The rain buried a lot of rust-colored blood.

Muddy graves, one after the other.

The memorial monument standing next to the grave has no less than 200 names inscribed.

At the grave, hundreds of people in the same uniform observed a moment of silence in the rain for their companions.

They were dressed in black trench coats, and they weren't very old overall.

The three leading ones were even only eleven or twelve years old.

Xiao Nan didn't wear a hat, she looked up at the gloomy sky, without expression.

The long gray-blue hair was draped behind him, and he just used a kunai hairpin to pull it casually.

Today, she finally understands what Brother Yuya said to her back then.

If dreams involve others, there will always be people who lose their dreams because of their own dreams.

Since she founded the organization and united the lower classes, it has not been smooth sailing.

There are even those who are themselves from the lower classes, but they are on the side of the aristocratic class, disgusted with them, and obstruct them in every way.

Those people died more or less because of her actions.

They have lost their dream of maintaining the status quo.

Xiao Nan had dreamed of their resentful and grief-stricken eyes many times, and he couldn't let go of them for a long time.

Now, more than two years later, she has learned to numb herself appropriately.

She was able to look them into their dead eyes.

But she didn't expect that people who lost their dreams because of their dreams were not just enemies.

There are also like-minded partners.

The people buried here are the same people who have died since their actions.

They have also lost their dreams and lost the opportunity to see the light of day.

But Xiao Nan hadn't learned to look into their dead eyes yet.

The corpses were buried in the muddy grave, but they were pressed against her shoulders.

"In the end, I still can't be ashamed......"

Xiao Nan was not a perfect saint, and she felt that many of her dead companions had died because she was not decisive enough in her decision-making, or not clever enough.

While they are growing at a rapid pace, organizations are growing at a rapid pace and are about to undergo a metamorphosis.

But at what cost?

The price is the corpses buried here.

And many more, because of them, the corpses that died in the streets, died in the wilderness and were taken away by wild dogs.

"Xiao Nan ......"

Nagato quietly pulled the corner of Xiao Nanyi, "It's time to go." ”

Xiao Nan nodded, hiding his sadness and exhaustion.

She is the leader of the Order, and it is okay to mourn the loss of her companions, but not to show too much vulnerability.

Although there are sacrifices, she needs to show everyone with actions that this is a victory.

"Let's go back."

Xiao Nan took another look at the memorial monument and left with everyone.

They still live outside the city, in villages and caves.

In fact, they are not as poor as they were back then, and they have the support of most of the bottom of the entire Rain Country, including the support of some merchants, which is enough for them to live a good life with only a hundred or so backbone members.

But they still choose their original way of life.

The money saved still chooses to fund the hard-working people who can be seen everywhere.

The slight difference is that they are no longer all mixed together.

Konan, Yahiko and Nagato, as the three founders, are separated from the upper and middle levels.

It's not because they already have a class, but because the country of rain and the rain hidden village continue to infiltrate spies, and they can only use this most primitive way to block the core information.

Yahiko led the fire and leaned on the stone wall of the cave and breathed a sigh of relief, after several years, he has been completely convinced by Xiao Nan, and no longer wants to be the leader, but does his own thing steadfastly.

Yahiko looked at the absent-minded Xiao Nan and encouraged with a smile: "Our days, everyone's days, are much better than a few years ago, even the dead companions don't want to see you so stressed." ”

Xiao Nan has now confirmed the name of [Angel].

Most of the reasons for this are that she will always grieve the loss of even one of her companions.

In Yahiko's opinion, this is Konan's strength, but it is also a disadvantage as a leader.

Yahiko stood up and took a stone and drew on the ground: "Now from west to east, most of the regions have members of the [Agricultural Society] who respond to us, and the trade route from south to northwest is only three cities behind, this achievement is proud enough. ”

Nagato hugged his knees and added, "What about after the three cities are over?" ”

Yahiko threw the stone: "After it's over, it's going up." ”

"Unite us in the dark line of the business district and launch an impact on the aristocratic class, even if Yuyin Village suppresses us at that time, as long as we are not completely extinguished, then this fire can continue to burn until the Daimyo's mansion."

Nagato was pleasantly surprised: "Then wouldn't we be able to change the entire Rain Country soon?" ”

At this time, Xiao Nan shook his head: "You can't act rashly now." ”

"Not to mention whether the territory of the Rain Country can withstand the pressure of Yuyin Village, the most important thing now is the threat from abroad."

