Chapter 402 Origin

That was probably a year ago, before I met Yahiko...

As a war orphan from the Rain Hidden Village, she and several other children about her age accompanied a group of Rain Hidden ninjas in an operation known as the "Great Evacuation".

Originally, everything was going very smoothly. Xiaonan thought that he would arrive at Hidden Rain Village, receive a period of ninja training, become an Rain Ninja, and fight for his country in the future.

Then, when they were passing through a forest, they met a blocker:

It was a man wearing a mask and a black robe.

As soon as the other party appeared, he asked: "Are you all ninjas from Hidden Rain Village?"

As for when and how the other party appeared, no one knows.

The midday sun casts its shadows on the leaves, and the shadows on the ground seem to merge with the man in black robe.

That feeling is like a ghost, and makes people shudder.

However, Xiaonan didn't feel too scared at that time, just because judging from his voice, she felt that the man in black robe was still very young.

At least, it should be much smaller than their jounin leader.

In other words, Xiaonan thought at that time:

Regardless of whether the men in black robes in front are enemies or whether they have malicious intentions towards them, the leading jounin should be able to handle it.

The reason for this kind of confidence is that Xiaonan once saw their team leader take action once.

That kind of speed, that kind of power, and that variety of powerful ninjutsu were completely beyond the imagination of Konan, who was only five or six years old at the time.

It was as if the door to a new world had opened for her.

It also seemed to refresh her understanding of ninjas.

In other words, Xiaonan is sure that she and others are safe.

After a while, the negotiation between the man in black robe and the Jonin leader seemed to be over. The other party drew out his ninja sword and seemed to be planning to take action.

What happened then... seems to be engraved in the depths of Xiaonan's mind forever. Even now, the scene at that moment still seems to be vivid in her mind:

At that time, Xiaonan only felt that his eyes were blurred, and the dark shadow flashed next to their leader Jonin, and he casually put his hand on the latter's shoulder.

It felt like the ten-meter distance between the two people didn't exist.

Immediately afterwards, before anyone could scream in surprise, a loud bang like an explosion followed, covering up all the noise.

Suddenly, strong winds blew up, sand and gravel flew, and smoke filled the place.

The scene in the field of vision suddenly became blurry.

Then, countless piercing sword lights suddenly emerged from the smoke and dust at the same time, covering all the rain ninjas momentarily.

The sword light seemed to turn into twisted and deflected white lines, like a large net composed of densely packed silk threads, shining brightly in the sunlight, almost blinding Xiao Nan's eyes.

Time seemed to pass by in an instant, and it also seemed like a long time.

When Xiaonan came to her senses again, she felt like something was hanging on her hair. She subconsciously took it out and took a look, but it was half a bloody intestine.

Xiaonan can no longer remember how she felt at that moment. The only thing she remembers seems to be the scene she saw in the field.

And that scene deeply shocked all the rain ninjas of this little girl who was only six years old at the time, including her brother, sister, and uncle who usually had a good relationship with her...

Everyone...everyone was turned into pieces of mutilated meat.

That's no longer a battle... Xiaonan thought to herself:

That was simply a massacre. It ended in just a few seconds. Massacre!

Some of these pieces of meat, or corpses, were hung on the treetops, some were scattered on the ground, and some were dropped on children like them.

The red blood mist that filled the air slowly spread to the surroundings under the breeze.

Everything within sight, within a radius of tens of meters, seemed to have suddenly turned into a bloody world.

The strong smell of blood filled the nostrils, and a moist feeling appeared on the surface of the body. Xiaonan, like several companions around him, stared blankly at the hell in front of him, and...

The black in the red...the man who stood quietly in the middle of the field, lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, like a god of death.

Time passed minute by minute, and at this fateful moment, Xiaonan thought that he would definitely die.

Unexpectedly, the man in black robe suddenly raised his head and spoke a simple word to them:

"roll."

Xiao Nan, who was so confused, couldn't remember what happened after that. She just followed her body's instinct and subconsciously wanted to stay away from the God of Death.

They seemed to have escaped with their lives from the hands of the man in black robes, and they seemed to have successfully escaped from Konoha's encirclement without even realizing it.

But after all, they are just a group of children. Without the protection of ninjas, in this war-torn country, it is really difficult for them to survive smoothly...

After going through a difficult journey for a period of time, each of the companions either starved to death, got separated, or were killed by the aftermath of ninjutsu flying from nowhere...

In the end, when they arrived at the current town, there was no one left beside Xiaonan.

However, maybe it’s God’s blessing, maybe it’s good luck, or maybe it’s because my psychological quality is relatively good and my physical strength is relatively strong...

In short, Xiaonan survived in the end.

No matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how desperate the situation is, we must grit our teeth and keep moving forward, never giving up the hope of survival. This is the belief that Xiaonan developed after experiencing various ups and downs.

Then, she began a life of picking up trash in the town's garbage dump.

There is only one purpose: to fill your stomach.

It's a pity that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is true even in the garbage dump where almost no one visits:

Xiao Nan encountered a gang of war orphans, and the few slices of bread she finally found that day were robbed.

In desperation, in order to survive, Xiao Nan had to put down the little dignity left in her heart and return to the town to beg.

Perhaps it was a blessing in misfortune, or maybe God finally took care of this six-year-old girl. During a begging process, Xiao Nan accidentally saw the pickpocket Yahiko stealing.

Out of a natural and unspecified goodwill, Konan did not yell or try to expose Yahiko.

Xiao Nan just silently watched this crime happening in front of his eyes, without any fluctuation in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

So, maybe she really thought it was fun, or maybe the inexplicable goodwill was at work, she subconsciously smiled at Yahiko.

At this moment, Yahiko succeeded and was about to sneak away quietly when he happened to see a girl not far away opposite, sitting slovenly on the ground and smiling at him.

With just one thought, the connection was forged from that moment on.
