A bag of beans, a pack of cigarettes, and a day of control by the Otsutsuki God

"Young people, let me ask you a few questions. Can you answer them?"

"Please tell me." Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but since he had no obvious hostility, there was still room for communication.

"Are you engaged in production?"

"Production..." Everyone scratched their heads in embarrassment after hearing this: "No."

"Then where does the food you eat come from?"

"We will do some commissioned tasks to make money and then buy food."

"Okay, so do you know the current food prices in Yuyin Village?"

"I know, 100 taels per catty is very expensive."

"Okay, it seems that you are all very diligent in your tasks. With such a high price of food, you are all well fed." Hanzo smiled: "So, what about other people in the Kingdom of Rain? How many people can afford food? "

At this time, Yahiko came forward and replied: "Very few. This is why we strive for peace, because in the war, we have no time to engage in production, and the food will only eat less and less. This will not work."

"Very good. It seems that you are a young man with ideas." Hanzo walked up to Yahiko and patted his shoulder with appreciation: "So, where does peace come from?"

"I believe that as long as people understand each other and everyone understands each other's thoughts, peace will be possible." Yahiko said with a serious face.

"Haha" Hanzo couldn't help laughing: "That's why I said you are just a group of innocent young people."

"Please make it clear." Yahiko was not annoyed at all. As a senior, Hanzo said this, he could completely accept it.

"Why do the five major countries want to start a war here? Because they have their own conflicts of interest. The Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind both want the fertile land of the Kingdom of Fire, and they also want to eat rice every day. If you want to come forward to talk, How do you talk to them?"

"I would say..." Yahiko thought for a while: "The Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind do lack arable land, while the Kingdom of Fire has very abundant arable land. I would suggest that the Kingdom of Fire use part of the arable land and the two major countries. Exchange other benefits so that everyone benefits.”

"Hahahahaha" Hanzo laughed with tears in his eyes now: "Yahiko, didn't you just say that you should understand each other's thoughts? Why don't you understand the thoughts of the five major countries now?"

"Well?"

"You are right, everyone can just get what they need, but have you ever thought about a problem? On this kind of issue, the choice of big countries has always been 'I want it all'. Everyone not only wants the interests of the other party , and I didn’t want to bleed, so I started fighting.”

"Everyone gets what he needs is a good path, but the premise of taking this path is that 'I want them all' doesn't work. Do you understand?"

Hanzo clenched his fist tightly in front of Yahiko: "You have to give him a big ear first and tell him that he can't take it from you, so that he will consider doing business with you, otherwise, the winner will take all In this situation, who will get what you need?"

At this time, everyone in the Akatsuki organization felt an extraordinary sense of oppression. They thought carefully about what Hanzo said, and couldn't help but begin to recognize him. At the same time, they also sighed in their hearts, "He is indeed the great hero of the Land of Rain, Hanzo, and he is not." We can compare."

Hanzo became amiable at this time. He held Yahiko in one hand and Nagato in the other, and then said to Konan: "I have started to get old. The Kingdom of Rain will rely on you young people in the future. Before you grow up, , I will use my last remaining light to protect you."

"Yahiko, you have to implement your ideas well, but don't be as naive as before. The pursuit of peace is right, but don't forget that peace must be obtained with fists. The premise of mutual understanding is that the other party is incapable of fighting and You are being unreasonable.”

Yahiko nodded seriously.

"And Nagato, I know that you have the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths. You will be very strong in the future, stronger than me. In the future, the Land of Rain, Yahiko, and Konan will all rely on you to protect them. ,do you understand?"

Nagato nodded vigorously in promise.

"Finally, Xiaonan, you are the one. One of them is extremely smart and the other is extremely powerful. But they can't survive without you. Without you, these two idiots may not be able to eat well. Take care of these two idiots. It's very simple. It's not difficult to take care of a group of people in Xiao's organization. But in the future, the entire Kingdom of Rain may depend on you. Can you bear it? "

"I will do my best." Xiaonan replied solemnly.

"Okay, okay." Hanzo laughed with great satisfaction: "In the future, with you in the Country of Rain, I can retire and retire with peace of mind. You can do it with confidence and boldness. Before I get too old, I will do my best in all aspects. Support you and guide you!”

"Hanzo-sama!" Many people in the Akatsuki organization were moved to tears on the spot.

