Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 285 Encounter
The village where the inner wheel family is located is hidden in the deep mountains and surrounded by mountains, so after leaving the village, they soon entered a vast forest.

"Where shall we go now?"

The group of people mustered up all their strength and ran aimlessly in the forest for a long time, until they could no longer see the shadow of the village, then gradually slowed down and began to discuss the next road.

Neilan Longyi stood on the tree trunk, condescendingly looked around, and said.

"Although the chief of the Taiyi clan trapped those people, there are enemy surveillance points in the mountains outside the inner wheel clan. Now the entire periphery is estimated to be surrounded. With the strength of us alone, it is difficult to break out from here. .”

"what?"

Akiko looked at him suspiciously when she heard this, she couldn't understand why.

"What do you mean by monitoring point? Isn't the inner circle clan supposed to be a hermit group outside the control of the empire? Why is there an empire's surveillance point next to it? And, where are Brother Yukimura and Uncle Yosuke? What is going on between the clan and the empire?"

She was a little impatient, and asked a lot of questions quickly.

To be honest, everything that happened today has made Akiko very confused.

The Inner Wheel Clan, which was supposed to be extremely safe, was suddenly attacked by the enemy without any warning, without even a little preliminary preparation. The barriers and guards outside seemed to be ineffective, and no warning was released.

Then there was the identity of the enemy. Although everyone knew in their hearts that the enemy was probably a member of the empire, Akiko and the others had never seen an enemy who was wearing black armor and was safe even if his head was pierced.

That is not something that can be easily seen in ordinary times. All the information shows that this is a planned action that has been premeditated for a long time.

Of course, everything above can be explained by the discovery of the hiding place, but the next conversation between Taichi Uchiwa and the Heijia man cannot be understood.

What does "we have done as agreed" mean?
What agreement?
Agreement with whom?
What is the content of the agreement?
These strange dialogues and obvious loopholes caused Akiko to feel an inexplicable fear, and she even began to wonder, who was the person she followed in the past few years?Descendants of the ninja, or, minions of the empire?
"The inner wheel family has never been a free group that escaped from the control of the empire. We are just pigs raised in captivity by the empire."

Neilunqin's body trembled, she lowered her head, and said slowly in a strange tone.

"The purpose of our existence is to provide them with qualified Sharingan in batches."

Her voice was cold and mournful.

Before leaving the village, Taichi Uchiwa projected the truth of all this into Uchiharaqin's mind through the latest sharingan eye contact, so she now understands all the facts.

That, almost insane fact.

"what!"

Youdou was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help asking.

"How could this be? Didn't you say..."

"That's all a deceiving illusion."

When it came to this topic, Ryuichi Uchiwa's tone became much more lonely.

"The Empire collects Sharingan every 30 years, but it takes a strong mental stimulation to activate Sharingan. Therefore, we will create a living environment where we can live and work in peace. Children living in this environment can accept the outside world. The almost perfect childhood life that most children will never enjoy, therefore, when such a dream is destroyed in an instant, the stimulation it brings is much stronger than the normal state, and it can also stimulate the most excellent writing wheel Eye."

"how come……"

Youdou opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"In that case..."

He took a deep breath and said in disbelief.

"Yes."

Nai Ryuuichi nodded sullenly, verifying his horrifying conjecture.

"From the very beginning, the Inner Wheel Clan has been the prey of the empire. The guards, barriers, and peaceful environment you have seen are all means to deceive outsiders and those who don't know the truth."

"Ha ha……"

At this time, Nei Lunfeng, who was being carried on the back by Nei Lunlong, suddenly laughed miserably, raised his head numbly, and said so strangely.

"Do you believe it? For hundreds of years, the people who have guarded the Inner Wheel family from being disturbed by the outside world are actually the empire. It is they who ensured that we have a prosperous life, they gave us sufficient supplies, and they specially arranged for them. Wild dogs and hunting dogs will not easily come to this place, and even the enchantment outside that you think is very powerful, it is said that they built it for us."

