"It smells bloody."
Upon reaching the village entrance, Qing Si spoke.
Tsunade nodded solemnly.
She could smell the strong stench of blood too.
"It's most likely... the work of a wandering ninja."
Tsunade mentioned the words "wandering ninja".
The Land of Fire is currently embroiled in war, but it still needs to trade with the outside world, and ordinary villagers also need to interact with each other, so it is impossible for the country to be completely closed off.
Due to various factors, ninjas from other countries would inevitably wander in.
They could also be local ninjas.
They were collectively known as "wandering ninjas".
Unlike the wanted "rogue ninjas," they do not belong to any ninja village.
All ninjutsu was learned by buying ninjutsu scrolls that had fallen into the world, or by stealing ninjutsu from other countries.
Such clumsy imitations, like the "shadow imitation" made with steel wire or the "spiritual communication" created using a projector, demonstrate the low skill level of most practitioners.
These were mostly self-taught ninjas who had become outlaws and were taking advantage of the chaos to seek greater benefits for themselves.
In this chaotic era of war, it's perfectly normal for some morally deficient ninjas to commit arson, murder, and looting.
Orthodox rogue ninjas look down on these ordinary villages.
They had received some formal ninjutsu training, but what they needed was more advanced knowledge.
As for legitimate, officially registered ninjas, none of them would do something so foolish.
This will only tarnish the reputation of the ninja village behind it, and in serious cases, it will be directly labeled as a rogue ninja and severed from its status.
"Hey, this is our Wild Wolf Ninja Clan's territory. You want to steal our food?"
When a group of wandering ninjas saw Kiyoshi and Tsunade hurrying this way, their posture was that of a standard ninja run, and they immediately knew that they were ninjas.
"The Wild Wolf Ninja Gang?"
Qing Si gave a half-smile.
At the same time, looking at the blue-haired little girl among the group of wandering ninjas, I realized that they were also involved in human trafficking.
Tsunade also realized this, her eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face filled with anger, clearly disapproving of such behavior.
"Wait, Chief Kikuta, something's not right."
A lean man carrying a kunai covered in rust marks called out to the leader who was leading his men forward.
The wandering ninja, known as Leader Kikuta, was burly and wore a gold necklace around his neck.
"What's wrong, Sakamoto Yutaro?"
Kikuta Harutaro turned to look at Sakamoto Yuutaro.
I wondered when he had become so timid.
They had killed real ninjas before.
There were even many people who worked together to kill Chunin from a major country!
There was a woman and a man in front of him.
He couldn't make out the style of the female ninja's armor, but since the man didn't have a green ninja vest, he guessed he wasn't a high-ranking ninja.
Even if they are Konoha ninjas, as long as they are left here, no one will know.
"That's... the Uchiha clan crest."
Yutaro Sakamoto watched as Kiyoshi approached, his forehead covered in sweat.
Uchiha!
That's a major clan among ninjas!
Compared to other wandering ninjas, his experience gave him a deeper understanding of the ninja world.
Many of my former comrades were killed by Uchiha ninjas, whose Sharingan was simply no match for them!
It can pull people into an illusion at a glance!
"Uchiha..."
The remaining members of the Wild Wolf Ninja Group all changed their expressions drastically.
The same applies to Yotaro Kikuta, who is the leader.
Seeing their expressions, Kiyoshi guessed that they knew about his ninja clan.
He wasn't in the mood to waste any extra time.
"I killed them all."
When Tsunade heard Kiyoshi threaten to kill them all without warning, she instinctively frowned.
Then I saw the ruins and many villagers burned to a crisp inside the raging fire.
Blood was scattered haphazardly on the ground, consisting of severed heads and limbs.
One can imagine just how cruel these wandering ninjas were.
Upon seeing the blood, Tsunade's body went limp and trembled, instinctively wanting to back away.
Finally, he said "okay".
The pack of wolf ninjas trembled with fear upon seeing Tsunade, and they exchanged surprised glances.
He thought he had encountered two incompetent ninjas and might be able to turn the tables on them.
Kiyoshi, however, had completely lost interest.
He formed only one "Tiger" hand seal with his hands, and a large amount of Fire Release chakra was refined and gathered in his chest cavity, gushing upwards from his throat.
A fiery red dragon was spat out of Kiyoshi's mouth.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
The dragon's head split into three, splitting into three fire dragons that roared with flames as they charged toward the terrified pack of wandering wolves.
Kiyoshi is now quite proficient in this ninjutsu.
From initially only being able to release one fire dragon, it can now release three fire dragons at once.
The chakra consumption only increased slightly because, with a deeper understanding of "ninjutsu" and "seals," one can achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of chakra.
The group of wandering ninjas were all burned by the flames.
Just like the villagers who were burned to death by them.
Painful howls began to echo throughout the area, and the ground was covered with writhing, burning figures.
The only person standing in front of Kiyoshi was that blue-haired little girl.
This was the result he deliberately avoided.
After all, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.
The blue-haired girl stared blankly as the villains who had been holding her captive were burned by flames.
Lifting my eyes, I saw a handsome older brother with black hair cascading down his waist.
At this moment, he revealed a slight smile and said to himself:
"come over."
