This is a girl who has lost her memory, her name is Izayoi.
The rain is pouring, Izayoi's head is wrapped in brown coarse cloth, wearing a light brown homemade ninja costume that covers her tightly.
At the entrance of Huihua, she has been queuing for half a day.
In addition to her, there are dozens of girls lined up here. Nowadays, there is a famine around, and everyone is thinking about becoming a female ninja to make a living.
Izayoi was originally picked up. She lives in Xiangshui Village, 20 miles away from here, on the plain at the edge of the mountain. But recently, most of the fields there have been flooded. Boys can still do farm work, but girls, at this time, can't survive. The surrounding cities have been fighting for years. Even if they get married, they have to marry someone who doesn't join the army, right? However, suitable men have been scarce recently. There is a disabled father who fought in the family, a blind mother, and two little brothers who are still naked!
There is no food for Izayoi. She was hinted to find her own way of life, which is not really a hint, because she hasn't been given food for several days, and her brothers still have food!
But Izayoi doesn't blame them at all. After all, she was picked up. Boys can fight and work, what can a girl like her do? In the end, she still has to get married. Even if she raises them, she can't support them in old age. It's useless to raise them!
Besides, when she was picked up, she was already 13 years old, three years ago. Both sides didn't have any feelings. She was already very grateful that they were willing to support her for three years. She thought she should repay them in the future.
Leaving home, Izayoi didn't bring anything, just some worn clothes for changing, no money, no food. She walked the 20-mile mountain road to this point, and she was already starving, and it was raining, especially cold.
Izayoi also thought about going to the town under the Konoha City at the foot of the mountain to find a job, but now there is continuous war, and few people are doing business. Even merchants dare not come, where can she find a job!
Only recently, it is said that the power of female ninjas from various tribes has developed rapidly. Female ninjas have become an indispensable force in wars and confrontations between various forces. Even in the deep mountain areas where monsters appear, female ninjas are said to be able to move freely! The rise of female ninjas not only affects the overall situation of the world, but also changes the fate of many girls, whether it is tragedy or comedy, but at least it gives these girls in the Warring States period a glimmer of hope!
Of course, like most of the girls who come here, Izayoi doesn't expect any enviable future. She just wants a place to live, clothes to wear, something to eat, and to live with dignity!
But she rushed here in the early morning and arrived here early, but she stood for half a day and no one came to pick her up.
Izayoi looked inside Huihua, not knowing if there was a tribe of female ninjas inside!
From the outside, it is a mountain road covered by dense forests, a broken stone road leading to the deep forest, only a piece of old faded redwood sign, with the words "Huihua" written on it, nothing else.
But seeing everyone standing here obediently, Izayoi had to stand with them.
Finally, when it was almost dark, a spirited, peach-faced, tall and plump female ninja came down from the mountain. Her eyes were big and bright, wearing a dark blue tight ninja costume that exposed most of her chest, and a white silk ribbon on her head, tying her hair into a ponytail. She looked elegant and powerful!
It looks like a girl who can eat well every day!
Otherwise, how could her chest be so big?
Many girls from the village looked at her with envy!
This female ninja is so spirited! The clothes she wears are also cool. Is that headband made of silk? It looks so good!
Unlike the girls in the village, who are ragged, like refugees.
The female ninja glanced at the girls, and her gaze stopped at Izayoi for a moment. She said, "What are you all doing here? This is Huihua, the forbidden land of the Moon Shadow Female Ninjas. Outsiders are not allowed to stay!"
"Ninja sister! We all want to become female ninjas and participate in the exam!"
"Ninja sister, please give us a chance! I walked fifty miles to get here, and my feet are blistered!"
"Sister, please take me in. I have nowhere else to go!" One girl knelt down directly.
The female ninja glanced impatiently at these dirty girls and said, "Do you think being a female ninja is something you can just decide to do? Our Moon Shadow Clan rarely accepts apprentices from outside. Even if we do, we start training them from a young age. You are all already so old, it's too late to start practicing for most of you. However, since you are here, and I see your sincerity, I will give you a chance to see if you have the qualifications. Those who meet the qualifications can come with me, and those who don't will each receive a penny from me to buy a steamed bun at the village entrance ahead, and then roll back to your hometown!"
The girls all fell silent, waiting for the female ninja to announce the exam topic.
"Well, the way to test is, when you hear me clap, you start fighting each other. Whoever has agile body, strong character, and aptitude for combat, I can tell at a glance! Alright, let's begin!"
