Chapter 127
Senju Tobirama didn't come, but Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Kamatsuki did. Yuhi's heart was in a mess, and her mind was as if it had been drained, completely blank.
When she walked in front of the two demons with the will to survive, she looked at Uchiha Madara's cold face that suppressed cold anger, and then looked at Uchiha Kamatsuki with red eyes. The little girl seemed to have just cried, and she didn't even wear shoes. She was carried around by Madara.
Looking at these two unreliable guys, Yuhi's head suddenly split, and her eyes were a little blurry.
She suddenly had a feeling that she might not survive today...
It was obvious that she was not the only one who had this premonition. The ninjas present were all trembling with fear, shaking like sieves, and couldn't work properly. There was no way, as the leading sister, Yuhi's head could only bite the bullet and meet them.
"Lord Madara, Lord Kamatsuki, I am Rose from the Yuhi clan..."
Although Rose from Yuhi did not dare to be negligent and was so respectful that she could not find any fault, Uchiha Madara did not pay any attention to her mood. The things that happened just now made him have a strong hostility towards all adult humans. The innocent Rose from Yuhi was caught in the crossfire and even stopped breathing because of the awe-inspiring murderous intent. The sadness in her heart surged endlessly like the tide, and thousands of words turned into one sentence-
It would be better for Tobirama Senju to come over!
In order to prevent these two great gods from hindering the work of the living ninjas, and to protect her own career, Rose from Yuhi could only use herself as bait and proposed to take the two of them to the side. Such a great act full of sacrificial spirit immediately attracted the living ninjas to look at her with the eyes of a hero.
Woohoo, Lord Yuhi, have a good journey, don't die!
......
Although I want to take the two of them around, this place is really not a place worth visiting. Compared with Konoha, this place is too desolate.
Shen Yue and Madara followed Xi Ri Qiang around and found that the surrounding forests had already invaded the borders of the village. There were collapsed houses and abandoned wells everywhere. None of them were intact. Only broken walls and ruins were left sleeping in the loess. However, from the remaining outlines, it can be seen that these collapsed buildings were magnificent and open, and they should have been very prosperous in the past.
Although the living ninjas worked very hard, constantly digging, building, and moving, it was not enough for them to completely rescue this mostly abandoned village in less than a week.
Uchiha Madara frowned. He remembered very clearly that the reason why Senju Tobirama chose this place as the first choice for Konoha's expansion was not only because this place was relatively close to Konoha, which was convenient for resource sharing and military deployment between the two places, but also because this place used to be a very prosperous agricultural town in the Land of Fire, with large tracts of arable land and well-connected transportation routes.
But the desolate scene in front of him made him wonder. How could this place be called a prosperous agricultural town? It was an overestimation to call it a beggar's den. Was Senju Tobirama really right?
"How could this place be so desolate?"
Xi Ri Qiang hurriedly explained:
"Lord Madara, the situation here was actually worse before we came. This is what we have cleaned up..."
The chaotic wars that lasted for thousands of years during the Warring States Period caused inestimable damage to agriculture, commerce and even the entire human civilization.
Take this once prosperous town as an example. After the wars were ignited and extinguished several times, the huge wealth that had been accumulated here through agriculture and commerce was completely taken away. But what was really fatal was that the fertile land in the past was also trampled by the war, the crops were destroyed, and most of the farmers and livestock were killed. This was the fundamental reason why this place could never recover.
As for the land that has no use value, the ninjas and nobles who are the culprits can of course just walk away, but the farmers who beg for food on the land have nowhere to go. They can only be abandoned and desolate with the town until they are swallowed up by the ruthless nature and the world.
Those magnificent buildings that were casually destroyed by the ninjas are still ruins today. The lives of farmers are already difficult. It is a luxury to maintain their livelihoods and fill their stomachs. There is no extra money and energy to rebuild their homes. Many of their cultivated lands are completely abandoned due to lack of manpower and livestock.
The Land of Fire is originally a country full of forests. As long as the cultivated land that has been hard to open up is abandoned, the forest will thrive in turn. The roads that have been hard opened up by the predecessors are completely blocked by the increasingly lush forests. Once there are no roads and benefits, the merchants who come and go will completely abandon this place.
The land that was once hard-cultivated was forced to return to forests, but the forests are constantly expanding on the earth, this is definitely not a good thing for the farmers who make a living from the land, and for the people who make a living from these farmers, but such examples are everywhere in the land of the Land of Fire.
In the final analysis, the endless war between ninjas is a ruthless catastrophe, which has brought endless pain and trauma to this land, but now, they can finally cultivate and build on this land instead of destroying and killing.
