The country of ghosts, it's a fenced construction site.

"Vientiane Tianyin!"

Stone bricks fly in the air, neatly stacked on four-wheeled vehicles under the magical gravitational manipulation.

Such a miraculous scene attracted a large number of workers' exclamations and applause.

Facing the admiration of the people around him, Nagato was slightly ashamed.

Because he used the important ninjutsu used in combat on the work on the construction site, he always felt that the ninjutsu he had worked hard to practice was suspected of being wasted.

Although the eyes of the surrounding workers were all kind, and they didn't think there was anything strange about ninjas using ninjutsu to help transport stone bricks, Nagato hadn't gotten used to the rhythm here, so he naturally couldn't empathize.

But when I pinched the flyer in my hand, I suppressed this shame for the time being.

——Honest recruitment of brick movers, ninjas are preferred. Three meals are free during work, and the daily salary is 10,000 taels.

After several days of trekking, he and Konan arrived in the country of ghosts, a country far away from the land of rain, a special country that enjoys the status of a neutral country among the ninja world.

In this country, you can see the culture of shrines and shrine maidens everywhere, and the strong atmosphere of mysticism makes Nagato enjoy the exotic scenery for a while.

But this appreciation can't last long after all, because he and Xiao Nan came to this country with an extremely important task.

The largest chamber of commerce in the country of ghosts is the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce named after the national capital Ziyuan City, and their target this time, Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Technology Company, is also affiliated with this Chamber of Commerce.

It is a large group of chambers of commerce spanning many countries.

Internationally, they are prestigious.

It is said that when the Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Technology Company was initially established, it was also indispensable for the publicity and promotion of this chamber of commerce.

In short, in terms of the degree of convergence of money, it is the existence that Xiao needs to look up to.

Konan is in charge of the supply of medicines, while Nagato wanders around Shion City alone and stumbles upon a temporary job.

Unlike the people of the Land of Rain, the people of the Land of Oni have a full face and an optimistic attitude towards life, which is incomparable to that of the Land of Rain, which is poor and hard-hit.

This made Nagato envious.

But it is also known that this is the special right of a neutral country, and it brings all kinds of advantages and benefits.

With the geography of the Land of Rain, it is impossible to become a neutral country.

As soon as a great power starts a war, the country of rain is the first to bear the brunt.

With the economy collapsing, the people displaced, starving, and domestic politics corrupting, it is not an exaggeration to say that the daimyo and many nobles have been reduced to puppets of the great powers.

Even so, the people of the Land of Rain have never been defeated, and in the midst of danger after crisis, there will always be people who stand up and set an example for the people of the Land of Rain who are suffering.

As soon as he thought of this, Nagato's heart was filled with the strength to fight.

As Chakra's output increased, more stone bricks flew towards the four-wheeled transporter under the control of his ninjutsu 'Vientiane Heavenly Introduction', and were neatly placed for the workers in charge of transporting them to push away.

Until dusk in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, the person in charge of the construction site asked everyone to stop working and began to settle today's salary.

Nagato took the salary he had received at the construction site in his hand and found that it was not the 10,000 taels written on the flyer, but a full 50,000 taels.

"That'...... seems to be too much."

Nagato was about to return the extra 40,000 taels, but the person in charge of the construction site stopped him and smiled: "Take it, boy, you alone can do the workload that dozens of people may not be able to complete, and the extra 40,000 taels is an additional reward." ”

If Nagato doesn't take the money, he will feel uneasy.

Thanks to Nagato's blessings, tomorrow's work was completed ahead of schedule.

“…… Thank you. ”

Nagato is not a man who likes to talk a lot, but he is very sensitive to people's kindness and malice.

He could feel the warmth and sincerity of the people here, and there was a huge difference between them and the people of the Rain Country, who were in need of alms.

Holding 50,000 taels, Nagato felt a heavy satisfaction in his hands.

In the memory of his life, he had never taken such a large amount of money.