What kind of fairy village leader is this? Not only does he have unparalleled magical powers, but he also trains his descendants step by step. He is very strict when he is stern, and makes people want to cry when he is kind. It is a great honor for the Akatsuki organization to meet him.

Even Nagato and the others had tears in their eyes at this moment. Although they had admired Hanzo before, they never thought that he would be so kind and even want to train them as the successors of Amegakure Village.

As for Hanzo himself, he was not so moved at the moment.

At this moment, all he could think about was: "Naruto! I've done what you said. I taught Yahiko, and I also entrusted Nagato and Konan. Is this okay? Is this okay? This way I Can you retire safely!”

Chapter 290: Sunagakure’s Rebellion

After solving the problems of the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Fire, the only thing left is the Kingdom of Wind.

Although most of the world, including the five major nations, was involved in the Third Ninja War, the reason was still because the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure Village was missing and they searched everywhere regardless of the cost.

Sunagakure Village cast a wide net regardless of the cost, causing everyone to know that the third generation Kazekage was missing, and Sunagakure was in chaos.

The sudden disappearance or death of a young man in his prime can cause devastating damage to a village. Putting aside the combat effectiveness of this shadow, once he disappears or dies, his faction and his supporters will immediately be strengthened by the opposition, and naturally they will not be willing to sit back and wait for death, so they can only Fight.

The shadow disappeared, and the high-level officials fought with each other, which caused the grassroots to lose control and the entire country was in chaos. This is why the Kingdom of Wind became the trigger for the Third World War.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, it would have been the same if the fourth generation was killed in battle, but at that time there was still the Sandaime, the number one figure who was still alive, who was able to stop the high-level infighting, so the Fire Country was not in chaos, but it still attracted Kumogakure's blackmail later.

The situation in the Kingdom of Wind is much worse. Their talent reserve is not sufficient to begin with, and the Red Sand Scorpion who has the potential to become the next generation of Kage has defected. Once the third generation of Kage disappears, domestic turmoil is inevitable.

With the chaos like this, if other big countries don't take advantage of the situation and do something, they would be very sorry for their moral integrity as big countries.

Even if you have nothing to covet in the Kingdom of Wind, what about your allies? What about your projection of power outside the country? The scope of interests of a big country is not limited to its own territory.

The Kingdom of Wind may not have the strength to regain its own interests for the time being, but when the big powers share their meat, they will start fighting.

Many times, when everyone is able to maintain a kind of superficial peace, it is not necessarily just because they are equal in strength, but more likely because there is no benefit that allows everyone to put down their dignity and snatch it.

For example, a piece of plump beef leg slices can turn three brothers who were originally harmonious into enemies.

Once the war starts, the subsequent development is beyond everyone's control. Maybe at the beginning, I didn't want to fight a war. I just wanted to break out a little armed conflict and then grab a piece of meat. What I didn't expect was that you would punch me and I would be beaten. The harder the attack, the more troops are invested and the more people sneak in. In the end, the situation turns into a world war.

Therefore, now is the best time to prevent the Third Ninja War, because it has not started yet. As long as the fuse is extinguished in time, the outbreak of the Third Ninja War will be greatly delayed.

As for completely putting an end to war, this requires staying in this world for a long time. Naruto does not have that much time to spend here. What he can do is to resolve several major contradictions in the future in this year, and the rest It depends on what dad and his generation do.

Naruto put his fingers on his forehead to search for the qi in the Kingdom of Wind, and then discovered the reason why the three wars in this world have not yet broken out: the Red Sand Scorpion has not yet killed the third Kazekage.

In his own world line, the Red Sand Scorpion transformed himself into a pure puppet around the 47th year of Konoha, and then assassinated the third Kazekage, which subsequently led to the beginning of the Third Ninja War.

But in this world line, for some unknown reason, the Red Sand Scorpion has not yet transformed itself into a puppet, and the plan to assassinate the Third Kazekage has not yet begun.

It was also because he sensed the complete energy of the Red Sand Scorpion that Naruto knew the biggest difference between the two worlds.

Many times, in fact, most places between parallel worlds are exactly the same. The reason for the emergence of two world lines is sometimes just a person's behavior or life and death that changes in a single thought.

In Trunks' future world line, everyone is the same as the original world. The only difference is that Goku is dead. It is because his life and death have changed that the entire world line has finally entered a completely different world. Same ending.

