Uchiha's Counterattack

Chapter 237 Return too late.

When Kuroizumi's team merged with the logistics team led by Zaemon who came to greet him.

A few more days passed.

Because the mountainous area is relatively complicated, and the villagers living there are scattered, so although the Uchiha Gendarmerie and thousands of soldiers seem to be a lot, in fact, they can't even splash a splash in the mountains.

In the past few days, Heiquan left early and returned late, leading the gendarmerie to search for human traces in the mountains.Fortunately, her hard work paid off, and she managed to find all the six villages shown on the map, with about 500 people, without the help of a portable photo.

When Heiquan went to a village, he would arrange the most famous person in the village first.

For example, the village head or Lizheng (township head), if there are neither of them, then just put the oldest person living in the village, and this kind of person is generally called an elder.

This is an era of wildness. These people living in the mountains have generally never left their hometowns for 50 miles. Some women may have never walked out of this mountain in their entire lives. But the good news is that they at least know where they live. The country of fire, and the official ninja representative of the country of fire is Konoha.

When Heiquan revealed his identity, those villages welcomed him very warmly, and called Heiquan Master Ninja—although these villagers would call that to all ninjas.

Although Heiquan is a woman, she is full of heroic spirit. On the contrary, many villagers misunderstand her gender and treat her as a beautiful boy.The unmarried girl in the village hid behind the earthen wall, watching secretly with a shy face, her heart was full of excitement...

The eyes of the women around were like wolves seeing meat, which made Heiquan shudder.

Hastily raised his foot and kicked out Kotaro who was next to him. Kotaro has thick eyebrows, big eyes, good looks, and often likes to open his mouth and smile. That bright smile naturally gives people a positive, energetic, and energetic feeling.

As a result, all the women were instantly attracted by Kotaro, and carried away the bewildered Kotaro amid screams... and quickly disappeared into the alley of the village.

Then there was a burst of panic and anxiety, mixed with heart-piercing male screams.

"What do you want to do? What do you want to do! Don't come here!!"

……

In the cottage in the village:
"Elder, my name is Uchiha Izumi—you can call me Kuroizumi."

"Oh hehehe, Master Heiquan can visit this village, it is really an honor for this village."

Heiquan pushed back the surrounding gendarmes, and met the elder alone in the hut built of haystacks.

The elder sitting opposite the black spring looked to be in his 70s, with white hair messed up in the chicken coop, a beard hanging on his chest in a sprawling pattern, and there seemed to be messy yellow leaves and branches on it.This is a rough old man, and a village that is extremely poor.

Judging from the information given by the elders, this village is called Shigu Village, and it has no special characteristics. It is just an ordinary village. If you insist, Shigu Village is very poor. How poor is it?That is, the people with the highest status in the village live in thatched huts, while ordinary villagers live in cubes made of mud and stones...

That kind of building with rocks and mud mixed together can't even be called a house.

The elders of this village once went out to practice for a period of time when they were young, and they have some knowledge and level, so Heiquan is willing to sit down and have a good chat with this poor village, to see if they can bring the nearly [-] people here back to Mu Leaf village to go.

Heiquan has seen it. There are about 80 people in this village, both boys and girls.

It's just that no matter men or women, they are all in their prime of life or youth.

None of the nearly a hundred villagers was a white-haired old man—except for the one in front of him.

The reason is simple, this poor village has no surplus food and technology to support the elderly, so this village should have a rule that when the villagers reach a certain age, they will be driven away or killed to ensure that the younger generation The share of rations continues the reproduction of the village.

And the best evidence is the group of graves on the wasteland outside the village.

"Leaving Konoha will give you a new life."

Heiquan threw an olive branch to Shigu Village, if they agreed with New Konoha, they would permanently solve their food problem, so that this cruel system could come to an end.

"I am very sorry, but we cannot agree."

The elder didn't refuse immediately, but after hesitating for a moment, he slowly shook his head and refused.

Heiquan didn't know why.

Isn't the village very welcoming at the beginning?Why did you just say no to a sentence?

Are you kidding me old man?

The elders explained that their village has been living here for more than a hundred years, and the ancestors of all generations have never left this mountain range, so they are naturally born here and died here... This is their duty and destiny.

