized that the entire Kenyin Village was a huge prison for her.

But she didn't want to go anywhere in the prison. She was not welcome to go to the back hill of Jianyin Village.

In the country of waves, in a remote courtyard, Tsunade opened her eyes.

Consciousness is groggy.

The vision wavered.

The candlelight dispersed the darkness.

A somewhat familiar figure in a white coat kept wandering in front of her.

"Orochimaru...?" She whispered softly, as if the scene in her memory was reflected in reality.

Did he finally couldn't help but do something to himself...

The figure paused for a moment, seemed to turn his head and glanced at himself, and then continued to be busy.

When her consciousness finally became clear and her field of vision gradually came into focus, Tsunade looked at the young man close at hand and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Ning Qi!!" She growled, about to punch the beast, but she couldn't move no matter what.

She looked down and realized.

His hands and feet were tied.

Strange black needles pierced into the acupuncture points all over his body, unable to mobilize any chakra.

Memories are like doors opening on a ship, and they begin to flow.

She finally recalled why she was here!

Ning Qi used the flying thunder god's technique to sneak into their returning ship and assassinate her!

"You guys, what happened to them?!"

"You...bring me here, what exactly do you want to do??!" She roared angrily, spitting.

"You have so many problems." Ning Qi shook his head, but the movement in his hand did not stop at all. The huge syringe pierced Tsunade's well-defined arms. As the propeller was stretched back, the pain began to spread. Looking at The blood that he kept overflowing into the syringe was not only slowly changing his body, but the sudden haemorrhage was also constantly hitting Tsunade's fragile nerves.

"You guy..."

"I'm very interested in your body, but don't worry, I'm not a mad scientist, I don't want much." Ning Qi calmly comforted, and then pulled out the needle with force.

Tsunade raised her eyebrows again.

"...My body?" Her breath became particularly weak.

"Yes, it is your body, Master Tsunade, that was chosen by Shigulin, one of the three holy places." Ning Qi dropped the blood into the container that had been prepared.

"Is this...the purpose of why you tied me here...?" A mocking smile appeared on Tsunade's face.

"No, this is just a data reserve by the way," Ning Qi shook his head, "I have other uses for you, Tsunade-sama."

While talking, Tsunade looked around.

Roll your eyes.

Sharingan.

Seal scroll.

And the unknown green solution that exudes vigorous vitality and is somewhat familiar.

There is no doubt that this is Ning Qi's lair. All the trophies he took from Konoha are displayed around him.

She couldn't help but clenched her fists.

"...Are we still in the Land of Waves?" Tsunade asked directly.

"No more." Ning Qi said casually.

"I don't believe it." Tsunade raised the corners of her mouth slightly again.

"You will only force me to kill you." Ning Qi glanced at her. This woman was indeed very keen.

"It's not what I asked for." Tsunade shook her head vigorously.

"It's a boring trick." Ning Qi shook his head. This woman thought that if she angered herself, she would get what she wanted and die calmly?

That's a little too self-righteous.

Tsunade was a little silent. Her body's strong recovery power worked hard to relieve the fainting sensation caused by blood loss. This was probably another reason why Ning Qi was curious about her body.

She looked at Ning Qi's white coat at this time, which was a replica of Orochimaru...

"...How long has it been since I passed out?" she asked, looking a little bored.

"3 days." Ning Qi replied calmly while preparing a solution to maintain the activity of the extracted Tsunade's blood.

Tsunade opened her mouth, her heart pounding, and she suddenly felt nervous:

"...How is the war in Konoha...going on?"

Ning Qi suddenly paused. He stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and stared at Tsunade quietly.

This look made Tsunade's whole body hairy.

No way……

"You...talk..." she urged, acting like a little girl.

"In order to avoid Konoha's spies, Kumogakure borrowed a surprise attack from Sunagakure Village to attack Konoha..."

Ning Qi paused, lowered his head and continued busy.

"Konoha has been destroyed. Jiraiya and his remaining troops have evacuated from the Iwagakure battlefield and are currently missing."