Thinking that Xiao Nan had a debt of 10 million taels to repay in Ziyuan Flower Pharmaceutical Company, that is to say, he only needed to work on the construction site for 200 days, and he could almost pay off that part of the debt for Xiao Nan.

Is this the power of the eye of reincarnation? Nagato looked at his hands and sighed in his heart.

He had never found out before that the pupil power of the reincarnation eye could make money so easily.

It's just that ninjas are recruited to work on the construction site, and the country of ghosts is also a strange country.

Nagato thinks so.

In his old consciousness, ninjas existed as tools of battle, and even if it was Akatsuki, most of the work was related to combat.

Eradicating the bandits in the Land of Rain, as well as dealing with the wandering ninjas who are doing sabotage in the Land of Rain, are the main targets of Akatsuki's cleanup.

Not to mention the ninja village institutions of the five major powers, a more complete mission system has been formed, representing the military power of a country, thus determining its status in the ninja world.

When working on the construction site before, Nagato found no less than a dozen people who were ninja professions, and according to their conversations, they seemed to be special workers who were stationed here, and the characteristics of ninjutsu were also very suitable for the various complex jobs on the construction site, and it was said that they were specially trained special workers.

This made Nagato wonder, it was not impossible for ninjas to do some ordinary work, but it was only a temporary job, and the main job was still focused on combat.

A country like Oni no Kuni, which specializes in cultivating this type of special type of ninja, is the first time Nagato has seen it, and it is inevitable that he will have a novel experience.

"Nagato, where have you been? I've been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

Gathering at the door of a hotel in Ziyuan City, Nagato was late, and Xiao Nan said very complainingly.

"I'm sorry, but the city is so prosperous, it's a little carried away for a while."

Nagato scratched his head and apologized to Konan.

"Really, we're not here for tourism."

"What about the purchase of drugs?"

Nagato asked about the purchase of the drug.

"I have purchased all the money, and sure enough, the price of medicine in this country is much cheaper than in other places, and I have saved a lot of money than expected."

Xiao Nan seemed to be very satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the long journey was a little harder, it was really the right choice to be able to buy such a large number of complete medicines, and even have some funds left, so it was really the right choice to come to the country of ghosts this time.

"That's great."

"We know that we have always had a lot of money for the event, and now we can finally save some of it for a rainy day."

Looking at Xiao Nan's innocent and happy appearance, Nagato's heart was slightly touched.

- At any time, it is enough for you to protect this smile and everyone's dreams.

He swore silently in his heart.

The heavier the burden on his shoulders, the more Nagato was able to feel the conviction in his heart to yearn for peace and eliminate war.

"Xiao Nan ......"

"What's wrong, Nagato?"

Hearing Nagato call his name, Xiao Nan looked up at him suspiciously.

"No, nothing. I'm thinking that we will have a lot of success this time, and Yahiko and everyone will be very happy. ”

Of course they were happy, after all, there was so much money left this time. However, Yahiko should go to negotiate with the ninjas of Konoha with Sunaga, so it shouldn't be anything......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Nan's face showed obvious worry.

Those are the ninjas of the five major countries, and they are fundamentally different from the ninjas of their small countries.

Whether it's Konoha or Shayin, it's not a behemoth they can provoke.

"At the beginning, even His Excellency Hanzo had to compromise with Konoha ......"

The leader of Rain Hidden Village, Sanshoyu Hanzo, is a legendary ninja with a reputation in the Land of Rain.

Even he compromised on the battle situation because of Konoha's strength, and the Akatsuki organization, which seemed insignificant in the territory of the Land of Rain, could not reverse the will of those great ninjas.

Xiao Nan suddenly felt that it was a very risky act for Yahiko to go to Sand Hide and negotiate with the ninja of Konoha.

