Chapter 206 Reflection and Growth
Walking in a large city in the country of rivers, Conan and his party finally saw some popularity, but Conan and others were still not happy.
The faces of the passers-by on the street were pale and obviously malnourished, and all the people looked at him and others with hostility in their eyes. Conan believed that these people would want to eat him alive if they could.
Suddenly, some noise on the street corner attracted Conan's attention.
Following the sound, Conan and others came to a place called Human City.
As the name suggests, this is actually a place to sell people, or a place where people voluntarily come here to sell themselves.
As soon as he entered here, various noisy voices came into Conan's ears.
"Mom, don't leave me!"
"Look, my lord, my girl is so cute, please give me a little more money."
"Go, go, no old people here."
Here, Conan saw with his own eyes some people hugging their children and begging for more money.Some people were looking at their lips like picking animals but they still performed themselves hard, and some older people were helpless waiting to die by the side of the road because no one was selected.
"Is this the most real pain in this world?" Conan murmured to himself.
The scene in front of him deeply touched Conan.
Naruto, Sasuke and the others next to him were also dumbfounded looking at the scene before them that they had never imagined.
Jilai also couldn't help sighing when he saw this scene: "I've actually seen many such things, and even more miserable ones than this one. At least, they still don't starve to death."
After a long silence, Conan said slowly, "I'm sorry."
There is no doubt that Conan is guilty at this moment. Conan himself did not expect that his plan to help the country of rivers and the country of wind would cause so many tragedies.
"I can't blame you for this matter, Conan." Jiraiya comforted, "I can only blame those greedy people."
"Boss, I can't take it anymore, let's go and get rid of those people." Naruto couldn't hold back anymore and shouted angrily.
Conan ignored Naruto's words, and silently gave some money to some people in urgent need, but after getting the money, people still looked at Konoha with hatred.
At night, Conan silently recalled his once bold words.
At first, after seeing too many tragedies, I had a vague idea of looking forward to peace. I didn't want to see those familiar people die suddenly, and I didn't want to see those orphans who were suffering and lonely again.
And later, I did practice it with the encouragement of Sandai and others.
But after all, I was just an ordinary person in my previous life. Even if I was a human being in my second life, my experience may not be as rich as some adults in this world.
Compared with those children who went to the battlefield at a young age, the life in my greenhouse can almost be said to have given me no too profound experience.
Raikage once criticized his innocence, as did Orochimaru and Danzo.
I once said that I am unwilling to compromise, but I have to compromise on many things. After all, I still have various fetters, and it is impossible to do whatever I want unscrupulously.
In the past, I always had good expectations for this world, and I always thought that as long as I worked hard, I would be able to make everyone understand.
But the facts tell Conan that not everyone can understand each other, and not everything can be resolved peacefully.
The relationship between people is far more complicated than Conan thought.
Although I have always imagined that the goal of peace can be achieved without killing, the reality has been telling Conan that change requires constant bloodshed, whether it is the enemy's or his own, or even innocent people who are not related at all. .
Very often, you will be faced with a dilemma, and you may even have to make a choice that goes against your own will.
For example, this time, I don't have to worry about these irrelevant things that caused me all kinds of troubles. As long as my ultimate plan is completed, I have plenty of ways to easily settle these things, and I shouldn't affect the overall situation for the sake of small things in front of me. .
Is it really necessary to decide whether to do or not to do things based on the gains and losses of interests?If that's the case, wouldn't I become the kind of person I used to hate the most?
After thinking for a long time, Conan finally made a decision: "I have compromised many times, and this time I don't want to compromise again."
The few compromises I made before were all compromises when I had no choice. Whether it was Danzo or Raikage, it was difficult for me to deal with and bear the consequences.
But this time was fundamentally different from before.
Even if he really cleansed the country, it shouldn't pose any threat to his life, but it will cause a lot of trouble to Konoha in other places.
First of all, there must be a large reduction in entrusted tasks. Both merchants and nobles will definitely have great hostility towards Konoha after this incident. It is unlikely that there are so many tasks to be accepted now. Yes, the loss cannot be measured for the time being.
Moreover, his practice of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries beyond the daimyo will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the daimyo, and may continue to cut Konoha's expenses.
Without financial support, Konoha will inevitably live in a very difficult situation. Ninja Village is a gold-swallowing behemoth. Intelligence and research weapons require money. Without money, what happened in Ninja Village is a lesson for Konoha.
So the only thing that can be counted on is the opening of the trade route between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire. Of course, even if it fails, Konoha only needs to suffer for a year or two, and then he should be able to easily solve the daimyo.
What's more, a bad reputation will inevitably lead to hostility from top to bottom in other surrounding countries, including the civilians for which he stands out. His plan to spread Konoha's influence and win the hearts of the people will definitely be greatly frustrated, and he will secretly control the country Plans can also run into obstacles.
As for other possible bounties for one's own head, the hidden tricks of the daimyo and the various activities of the enemy's country may be troublesome, but as long as they do not hurt their lives, they can actually be ignored.
Compared with the loss of those foreign objects, people who are about to face a tragic fate in front of them deserve more attention.
And although it sounds like there will be a lot of losses, these are not fundamental fatal injuries, nor are there no opportunities to make up.
Thinking of this, Conan issued an order: "Send three groups of people and contact the local Konoha intelligence personnel to investigate the list of all relevant personnel in this incident."
Looking at the dark night sky, Conan said silently: "Although I have always hated killing, some things must be solved by killing. In order to implement my ninja way, I have to choose to become a god of death. .”
