Chapter 138 The meaning of fighting
Not long after that, Sarah became a teacher at the city's basic school on the recommendation of Uzumaki Kaori.
Although she always showed resistance, her body was honest and it didn't take long for her to adapt to life in the Rain Country.
Shiba Kiyokawa only learned about this news later.
In contrast, it was other people in the Akatsuki organization who knew the news one step ahead.
On this day, Kenjiro returned home after finishing his work as usual. As soon as he entered the house, his sister excitedly pounced on him, and then he heard her excitedly chattering.
"Brother, there is a new teacher in school today. She introduced herself as a princess! We all think she is so awesome~"
Kenjiro picked up his sister who had jumped into his arms and put her on the ground. He touched her head lovingly and asked gently.
"Really? So what did the princess teacher teach you?"
My sister was still excited and couldn't wait to say, "She taught us flower arrangement. She said that it is a skill that only the court of the Kingdom of Wind can do~
She also taught us how to identify minerals and sand. The teacher said her country was in a very far desert and we had to take an airship to get back there.”
Having said this, my sister happily turned around by herself, with her hands spread out, as happy as a lively little butterfly.
"Brother, I had a dream today!"
Kenjiro asked curiously, "What dream?"
My sister said with sparkling eyes, "I want to be an engineer when I grow up!"
"What does an engineer do?" Kenjiro, who had only worked as a ninja his entire life, said he didn't understand.
My sister introduced excitedly, "Engineers are magicians who create machines! The airship that can fly to the desert is the masterpiece of engineers!
When I grow up, I want to be a great engineer and build a big and fast airship. Then I will definitely visit Teacher Sarah's hometown~
I heard there is a magical energy called dragon vein there, it's amazing~"
Although Kenjiro didn't understand, he still cooperated and kept smiling happily.
"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want when you grow up."
Soon after, as they sat down at the table, they put their hands together and said in unison, "I'm eating."
The brother and sister smiled at each other again.
The moment he picked up the chopsticks, Kenjiro suddenly felt something and asked, "Xiaonan, do you like your current life?"
My sister nodded vigorously without even thinking, and said, "I like it! I like it very much!"
In an instant, Kenjiro's vision suddenly became blurred.
In that instant, he suddenly understood the meaning of his battle! He understood everything that the leader, Shiba Qinghe, had said!
His thoughts drifted away for a moment, and he thought of the day a few years ago when Yahiko approached him to join the Akatsuki organization.
At that time, he had just fled from a chaotic battlefield with his sister. Both his parents had died and he was penniless.
At that time, he and his sister once put their hands together one night, said in unison, "I'm eating," and then the two of them pitifully shared a dirty and moldy steamed bun.
The younger sister was eating when she suddenly burst into tears and asked him with red eyes, "Brother, why is our life so painful? Did we do something wrong?"
It was that question that made him decide to follow Yahiko and join Akatsuki, wanting to change everything!
But a few years passed, and even though he respected and admired Yahiko so much in the past, so much time had passed and he still couldn't answer the question his sister asked him.
They are still displaced and living in uncertainty.
Until a few months ago, Shiba Kiyokawa rose like a comet and usurped the position of leader of Akatsuki in one fell swoop!
The organization, which had not undergone any major changes in the past few years, seemed to have been slammed on the accelerator in those few months!
A lot has changed in a short period of time!
He was not used to these changes at first, and he did not quite agree with Shiba Kiyokawa's cruelty and ruthlessness.
So for a long time, he was physically in Qinghe Camp, but his heart was with Yahiko.
So much so that to this day, many people around him still feel that he does not understand the leader.
Little did he know that he already understood what Shiba Kiyokawa said better than anyone else!
Isn't this the meaning of fighting? He thought. There is no need for brainwashing with the will of rain or the will of dawn, nor is there any need to say something difficult to understand like leaves dancing.
When real beauty appears before your eyes, anyone can naturally understand the meaning of fighting!
The purpose of Kenjiro's fight is to protect all that is hard-earned in front of him! To protect his sister's dream that she finally found!
Because my sister said she likes her current life very much.
Therefore, even if he had to risk his life, he would protect everything here, the dignity and beauty of the Rain Country, and the will of the leader Shiba Kiyokawa!
So when the dinner was almost over, Kenjiro suddenly asked his sister, "Xiaonan, if your brother goes away from home next time, can you take care of yourself?"
Xiaonan, who was eating happily, suddenly froze when she heard this.
She knew her brother's occupation and that he had already joined that organization, so she was sensible enough not to make a fuss and just said "hmm" in a depressed tone.
But even with his drooped eyelids, a layer of moisture couldn't help but form, which stubbornly refused to fall.
Kenjiro felt a little sad when he saw this scene.
Until the next moment, when he heard his sister Xiaonan say: "Brother, go, remember to protect Chief Qinghe, he is a great hero of the Rain Country!"
Kenjiro, who was originally feeling a little sour in his nose, suddenly felt annoyed for no reason.
This was the first time that his admiration for the leader Shiba Kiyokawa was mixed with a bit of jealousy.
This strange feeling made him both angry and amused.
The next day, Kenjiro put on his full set of equipment early in the morning, brought his ninja tools, carried a katana, and came to the meeting room of the Akatsuki organization.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard someone greet him with a surprised tone.
"Kenjiro? I didn't expect you to come too! This call-up isn't mandatory. What? You're not going to stay home with your sister, you big sister?"
Kenjiro snorted coldly and skillfully raised his middle finger towards the speaker - they learned this gesture from Shiba Kiyokawa, and it is now extremely popular within the Akatsuki organization.
"Don't forget that I am a jonin now! Even if it is not a compulsory conscription, I don't feel comfortable entrusting such an important war mission to a bunch of rookies like you."
"Damn! Who are you calling a rookie? You're just lucky. You caught up with the organization's full promotion before fighting Hanzo. If I had caught up with it, I would definitely be a Jonin now!"
"cut."
Kenjiro glanced at the man with contempt.
Anyway, we are familiar with each other, so there is no need to show mercy when it comes to insulting each other.
"This time we are going to face the number one ninja village, Konoha. Chunins who are only good at talking tough had better think carefully!"
He deliberately stuck to the word Chunin, making the other party furious.
"Why are you so proud? Now that the organization has opened up its ninjutsu reserves, it won't take long for me to catch up with you with my talent. When I take the Jonin exam, I will definitely challenge you!"
Kenjiro rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Then I'll wait to torture you!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the surrounding Akatsuki members were about to persuade them to reconcile, but at this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Shiba Kiyokawa strode in with his back to the bright sunlight, a relieved smile on his face.
“I said that this call-up was not mandatory, but I am very happy because I still see almost all the familiar faces here.
So it seems that everyone has found the meaning of their respective battles?"
At that moment, all the Akatsuki ninjas present, including Kenjiro, responded loudly in unison.
"Yes! For the Rain Country! For a blue and beautiful tomorrow!"
Kenjiro didn't know what the reasons were for others, but at that moment, at least for himself, he recognized and trusted this sentence from the bottom of his heart!
This is the meaning of his fight!
"Very good!" The next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa walked to the front of the crowd, waved his hand, and a huge map fell down and unfolded. "Then, next, let's take a look at the battle plan for the attack on the Land of Grass!"
