The B-Rank Ninjutsu: Great Flame Flower. He knew this skill. It was practical and stylish. Most importantly, it was cool!
[Yellow Corpse]
[Success Rate: 30%]
[Would you like to loot the body? (Current: 2/3, Daily: 8/9)]
There was no reason to hesitate. Continue!
[Success! Obtained Konoha Special Jonin Nakano Sora's Exclusive Forehead Protector!]
'A Forehead Protector?'
Although he was satisfied with a successful 30% chance, looting a Forehead Protector was still somewhat disappointing.
Third attempt.
[Failure!]
Overall, it was not bad.
Last time he obtained underwear and earrings. This time he got a Forehead Protector. At least he had already drawn a decent Ninjutsu earlier. Otherwise, he might have started cursing.
But...
'I feel like these items have a specific purpose.'
He had been too excited yesterday and only looked at the cards.
With a thought, he took out the worn Forehead Protector. He placed it in his palm and examined it closely.
Soon, his vision blurred and shifted. A brief sequence of slide-like images appeared before his eyes. It was the perspective of this Anbu ninja.
"Jonin Oishi, the defensive line of the Land of Fire is not tight. Should we..."
"Wait longer. Now is not the time. Although I am reluctant to admit it, the overall strength of Konoha cannot be underestimated."
"Then we?"
"Someone is there!"
Immediately after, a silver light flashed. The images before Maruyama Kifu shattered like a mirror. They turned into powder and scattered.
As expected, it was not that simple. These items had their uses.
He slowly opened his eyes. His expression was slightly shaken.
"It was actually an Iwa Shinobi."
He put away the Forehead Protector.
Although it was only a brief vision and some simple information, he understood the plot. He knew that this situation only meant one thing.
The Third Shinobi World War!
As a defeated nation of the Second Shinobi World War, the Land of Earth and the Hidden Stone Village had not been crippled.
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki of the Both Scales, had always coveted the fertile land of the Land of Fire. He was a leader with powerful strength and iron-fisted methods.
Some said the Third Shinobi World War began because of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village. However, the root cause was that the Hidden Stone Village had already exposed its restless behavior. This gave the Hidden Sand Village enough courage to provoke a war.
He took a silent breath. 'The Third Shinobi World War is coming soon...'
Knowing this information was not entirely a bad thing for him.
The pressure in his heart would be greater. He would feel a sense of urgency.
But on the other hand, once the war started, he would obtain more bodies. The prerequisite was having enough strength to keep himself alive on the battlefield.
War was like a haze covering his heart.
He hesitated but took out the earring. He only hoped the information from this earring was not so heavy.
A slide-show vision unfolded before Maruyama Kifu again.
"Sister, are you going on another mission?" The speaker was an exquisite little girl who looked like a doll. Her simple clothes could not hide the intelligence in her eyes.
However, the girl's smile revealed frustration.
A hand gently pressed on her head and rubbed it. A gentle voice sounded. "Mhm. Kana must be good and study."
"But..." The girl rubbed the corner of her clothes with her fingers.
"Sister remembers. It will be Kana's birthday in a few days. I will return in time."
"Mhm! Mhm!" The girl nodded like a woodpecker. She showed a hint of playfulness. "There must be a gift."
"Okay." The voice was full of affection.
Looking at the back of the female ninja as she walked away, the girl could no longer maintain her smile. It was gradually replaced by worry.
"Sister must come back. Kana will be good and wait for you to return."
She clenched her small hands as if praying or comforting herself.
The vision dissipated.
Maruyama Kifu held the earring.
It contained the bond between a younger sister and an older sister.
It was not as heavy as war, but it still carried a lot of weight.
The birthday gift the sister gave the girl was not just an earring. It was a promise.
What the younger sister truly wanted was not a gift. She wanted her sister to return safely and whole.
However, that was no longer possible.
In the world of the Hokage, there were too many stories of sisters seeing off sisters, brothers seeing off brothers, and sons seeing off fathers.
Konoha looked peaceful, but it was actually built bit by bit with the lives, blood, and tears of these ordinary ninjas.
It was a pile of white bones and flowing tears.
Maruyama Kifu felt a sense of responsibility. It was the responsibility to fulfill the final wishes of these bodies and the deceased.
As he had said himself, it was for peace of mind.
Finally, he took out the piece of underwear that also came from the female ninja. He squeezed it in his hand for a long time. He looked it over inside and out.
Fine. It really was just an ordinary piece of underwear.