But Heiquan retorted that these so-called ancestors never left because they were nostalgic for this land, they had to stay because they couldn't leave.However, their helplessness and reproduction have been understood by future generations as a kind of duty and destiny arrangement, which is too funny.

Heiquan, she felt that this elder was just showing off.It seems that there is so much wisdom, but the brain is so pedantic.The most irritating thing is that as the head of a village, he doesn't think about the future, but instead keeps going at his own pace, regardless of the future of his descendants.

"Walk with us to have a better future."

Heiquan tried to explain to the old man that what he rejected was not malice, but kindness from New Konoha.

"Even Shinkonoha can't force us to change the customs of Shigu Village!"

The elder rejected Heiquan's invitation very seriously, and insisted that Shigu Village and all villagers should live according to the rules of their ancestors.

"But you are very poor, and you refuse at this time just because you don't understand the outside world."

"Your people are wandering in hunger and poverty, but when you have the opportunity to save them, you refuse? Is it because of the so-called customs? Or the rules set by the ancestors!?"

"This is Shigu Village's internal affairs, and has nothing to do with Xin Konoha."

Facing Heiquan whose tone was getting impatient, the elder said forcefully.

Heiquan said angrily, "If that's the case, then why didn't you die? There are no elderly people in the village, why can you live and not die? Is your life more important than those buried in random graves?" Is it important? He is obviously a pedantic feudal old man."

The elder fell into silence, why didn't he die?Naturally, it is because his status as an "elder" is protecting his life. If he hadn't traveled today and has more knowledge than other people in the village, I am afraid he would not be the elder, and he should have been buried as early as 23 years ago. up.

However, he survived, but his life was meaningless.

Relying on the name of the elder, he managed to survive but never made progress. For 23 years, he wasted his time, neither leading the villagers to be positive, nor leading them to abandon feudal habits. He had no effect on the village and was only used to maintain it. The tool, living for 23 years in vain, is even more blind to the knowledge and knowledge he has traveled so far.

Of course, at the beginning, this elder may also have an upward heart.

But I don't know why it may have failed once or twice.

But since then, he has completely given up.

When he gave up, the flame in his heart stopped burning. With the growth of time and age, the thoughts and vigor of his youth in the past are no longer there. At this time, his heart fire has been extinguished, his eyes have been darkened, and only the inaction is left. In 23 years, he was gradually assimilated and swallowed by this dark feudal village.

"This has nothing to do with you. I thought Mr. Ninja came to take care of our village to deliver food. It seems that you are just a group of villains who want to break the rules of Shigu Village. Go, go!"

The elder blushed and wanted to drive away Heiquan, but he didn't see the cold expression on the other side's face.

Now there are two paths before Heiquan, either leave here, or resist this atrocity.

Leaving would do no harm to Xin Konoha, and to Xin Konoha, the loss of a hundred and ten refugees was not worth mentioning, but Heiquan's heart was disgusted by the arrogance and arrogance of this elder, especially In contrast with Mingzhu (Xia Nan) in front of him, Heiquan couldn't wait to slap the old man to death.

"You can drive me away if you want, but I will take away the people in the village."

"No, they can't leave."

"Why can't you leave!?"

Heiquan glared at each other.

"They are all villagers of Shigu Village. They are born here and will die here. This is everyone's duty and the rules that should be followed. You, an outsider, broke into our village casually, angrily denounced our customs, and broke our rules. , still insisting that we accept your kindness?!"

The elder was very frightened, his legs became weak from fear.

No one dared to meet the angry Uchiha head-on, let alone Kuroizumi, who was always murderous.

But although the elder was scared to death, he confronted Heiquan with confidence, and what he said seemed to have some truth.

Heiquan was stunned for a moment, the guy really knows how to speak.

If it were Xia Nan who was here, he would definitely be hard on the old man, angrily telling others that their duty is not to endure poverty, to abandon their wives and children, to make the land a prison, and to trap themselves.These rules are called customs at best, but at worst they are a group of old society leftovers that lack the "revolution", and they have to be sent to the execution ground to shoot targets in special times.

