[Naruto] Survival Records of the Warring States Period

There was a lot of security in the town because of the arson case.

There were more police officers patrolling the streets, but there was no news of the arrest of the arsonist.

Just when you think the town might be on alert for a long time, they inexplicably stop pursuing the case.

This mysterious case has brought a lot of changes to the boring lives of the people in the town. There are conspiracy theories, monster theories, and thieves theories.

Not long after, you hear children on the street singing strange nursery rhymes such as "The red fox blows red fire, and the red dragonfly flies to the sky pavilion." You will know that these theories are probably caused by monsters. Got the upper hand.

The first time you heard the children singing on the roadside, you thought the fox in the lyrics was a hint to Kyuubi, and you got goosebumps. Later, you realized that Kyuubi was probably still sleeping at the altar at this time.

After all, topics related to monsters are very popular in every world.

You were not idle in the store. When you were free, you divided the books in the store into major categories and sub-categories, and then arranged them on the bookshelf in order.

Books that are not suitable for children are also separated separately. You finally put the poetry collections that your customers will never buy together with these books back to their rightful place, feeling refreshed.

God knows you wanted to do this on the first day you came to work here, but your boss always doesn't allow you to get close to this bookshelf because of your age.

Because the store had to be opened to receive customers during the day, the entire project was carried out one after another and took about a week in total.

The landlady doesn't allow animals to be brought back, saying her house will stink if everyone keeps animals in the house.

In desperation, you could only completely clean the back room of the store, clearing away all the clutter and leaving yourself a place barely big enough to sleep.

Because they were staying in the store temporarily, Acai and Taro's study process also stopped. However, Yumi would sometimes come to the store to ask you some questions.

Acai and Tailang were happy because they didn't have to study. Several times when they followed their mother to deliver things to you, they secretly asked you when you would come home and whether you would stop learning those complicated things in the future.

you:"……"

In short, the two children hid behind their mother after seeing your expression.

The second week after the enforcement office stopped investigating the arsonist, envoys from the Kingdom of Wind arrived at the castle at a time when the leaves were just turning a little crimson.

After this, you will not know any more news about the peace talks. You can only wait for a good result with worry and expectation like your neighbors.

As for what the good outcome is, you can't tell - this war is neither close nor distant, but it seems far away - the battle is fought by ninjas, and the battlefield is far away in the country of Kawawa in the west. Kingdom of Wind, the impact you suffered in this war were all caused by the war-related orders issued by the high-ranking daimyo.

But you all have a vague idea - let's armistice.

This anxiety has gradually become a contagious disease, gradually infecting everyone living here.

It was as if the gods in the dark world really opened their eyes and responded to everyone's expectations. Half a month after the envoys from the Kingdom of Wind entered the castle, the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind began formal peace talks.

——The Kingdom of Fire withdrew its remaining ninjas left in the Kingdom of Sichuan and terminated their contracts. The Kingdom of Wind also returned the hostages of the Kingdom of Fire that it had detained.

On this basis, the two parties will discuss detailed compensation matters. There are even rumors that the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire may use this to get married.

You saw Uchiha Madara on the day when news of the daimyo's decision to negotiate peace reached the town.

In the daimyo's mansion, the old daimyo was lying on the couch, his throat kept making painful "ho ho" sounds, but he could not speak.

He opened his eyes unwillingly and firmly grasped the wrist of the young man kneeling in front of his bed. The two eyes sunk deep in his eye sockets stared at each other as if they were about to burst.

Izumi Hiiragi calmly opened her father's fingers, her tone full of respect: "Don't worry, Jingzi is my sister, of course I will take good care of her and choose a husband of a similar family background for her."

The old man on the couch looked even more excited when he heard the words. His skinny chest kept rising and falling like a bellows, but he could do nothing but make incomprehensible noises from his throat.

"You take good care of your health, father. I also hope that you can see the day when we sign the contract with the Kingdom of Wind." The young man removed his father's hand forcefully, stuffed it into the quilt, and then rubbed the quilt on his wrist. There were some purple marks on the scratch, "As for those ninjas, is it too cruel to let them leave the Country of Fire after losing once?"

"You can also expect that this is tantamount to pushing all ninjas out of the Land of Fire. So those words I said before were just angry words, right?" The smile on Izumi Hiiragi's face had no fluctuations, like a fixed mask. .

He leaned forward slightly, as if to listen to what his father was saying, then straightened his body under the daimyo's thorny and resentful gaze, and tapped the palm of his other hand with the fan in his hand, as if he suddenly realized something.

"——That's true, then I'm relieved."

Izumi Hiiragi stood up slowly and looked down at his father with strong concern in his eyes: "It's getting late, father. Hiiragi will come to visit you tomorrow."

He walked out of the room and saw Jingzi who was stopped outside the hall not far away. The corners of his lips that had been raised finally dropped.

"Jingzi, what are you making a fuss about?" He walked over and asked, with no affection at all for this half-sister, and his voice was cold as hell.

The young princess's sharp eyes stared directly at him, which reminded him of the way his father in the palace looked at him just now, which made the disgust in his heart uncontrollably surge.

"You did it, right?" Jingzi said in the same cold voice, more like a statement than a question, "If you do this today, your heirs will do the same thing in the future."

