The hospital in the sand is not far from Iwasakyu's house, and the last time Kaoru Ishigaki dared to come to see a doctor at night, in addition to the protection of Iwasakyu, there was also a reason that it was not far away.

On the way, Xiao Nan was a little worried: "You didn't bring a puppet, what if something happens along the way?" ”

"As long as it lasts for a while, there will be rescue, trust the other ninjas in the village." Xie Mao said not too worriedly.

Staying in the village is already the safest place, whether it is acquaintances or strangers, try to be on guard, and it will not be too much of a problem if you don't give others a chance to sneak attack.

With Xie Mao's current strength, even if there is no puppet, it is not something that others can easily assassinate in the village, so Xie Mao is quite calm and not much afraid.

"Really?" Xiao Nan pursed his lips, not quite convinced, "The village is very dangerous these days, your friend has also been kidnapped and you have been seriously injured, and the ninja village in the big country doesn't seem to be very safe." ”

Xiao Nan had always thought that only a small country with insufficient force like the Land of Rain would be very chaotic, and a big country should be peaceful and happy, but now it didn't take long for the Land of Wind to break this impression.

Although the Land of the Wind is not chaotic, and Sand Hidden Village is far more prosperous than the town she used to live in, it is really not particularly stable, and it is a bit of a light death.

Xie Mao heard what Xiao Nan meant, his heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Why is Shayin Village, as the ninja village of the Land of Wind, so unpeaceful?" ”

Xiao Nan, who was holding the basket, glanced at Xie Mao, revealing an expression of "you ask me".

"To put it another way, where do you think there is true tranquility in the ninja world?" Xie Mao asked again.

This question was something Xiao Nan had thought about before, and she was not quite sure: "Fire Country? ”

"The Fire Country with Konoha Hidden Village is indeed the most powerful country in the ninja world, but that doesn't mean that the Fire Country is peaceful and peaceful."

Xie Mao glanced in the direction of the east, as if looking at the most prosperous Konoha Hidden Village: "You know the god of ninjas, the Thousand Hands Pillar, right?" ”

"Well, since... Laiya told us that he was a heroic ancestor whom he admired. ”

Xiao Nan's historical knowledge is very scarce, but because of Jiraiya's teaching, he is no stranger to characters like the Thousand Hands Pillar, and she said with some admiration: "It was he who built the current Ninja Village, so that the originally hostile Thousand Hands Family and the Uchiha Family shook hands and made peace, and from the construction of the Ninja Village to his death, the ninja world has maintained peace." ”

"After that, it's just a brief peace, isn't it?"

"Although you're right, the first Hokage is still very powerful, and no one else can do it."

"Then do you think it's the ninja village system established between the Thousand Hands Pillar that keeps the peace, or is it his own super-sized strength?"

Xiao Nan was stunned, she had never thought about such a question before, she only felt that the first generation of Hokage was so powerful, it was worshipped, and she even felt that the establishment of Ninja Village was also correct.

It wasn't until now when Xie Mao asked a question that Xiao Nan realized the key: "It should be strength, but it is also the power to defend peace." ”

Today's ninja village system is still with the country, and it is the most direct subject of starting a war, no matter how you think about it, you will feel that ninja village cannot maintain peace, but is a destroyer of peace.

Only by being strong and yearning for peace like the Thousand Hands Pillar can we maintain the stability of the ninja world.

"You're right, peace needs strength to defend it, and peace without strength is just an illusion that can be torn apart at any time."

Xie Mao said calmly: "But the establishment of the ninja village is also good for peace. ”

"What do you mean?" In addition to knowing the Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village better, Xiao Nan, who is almost illiterate in history, asked.

Xie Mao said like a cocoon: "Before the establishment of the ninja village, the war between the ninjas was in the form of a family, and the most ferocious one was the Thousand Hands family and the Uchiha family, which was completely feuding, and there were many, many similar examples, until the Thousand Hands Pillar united with the Uchiha Madara to establish the Konoha Hidden Village, the ninja villages of several large countries appeared one after another, and the same is true of the Sand Hidden Village, and since then, the main body of the war has become between the ninja villages." ”

"What's good for peace, isn't it all war?" Xiao Nan puffed out his mouth invisibly.

