Chapter 21: 21
Chapter 21: 21
Ordinary people hate ninjas, especially those who have the Kekkei Genkai.
A few years later, when Haku grew up, he accidentally exposed the ability inherited from his mother.
Yukino's husband killed her with his own hands with tears in his eyes, and also tried to kill his own son. The young Haku, under extreme despair and anger, burst out with the power of Ice release, killing his father and all the villagers present.
Then, he escaped from the Snow Village and lived a life of a vagabond who scrambled for food with wild dogs, until he was discovered by Zabuza.
This is a tragic story.
Such tragedies are played out almost every day in the Land of Water and in other parts of the ninja world.
Kisame decided to rewrite the story.
So, he quietly moved to the residence of the Yukino family, hid in the woods, and peeped.
...
In the house.
A handsome, cheerful-looking young man is playing a game of lifting with his son, who has just turned a month old, and is immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
Beside him, a beautiful woman with long black hair looked at the father and son tenderly.
In addition to happiness, occasionally deep worry and unease flashed in her eyes.
On that day, Yukino sensed that there were ninjas fighting outside the village. Out of concern, she quietly approached the battle site to find out.
As a result, as soon as she arrived near the woods, she saw the scene of Kisame beheading the Steel and Iron duo one after another, and then she was found when retreating and fled in a hurry.
After two days of trepidation, Kisame came to the door.
Although it was not clear what the man's true intentions were, Yukino looked at her husband and son in front of her, her eyes gradually becoming firm.
She wants to protect this home.
"It's a really loving family."
Kisame hid behind a big rock in the woods. Seeing this scene, he immediately came up with a plan.
He crouched down and pressed his left hand on the snow, the explosion tattoo on his arm suddenly appeared.
A burst of chakra, along the snow-covered ground, quickly approached the yard.
After ten seconds.
'Chi Chi Chi.'
The snow on the ground suddenly melted and evaporated into white fog at the feet of the Haku's family.
And where the snow melted, a black word "Explosion" emerged from the ground and became brighter and brighter, as if something bad was about to happen.
"What is this?"
Haku's father was startled, and hurriedly backed away with his son in his arms, but it was too late.
'Boom!'
An explosion occurred, and a dazzling fire swept over the father and son.
"Be careful!"
At this moment, Snow Maiden let out an exclamation, and almost without thinking, used her Kekkei Genkai.
An ice wall appeared in front of the three out of thin air, resisting the explosion.
"Yukino, you..."
After the man was rescued, he was in shock.
He looked at his wife who had suddenly become unfamiliar in front of him, and at the icy cold air coming out of her palm, the expression on his face gradually turned into panic and fear.
"It's not what you think, you need to listen to me..."
Yukino's face changed greatly, she grabbed her husband's collar in a hurry, and explained to the latter with pleading eyes.
However, the man pushed her away as if he had seen a monster, left his son behind, and turned to run away.
"Noo"
Yukino hurriedly hugged the child tightly and checked repeatedly to see if he was injured.
She looked at the woods outside the yard and shouted, "What do you want?"
However, no one responded.
Ten minutes later.
Yukino's husband returned home, but with him came the villagers of Snow Village with weapons.
In the courtyard, the helpless mother and son were surrounded by indifferent villagers.
'Thump.'
Yukino hugged her child, knelt in front of her beloved husband, crying and begging to him:
"This child is innocent, he did not inherit my ability."
She knew that she would die, and before dying, she only hoped that her child could get rid of the cursed fate and grow up as ordinary and happy as an ordinary person.
"This woman is lying! You can't keep this child, he will definitely bring disaster and death to our Snow Village."
"Yes, mother and child should be damned."
"Hurry up!"
The villagers looked at the mother and son like they are monsters, their eyes full of hatred and fear, and at the same time they kept urging Yukino's husband to do something.
"Yukino, I'm sorry..."
Two lines of hot tears flowed from the man's eyes, as he tremblingly raised the knife in his hand, and then...
Cut down.
"Noo!"
Yukino, who was in deep despair, let out a scream, and a violent ice chakra burst out in her body.
She is a mother and she wants to protect her child.
'Puff puff puff.'
Countless ice picks shot out of the Yukino, including her husband, all the villagers present were not spared, and fell down like wheat bags.