"Don't forget that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation has sent several teams in quick succession to find us. His sense of smell is the most sensitive, but if we overthrow the nobles now, then the surrounding countries, whether they are the country of wind or the country of earth, will come back to their senses and take the lead in solving us. ”

Nagato worried, "Then ...... of our previous work"

Xiao Nandao: "These are necessary prerequisites. We use the peasant and labor cooperatives to unite them, to fight for their welfare, to administer justice for them, to seek a way for them to survive, whether they accept the ideas we have propagated or not, and now they have begun to dislike the aristocracy in their behavior, and have begun to see that there is another way to go. ”

"What we need now is to stabilize them, and then, learn from them."

Yahiko took over curiously: "I understand to stabilize them, what is the scriptures?" ”

Xiao Nan finally had a smile on his face: "Don't forget who is making suggestions for our current work, now that we have achieved the basic conditions, it will be beyond our ability in the future, so next-"

Yahiko immediately jumped up when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Xiao Nan, you mean, go find that man?" ”

After a few years of getting along, Yahiko and Nagato have long known that there was a man behind Xiao Nan.

The kunai she never wanted to take off was given by that man.

Then, when they officially began to mobilize the bottom, they saw the man's letters with their own eyes and learned his name.

Originally, they were just curious, but after the successive successes of the mobilization operation, they began to understand Xiao Nan's worship of that man.

Yahiko and Nagato also began to deliberately pay attention to the information of the Uchiha Oya.

As a result, they were shocked by the information.

During the war, he assassinated three generations of Kazekage in front of Shayin Village, and after the war, he caused the Eight-Tails Rebellion in Yunyin Village.

Two years ago, he betrayed Konoha and judged the high-level, and finally made the three generations of Hokage have to abdicate.

Compared to the Uchiha Miya's record, they are a little bit of a fight here.

Not surprisingly, the two adored the man they had never met.

Even after rebelling against the village in the night, I hope that Xiao Nan can persuade him to come to the Land of Rain.

Although it didn't work out, it didn't stop them from wanting to meet their idols.

At this time, listen to what Xiao Nan means, this is finally-

In the expectant eyes of the two, Xiao Nan smiled and nodded.

"In fact, Brother Yuye wrote a letter last month, so let's not act rashly."

"Now that our development is reaching a bottleneck, it is best to talk to my brother in detail."

The two teenagers jumped up excitedly, high-fived and cheered.

"The legend of the Uchiha who can kill the shadow, I really want to see what it looks like."

"Superficial, what about me, I want to ask for ninjutsu, it is said that Lord Yuya is very good at ninjutsu!"

The two teenagers looked even more excited than Xiao Nan, and excitedly discussed what to do when they met.

I barely slept all night, and the next morning, Xiao Nan told the others that he would leave for a while.

But after they explained their work, Nagato was stopped.

Stopping Nagato was a man wearing a whirlpool mask, named Ah Fei.

The personality is lively and cheerful, and he loves to be funny, but he is strong.

Already one of the important members of their small organization.

"Ah, Lord Xiaonan, if you all leave, what if something happens to us......"

Ah Fei scratched his head comically: "We can't beat that group of madmen in Yuyin Village, we have to leave the strongest person behind, right?" ”

Ah Fei said the strongest words, but his eyes looked directly at Nagato.

Yahiko clenched his fists on the side, much like giving this guy a fried chestnut, but it was just thinking about it.

Although he was a little unconvinced, if he wanted to talk about the strength of the three of them, Xiao Nan couldn't beat him, Nagato ...... Normally, it's fine, but if it breaks out, he and Xiao Nan are not opponents.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest.

Ah Fei's words have been recognized by many people.

After all, they didn't know what the three of them were going to do, but there was someone here to settle down.

Nagato's original excitement gradually calmed down, and when he saw Xiao Nan in embarrassment, he forced a smile and said, "Ah Fei, what they said is the same, why don't you go first?" ”

Although he also wants to see idols, the organization is everyone's hard work, and the organization must be the priority.

……

In the end, only Konan and Yahiko set off.

Because Nagato didn't get his wish, the two of them were also depressed for the most part.

