Chapter Forty-Eight: Longing is the Feeling Farther from Understanding (Two Chapters in One)
It was an hour later when I came to Ruri's room.
The other party was holding a scroll in his hand, studying something carefully, and Shiraishi glanced at it, and the content recorded on it was related to the Fire Escape Ninjutsu.
"What's the matter?"
Ruri looked away from the scroll and glanced up at Shiraishi.
"Ah, that...... I want to go to the pharmacy and buy some herbs, there are not enough in the lab. ”
Shiraishi scratched his head, his expression was the same as usual, and he didn't show anything unusual.
"Got it, remember to bring me some natto when you come back."
"Natto?"
Shiraishi nodded in understanding, and walked out of the room.
When I got outside, I exhaled softly, and finally got past it.
Bringing Ayane here to collect body data is not very reliable at all, and it is difficult to do, and the probability of being accidentally discovered is too high.
This is the hinterland of the Uchiha clan, and even if you have white eyes, you can't easily sneak in.
Otherwise, the Uchiha clan would not have such a great reputation in the ninja world.
So it's better to collect Ayane's body data outside.
Shiraishi also thought of a location, which was in his original home.
Bringing the scroll of the sealed instrument, Shiraishi went to buy some natto first to prevent it from being forgotten when he returned.
Next, I went to the Hyuga clan to find Ayane.
It's impossible to find Ayane in the Hyuga family, not to mention the white eyes, the Hyuga clan's clan land is close to the center of the village, and the environment is completely different from the Uchiha's clan land, and the garrison of the village there is also the strongest.
Although they are all bloodstained ninjas, the Hyuga clan can live close to the core of the village, but the Uchiha clan has to live a little further in the middle of the village.
Incredibly, the Uchiha also has the authority of the garrison, and it is easier to mobilize the action of the garrison by living in the center of the village.
This approach is simply contradictory, and there are too many places that do not conform to normal logic.
Shiraishi has lived in the Uchiha clan all these years, but he doesn't know the core secrets of the Uchiha, and Ruri doesn't explain it to him, but he also knows that the relationship between the Uchiha and the village leaders is only superficially relaxed, but in fact, the relationship is a mess, and they are wary and hostile to each other.
Thinking like this, I have already arrived at the Hyuga clan's land, I have to say that the ninjas of the Hyuga clan pay more attention to the word literacy than the ninjas of the Uchiha, and the appearance is sven, and the tone of speech is not hurried or slow, although there is also the pride of being a wealthy family, but there is no sense of domineering.
Of course, this is from an outsider's point of view, and if you look at the Hyuga clan themselves, it is likely that this may not be the case many times.
After all, even if the explanation is to protect the white eye, this explanation is actually difficult to stand.
If it is to protect the white eye, in fact, it is enough to change the function of the caged bird to destroy the single ability of the white eye when the family member dies.
However, this is not the case, the caged bird curse mark also has the ability to curse and kill, and it can make the ninja who disobeys the sect family miserable.
The use of the excuse of protecting the white eyes is really unconvincing, and the addition of the curse killing function to the caged bird curse mark is, in Shiraishi's view, an act of redundancy and snake painting.
If the ability to seal the White Eye is only when necessary, it can be said that it is to protect the White Eye, and the ninja of the split family may not have such a great resentment towards the clan.
"Shiraishi-kun, why are you here? Is there any new arrangement from Mr. Shuomao? ”
Ayane was dressed in neat white clothes, and her long black hair was neatly draped behind her, and when she saw Shiraishi coming here to look for her, her face showed a slight look of doubt.
"It's not like that. I need to buy some herbs and make some medicines that I can use in future missions. But I'm a little busy on my own, so I'd like to ask you for help. ”
"That's right." Ayane tapped her finger at her snow-white chin, thought about it for a moment, and said with a pure smile on her face, "Okay then, but it's better to hurry, I have to be back before dinner." ”
"That's enough."
Next, Shiraishi took Ayane to the Konoha Pharmacy to buy various herbs with different effects.
Speaking of which, most of the pharmacies in Konoha are run by the Nara clan, because this clan is good at raising deer, and antlers are an extremely precious medicinal material, so among the pharmacies run by the Nara clan, there are various quality antlers, which is considered a major feature.
Even many merchants from other places would come to Konoha to buy the antlers of the Nara clan, which shows that the antlers of the Nara clan are of excellent quality. Coupled with the fair price and the fact that they never bully customers, many pharmacists like to deal with the Nara family.