There seemed to be some kind of power in those words.
The blue-haired girl instinctively walked forward.
"What's your name?"
Kiyoshi continued to ask.
With the support of this entry, his words can exert a deterrent and persuasive effect on those of lower status than him.
"My name is... Red Lotus."
Honglian spoke timidly.
"red lotus?"
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
Her name is Honglian, but this little girl is not "red" at all.
Instead, she had a head of lustrous blue hair, tied back with a simple hairband, the loose blue strands looking like a small blue pineapple hanging down her back.
Her face was dirty, and she had a baby fat similar to Kurenai Yuhi, but it was clear that she wouldn't look too bad after washing herself.
"Orochimaru, huh...?"
Kiyoshi secretly said.
It was also a matter of luck.
It seems that, under the influence of his butterfly, he found the Crimson Lotus earlier than Orochimaru.
After Orochimaru's human experimentation was exposed, he defected from Konoha and joined Akatsuki during that time.
Later, he coveted Itachi's Sharingan and attacked Itachi.
As a result, Itachi cut off his hand.
In the ninja world, apart from Kakuzu's "Earth Grudge Fear" which can sew up severed limbs at will, there is no other ninjutsu that can regenerate severed limbs.
Otherwise, the Fourth Raikage, Might Guy, Sasuke, and Naruto wouldn't be disabled.
Naruto also had a biomechanical arm installed, not the kind of pure flesh and blood arm like Obito's.
His arms can even be detached; they are simply modeled after the original meridian system and can be used for everyday ninjutsu.
Therefore, in order to have a healthy body, Orochimaru performed the first "Reanimation Jutsu".
The ideal container is the red lotus!
Unfortunately, some unexpected events occurred, leading Orochimaru to choose Genyumaru as the vessel for his first reincarnation.
"From now on, you'll come with me. This village has been destroyed; if you stay here, you'll only die."
Kiyoshi spoke.
Even the orphanage didn't receive much subsidy from the Land of Fire, so other welfare institutions shouldn't even think about it.
A child without support is doomed.
"Me...?"
Honglian, bewildered, peeks at Qingsi.
She felt that Kiyoshi's smile was like a little sun, warming her heart.
She couldn't help but nod.
"Lady Tsunade, if I adopt her, will there be any problems?"
Kiyoshi spoke.
"It's fine, as long as it passes the review."
After calming down for a while and waiting for the symptoms of hemophobia to disappear, Tsunade answered.
Konoha does not reject the addition of outsiders.
On the contrary, they are happy to accept such ninjas in order to have more ninjas and more new forces.
In the past, many qualified orphans from orphanages joined Konoha and became ninjas.
If this little girl named Honglian can pass the test and prove that she is not a spy, then it will be legal.
"it is good."
Kiyoshi nodded.
He ruffled Honglian's hair, making her blue hair all messy.
This was not a whim of Qing Si.
Instead, Crimson Lotus possesses the bloodline limit "Crystal" Release!
In the future, he will grow up to be an elite Jonin or even a Kage-level subordinate.
It's a sure-fire way to make money, so there's no reason for Qing Si not to do it.
Furthermore, Honglian's behavior in the original work can be described as extremely loyal.
If he hadn't been persuaded, he would truly be willing to give everything for his master, including his own life.
Its only flaws are its indifference to life other than its owner, its violent nature, and its lack of intelligence.
"for you."
Kiyoshi took out a water bottle and dry rations from the sealed scroll and handed them to Honglian.
Honglian was clearly starving. She tiptoed over and took the food carefully before eating it.
Then he started wolfing it down.
"This is war..."
Tsunade sighed.
The impression of Kiyoshi as a bloodthirsty person changed to one of being humane and hating evil.
If it weren't for the Sharingan, Tsunade wouldn't believe that this person was an Uchiha.
After Honglian finished eating, the three continued their journey.
Given that Guren was slow, Kiyoshi carried her on his back and traveled alongside Tsunade through the mountains.
Honglian felt a strange sense of security leaning against Qingsi's strong back.
Her delicate eyelashes trembled slightly, and she drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
Kiyoshi felt the even breathing behind him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Orochimaru's downfall was due to his cold-heartedness, which allowed someone to exploit a loophole in Guren's abilities.
This time, he's focusing on warmth and affection, so once Honglian is nurtured, her loyalty should be highly guaranteed.
"It's time to build a private force."
Kiyoshi secretly said.
One aspect is that the Hidden Cloud Village planted his pawns, but he also needs to have his own power base in Konoha.
As he traveled, Kiyoshi thought of many things.
On the Island of Spirits lives the Whirlpool Fruit, and in the Land of Grass lives Karin Whirlpool's mother.
These people can all make excellent subordinates.
After all, it's impossible to do everything personally; the Qing Si needs some people to do odd jobs.
It is also necessary to establish its own intelligence network system to corroborate and predict the plot development after the butterfly effect.
…………
The next few days were a tedious journey, and finally we returned to Konoha, which we had left not long ago.
Thanks to Kiyoshi's gliding ability, he carried two people at once. Whenever he had chakra, he would use magnetic force to ascend into the sky and then use wind release to glide over.