"Yahiko will definitely succeed! Even if we fail this time, there will be a next time, as long as we are still fighting, Xiao's will will be passed down from generation to generation, and sooner or later, it will bring true peace. ”

Nagato's eyes were determined.

Xiao Nan also nodded, if even they admitted defeat, they would really have no shame to see their past selves.

"Then let's hurry back to the Land of Rain. That's our home field. ”

◎

Loulan, in the quiet room where the dragon vein sealing device is stored.

From the closed eye device, a purple light seeped out, which was the color of the dragon vein chakra, which was different from the normal chakra color.

Ruri appeared here alone, staring at the sealing device of the dragon vein, as if thinking about something.

"You don't have any thoughts about the remaining half of the dragon vein power, do you?"

Ayane appeared at the door of the quiet room, eating the freshly hot pancake in her hand, and walked in and asked Ruri curiously.

"I just think things are a little weird."

"Strange? What's so strange? ”

Ayane wasn't quite sure what Ruri was alluding to.

Dealing with the space-time disturbers who arrived here from another time and space, secretly solved the crisis in Loulan, took away half of the core of the dragon vein, made the power of the dragon vein incomplete, and forbade people from other time and space to use the power of the dragon vein to come to this time and space to make trouble.

As Shiraishi said, they can't control the affairs of other planes, but the order of the planes they live in cannot be disturbed.

"The dragon vein is the natural energy of the earth with the help of the earth, unless the natural energy of the earth is depleted, theoretically even if half of the core is taken away now, it will only make the dragon vein weak for a while. After a decade or even a few decades, it may recover again and once again have the power to make people travel between the future and the past. ”

Ruri's words slowed down Ayane's action of eating pancakes, and she also showed a look of thought.

After Liuli's reminder, the truth of the matter is indeed a bit weird.

"Maybe it was a sudden, he was a little inconsiderate, so he was a little negligent, right?"

Ayane tilted her head.

"Negligence? I really can't imagine a man like him making such a low-level mistake. ”

Ruri had a sneer on her face, disagreeing with Ayane's opinion.

Ayane glared at Ruri dissatisfied, always feeling that this woman with a wheel-eyed eye seemed to have mastered a big secret that could not be told to her, but she was kept in the dark.

"What would you do if you knew that there was a power in the world that could travel through time and space?"

Liuli didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Hmm...... I guess when I encounter some inextricable setback, I will use this power to return to a time when things still have room to maneuver. After all, it's such a convenient power, and it's a waste not to use it like this. ”

Ayane pondered for a moment and answered Ruri's question.

Most people think this way, or there have been times when they regret something, and they want to go back in time and change the history that has happened.

Ayane also regrets things that she wants to undo, even though she knows that it is history that has already happened, but if she can't bear that pressure one day, she may use this power to go back in time and change something.

"So what if you go back in time and still fail?"

"Continue to return to the time and space where there is no failure, if there is still failure, then continue to reverse the time and space, keep repeating this failure process, if you encounter the past self to hinder you, maybe you may even kill her......"

Thinking about it along Ruri's train of thought, Ayane shuddered a little, and the action of eating pancakes completely stiffened.

She didn't take that into account at all.

It was only then that she realized how terrifying and terrifying the power of the dragon veins was to travel through time and space.

Compared with this, the resurrection of the dead, which is contrary to the laws of nature, is nothing more than that.

"Then Shiraishi-kun, he is ......"

Ayane's tone trembled slightly.

"I'm afraid that there is also a reason why I am afraid that I will become such a person, so I deliberately sealed that memory."

Ruri thinks so.

Otherwise, Shiraishi would not have asked the living slug to come to the land of ghosts, write the past, and pass on the true history to the human collective.

"Whether it is the history that will happen in the future, or the history that has already happened in the past, it is the history that has already happened, and it is the history of real existence. If at that time, he used the power of the dragon vein to travel through time and space for his own benefit, he would become the person he once hated and despised the most. ”

Ayane fell silent.