And this clan and the Yamanaka clan and the Autumn Road clan have formed the so-called 'pig deer butterfly' alliance, and the three clans are all ninja clans of secret art inheritance, and they also have a very big reputation among Konoha people.
In addition, the position of the previous Konoha ninja squad leader will be held by the ninjas of the Nara clan, coupled with the strong support of the Yamanaka clan and the Akido clan, which makes the status of the Pig Deer and Butterfly Alliance in Konoha also rise, and since the first Hokage was in power, it has never been excluded from the center of power, and it has been trusted by successive Hokages.
In comparison, the Uchiha clan's position in Konoha is really embarrassing.
It is said that it is one of the two ninja clans that opened up Konoha, but at the moment there are no connections in Konoha that can be used, and even the Hyuga clan can't compare, let alone the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly, which are trusted by the Hokage.
When I came out of the pharmacy, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
After such a big circle, now is the time to get down to business.
The place where Shiraishi used to live was kept a considerable distance from the center of Konoha for a long time, and the number of times he came back in the past few years was already in a state of no one's interest.
"Shiraishi-kun, are we secretly having a tryst like this?"
After entering the room, Ayane put her hands behind her back and leaned slightly sideways, and you could vaguely see a faint smile on her clean face.
"Now we're getting down to business."
"I'm wondering what Shiraishi-kun would do if Ruri found out about this? The people who share the day and night secretly have trysts with other girls behind their backs, maybe because of the overstimulation, it leads to the further evolution of the writing wheel eye and becomes the form of the three-hooked jade. ”
"How could it be possible for the writing wheel to evolve so casually? You're thinking too much. ”
"It's not necessarily, after all, Ruri is a genius of the Uchiha, and the violent fluctuations in feelings are indeed the best catalyst for the evolution of the Sharingan."
"You know I came out at the risk of my life. So it's important to get down to business, okay, hurry up and take off your clothes. ”
"Clothes...... Take it off, take it off? Do you take it all off? Shiraishi-kun, this is for my future husband......"
Ayane hugged her chest tightly, a shy flush suddenly appeared on her face, and she seemed to be very embarrassed when she bit her lip.
"What's going on in your head? Haven't you done this many times? Not to mention the issue of just taking off the coat, even if I take it off, I will uphold the ethics of a doctor and treat everyone equally. ”
Shiraishi replied to Ayane in a serious manner.
"In other words, it doesn't matter if I take it off all now, right?"
Ayane's fingers had already unzipped her blouse, and her chest was freed, and it seemed that some of her muscles were beginning to bulge, and there was a hint of a smile in the depths of her eyes.
"No, you don't. Hurry up and finish it, I'm in a hurry right now. ”
"Really, it's a good opportunity."
"Are you really only twelve?"
"I wonder if girls are a little precocious? There is a fourteen-year-old girl in our clan, because she is not a ninja, her only role is to give birth to a new child for the clan, and now she is pregnant, and she will become a mother this year. ”
Shiraishi sighed, for this kind of era of frequent wars, population is indeed an issue that cannot be ignored.
However, Shiraishi knows that the fertility success rate in this world is very high, not only the popularity of chakra, but also various miraculous medical ninjutsu.
In the rest of the place, Shiraishi is not very clear, and the female fertility situation recorded in the Konoha Hospital, only a few women have problems during childbirth, but they also saved their lives in time.
The problem of early birth in women should also be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
But this kind of thing is still not very supportive, and it has nothing to do with people's physique, but life values.
Whether it is going to the battlefield in advance or giving birth early, it will lead to various hidden dangers and deviations in the person's future life values.
But in this era of war and chaos, when there is no specific bill on basic human rights, it is just fanciful to say that these are just fanciful, and those in power can say whatever they want.
Whether he didn't think of this problem, or didn't dare to do it, or didn't want to give up his own interests, it has nothing to do with Shiraishi.
In his position, he is just a medical ninja, and being a doctor is his job.
Shiraishi opened the scroll and began to seal it, freeing up the equipment used to detect his body.
I have to say that the sealing scroll is very practical, as long as it is not a living thing, it can be filled inside, but the price will be a little expensive.
Ayane lay on the cold operating table and quieted down, not teasing Shiraishi again, waiting for Shiraishi's analysis results with peace of mind.
It's about the caged bird's curse, and she knows what's serious.
The test didn't take long, it was done in 10 minutes.
