REVIEWS AND POWERSTONES PLSSS!!!!!Chapter 176: Even Rain Shinobi Get Killed
At this time in the Land of Rain, devastation spread everywhere. Ruins and rubble littered the landscape. Casualties were countless.
Large numbers of shinobi ran back and forth, clearing ruins and treating the injured.
The Land of Rain was originally a small nation. Its medical system wasn't complete. Everywhere you could see people missing arms or legs who couldn't receive timely treatment, only leaning against walls moaning weakly.
Shinyo and Karin had previously "worked" in a hospital in the Land of Grass. Though no one specifically taught them, through exposure they'd learned considerable emergency knowledge.
After arriving in the Land of Rain, they felt long-absent warmth and care here, so now they proactively came out to help.
Two redheads swiftly moved through the crowd, ceaselessly busy.
"Um, why don't you... bite my arm?"
Seeing a familiar neighbor's current appearance of unbearable suffering, Karin couldn't help feeling compassionate, making a wrong decision.
That person half-doubtfully bit Karin's arm. Then under everyone's stunned gazes, the wounds on his body healed at visible speed. His fractured leg also regenerated.
When seeing this person rise from the ground appearing completely unharmed, everyone around went crazy.
"Let me bite too!"
"Me too!"
"Please!"
A group of people dragging broken legs, clutching intestines... their faces fanatic, surged toward Karin. With bared teeth and waving claws, just like a horde of zombies.
Karin was terrified, even forgetting the jutsu she knew. She hastily turned and ran.
But at this moment, injured people were everywhere on the streets. From all directions, people had witnessed the previous miracle. Their gazes toward Karin now were no different from the others.
Worse still, some "clever person" after seeing Karin's special trait immediately turned their attention to her mother, Shinyo.
Since they were mother and daughter, presumably the effect should be similar!
The entire street immediately boiled over. Groups divided, surging toward the mother and daughter.
"Let me bite!"
One person dragging a broken arm, blind in one eye, yet charging fastest, reached Karin first. Lunging forward, mouth opening to bite.
"Ahh..." Karin screamed, instinctively closing her eyes. Past nightmares returned to her mind.
But the next moment, a figure flashed. Haku blocked before Karin, kicking that person flying away.
"Miss Karin, are you alright?"
"I, I'm fine. Thank you so much, Haku."
Karin remained shaken, stammering her gratitude to Haku.
"Let's leave here quickly!"
Haku pulled Karin to leave, but figures flashed from all sides. Many shinobi blocked their path.
These shinobi were wrapped entirely in bandages, covered in wounds. Many missing arms or legs. Their eyes now also filled with greedy expressions, looking at Karin while swallowing saliva.
"Hey, little girl. Looking at those eyes, you're Konoha Village's rogue ninja from the Uchiha clan, right?"
"You fled Konoha Village and live here, receiving protection from the deity and angel-sama. Shouldn't you contribute to the village too?"
These years under Nagato and Akatsuki's protection, Amegakure had indeed become peaceful, but this led to a serious problem.
The new generation of shinobi seriously lacked respect for Five Great Villages' shinobi.
Especially after Akatsuki destroyed Konoha Village, Amegakure shinobi became incredibly arrogant, probably forgetting even their own names.
Previously, Amegakure shinobi seeing a three-tomoe Sharingan user would immediately hide in fear. But now seeing Karin's mother and daughter, not only unafraid, they dared actively provoke them.
"Back off!" Haku brandished a kunai, coldly shouting: "Miss Karin is Uchiha Yasushi-sama's clansman. Not someone you can casually bully!"
"Uchiha Yasushi?"
Miscellaneous voices immediately rose from the crowd. Some wisely turned and left immediately. But some remained extremely self-righteous, unable to read the situation.
"Hmph, isn't he still just an Uchiha?"
One person called out dissatisfied, looking left and right, stirring emotions among surrounding people, wanting to gain everyone's support.
"Doesn't he still have to follow deity-sama's orders?"
"This is Amegakure, our Land of Rain shinobi's territory!"
"Deity-sama and angel-sama are both our Amegakure shinobi. They'll definitely support their own people!"
Surprisingly, his words gained considerable agreement. More people became agitated.
"That's right! Even Uchiha Yasushi is merely sheltered here in our Amegakure."
"Without deity-sama's protection, Konoha Village people would have caught and killed him long ago."
"You better remember this is Amegakure, not your Konoha Village. Not somewhere you do whatever you want!"
"This is also letting you contribute to the village. With contributions, you're qualified to continue staying here."
"You'd better be sensible and obediently let us bite. It won't kill you anyway. Why be so stingy?"
The group pressed forward step by step. Haku and Karin nervously retreated, but were quickly cornered with nowhere to go.
Haku whispered in Karin's ear:
"Miss Karin, prepare yourself. I'll use Ice Release to open a path shortly. You charge along the road forward. Don't look back."
"Huh? What about you?" Karin's voice trembled.
"Don't worry about me." Haku spoke firmly. "I'm Yasushi-sama's tool. No matter what, I won't let you get harmed."
Haku's determination deeply moved Karin. When had she ever encountered someone willing to risk their life saving her?
Just as Haku formed hand seals intending to fight desperately, an icy voice sounded in their ears.
"Nagato truly indulges you too much. You don't even understand what you are."
That voice seemed to come from hell's depths, carrying bone-chilling killing intent.
Before words finished, the ground trembled. A large tree suddenly drilled from beneath that shinobi group's feet. The canopy spread umbrella-like. Each branch tip sharpened into spikes, piercing in all directions like javelins.
After a series of muffled thuds, that shinobi group's bodies were pierced front to back by thick branches, suspended on the treetop.
The group watched helplessly as their intestines spilled out, blood flowing down the branches. Feeling life leaving their bodies bit by bit, yet unable to die immediately, they completely broke down, screaming miserably.
"Save me!"
"I don't want to die!"
"I was wrong! Spare me!"
