Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 494

“Master, please save us!”

After talking about the Buddha, the village chief took the only twenty people left in the village and knelt in front of Lao Zi.

“To endure the sufferings of the world, this is practice.” Lao Zi sighed, “I am also on this path of practice, and I have not yet completed the cultivation of others.”

“But you used to be a ninja!” The village chief raised his head, his dim complexion flushed, and said excitedly, “Master, with that incredible power, you must be able to help us!”

“What I can help you is only to make your souls sustenance and face the sufferings in life calmly.” Lao Zi shook his head, “because I am also one of the sufferings in this world.”

“What?” The village chief didn’t understand Lao Zi’s words, and the other villagers looked at each other. The expressions they had expected gradually dimmed and turned into desperate gray.

“That’s it.” Lao Zi didn’t explain, got up and passed the crowd, “I will stay here for three days. If you have any questions about what I said, you can come to me at any time.”

No one cared about what he said. The villagers who had difficulty filling their stomachs had no feelings about the practice and suffering of Lao Zi. Their only hope was to eat and live!

Therefore, Lao Zi is destined to be a lonely marching monk, and there will be no companions in his practice.

The next day, Lao Zi still sat cross-legged in yesterday’s place, facing a single-digit audience, telling about the things he encountered on the path of spiritual practice and the corresponding feelings.

It’s just that he regards suffering as the hardship and test encountered in his practice, and for the villagers who are very difficult to live, there is no attraction, not even the role of amusement.

Therefore, when the day ended, the villagers had completely ignored him, and only the village chief was still beside him, begging and praying from time to time.

“Suffering is practice, I can’t help you.” The sky dimmed, Lao Zi said and got up and left.

“You have the ability to help us, you just don’t want to help!” The village head finally couldn’t bear it. He said angrily: “What kind of shit training and hardship, this is simply an excuse!”

Hearing this, Lao Zi stopped, sighed and shook his head.

Seeing the other party stop, the village head’s expression changed, from furious to a sad and sorrowful appearance, his tone also softened, and he cried and said: “Please help us, we can’t last long, even if this is right. Our test should also come to an end. Perhaps, perhaps because of this, you will come here at this time?”

Having said that, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “It must be the case. You will be here for no reason!”

Hearing these words, Lao Zi turned around, frowned and looked at each other, and then saw this village in a desolate land, and couldn’t help but think: Is it really as he said, here is his path of cultivation? test?

“I need to think about it.” Old Zi looked at the village chief and said.

“Okay, okay!” The village chief responded quickly, with a touch of joy of seeing hope on his face.

As night fell, the shadow of the Bone Hill Mountains covered the village, immersing the village in the darkness of deathly silence.

Lao Zi was sitting on the top of the thatched cottage, and the cold wind blowing in the night made him shrink his neck, thinking about what the village chief said.

Part of his practice is to control the Four Tails in the body, and the other part is derived from his own beliefs. He believes that human beings exist in the world to gain something after experiencing the world and obtain peace of mind.

Therefore, he was extremely opposed and dissatisfied with Onoki’s instigating warfare and causing chaos in the Shinobi world. After all, there was enough suffering in the world.

It’s just that he doesn’t have the ability to change Ohnoki, and he can’t change the entire Ninja World. He can only change himself and embark on the path of spiritual practice, hoping to achieve detachment.

He came to the most remote place in the Ninja world, pretending to be a parade monk, propagating the idea of ​​spiritual practice, but he walked all the way, but no one followed his footsteps.

But this did not shake him, he just became more and more firm in his ideas, thinking that everyone else is in his own practice, and he only needs to take care of himself.

However, the village chief’s words made him a little shaken. He had only thought that the practice only needed to take care of himself and ignore other people. But if other people were also part of his practice, then perhaps his previous path was wrong.

“Maybe, I should try it.” Old Zi said hesitantly.

Moonlight swayed down through the gaps in the stratus clouds, Lao Zi’s red hair, fluttering in the night wind, fell into the eyes of a figure hidden in the dark.

“Found it.” Xia Shu narrowed her eyes and sneaked into the village quietly.

Finding the goal is only the first step. Next, we need to plan an action plan and find the best entry point based on the actual situation, which requires some time for investigation and research.

The next day, before dawn, the villagers gathered in front of Lao Zi, summoned by the village chief.

“My lord, as you said, suffering is practice, but obviously not everyone can conquer suffering.” The village chief said in a weak tone, “When we are weak, our only choice is to ask for help. The stronger one, so please cross us!”

Lao Zi frowned and didn’t respond immediately. He hadn’t figured it out yet.

“My lord, please cross us!” The villagers knelt on the ground and said in unison.

Old Zi frowned harder, but he still didn’t make a decision.

He left Iwagakure because of a conflict of ideas. Although he is a little shaken now, he still cannot make a decision easily.

“To cross us is to cross yourself!” The village chief hurriedly shouted, “You help us through the suffering, it is your practice, and our destiny is the result of your practice!”

Hearing this, Lao Zi loosened his brows slightly, and his previously shaken idea began to change.

“I don’t know what the future will be, and whether I have the ability to help you through the suffering, but maybe this is…”

Lao Zi finally let go, only halfway through his words, a “village” suddenly jumped up and drew a sharp blade towards him.

“Take it to death! Four Tails Jinchūriki!” A loud shout came from the “village”, and Lao Zi couldn’t help being surprised by the content of the words.

However, although the other party’s words were astonishing, the movements weren’t fast enough, and it was full of flaws in Lao Zi’s eyes.

“Drink!” Lao Zi bounced quickly from the ground, flashing the sharp stabbing sideways, and at the same time, his clenched fists hit the opponent’s abdomen without hesitation.

Bang! ~

The hot fist hit the enemy, but the opponent suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and dispersed, revealing a few fast-burning detonating charms.