And like the elders in this village, the poison is poisonous. If you want to clear the poison, you have to cut off the source.

To put it bluntly, it's to cut it off, but to put it bluntly, I'm going to kill you...

"You will destroy the villagers who choose to believe in you."

Heiquan gave the opponent a warning.

"Follow Konoha and leave here to get food, shelter, medical care and education."

"We don't need that, we're doing fine."

"Although we lack food, we are blessed by our ancestors. Although we also lack medicine, sticking to the rules of the village is the reason why we have been able to reproduce for nearly a hundred years."

"The bright colors outside of you are not suitable for the simple villagers here, they just need to stay here."

Heiquan sneered, got up and turned to leave.She felt that the elder was mentally ill, and instead of fighting for a bright future, he chose to stick to this barren mountainous area.

The two sides could no longer communicate, and the only reason why Heiquan resisted giving the old man an illusion was that Heiquan despised the other party to the extreme. The old man got it into the mountains to feed the wolves, otherwise it would be an eyesore.

Kuroizumi called all the Uchiha military police in front of the thatched cottage, and then called all the villagers in the entire village.

"I have a disagreement with the elder."

Simple and straightforward opening remarks.

Heiquan explained the conflict between her and the elder in the most concise and concise language.And gave the right of free choice to the villagers present.

"Are you willing to follow Xin Konoha and leave, or stay here?"

What is the tastiest fruit?
Naturally, the overripe, sweet and watery fruit tastes the best, while the most unpalatable fruit is naturally the rotten one.No one would choose the latter over the former, just as no one would choose poverty over wealth.Believe me, anyone who says they hate money and yearn for a natural life is a liar. They usually come from two positions and one common ground.

That is, people who hate money are either rich themselves, or very talented and never troubled by money, and the only thing they have in common is that they are never short of money.

So if someone advises you not to just care about wages and benefits, you should go to see the world more and experience the beauty of the world.Believe me, you should give him a hard punch and permanently blacklist this person, because this is a selfish, short-sighted, ignorant bastard.

Therefore - Heiquan is very confident that these villagers will make the right choice.

Until Heiquan found that the villagers' eyes became more and more strange.

………………

A deep trail is the only way to get out of the mountain.

"It doesn't make sense."

Heiquan walked at the front of the line, with a bewildered expression on his face.

Beside Heiquan was Kotaro, whose clothes and pants had been pulled out, staring at her with resentful eyes.What happened in the village is unbearable to look back on, and Kotaro feels that his own life is indifferent, it is completely gray.

But even though it was a bit sad, the experience was quite interesting.

At least Kotaro thought about it, his expression became H Taro...

"So what can't be said, my lord?"

"Those villagers who would rather die poor than stick to the rules."

"Oh~ you mean those people."

Huang... Kotaro let out a sigh, took the clothes handed over by the person next to him, and said while changing: "This is nothing to be sorry for, Master Heiquan. Those people are frogs at the bottom of the well, and they have never been out of the mountains to see them in their entire lives The outside world naturally doesn't know what they are missing."

"Master Xia Nan once said that the outside world is like a mirror. It can't give you anything. But it can make you see yourself clearly, whether you are ugly, beautiful, tall or short. People are like this, and the village is like that. So it is with countries. Without comparison there is no comparison, and without comparison there is no harm."

"The very idea of ​​those people choosing not to make progress and mistaking it for a belief in something is ridiculous in itself."

"In the final analysis, you are a frog in a well, how can you see the splendor of the outside world clearly?"

"They think they'll be fine if they live in that mountain range? If they stick to their ancestral graves and the rules, they'll be safe? Hey, anyone with a discerning eye can see what their fate will be in the future, but since they made their own choice and put We Uchiha drove them out, and they will naturally bear the consequences."

Heiquan thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the same reason.

"—Kutaro."

"Master Heiquan?"

"Because of our deterrence, a group of bandits were forced to flee into the mountains. The last place they appeared should not be far from that village, right?"

"It shouldn't be far."

"—you say we should go back and let them know?"

"..."

　I went to the hospital to help a girl send her grandma home, but I didn't count the time.I don't have a leave note, and the background service points are less than 100 points and there is no way to redeem them, so I dare not stop updating.
