Chapter 952 The girl with broken wings
Sand Village is a special existence among the villages of the five major countries. Although it is the largest among the five countries, it is the weakest in overall strength.
They have a sparse population and almost no area to cultivate. Only a few large oasis have cities. Water sources are even scarce resources and no resources to export. After all, the ninja world does not need something like oil.
Therefore, Sakura Village initially had a nickname in the ninja world, called "a big beggar". In summary, it was just a word, "poor".
It is precisely because of this that every time there is a war, no matter how big or small, most of the Sand Village will get involved. After all, the war is the best money. The most famous one is naturally the Second Ninja World War. Taking advantage of the battle between Konoha and Yun Hidden Village, they suddenly launched an attack and made a fortune, and they made a fortune.
Since then, Konoha has added another name to Sand Village, "the shit-scratch stick in the ninja world", and has quickly gained recognition from other big villages.
In the current situation of the Third Ninja World War, the tradition of disrupting the situation in Sakai Village has begun to appear again. Although its frontal battlefield has not yet opened up, people have been separated to join in the country of Rain to join in the fun, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
Konoha really hated this kind of behavior. If Iwa Ninja Village had not been constantly investing in ninjas on the battlefield, they might have concentrated all their strength to launch a general attack on Sand Hidden Village.
It's so annoying...
However, all the actions of Sand Hidden Village have no practical significance except to make the chaos in the Rain Country even more uncontrollable.
———————————————————————
The sky was drizzling, and the cold wind mixed with rain blew, bringing a biting cold to the people of this country.
The rain fell from the eaves in a string, like a hanging bead curtain. The hazy mist filled the air, a bit ethereal, obscuring people's vision.
The rain hit the earth quickly, bringing a kind of tranquility that is isolated from the world.
If some literati who have no worries about food and clothing may feel moved when they see this scene, and write a very beautiful poem and are proud of it.
But in reality, this scene is not beautiful at all, but rather means absolute cruelty.
Guru...
Because of hunger, the little girl under the eaves shrank her legs and pulled down her broken and thin clothes, hoping to cover up the cold more, although it was actually useless.
She curled her body and looked around gently in the corner behind the house. She was very careful and buried a face in her arms, revealing only her eyes.
Depending on her age, she should be only about four or five years old, dirty and thin, as if a gust of cold wind could blow her down.
But her eyes were very beautiful, like a kind of amber, transparent and bright, with rain stained on her hair, which was blown by the wind at the eaves. Even so, it was still obvious that her hair was withered, proving that she was in a state of malnutrition for a long time.
But her hair color is very good, it is a light blue and purple color, which is rare among ordinary people. If she can handle it, it will be a noble color.
However, she obviously had no interest in her hair color at this time. Compared to these, she cared more about whether there was food, even a little bit.
Unfortunately, nothing can be seen except the cold rain. In this country that has become a battlefield, even people rarely see it on weekdays.
She actually knew that she knew it after eating the last bite of hard bread three days ago, but she still couldn't control her hunger. It felt like a demon, always entangled her.
Woo... Woo...
A slight voice sounded beside her, and she turned her head and was a thin brown puppy, the size of two palms, lying beside her, with her ears hanging down, and she could see that the dog was hungry... just like herself.
But she had no food. After thinking about it, she let go of her curly hands and took out a piece of white paper in her arms. It was the only item she had now, except for the ragged clothes on her body.
With her hands agilely changed, the white paper quickly became a vivid paper crane. She was praised since she was a child for her talent for origami and also liked origami very much. Because she was cute when she smiled, she was called "little angel" by her parents and kept telling her that angels are the most beautiful existence in the world.
So she often orchestrated paper cranes, fantasizing that these paper cranes could fly to the sky and meet those beautiful "angels" instead of herself.
The moment the paper crane was folded, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and there was a lot of dirt on her face. It was not good-looking at this time, but with her smile, it seemed like a little light to give it a little warmth to this cold corner.
She put the paper crane in front of the puppy. The hungry puppy looked up in confusion, sniffed twice, and then fell down in disappointment... It was not food.
Seeing the reaction of the puppy, the light in her eyes dimmed again. She put the paper crane aside in disappointment and curled up her body again.
After a while, she seemed to think of something again. She stretched out her hands and took a handful of rain from the eaves, and put it in front of the puppy.
The puppy sniffed lightly, and then he lost all his interest again, and there was no shortage of water here...
Guru...
The screams of hunger sounded again. She sighed silently and poured out the water in her hand. The rain still showed no sign of stopping. However, there was no trace of people in this area. Even the house where she was was destroyed, destroyed by the war of ninjas. The house was not as good as the wind shelter.
Another cold wind blew, and she shivered, and her body became colder. With hunger, she felt that she might not be able to last tonight. But even if she got up at this time and was going to find food, the biggest possibility was to fall into the cold rain and turn into the most common corpse in this country...
Slowly closed her eyes, she sighed with her fate, let's do it, if there is a next life, I don't want to be born in such a country, an annoying war... an annoying rain... and an annoying ninja...
