Naruto Paradise: An Evil Uchiha's Rise-Chapter 127: Ninja Bandits: Now With Extra ’Oops, We Set The Village On Fire!’

Chapter 127 - Ninja Bandits: Now With Extra 'Oops, We Set The Village On Fire!'

Without making Uchiha Kage wait too long, the sound of ninja fighting came from the river gully at the bottom of the mountain.

"It's the Konoha headband..."

Although the ninja ambushing in the mountain gully weren't from Konoha, the ninja who had fallen into the ambush were indeed from Konoha.

There were about fifty ninja ambushing, wearing the headbands of Amegakure, and the Konoha Ninja who rushed into the ambush had about thirty people.

Fifty against thirty, and with the advantage of the ambush, it should theoretically be a massacre.

But the result was...

The Konoha Ninja survived to the end.

Of course, it was only a tragic victory, with less than ten ninja surviving.

The remaining dozens of enemy and comrade corpses were either floating in the river or lying scattered in the rocky pile.

Blood stained a large area of the river red, and the rocky pile was being flowed over by a mixture of rainwater and blood.

Even from a relatively far distance, Uchiha Kage's keen senses still smelled a thick bloody smell.

But it was quickly dispersed by the rain in the sky.

As expected, rainy days were the most suitable for killing people.

"Kage... what was that just now..."

At first, Ino had been looking forward to the "plot" and mistakenly thought that a Hero Saves Beauty scene would play out.

But as time passed, and with the bloody cruelty of the battle that took place in the valley, she completely woke up from her previous "still dreaming" state.

"Where exactly are we now?"

Was this a nightmare? Or reality...

The girl tugged uneasily at the boy's clothes.

"Although this is a dream, it's not a joke."

Uchiha Kage comfortingly took the girl's hand in his.

Then, he watched the few surviving Konoha Ninja who had won the battle and were starting to rush down the mountain.

----

"Damn it! How could they ambush us in this kind of place!"

"Where are the Medical Ninja? Can he still be saved?"

Holding a comrade covered in blood, a surviving ninja looked around for medical equipment.

"The Medical Ninja died in the battle before. We can only rely on ourselves now... He's already dead."

Flipping the dead man's eyelids and touching his neck, the leading ninja shook his head, then continued to rummage through the corpses of the others.

"These Amegakure bastards didn't even bring supplies!"

Somewhat unlucky, the leading Konoha Ninja kicked the last enemy corpse to the riverbank, his tired face with sunken eye sockets.

They had originally planned to hurry back to the rear to seek supplies, but they got lost in the rain and were ambushed, nearly wiping them out.

Their luck was too bad.

"There's a village ahead..."

The ninja in charge of reconnaissance reported to everyone after observing the surroundings.

"Hmph, those Amegakure bastards might still have people ambushing in that village. Hurry up and search them out!"

"Yes!"

Knowing that there was almost zero possibility that the village of ordinary people would harbor Amegakure ninja, everyone still acquiesced to the leader's decision.

Without supplies, they wouldn't be able to get out of this mountain forest at all. They could only borrow... some food and supplies.

And the reason was that these villagers were harboring Amegakure's defeated ninja.

----

The somewhat dilapidated but generally peaceful village was quickly set ablaze by these Konoha Ninja's "search."

Black smoke rose in the rain.

At the same time, cries and screams were heard...

"Konoha and Amegakure are at war. Is this around the Second Shinobi World War?"

Following the Konoha Ninja, Uchiha Kage and Ino quickly arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

They were originally looking for a place to hide from the rain, but now it seemed better to put out the fire first?

"How could Konoha Ninja do such a thing?"

This must be a nightmare!

Ino shook her head in disbelief.

They would actually attack a village of ordinary people. This was completely not the Konoha Ninja she had in mind.

Instead, they were more like the bandits and robbers described in books.

"In times of war, and with opposing countries, this kind of thing isn't uncommon."

After all, Konoha wasn't some kind of benevolent Shinobi Village.

But...

If he remembered correctly, Nagato of the Akatsuki, his parents and family, seemed to have been... by Konoha Ninja in a similar situation.

So, was this mission to save Nagato?

The mission with an unclear meaning, the rainy day he had encountered for the first time in the Instance , and the Konoha Ninja who had become bandits, all made Uchiha Kage have many associations.

