After the destruction of [Whirlpool Kingdom].
Xianglin and her mother wandered to [Kusanin Village].
To escape pursuit, to seek shelter, to raise her daughter.
Xianglin's mother had to succumb to the power of the Grass Ninja Village and reach an agreement with her.
By sacrificing herself and using her healing physique, she helped many ninjas in Kusakunin Village heal and recover from their injuries.
Only then did the mother and daughter barely get a chance to survive.
Because of this, the information about Xiang Lin and his mother was also tightly sealed by the [Grass Ninja Village].
To avoid being known to other ninja villages.
Therefore, the mother and daughter have been arranged to live in a secret and dilapidated wooden house outside the village.
Only when needed, people from the Kusanagi Village would come to pick up Xiang Lian's mother.
Then, maybe all night long;
Maybe for several days in a row;
He was sucked and squeezed by one grass ninja after another until he was on the verge of reaching his limit.
Only then could she drag her tired body, hide the tooth marks all over her body, bring food and daily necessities, and return to this wooden house with difficulty...
Weak, lonely, plus the crime of "carrying a jade".
obviously.
Even if the remnants of [Whirlpool Kingdom] escaped.
It is difficult to survive in this cruel ninja world.
After all, there are too many people who covet the abilities of the Uzumaki clan...
For this reason, mother and daughter chose one.
The most painful and difficult path, but at least you can survive.
…
At this moment, the outskirts of Kusanagi Village were a thousand meters away.
In a dilapidated cabin.
Xiang Ling, who had just turned eight years old, was sitting on the bench, struggling to pour a basin of water into the pot, and was about to start boiling water for cooking.
After all, my mother was taken away again yesterday evening.
Today's lunch needs to be prepared by herself.
And, with luck, mom can still make it back before lunch.
So she must prepare lunch early.
After all, she has to live independently when her mother is gone...
This is also what her mother taught and warned her countless times:
[Even if you are alone, you must work hard to survive! 】
…
"boom--"
The ground shook and the houses shook.
Xiao Xianglan, who was cooking, was startled.
"Is it an earthquake?"
The shaking quickly subsided and the house did not collapse.
Xiao Xianglan breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and continued cooking.
But less than two minutes passed.
"Dong dong dong!"
Outside the house, a series of dull knocks on the door suddenly sounded, frightening Xiang Ling into a sudden start.
He stumbled and fell down from the wooden bench.
The fallen Xiang Ling ignored the pain on his body and huddled up in a ball, not daring to open the door.
After all, except for mom.
The only ones who will find this are those bastards from the Grass Ninja Village!
"Dong dong dong!"
The knock on the door rang again, and Xiang Lu was even more frightened.
She didn't want to face those bastards at all, so she had to hide in the house as much as possible to escape.
After a while.
"Click——"
The inner door bolt was easily broken by an invisible force.
The door opened, and a figure pushed in.
"Moses Moses! Are you alone at home?"
The young man's voice made everyone in the room startled.
She opened her eyes and looked.
Only then did he realize that what was shining in along with the sunlight was not the bastard from the Grass Ninja Village.
Instead, he was a teenager who looked very young and a little handsome.
"you……"
The girl raised her head and looked at Natsume in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
However, the fear in her heart was diluted a lot by the warm sunshine and the boy's voice.
"Fragrant phosphorus, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Are you alone at home?"
"Yes, it is."
Natsume was speechless after receiving the answer.
He immediately looked back at the three grass ninja village elders behind him, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The three elders immediately fell to their knees and hurriedly defended:
"That's right, that's right!"
"I remember that the child's mother was taken away yesterday..."
"If there is a need over there in [Ghost Lantern City], I will temporarily send them there to treat the injured!"
"The person responsible for picking him up is an ANBU ninja. We don't know very well!"
In order to survive, this elder explained very neatly and did not dare to hide anything.
Have no idea!
This young man is so ruthless, the kind who will kill someone if he doesn't agree with him.
He doesn't want to die yet!
I had to obey as much as possible.
"Sent to [Ghost Lantern City]?"
"Is it such an unlucky thing?"
"The person should still be alive, right? If he dies, you can go down and be buried with him..."
"Alive, definitely alive!"
The elder echoed tremblingly.
Although, he was actually not sure in his heart.
"Tsk."
Natsume glanced at the three elders for the last time and spat.
I don't even bother to draw my sword to kill this kind of trash.
The knife is simply dirty...
As a result, he passed by the three people and continued to say to the girl in the room:
"Let's go, take you to see your mother!"
Now that we are here, we just want to take away the fragrant phosphorus together.
Anyway, I have to go to [Ghost Lantern City] later, so I just want to take it with me along the way.
Xiang Phosphorus was a little dazed.
Still confused about the current situation.
She had seen the three old men kneeling on the ground in colorful clothes and masks before.
He is a big shot in [Kusa Ninja Village]!
Every time the strong grass ninja who came to take away his mother had to show respect to these old men.
That's why she couldn't understand.
How could such a big shot kneel in front of this young man with such fear?
He is not much older than me, right?
Is his identity unusual?
Although very confused and confused.
But Xiang Phosphorus still obeys her mother’s instructions:
"No! I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait here for my mother to come back!"
"I'm not going anywhere!"
Very stubborn and stubborn.
Seeing this, Natsume also felt a little pain in her head.
It is indeed difficult to deal with a girl of this age who is difficult to reason with.
However, Natsume didn't have time to linger here.
We have to take some tough measures.
next moment.
Natsume flicked her finger and shot out a small stream of chakra, which instantly hit Xiao Xianglan's neck.
Knock it out.
Then, he stepped forward and picked up the girl on the ground.
The girl's body was soft, as if made of water.
Of course, Natsume has no evil intentions.
Although in all fairness.
She has a delicate figure, beautiful appearance, and bright red hair. She is indeed very cute.
However, his age is indeed still young.
Natsume doesn't have any weird Xp.
Of course, I wouldn't have any thoughts about a little girl.
How to say.
You have to wait two more years, two more years of development!
Soon, Natsume, who was carrying fragrant phosphorus, dodged and disappeared in an instant.
And rushed towards the [Ghost Lantern City] in the north.
Only three elders of the Grass Ninja Village were left, still lying on the ground, shivering...
…