His face was contorted, and he whispered in such a miserable and crazy way.

"Even when some of us are sick, he will send doctors to treat us. The reason for all this is not because they are kind to us, but because they want to get more perfect and more eyes."

He coughed a few times, protruding a mouthful of blood, and continued.

"Just like piglets locked in a farm, human beings provide them with spacious and bright houses, exquisite food, wonderful partners, and regular health checks, in order to obtain their piglets when they grow up. Meat. We, the Inner Wheel Clan, are the piglets raised by the empire."

"Does everyone know about this?"

Akiko bit her lip. If this is the case, then Uchimoto specially wanted to bring them here from the vicinity of Taki City. Could it be that...

"Do not."

Fortunately, Uchiwa Ryuichi's answer made her feel a lot better.

"The only ones who know about this are the adults who survived the last harvest.

He looked at Uchiwakoto and Uchiwa Takata next to him, and explained in a deep voice.

"Since it is necessary to create a peaceful environment and create a sharp psychological stimulation, then the children cannot be allowed to know the truth of all this in advance. This is the requirement of the empire, and it is also one of the important reasons why the Inner Wheel Clan can be passed down to the present. one."

"In a reincarnation once every 30 years, the empire will send reapers to kill the adults in the village and collect mature sharing eyes from their corpses, and the children who have experienced everything will start a new life under the leadership of a leader. Live in captivity, breed new offspring and eyes, and wait for the next reincarnation."

"God."

Akiko couldn't help covering her mouth, and cried out.

Once every 30 years, kill their parents in front of the children, destroy everything before them, and then wait for these children to grow up and carry out the next round of killing.

This kind of thing that sounds creepy has actually lasted for hundreds of years.

"You... have no one tried to resist?"

She shook her head, she couldn't believe what kind of thoughts the people of the Inner Wheel clan had so calmly accepted this terrible plan.

"Of course there is."

Neilunqin spoke suddenly, the tone was still flat, but it seemed to be full of corpses and blood.

"In the first few rounds, almost every time, someone would try to escape or resist, but every attempt brought about massacres, abuse, and humiliation on a larger scale. After several times, they finally gave up. Such an approach."

In order to be able to continue this plan, and also to allow the Inner Wheel family to pass on, each generation of children will elect a so-called leader. When the harvest night begins, the leader of the previous generation will pass on all All of them are permanently projected into the minds of the next generation of leaders. This cruel plan is completed from generation to generation in this way, and the distorted way of the Inner Wheel Clan has been passed down to the present.

And what Nei Lun Taiyi just passed to Nei Lunqin is the spiritual inheritance passed down from generation to generation by the leaders of the Nei Lun clan hundreds of years ago. Therefore, she now not only knows what happened 30 years ago, but even what happened a hundred years ago. The massacre is also empathetic as if it was a personal experience.

"But……"

Akiko's expression changed, but she still couldn't imagine that someone could accept the fact that she was raised by others.

"There's nothing we can do."

Neilan Longyi said sadly, if given a choice, who would be willing to die by himself, who would want his offspring to grow up in pain and hatred again and again, and then continue to start a new cycle of pain and hatred.

"If we don't agree to their request, not only ourselves, but even our children will be brutally slaughtered. Therefore, the adults in the village have already made psychological preparations to exchange their lives for future generations. continuation."

His answer explained one of Akiko's doubts, why, with so many combatants and far stronger than them, the Inner Clan would be so vulnerable to the intruders, and there were only a few people who escaped. It turned out that those people had no intention of escaping from the beginning, and they might not even have resisted.

"But."

She thought for a while, gritted her teeth, and still felt a little strange.

"In this case, why didn't they kill only the adults this time, but didn't even let the children go?"

Jingzi saw with her own eyes that many children died under the knife of the Heijiaren, and even a child as young as little Annai was almost decapitated.

"I do not know either."

Ryuichi Uchimoto shook his head in a daze and said, this is what he didn't understand.

"Maybe it's because they don't need more eyes anymore."

