Compared with the clan land, the New Year in the north is not inferior this time. They wiped out the three forces in the north long ago, and gained a lot of benefits. It can be said that they are very rich. During the New Year, Shinji Uchiha waved his hand, A large amount of supplies were distributed to the clansmen, and there was a lot of applause.

Of course, the distribution is limited to the Uchiha people in the north. Those who come to the north to seek stability cannot get this kind of welfare.

Where there is light, there will inevitably be darkness, and happiness also means relative pain. Even in this prosperous northern city, there are many problems.

With the influx of a large number of people into the north, it is naturally impossible for them to be rich merchants or nobles. In fact, ordinary people who cannot pay taxes account for the vast majority. They are not accepted by the city, so they become Beggars, hooligans, hooligans, etc. exist, turning into the shadow of this city.

This is actually an inevitability in the development. In the early stages of the rise of every big city, there will inevitably be such a stage. At the beginning, Uchiha Shinji also thought about rectification, and sent Uchiha ninjas to group some of them. , Ruffian gang uprooted.

But he immediately discovered that this was of no avail at all, there was still a steady stream of poor people coming here, and there was no way to stop it, and he couldn't kill everyone.

In this chaotic Warring States, most of them are gathered in extremely primitive villages or ninjas. There are not even small towns, and only the largest daimyo forces own cities.

Xincheng was originally only a little bigger than an ordinary small town. Later, Uchiha Shinji mobilized ninjas to expand the city in order to develop, and vaguely has the prototype of a big city in the future. This kind of place is like a beacon in this chaotic Warring States period. Generally, poor people who have suffered from wars will naturally gather here even if they rely on instinct alone.

Facing these impoverished people who are unable to survive, gather in one place, divide them into an area specially for survival, let them fend for themselves, only maintain nominal leadership and surveillance, and ignore the rest.

Here comes the slums. Here, there are no rules, only the naked strong are respected. Chaos, hunger, filth, and depravity can be most intuitively reflected here. Often, people here can give up what they have for a meal. everything. In reality, of course, most of them have nothing but lives.

But at the very least, there is one advantage here that other places do not have, that is, it is still Xincheng, and there is no war here. This alone makes countless people willing to live this kind of life like hell. willing to leave.

After all, this place is just like hell, while other places in the Warring States Period are real hell. Those who have not seen the horrors of war will never understand how cruel it is.

During the Chinese New Year this time, Uchiha Shinji did not forget these poor people in the dark. On the New Year's Eve, he distributed a large amount of food to the slums, which was somewhat of a contribution.

Now seven days have passed since the New Year's Eve, and the food that Uchiha Shinji donated that day has already been exhausted. In fact, even on that day, the food distributed was not enough.

It was very late at night, in a dilapidated wooden house with air leaks everywhere, the north wind howled, and a large amount of snowflakes poured in. The curly body of the little girl was wrapped in the only broken blanket in the house and shivered, her bare legs were already frozen. Numb, her little face was extremely dirty, she could only see the redness from the cold, but she couldn't tell what she looked like, her hair was also withered and yellow due to long-term malnutrition, and now it was stained with a layer of white snow.

In fact, this wooden house can't protect against the cold at all, and the only thing it can provide is probably a little comfort in the heart.

The little girl was only about nine years old, and she was waiting for her older sister. She hadn't eaten for two days. If there was no more food, she might not be able to last two days in this severe cold weather.

At that time, she will become a dead body in the slums. She has often seen this kind of dead body and is no stranger to it. In this kind of place, everyone will not give this kind of corpse a second look.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the little girl opened her eyes in a daze, and what she saw was a girl from Shuangxue, who was about two years older than her. They looked very similar, and she was the little girl's older sister.

"You're starving, eat quickly." The girl said, gently helping her younger sister wipe off the snowflakes on her head, and took out a piece of hard plaster-like food from her arms.

The younger sister's eyes lit up, and she whispered pleasantly: "Nian Gao, sister, you are really capable, where did you get it from?"

The girl smiled softly and did not speak. The two of them carefully built a fire in the hut, wrapped rice cakes with tree branches and baked them on the fire. When they were slightly soft, the younger sister couldn't wait to take a bite, she was really hungry.

The girl looked at her sister with a smile on the corner of her mouth. At this moment, being able to sit around a fire and watch her sister swallow food was the greatest happiness.

"Sister, you eat too." The younger sister ate half of it and handed over the rest. The girl was slightly taken aback, shook her head lightly and smiled, "You eat, I've eaten."

How could the younger sister fail to see that this was an excuse, so she recklessly stuffed the remaining half of rice cake into her hand, and said in a low voice, "It takes a thousand needles to lie, you told me, sister."

Looking at her sister's serious gaze, a layer of mist appeared in the girl's eyes, and she nodded for the invisible.