Thinking of the plan that Shiraishi planned to arrange in the country of ghosts, although he couldn't get a glimpse of all of them, he also knew that it was definitely a earth-shaking change that subverted the perception of the past.

No one can guarantee that such a huge plan will succeed until it reaches the end.

In case of failure, you can't help but use the power of the dragon vein to return to the time and space before the defeat.

Then when you encounter yourself who have not changed your beliefs in the past, a life-and-death struggle is inevitable.

You may fall into a sad cycle of failure and repetition, and it is better not to know anything at first than to become the kind of image that makes you feel disgusted.

"Honestly, I kind of regret backing up that memory of the future."

Ruri sighed, this is probably a real feeling that ignorance is happiness.

"It's done, it's done, I'm not going to erase that part of it."

Ayane was a little sullen.

"But maybe this kind of thing is also expected by him."

Liuli said coldly.

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Ayane was stunned.

"It's really a fake show, but it's his forte."

Liuli didn't explain too much, but checked the seal of the dragon vein device, and the bright red three-hooked jade writing wheel eye appeared.

"Solution!"

The sealing type on the ground was immediately covered with a new spell, covering the original sealing technique.

"The composition of this sealing technique is ......"

After reading it, Liuli paused for a moment and continued:

"It's worthy of his handwriting, and things are really done without leakage."

Ayane also came over to look at the seal that covered the top layer, revealing a stunned expression.

She didn't expect that the sealing technique that Baishi sealed the dragon vein would be this sealing technique.

This also means that all of Liuli's guesses just now are likely to be correct.

◎

An Lushan, the minister of Loulan, kidnapped the people of Loulan without permission and built a puppet weapons factory under the city.

Although Queen Loulan didn't want to believe the scene in front of her, the person who was kidnapped to the city's underground weapons factory was the civilian who disappeared in Loulan a while ago.

Each of them was abused to be scrawny and in tatters, and after An Lushan's disappearance, the puppet soldiers lost their ability to control and stop before they were able to escape from the underground factory and report the crimes of the minister, An Lushan.

After verification, Queen Loulan had to believe that An Lushan, the minister who was loyal to her, was a criminal with bad intentions against Loulan.

On the same day, Queen Loulan ordered to search for An Lushan's figure in the whole territory of Loulan, and he must be caught and given an explanation to the people.

After handing over this task to the soldiers, Queen Loulan went to the ashram where the dragon veins were sealed and carefully checked the seals here.

Those puppet soldiers, after the abducted people stated, An Lushan used her trust to wantonly use the dragon vein chakra here to create a large number of puppet soldiers, trying to control Loulan, and may even start a war with the outside world, plunging Loulan into a place of no return.

Just thinking of this, Queen Loulan trembled with fear in her heart.

After checking in the quiet room for a while, Queen Loulan found that the sealing device of the dragon vein was intact, so she planned to further check the situation of the dragon vein.

“！？”

The queen had a look of surprise on her face.

The deeper dragon vein core cannot be contacted.

You must know that each generation of queens of Loulan has a special power to connect with the dragon vein, and can contact the core of the dragon vein, which is the most important source of power to form the dragon vein.

Suddenly, the sealing spell on the ground lit up, and Queen Loulan was so frightened that she took a step back.

On top of the original sealing spell, the new sealing spell was immediately overwritten, and it was also connected to the dragon vein.

"It's ...... An Lushan, that guy! ”

Queen Loulan's first thought of An Lushan, who had not yet been caught, and the other party must have wanted to possess the power of the dragon vein privately, so she set up a new sealing technique here, so that her connection with the dragon vein was not as good as before.

Although he was still able to control the Dragon Vein Chakra and let the Dragon Chakra give Loulan a large amount of energy, the connection with the Dragon Vein Core was covered by a new sealing technique, thus cutting it off.

And she could feel that the power of the dragon vein was only half of the original, and it was a little less.

