Chapter 115: Flicker, flicker
"Lord Angel, in front of me is Owari Castle, one of the six major cities of the Fire Country, although there is no prohibition of trade with the outside world, and the management is very relaxed, but there are two places that must be paid attention to."
The owner of the caravan was a fat man, and it is said that Kakudu had gone to great lengths to poach him as his subordinate.
"The first is don't touch the laws here."
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his bosom.
Xiao Nan took it and looked at it, there were a few big characters printed on it, "Code of the Land of Fire"
"What else?"
"Also, you must not speak ill of the master of the Fire Country, although this is not written in the law, it is a taboo engraved in the hearts and even souls of every Fire Nation person."
After the fat man finished speaking cautiously, he prepared to go down, "I'm about to enter the city, I have to go and prepare, Lord Angel, have a good rest, and I can have a good time later." β
Xiao Nan nodded indifferently, and then opened the booklet in his hand.
In the first line of words, it reads: In the land of fire, the right to life is supreme, and those who wantonly infringe on the safety of others' lives and property will be sentenced to death!
Just this paragraph made Xiao Nan stunned.
The more she scrolled down, the more strange she felt, even stranger.
In this dark world, such a thing as the right to life can be written into the legal code?
Is that Goyome a guy as naΓ―ve as Yahiko?
This question appeared in Xiao Nan's heart.
When she got out of the car and stepped into the city with both feet, she felt like she was suddenly separated from the world.
Compared to the cold and damp Rain Ninja Village, where everyone is trying to survive, the people here live in the sun, and children can run without scruples, and every face is full of smiles.
The roads are neat and clean, there is no sewage everywhere, and even the most common beggars in other places, there is not a single wanderer here.
How exactly is this done?
The fat man of the caravan had already gone to do business, and Xiao Nan followed the throbbing in his heart, carefully looking at every place.
She was a little surprised to find that whenever there was a dispute, a young man in a black uniform, or even a young ninja, would come out of nowhere.
With his mediation, no matter what the conflict will be resolved.
After a little thought, Xiao Nan took out a food exchange voucher and came to a pastry shop on the side of the road.
"How much can I buy with this?"
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and after hearing this, he first looked at the ticket, and then smiled: "This is the largest food stamp, which can buy a lot of food, and is generally only used by ninjas."
I suggest you go to the ticket office to exchange some small denominations before coming out, otherwise it will be very inconvenient. β
"That's right."
Xiao Nan nodded, turned around and was about to go out.
"Wait!"
The middle-aged boss suddenly stopped her.
"What's the matter?"
Out of ninja instinct, Xiao Nan's body tensed.
"You're from outside, it takes a lot of procedures to go to the ticket store to redeem it, you can take this red bean cake and eat it first."
He took out two boxes of goods from the already packaged goods, "Eat, eat, it's hard to be hungry." β
"Thank you..."
Xiao Nan did not refuse, and after taking the things, he was ready to go out.
When she came to the door, she seemed to think of something, stopped and turned around and asked, "Boss, do you think that the current Fire Country... Forget it, thank you for the pastry. β
Xiao Nan returned to the street again, opened the pastry and took a bite, it was very sweet, it was a taste that was not found in Yunin Village.
But an unexpected person made her put on the mask again.
"Lord Angel..."
Orochimaru surrounded him with a group of forbidden soldiers, "I didn't expect to meet you here." β
"It's you."
The cold tone was the same as the two of them just now, "For people like you, Konoha will even accept them again, and it seems that the monarch killer is nothing more than that." β
"Bold!"
When a forbidden soldier heard this, he immediately couldn't stand it.
"Hehe, the amount of the fifth generation purpose is unimaginable."
Orochimaru waved his hand to stop the forbidden army who was about to attack, "Please come with me, you can ask any questions in person." β
"Five generations?"
Xiao Nan's reason told her that it was the best choice to fly away immediately at this time, but an impulse still made her keep up with Orochimaru's footsteps.
A moment later.
In a courtyard firmly enclosed by a huge wall.
Amber, who was drinking tea, poured a cup for Xiao Nan who walked in.
"Please."
"It turns out that the fifth generation is so young."
Xiao Nan didn't drink, and he didn't even sit down, "What is the purpose of you who replaced the big name?" β
"The purpose? Didn't you see that? β
Amber pointed outside, "I know your story, and I know the naΓ―ve dreams of the first leader of Akatsuki, isn't what Konoha is doing now is doing what he wants to do but doesn't do?" β
"You..."
Xiao Nan's pupils shrank, "Did Mr. Jiraiya tell you?" β
"It's okay if you think so."
Amber raised his glass and took a sip, the bitter taste made him close his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his mouth had already turned into sweetness, "These are actually not important, what matters is the next choice between you and Nagato."
On the road to peace, sacrifice is necessary, and pain is bound to appear, some people will become radical because of this, and some will also use all the suffering they have suffered as nourishment to bear more brilliant flowers.
Instead of taking revenge on this world, it is better to transform him into what he wants. β
"Although I don't know where you got your confidence, I still want to say, don't underestimate others, and don't think too highly of yourself."
Xiao Nan's tone became calm and indifferent, "Nagato... You even know Nagato..."
"I know a lot of things."
Amber pointed to her head, "Want to hear my story?" β
Xiao Nan didn't speak, but the silence itself was a statement.
"Actually, like you, I am an orphan who survived the battlefield, in addition to grabbing food from wild dogs every day, I also have to be careful not to anger the ninja because of something, so I will be killed at will."
Amber said with a smile on her face, as if she were telling someone else's story, "Then I wondered if if I died in a corner one day, would the corpse be eaten by those wild dogs."
But fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet Dean Nonoyu, who was cleaning up the battlefield, and I survived because of this.
But this world is like this, good people will never get good rewards, and good intentions will always be maliciously harmed.
It's not fair, the world shouldn't be like this, and people shouldn't be like this, so I want to change it. β
Xiao Nan fell into a longer silence.
From an orphan who almost died, to now ruling the entire Fire Country, he has become a Hokage who is respected by everyone, and his people have a fairly happy life.
It's so difficult that just thinking about it makes people desperate.
"Xiao Nan, we are not enemies, on the contrary, we should be friends."
Amber held out her hand, "Come and help me fulfill Yahiko's unfulfilled dream." β
