Leaving the affairs of the City of Commerce to the three generations with confidence, Conan set off with the army again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As he left the border of the Fire Nation and entered the River Country, Conan also began to plan ahead.

Although the main body of this construction legion is ninjas, and Conan and the others don't need to rest much, they are still followed by a lot of carriages carrying ordinary people and tools, so they need to stop and rest for a while from time to time.

While everyone was resting, Conan was not idle, and took out the map of the River Country and planned it.

I have to say that the environment of the country of rivers is indeed superior, and in a world like the Hokage World, which is full of all kinds of strange landforms, it is really not easy to have an environment suitable for survival.

Sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, the Land of the River has a suitable climate and temperature, and the Land of Rain, which is located upstream of it, has brought him abundant water resources, the domestic water network is dense, and the locals can also catch fish and shrimp in their leisure time for farming, if it is not for the occasional need to worry about floods, it can be said that this is the best living environment in the Hokage World.

It's just that this kind of living environment does not bring any good living conditions to the people of the River Country, although it does not have to suffer from natural disasters such as the continuous rainy days of the Land of Rain, nor does it have to endure the land disasters of the Land of the Wind for thousands of miles, but it has more serious man-made disasters than these conditions.

According to Conan, despite the superior environment and abundant harvests every year, the residents here still find it difficult to fill their stomachs and are in a state of hunger all year round.

The reason is very simple, first of all, the oppression of the two great powers, the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, in this world all small countries without exception can only accept the exploitation of the big powers, and their existence itself exists as a war zone and to provide supplies for the big powers.

The less you produce and the less you pay tribute, the more you produce, the more you naturally pay tribute, the country of the wind means that we can't eat enough, why let a small country be full, the country of fire means that the white is not cheap, and the country of the wind cannot be all cheap, so most of the output of the country of the river still goes into the belly of the two neighbors.

In addition, coupled with the oppression of local officials and landlords, if it weren't for the abundance of fish and shrimp to replenish, I am afraid that many people in the country of rivers would really starve to death.

Looking at the map, Conan is looking for a suitable drainage point, with the area of the dry land of the country of wind, the amount of water required must not be small, and he can only find a way on a few main streams, and the terrain of this source must be higher, at present, Conan has demarcated several suitable locations, just wait for the specific investigation when the time comes.

In fact, the most suitable place is actually the Land of Rain, where the rain can be said to be excessive, but Conan considered that it was Xiao's territory, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble for you, Conan gave up this plan.

Of course, there is no problem in choosing the country of rivers, where the water is also abundant, and it can also solve the dilemma of occasional floods in the country of rivers.

Thinking that his plan had finally begun to be implemented, Conan began to get excited slightly.

It's just that Conan's excitement soon disappeared again.

As you go deeper into the country of rivers, you find a trace of disharmony, although the country of rivers can be said to be beautiful, but the people are too sparse.

Along the way, we passed through two villages, or places that used to be villages, and the whole village was empty, not even the sound of domestic animals, like dead villages.

"It seems that the war between our Konoha and Sha Shinobi before has brought a lot of pain to this country." Conan suddenly sighed.

Although Conan was not present in the follow-up battle between Konoha and Sha Ninja, the battle did last for a short time, and there were not a few casualties in Konoha and Sha Ninja, and it was normal for civilians in the war zone to be affected.

In the war zone, not to mention whether the civilians will take the initiative to flee these dangerous areas, it is impossible for the warring parties to allow unknown strangers to exist in the middle of the war zone, and when encountering unidentified civilians in the wild, in order to avoid unnecessary danger, most ninjas shoot a dart at will, so as long as there is a big war, there will generally be a large-scale exodus between the war zones.

From these empty villages, Conan can imagine how the people who lived here before suffered how they had to leave their homeland with their only rations and embark on an unknown path of life and death, and it is estimated that less than half of them will survive, thinking of the scene of the land of Yuno Kuni that happened in the battlefield between Yunnin and Konoha before, Conan's mood was low again.

Hearing Conan's explanation of such a scene, Conan and his party were a little depressed, even Naruto, who had always been lively and active, became passive and lowered his head sullenly.

And to Conan's surprise, Sasuke, who has always been indifferent, is also a little uncomfortable in the face of such a scene.

Looking at Sasuke with a bad face, Conan laughed slightly, sure enough, Sasuke's nature is not bad, but reality has been forcing him, and under his own guidance, he can be regarded as embarking on a completely different path from the original.

Soon, Conan and the others met a third, a fourth, such village.

"Conan, something is wrong." Kakashi said suddenly.

Conan looked at the deserted village in front of him, thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something, and nodded solemnly: "It's really wrong." ”

It stands to reason that even if a large number of people will be evacuated during the war, they should often return to their homes as soon as possible after the war, and even if many people die, a large number of people will eventually return.

And the empty villages in front of me don't make sense at all, the war has been over for a short time, people should also come back, one or two empty villages may have abandoned the village by accident, but so many villages... It's definitely not a coincidence that makes sense.

After hearing Conan's words, Jiraiya seriously sensed the surrounding environment and said, "It's true that no one is there anymore, it's just..."

Jiraiya said and picked up some crops on both sides of the road and carefully identified them.

"These crops were still being cultivated not so long ago, and there are traces of people living in the village not long ago."

Hearing this, Conan's expression became more and more solemn: "So these people all disappeared not long ago?" ”

Looking at the dead village in front of him, Conan's thoughts were mixed.

After a while, Conan ordered sharply: "Send ten scout teams to scout around, and bring them back if you encounter a living person, there may be something wrong here, be careful." (To be continued.) )