It is because the red sand scorpion here has not killed the third Kazekage yet, that led to the strange situation that Konoha has been at peace for 48 years.

Naruto was very curious about what happened to the red sand scorpion in this world, so he immediately used teleportation to lock the scorpion's energy and fly over.

He did not appear in front of Xie immediately, but observed him secretly first.

At this time, Xie was twenty-eight years old, and he was still a red-haired and beautiful boy who was as indistinguishable as Bai. Judging from his aura, he was still in a physical body, not a human puppet.

Different from the other world line, at this time, he did not feel as lifeless as he did in middle age, but his eyelids were drooped as always, looking listless.

He was sitting at the entrance of the cave, with a fire burning next to him. He was warming himself by the fire alone at the entrance of the cave, while looking at the drizzle outside and thinking about life.

Seeing this, Naruto used his transformation technique in the distance and turned into a farm boy wearing a bamboo hat, who hurried over from a distance as if he was just passing by.

Scorpion's first reaction was to be wary. Naruto noticed that his fingers had just moved, and he felt like he was about to violently kill someone, but then he restrained himself and chose to watch calmly as Naruto ran in front of him.

Naruto sat down in front of him, took off his bamboo hat, and then greeted Scorpion familiarly: "Hello, brother, are you hiding from the rain here too?"

"I happen to be resting here." Xie stared at the young man in front of him.

"You're in this wilderness, you didn't run away from your family, right?" Naruto introduced himself: "My name is Menma, I live in a village nearby. I had a fight with my grandma recently. So I ran out alone."

"Did you quarrel with grandma?" Xie was slightly moved, "I'm probably a bit like you."

"Really? But I kind of regret it now. I can't live alone in this wilderness. If I accidentally encounter a wild beast or something, I will explain it."

"You'd better go back early." Xie looked outside the cave, his eyes seeming to be staring at a place in the distance.

"What about you, brother? Aren't you planning to go back?" Naruto looked at him with burning eyes.

"Go back? I don't want to go back." Xie sighed, stood up and walked outside the cave, letting the rain fall on him.

Naruto followed and walked to him: "Have you... been wronged in any way?"

"Grieved? I can't talk about it. I just feel that staying at home is very painful. Being outside will make me feel better." Xie looked at his palms: "My parents left me when I was young. Since then, Since then, I often feel a kind of pain.”

"Even though I really want to get rid of it, as I grow older, it only eats me up more and more. I often feel that life is not important at all, but my grandma will forcefully tell me that life is It’s very important and requires me to cherish my life.”

"I couldn't listen at all. Even though I knew she was doing it for my own good, her words would only make me more painful. She made me feel that seeking relief was also a sin."

"So I escaped. Now I am free. I am seriously considering whether to escape."

The liberation that Scorpion talks about means making oneself a human puppet. As long as there is no body, human nature will be lost, and naturally there will be no pain.

At this moment, he was at a crossroads in his life. He himself was very hesitant about where to go. There seemed to be two voices in his heart. One voice called him to return to the village, to go back to his grandma, and to continue doing the work. Sunagakure's scorpion, and another voice was tempting him, asking him to go to the puppet technique he relied on most, using it to completely relieve the pain, and completely immerse himself in his art.

Because of this, he would easily confide in a young man he had just met, because he also longed to get some answers from the young man.

If he finally chooses to return to the village, he will go home with the boy. If he eventually turns to puppetry, he will kill the boy and make him his first human puppet.

Xie's eyes were fixed on the boy beside him, and the next words he got from him would determine the life or death of the two of them.

Chapter 291 Rizu is missing

"I can probably understand how you feel."

Naruto sat down on a stone at the entrance of the cave and then said, "You feel pain because a part of you has disappeared."

"Part of me?" Xie thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, in fact, none of us are complete at this moment. We have different appearances in front of everyone, and every appearance is real. In other words, everyone has a different look placed on them. When that person is gone, a part of us is gone.”

Naruto pointed at himself: "I have a group of friends and juniors, and I haven't met them for a long, long time. In front of my current friends and relatives, I am often serious and business-like. But I only have that group of seniors. I only show my crooked side in front of my friends.”

"I'm always honest in front of my parents, but I'm very unruly in front of my old friends. I even used them as prototypes in my color novels, and they still read them with relish."