Ayane got off the operating table and asked aloud, "Is that all there is to it?" ”
"Well, I already have an idea of how to solve the problem about the caged bird, but the specific methods and steps, I will find time to tell you when I carry out the mission next time. For the time being, we will need to live under the protection of Konoha, and in the meantime, I will also look for a suitable base and live there later. ”
"Are you looking for it?"
"The Land of Demons and the Land of Iron."
Shiraishi said the names of these two countries, and Ayane was slightly stunned.
"The Oni Country and the Iron Country are permanent neutral countries in the ninja world, and the wars that have continued to break out over the years have not affected either country too much. In addition, they are located in a remote area, and they are not easy to be targeted by major powers. The rich land of the Fire Country is the fundamental reason for the outbreak of the Great Ninja War. ”
"If that's the case, then those two countries are really good to live in. When exactly did you leave Konoha? ”
"The next ninja war is coming."
"The next ninja war? Will it be too long? ”
There was a gap of more than ten years between the First Ninja War and the Second Ninja War, and it is still unknown whether the Third Ninja War will break out.
"Don't worry. The end of this ninja war, the next ninja war, will not be too long, and it will still be a dispute over the rich land of the land of fire. At that time, it was the best time for us to leave Konoha, and they were caught in the war on all sides, and they didn't have time to deal with us rebels who were nowhere to be found. ”
Shiraishi's inference is based on facts.
The moderation of diplomacy means that the other four ninja villages will not be in awe and fear because of Konoha's strength, but will more easily arouse their jealousy and bandit psychology.
During the current period when the three generations of Hokage were in power, although there were more victories and fewer defeats in foreign wars, every time you think about it, it is a passive counterattack.
Whether it's the War of the Land of Rain, or the War of the Sand Hidden Invasion of the Land of Fire this time, they are all forced to fight back.
Even if it is victorious, it can be said to be a defeat, because there is no benefit to be gained after the end of the war.
The enemy does not ask for compensation for the defeat, but only wins a prestigious victory, and there is no actual benefit.
seems to be a victory, but in fact, in Shiraishi's opinion, he is just eating the old bottom left over from the previous two generations of Hokage.
Ayane looked at Shiraishi as if she didn't understand, although she wanted to believe Shiraishi's guess, but Konoha is the head of the five ninja villages, and the military power has always occupied the first, after this ninja war, even if the next big war comes, it should be something that will happen many years later, how can it be said that the interval will not be too long?
Shiraishi smiled slightly, looked at the peaceful scene outside the window, and said:
"If we seek peace through struggle, we will live in peace, and if we seek peace through compromise, we will die in peace." As the embodiment of the most powerful country's military power, Konoha's foreign policy is so gentle and weak, and the result will only be the result of wolves surrounding. The more you want peace, the more you will always get only forced war. ”
"But in the old ......"
Shiraishi knew what Ayane wanted to add, and he had studied the history of Konoha and knew something about the first Hokage, so he interrupted: "The will of fire is only suitable for the first Hokage, and this will to seek peace through compromise with the outside world is not suitable for future generations. After his death, no one wants to have the same innocent dreams as him. These two ninja wars are proof of this. It's also the basis for my speculation. ”
"Is the source of the chaos the first Hokage?"
This was the first time Ayane had heard such a statement.
"That's true in a sense. Even if Konoha is destroyed one day, they probably don't understand why they are destroyed. The so-called longing is the feeling that is the furthest away from understanding. If you worship one person too much, it's easy to lose sight of the essence of things. ”
It is not so much the three generations of Hokage who have put Konoha in the unfavorable state it is today, this sentence is not entirely accurate, because the seeds of disaster have been planted as early as the time of the first Hokage.
The three generations of Hokage just took the blame for the first Hokage and cleaned up the mess.
Therefore, the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War is inevitable, and the time interval between the Second Ninja World War is not long, and it is also inevitable.
At that time, it was also the safest time to leave Konoha.
Konoha is in danger on all sides, and he is already exhausted just to deal with the war, so how can he have time to focus on exterminating the rebels.
"Really? I've been longing for this kind of Shiraishi-kun since I was in the past. However, I'd love to know all about Shiraishi-kun. So...... When it's just the two of us alone, please be gentle with me. ”
On Ayane's face, a pure and flawless happy smile appeared, and there was a hint of shy blush on her face.
Shiraishi was slightly stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
'Be gentle with me'...... So, the so-called gentleness, in Ayane's heart, to what extent do you want him to be?
This summer, it's so hot that you feel anxious.