Neilunqin lowered her head, making her expression unclear.

"There is one thing that even you don't know. About ten days ago, Dad went to the City of Fire by himself and established an agreement with the ruler of the empire there."

"what!"

Uchiwa Ryuichi and Uchiwa Fengta turned their heads at the same time, they really didn't know anything about this matter.

"What agreement?"

Neilunfeng asked too quickly, and his intuition told him that this might be the source of everything.

"That is, an agreement to sell Uchiha Yukimura to the empire in exchange for the freedom of the Uchiha clan."

Neilunqin lowered her eyelids and said a fact that shocked everyone.

"what!"

Yuto and Akiko were surprised at the same time, so to speak, the departure of Yukimura and Uchiwa Yosuke this morning...

"You mean, Brother Yukimura, he..."

The two looked at each other and said worriedly, it's no wonder Yukimura hasn't been seen since such a thing happened.

"You... how could you do this?"

Taro was the first to scream anxiously. He looked at the silent Uchiwa Koto, and then at the surprised Uchiwa Ryuichi. He couldn't believe that someone would do such a thing.

"How could the patriarch do that?"

Several other people also said with ugly faces, although Yukimura is an outsider to the Uchiwa clan, but the other party is still friendly after all, in order to freely betray each other, even the Uchikawa brothers who should have benefited, it sounds very harsh.

"Where is that place? Let's go quickly..."

Uto said anxiously, his relationship with Yukimura was the best, and he was also the most worried, so he planned to save people first without saying a word.

"It's useless. It's probably too late now. Nine o'clock this morning is the date agreed in the agreement."

Neilunqin shook her head lightly and spoke silently.

"According to the agreement, Dad was supposed to lead Yukimura to the agreed ambush location, but the only uncle who knew the inside story seemed... He seemed to want to protect Dad, so he drugged Dad to faint, and took Yukimura himself. In the past, counting the time, they have already..."

She paused here and didn't speak, but everyone else could understand what she didn't finish, not to mention whether their strength is enough to save people from the trap carefully designed by the empire, just judging from the aspect of time Yukimura and the others set off in the morning, and it was almost noon now, so it was already too late.

For a while, several people fell into silence again.

"That's it..."

Uchiwa Taichi murmured in a low voice, with such a plan, no wonder Uchiwa Taichi said that before.

"Damn!"

Yudou clenched his fists hard, he and Akiko glanced at each other, and both could see the uncontrollable shock and anger in each other's eyes.

"how so?"

You Dou gritted his teeth and said, the two looked at several members of the Nei Lun Clan headed by Nei Lunqin, with undisguised anger and alienation in their trembling eyes.

The two really couldn't accept a group that betrayed their companions casually, even if it was just a newcomer.

"..."

Nei Lunqin saw the changes between the two of them and didn't say anything. After all, it was her father who did such a thing, so how could she expect others to understand.

Her expression became much darker again, then she shook her head as if mocking herself, and said.

"Father thought that using this method could bring the long-lost freedom to the inner circle clan. However, just like he easily betrayed Yukimura, the empire also easily betrayed him, and you all know what happened next..."

"This is really..."

Uchiwa Ryuichi sighed and shook his head lightly. Now he finally understood why Uchiwa Taichi called himself a sinner just now.

"So this is ah."

Just when several people were secretly sad and thinking about their own thoughts, suddenly, an abrupt voice came from a tree in front of them.

"who!"

Nei Lunlong was startled suddenly, stopped, and quickly turned his head to look around. Unexpectedly, someone approached such a close distance, but he never noticed it.

"This voice is..."

Taro and Yudo's ears shook, and they couldn't believe it.

"Brother Yukimura!"

The two quickly followed the prestige, and sure enough, under the green shade, they saw the figure they were very familiar with.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Under the watchful eyes of several people, Yukimura came out from behind the cover of the leaves, looked at the group of people full of scars, with vigilance, surprise, joy and disbelief in their eyes, and said lightly.