Perhaps, this is also a kind of atonement.
Under the leadership of Xiri Qiang, standing on the newly built stone road, Shen Yue and Madara watched from afar how the ninjas opened up the farmland-
The ninjas who can use wind escape and earth escape gathered in the front, using wind escape to cut down big trees and earth escape to clean up tree roots. The remaining living ninjas carried axes and shovels to clean up the scattered stones and broken soil everywhere, and occasionally used fire escape to burn weeds.
The division of labor among the people was clear. With their tacit cooperation, a large area of virgin forest was opened up and cleared in just a few minutes, just waiting for further sorting and cultivation.
"Master, you see, the efficiency is actually very high."
Lying in Madara's arms, Shen Yue praised him approvingly. She roughly calculated that if she continued to maintain such efficiency, it would not be a problem to open up a hundred acres of land a day.
Xi Ri Qiang was deeply moved by Shen Yue's praise, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that Madara's face looked a little better, although it was really just a little bit.
Seeing her boss's praise, Xi Ri Qiang, who was a little bolder, couldn't help but ask her boss for manpower, materials and money.
It seemed easy to watch them open up here, but it was impossible to use ninjutsu all day long, and chakra was very energy-consuming. Although Konoha had a lot of supplies, most of them were eaten by the ninjas who were like starving ghosts.
And the supply was just a small problem, after all, it could still be delivered. The most important thing was that the manpower allocated to her was really not enough!
"Lord Shenyue, can Konoha send some more people, especially teachers, as well as funds and materials? It's really not enough!"
Shenyue looked embarrassed. Funds and materials were not a big problem. The money robbed from the nobles before was enough for Konoha to squander for several years, but manpower...
The life ninjas that Konoha has cultivated in recent years have basically been digested by Konoha itself. It is already the limit to be able to squeeze out so many people. It is really beyond its ability to send out another batch of people to support.
After all, the number of life ninjas is still not enough!
Now it is so tight to open up some small places. Wouldn't it be even more deadly to rule the entire Fire Country in the future?
Shenyue, who was overwhelmed, sighed slightly and asked about the education problem here in Xiri Qiang. If possible, she really hopes that these people will learn to read on the first day, learn chakra refining on the second day, and come out to work for her on the third day!
"Is the school okay? Are the students still obedient?"
"Well, they are very obedient, but the problem is that these people just don't listen..."
It's okay if we don't mention education, but once we mention it, Xiri Qiang gets a headache. It can only be said that fortunately she is not the one in charge of teaching, otherwise she would really be pissed off by these villagers!
There is no way. The farmers in the ninja world are top-level obedient people who have been selected layer by layer under the double pressure of nobles and ninjas, but it is really difficult to cultivate the ability of these humans who are about to degenerate into livestock to learn things again!
"Children can still learn something, but adults..."
After thinking for a long time, the desperate Xiri Qiang glanced at Uchiha Madara's bad face again. In order to save her life, she cleverly chose a more euphemistic statement:
"I'm afraid it will take a long time."
So the next stop for Madara and Shenyue was to follow Xiri Qiang to the school temporarily built by the living ninjas.
It was daytime, and the school was still full of children. It happened to be a math class. The teacher was asking a question in the classroom:
"The teacher is going to give the students fruits. If I give everyone two apples, and the teacher still has one apple in his hand, how many apples are there in total..."
"Teacher, where are the apples?"
When the children heard that there were apples to eat, the whole classroom was in an uproar. They were yelling and whining. They didn't listen to the question at all, but drooled all over the floor.
"Can you eat the apples later? Tell the teacher how many apples there are in total..."
"Apples, apples, apples!!!"
The children interrupted the teacher's question again. This time, they shouted in protest and slapped the table desperately, knocking the apples on the table.Books and stationery were thrown around, and a little boy even stood on the table, as if he would not give up until he got an apple.
Looking at this group of naughty children, Shen Yue was horrified. How could they be human cubs? They were clearly a group of hungry little beasts!
Xi Ri Qiang covered her face with her hands and lamented:
"Forgive them. Before we came, the children here didn't even wear pants!"
"..."×3
Well, it is true that we can't expect such a group of little kids who are raised as beasts by adults to suddenly understand the importance of discipline and knowledge.
Suddenly, the children's pig-killing screams interrupted Shen Yue's meditation. The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the teacher with sparks in her eyes was holding a whip and beating the disobedient students fiercely, especially the little boy who stood on the table to protest. He was beaten so hard that he screamed and cried like crazy.
"If you can't solve this problem today, forget about the apples, and forget about dinner!"
"..."×3
Well, it seems that this is Konoha's special education.
