I was careless, I was really careless this time. I didn't expect Orochi Ji to be so powerful. Not only did she see through the sneak attack in the middle of the night, but she was also able to respond in time. Half of the assassins were killed by her. However, so what if he was powerful? At least…he didn't disappoint Lord Hanzo. But then again, was this kid the Bright Night New Moon that those three guys treated like a treasure?
Shibuya looked at the little ghost in his arms. For the first time, a smile appeared on his stiff face.
" You're quite cute…"
However, when he thought of the situation that this little brat was facing and the beliefs that he had always upheld, the little bit of relief in his heart was immediately replaced by a long-term worry.
Shibuya's character and integrity made it so that he would not lay his hands on any women, children, or people who were powerless. After all, in such a situation, an enemy who had no strength to resist could not be called an enemy. Although the villagers had a lot of criticism about this, it was only used to evaluate whether he was qualified to gain Lord Hanzo's trust.
If you don't get rid of the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze?
In the face of absolute power, it was just a joke. As for the assassins, they were just jealous. Moreover, after experiencing this crushing defeat, what right did these people have to question him again?
Not bad. He, Shibuya Heizaburo, had always wanted to carry out the years where all enemies were strong enemies, but…Yes, but! Don't forget that before he became Shibuya Heisaburo, he had other identities. For example, he was the disciple of Ninja Demigod Hanzo, and he was a member of Rain Ninja Village.
There was a saying that every traitor had their own bitter past. At the end of the day, defecting was just a helpless act. In other words, as long as they weren't traitors, a ninja's loyalty to their village was unquestionable. Although the development of this world had long stripped away the power of the samurai, as the feudal monarchical system was still flourishing, some things were still stubbornly attached to the hearts of the people.
Would a ninja be loyal to the emperor?
Of course not.
The great generals of the five great nations regarded the ninjas as sharp weapons. In the ninjas 'eyes, wasn't the great name a guarantee for the flourishing development of the village?
Ninjas. Since they were ninjas, they were loyal to the shadows and the village.
The strong needed to be admired, and the village that gave birth to me needed more unity to protect it. ---- by Water God-The Door of a Thousand Hands
Taira Saburo knew that he was not a qualified ninja. At least, he was not ruthless enough. However, his passionate love and loyalty to the village was unparalleled, even if he was a Demigod Hanzo.
In any case, Hanzo's love for the village more or less contained his personal ambitions and dreams. However, Taira Saburo had never thought about this at all. Having lost his parents and brother long ago, he simply regarded this not-so-prosperous place as his home. This was perhaps the real reason Hanzo had taken a fancy to him.
To a Ninja village, one ambitious person was enough. No matter how much territory they expanded, they still needed an upright person to guard them. If this situation was put in the future, how similar would it be to the stalemate between Shimura and Naruto III?
However, a problem had arisen.
Should he go against his heart and protect the interests of the village, or should he stick to his heart and not trample on it easily?
Taira Saburo gently tapped the forehead of the little ghost in his arms and sank into a rare distress. He was now in the center of Yuren Village, in front of the only door of the tall building. Behind the door was the man who had become a demigod.
Pushing open the door, handing this little brat over to Hanzo, and then pretending that nothing had happened and continuing his life full of " perseverance "? Cheering loudly in the face of a possible victory?
Looking up, the stars in the night sky did not fade because of the departure of the night. Instead, they flickered with unknown flames in the time before dawn. The flames raged as if they were going to pierce through the sky.
Was it…Brother?
However, the morning star hanging in the sky did not land in the end. The rare brightness did not pierce through the night, but it did pierce through the hesitation in Saburo's heart.
Shibuya Heizaburo had a hobby that might seem very strange to others: He muttered to himself and stared blankly into the night sky. He stubbornly believed that his brother, who had died early, had turned into a star, watching him from thousands of miles away. Even if they were thousands of miles away, the connection between brothers could still allow his brother to hear his confidences.
The dead turned into stars in the distance. What a beautiful wish!
It was like a fairy tale that gave people a moment of warmth and emptiness.
What kind of power did he seek from this nothingness? Even Hanzo had no way of knowing. However, from the moment he decided to work hard for his heart, Taira Saburo had never given up on telling one of the stars in the sky.
At this moment, he had also drawn inspiration from the incarnation of his deceased brother. What could be more pleasing than having the best of both worlds?
-----------------------------------------
A pale but powerful palm pushed open the door of the conference room. With the strong footsteps of the person who walked in, the man who seemed to have waited for a long time finally revealed a satisfied smile. Looking at his confidant who was slowly standing in front of the table, he said with admiration,"Well done, you won't disappoint me.”
" Fortunately, I didn't fail you…" Taira Saburo lowered his eyes to show his respect. He didn't show the contempt of a young and promising person, nor the fear and trepidation of a low-ranking person. Based on his relationship with Hanzo, any unnecessary expression would show that he was treating her as an outsider. Even this dullness was something that countless people yearned for.
Hanzo obviously didn't care about his disciple's indifference. He, who was familiar with his personality, only smiled faintly. Under the mask of the breather, Taira Saburo could only tell from the wrinkles that flashed across the corners of his eyes and his almost inaudible laughter that his teacher was in a good mood at the moment.
" Show me the child…"
However, it was normal. On the battlefield, anyone would be happy to have a trump card that could make the other party hesitate. If it was that hot-tempered guy called Zilaiye that he saw on the battlefield today, he would probably be so happy that he couldn't find his way back to the north, right? However, at this time, there was no place for happiness in Koba. Ninjas of Koba, how busy are you?
Taira Saburo silently handed the Bright Night New Moon over to him, and at the same time, with the greatest malice, he speculated on the expression of Yukiya's loss of composure.
" Don't tell me, this kid is quite cute. He'll be a handsome guy in the future…" People joked when they were happy, and Hanzo was no exception. However, the joke changed in the second half." If…he can live until then…"
Saburo shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Although the little ghost was very cute, he was not related to him at all. He had no friendship with him at all. He was a stranger to begin with. There was naturally no need to talk about sympathy. The internal struggle he had before was just to prevent his beliefs from being tarnished.
"Eh?" Hanzo, who was observing the little ghost, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
" It's just a small matter…" Hanzo waved his hand." I just felt a familiar power from him…"
" I'll inform my subordinates to investigate…but…"
He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's the matter?"
"Hmm…"
"Tell me."
" I hope that I can take care of this child before he comes in handy. This way, I can avoid any accidents."
“······”
"Alright, you can go and rest now.”
"Yes."
After Saburo and New Moon left for a long time, a few sighs came from the hall.
" Taira Saburo, your personality…is just like your brother…I hope you won't repeat his mistakes…"
" But Bone Escape... Bright Night... Takeori... It's really... interesting..."
