Those years,

Weren't the days when the Lightning Gang wandered around the Land of Hot Water, fighting for the weak and oppressed, even more arduous than those of the ninjas of Hot Water Village who had stable homes?

But they didn't utter a single complaint; on the contrary, they tirelessly worked for ordinary impoverished residents!

"We, we are too..."

During this time, Masato Taniguchi looked sorrowful and wanted to say something, but the young man with dark blue hair in front of him didn't seem to want to listen and continued talking to himself:

"As a ninja village that complements the Land of Hot Water, where have you put your responsibilities, your obligations, and your duties?"

"Have you seen the decline of Daming Prefecture? Have you seen the harm caused by the heretical cult? Have you seen the rampant bandits and thugs? Have you seen the suffering of the people of this country?"

Feng Xin roared out each word and sentence in his heart with a fierce and forceful low voice.

It was precisely because Lei Guangtuan had once stayed in this country and worked among those poor people that he was able to so vividly denounce these realities.

"We were also victimized..."

Masahiro Taniguchi's face grew paler and paler, and the words he couldn't utter became increasingly weak and feeble.

He knew perfectly well that what the other party said was true, and that this was the current state of the entire Land of Hot Springs!

As a ninja village that has existed alongside this country, it is a dereliction of duty that it cannot escape blame for failing to maintain and protect it!

but,

but! !

He desperately wanted to express the grievances and helplessness in his heart.

"A village that has forgotten war and cherishes peace?"

"Ha, it seems you've forgotten more than just war."

After venting everything, Feng Xin's indignation gradually turned into mockery and ridicule.

"We had no choice!"

Do you know what we've suffered all these years?

"Do you even know how we've managed all these years?"

"To protect the Land of Hot Springs?"

"Ha, that's easy for you to say."

"Then on that night, when that despicable traitor slaughtered the entire village of Yugakure, who came to our aid?!"

The young ninja from Yugakure, who had been suppressing his grievances and pain, finally roared out.

And this is precisely the fact that the old man wanted to illustrate.

It's not that they don't want to fulfill their duties and obligations, but that they are powerless to do so.

These words seemed to cast a pall of sadness over the entire space, for this sealed-off land held far too much sorrow and despair.

That night, no one could truly understand what I was going through.

just,

just.

"what is this?"

Feng Xin's voice was like a cold wind devoid of any emotion, striking the deepest part of the hearts of the people in Yugakure!

【what is this? 】

[That bastard actually said, "What's so special about this?"]

His eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred.

The atmosphere became turbulent and tense at this moment.

The dozens of young ninjas wearing the headbands of the Hidden Hot Springs all clenched their fists, and some even drew their sharp ninja tools.

They don't expect others to empathize with them.

However, they absolutely cannot tolerate others wantonly belittling and insulting the sorrow and past of Yugakure!

"So, in the end, are we still going to choose to suppress them by force?"

"Alright."

As she spoke, Bu Feng extended her delicate tongue and slowly licked her lips. This gesture, coupled with the beauty mark under her lips, made her appear incredibly charming.

"Compared to my parents,"

"What do your experiences amount to!"

Feng Xin remained unmoved.

Instead, he continued to look at the group of guys in his field of vision with disdain.

These people are older than our parents, and they have more access to the support and power of this country, yet they choose to cower here and hide from the world, choosing to remain stagnant and do nothing!

Such an experience, such a general environment

How can he be compared to Lord Ara, who is surrounded by enemies and single-handedly supports an entire clan?

At that moment, Feng Xin suddenly understood why his family had given the order to expel the enemy, instead of directly annihilating them like other forces.

"If we cannot protect this place."

"Then what use are you?"

"get out!"

"We will protect this place!"

Chapter 335 The arrival of the army

If you can't fulfill your responsibilities and protect this place, then get out!

These words and these sounds reverberated in Taniguchi Masato's heart like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

His eyes trembled, his lips quivered, as if he wanted to say something more, to defend himself.

But in the end, all that remained was a long sigh.

They are utterly powerless to refute this reality and these facts.

Not only him, but also the dozens of young ninjas who remained around him slowly unfurled their clenched fists and lowered their faces.

Yes,

Despite bearing the name of Yugakure Village, they are unable to protect the people of this country, only seeking their own short-term peace.

Do they deserve to remain here under the name of Yugakure?

The other party kindly offered the option to leave, probably because they had also protected this land in the past.

"Excuse me,"

"Is the 'master' you're talking about him himself, or someone he's affiliated with?"

After a brief silence, Masatoshi Taniguchi, his face contorted with pain, finally spoke again.

The words spoken did not continue the previous sorrow and pleading, but only a sense of vicissitude and desolation.

Those who hold a position but fail to fulfill their duties, and those who assume a post but do not perform their responsibilities, should step down and yield to a more capable person—this is an age-old principle.

As the temporary head of the village, all he can do now is lay out all the issues, risking the other party's dissatisfaction.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xin immediately let out a disdainful snort, and her expression became twisted and devout.

These are two extreme expressions.

But for some reason, at this moment, they 'coexist' on his cheeks and seem to complement each other perfectly.

"How could that rotten place possibly accommodate or restrain the adults in my family?"

"Those old guys will regret the decisions they made back then sooner or later."

His voice was high-pitched and resolute.

His words were full of trust, without the slightest fear or apprehension that the imagined enemy was that terrifying 'mountain'.

One day, they will set foot on that land, climb that insurmountable peak, and welcome back their lord!

Upon hearing this answer, Masahiro Taniguchi's face twitched slightly.

Although they already had this suspicion when they made the inquiry.

But after actually receiving such an answer, he still felt a sense of disorientation, panic, and astonishment from the bottom of his heart.

But thinking about it carefully, it's probably only the descendants of that clan who would dare and be able to launch a rebellion against the 'King'.

"I understand."

After a long silence, the elderly man, who was highly respected within the village of Tangyin, slowly responded.

"Whether to stay or leave, everyone should make their own decision."

Ultimately, he could not make the final decision on behalf of all his comrades.

And this must be the last freedom bestowed by that great man. Once you choose to submit, your life will no longer be as free as before.

It is even more likely that in the near future, we will need to directly confront that behemoth!

Whether they live or die, whether they achieve glory or become prisoners again, remains to be seen.

All of this is unknown.

He has already subtly pointed out the pros and cons, and he has done all he could do. The rest is up to the clansmen to choose for themselves.

"I,"

"In my capacity as an agent, I hereby declare: Yugakure Village is dissolved."

It seemed as if Masato Taniguchi used all his strength to utter those words. When the word "disband" came out, it was as if a heavy burden of blame suddenly pressed down on him, making his already somewhat frail body even more hunched over.

At the same time, the mournful cries and sobs of people gradually rose from the surrounding area.