The blood dyed the ground of the house red, flowing slowly, merging with the pure white snow.
'Unparalleled beauty.'
Yukino knelt on the ground, holding her child, trembling all over, indulging in great sadness and pain.
After a while.
'Crunch. crunch.'
Kisame appeared from the woods, stepped on the snow, and walked to Yukino step by step.
"Are you here to kill me too?"
Yukino raised her head expressionlessly, and an ice pick appeared out of nowhere, lashing towards Kisame's face.
'Click.'
As soon as Kisame reached out his hand, he grabbed the ice pick, squeezed it hard, and shattered it.
"Do you want to continue?"
He asked with a smile, as he would be happy to have a fight with Yukino to experience the power of Ice release.
Yukino's face changed several times, and finally said softly with a sullen face, "Go ahead."
She knew how powerful Kisame was. She also knew that resistance was futile, and that she could not defeat this powerful man.
However, holding the last glimmer of hope, she raised Haku with both hands, handed the child to Kisame, and pleaded:
"Please don't kill this child. He will have my Kekkei Genkai. As long as he is properly cultivated, he can become your helper or even a tool. Please... let him live."
"I never said I was going to kill you and your child."
Kisame took Haku, who was crying non-stop from Yukino, and said to her, "My family, like you, is also a low class family in Kirigakure, and it is about to perish. I, Hoshigaki Kisame, sympathize with you. "
"Then why are you doing this to me, I just want to live a peaceful life."
Yukino stared at Kisame, and suddenly raised her voice.
The happiness she originally had was completely destroyed by this man in one day, but he said that this was a kind of sympathy.
What's the point of this?
"You are too naive."
Kisame shook his head, "Even without my intervention, when your son grows up, the Kekkei Genkai in his body will be exposed sooner or later. At that time, you and your son will still die. After all, you saw your husband and those villager's attitude with your own eyes just now, didn't you? I'm not hurting you, but saving you."
He said these words slowly, every sentence stabbing her heart.
""
Yukino was speechless, and only a long silence remained.
A week later.
In the Land of Water, in an unremarkable and remote town, three passers-by were welcomed.
The three were a man, a woman and a child. The man was tall, the woman was gentle and beautiful, holding a newborn baby in her arms, looking like a family of three.
They are Kisame, Yukino and Haku.
Crossing the empty street, the group of three found a Inn, went in and asked for a room to stay.
"You wait for me here for a while, and I'll exchange the bounty."
Kisame bought some food, milk powder, and baby diapers, commanded Yukino, and went out.
Yukino opened the window and watched the figure of Kisame walk out of the Inn as he gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
She hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up running away and decided to stay and wait for him.
After all, in this chaotic world, where could the mother and son escape.
According to the memory of his previous life, Kisame shuttled through the alleys of the town, and soon came to a tall building.
Here, is the bounty office of the Land of Water.
There are five bounty offices in the Ninja world, and they "just happen" in the five countries.
It is an underground black market with countless black money, secret intelligence, and shady loot circulating.
Of course, when it comes to the most distinctive business of the exchange, it is naturally the release of bounties.
Here, as long as you can afford the price, you can offer a reward for the head of anyone, even the Daimyo and the five Kages of the five great villages.
Because his appearance is too conspicuous, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Kisame prepared a black cloak early and completely covered his face with a hood.
He walked into the building, went to the bathroom, and then passed the secret door behind the toilet, and successfully entered the underground office.
The streets on the ground are empty and deserted, but here is people were bustling everywhere, large number of samurai, ronin, and bounty ninjas crowded the hall, and all kinds of noisy sounds gathered together.
For those who don't know, they would have thought that it was a vegetable market.
According to the memory, Kisame came to the morgue with ease.
The business here is very good, it can be said that it is full of people... no, it is full of corpses.
In front of Kisame, several bounty hunters were lining up. The specific process is to take out the corpse, verify it to the one incharge, who then recovers the corpse, and issue the money on the spot.
Generally speaking, the price of most corpses ranges from a few hundred thousand to millions of ryo.
Finally it's Kisame's turn.
He took out the storage scroll, took the Steel and Iron duo's body out of it, and explained their identities to the man.
