The four wave ninjas, all of whose limbs were severed, collapsed on the ground and kept wailing, with large blood stains flowing out. It seemed that they would not live long.
The little girl who was held in Han's arms saw this, broke away from Han, jumped down, and picked up Kunai in Black Sickle's hand.
While crying, he stabbed the bodies of these people with all his strength.
"You bastard! You beast! Give my parents their lives back... wuwuwu..."
Han did not stop her, but stood silently behind the girl, with a look of regret in his eyes.
Obviously they are just a few pieces of trash that are not even Genin, but...
"Alas..." Han sighed deeply and grabbed the girl's wrist.
"That's enough, they are already dead! If you do this again, your parents will not..."
"Why?! Why didn't you come earlier?! Obviously as long as you came earlier, they wouldn't have died. You are the ninja of Iwagakure. Why couldn't you protect us!" The girl interrupted Han's words and stared at the Iwagakure Forehead Protector on Han's forehead with her red and swollen eyes.
"I..." Han was speechless for a moment, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his mouth, but in the end he just sighed, hugged the girl, and said softly:
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Hearing this, the girl lost her voice and cried loudly while immersed in Han's arms.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
After the girl has lost strength from crying and is so tired that she falls asleep.
Han stood up silently and began to collect the corpses of the villagers.
He dug a big pit in the center of the village, buried all the corpses, and erected a simple tombstone with Earth Release.
Taking the sleeping girl with him, Han slowly left this place that made him somewhat painful.

"What's your name?"
"Zi Luo."
After a few days of getting along, the girl became familiar with Han. Although she still remembered the sadness when her parents died, she was at least much better than before.
"Is there anywhere else you can go?" Han asked.
"I don't know. I have lived with my parents in the village since I was a child." The girl shook her head.
"Then follow me from now on. Follow me back to Iwagakure. Maybe you can join Ninja Academy and become a ninja!" Han said to the girl.
"Ninja?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly.
It was because there were no ninjas in the village that they were all killed by Black Sickle. If you could become a ninja, you would be able to protect them, right?
"My name is Han, Zi Luo." Han said to the girl gently.
"Uncle Han, thank you, thank you for saving me. I apologize to you for what happened before. I'm sorry." The girl said with some embarrassment.
"Hey, that's nothing! How can Mr. Han care about such a trivial matter!"
Two shadows, one large and one small, reflected in the sunlight, so warm.
After taking in Zi Luo, Han no longer planned to continue traveling. He planned to return to Iwagakure immediately and tell the old man that he was accepting a disciple.
Han blamed himself for not being able to save the villagers. He wanted to accept Zi Luo as his disciple. He saw a kind of determination in this girl.
The two of them walked all the way in the direction of Iwagakure. In order to take care of the little child Zi Luo, Han deliberately slowed down his pace.

"Old man, if you don't hurry up, the target will return to the village!" Kisame Hoshigaki shouted at Kakuzu.
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at the clock on the wall and became increasingly helpless.
After meeting up with Kakuzu, the two had a heated fight. In the end, Kisame Hoshigaki won and Kakuzu was subdued before the two reluctantly reached an agreement.
Arriving at the Land of Earth boundary, Kakuzu went to the underground gold exchange on a whim to take on a bounty mission.
Take him with you and kill a wandering ninja to exchange for money at the gold exchange.
"What do you know? Counting money is a kind of enjoyment. I'll leave as soon as I finish counting it." Kakuzu was counting a wad of banknotes in his hand and glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki who was a little impatient.
"You'd better hurry up!" Leaving behind a sentence, Kisame Hoshigaki silently walked out of the underground exchange built under the toilet.
"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred. Not bad, there is no problem with the number." He closed the suitcase with satisfaction and Kakuzu glanced at the exchange employee with appreciation.
"How dare you deceive Mr. Kakuzu? Hahaha." The old man replied sarcastically.
Holding the money in his hand, Kakuzu walked out of the money exchange with satisfaction.
As soon as I went out, I saw Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes that seemed to be murderous.
"Young man, what's the rush? It's the same as starting now."
Kakuzu glanced at Kisame indifferently, and said indifferently, he couldn't beat Kisame Hoshigaki, he could only use his age to suppress the junior in front of him, and Kisame had no killing intention towards him anyway.
"Old man, let's go!"
After a quick glance, Kisame took off the Samehada hanging on his back and quickly jumped up a tree.
The two of them quickly rushed in the direction of Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Zi Luo, Ōnoki This guy is a stubborn old man. If I want to accept you as my apprentice, he will definitely not be willing to do it. Then you will act like a baby in front of him. This guy will do this!"
Han said to Zi Luo with a serious face.
"Um... ok!"
The little girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Haha, Steam Ninja Master Han is going to accept a disciple! In the future, my disciple will definitely beat that boy Akatsuchi down!"
Han ran ahead with excitement on his face. Zi Luo smiled and followed silently. She had never seen any ninja act like this.
"Han, don't run away! Watch what's behind you!" Kokuō in the body suddenly woke up and warned Han in an instant.
A huge Shark Bullet formed of water struck him from behind!
At the moment Kokuō reminded him, the special device behind Han suddenly burst out steam
"Steam Jet Body!"
The gathered steam chakra condensed on Han's legs for an instant, increasing his speed to the extreme.
After narrowly avoiding this attack, Shark Bullet hit the ground and burst into a large puddle.
"Did you actually escape it?"
Kisame Hoshigaki's figure emerged from a piece of grass and said somewhat unexpectedly.
"Who are you?"
Han had a heavy look on his face, and chakra exploded all over his body. He felt the huge pressure on the opponent. At the same time, he used his eyes to signal Zi Luo to leave quickly. Zi Luo, who understood what he meant, immediately turned around and ran away.
Kisame glanced at it, but didn't stop her. She was just a little girl with no threat.
"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that you are my target."
Kisame didn't pay attention to Han's warning and approached him step by step.
The special device behind Han sprayed out thick steam in an instant, and his speed reached the extreme.
Kisame chuckled lightly and took off the bandage on Samehada's back, revealing Samehada's ferocious face.
"Steam Jet Assault!"
The steam chakra is attached to Han's fist. If he is hit by this punch, he is confident that no one will survive!
In an instant, Kisame swept the Samehada sword in his hand and blocked Han's punch. Not only that, Samehada's ferocious mouth directly swallowed the steam chakra attached to Han's fist.
"What? That weird weapon swallowed chakra?!"
Han was surprised, and the speed of his feet suddenly increased again, widening the distance between him and Kisame.
But before Han could think about it, the attack from Kisame had already hit him.
After a short Hand Seals, a ninjutsu was released by Kisame.
"Water Release·Rain Four Sharks!"
Four huge sharks attacked Han.
"What kind of monster is this? It can actually release such a huge Water Release in a waterless land?" He exclaimed in his heart, and the steam device behind Han suddenly advanced, dodging the attack at an extremely fast speed.
After knowing that the weird weapon can swallow chakra, Han no longer chooses to attach steam chakra to his attacks. Although this will cause his Taijutsu power to decrease, at least it will not make him unable to fight back.
"This guy is very good at Taijutsu!" Kisame was also a little surprised. Han's Taijutsu was really superb, which made it difficult for him to resist.
However, facing the Taijutsu type ninja, he still has a trump card.
