Chapter 242 Seeds of Hope

It took a lot of effort for Conan to escort these villagers back to their own villages.

It is obvious that Conan is out of kindness, but these people seem to be facing the end of the world, and they are in constant fear.

Sighing helplessly again, Conan didn't know what to say.

It can only be said that it may have become the instinct of these people to flee as soon as they encounter a war.

Their fear has penetrated into the marrow of their bones.

Even troops with no morale on the battlefield often have strange images of one person chasing a hundred people, not to mention these civilians in front of them.

In the history of wars in previous lives, there are many examples of entire nations and even entire countries being frightened to migrate, not to mention the disparity in the strength of ninjas in the world.

These people are all people who have experienced wars. Not to mention, not long ago, Konoha and Sand Ninja fought here, and many people died here.

And those who can survive the war will naturally understand the horror of war even more.

Even if I told them that Konoha's ninjas were here to assist in the construction, they probably wouldn't believe it.

After all, not long ago, or for many years, every Konoha ninja brought death.

Conan didn't bother to defend these overthinking civilians, and they would know the truth in the end.

Simply restricting these villagers from leaving too far, Conan continued to lead people to work.

Conan didn't care, but these confined civilians were terrified.

Not long after, the old man was elected again and met with Conan.

"Master Conan, the villagers around here have elected a representative and want to see you."

"Ok?"

Conan hesitated for a moment, but he still thought it would be good to have an interview. Although they will know the truth in the end, it would be better to make it clear in advance.

"My lord, my name is Mu, and I'm a priest in a nearby village."

The old man bowed respectfully and looked at Conan carefully.

"I don't know what you want to do when you catch us, my lord. Please explain clearly so that we can be prepared. If there is anything we can do to help, we will definitely do our best to help."

Conan sighed helplessly.

"I've said it all, we are here to help you, there is no need to run around. There is nothing wrong with it, but you have to leave your hometown, it is really troublesome."

"Help us?"

The old man was slightly stunned and asked in doubt: "I don't know what you mean by helping, my lord."

"The information you got before was not completely wrong. We did plan to dig a canal to bring in the water from the Kingdom of Rivers, but it was not at all what you imagined."

After taking the map, Conan gestured.

"The river we opened will circle around your country of the wind, and then open a large number of tributaries to ensure that you can grow food in places where the peripheral land is not bad."

Speaking of which, Conan smiled: "This way you won't have to go hungry in the future."

"This this"

Conan's answer was completely different from what the old man thought,
It made him a little uncomfortable.

He had a lot of conjectures beforehand, but this was the only thing he could never have imagined.

"how can that be?"

"Hehe, there's nothing impossible about this. Ninjas are humans too, and they're not as scary as you think. You just need to stay in peace, and we'll leave soon."

The old man was silent for a moment, he understood that this seemingly young but extremely high-status boy in front of him had no need to lie to him.

Just why would they do it?
"My lord, aren't you Konoha's ninjas?"

"This, not exactly, there are also some ninjas from Sand Ninja Village in the Land of Wind, but they are indeed mainly ninjas from the Land of Fire."

The old man was even more puzzled.

"Then why do you come here to do such a thing? Are you hired by our Wind Country?"

"No, didn't I already say that before?"

Looking at the dazed old man in front of him, Conan smiled and said, "In order to keep you from starving."

"How is this possible."

Conan's reason couldn't convince the old man at all, he didn't believe that Konoha would just help them for no reason.

"So what can you Konoha get?"

"What do you get?"

Conan looked into the distance and thought for a while.

"Haha, on the surface, it seems that we really didn't get anything. But we got Yi Yang's most important thing."

Conan smiled again: "That is hope."

Pointing to the river bed being dug outside, Conan said boldly: "This is a river leading to peace, and it is also a seed full of hope."

"It won't be long before this place will become one of the best grain-producing places, enough for the people of your Wind Country to live a prosperous life, and no one will starve to death. Naturally, there will be no reason to fight again. There won't be so many innocent people dying because of war."

"Not necessarily everything has to be done for profit, I just want to plant a seed of hope in this hopeless world and see what kind of flowers it can bloom."

Seeing the old man's unbelievable expression, Conan shook his head.

"I know you still can't believe it, so you just need to wait. I don't have to lie to you at all."

The old man was silent for a moment, and asked: "My lord, I want to stay here for a few days, can I find out the specific situation?"

"Huh? Of course."

At Conan's construction site, the old man kept wandering around, investigating something.

Although the old man can't believe the words of these ninjas, there are still many non-ninjas helping here, including craftsmen from the Fire Country, and people from the River Country who volunteered to help after receiving the favor.

"What? Is that young adult Conan the legendary god of death who slaughtered a country?" The old man couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What god of death?" A fan of Conan from the country of rivers suddenly became dissatisfied.

"And where did you get the news that Master Conan massacred a country? Obviously, Master Conan killed everyone in our country from the hands of those bastard nobles."

After hearing what Conan did in the country of the river, the old man was even more shocked. Unlike those ignorant ordinary people, he, who is well-informed, understands what Conan's actions mean.

A day later, the old man confirmed that these people really came to help them unconditionally, and immediately returned to his village with tears in his eyes.

"My lord priest, what's wrong with you? Has something serious happened?"

The old man shook his head: "Call everyone, come with me!"
