MTL - Naruto Caged Bird-Chapter 51 : sad soldiers

At dusk, the emerald green necklace of life was still swaying around Senju Naoshu's neck, but at this time it was a little scarlet by the setting sun. After only one mission, it has already taken on the color of fresh blood, and the twinkling stars are becoming more and more alluring.

Finally, the seven women rescued by the fifth class were escorted back to the poor village. Amidst the howls and wailing of the villagers when they learned that all the bandits were gone, Hatake Sakumo said to his back, "Mission completed, return to the village." Then led the team of three who had completed the "C" level task for the first time, and started walking on the way back and forth.

On the way back, there is no joy after completing the task as in the anime in memory; there is no villagers cheering and waving goodbye to their new life; and there is no expectation of "goodbye" and "next time to play". Some just walked on the way back to the village under the worried, awed and fearful eyes of the villagers after a few words of gratitude from the village chief.

This village will not hope to see outsiders again for a long time, and it will also take a longer period of time to forget and restore the peaceful and prosperous "Joan" village in the past.

In the 31st year of Konoha, the war has not yet come, but the life of civilians has already begun.

In the morning, the fifth shift set off facing the rising sun and passion. At this time, the sun was still 30 degrees away from the horizon, and 19 lives with their own sins disappeared forever in front of the three of them. There is also a woman who has chosen her own destiny, but at this moment, the three of them don't even want to think about it. The woman who picked up the butcher knife to end others and herself.

The three held their own hearts, and followed Hatake Sakumo step by step, wanting to return to Konoha as soon as possible.

The road that started and ended has passed again. When passing by this place for the third time, the corpses of the bandits on both sides had already been buried deep underground by Sakumo Hatake's soil cave. All that was left was blood that dried up on the ground like a meandering stream.

From red to black.

Looking at the increasingly lush and green trees on both sides of the road, the day difference at this time seems to recall that childhood rumor:

"Gently throw away the soil on the ground, and plant a flower or a sapling. When I pass by again, I always find that they grow so lush and gorgeous. I didn't really know until this time that the soil here is How nutritious!" Rizai kicked his feet lightly, letting the soil bury the red patch under his feet.

The thousand-armed rope tree behind him also seemed to have stopped. Seeing the strips of soil that have been dyed in color, it seems that I really want to take a few shots of water to wash the clean and beautiful forest path when I passed by it for the first time like a cottage. My own water escape seems to be much better than other ninjutsu in washing away unclean things, at least it looks much cleaner than the teacher's earth escape after hastily buried.

"Let's go!".

Nissai called out to the rope tree hanging at the back of the line, and then accompanied Mikoto, who was still silent, half a step away. The dawdling rope tree looked at the two people who suddenly walked side by side with the pain in his left hand, and walked behind them silently.

Today, facing his own kindness for the last time, Hatake Sakumo taught the bandits who fled in the direction of Qiongzhi Village after letting them go, "cut the weeds and eradicate the roots". If not, the gore might not stop there?

It was not until Sakumo Hatake walked through this intersection again that the words left at that time seemed to echo in the forest beside the road, "If you want to survive, kill one of the three of them!" In the face of the ninjas, it no longer works, until the three surviving become the final test.

 …

At dusk, I finally returned to Konoha before the sun went down.

Finally, until what is the fifth class of C-level missions, each of them was dying to disband, and they returned to the place where they were home to mend their hearts.

"Have you eaten?" Three mothers with different surnames asked almost at the same time!

"Have eaten." "Uh~~~!" "Um~." Three different answers, Hyuga Senju Uchiha.

This night, under the moonlight, the sun difference waved and slapped the tree trunk in front of him even more forcefully, as if to vent the anger in his heart. Because, the "heart" could no longer calm down, and the silver moonlight in front of my eyes seemed to be scarlet.

Hearing the word eat, Senju Nawaki retched. Looking at the pork belly meat on the table in front of him with a mournful face, it was all his favorite meat, "uh~~". Since ancient times, the youth of Erbi have always been happy, and Tsunade seems to give him care and condolences on purpose!

The demure Miqin is even more quiet today, curled up on her little bed and looking at the moon outside the window, in vain. Alone in Uchiha, enjoying the "quietness" that Nizashi wants most at this time.

Instructor, Hatake Sakumo?

Alone, Sakumo Hatake wrote quietly under the candlelight. At this time, he was not his father, and this room still belonged to him alone.

The ninja file opened on the desk records:

Hatake Sakumo: Jonin.

S task: 17; A task: 103; B task: 216; C task: 334; D task: 206. (Official information equivalent reduction)

Then he picked up the book pressed on the ninja manual, flipped through the thick book that had already been written. I finally turned to the blank page that belongs to today, and then began to write:

Konoha 31 years a certain day;

The fifth class's first C-level mission, to eliminate violence and safety, has been completed.

Mission objective: All 19 robbers were killed. Hinata Hinata killed 3 people, Senju Nawaki killed 1 person, and UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Uchiha Mikoto killed 0 people.

The most important lesson of "ninja" "killing" has not been completed. Yesterday's plan and assumption, each of the three members of the team experienced at least one killing by themselves (2/3), the plan failed.

 …

Hatake Sakumo habitually wrote down today's task summary in his notebook, and found that the plan he had envisioned for so many years was the only one that failed to materialize today. Where did the disclosure appear, or did I think too much about the bloodiness of the Uchiha clan?

Dim candlelight, silver short hair for the first time in many years because of "Hyuga Senju Uchiha" hesitated to think?

What should the ninja team do next after experiencing blood and killing for the first time? ?

This question seemed to be difficult for the former Hatake Sakumo himself. It seemed that there were not many things worth remembering and choosing except for the execution and killing of tasks.

Thinking of Senju Nawaki's sunshine and positiveness, Uchiha Mikoto's demure and kindness, and Hinata's...? How should this disciple evaluate himself? For the time being, I seem to be unable to define myself who has always been good at analysis!

Hatake Sakumo, who had always analyzed and planned his tasks thoroughly, discovered for the first time that how to arrange the next tasks and guidance for these children was so difficult. As a result of the fusion of different personalities, Hatake Sakumo, who has always been used to being rigorous and planning everything, encountered difficulties for the first time in many years.

So, the next step is to execute...!

What?

,,,,,,

(Starting to lay out Hatake Sakumo's thought transition, how to gradually transform from a ninja who completed the task 100% to a teacher, White Fang, a hero, a father, and finally a sinner?)