"S-stop! Let go of that woman!"

No longer dwelling on nightmares and reality, facing the living people being innocently killed in front of her, Ino subconsciously tried to stop it.

Then, gritting her teeth, she threw a kunai , interrupting the death sentence of a woman who was about to be hacked to death by a Konoha Ninja.

"Enemy attack!"

"There are actually other ninja here!"

With a clang, Ino's kunai was blocked by the opponent's horizontal blade.

The bloodthirsty ninja snapped out of their frenzy and surrounded Uchiha Kage and Ino.

"Who are you? Amegakure ninja? Or spies from another country?"

Seeing that the clothes on the two were quite clean, and that they weren't wearing ninja headbands, the leading Konoha Ninja couldn't help but become more vigilant.

In this war-torn area, being able to maintain such clean clothes meant that they were either unrelated people, or because of their strength...

"We are..."

"Get down!"

Just as Ino was about to tell them their identities, Uchiha Kage grabbed her and disappeared with the Body Flicker Technique.

Then, a rain of shuriken occupied the place where Ino had been standing.

Using dialogue to attract attention, and then sending people to attack...

The Konoha Ninja who had survived on the battlefield were all elites.

"You!"

If Uchiha Kage hadn't rescued her in time, she would have been shot into a hedgehog by the sneak attack just now.

Thinking of this, Ino no longer hesitated and angrily tightened her grip on the kunai in her ninja pouch.

These murderers were indiscriminate. She thought she could communicate with them.

"In this environment, anyone who isn't a person you recognize can be considered an enemy. Striking first is their principle and experience."

Uchiha Kage was explaining these people's actions, but also shattering the innocence that Ino still held in her heart.

"You're right, but that can only be your last words."

Seeing that these two had escaped their first sneak attack, the ninja wearing the Konoha headbands weren't too surprised. They just launched a second attack.

This time, they threw kunai with exploding tags.

And they were always observing the two's movements, ready to activate their ninjutsu.

"Kage!"

Looking at the exploding tag burning at her feet, Ino couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end.

She had personally seen the scene of the ninja who had been ambushed earlier being blown to pieces by exploding tags...

"Don't worry, close your eyes. It'll be over soon."

Earth Release: Earth Release Wall!

Uchiha Kage channeled chakra and slammed his hands on the ground.

Rumble...

As chakra surged, the ground immediately rose up. A tall and wide earth wall rose from under his feet, instantly taking the girl next to him off the ground.

At the same time, it also distanced them from the explosion of the exploding tag.

Then, when the girl stabilized herself on the earth wall and began to look around again--

The Konoha Ninja who had wanted to kill them, as if their throats had suddenly been slit, fell to the ground one by one.

"Kage..."

Ino subconsciously touched her side and then was relieved to find that the other party had returned to her side.

He was a little too powerful, Kage...

So many ferocious ninja, just in an instant...

"I've already used an Illusionary Technique to interrogate them. These people are remnants who retreated from the front lines. The leading ninja is called Shimura Shiraha, and this is indeed the Rain Country during the Second Shinobi World War."

"A-already interrogated them?"

Not only did he kill everyone in such a short time, but he also completed the information interrogation?

"Yeah, anyway, let's find a place to hide from the rain first. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Although he didn't know if he could get a fever or catch a cold in the Instance...

Uchiha Kage led the frightened girl into a civilian house.

Hiding in the house was a trembling woman, who was the one Ino had saved earlier.

But her husband's corpse was still radiating heat.

It was even still warm.

"Sorry, do you have a dry towel?"

"Y-yes!"

The woman quickly ran into the back room and rummaged through the closet for a few clean towels , which she handed over... or rather, threw over.

Although she was very scared, she also understood that the boy and girl in front of her had saved her life.

Uchiha Kage handed the towel to Ino and then began to help collect the corpses on the ground.

"Thank you..."

The woman in the house finally lowered her guard, and then, looking at her husband's unclosed eyes, began to sob softly.

"Have you seen a child named Nagato around here? His hair is red..."

Uchiha Kage tried to ask.

Then he got a negative answer.

"No?"

The other party shouldn't be lying.

Then, if the mission wasn't related to Nagato, what would it be...

"L-let's leave this place, Kage..."