"I can understand your dissatisfaction with the new marriage, but I don't understand what you mean, Jingzi."

Jingzi sneered: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'll wait and see. I will watch your fate in the Kingdom of Wind, brother Hiiragi."

After Izumi Jingzi finished speaking, she turned around and left, no matter how angry her brother was behind her.

She didn't expect to see her father when she came here today, she just felt disgusted with Izumi Hiiragi.

——One by one, she can marry whomever she wants, and things also have their own tempers.

Because you have already met Senju Hashirama and Tobirama, you were mentally prepared to see Uchiha Madara and more people in the future, but you never expected that it would be like this.

After the news of the peace talks came, the atmosphere in the town was as lively as a festival celebration. People seemed to be trying to make up for the lost time during the previous period of turmoil.

Infected by this atmosphere, you also plan to relax and decide to go out for a walk after get off work.

Considering that the street was too busy and Miyanosuke might be frightened, you didn't take it out. You left cat food and water for it and closed the door before going out.

At this time, you have obviously forgotten what your mother told you not to run around, and you have also forgotten that you are still a child that criminals like to prey on.

You wander endlessly with the tourists on the street. The simple lanterns hanging on the eaves of the street are connected in series. At a glance, it seems that the whole street is brightly lit.

In a trance, the extremely normal clothes worn by tourists overlapped with the traditional clothes worn by tourists from the festivals they had participated in.

The barriers between the two worlds seem to merge together at this moment. Standing at the junction of the two worlds, you can see the dazzling lights hanging above the street on the other side, the humid and hot breath of summer, and the blooming flowers in the night sky. There were huge fireworks, and the quiet and elegant sound of Kagura bells came from a more distant place.

That was the world you once had. Before you went to the big city to study, there were festivals in small towns. The rapid economic development took away the young labor force in the town. The festivals became deserted every year, but there were always people who stayed here. The roommate you disliked when you were in college didn't have many conflicts with you at that time. You slipped out of the stuffy home and looked at the goldfish stall that had been there for several years, the crystal sweet apple candies on the mobile shop, The steaming Maruko-chan was discussing whether or not to go see her classmate Miko's performance tonight.

After the festival, you were on the way home complaining that the festival was so stale every year, and then your roommate asked you where you were going after entering high school.

You said you wanted to go to the big city and leave this damn little place, so she also said that she was fed up with this place where all the students and parents in the school knew each other, and she would never come back after leaving.

The pilled edges on the old curtains are particularly clear in the light of the shop lanterns. You think of what you said before and your throat gets clogged.

Those boring memories of your youth are still so clearly in your mind. What you once wanted to escape has become your hometown that is now out of reach.

The enthusiastic shouts and frolics of the local merchants were mixed in with the jubilant flow of people. The armistice was a good thing worth celebrating, but walking among them you couldn't deeply feel their joy.

Everything at this time is like a fragile bubble. When the market dissipates late at night and the tourists return home, you will be left behind, a lost person who cannot go home.

Everything that belongs to you has been lost since the night you came into this world more than half a year ago.

Realizing this, a strong sense of boredom swept through your body. You turned around and walked back, intending to go back to the store, but saw several people hurriedly turning around not far away.

After withdrawing from this joyful and celebratory mood that almost paralyzed your brain, you couldn't help but think a little, and you became more vigilant after seeing these strange people.

You pretended to hang around among the vendors, just asking if you wanted to buy, and secretly sizing up those people. After several bosses impatiently drove you away, you confirmed that they were coming for you. And when you think about it more carefully, you have indeed seen them near the store several times in the past few days, and your heart sinks.

What do you have that deserves to be followed by so many people, covertly and covertly?

Obviously, you yourself do not have this value.

After Boss A Cong left, you were responsible for the management of Qingshui Bookstore. Boss A Cong also hadn't appeared for a while. You were the only child in the store for a long time.

It’s hard not to tempt some people with ulterior motives.

During this period of time, you simply lived in the store and lived in seclusion. You locked the door after closing the store at your mother's reminder. I'm afraid these people have been waiting for you to go out for a while.

It's hard to go back to the store now. You don't know if they have set an ambush in the store.

The execution office is several towns away. You hesitate to go directly to the execution office, but you are afraid that you will be found trying to anger the other party on the way, so you can only wander around pretending to be nonchalant while thinking of a solution.

You don’t know how long you’ve been walking, but you suddenly see two teenagers not far away who are being avoided by pedestrians.

The two of them were wearing dark blue uniforms of the same standard. One of them had a terrifyingly gloomy face and a formidable aura. His companion was obviously trying to comfort him, with a look of helplessness on his face.

You noticed the ninja tool bag hanging on the other person's body. You thought for a moment between being murdered and trying to deal with the other person's low pressure, and then walked over.

"Are you two ninja-sama?" You cautiously stopped in front of them and asked with a pale face.

He didn't know whether his body, which honestly reflected his fearful emotions, was directed at the gangsters or the terrifying ninja in front of him.

Under the dim candlelight, you look up, and you always feel that the other person's face is somewhat familiar. Even the impatience between the young man's eyebrows has a strange sense of déjà vu, as if you have seen him somewhere. .

——The first time you met Uchiha Madara, you didn’t recognize him at all.
