He looked at the familiar environment and the familiar room, even though the familiar person was no longer there.
"Big Brother, don't worry. I'll definitely come and find you as soon as possible.”Pushing open the door, he didn't have time to eat. Looking at the photo of Yutanaka, he lay on the big bed, deep in thought...
After leaving the forest, he went home as soon as he returned to Kirin Village. He had been too tired these past few days. Compared to the hard training in the past, he felt that being able to choose his own training in a safe and comfortable environment was a great blessing.
On the way back, Zhi and Zong did not say much. Zong told Zhi to rest for a day and then go to the Dark Group base to look for him. He also had to tell Zhi about the following arrangements.
His tired body was completely relaxed as soon as he returned to bed. This kind of comfortable and leisurely rest was indeed very enjoyable. However, for Zach who wanted to become stronger, he could never indulge in a peaceful life because that was an eternal stumbling block on his way to becoming stronger. He wanted to make everything that stood in his way become his stepping stone.
There was no time to think about chores and plans. With his heavy body, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"Boss! To forge such a short sword for me…"
Zhi explained to the owner of the weapon shop in detail according to the blueprint.
Originally, he did not have any money, but before Tanaka went to the battlefield, he gave all his things and belongings to his only family member, Haruka. Therefore, Zed had the money to forge a short sword suitable for practicing swordsmanship and killing ordinary enemies.
Big brother, don't worry. I won't let you down. I'll make good use of what you left behind. Wait for me!
Taking the savings that he had accumulated in the valley, Zhi first gave the deposit for the short sword to the weapon shop owner.
This is the sword drawn on the drawing. Although it looks like a postmodern abstract art piece, we can still roughly see the outline of this short sword.
The entire sword was about 60 centimeters long. The body of the sword was relatively thick, much wider than the usual body of the sword. The thickness of the blade had also increased a lot, and the sword ridge was slightly protruding. The shallow part was smaller, while the back part of the sword was larger. If the shape of the sword was changed to a larger one, I don't think anyone would suspect that this is a miniature version of a saber.
The body of the sword was completely black. Zhi had specially requested the owner of the weapon shop to forge it with a relatively precious " black metal ". Due to the war, this kind of special metal used to forge weapons was generally not sold to others, and ordinary people could not afford it. However, Zhi had explained this to Zong in advance. Zong was very curious about Zhi's wish to forge a sword, so he agreed to it. After all, Zhi was not fooling around. It was for the sake of improving his strength.
The hilt of the sword was very small, shaped like a swastika. There was only a small part of the frame left, and the empty part of the word was empty. However, the part that was held in the center was deliberately thickened and an oval piece was added to make it easier to kill enemies and inertia when using the dagger. The sword's stem was flat and round, with rings of bumps and bumps on it to increase the friction between the hand and the sword. The entire short sword was roughly like this.
After giving the weapon shop owner an explanation, Zach was ready to ask Zong about his next arrangements.
After walking for half a circle around Kirin Village, the atmosphere in the village was a little more tense than before. However, most of the people's lives were still not affected. Only a small number of people who were related to ninjas had their lives changed greatly. If there were ninjas in the family who went to the battlefield, the entire family would have to be on tenterhooks. However, if they were to do ninja-related business, they would make a lot of money.
It was also known as the War of the Ninja Realm. The ninjas were the ones who had the greatest impact. When the war came, the entire Ninja Village was like a huge machine that was constantly pumping energy for the sake of victory.
Some of the wounded were already being sent back to Ninja Village. For most of the wounded, being sent back meant that they would never be able to be ninjas again. However, it was still better than losing their lives on the battlefield. It was better to live. It was better than having a family receive compensation and rarely seeing a pile of ashes.
In the early days of Ninja Village, medical ninjas had yet to rise up, and medical equipment was extremely scarce. The death rate on the battlefield had reached a shocking number.
As for the ninjas who were lucky enough to survive on the battlefield, if they could get a large sum of money, they would have no worries in the future. Their future arrangements would also be settled. However, how many of them were so lucky?
The atmosphere in the Dark Group base was obviously much more serious. There were documents going back and forth between the front, Dark Group, and Shuiying's office.
Today, the speed at which Zhi entered the Dark Group base was obviously much faster. Everyone roughly knew that he was Master Zong's disciple. In addition, the Dark Group was very busy during this period, so the inspection procedures were probably allowed.
In the base, there was a constant flow of intelligence from the front line. They had to sign and issue orders as quickly as possible to guide the battlefield.
The Dark Group was still in charge of monitoring the various logistics departments.
Once something went wrong, it would affect the entire battle.
Ever since he returned from receiving treatment yesterday, Zong had been busy in his office for the whole day, signing and issuing orders non-stop. Sometimes, he even had to personally go to Shui Ying's office to discuss the battle strategy with Shui Ying. However, Zong had been used to this kind of life for a long time.
"Give this document to Lord Shui Ying and let him read it personally.”
When Zhi Zheng pushed open the door and entered, Zong Zheng had just signed a document and ordered a trusted subordinate of the Dark Group. This document was very important, and Shui Ying had to look through it personally.
Sota was so immersed in documents and various intelligence orders that it took him a long time to see Haruka, who had been here for a long time. Seeing how busy Sota was, Haruka did not want to disturb him.
"Come in, sit down first."
While dealing with the documents, Zong called for treatment.
He looked up and down through the thick documents and took out a piece of paper from the tightly pressed folder.
"Do some simple training for the next few days.”
"This piece of paper has the specific things I want you to do.”
"I've been quite busy these two days. After you go, come back and report to me. I'll ask you about your situation these few days. I've already thought about your arrangements and will tell you when the time comes.”
After handing over the piece of paper, Zong took a pen and started writing on the document. He buried his head in the document and told the person sitting in front of him.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhi stood up and closed the door of Zong's office with light footsteps. Zong continued to give orders. Similarly, he did not notice when Zhi left.
————————————————
In the afternoon, after training his body's reaction speed, Zhi was ready to complete the mission that Zong had given him. Simple training had little effect on him now, and only actual combat could be effective for him.
He didn't ask much. Zhi believed that the sect would definitely arrange it for him.
With Zhi's current speed, he only needed half a day to reach the quest location. Judging from the terrain, it was a small village at the edge of the Water Country. According to the description of the mission on the paper that Zong gave him, Kirin Village suspected that someone in the village was colluding with the enemy ninjas and wanted to exterminate everyone in the village.
It was already night, and the village was lit up.