Except for An Lushan, Queen Loulan couldn't think of anyone else who could easily approach this place and tamper with the techniques here at will to steal the power of the dragon vein.

"Her Majesty."

Back at the palace, the guards came in to report.

"How is it, has An Lushan been caught?"

There is still half of the dragon vein power that has been taken away on An Lushan's body, which is worthy of Queen Loulan's attention.

"I beg your pardon, Her Majesty. An Lushan is now nowhere to be found, and he has searched every corner of Loulan without finding any trace of him. ”

The guard replied.

Queen Loulan sighed.

It's been so long, and An Lushan hasn't been caught yet, so he must have fled from Loulan's territory at this moment and hid somewhere else.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache.

I really want to recover half of the dragon vein power, but Loulan can only be self-sufficient and has no influence in the world.

It is obviously impossible to use the power of those big powers to hunt down An Lushan.

◎

A few days later.

Returning to Shiraishi in the Land of Ghosts from Loulan, he discusses the handling of dragon veins with the clone of the living slugs in a laboratory.

"Lord Shiraishi, this doesn't seem to be a complete dragon vein."

The living slug took a closer look at the dragon vein core that Bai Shi took out, and at a glance saw through the essence of this core that was not a complete dragon vein power.

"Yes, this is half a dragon vein core. Because the city of Loulan is built on dragon veins, half of the core must be left behind to prevent the city from collapsing. ”

"Is that so? Since Loulan and the dragon vein are connected, they really can't act rashly. ”

Based on this consideration, Shiraishi made this decision, and the live slug was not surprised, but took it for granted.

"How's that, live slug, do you have any suggestions?"

Shiraishi asks for advice from the live slugs.

The live slug pondered for a moment and answered Shiraishi's question:

"Although it is the core, the core itself is just a container that can hold the chakra. Lord Shiraishi, please allow me to take this half of the dragon vein core back to the Wet Bone Forest to cultivate it for a while, and store enough chakras. ”

Live slugs give a point-to-the-point evaluation.

The loss of chakras in this half of the core is already quite serious, and the chakras that can be used are not enough to meet the expectations that it and Shiraishi expected.

In order for the container to exert its due abilities and effects, it is necessary to refill it with chakra and exert the original power of the dragon vein.

Judging from the upper limit of the reserves of half of the dragon vein core, it is enough to compete with the chakra of the tailed beast level.

"However, I didn't expect the power of the dragon vein to be so much weaker than when I saw it before. The dragon vein under Loulan may be abandoned in another hundred years. ”

Bai Shi couldn't understand how powerful the dragon vein was in the mouth of the living slug in the past, but the power of the current dragon vein was enough for him to squander it wantonly.

"That's all for the dragon vein, I'm not in a hurry to use it for the time being. Next, it's time to deal with the internal affairs of the Oni Country. By the way, live slugs, how's the work of the historical record? ”

Shiraishi asked with interest.

This time, he went to Loulan to ask for the power of the dragon vein, and the clone of the living slug stayed in the country of ghosts, and wrote down the historical records of his past experiences in a book, word by word.

Naturally, the historians in charge of recording are Shiraishi's trusted historians, and they are in charge of historical research.

"Hmm...... Because of the amount of information, there are some things that I don't remember very well, but I have asked those historians to record the major events and some important secrets. There's something incredible going on here, and I think you'd better be prepared before watching it, Lord Shiraishi. ”

The live slug kindly reminded Shiraishi that when watching this part of history, it is necessary to be mentally prepared.

It knows how appalling and shocking the history of the past world has been for the people of this era.

"Don't worry, I've been through the wind and waves all the way. No matter what kind of history it is, I won't complain and be shocked. ”

Shiraishi replied to the live slug with a serious expression, saying that he was mentally prepared.

When the slug heard Shiraishi say this, he led the way in front of him, took him to the next room, and began to read the historical epic that had been forgotten by the people of this era for thousands of years.
