Chapter 201: Reflection and Growth

Walking in a larger city in the country of rivers, Conan and his party finally saw some popularity, but Conan and the others were never happy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The pale faces of the pedestrians in the street were pale, obviously malnourished, and all of them looked at him and the others with hostility in their eyes, and Conan believed that these people would want to eat him alive if he could.

Suddenly, some noise on a street corner catches Conan's attention.

With the voice, Conan and the 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, all kinds of noisy sounds came to Conan's ears.

"Mommy, don't leave me!"

"Look, my girl looks so cute, give me a few more money."

"Go, go, don't want old people here."

......

Here, Conan saw with his own eyes that there were people holding their children and begging for a few more money. Some people are looking at their lips like cattle but still performing hard, and some older people are helpless to wait for death on the side of the road because no one picks them.

"It's... Is this world's most real pain? Conan muttered to himself.

This scene in front of him touched Conan deeply.

Naruto, Sasuke and the others next to them were also dumbfounded, looking at these scenes in front of them that they had never imagined.

Zilai also couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "I've actually seen a lot of things like this... I've seen a lot of even more miserable than this... At least, they don't starve to death. ”

After a long silence, Conan said slowly, "I'm sorry..."

There is no doubt that Conan is guilty at the moment, Conan himself did not expect that his plan to help the Land of the River and the Land of Wind would cause so many tragedies.

"You can't be blamed for this, Conan." Jiraiya comforted: "I can only blame those greedy people." ”

"Boss, I can't take it anymore, let's go get rid of those people." Naruto couldn't hold back his anger anymore.

Conan ignored Naruto's words and silently took out some money and gave it to some people who needed it urgently, but after getting the money, people still looked at Konoha with hatred.

At night, Conan silently recalled his former rhetoric.

At first, I only had a faint idea of looking forward to peace after seeing too many tragedies, and I didn't want to see those familiar people pass away suddenly, and I didn't want to see those orphans who were miserable and lonely again.

Later, I did practice with the encouragement of three generations and others.

But... In the final analysis, he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, even if he was a human in two lives, his experience may not be as rich as that of some adults in this world.

Compared with those children who go to war at a few years old, life in their own greenhouse can almost be said to have no too profound experience.

Thunder Shadow once criticized his own naivety, and Orochimaru and Danzo also criticized it.

I once said that I was unwilling to compromise, but I had to compromise on many things, after all, I still have all kinds of fetters, and it is impossible to do whatever I want unscrupulously.

I used to have good expectations for the world, and I always thought that as long as I worked hard, I would be able to make everyone understand.

But the truth tells 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 he has always fantasized that he can achieve peace without killing, reality has been telling Conan that change, that requires constant bloodshed, whether it is the enemy or his own, or even innocent people who have nothing to do with it at all.

At all times, we will face a dilemma, and even have to make a choice that goes against our own will.

For example, this time, you don't have to worry about these things that can be said to be inconsequential and get yourself into trouble, as long as your ultimate plan is completed, you have a way to easily settle these things, and you shouldn't affect the overall situation for the sake of the small things in front of you.

It's just that... Is it really necessary to decide whether to do things or not to do them based on the gains and losses of interests? If that's the case, won't I become the kind of person I used to hate the most...

After thinking about it for a long time, Conan finally made a decision: "I have compromised many times, and this time... I don't want to compromise anymore. ”

The previous compromises were all compromised when they had no choice, whether it was Tuan Zang or Lei Ying, it was difficult for them to deal with and bear the consequences.

But this time is fundamentally different from the past.

Even if he really cleansed the country, he shouldn't pose any threat to his life, but he will just cause a lot of trouble to Konoha somewhere else.

First of all, it must be a large reduction in the number of entrusted tasks, whether it is a merchant or a nobleman, after this incident, they will definitely have great hostility towards Konoha, and it is unlikely that there are so many tasks to take on now, and the loss is immeasurable for the time being.

Moreover, his interference in the internal affairs of other countries by bypassing the daimyo will inevitably cause the daimyo to be dissatisfied, and he may continue to reduce Konoha's expenses.

Without financial support, Konoha will inevitably have a very embarrassing life, Ninja Village is a gold-swallowing monster, intelligence research weapons need money, without money, the miserable situation of Ninja Village is a lesson from Konoha's past.

So the only thing that can be counted on is the opening of the trade route of the country of wind and the country of fire, of course, even if it fails, Konoha will only need to endure for a year or two, and then he should be able to easily solve the daimyo.

In addition, a bad reputation will inevitably lead to hostility from top to bottom in other countries around him, including the civilians he stands for, and his plan to spread Konoha influence to win the hearts and minds of the people will definitely be greatly frustrated, and his plan to secretly control the country will also be hindered.

As for other small actions that may be a bounty for their own heads, the daimyo secretly and the various activities of the enemy country may be troublesome, but as long as they don't hurt their lives, they can actually be ignored.

Compared with the loss of those external objects, the people who are about to face the tragic fate in front of them deserve more attention.

And although it may seem like a lot of losses, these are not fundamental fatal wounds, nor are they without a chance to make amends.

Thinking of this, Conan gave an order: "Send three groups of people and contact the local Konoha intelligence officers to investigate the list of all the people involved in this incident." ”

Looking at the dark night sky, Conan silently said, "Although I have always hated killing, there are some things that must be solved by killing, and in order to carry out my ninja path, I have to choose to become the god of death." (To be continued.) )
