On the ground two bandits body was fallen. Their throats were slit. Kyoshi then told the bandit that had accompanied him to this journey till the beginning to stay here.
After he left the place in a disguise he headed towards the chiefs compound. When he reached there he went in from the back and he searched for someone.
After he found him he got near him.
- Fushizawa.
- Huh ? Who are you.
Kyoshi was still in his diguise as he was covered in a red robe. As he removed the robe fushizawa suddenly bowed and apologized.
- I am Sorry, chief for not recognising you.
- It's not a problem but fushizawa. I need someone that I can trust..... Can "I trust" you.
Kyoshi just stared at fushizawa as he said these words. He saw fushizawas eyes widen. His mouth turned to smile and his chest tightned as he said with a enthusiastic voice
- YES.
.....
In the village road two figures entered in a dilapidated building a little bit out of the normal one. They were Kyoshi and fushizawa.
- But I still can't believe that you defeated the bandits leader and his two man all by himself.
Said fushizawa in an energetic but silent voice.
- Well if we have to keep this village safe we have to beat guys like this who disrupts the village.
- Yea.. yeah the next time you do something like this can you also ask me I will also help you in this.
Kyoshi just stared at him for a few moments before he smiled and said
- Well thats enough talking let's go and do the work we are here for.
As the both of them got to the place of the house where bodies were piled fushizawa just froze for a moment before he heard Kyoshis voice.
- HEY! Come here quick.
As he heard it he ran there quickly to pick up the body but as he touched it only a cold sensation spread through his hand. He refrained from fully seeing the life body.
As he just move his head to a little opposite of the body. Kyoshi said.
- I've already dug a hole in the back just take the bodies there and dump them.
- o...ok.
Said fushizawa in a shaking voice as Kyoshi only looked at him for a few moments before he resumed his work.
After a few moments when the bodies were dumped Kyoshi saw that fushizawa was sitting in a corner.
He got Infront of him and said.
- You know you don't have to hold back that much even I had a very bad memory when I
first few dead bodies.
As if fushizawa got some kind of a signal he just ran off to the upstairs as Kyoshi heard the sound of vomiting.
When fushizawa came back Kyoshi asked him to sit with him.
- So, fushizawa was this you're first dead body you have seen.
Fushizawa didn't say anything and just kept his head down. Seeing this Kyoshi just laughed and said.
- Hahahah. It's not a bad thing you know to not see a dead body at a young age.
- But everyone says that I should get used to it early so when I grow up and there is another war I will be able to survive in it.
- Well we should hope that when that happens our village is not in that position where everyone is struggling to survive.
- Yeah...ok.
Said fushizawa.
- But I have a question how did you not see a dead body up until now. Even in the war.
- Well it is because of toji in the war he would not let me go out most of the time. He even builded a underground bed where I slept every night so when the war took place I wouldn't hear people screaming.
- Well it seems that he really cares about us you.
- Yeah. After my parents died he is the only one that cared for me this much. Sometimes I would also throw a tantrum to go to work with him and help him. And when I got out to help him I would hear people talking about the war.
- From what I heard toji helped you get this guard post didn't he.
- Yeah. When at that time the guard came to him to inform him about this job. He asked for me to get the job as well. When the guard refused they said he will not go if I don't as well haha.
Then both of them just stared at the ceiling quietly.
- I will tell you about something very secret that I haven't told anyone.
- What really chief. It will be my honour.
- But you have to keep it a secret ok.
- Of course.
- Well when in got the position of the chief. And I saw how the villages situation was. I was planing to runaway.
- WHAT BUT HOW!!?
- After all I am a human and it was the first time where I was in so much pressure.
Fushizawa just looked at him for a few moments before he looked down scratching the back of his head said in a embarrassed manner.
- Well cheif I also wanna tell you something. Me and toji and thought of running away when the situation of the village turned worse...
- Well then what about now.
- I wanna help you make this village powerful.
- Well then you're like a general.
- A general ?
- Yes a companion of the king who helps him command his army and keeps them in check. They are a kings precious asset.
- Really!! I also wanna be like that.
Kyoshi just looked at fushizawas enthusiastic look and just smiles at him.
- Ok.
