Chapter 259: Hell on Earth

"What a tragedy."

Haru brought Guren along as they walked between the ruins of the Land of Grass. He could not help but sigh.

After a few months, the conflict between the five great countries had finally ended. They signed a peace agreement together. Under Konoha's insistence, they also signed a treaty that would not be easily used in a war unless it was a major crisis.

If Bijuu really started a war, there might be people who would suffer. It was not impossible for the entire Ninja World to collapse. In addition, the one who took the initiative to make this request was the strongest Kyuubi, Konoha. Therefore, the few shadows considered for a long time and finally agreed.

Only Haru knew that Konoha was doing this purely because they had lost Kyuubi Jinchuriki.

Without Bijuu, Konoha naturally did not want the other major powers to use such a terrifying 'weapon'.

Therefore, he simply used the excuse of 'sympathy for the world' to make an agreement so that no one could use it.

But in fact, this kind of thing was just to seek psychological comfort. How many times had the peace agreement been signed?

What was the result?

Every ten to twenty years, someone would break the agreement and start a war.

Therefore, no one knew that the peace this time could be maintained for many times.

But at least in the short term, there would definitely be no more trouble. They were all busy recuperating.

However, no one cared about the chicken feathers left behind by the five great countries.

It was just like what Haru and Guren had seen.

The ruins were broken, the corpses were hastily buried, and there were even many people who had no one to care about them.

The living people were already dying, so how could they have the energy and strength to care about the dead?

There were even many people who laid on the ground, waiting for death in confusion and despair.

It was several times more serious than Amegakure's situation back then!

After all, although Amegakure had also suffered heavy injuries back then, at least Hanzo could still hold on to the last pure land. Moreover, Suna and Konoha did not use a great killing weapon like Bijuu, so it was not too difficult to rebuild it.

But now, the Land of Grass was truly a long story.

As they were walking, there was a sudden disturbance in front of them.

"Old bastard, hand over the food!"

But he could!

Or it could be said that this was a great opportunity for him to expand his territory, win over the hearts of people, and accumulate more energy points!

Not to mention that Madara's base was in the Land of Grass, and there were also Gedo Statue there, so even if the Land of Grass was beaten into a pulp, he still had to take down the Land of Grass.

As for what if the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire fought again?

Haru thought, "At that time, maybe he was worried that he would have no excuse to destroy the five big countries!"

If he was not convinced, he could just come over. In his own territory, he was really not afraid of anyone!

Guren obediently laid down the old man's body. It was strange. Just now, he was so stiff that no matter how those people punched and kicked him, he didn't remove his arm. But now, he loosened it with a light pull.

It seemed that the old man also sensed that someone had come to save him.

Guren was also moved, especially when she thought about how she went crazy for the child. This feeling became more and more profound.

As for the child that the old man protected, Haru was stunned when he saw it.

Because it was a familiar red hair, and it was a little girl?

Was there really such a coincidence?

But this old man was clearly not.

Just as Haru was wondering if the little girl in front of him could be Uzumaki Clan's orphan again, the little girl first looked at the motionless old man with a dull gaze. Then, she carefully took out a small piece of biscuit from her dirty clothes.

Then, he placed the biscuit in front of the old man's mouth with hope, as if he was saying, "I won't fall asleep after eating it."

However, how could a dead person get up to eat?

The little girl's hopeful gaze gradually dissipated, but she seemed to have thought of something. She hurriedly placed her arm next to the old man's mouth, as if she was thinking.

It was precisely at the stage of maternal love that Guren could not bear to see such a scene. Her eyes turned red and she directly pulled the little girl into her arms.

More than ten minutes later, Guren made a crystal coffin for the old man. Then, she found a place with few people and buried it.

Throughout the whole process, the little girl did not say a word, not even a single drop of tears left.

However, the previous scene made Haru and Guren know that it was not that she had no conscience, but that she had experienced too many kinds of things.

Perhaps in her opinion, death was not a terrible thing, but a kind of relief.

The little girl pursed her lips and quietly buried the last piece of biscuit in front of the old man's tomb.