"Haha, I found it. The cake thief is here."

At this moment, a discordant voice came, and a figure appeared in front of the incomplete wooden door.

Chapter 219 The Actions of Senshou Bashirama

The person who came was a man in his twenties, with dark skin and several layers of clothing, all of which were made of linen. He looked at the two sisters with a dangerous gleam in his eyes. ΨZaZaZZZWongΨThe girl's complexion changed, she swallowed the remaining rice cake in her hand without thinking, opened her arms to protect her younger sister, and watched the person coming vigilantly.

In the slums, stealing things is a common thing, as long as you don't get caught by others. Apparently, the sisters were out of luck.

"Hehe, you still dare to stare at me." The man sneered, kicking open the already broken wooden door, and the howling cold wind completely poured in.

The younger sister exclaimed, and hugged her elder sister's waist carefully, and felt a little relieved.

The man strode in and raised his hand to hit the girl. The girl was not afraid, she gritted her teeth and fought back. She knew the laws of this world, and running away was useless. If she wanted to live and protect her sister, resistance was the only way out.

It's a pity that the gap between age and physical strength cannot be evened out by her will. The person who came was not light, and she fell to the side after a while, with blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, staring at him coldly, struggling to stand up, she The younger sister is in the opponent's hands at the moment.

"Asshole, let me go."

The younger sister screamed and kept hitting the person in front of her. Unfortunately, her strength was too weak. Coupled with several days of hunger, this strength was no different from scratching an itch.

The man was annoyed by his sister's noise, so he slapped her across the face, bang! With a crisp sound, five red marks appeared on the younger sister's face, and a streak of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, which showed how hard the slap was.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing her younger sister being beaten, the girl went crazy, grabbed the only wooden stick in the house, and hit her. The wooden stick broke immediately, and the man let out a loud cry, with fierce eyes, and kicked the girl in the heart. She fell to the ground, panting heavily, still staring at the man coldly.

The younger sister seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the slap, and she remained motionless. The man glanced at her, then casually grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and wiped it on her face, washing her face clean, revealing a petite and lovely face.

"It's not bad. I heard that there are a few rich merchants in Xincheng who like girls under the age of ten very much. They look like they can sell them for a good price." The man said, looking back at the girl who fell on the ground, "You stole a piece of rice cake from me. , now it’s just right to pay off your sister’s debt.”

The man grinned, and was about to turn around and leave. Just after turning around, he froze suddenly, and saw a tall woman in black clothes standing at the door, with long blue hair hanging down her waist. Holding a slender long knife in his hand, with red pupils and a beautiful face, he looked at him expressionlessly.

Seeing this person, the man didn't dare to move. He had this feeling before. It was when he was facing the ninja of the Uchiha family. This woman is a ninja.

The woman glanced at the situation in the room, and walked to the girl who fell to the ground in two steps and squatted down. The man remained motionless, he clearly knew the horror of the ninja, it was definitely not something he could resist.

The girl raised her eyes and looked at the woman who appeared suddenly. After glancing at her twice, she turned her head to stare at the man again. To be precise, she stared at her sister in the man's hand.

"If you want to save your sister, you should act now. Eyes can't kill people. I have a long knife here, which is very sharp. It may help you."

The woman suddenly made a sound, and pulled out the long knife in her hand. The long knife glowed with a cold light, and the cold light of death flashed in the night.

Without even thinking about it, the girl snatched the long knife, raised all her strength, and rushed towards the man like crazy.

The final result was that the man was hacked to death, and his death was extremely miserable. The whole body was covered with wounds, and the girl was also covered in blood, both from the other party and from herself. It was the first time she used a long knife and scratched herself several times.

But she ignored it, snatched her own wooden door behind the man's death, and carefully slapped her small face with the blood on her hands all over her face.

The younger sister woke up slowly, first looked around in a daze, then was surprised, plunged into her arms, and cried loudly.

Hearing her sister's cry, the girl let out a long sigh of relief. Hunger and exhaustion surged together, and she felt an urge to sleep. She resisted it, looked back at the woman with red eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, you want to get it." What."

The cruel life made her understand that there is no unreasonable help in the world, and the other party will help her, so she must have her purpose.

The woman glanced at her and said calmly: "I like your eyes very much. After today, you and your sister will come with me."

She said, throwing the scabbard in her hand, "If you kill someone with this knife, it belongs to you."

Saying that, the woman turned around and walked out, "By the way, my name is Akabane."

The girl glanced at the younger sister in her arms, reached out and inserted the long knife into the scabbard, stumbled to her feet, and followed the other party's footsteps with the support of her younger sister.

...

What happened in the north, Xuan in the clan didn't know anything about it. What the so-called BOSS has to do is to pass on his orders, and then ask his subordinates to help him do it well. Xuan thinks he already has some points. look like.
