Konoha Hypocrite

Chapter 240 Illness and Doom Approaching

The Land of Rain is located in a basin, the northwest is the plateau of the Land of Earth, and the southwest is the mountains that cross the Land of Wind.

The warm and humid air from the north and south oceans of the Ninja Continent was trapped here after reaching the Land of Rain.

The cold wind from the northwest passes through the gap between the plateau and the mountains and meets the warm and humid air in the Land of Rain.

This is also the reason why there is heavy rain all year round in the Land of Rain.

rumbling~

In the evening, the sky was covered with dense clouds, and lightning pierced through the haze of the sky like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue.

A small village at the junction of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind.

Because of the war, the villagers here have temporarily moved to other places.

Under the dim sky, only one house was still lit.

A warm yellow bedside lamp illuminates the tiny bedroom.

Outside the window, the rain is quietly weaving a tulle like smoke, enveloping the world.

A pale boy with silver-gray hair nestled in the arms of the woman, staring intently at the comic book in the woman's hand.

He doesn't know most of the characters in the comic book yet, so he can only look at the illustrations and imagine the scenes in the book from the woman's words.

"The little duck swam like this, and finally landed on the shore and found the mother duck."

Just after the woman finished speaking, the little duck found the mother duck, and the little boy's hands holding the woman were obviously a little tighter.

"Ahem~" The little boy coughed heavily with a painful look on his face.

The woman immediately put down the comic book in a panic, patted his back with her palm, and said with a distressed face:

"Is it starting to hurt again? Dad should be back soon, and there will be medicine later."

The little boy nodded with a pale face, raised his head to look at the woman and asked, "Mom, am I going to die?"

The woman shook her head, with a forced smile on her lips, stroking her back and saying:

"No, as long as you rest well, you will get better soon."

The little boy's eyes were filled with mist, and he stared at the woman's eyes seriously, crying:

"When I die, you must give birth to a boy who is as obedient as me, and will accompany you in my place."

The woman only felt that something was stuck in her throat, and hugged the little boy in her arms.

Tears flowed slowly, and he forced a smile and said:

"Don't think about it, you will get better soon..."

"Ahem~"

Hearing the weak cough of the little boy in her arms, the woman only felt a heart-wrenching pain.

The little boy got a rare disease, and the old doctor in the village couldn't do anything, even couldn't find out the cause.

At the beginning, the conditions at home were not very good. I thought about raising it slowly, and the illness would always heal by itself.

But when the little boy just turned three years old, his condition deteriorated rapidly.

unable to walk normally,

You can't blow the wind, and you can't bask in the sun.

It just so happened that the third Ninja World War started at this time, and the villagers all left.

But the parents of this family chose to stay in order to accompany their children on the last journey.

After a while, I heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the house.

"Squeak~"

"Dad is here to buy medicine, and you will get better soon."

When the woman heard the sound of the door opening, hope appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly got up to greet her.

However, when the woman came to the living room, she saw that her husband was already drenched in rain.

Standing at the door with empty hands, his eyes were red and his face was haggard.

The man just lowered his head like this, as if he was afraid to look at his wife.

The hope in the woman's eyes faded, and she said softly:

"Have people from other villages moved away too?"

The man didn't answer, he squatted down slowly, put one hand on his knee and the other on his forehead, and nodded silently.

The woman pursed her lips, took a deep breath, choked up and said:

"It doesn't matter if you can't buy it, go and see the child."

The man sighed silently, stood up holding the shoe cabinet, and dragged his exhausted body to the door of the bedroom.

Immediately he raised his head, took a deep breath, patted his cheek lightly, smoothed his messy hair by the way, pulled himself together, and walked in with a smile on his face.

The little boy had been staring at the bedroom door all the time. Seeing his father walking in with a relaxed face, he immediately opened his hands and shouted:

"dad."

The man came to the bed, wiped his right hand on his pants without leaving any traces, and then stretched out his hand to gently rub the little boy's silver-gray hair.

The little boy squinted, with a cheerful smile on his face.

The woman leaned against the bedroom door, watching this scene like this, feeling a little sore in her heart.

Gently wiped away the tears that were about to overflow, and said softly:

"I'm tired all day, I'm going to cook."

Hearing this, the man withdrew his right hand, turned around and walked up to his wife, held her hand, looked at her stomach and said:

"Let me go, you have to take care of yourself."

The woman looked down slightly, then nodded immediately.

The man turned his head and took a deep look at the little boy, then walked silently into the kitchen and started preparing dinner.

"Da da da......."

There was a heavy chopping sound in the kitchen.

"Woo~"

The wind picked up, and it seemed that someone was pushing hard on the window, and there was a non-stop ringing of clatter.

The rain curtain trembled in the wind, becoming denser and stronger, until it became a torrential downpour.

The misty water vapor seemed to be blown away by the wind, and the world outside the window became dim and clear.

The man put down the kitchen knife, came to the kitchen window, and stretched out his hand to close the window.

Suddenly, the man's eyes narrowed, and he saw an abnormal flame lit up in the distant forest.

"Okay, this is a ninja's ninjutsu."

The man quickly closed the window, and then turned off all the lights in the house.

The woman came out of the boy's bedroom and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

The man said solemnly, "Hide, I saw ninjas fighting in the distance."

The two hurriedly worked together, the man was responsible for closing the doors and windows and drawing the curtains, and the woman was responsible for wrapping the little boy in a quilt and putting him in the narrow closet.

"No matter what happens later, you can't make a sound, you know."

Although the little boy didn't understand what happened, he nodded sensiblely.

The closet was pitch black, and the little boy felt a little scared.

Fortunately, there was still a gap in the wardrobe door, and the little boy could see the scene in the bedroom through the gap.

He only saw his mother leave the bedroom in a hurry and close the bedroom door.

After the sound of closing the door disappeared, the whole room fell into a deathly silence.

Time passed bit by bit.

The little boy gradually fell asleep, and fell asleep slowly like this.

"boom!"

The violent knock on the door woke up the sleeping little boy.

But he remembered what his mother told him before, no matter what happened, he could not go out.

Immediately, she shrank her body into the quilt she was wrapped in, and stared fixedly at the gap in the closet.

But I heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets outside the bedroom, as well as unfamiliar conversations.

"What the hell is the weather here, it rains every now and then.

It's either heavy rain or light rain, and I'm almost moldy. "

"It's already considered good here. It's close to the Kingdom of Wind, and we can still see a few sunny days."

"Let's find something to eat, I'm about to throw up Bingliang Pills."

"Captain, there are people here. Look at the cutting board in the kitchen and there are some freshly cut vegetables."

"Toraku, you can check it with sensory ninjutsu, find them out, and ask for information."

"Good captain."

"Master ninjas, I'm sorry, I just slept for a while, and I didn't notice you coming."

Vaguely, the little boy heard his father's familiar voice.
