Woohoo!

Otsugi Dora kept jumping through the forest, chasing the path of the shuriken from which it had been.

The other party also seems to be aware of Otsuki Taraku's pursuit, so when Toraku reaches that location, the figure has disappeared.

And the ninja sword seven people in the back were looking at their own people with a confused expression.

"Are we alright?"

"He doesn't care about us anymore?"

"Or, run?" Kurizan Kushimaru said tentatively.

"Let's go!"

Hitting it off, the seven ninja swords quickly fled away, heading in the direction of Fog Hidden Village.

……

Because he couldn't find anyone, the big barrel wood Duole here fully opened the perception ability of the immortal's human body, searching for the faint remnants of chakra breath left by the other party when he left.

Northwest, 2000 meters!

Otsuki Duole was at full speed, tightly locking on the other party's chakra, and after the two ran and chased for a while, they came to the Valley of the End.

A man in a black robe and a mask was standing by the river in the Valley of the End, staring at the sculptures on either side, ignoring the arrival of Otsuki Toraku.

Otsuki Duole stood next to him and looked at the mysterious man, his entire figure was obscured, without revealing a trace of identity information, and then his eyes also looked at the sculptures on both sides.

"You are very strong, at your age, in my lifetime, except for a few people who can compare with you, there is no one else, especially now."

The mysterious man looked at the sculpture between the Thousand Hands Pillars, and said to the big barrel wood Duole without looking back.

His voice was hoarse as if sand had been in his throat, and there was a hint of exclamation in his words.

"Thanks for the compliment, but if you want to praise me for a word or two and I'm going to let you go, it's impossible."

The mysterious man couldn't deny: "I don't plan on letting you let me go, I just want to talk to you one last time, what should I do after the conversation." ”

"You say."

"What would you do if Konoha Village was in danger?"

"Of course I will do everything to protect Konoha Village." Otsuki Duole said without hesitation.

"Why?"

The mysterious man said leisurely: "You must know that you have tried your best to save Konoha Village, but you may lose your life because of this; Besides, as far as I know, some people in the village are very tired of what you are doing, a person who is obviously not of the Uchiha clan, but has a three-hooked jade writing wheel eye that is difficult for the Uchiha clan to open. ”

"But if I don't have the support of the village, then what am I alone?"

"In times of crisis, if everyone retreats, then the village will perish, the village will die, and we, the ninjas who rely on the village to survive, will also lose shelter, and the end will only be miserable." ”

"Moreover, although some people in the village hate me, and some people try to kill me, there are also people who use their own methods to protect me and give me a safe environment to grow up."

"In the end, there are only a few people in the village who don't love me, but there are many people who love me, and in the village, I also have a lot of people who want to protect and give them love, as long as they need me, then I will try my best to give them the love they need."

"Therefore, I am willing to exchange my life for the future of those I care about."

When the mysterious man heard this, his eyes were a little stunned, and he finally withdrew his gaze from the sculpture and looked at the boy next to him.

He didn't expect to hear such words, he didn't expect that Otsuki Duole, the boy in front of him, who was only more than 10 years old, would think so thoroughly and be so righteous.

"You've been thinking about this for a long time?" The mysterious man asked suddenly.

Otsuki Taraku nodded: "Well, Tsunade-sensei asked me about this, and my brother Otsuki Ichiraku also told me, and I've been thinking about it ever since." ”

"It turned out to be the guide of Tsunade and Ichiraku..."

The mysterious man thought he had come to the right conclusion, and although he couldn't see the expression under his mask, Otsuki Duole still felt a look of relief on the other party's face.

"Good boy."

He reached out to touch Otsuki Taraku's head, but after a few moments of hesitation, he stopped the thought, then jumped over the Valley of the End and turned to look at the entire Konoha area.

Otsuki Duole also followed.

At night, the forest is silent, and the moonlight shines on the waterfall, making the whole river very bright.

Not far away, Konoha Village, under the soft moonlight, was dressed in a bright silver-white coat.

The mysterious man and Otsuki Dorku stood side by side, looking at the beautiful scenery.

"In order to protect the peace of the Fire Country, in order to protect the beauty of the present, many ninjas have been fighting on the front line..."

"And some people always think about their own interests, the interests of their families, and don't care about the safety of the village."

Otsuki Duole glanced at him, not knowing why he suddenly said this.

"Do you know why the Rain Nation has become a battlefield in the war between the Three Kingdoms?" The mysterious man asked suddenly.

Is this a policy discussion after the political review is passed?

At this time, Otsuki Duole had already guessed who the other party was, but since the other party didn't speak, he didn't bother to reveal his identity.

"Is it because the Land of Rain is too weak, so it will be bullied?"

Otsuki Duole puts aside his thoughts and asks questions to give the mysterious man a space to inspire himself.

"Then think about it, why does the Land of Rain still exist if it is so weak?" Sure enough, the mysterious man reminded.

Otsuki Duole pretended to ponder for a while before he said, "Is it because there is a need for a buffer between the big powers?" ”

The mysterious man nodded happily: "Yes, what else did you think of?" ”

Otsuki Duole thought seriously for a while before he said: "When there are two options in front of us, fighting in one's own country and fighting in other countries, everyone will choose the latter.

In this way, even if the military ninja suffered heavy battle damage, the production and other facilities in the territory of the great country were not irreparably damaged.

As a result, the war can last longer, and after the war, the great powers and the Great Ninja Village can quickly recover. ”

After a pause, he concluded: "So, no matter what the reason for provoking a war, the main battlefield has always been on such a buffer zone, that is, in the territory of small countries, and they are often the biggest victims of war. ”

Otsuki Duole listened to his argument and was silent for a long time.

"In two days, you should also go to the battlefield, ...... with your friends"

"Future ......"

"It's no longer part of our generation, you're the future."

"Future ......"

"Yours ......"

"Come on."

"Otsuki Dorku......"
