Chapter 54 Mission
Just as Konoha was undergoing intense entrance exams, Tsunade woke up in the Kawanokuni Hotel.

Princess Konoha turned over and stared blankly at the clean table——

There were no empty bottles, no sweet and bitter smells in her mouth, no sounds like a deafening bombardment in her head.This is not the feeling of waking up after a hangover, Tsunade has not experienced it for too long.

She got up in silence, and gently opened the paper door in the inner room with her fingers.There was no one in the living room, only a table that was not the same as a few days ago was placed in the center of the room, and the breakfast prepared for her was placed on it.

"Jing Yin, whose subordinate is it..."

As soon as Tsunade guessed, he knew that she was going to take care of the "patient" for the firecracker kid again, and he was quite speechless holding his forehead.

But since he didn't drink, it seemed that Jing Yin didn't need to take care of her.Tsunade sat down unhappily, staring at the breakfast in front of him in a daze——

The last time I ate the first meal of the day at breakfast time, I didn't know when it was.

The night before yesterday, Tsunade, who was drowsy from drinking, was woken up again by Purgatory Kyojuro who returned from earning money, saying that he wanted to have dinner with her.

Tsunade was so angry that his teeth were itching. Although he didn't eat much for dinner, he made a bet with the other party in a daze.

The two agreed to arm-wrestle, if the firecracker-headed brat could hold on to her for half a minute, she would stop drinking before leaving the country; if Xing Shoulang persisted for less than half a minute, the medical expenses would be doubled.

These two bets were proposed by Xing Julang, but no matter whether he wins or loses, it seems that they can't bring him any practical benefits, so Tsunade agreed on the principle of "why not take advantage of the advantage". .

But who would have thought that without using Chakra, Tsunade would not be Kyojurou's opponent, that kid's strength is truly frightening.

After a brief contact, Tsunade felt the majestic physical energy and extremely vigorous vitality from Kyojuro's body, which meant her previous guess - that Kyojuro might be a member of grandma Uzumaki Mito —was confirmed.

Various thoughts flooded into his mind, and Tsunade's heart panicked at that time.

But when she remembered to use chakra, the fragile wooden table immediately collapsed in two, and Jing Yin happily announced that 30 seconds had expired.

As expected, Tsunade lost the bet again.

When she wakes up, she wants to repent, but looking at those sunny, caring eyes like a family member, she can't say what she said, she can only admit it.

She hadn't had a drink for nearly 36 hours by now, but the imagined ghosts of her past hadn't intruded into her dreams to haunt her.

At the dinner table, Tsunade squeezed his fingers nervously.

Even if you don't come yesterday, what about today, what about tomorrow?

As long as that brat is still here, the memories buried deep in her heart will be exposed to the sun sooner or later.

Thinking of this, she didn't care about eating anymore, and hurriedly opened the paper door of the living room, thinking of going to the hotel yard to catch her breath.But after she opened the door, she was surprised to find that Jing Yin was hugging Tu Tu, sitting quietly on the outdoor terrace.

In the middle of the courtyard, the children who had been detoxified were sitting on the landscape stones, and Purgatory Xingshoulang was sitting opposite them with his back to the sun.

"Master Tsunade."

Tsunade hadn't seen Shizune's smile for a long time, and the pride and satisfaction contained in it were completely different from the sham smiles and wry smiles of apology when facing creditors.

However, this expression is quite common on the face of that firecracker-headed brat.

【Is this infected...】

"What are you doing, didn't that brat go to make money today?"

Tsunade's eyes lined up and looked over, but his tone was still very impatient, "Why is he here during the day now!"

Just seeing him for an hour or two every night is enough to make Tsunade uncomfortable.

It was obviously not related to her, but the little ghost looked at her like a child would look at a seriously ill parent, coupled with those overly positive and irrelevant words, it hit Tsunade's endurance limit all the time.

It turned out to be good now, he was actually there during the day! ! !

She didn't know that no matter it was the color of her hair; her drunken speech patterns that didn't care about anything; Makijuro is very similar.

"That's it, Tsunade-sama! Last night, Kyojuro exchanged the remaining detonating charms for money, and helped the guards in the town catch a fugitive on the way, and was rewarded by the mayor."

Jing Yin happily narrated, touched her pocket where she put money, "Now, all the consultation fees have been collected!"

