Chapter 203 Anomalies in the Country of Rivers
Handing over all the affairs of the city of merchants to the third generation, Conan set off again with the army.

As he left the country of fire and entered the country of rivers, Conan also began to make plans in advance.

Although the main body of this construction army is ninjas, and Conan and others don't really need to rest, there are still many carriages carrying ordinary people and tools behind them, so they need to stop and rest for a while from time to time.

When everyone was resting, Conan was not idle, and took out the map of the country of the river to plan.

I have to say that the environment of the River Country is indeed superior. In a world full of various exotic landforms like the Naruto World, it is really not easy to have an environment suitable for survival.

Sandwiched between the land of fire and the land of wind, the land of rivers has a suitable climate and temperature, and the land of rain located upstream of it has brought him abundant water resources. The domestic water network is densely covered, and the locals cultivate You can also salvage fish and shrimp in your spare time. If you don’t need to worry about floods occasionally, this place can already be said to be the best living environment in the Naruto world.

It's just that this kind of living environment didn't bring any good living conditions to the people of the Kingdom of Rivers, even though it didn't have to suffer from natural disasters like the continuous rainy days in the Land of Rain, nor did it have to endure the land disasters in the Land of Winds. , but there are more serious man-made disasters than these situations.

According to Conan's understanding, although the environment here is superior and the harvest is abundant every year, the residents here still find it difficult to fill their stomachs and are in a state of hunger and poverty all year round.

The reason is very simple. First of all, it is the oppression of the two big countries, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. In this world, all small countries can only accept the exploitation of the big country without exception. Their existence is to serve as a war zone and provide supplies for the big country. existing.

If you produce less, you will pay less tribute, and if you produce more, you will pay more tribute. The country of wind said that we can't eat enough. Why let you feed a small country? Account, the Kingdom of the Wind cannot be completely taken advantage of, so most of the output of the Kingdom of the River has entered the stomachs of the two neighbors.

In addition, coupled with the oppression of local officials and landlords, if it were not for the abundant fish and shrimps to supplement, many people in the country of rivers would really starve to death.

Looking at the map, Conan was looking for a suitable drainage point. Given the dry land area of ​​the Kingdom of Wind, the amount of water needed must not be small. He could only find a way on a few mainstreams, and the terrain of this source must be higher. Currently, Conan has already delineated several suitable locations, and will only wait for the time to inspect them in detail.

In fact, the most suitable place is the Land of Rain, where the rainfall can be said to be excessive, but Conan considers that it is Akatsuki's territory, and Conan gave up this plan in order to avoid unnecessary trouble for you.

Of course, there is actually no problem in choosing the country of the river. The water here is also abundant, and it can also solve the dilemma of the country of the river occasionally encountering floods.

Thinking that his plan was finally implemented, Conan became slightly excited.

It's just that Conan's excitement quickly disappeared.

As we went deeper into the country of the river, we found a discordant place. Although the country of the river can be said to have beautiful scenery, the population is too sparse.

Along the way, I passed two villages, or the places that used to be villages. The whole village was empty, not even the sound of livestock, like dead villages.

"It seems that the battle between our Konoha and Sand Shinobi brought a lot of pain to this country." Conan suddenly felt emotional.

Although Conan was not present in the previous battle between Konoha and Sand Ninja, the battle did last for a long time. Konoha and Sand Ninja suffered a lot of casualties. It is also normal.

Not to mention whether civilians will voluntarily flee these dangerous areas in the war zone, it is impossible for the two warring parties to allow unidentified strangers to exist in the middle of the war zone. When encountering unidentified civilians in the wild, in order to avoid unidentified Necessary danger, the way most ninjas shoot a dart at random, so as long as there is a big war, there will generally be a large-scale flight between the warring areas.

From these empty villages, Conan can imagine what kind of pain the people who lived here before suffered. They had to leave their hometowns with their only rations and embark on a road of unknown life and death. It is estimated that less than half of them survived. The scene of Yuno Country that happened in the battlefield between Yunin and Konoha, Conan's mood fell again.

Hearing Conan's explanation for such a scene, Conan and his party were a little depressed, even Naruto, who has always been lively and active, became negative and lowered his head sullenly.

Contrary to Conan's expectations, Sasuke, who has always been indifferent, also felt a little uncomfortable facing such a situation.

Seeing Sasuke with a bad face, Conan smiled slightly. Sure enough, Sasuke's nature is not bad, but the reality has been forcing him. Under his own guidance, he has embarked on a completely different path from the original one. .

Soon, Conan and others encountered the third and fourth such villages.

"Conan, something is wrong." Kakashi said suddenly.

Conan looked at the deserted village in front of him, thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something, nodded solemnly: "It's really not right."

It stands to reason that even if a large number of people will evacuate during the war, they should often return to their homes immediately after the war. Even if many people die, a large part of them will return after all. of.

And the empty villages in front of me are completely unreasonable. The war has been over for a long time, and people should come back. One or two villages that are empty may be abandoned by accident, but there are so many villages. It is definitely not a coincidence that can make sense.

After hearing Conan's words, Jiraiya carefully perceived the surrounding environment and said, "It's true that no one is there anymore, it's just"

Zilai also said that he picked up some crops on both sides of the road and carefully identified them.

"These crops were cultivated not long ago, and there are traces of people living in the village not long ago."

Hearing this, Conan's expression became more serious: "So these people all disappeared not long ago?"

Looking at the dead village in front of him, Conan's thoughts became mixed.

After a while, Conan ordered sharply: "Send ten scout teams to investigate the surrounding area. If you encounter a living person, bring them back. There may be a problem here, so be careful."
