Chapter 36. Darkest Night
“It's because you are too slow .. that we arrived here at night.”
When they arrived, the sun had already set. Danzo scolded them for being sluggish and then pointed to one of the hills. “Find me a place to sleep, I don't want to sleep in the wild, so ... There's a bandit camp there, I want you to kill them all.”
“What!?”
Murasaki surprised.
Kill it!?

Sakumo gripped the handle of his sword tightly, a little nervous and a little lost, but not afraid.
His clan is meant to be the best assassin among ninjas, and he has been groomed for it since he was a child.
“Kill them all?”
Akabane still can't believe what she's hearing.
“Yes, men, women, and children kill them all!”
After he said it, he looked at them with cold eyes, “I didn't mean to help you do your mission, so you have to do it yourself.
“It's too much.”
Murasaki was terrified, and her hands were trembling.
He put up with killing men, but women and their children were too heavy for him.
“Understanding, sensei!”

Sakumo ventured out and pulled out his sword, got up, and went to the camp.
Border patrol means killing bandits and robbers who will cause trouble for the traveler. Even if it wasn't in the details of the mission, one had to do it.
Akabane let out a light sigh, took out her drawing tool, and headed to the camp behind Sakumo.
This was their mission as ninjas, no matter how ruthless it was, it had to be done.
“Akabane and Sakumo are already going to the hill, Murasaki.. what are you going to do?”
Danzo watched them leave, slowly followed them and left Murasaki.
Akabane was an adult, Sakumo always had murderous blood in him, but Murasaki did not have such determination.
The hill was drawing near, and Akabane could already see the glittering lights of the camp.
“Shimura-sensei wants us to kill children..”.
“We have to go through it sooner or later, but we are one step ahead. This is what it means to be a ninja.”
Akabane said lightly.
Even though I still feel shocked, I need to calm down. Otherwise, what is the difference between these little ones?
Sakumo put his hand on the sword and said, “My father taught me since I was a child that the sword was meant to be used as a killing tool, and a ninja was born to kill. As Akabane said, sooner or later, we will still see situations like this.”

“I've always been trained to be a ninja. I just want to kill enemy ninjas.”.
Murasaki clenched her hands.
After all, they are all children. How could they easily accept the fact that they had killed a child and a woman.
“If you can't accept it, I'll deal with the kids.”
Sakumo raised his sword without hesitation.
“No, I will deal with children by killing them with my genjutsu.”
Akabane takes the drawing board and goes to the camp; her five control senses are able to kill them painlessly.
“No, I should also do it.”
“I'm not as good as you guys. If I retreat now, I will always be left behind.”
“I'll take it as a test to be a true ninja!”
Murasaki gnashed her teeth and stepped first towards the encampment.
His speed exploded, and he reached the encampment in the blink of an eye.
No matter how ruthless the bandits were, they were just ordinary people, and the three of them were Konoha ninja, they had no chance of survival.
…
Blood sprayed everywhere, followed by corpses falling to the ground.
“Descenders, they are ninjas! Escape!”
“Go go!”
“We will stop them! Guide kids through the woods!”
The bandits are in chaos. They did not expect to be attacked.
“Dirt! He's too fast!”
“Jutsu Fire Release!”
Flames gushed out, and countless small fireballs flew from outside and danced in the camp.
Suddenly, many bandits came out of the camp, they were burned and shouted horribly.
“Run run..”
Amidst the screams, silhouettes of people were running through the flames.
Yet…
In the blink of an eye, their necks were cut quickly by Sakumo.
Akabane was sitting in the middle of the road, behind the hill,
“Mother, why do we go?”
“Because we're being attacked by ninjas.
Who's sitting there?
The bandit leading the way stopped, his eyes were alert, “Who are you?”
“Ninja, her.. forehead protector on her head is Konoha Ninja!”
Someone shouted in surprise.
“We are not bandits. We just want to escape from Uzumaki Village.”.
Another woman kneels on her face, pleading, “We just want to live, please have mercy.”
“Sorry, I just did my mission.”
Akabane looked around, and no one present had red hair, as the characteristics of Uzumaki Village were their red hair.
So he didn't hesitate.
He finished the picture.
“Genjutsu: Five Senses Control!”
Everyone entered his picture and was killed inside.
“Silent and painless death, it is my mercy.”
Akabane uses Kekkei Genkai to erase all their pain, allowing them to end their lives one by one in their dreams.
These were all ordinary people, and did not require much effort.
After that, the scroll was torn apart.
Everyone fell to the ground, and there was frostbite on everyone as if they were frozen to death.
Akabane saw the mess and remained silent for a long time.
He killed someone.
Killing without blood was scarier than seeing blood because Akabane could not even feel regret in her heart, as if it was just erasing a piece of the image on her scroll, instead stabbing someone in her throat.
“Village Uzumaki. That is, Danzo came here after she felt the crisis in Uzumaki Village.”.
Akabane was not stupid and understood everything immediately.
The destruction of Uzumaki Village was long planned by someone.
“Akabane, you seem to understand something?”
A voice came from behind.
Shimura Danzo!
Akabane turned around, then bowed slightly, thought for a moment, and said, “Sensei, they are all from Uzumaki Village, but they are treated as bandits after escaping from the village.”.
“What do you mean? speak with courage.”
danzo's nagging.
“It looks like daimyo doesn't want Uzumaki Village to exist.”
Akabane said her conclusions were based on the current situation and her understanding of history.
“What?”
Danzo chuckled, his hand seal suddenly made, followed by a strong wind from his mouth, a wind that swept across the ground like a blade, and a huge hole appeared in no time.
“It's done now.”
Whatisit?
A body that can be used as evidence.
Akabane just stood still. If he wanted to live a simple and stable life like before, he should not ask too many questions.
“Then what do you think we should do next?”
Danzo said lightly.
A question seems to ask for advice, but in reality, it is more of a test.
Akabane pondered for a moment and said, “Sama as you do.”
“Hahaha, yes, I commend you for that.”
Danzo slowly climbed into the campground.
Akabane buries the remaining bodies before rejoining her team.
“Sensei, it looks like I'm going to sleep in the forest tonight, there's no way I can sleep in that camp.”
Akabane. The camp was full of chaos, corpses, and blood everywhere. And it's clear that everyone except them is dead.
“Yes, I don't mind.”
Danzo randomly found a tent to sleep in.
Murasaki and Sakumo hesitated for a moment and then stayed in the room where they killed the person next door.
Akabane followed and saw the two of them looking pale.
The bodies had been buried, but the room was still full of blood, plus they had just killed someone. How did they sleep well tonight?
“Akabane, they don't even have knives, just hoes, kitchen knives, guys like this.”.
“Not bandit at all.”
Murasaki was in pain, with fear and guilt on her face. At the same time, Sakumo beside him became even more silent.
“We have no other choice.”
From the beginning, Akabane knew that she had no other choice.
If he had a choice, he would rather stay in Konoha and draw his comics comfortably without leaving his home.
“We have to bear it for now.”
Akabane means something vague.
At this moment, the blood in the tent had frozen, giving off an even more unpleasant smell.
