Chapter 74
The battlefield was a place where people fought and killed each other. The rain diluted the blood and soaked through clothes, making distinguishing between sweat and tears impossible. They merged into a complex yet clear mixture.
Just like how in the eyes of innocent children, rainwater was nothing more than the sweat of clouds or the tears of the sky.
"That person is amazing!"
A little girl with twin pigtails pointed at Neiki, who was moving swiftly across the battlefield.
"Is he a good person?" asked another boy, holding an umbrella over Hashirama.
In the children's simple world, once someone was identified as a bad person, those opposing that bad person were automatically good people.
Since the Kirigakure had slaughtered hundreds of ordinary villagers in the Land of Waves, the children deeply resented the Kirigakure ninjas, considering them complete villains. Consequently, when the Konoha ninjas arrived, the children cheered for them, believing that since Konoha was against Kirigakure, they must be the good guys.
But Neiki's arrival confused them. Initially, Neiki opposed Konoha, leading the children to think he was an ally of the Kirigakure villains. However, Neiki then suddenly started killing many Kirigakure ninjas, leaving them unable to categorize his actions.
"He is a bad person," Hashirama said with a smile.
