9. The Boy and his Sister

Chapter-9

Ainz began packing up the scrolls and throwing them in his personal storage and prepared to leave in a journey.

The information gathered by the bone vultures entered his mind.The place the vultures found is a village named kiri. There seems to be bloody graduation test and children all around have diverse bloodlines. Surely no one will question Ainz on his power there. Making his mind ainz equipped his fly amulet and started moving around that direction.

He made great strides to reach the village when he felt the distance was acceptable he made camp. Ainz made a small fire and bed .He then opened the food given to him by the uzumaki. Ainz then began to ponder

"Can this body even digest food?"

Taking a deep breath ainz opened the packet. The smell of the food was heavenly to Ainz. He instantly took a bite unable to hold his emotion in check Ainz began to cry

"Finally I can taste something. I missed this feeling so much"

Being an overlord takes any need for food. TGhough it is helpful but the desire to taste something good is forever gone. Ainz couldn't help but bask in the aftertaste of the delicious food.

"I guess there is another thing I owe the uzumaki for."

Ainz for the first time in a long while slept happily. A life without having to worry about war, albedo's nagging or demeurge's vision of Ainz as god. Life felt good.

Next Day:

Ainz woke up from his sleep practiced the jutsus given to him by kuro .To his luck Ainz absorbed the jutsus quite easily.

"I guess it's because my intelligent stat is quite high or is it luck?"

After completing his practice for the day he finally started his trek once again to kiri.

On his way he saw a river and stopped. There stood a kiri shinobi pointing his blade at an injured boy with his sister.

"You shouldn't have come here, boy"

The boy looked indignantly at the ninja putting his cowering sister behind him.

"Then where should I have gone, my village is burned in the uchiha-senju war. Theives and bandits present everywhere around trying to loot the dead corpses and kill any survivors"

The boy wore a pitiful face while describing his situation but the Shinobi looked at him with stone cold eyes sending the message "I don't care"

The Kiri shinobi then looked at the boy's sister. A glint of lust appeared in his eyes "If you want to go to the village to become strong then leave your sister here."

The boy stood petrified for a moment. He began to think for a bit to measure the pros and cons. Then he looked at his sister. That was all he needed to find his answer,

"N-no"

"What?"

The boy again said but now with determination and acceptance "NO!I won't give you my sister."

Ainz couldn't help but be proud of the boy. Seeing this situation Ainz was once again reminded of his guild, his family and his children." Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."Ainz couldn't help but get lost in his memories. But the next actions of the kiri-nin broke him from his stupor

The kiri ninja sighed "You could've survived the encounter just by trading the baggage behind you. But now you have made your decision. DIE!"

The kiri-nin charged at the boy with intent to behead him. Fueled by greed and lust he moved to rob the boy of his life.

But the moment the kiri-nin appeared before the boy a voice rang in the surrounding "Grasp heart."

And just like that the kiri-nin fell to the ground.The man laid lifelessly on the ground. He simply looked like a doll his with strings cut.

The boy was shocked with the sudden change of situation.He couldn't make heads or tails with what happened to the man.One moment he was about to kill him and his sister but at the next he died.He began to hyperventilate rapidly at this situation. Ainz seeing the boy's condition made his way towards him and his sister.

Ainz smiled and tried to make himself as friendly as possible and asked

"Boy,What is your name?"

He was quite for a second but slowly he replied "..Hanzo. My name is hanzo."