Xie Mao didn't care about Xiao Nan's question, and continued: "The Thousand Hand Pillars once thought that as long as each ninja village had manpower that was difficult to stop, and tailed beasts like natural disasters existed, the ninja villages of the big countries would be jealous of each other and usher in peace, but it backfired, and each ninja village was desperately trying to weaponize the tailed beasts and make them a force that could attack each other, and if they succeeded, the small country was further reduced to the object of oppression. ”

"It's worse." Xiao Nan didn't know what a tailed beast was, but she roughly understood the role of the tailed beast, and she puzzled, "So why do you say that the establishment of the ninja village is beneficial?" ”

"The Thousand Hands Family and the Uchiha Family, who used to be feuding, shook hands and made peace, as well as the various families that were originally invisible, aren't they all united? Under the name of the same village, ninjas from different families can also become each other's most trusted companions, although there will still be some contradictions, but it is no longer in the form of war, and it will no longer fight to the death. ”

Of course, the ninja village is not as good as Xie Mao said, and the intrigue still exists, especially when the upper class is rotten, it will do despicable things in the name of the village, such as the Uchiha family in the original book, because of political struggles, dissatisfied with the status quo and attempted to rebel, and was almost wiped out in the end.

But in the final analysis, Konoha's upper-level Uchiha clan is the same as the thief, and as one of the greatest feats in establishing Ninja Village, they will definitely be dissatisfied.

And it's too much to destroy the door.

"If it's not from the same village, can you kill it casually?" Xiao Nan lowered his eyes and remembered his past.

Whether it's a Konoha ninja or a sand ninja, they are all acting recklessly in the land of the Land of Rain.

"Then it's all a village."

Xie Mao walked in front, and his voice came back into Xiao Nan's ears: "Use the power that is enough to defend the peace of the ninja world, and let everyone become a companion of the 'village'." ”

"This is, unity."

…………

Xie Mao took Xiao Nan to the door of Yan Zuoxiu's house, and when he knocked on the door, Xiao Nan, who had already returned to his senses, asked, "Your friend lives here?" ”

"Sort of." As soon as Xie Mao finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door being opened, and then he saw Iwa Zuogang, the younger brother of Iwa Saxiu, who had been briefly taught by him.

"Huh!? It's you! As soon as Iwazuo opened the door and saw Xie Mao, he immediately panicked to close the door.

He was beaten by Xie Mao last time, and he didn't succeed in teaching Xie Mao a lesson when he called his brother who was a ninja, and now when he saw Xie Mao, he thought that the other party had come to the door to take revenge.

As a middle ninja, Xie Mao couldn't watch the other party close the door, he raised his left hand that was not injured with an expressionless face and resisted it, and immediately let the door stop, so that Iwazuogang, who was trying to close the door, couldn't push it any longer.

Xie Mao clearly saw Xiao Nan's slightly strange gaze behind him through his green pupils, he coughed lightly, and said, "What about your brother?" ”

"Are you looking for my brother? Is it to take revenge! Yan Zuogang's expression suddenly panicked, and he pushed the door harder, but his strength was too much worse than Xie Mao's.

"Tell your brother to come out, or I'll go in, I have something to talk to him." Xie Mao said calmly, just not letting the door close, and even began to work harder.

Feeling the door being pushed back, Iwasa hurriedly shouted, "My brother is not at home!" ”

Not at home? Xie Mao intuitively felt that Yan Zuogang was not lying, and he immediately asked, "Do you know where he went?" ”

"How do I know!" Iwasa just stuck to the bottom line and never said where his brother went.

Xie Mao looked sideways at Yan Zuogang behind the door, thought about it and let go of his hand, the door was immediately closed by Yan Zuogang, who was still pushing hard, and the wind mixed with a loud sound, even the surrounding walls trembled faintly.

Iwasa just leaned against the door and gasped twice, feeling that he had overcome something very difficult.

"Don't ask?" Xiao Nan looked at Xie Mao suspiciously, she thought she would ask all at once.

"If Iwasa Kyu is on a mission, he won't tell Iwasa Gang where to go, and if he doesn't go on a mission, he will only stay at his own house."

Xie Mao turned around and said, "Let's go, go to another place, hiss~"

Xie Mao touched the wound, and his nerves throbbed.

When I was lying in bed, I didn't feel anything, and only after I moved could I clearly feel the injury that had not healed.

"You're walking around before you're hurt?" Xiao Nan turned around Xie Mao, looked at Xie Mao's black windbreaker-like coat, and the bandages that still smelled of medicine and said, "Is it really okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just a little distracted."

Xie Mao took a light breath and left the door of Yan Zuoxiu's house with Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan didn't say anything more after caring about Xie Mao's injury.

Xiao Nan was just a captive captured by Xie Mao, and she really didn't have any identity to force Xie Mao to rest, even if it was for Xie Mao's good.

Her concern and worry about Xie Mao was just pretending, and even when she saw Xie Mao's patient and painful expression, she had a faint sense of schadenfreude in her heart.

After all, she still has some resentment towards Xie Mao in her heart, even if Xie Mao protects her under other ninjas, helps her detoxify, and teaches her ninjutsu, but if Xie Mao doesn't attack them, then there will be no follow-up.

