The land of water, the underground of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Tsunade stood on the hill and surveyed the surrounding landscape.

It's hard to imagine that there would be such a vast space under the Daimyo's mansion, with a simulated sky overhead, and flowing clouds.

By the hot spring, the shore pillowed Zhao Meiming's legs, half of his body soaked in the hot spring, and slept soundly.

He was so tired, and the continuous battles left him physically and mentally exhausted.

When the dust settled, he had a little time to enjoy the quiet years.

Tsunade observes Terumi with his peripheral vision, and although he looks no more than ten years old, Terumi shows a temperament that makes people involuntarily quiet.

She stroked Shore's head, her turquoise eyes full of tenderness.

Maternal instinct? Tsunade involuntarily popped up with such a word.

When Anran came back before, Terumi was still innocent and brilliant in clothes, but now she seems to be a different person.

"Your memory," Tsunade said tentatively, approaching.

"It never went away." Terumi smiled, her voice slight, "It's just that my body can't bear it, and I've only stabilized recently." ”

Tsunade's eyes widened, and as the best medical ninja in the ninja world and an expert in the art of spiritualization, she quickly understood what Terumi meant by stability.

Complex memories need to be supported by a strong spirit, the spirit is like a container, and memory is the water inside.

If the container is filled with too much water, it will only collapse.

Terumi was stable in her mouth, and she was not as calm and breezy as she said.

Every bit of memory recovery is a devastating to the spirit.

Every devastation represents an unforgettable pain.

Terumi has been enduring such severe pain, while showing an innocent appearance and playing as if nothing happened.

"Why didn't you tell him?" Mute didn't understand, "Kishiran may have a way." ”

"What if he didn't?" Terumi smiled softly, her little hands arranging her messy white hair, and her movements were gentle, "If I hadn't, he would have known about the pain I was suffering and would have blamed himself for his inability to do anything." Originally, he blamed himself for his mistakes, and if he knew about my situation, I am afraid it would be even more uncomfortable. ”

Terumi looked at Kishiran's sleeping face and said softly, "Compared to seeing him blame himself, the previous situation is much better. ”

I'd rather suffer unforgettable pain than see Anran suffer because of self-blame, even if it's just a little possibility.

Tsunade didn't know what to say about Terumi's choice.

Is it stupid? How can this be considered stupid.

"Tsunade-sama, you must keep it a secret from Kishiran!" Terumi smiled mischievously.

"Including your memory?"

"Hmm." Terumi smiled sweetly, "It's been a long time since I've been able to get along with Kishi Ran like this, all I want is this kind of life, there are not so many complicated things, as long as I have been safe and stable." ”

Tsunade shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid Kishiran doesn't think so." ”

"He is more greedy than me, more courageous than me." Terumi smiled helplessly, "I want to escape, and he wants to eliminate all hidden dangers." ”

That's true.

Tsunade nodded, she had discovered early on that Kishiran's desire to control was very strong.

Perhaps because he knew too much about relationships, Anran always had a sense of crisis, and anything outside of his control would make him uneasy, and then frantically improve himself in order to control it.

Anran doesn't mind change, and is happy to see someone create variables, but only if the follow-up of variables can be controlled by him.

Rather than escaping, Kishi Ran prefers to have complete control over what compels him to escape.

Or completely destroyed.

"How long will it take for him to wake up?" Tsunade asked.

"It will take at least one day and one night." Terumi touched Kishiran's forehead with her forehead and gave the answer.

The long contact allowed her to simply judge the situation of Kishiran.

"What's going on here?" Shizune originally wanted to ask Kishiran, but Kishiran began to fall asleep after she returned.

"The underground playground was built by Kishiran, and the hot springs have the function of recovering injuries, which is where we used to train." Terumi looked around, and there was obvious nostalgia in her eyes, "Don't worry, it's safe here." ”

Mute sighed, "Kishi Ran went out before, and I didn't know what to do, what was the result"

"Since he's sleeping peacefully," Terumi chuckled, "it means he's in control." ”

The rolling clouds bring a moist breeze, but it can't dispel the oppressive dullness.

Xiao Nan, who had just escaped death, sat paralyzed under the tree, his red and swollen eyes full of confusion.

She has never had any big ambitions, and since she was sensible, her only thought was to live.

There's no particular reason for that, just a simple desire to live. I don't want to be like a carcass on the side of the road, being eaten by wild dogs and vultures.

Surviving in the middle of the battlefield is not an easy task, and it can even be said to be a torture.

Traps, poisons, and hidden weapons are everywhere, and danger is everywhere.

Hunger, cold, disease, and death followed.

But as long as you are alive, there will be good things happening, just like a flower blooming on the side of the road, there will definitely be surprises in life.

Her persistence paid off, and two more people appeared in her lonely life.

She began to want to live with them.

Then Jiraiya teacher also appeared and taught them how to live better.

Yahiko is smart and has found a way to keep more people alive together.

Nagato is very powerful, and he has the ability to put Yahiko's method into practice.

Let's live together, wait for the surprises that are about to appear in life, or go for the surprises and create miracles.

In Xiao Nan's view, this is the meaning of life.

But what about now?

Yahiko's soul is scattered, Nagato is dead, and the country they have single-handedly transformed is in shambles.

The meaning of being alive is gone.

Will there be miracles in life after that?

"Look at your eyes, it looks like you've just experienced a storm." The man with the whirlpool mask appeared in front of Xiao Nan, "Long time no see, Xiao Nan. ”

"Madara Uchiha!" Xiao Nan raised his head in despair, "Nagato, he"

"I know it all." The masked man held out his hand, "As you can see, there are so many secrets hidden in this world that even with the Vision of God you can't see through it. ”

Figures appeared behind him, and they stood silently behind the masked man, with solemn expressions.

"But we are not going to give up, I want to continue to explore the world and find the truth and root of everything." The masked man has one eye and is scarlet, "Are you coming?" ”

The truth and roots of the world

Konan's mind flashed the faces of Nagato and Yahiko, as well as the monster that devoured Nagato.

The world was changing so quickly that she was caught off guard.

Konan is not interested in the truth or roots of the world, but she wants to know what exactly Nagato was killed by and how to kill that monster. 14
