With a ninja's keen observation skills, Duke easily judged that this family lived in poverty.

The little girl was still looking at Duke timidly. Although she was so scared that she wanted to run away, her mother had always taught her to be polite. Maybe he was a distant relative of her mother's family, the little girl thought so, and asked expectantly, "Are you a relative from my mother's family?"

"Why do you feel so?" Duke looked at the little girl in front of him. He felt an indescribable weirdness and something was wrong.

"Because mother always said that she lived far away, but she didn't tell me who was at home." The little girl pouted, and the eldest child was unhappy.

Duke was amused by her and reached out to touch her head, then asked with a smile: "What a cute little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Bai, and I'm a boy, not a girl."

A thunderous rumble sounded in Duke's heart. Duke paused and looked at the little... boy in front of him in surprise. Only then did he realize what was causing the awkward feeling. No wonder there was always something wrong. It turned out to be a boy.

A number of people gathered in the courtyard, holding sticks or shovels, with fear on their faces. Jingzi looked flustered and tried hard to explain something.

The latest chapter of this novel will be published on 6>@/9 Book# Bar. Please go to 6>@/9 Book# Bar to read it!

Her face was a little evasive, as if she was afraid of something.

The plot and dialogue are about a husband who comes home and finds a strange man at home. His wife tries to explain that it was a colleague. Duke doesn't want to complain about Jingzi's words. The murderous intent in the air makes him walk out.

"Yes!" The little boy nodded vigorously.

"Mom, is he a distant relative?" Bai asked quietly behind Jingzi. Jingzi patted Bai's head and said gently, "Yes, this man is a distant relative of mom."

"Then you..." Duke was about to ask again when a woman's voice came from the inner room, interrupting him.

I was saying, how could such a cute girl be a girl! "No, this is not a question of boy or girl." Duke shook his head, looked at the little guy who called himself Bai, and asked for confirmation: "Little guy, you said your name is Bai?"

Bai glanced at Duke and then slipped out as well.

The woman was startled when she saw Duke's attire. She tremblingly pulled Bai Zang behind her and looked at Duke uncomfortably: "Excuse me, are you a ninja-sama?"

"Bai, who are you talking to outside? Stop playing around and go see if your father is back and get ready for dinner." A woman who was less than 30 years old and had a pretty face walked out of the house.

Jingzi shuddered when she heard that, and hugged Bai tightly, crying silently.

Duke: “…”

Duke was deeply impressed by the wonder of fate. He met Jingzi twice in the Water Kingdom. He simply took off his veil and revealed his true face: "Don't worry, it's me!"

The cruel punishment made people dare not resist, and the same was true for Akiko's husband. Although he loved his wife and children deeply, when he saw Bai using his bloodline ability, he chose to end this evil relationship.

Although the man's nerves were broken by the heavy burden at the moment he killed his wife to prove his point, no matter what excuses or reasons he had, the fact that he raised the knife against his wife is indisputable.

Whoosh! An ice kunai knocked down the wooden stick. The sudden scene was so loud that one could hear a pin drop in the yard. The villagers looked at the kunai on the ground in horror, too frightened to say a word.

Jingzi is a very traditional woman. She doesn't pursue much, she just wants to live a stable life. Even if life is ordinary and boring, as long as the person she is with loves her, it is enough.

The Fourth Mizukage has done a good job in ideological work in recent years. Under the guidance of public opinion, the people of the Land of Water firmly believe that the war was led by the bloodline ninjas and they are the disaster of this country. If someone is found to be involved with the bloodline but does not report it, they will be regarded as accomplices and executed together. However, if they are dealt with in time, not only will the crime be forgiven, but they will also be regarded as heroes of the country.

The man with tears on his face was Akiko's husband. He pushed Akiko away, raised the stick in his hand tremblingly, and choked up, "Why? Why did you lie to me? You are the descendant of a bloodline ninja, why did you appear in this village?"