When she said this, she was not happy that she received the money, but was excited because Xing Shoulang had fulfilled the harsh conditions.

Tsunade raised his eyebrows and said, "Then we can leave today?"

The smile on Shizune's face faded, and the reluctance in his eyes strengthened Tsunade's determination to leave as soon as possible.

Let Jing Yin get along with that brat again, I'm afraid she will soon be brainwashed by that inexplicable positivity.

"Only the child with the most unstable poison sac remains, and his operation has not yet been performed."

Mute replied, "He is the last one."

"Then why aren't you ready?"

Tsunade looked at the six children sitting together in the courtyard, the eagerness in his tone could be clearly noticed.

"The problem now is that the kid doesn't want to have the surgery."

Jing Yin shook his head, "Xing Shoulang called them over, probably to persuade him."

"It's really nosy... Wouldn't it be better to just knock him out?"

On the one hand, Tsunade really complained about Xing Julang, and on the other hand, he regretted that he had given the antidote formula.

Detoxifying these children is certainly convenient for silent surgery, but after they wake up and have their own ideas, troubles will increase.

She sat next to Jingyin, scooped up the porcupine porpoise and plated it up by herself, but concentrated on where Xing Shoulang was, and listened quietly.

……

"There is no need to do anything for me anymore, because I don't want to live anymore."

The conversation taking place in the courtyard sounded too commonplace in the Country of Rain, but in this prosperous town that hadn't fought a war for a long time, it was a bit shocking.

"Why do you say that?!"

Purgatory Xingshou Lang's eyes were piercing, even though he had hair that looked like fire, he didn't reveal any violent emotions.

"I don't know what your purpose is to save us. But I have nothing left, and this life is not worth 10 taels."

The child who refused the operation was the oldest among the six, and also the one who knew the world the longest. It was a bit scary to be pessimistic.

At this moment, there was no joy in his eyes at all, but a lifeless gray in his eyes.

"People like us don't die because of what's in their bodies, but they will also be killed for various other reasons for no apparent reason.

"In this world where ninjas are rampant, the lives of ordinary people are worthless, especially for helpless orphans like us. You saved us today, but you are only delaying something that will definitely catch up. It doesn't make any sense at all... "

His words obviously stirred up the restless hearts of the other children.

Frightened throbbing gradually appeared in their expressions, and Jing Yin, who was listening, also clenched his fists nervously.

After working hard to treat them but hearing such words, it is inevitable that they will be touched.

But Purgatory Xingshoulang still has no intention of stopping him from speaking.

"All in all, I don't want to owe you anything, and I don't want to do anything for you. I'm just a kid who no one cares about, and no one cares when I die. If you really want to do something, let me fend for myself Bar."

The teenager lowered his eyelids, "At least dying under the anesthesia of the toxin sounds less painful."

The vortex of despair spread out from him, and even the grass and trees in the courtyard seemed to hang down a little.

The other younger children didn't have any firm ideas at all, and all of them looked gloomy at this time, full of fear and guard against the unknown future.

"How do you know no one cares about you?!"

Purgatory Xing Shou Lang's voice is loud, but his tone is as steady as the smoke on the roof of the hotel rising into the clear sky, making people wonder whether he is angry or not.

The boy's exhausted expression clearly reminded him of something extremely painful.

Before he could speak again, Xing Shoulang had already said: "This is just your idea, not the truth!

"Not only do I care about your life and death, but the person who helped us escape from the fort also cares about your safety!

"Besides, in the cost of your treatment, there is also the heart of the 'angel' from the Kingdom of Rain!"

Xing Shoulang's answer surprised them a little. The existence of "angels" has always been an important consensus among the children of the Land of Rain.

Hearing that such people also contributed to their treatment, the eyes of the children finally became radiant.

"So, don't immerse yourself in the desert-like world of your own imagination, and belittle yourself!

"The fact that you are still alive means a lot to me! I feel very honored to have played a role in saving your lives. Just based on this alone, you are not worthy of me. What a debt at all! I don't need any other rewards!"

His voice is full of sincerity, deafening, and his unwavering smile dispels the surrounding haze like sunshine.

But because Anjurou's speech was so uncommon, the children felt dizzy for a while, and even Tsunade on the terrace squinted his eyes in confusion, with an expression of whether I drank too much in a dream.

