Inside the room, light-colored tatami mats were neatly arranged, with three beds on top. One of them was empty, while the other two looked like they were sleeping soundly: Shirahoshi, who was pretending to sleep, and Might Guy, who was talking in his sleep with bubbles coming out of his nose and drool at the corner of his mouth.
"Honey, I really can't eat anymore."
"..."
"Kai, quickly call him Dad."
"..."
"Daddy's here!"
Shirahoshi: "......"
I'll fuck you—
Developing the habit of being half-asleep and half-awake was entirely a training process, but as a result, Dai, who was talking in his sleep next to me, made me afraid to relax and sleep at all.
"Since you like talking in your sleep so much, then you can go and comfort Nawaki!"
"Water Release: Water Droplet!"
With a slight movement of chakra, a small water droplet floated out of Shirahoshi's mouth, and the next second it flew towards Might Guy's dream bubble, puncturing Guy's sweet dream with a "plop".
"Ah."
Dai sat up abruptly, his eyes still heavy with sleep. He glanced around, then lay back down, only to sit up again. It was then that he noticed the boy in the moonlight by the window.
"Rope Tree? Why aren't you asleep?"
Seeing Dai awaken, the brown-haired boy, feeling dejected, didn't even notice that the tatami floor was slightly damp with water droplets. "I'm sorry, Uncle Dai, did I disturb your rest?"
"No, I just woke up. Let's keep our voices down and not disturb Shirahoshi's sleep. He took down a Chunin today, he's probably exhausted." Might Guy's voice lowered as he moved as quietly as possible to Nawaki's side.
Shirahoshi, who was still awake: "......"
Did you let me sleep?!
But now I can go to sleep.
Suddenly, Rope Tree spoke up: "Uncle Dai, have you ever killed anyone?"
Dai was stunned for a moment, then said, "Killed them."
"They are a group of assassins who want to earn bounties."
"I didn't want to kill him, that person... looked quite pitiful."
"But Bai Xing wanted me to kill him, saying that if I let this kind of person go, he would hold a grudge against me and take revenge on my family in the future."
Dai scratched his cheek and continued:
"so."
"The thought of my family being retaliated against made me choose to kill him."
"Where's Ms. Nonou? And Ms. Mikoto?" Nawaki asked curiously.
Matt Day recalled the scene from back then, and after a moment, he smiled wryly:
“Them.”
"It's also very difficult."
"The first time I killed someone, I felt like I had destroyed the life values I had cultivated over a long period of time."
"But ninjas."
"It was necessary to kill him."
“If we don’t kill them, they will kill us.”
"only......"
"Just what?"
Suddenly, Might Guy looked at Nawaki seriously and placed his hands on the boy's shoulders: "Nawaki, you must never become a ninja who kills indiscriminately. Before killing, you must adhere to the principles in your heart."
"If you become a ninja who kills indiscriminately."
"I won't care about companions anymore."
"The moment a ninja loses his/her belief in protecting others, he/she ceases to be a ninja."
"Or."
"No longer human."
"Instead, he is a monster who lives only for himself."
The air remained silent for a long time. At this moment, Shirahoshi, unable to sleep because of Dai's words, thought of a certain snake and a certain white-haired Jonin in the village who claimed to be an immortal...
The brown-haired boy standing in front of Dai seemed to understand what was going on, nodded slightly, and a smile returned to his face.
"I see."
"I understand!"
"We are ninjas of Konoha, and we need to protect Konoha Village. While protecting the village, we also need to protect our families."
"so."
After speaking, Nawaki regained his resolute youthful expression, his tone serious:
"As long as I hold fast to my beliefs and protect what I want to protect, that's enough!"
"That's it! Young man! To celebrate your realization of the truth of life, let's run a hundred laps around the City of Whirlpools together tomorrow!"
Rope Tree: "......"
"No, no, no—" Rope Tree waved his hand, "Let's forget about this, we have a mission tomorrow."
"Could it be..." Might Guy leaned closer, his gaze gradually magnifying in Rope Tree's eyes, "You're scared?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Phew.
After the two men shouted, they heard the sound of someone turning over behind them. Only then did they realize that Bai Xing was still resting. They cautiously looked over and, finding that Bai Xing had not been woken up, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Monster?"
"Perhaps, I already am."
Bai Xing smiled bitterly to herself, but then regained her resolve: whatever dream or goal she wanted to achieve, she needed to eliminate her enemies.
Since ancient times, justice has swept away evil and light has defeated darkness, but as long as my power is sufficient, I am justice and light!

The next day, the first squad continued to hold the outer edge of the forest, while the Hidden Mist ninja, having lost four Chunin, abandoned their attack. The main reason was that the Hidden Mist squad that went to ambush Yamanaka Kazutsuka failed, being outmaneuvered by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. In the end, the captain was left behind, two Chunin died, and the remaining Chunin all went to a sea outpost in the Land of Water where they had previously attacked Konoha to report.
The area between Konoha's No. 1 and No. 2 naval outposts is the territory of the Land of Whirlpools.
At this point, outpost number 2 had been completely destroyed.
When the other garrison at Point 1 withdrew, they destroyed the buildings and equipment, leaving only a pile of broken tiles and bricks on the ground. However, the Kirigakure ninja who arrived later rebuilt it into a temporary resting point.
boom!
"A team of eleven."
"Six elite Chunin from Kirigakure have died, and Kouichi, the Jonin, is dead too! Why didn't you four go and die with them?!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Mizukage!" x4
“If we weren’t in urgent need of manpower right now, I could execute you all on the grounds of mission failure.”
"Spare me!!" x4
"But considering the mission isn't over yet, I'll give you one more chance. If you fail again, be prepared to commit seppuku!"
"get out!"
"Yes!" x4
Inside the blue and white layered tents of the encampment, four Kirigakure chunin left with their heads bowed. Inside, a man with a white buzz cut sat, resting his chin on his hand, pondering the words of the four Kirigakure chunin:
"Build a ship and leave?!"
"Don't even think about it."
"Somebody come!"
"Lord Shui Jing!"
Hozuki Suikyo rose from his chair, his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) expression sweeping over the Kirigakure Chunin in front of him:
"Tonight we'll regroup and rest, and at the same time collect supplies from the base. Take what you can, and destroy everything else you can't. Don't leave anything for the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Hozuki Suikyo nodded slightly, his tone turning serious. He picked up the ninja sword at his waist, drawing it slightly, a flash of white light reflecting in his eyes:
"We'll set off at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning."
"All Hidden Mist ninja, follow me to ambush that 'Noah's Ark' attempting to escape!"
"Yes!!"
After the special Jonin from Kirigakure left, Hozuki Mizukage slowly closed his eyes:
"Che, Yuyouwei, Huiyi. I will avenge you!"
'We will absolutely not let the Uzumaki ninja and those Konoha ninja get their way!'
'absolute!'
While Hozuki Suikyo was still planning for tomorrow, little did he know that someone had already set their sights on them.
Chapter 67 The Horn of Konoha's Counterattack (Seeking First Subscriptions 8/10)
As night fell, darkness quietly enveloped the surroundings. The Hidden Mist ninjas began to relax their guard slightly that night. On the watchtower, about five meters high, the Hidden Mist ninja on guard yawned.
Just then, a man's head with black spiky hair emerged from the surface of the dark tide, followed by a group of ninjas wearing Konoha headbands.
Besides the captain in charge, there were a total of sixty-five ninjas, none of whom were below the rank of Chunin.
