The world of ninjas is still too cruel for ordinary people.

Even Konoha, who holds himself with the will of fire, only puts on a cloak called kindness for that layer of cruelty.

……

Walking on the street blankly, Xiao Li's expression rarely revealed a trace of exhaustion.

At this time, it has been two days since Tian Tian mysteriously disappeared from the village.

On the way, no matter where Xiao Li went to look for it, he still didn't find any news about Tiantian.

In this way, Mr. Akai, who had already retired, also went to the Hokage's office and asked the fifth Hokage-sama to help find him.

But how could the disappearance of an ordinary ninja attract the attention of those big people in the village!

And after Mr. Akai retired, as a former ninja, he also lost the right to assign the dark department.

Even Mr. Akai's former friend, Kakashi Hagi, had no time to assist Xiao Li and them because of the tense situation, so the task of finding Tian Tian could only fall on Xiao Li, the only remaining member of the third class.

It's just that for a physical ninja, Xiao Li can only repeatedly wander back and forth in the places where he may go every day, but he still can't find a trace of useful information.

Gradually, Xiao Li also understood the cruelty of the name 'reality'!

It's just that he was inexplicably unwilling, so he could only clench his fists and continue to run around in vain.

……

The artisan ninja village at sunset is still shrouded in tranquility.

On the huge sculpture that belonged to Ning Ci, Ning Ci sat there quietly, his eyes looking down on the busy village below from afar.

Feeling the surge of the high-altitude current, Ning Ci blinked inexplicably, but his mind drifted into the distance.

Compared to Konoha who was immersed in uneasy emotions, or the Xiao organization that was caught in the last busyness, it was not as comfortable as Ning Ci at this moment.

It's just that this kind of comfort faintly reveals a hint of being wary, which is right what Ning Ci expected.

As the information about Jiraiya spread, it was rare for Xiao to not ask him about it.

Whether it was Jue or Obito who could use the spatial ninjutsu, since their traces had been in place for a while, Ning Ci's reincarnation eye had not detected any chakra signals about them at all.

All this has foreshadowed everything.

The honeymoon period between him and the Xiao organization has ended, and Ningji, who has established his own ninja force, has gradually become feared in terms of strength and power after killing Jiraiya.

But Ning Ci did not regret all this.

Because whether it is Nagato's practice of making the world temporarily peaceful with pain, or the Moon Eye plan with soil, it is not recognized by Ningji.

Nagato's approach is to promote himself to a god to make choices on people's behalf, but Obito is the opposite, he directly immerses everyone in the world of illusion, directly denying people's right to choose.

Whatever the practice, they deprive people of the right to self-choose.

Therefore, Ning Ci chose to go another way.

Completely unify this long-turbulent ninja world, maybe it will collapse in the future, but as Ning Ji makes a new start for this world, people in the troubled times in the future will have another choice after all.

Unlike the original generation, which pressed everything into the naïve idea that people would eventually understand each other, Ninji's approach, although cruel, would eventually allow this chaotic ninja world to have that brief peace.

Therefore, no matter what twists and turns there are in the later eras, they are tired of the war after all, and they will spontaneously give birth to the idea of unifying this troubled era.

Only they can have such an idea, and for Ning Ci, it is enough!

However, if you want to complete this idea, you still need Ning Ci to work a little harder.

For example, in the Xiao organization, the dried persimmon ghost shark known as the 'tailless tailed beast' was the target of Ning Ci's struggle.

Although the current owner of the Big Sword Shark Machine has been bewitched by the soil in the palm of his hand, Ning Ci is still confident that he will win him over.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ning Ci's mouth, which was sitting quietly on a high place, turned up to reveal an inexplicable sneer.

"Is it Takikure?"

I knew in my heart that the place where the ghost shark was going this time was the closed village, and after whispering to himself, Ning Ci's figure disappeared in a motion.

……

Taki-no-kuni specially lured the little girl of the seven-tailed man from the closed village, and it took a lot of hard work for the oni shark to defeat this unusually cute little girl.

"It's really worthy of the seven-tailed human pillar power, it's much more difficult than the four-tailed old man!"

The ghost shark grabbed the drowning coma with one hand, and threw the little girl on the dry ground, and then as the ghost shark's body shook, he slowly separated from the fusion of the shark machine, and the monster-like shark appearance gradually returned to its human appearance.

All this is not a ghost shark's pretense of a lie, it is completely different from the old purple of the four human pillar power, but the seven-tailed one that this blue-haired little girl has the ability to fly, and it is a rare human pillar force that is good at agility.

If it weren't for her young age, the ghost shark wouldn't have been too sure to capture her alive.

"Hurry up and bring this little girl back, otherwise it will be very troublesome if those Taki Shinobi find out!"

Looking down, the ghost shark bared its sharp teeth because of the astonishing ruins caused by the recent fight.

After waiting impatiently for a while, a man shrouded in pitcher plants emerged as the ground shook.

"You're coming too slowly!"

Looking at the absolute that finally appeared, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in the ghost shark's tone.

But even so, the ghost shark still threw the human pillar force picked on the ghost shark in front of Jue.

"You also need to understand our work of gathering intelligence for the organization."

This time, it was Hei Jue who slowly explained.

However, the ghost shark snorted coldly at this, and it seemed that he didn't buy this answer.

"When will the seal of the human pillar force begin?"

Staring at the action of preparing to bring the human pillar force back under him, the ghost shark suddenly asked this question.

"Wait until Sasuke captures the Eight-Tails, and then seal them together!"

Listening to the ghost shark's question, Hei Jue paused the movements in his hand, raised his head and looked at the ghost shark not far away and slowly explained this.

"Really, that means the Nine-Tails are going to be saved to last?"

Looking at the human pillar force under him, a fake smile appeared on the ghost shark's face.

"Hmm!"

In this regard, Hei Jue just nodded slowly, and then they took the little girl who had completely integrated the seven-tailed human pillar power into the ground.

"Then we'll take our leave!"

After Bai Jue glanced at the ghost shark who was still staying in place, he said this, and left here with Hei Jue.

Only the ghost shark was left alone, carrying the shark machine and standing quietly in place for a long, long time.

It wasn't until a long time later that the tall man with the shark machine moved to leave the battlefield created by the recovery of the tailed beast.

And at this time, Ning Ci's figure had already appeared on the border of the country of Taki.
