Reborn as Hokage, I am actually a god

Chapter 36 Despair



"Madara-sama, are you okay?"

"Ahem! It's okay, I'm just missing an eye!" After saying this, Madara lifted up her bangs to reveal the dimmed left eye.

"Izanagi!"

"The enemy is so powerful this time! Even Master Madara died once!" Black Zetsu sighed as he looked at Madara's left eye.

"Hmph, if it weren't for this old body, it's not certain who will win and who will lose!" Madara said unconvinced.

"Madara-sama, let's leave as soon as possible! The enemy's perception is particularly strong. If the girl hadn't known my characteristics this time, I might not have died as well."

"Even you have not escaped her perception. It seems that we can't stay in the Kingdom of Rain. Let's go to the Kingdom of Water! But we still need to arrange for Bai Jue to pay attention to the movements of Nagato and the others. They are important chess pieces."

"Yes! Madara-sama."

Lia, who was flying towards home, suddenly felt that the red arrow symbol in her mind appeared again, pointing to the place where she had just fought. Her face darkened, "Damn, I forgot to guard the corpse. These enemies are really cunning." After finishing speaking, Leah flew back the way she came.

Just flew not long ago.

"He actually disappeared. Did he leave? Well, it's true. It's all because Sister Meili's octopus balls were so tempting!" I felt my stomach growling, "No matter what, let's go back to eat first!"

As soon as she returned to Corona City, Leah felt the presence of home and hurried back to the house where she lived, "Sister Meili, I'm back!"

"Lia is back, come for dinner soon." Meili came out of the living room and looked at Lia with a smile.

"It's Sister Lia who's back!" Xiaocao and Xiaoshu ran out quickly.

"I'm starving to death!" Lia held the two little ones in her arms and saw everyone coming out to pick her up. She felt very warm for a moment.

"Hurry up and eat! Everyone is waiting for you." Meili said with a faint smile.

"Really! What are you waiting for me to do? Just keep it for me!" Leah said harsh words, but she felt more and more moved in her heart. This is family!

Everyone sat around the dining table, laughing and eating the dinner. Although the dishes were cold, their hearts were warm.

Time passed by in these countless warm days.

As the war between the five great powers has entered its final stage, the Holy Church is still developing steadily, fully understanding the principle of accumulating food and slowly becoming king.

During this period, apart from capturing a group of Konoha ninjas, they never encountered any major troubles, and the cities they occupied also experienced rapid development.

First, the Paladins were dispatched to suppress bandits in various cities, as well as to attack some dark forces and nobles in the city.

The construction of the water conservancy infrastructure alone was completed quickly with the help of many holy priests. Now all the roads are stone roads that four or two horse-drawn carriages can pass casually, as well as the occasional speeding train beside the fields, and the occasional floating road in the sky. The air launches indicate that people's living standards are changing rapidly.

At least in the cities occupied by the Holy Church of the Kingdom of Rain, people's food and clothing are no longer a problem. Likewise, the reputation of the Holy Church has completely spread throughout the Kingdom of Rain, and a large number of people from unoccupied cities have fled to the Holy Church.

And because of the inaction of the Rain Ninja Village, the nobles and daimyo of the Country of Rain suffered.

"Daimyo, you have to make the decision for us! Not only have those cultists taken over our territory, but now even the untouchables don't listen to us and are fleeing to the cultists at every turn. The cities close to the cultists are about to change. The city has become an empty city!" Many nobles in the hall cried.

"What's the use of talking to me? Don't you know that I'm being watched by a group of ninjas every time I go out? Damn it, those ninjas in Yu Ninja Village really have a bunch of white-eyed wolves." The daimyo said angrily.

"But if we continue to let things go like this, it's not just those few cities that will be empty! It's most of the cities under your name that will be empty!" the noble said with a loyal tone.

"You idiots, won't you send your warriors to stop those untouchables!" the daimyo shouted angrily.

"But will this anger the cultists?" the old noble asked cautiously.

"Yes! Yes! What if the cultists come over!" The nobles below also began to discuss.