She was supposed to be with Jiraiya, Nagato and Yahiko, living a rare and quiet life in a small home of four.

So when he saw Xie Mao's serious injury for the first time in the hospital, Xiao Nan not only was not afraid of sadness, but suddenly had a terrible thought:

Why didn't he die?

It was a dark and terrible thought, so much so that Xiao Nan himself was afraid, and guilt rose in his young heart.

Why did she think that?

She tried her best to contain this vicious thought, probably to make up for the guilt, so she suddenly wanted to learn medical ninjutsu.

As for what it was for the Land of Rain, it was all a reason to find later.

Now that Xiao Nan's heart felt guilty again, she followed behind Xie Mao, pretending to look around and said, "Speaking of which, the environment here doesn't seem to be very good, it feels similar to the place I used to be." ”

"Well, this is a poor place in Shayin Village, the houses are very cheap, and the personnel are very chaotic." Xie Mao glanced at the graffiti on the wall and retracted his gaze, explaining casually.

"Poverty?" Xiao Nan always thought that the word poverty would only be related to small countries, and she lived in Xie Mao's house these days, and she didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Shayin Village, and thought that Shayin Village was very prosperous, but it was just a little messy.

"If you really want to talk about prosperity, you may have to look at the capital of the Fire Country and Konoha Hidden Village, but even these two most prosperous places will still have a slum-like existence."

"Why, shouldn't they all be rich?"

Xie Mao was almost amused, he shook his head and said, "Whether a person is rich or not cannot be judged based on where he lives, is it true that everyone in Shayin Village is rich?" There are many people who have no deposit and have to work hard every day. Well, but being able to live in a rich and peaceful place is a little bit of a benefit. ”

Just like the civilians of the major ninja villages and capitals, they are almost unlikely to be affected by war, while small countries are full of war.

Xiao Nan asked thoughtfully: "Then if it is unified, as you said before, will there still be slums?" ”

"Reunification can only minimize the flames of war, and the contradictions between each other can be life-and-death, and as for whether they can get rich, it depends on what the upper echelons will do after reunification."

Xie Mao gestured to his right arm that was fixed on his chest and said, "Just like this arm, you have to keep it to recover, and if you squeeze it and torture it, you will die to show me." ”

Xiao Nan couldn't help but smile a little: "Then you are still walking around, don't you recuperate?" ”

"Because I'm a little distracted." Xie Mao believed in his own inspiration, and always felt that some bad changes were hidden in places that his eyes did not see, so he dragged the sick body to find it.

This kind of intuitive premonition is convincing, especially the premonition of the strong, no one will accuse, Xiao Nan followed Xie Mao to a sand building again in disbelief.

Xie Mao climbed the stairs that surrounded the sand building, walked step by step to the door of Kaoru Ishigaki's house, and knocked on the door again.

"This is your friend's home, too?"

“…… Right. ”

"It's coming!" Kaoru Ishigaki's energetic voice rang out behind the door.

Soon the door was opened, and the corners of Kaoru Ishigaki's mouth immediately turned up after seeing that it was Xie Mao at the door, but then she saw Xiao Nan next to Xie Mao, who was dressed beautifully and cleanly.

Kaoru Ishigaki's expression froze suddenly, and he was speechless for a short time.

It's okay here...... Xie Mao asked, "Do you know where Iwasa Xiu went?" ”

Kaoru Ishigaki's brain slowed down for two seconds, and he shook his head quickly, just when he wanted to ask who the girl next to Xie Mao was, Xie Mao felt a little more urgency in his heart, and he said: "Although I want to talk to you for a few more days, it's okay to see that you're okay, I still need to go to other places to see, go first." ”

"Huh? Oh, oh......" Kaoru Ishigaki said goodbye to Xie Mao for some unknown reason, and watched the two leave.

She is very inexplicable now.

Who is that girl?

Wrong! Why did Scorpion-kun ask where Brother Iwasa went?

"That girl is your friend?" Xiao Nan looked back at Kaoru Ishigaki, who was still standing at the door, and asked.

"Hmm." Xie Mao answered softly and didn't say much nonsense.

Kaoru Ishigaki has just been kidnapped for a few days, and there should be people from the shadows around her who are watching and protecting, so he doesn't need to worry.

But where does the feeling of restlessness come from?

Xie Mao turned his head and looked in the direction of Yimu Kui's house.

Do you want to look for the clues given by the system when you are in a very poor state and cannot fight2?

This was unplanned at the very beginning.

Xie Mao thought for a while, and finally made up his mind:

"Xiao Nan, do you have any coins on you?"