"You're kidding. If I hadn't met you, I would be living a worse life now. I might have died when my family was destroyed two years ago." Akiko was very open-minded. Born in a big family like Mizunotsuki, without the talent of a ninja, her future was destined to be a plaything. Although her life was a little hard now, she was already very satisfied with having a husband who loved her and a lively son.

"Yes! Is there anything wrong?" Jingzi asked puzzledly.

"We'll be killed!"

There were some noisy footsteps in the yard, and Jingzi said to Duke quickly, "My husband is back, please don't make any noise, I'll go check on him first."

Jingzi looked at her husband who was holding up the butcher knife, and she closed her eyes in despair. For this traditional woman, her husband was her heaven. Now that the heaven was about to fall, what was the meaning of her living? It was meaningless, so she might as well die.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Duke pointed at Bai who was hiding behind Jingzi, with only a part of his head showing. He couldn't help but ask again, "Bai is a boy, is that true?"

Duke saw that the woman was silent for a long time, and sighed and said: "Mizunoe Akiko, it turned out to be you!"

Inside the house, Duke looked at the house that had almost no decent furniture and said regretfully: "Jingzi, it seems that you have had a hard time these years. What a pity, if I hadn't implicated you..."

Mizunotsuki Tenma! He is suspected to be Duke's distant cousin. The two are very similar. He used the Duke's vest to sneak into the Hidden Mist Village. If I remember correctly, the unlucky guy was taken away by Orochimaru at that time. I don't know whether he is alive or dead now.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I just think he's very handsome..." Duke had a strange look on his face. This gender would make many people dissatisfied.

The man raised the stick, thinking of the happy past of his family of three, and almost collapsed. The people around him urged him to act quickly, otherwise if he hesitated and attracted the cold-blooded ninja, the whole village would be buried with him.

Duke walked up to Jingzi, hesitated for a moment, and sighed, "He doesn't love you as much as you say!"

Jingzi tightly protected Bai behind her, knowing that she would have no chance of survival if her identity was discovered. She had no ninja talent and was as weak as an ordinary woman. She begged, "Sir Ninja, please let my child go. He is still young and knows nothing."

"Don't kill me, I don't know anything."

The woman in front of him was none other than the servant who had taken care of Duke's daily life when he sneaked into the Hidden Mist Village. He remembered that when his identity was exposed, he asked Jingzi to run away before leaving. Now when he saw her again, he suddenly felt that everything had changed. After not seeing her for seven or eight years, she even had a child, and this child was very famous.

"Why do you appear in front of me... Why do you want to marry me?" The man's gray pupils lost their color, and he laughed twice, then smashed down fiercely with the wooden stick in his hand.

"It's a ninja..."

Jingzi's eyes widened, she pointed at Duke's face and said in surprise: "You...you are...Master Tenman?"

Duke looked coldly at the villagers who were overwhelmed by his momentum, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Get lost!"

Duke walked out with a gloomy face. The huge dragon head slowly emerged from the ground, and the ice-blue dragon eyes lit up. The air suddenly froze and made people suffocate.

"Isn't it the same for you?" Jingzi was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed.

In the end, the man almost roared his question.

Bai didn't know what was going on. He was too young to understand much, but the huge changes in his family made him cry while hugging his mother, and his father's appearance scared him.

…

A group of people felt as if they had been pardoned, and they felt the air lighten as they tumbled out of the yard. Only Jingzi's husband was left, kneeling on the ground, looking up with his mouth wide open, his eyes blank without any life, this man was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Duke looked at the poor man: "Do you want me to kill him? If you can feel better..."

"No!" Jingzi shook her head frantically, looking at the strange yet familiar person in front of her, and said with a sad smile: "Please let him go, he just had no choice, I don't hate him nor blame him."

Duke was silent for a long time. After witnessing a tragedy with his own eyes, he finally understood why so many middle school students wanted to change the world. The world of ninjas is really not a good era, because hatred leads to more tragedies, and the poor people living in tragedies lead to more hatred. This is an unsolvable cycle...