The daimyo stared at the old nobleman fiercely. He just said that he wanted to die for him. Now he asked them to do something, but he was hesitant. He was afraid of this and that. If he didn't know what these people looked like, the daimyo would be afraid that he would do it today. They were so angry.

"You losers, you've reached this point now, and you're still afraid of this and that. If the cultists really want to attack, do you think you can stop them?"

"What does the daimyo mean?" The old noble's eyes rolled rapidly and he asked the daimyo tentatively.

"Hmph, Hanzo has an agreement with the leader of the cultists. Half of the cities in the Land of Rain belong to the cultists, and the other cities still belong to me." The daimyo gritted his teeth. Thinking that half of the cities in the Land of Rain were gone like this, the Daimyo felt angry.

But there is no other way. In the past, Rain Ninja Village still needed his annual assistance. As long as Hanzo didn't want the Ninja Village to have no money to develop, he would give him three respects and would not go too far. But now it is unclear what agreement he has reached with the cult. , even if the assistance was stopped, he did not come to ask, but only warned him a few words and told him not to cause trouble.

Hearing the daimyo's answer, the nobles below finally showed a smile. This time they must make those untouchables look good!

"Mom, I'm so hungry!" The three-year-old child said weakly in the arms of a haggard-looking woman wearing patchwork clothes.

"Baby, hold on for a while. As long as you pass this city, you will reach the boundary of the church. There will be a lot of food by then!" The woman coaxed the child helplessly.

"But Mom, I'm so hungry!" the child said weakly.

The woman looked at the child who had not eaten for two days and suddenly couldn't help sobbing. Not long ago, her hometown was hit by a rat plague. All the food she planted was eaten by the nasty rats. Her husband was also killed by the rats in order to save the food in the field. Even though she was bitten to death, she managed to escape thanks to her quick reaction and desperately following the crowd with her child.

Unexpectedly, the lord's family was also asked to pay more taxes because of the serious disaster. However, there was no food in the house, and it was all eaten by rats!

But the noble master didn't care about so much. He said that if there was no food, he would become a slave and go to his family to farm for free. How could this be done? Finally, the whole village discussed and prepared to flee to the church in the west. I heard that there is heaven where there are no nobles. , as long as you work hard, you can live a life of having enough to eat every day.

Looking at the weak child with eyes closed, the woman felt cruel and said, "Baby, mommy will give you something to eat right away." After saying that, she found a sharp stone on the ground and cut it on her wrist, causing blood to bleed for a moment. The flow continued, and the woman did not dare to waste any more, so she aimed at the child's mouth and covered it.

As the child sucked subconsciously, the woman's face became increasingly pale. The people next to me couldn't bear to see it, but they had no choice. Adults can still eat grass roots and bark to satisfy their hunger, but a three-year-old child's intestines and stomach are not yet developed. Eating too much may not necessarily cause stomachache or stomachache. I'm suffocated if I can't poop.

Seeing that the child finally had a trace of blood, the woman quickly tore off the rags on her body and tied up the wound, but she suddenly felt dizzy and weak.

Suddenly there was a commotion from the crowd in front, "Why don't you let us pass!"

"How dare you yell at me, you bitch, beat me up!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"Drag me out!" After saying that, the two warriors took out the refugee who had just called out.

The leading samurai drew out the samurai sword from his waist and stared at the fleeing crowd fiercely. "You untouchables, watch out. If you dare to escape to the other side, this is what you will end up with!" After saying this, he looked at the unconscious people. The head of the refugee was severely chopped off.

"Ah!" the crowd exclaimed in panic.

"This is not giving us a way to survive at all. Let's fight with them!" Some people shouted unwillingly.

Then the desperate crowd began to attack the level composed of samurai.

"Kill me! Let these untouchables know how powerful they are!"

"Ah! Ah!...Run!"

The woman stood there blankly, looking desperately at everything in front of her. Hope was clearly not far away, but like a divine punishment, all hope was blocked in the endless hell.