"I have an old friend. For some reasons, I haven't seen him for seven years. During these seven years, I feel that the unruly me I used to be with him has disappeared. I even feel like I am getting old. ”

"It wasn't until I met him again seven years later that the feeling of being unruly came back, and I immediately became the person I was before."

Naruto thought of the seven years since Goku's death. During those seven years, he was no longer the young boy who grew up with Goku. After Goku's death, he would support and take care of the family, wife, children and children left behind by Goku as an elder. , during that time he really felt like he was getting older.

Until Buu attacked, Goku also came back. Naruto and Goku, one took the color novel he wrote, and the other took Bulma's photo, to bribe the old pervert Kaioshin. At that time, they couldn't bear it. I smiled knowingly, because this feeling of being unruly was so familiar, so comforting and nostalgic.

After Naruto leaves, Goku and Vegeta will probably miss him very much. Every time they fight, Naruto and Piccolo are their two external brains, one on the left and the other on the right. Goku and Vegeta can always Give them the strongest power, while Naruto and Piccolo will give them the most wicked and useful tactics.

Just like during the Tournament of Power, Naruto used the Clone Technique to return to the audience, making everyone think that he had withdrawn due to his healing skills. However, when he defeated Jiren in the finals, he suddenly turned into white mist and disappeared from the audience. , then I appeared on the battlefield, filled up Goku and Vegeta's health in front of Jiren, and threw a pair of Botara to them.

I really miss Jiren’s expression at that time.

"Actually, I sometimes feel lonely now because I miss my old friends, and I miss the me in front of them even more."

Naruto looked into the distance and sighed: "When people grow up, they always lament that they are not as innocent as they were when they were children, and they are not as carefree as before. In fact, this is just because our innocence has been placed on us. The carefree person is gone, and so are we, the innocent ones.”

"The reason why you feel so painful must be because you have placed a lot of trust in your parents. You have placed the best part of yourself in them. But when they are gone, the best part of you is also lost."

Xie was silent. He looked up at the sky, and rainwater flowed down his cheeks. After a while, he said silently: "You are right, but how can I make up for the lost part?"

Xie really tried to find a way to make up for it. After his parents died, he used his talent in puppetry to create a pair of puppet parents and let them hug him. In the middle of the night, he lay on the bed, with his father and mother on both sides. , he fell asleep in the arms of the two puppets, as if they were still alive.

But that is ultimately false, and Scorpio cannot deceive himself.

"Isn't there someone in this world who loves you? Maybe go home and take a look, and you will find the answer."

If it were in his own world, Naruto would go directly to Sasuke to have a reincarnation to pull his parents out, and the problem would be solved immediately. But this is another world after all, and all he can do here is give guidance.

Maybe the Red Sand Scorpion can find a way to fill the vacancy and return to Sand Hidden Village. Maybe he will replace Rasa as the Fourth Kazekage, and many things will change.

Or maybe he finally chose to make himself a puppet, assassinate the Third Kazekage, and follow his own path.

Naruto will leave a note for Chiyo, telling her that if Scorpion does not return to the village in the end, then she must pay attention to the safety of the Third Kazekage.

Xie stood in the rain for a long time, and finally chose to walk into the distance, but no one knew whether his destination was Sand Hidden Village or somewhere else.

However, after he took a few steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Naruto. There was a smile on the face of the beautiful young man: "You are not a villager here, are you? Although I don't know who you are, you dress up like this. Thank you for talking to me so much.”

Then, Scorpion's figure gradually disappeared into the heavy rain.

The Third Ninja World War did not break out in the end. It was not until a year later that the Third Kazekage was still living in office. The only difference was that Chiyo no longer fished. She began to be active in the political arena of Sunagakure. In her words, she wanted to earn some political capital for her precious grandson. In the future, her eldest grandson would become the Wind Shadow, and her son and daughter-in-law would be able to rest in peace in heaven.

A small-scale conflict broke out between the Rain Country and the Earth Country next door. Originally, the Earth Country planned to go to war. However, the Akatsuki Organization, which has always been committed to peace, specially invited people from the Earth Country to have a meeting at the border. The two sides fully communicated. They finally reached a settlement and the Earth Kingdom withdrew its troops.

According to relevant sources, voices such as "Spicy Tiansai" and "Wang Xiaoting" were vaguely heard at the border.