Yahiko hugged his arms, and still felt uncomfortable in retrospect: "Do you think that Ah Fei is weird?" He seemed to be paying special attention to Nagato. Normally, if there was danger, he would like to go and block Nagato's gun himself. ”

It was because of Ah Fei that they didn't doubt Ah Fei's loyalty.

Xiao Nan also felt strange, but thought about it: "After all, it is the son of the prophecy that the teacher said, probably this is the embodiment of one aspect?" ”

Yahiko pursed her lips, and the reason seemed to be reasonable.

In the end, the two stopped being entangled and quietly left the Land of Rain.

Yahiko Mimihu followed Xiao Nan, and after a few twists and turns, he gradually realized: "Lord Yuye is in the Iron Country? ”

Xiao Nan nodded, and found an ordinary hotel in the town of Tanokuni at night.

Xiao Nan said to the vigilant proprietress and said, "I want a ticket to the new world." ”

Yahiko listened to the lake next to him, and this neighborhood is not near the sea.

The hostess relaxed a little: "What boat?" ”

Xiao Nan coped with it easily: "Ark." ”

The proprietress finally smiled, and took out an iron piece engraved with a symbol similar to a group fan from under the counter: "Thirty miles to the east, at the border Xichuan River ferry, someone will come to pick you up." ”

Xiao Nan took the token, thanked him and left directly.

Xiao Nan and Yahiko traveled quickly, and arrived at the ferry in less than half an hour.

There was no one at the ferry crossing, and the two of them lit a fire and had a dinner.

It wasn't until it was almost dark and the river was foggy that a boat finally came.

The two watched the ship vigilantly, and when Xiao Nan noticed the iron piece hanging from the bow of the boat, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's Brother Miya's people who are here.

"Oh? Fresh faces. ”

When the boat approached, I saw a little girl about seven years old standing at the bow of the boat.

The little girl had a delicate face, short white hair, and healthy wheat skin, and waved her hand kindly when she saw the two.

At the same time, the little girl looked at Xiao Nan and seemed to recognize: "Land of Rain, Sister Xiao Nan, right?" ”

Xiao Nan nodded, a little curious.

Her password indicates that her identity is relatively intimate, so it is not surprising that the person who came to greet her in person knows her, but she did not expect it to be such a young child.

The little girl beckoned them to the boat: "Then this is Yahiko?" Well, you can call me Mabuyi. ”

Xiao Nan responded obediently, but didn't ask much else.

Although Brother Yuye has a good relationship with her, they are two forces after all.

Inquire more, in case it will be embarrassing to ask sensitive questions.

Azabuyi is familiar with herself, and enthusiastically asks about the past of Xiao Nan and Teacher Yuya.

As the ship continued to drift eastward, the two girls began to talk more and more frequently.

Around night, the ship drifted through the land of the land and flowed into the territory of the iron country.

The ship continued on its way for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to a remote location in the Iron Country near the southeast corner at night.

The shadow of an island gradually appeared in the mist.

The islands are elongated in shape, with intermittent sinuous islands outlining dragon-like shapes.

Human-made structures outside the island that look like dragon claws.

The largest dragon-like island is brightly lit, like a dragon's head spitting open flames at night.

Suddenly the fairyland of the world, the island of the world.

The beautiful picture made Xiao Nan and Yahiko stunned for a while.

Ma Buyi stood up and said with a smile and pride: "Welcome, Xianyin Island!" ”

In the surprised eyes of the two, Azabui continued:

"There are four main natural islands in Xianyin Island: the dragon head, the dragon body, the dragon tail, and the dragon ball."

"Longshou Island is where Xianyin Village is located, and in the future, it will be the place where Teacher Yuye and others will work and live."

"Longshen Island is a school, a business district, and a residential area."

"Longwei is home to hospitals, welfare homes, and various companies."

"Dragon Ball is on the other side, an isolated island, which is our training ground, our training area."

"Further north, the riverbank is our future industrial area."

Xiao Nan was surprised: "Is it already so perfect?" ”

Ma Buyi scratched his face in embarrassment: "Cough, these... These are plans for the future. ”

They had just finished their trip to the Iron Country, and it had only been a week since they moved here.

The reason why Longshou Island is brightly lit is because the first batch of houses has not yet been built, and the construction team is working overtime overnight......