Wiping the rainwater off her body, looking at the sobbing woman and the man covered in white cloth, Ino felt a bit... maybe it was guilt because her fellow villagers had done evil.

There was also a kind of unease about this place where so many people had died.

This "dream" was too real.

Having never gone out on a mission before, this was the first time she had personally experienced the brutality of ninja and the passing of life.

And she finally had a real sense of what war was.

Her father, he wouldn't...

No, it was impossible. Her father would never do such a thing as killing innocent civilians and robbing villages like bandits.

"Okay."

Knowing that the girl might be a little uncomfortable because she was facing this kind of slightly excessive scene for the first time, Uchiha Kage didn't stay any longer. After borrowing an umbrella, he led the girl back into the heavy rain outside.

----

"Kage, you said war... why did they become like that?"

After getting away from the town full of blood and tears, Ino finally seemed to have come back to her senses and recovered some of her usual demeanor.

"Maybe it's because the essence of this world is the survival of the fittest."

Although it had caused some impact on the girl, it had also given her a solid lesson.

In the future, when facing the more chaotic Ninja World , she would be able to adapt better.

At least.

Uchiha Kage looked at the rain that was still falling in front of him, thinking about what the mission of this Instance would be, why there was garbled code, and answering the girl's questions.

"The survival of the fittest... the Ninja World is really boring."

Letting out a breath, the girl who had left the village relaxed a lot.

But she also had more worries.

"Sooner or later, my father will also... as long as the war continues..."

"Maybe."

Uchiha Kage remembered that in the original story, Ino's father had... sacrificed himself.

"Kage, you should comfort me at this time, and say that it won't happen... right?"

Ino couldn't help but smile through her tears and glared at the person who wasn't very good at talking.

"But, as expected of Kage, no matter what the situation, he won't be bound by others and will always be calm and reliable."

Before Uchiha Kage could say anything, the girl grabbed his arm again and leaned her whole body on him.

"I also have... bad times."

There were also times when he was led by the nose by others.

Although that was all in the past.

But every time he thought about it, Uchiha Kage couldn't help but add another layer of hatred to Senju Tobirama.

He could have been a good person, but just because of Senju Tobirama...

But being a bad person wasn't bad either. He could accept all the girls he liked into his harem with peace of mind, he could kill the scum he didn't like at will, and he could selfishly see the whole world as his own possession.

"I don't believe it... but, Kage, you said that this is the Second Shinobi World War, what's going on?"

After calming down, Ino also began to notice something was wrong.

Because she didn't remember any of the Konoha Ninja from before.

Moreover, whether it was a dream or reality, suddenly jumping from Konoha Village to the Rain Country didn't make sense no matter how she thought about it.

"The literal meaning. We've traveled to the Rain Country during the Second Shinobi World War in a dream."

The rain gradually stopped.

But the sky was still gray. Uchiha Kage put down his umbrella and looked ahead.

It was a muddy path that twisted and turned towards the village ahead.

Another village.

"How could this be..."

Wait, how does Kage seem so familiar with this?

And since just now...

Ino was a little curious. If this was really a dream, then was the boy in front of her, who gave her a reliable sense of security, from her imagination, or was he the real Uchiha Kage?

If it was the real person, then her previous strange thoughts... fortunately, she only thought about them in her heart and didn't show them.

Otherwise, Kage would definitely think she was a strange woman, right?

She would actually fantasize about him taking off her clothes and then in the wild... whatever.

Whew...

Thinking of this, Ino even breathed a sigh of relief.

It hurts!

However, to confirm the reality of this place, Ino secretly pinched her thigh in pain.

It hurts so much! This wasn't a dream at all, was it?

"There seems to be someone lying ahead. Is it a corpse?"

On the muddy path entering the village, Ino seemed to see the figure of a blue-haired girl lying in the middle of the road.

Because she had seen too many corpses before, she subconsciously regarded the girl, whose appearance she couldn't see clearly, as a corpse.

"No, she should still be alive."

Uchiha Kage picked up the girl covered in mud from the ground.

The girl's chest was still rising and falling, and looking closer, he realized that she had a very delicate face.

Even though she was covered in mud, it didn't block too much of her beauty. Instead, it gave people a feeling of weakness and lovability.

If he wasn't mistaken, this hair color, this face--

He had just picked up... Konan?

So, the protagonist of this Instance should be her?
