Her entire body seemed to be curled up, her eyes tightly shut, as if she was trying to break free from her discomfort.
What happened to me? She hugged her bent knees with both hands, but then pulled them apart because she used too much force. She hung them weakly behind her, her eyes staring blankly at the sky.
He still felt uncomfortable, but he felt much better after vomiting.
His back was covered in sweat, and there were even sweat stains on his face.
Didn't he already tell himself to be cruel and heartless?
But what was with the nausea and discomfort after killing someone?
Looking at the moon hanging in the sky, Zhi began to think.
When he saw his clansmen being killed one by one in front of his eyes, and the corpses of his loved ones dying on the ground, he felt no discomfort, only grief and indignation.
The first time he killed someone unintentionally, when the bandit who wanted to take his life was killed by him out of impulse, he didn't feel uncomfortable, only longing.
When he arrived at the nameless forest, he saw his enemies being killed by Kuna and Ninjutsu. He didn't feel any discomfort, only the feeling of survival.
This time, although he was more cold-blooded and ruthless than ever before, he felt a strong sense of discomfort and disgust.
Looking at his body that was covered in blood, touching his face that was stained by the blood of the villagers, and smelling himself that was filled with blood, Zhi suddenly felt that he was so disgusting and dirty. His hands were stained with the blood of innocent people.
"Phew…"
The people in that village were suspected of colluding with the ninjas of the enemy country, so he cruelly killed them. Perhaps they had nothing to do with the enemy or even the ninjas. Perhaps it was just a misinformation. Perhaps someone was deliberately hurting the people in this peaceful village.
If it wasn't for that piece of information, perhaps they wouldn't have been able to live peacefully and happily in their own paradise without my arrival.
Facing their kind faces, I want to do this…
The natives grabbed their hair tightly. Only such cruelty and cold-bloodedness could kill them!
Without a word, Zhi hugged his thin body…
……
There was no one in the desolate wilderness. Zhi stood alone on the cliff, his lonely back looking at the distant sea.
Perhaps…
Ever since the extermination of his clan, Zhi had been avoiding certain frustrations in his heart…He had only been desperately trying to become stronger and train.
Perhaps only after this night could he truly transform into a qualified ninja.
Only then could he calmly face all the cruelty that happened in this world. Only then could he better face himself, understand himself, and stick to his own heart.
Only then could he continue to become stronger…

"Report! Mission accomplished."
"Hmm? Why is it you?"
Zong, who was busy dealing with war matters, looked at Zhi, who was standing straight in front of him, with a somewhat strange expression.
"Mission completed! No one survived!"
It was unknown if he did not hear or directly ignored the curiosity in Zong Yan's eyes, but Zhi spoke again with a cold expression. However, his entire person seemed to be much more haggard than after experiencing the Forest of Confusion…
"Lord Zong! Mission completed!"
"There is no evidence left behind!"
Zong Shang sized up this man who he suddenly felt unfamiliar with. This change was even more obvious than after the trip to the nameless forest, and he turned a blind eye to the repeated mission handover.
Putting down the document in his hand, he rubbed his eyes gently. Zong crossed his arms and leaned back on the chair, staring at the eyes that had begun to learn to hide his heart.
"Why did you go yesterday? Didn't I tell you to go in two days?”There seemed to be a hint of blame in his words. Zong stared at Zhi, looking at his bloodstained body.
"Report! Because I want to improve my ability as soon as possible and become a qualified or even excellent ninja!”
"Only by constantly becoming stronger can we survive in the ninja world!”
Zhi still maintained his posture when he entered.
"Hmm…that's true." Zong stroked his stubbled chin and said thoughtfully.
"Believe that you have completed the first test of your life.”
"I originally thought that you had just passed the test in the Forest of Mysteries, so I wanted you to rest and tidy yourself up.”
"However, you have already completed the task I gave you, so I can't say anything.”
"And looking at you, you seem to be doing quite well after coming back…"
At this time, Zong did not stare at Zhi anymore, but started talking to himself. When Gao Zhizhi was talking, he also got up to take a look.
"How is it? This mission is very simple, right?"
"For someone like you who has already gone through the Forest of Mysteries 'trial, there shouldn't be any problems at all.”
"Hmm?"
Zong suddenly went from his crossed hands to his desk. He leaned forward and looked down at Zhi. A cold and heartless aura rose from his body.
However, it seemed like Zong's aura had no effect on him. He only stared at Zong's deep eyes and said firmly.
"No problem!"
"Teacher."
Looking at how calm Haruka was, Zong Zui curled his lips and returned to his original position. He left the chair he was sitting on and slowly walked in front of Haruka with his hands behind his back.
"Then now, do you understand the awareness of being a ninja?”
Zong's expression became much more serious at this time, and his role changed from being a ninja's superior to a teacher.
"Understood!"
Zhi answered more forcefully than before.
We don't know what happened to Zhi last night, but today, in Zong's office in the Dark Group base.
We can clearly see that Zhi has become more determined and fearless than before.
Zhi had gradually transformed from an otaku who had nothing to do and went with the flow to a strong person with a strong heart.
"Let's go to the training ground."
"It's been a long time since I've guided you.”
"It's time for us master and disciple to have a chat.”
Zong's expression softened. His thick right hand patted Zhi's shoulder, which was beginning to become firm, as he spoke softly.
"Yes."
Zhi nodded at Zong Xian's back as he walked out of the door.
Perhaps it wouldn't be long before Zhi was like Tanaka and was about to set off for the battlefield.
Zong put down the tense work in his hands in order to have a long talk with Zhi. Although Zhi already understood some things, Zong still had to talk to him again. This was his responsibility as a teacher, and also the responsibility of a person who was entrusted to him.
When Zhi returned, it was already the afternoon of the second day. The long talk between Zhi and Zong only ended late at night.
"Remember to change your clothes next time."
The conversation between the two had already ended, but Zong still did not forget to remind Zhi of some things. When he said goodbye, he reminded Zhi.
"Uh…I was careless…"
Zhi felt a headache coming on. Such an obvious mistake was only discovered after Zong raised it.
Although Zong was very strict, he was very tolerant of Zhi's mistake this time and did not care too much. He believed that Zhi would do everything well in the future. This was also a necessary quality of a strong person.
He placed his left hand behind his back and waved his right hand, saying goodbye to Haruka.
He still had to go back and deal with the work that had fallen behind because of the long talk. The situation was getting more and more urgent!
"Alright, be careful in the future. Let's forget about it this time.”
After Kazuharu finished speaking, Zong turned around and returned to his office to continue his work...