On the contrary, Jing Yin, who has gradually synchronized with Xing Shoulang these days, seems to be able to fully understand what he means.

"Did you make a mistake..."

The young man looked around, "We are not the children of some nobles, what honor is there to save us?"

Xing Shoulang was silent for a while, and narrated with a look of reminiscence.

"Before my mother passed away, she once told me that the reason why I was born with a strong body is to protect those who are weaker and unable to protect themselves, but I must never rely on this power bestowed by God to satisfy my own desires ! And we must not let this power be abandoned and idle because of falling into the quagmire of sorrow!"

When Tsunade heard the last sentence, his eyebrows trembled for no reason, and his lips were pursed even tighter.

"From then on, I understood that I, who was born stronger than others, must regard saving the fragile lives of others as my survival goal and mission! Try my best to let everyone live until the day when they find their own mission, so that they My life can also be perfected! Isn't this worthy of my honor?!"

"..."

The young man felt slightly shocked, and seemed to understand the reason why Xing Shoulang wanted to save them, but he still retorted: "You are very strong, but we are very weak, and it is very difficult for the weak to survive, so how can we talk about such a high-sounding mission?" ..."

"The word powerful is not just used to refer to the physical body, young man!"

Purgatory Xingshoulang stood up, his golden red eyes swept over the faces of all the children one by one.

"Among more than 100 people, only a few of you survived! At such a young age, you have escaped the pursuit of death. Do you really think that this is just luck?
"Maybe for the time being, you still only think of yourself as a victim, and sooner or later you will die in other disasters, dying meaninglessly!
"But if you can take the pain you have encountered as food for growth instead of an excuse for stagnation, then you will understand that you are still a survivor, and the disaster you have endured will give birth to a new self. You You are stronger than others, you understand how to struggle in the quagmire of despair, and you know how to deal with difficulties, this is your strength, and there is no essential difference from mine!"

Xing Shoulang walked among the children, half knelt down, and gathered them in front of him.Those children seemed to be touched, and their faces were slightly red with excitement.

"I know that you are all in pain right now, because of the loss of your parents, because of the cruel treatment you have suffered.

"You will imagine, what would happen if the reality is not like this? You will also think, what should you do if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future? To be honest, I can't teach you to withdraw from this fantasy world and accept real reality!

"But I know that the more vulnerable a person is, the more important it is how he chooses to use his time!

"The longer you stay like this, the harder it is to get out of it. Even a man as powerful as my father is still dragged into it. But you still have a chance, at least, while you can still remember their faces... Think about your lost parents and family members, if they know that after their death, you fall into this kind of situation where life is worse than death and you cannot extricate yourself, can they get peace?"

All the children raised their eyes, and Tsunade clenched his fists as if he had been hit hard.

"Don't hide in a pond to escape a downpour. It's okay to be sad, but don't be sad for too long.

"As long as you don't lose yourself, your dead relatives will understand that they didn't really lose you! Even in the underworld, they will smile with relief."

Xing Shoulang's words are so firm because he has experienced it himself, so the appeal is extraordinary.

He put his hand on the shoulder of the oldest boy.

"So, undergo surgery, get rid of that dangerous thing, and prolong your life as long as possible until the day you find your mission, okay? At that time, you are willing to give your life for your mission, and I will never stop you.

"Only by doing nothing and giving up survival, everything you have experienced is really meaningless, what do you think?!"

A strange warmth gradually filled the boy's body along his shoulders.He didn't answer, but nodded heavily, and then tears poured out continuously, and then he burst into tears.

The other children looked similar, obviously recalling their own family members, which touched their hearts.

However, Xing Shoulang just looked at them gently and did not stop them.Emotional release at this time, but for them, it has far-reaching meaning.

Shizune watched everything quietly, her heart was surging, the next moment, she noticed Tsunade-sama beside her suddenly got up, took a handful of change from her and left.

"Master Tsunade—"

"It's ready for surgery, I'll wait for you at the station on the outskirts of the town."

Tsunade said without looking back, "Don't make me wait too long, you understand?"

As she spoke, she opened the curtain of the courtyard and strode out, but when facing the sun, Jing Yin saw a glint of crystal reflection in the corner of her deflected eye.
