Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Chapter 308: Each One's Own Path

After the exam in the Death Forest was over, Zi Luo, Ye Mu and Qian San immediately returned to the hotel.

At this moment, the three of them were gathered in Zi Luo's hotel room. There were a lot of Konoha snacks on the table that they bought from the street when they came back.

The three of them had hardly eaten anything for three days and two nights in the Death Forest, and they survived only by relying on the standard military ration pills.

Although it can meet the basic needs of ninjas and provide a lot of energy, the taste of the Sand Village's food pills... it's really hard to describe.

Zi Luo ate it fine, but the two girls, Chi and Ye Mu, had to pinch their noses every time before they could eat.

Of course, it’s not that Chi and Yame are delicate. It’s just that the delicacies on the table that they have never seen before, coupled with their previous experiences, made them eager to start tasting these Konoha snacks.

After a hearty meal, the three of them showed satisfied expressions on their faces. Even Zi Luo, who was usually extremely self-disciplined, couldn't help but eat two more strings of sweet meatballs.

He felt that such sweets were perfect for replenishing physical strength and were definitely the favorite of physical ninjas!

At this moment, Yemu also breathed a sigh of relief, breaking away from the tension of the second assessment in the Death Forest. Like a little sloth, he hugged Qian directly, with some fear in his tone.

"Wow, wow~ Chi, when the Hokage assistant announced the test results, I was almost scared to death."

"I was just barely qualified for the next round. I almost didn't qualify. It's so scary!"

"You and Zi Luo are much better than me. What if I am the only one who cannot advance? I don't want to be separated from everyone!"

As he said this, he secretly glanced at Zi Luo with his big watery eyes, thinking that he had hidden it well.

But in the eyes of Zi Luo and Qianyan, Ye Mu’s performance was still too conspicuous. This... cannot be said that they did not notice it, but it can only be said that it is difficult not to notice it!

Qian grabbed Ye Mu's two ponytails with both hands and started to rub Ye Mu's hair, sighing helplessly.

"Yame, you have to know that you are the rarest medical ninja. There are not many medical ninjas in the Sand Village."

"And there are so many people taking the exam this time, it's already amazing to be able to advance to the top 26."

"To be honest, if I were you, I might not be able to advance to the final exam. You are the only medical ninja among the 26 who advanced."

"Medical ninjas aren't good at fighting, so I guess you can advance anyway~"

Zi Luo, who was standing beside him, immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating that she agreed with Qian's statement, but she did notice what Ye Mu said, "She doesn't want to be separated from everyone."

Looking at his teammates who had been in a team with him for many years, Zi Luo decided to express his thoughts after being promoted to Chunin at this moment, and wanted to know the future plans of his two teammates.

"Yame, Chi, what are you going to do after the Chunin Exams are over? I plan to go to the border of Sunagakure to man the defense after I'm promoted to Chunin."

Ye Mu suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. The feeling of loss and sadness overwhelmed her, and she almost couldn't breathe.

Qian looked at Zi Luo with some confusion.

"You are fine, why do you have to go to such a harsh environment? Guarding the border is a long-term mission, and the reward is just average."

"But the task is difficult. Why not choose a better development path?"

After listening to Qian's words, Yemu nodded repeatedly, as if he also wanted to persuade Zi Luo.

But Zi Luo shook her head and expressed her thoughts.

"My mother lives there. Because my father is buried there, she doesn't want to leave. On the one hand, in order to take better care of her, I chose to return there to carry out the mission."

"On the other hand, as you saw in your extra test this afternoon, there are still many dangers lurking in the shadows in the ninja world. They actually have the guts to attack a village like Konoha."

“If one day in the future they also attack our village, what should we do?”

"I want to protect our home. Even though it is dry, the environment is harsh and it is not so beautiful, it is still our home, isn't it?"

Ye Mu looked at Zi Luo's determined eyes and the words that touched her heart, and finally made a bold decision at this moment. This would also be the most correct decision she would make when she recalled the past in the future.

"Ziluo! You're right! I want to go with you too!"

"A home of your own is worse than any other! I want to protect Sand Village with you!"

Having said that, he ran straight to the window and shouted outside.

"I must succeed in becoming a Chunin!!!"

The resonant voice spread directly out from the window, attracting the attention of many people. The villagers of Konoha who passed by subconsciously looked in that direction, only to find that it was a cute little girl with twin ponytails.

I can't help but sigh, what a lively and lovely girl, it's great to be young~

So, at this moment, Zi Luo and Ye Mu silently formed a united front and turned their gazes to Qian, with expectations and questions in their eyes.

"Chi, what about you? What do you plan to do after you successfully advance to Chunin?"

Qian Ze put her hands behind her back and supported herself on the tatami, and couldn't help but recall her past life.

In the Sand Village, all daily necessities are extremely precious, because it is impossible to grow any crops in this barren land.

The merciless storms and dry yellow sand make it impossible for the seeds to germinate, and they will only lose their vitality here.

Only in the oasis can you see green plants and water sources, so everyone has to carefully calculate their water usage on a daily basis.

Even when taking a bath, they could only use sand to rub to remove dirt from their bodies. Only nobles would do such a luxurious thing as taking a bath with water.

"As for me...I might try to join Konoha's caravan."

"The village is so short of supplies. I want to bring back more things from Konoha so that everyone can live a little better."

"It looks like we may not be able to carry out missions together again in the future. However, I should still pass by the border frequently, so there will still be a chance for us to meet."

When Yemu listened to Qian Qian's words, her big watery eyes almost burst into tears, but it was not until later that she finally felt much better.

Although we can't continue to stay together as a group of three, it would be nice if we had the chance to meet and get together.

And they all have one common goal, which is to make the Sand Village better and enable the villagers to live a better life.

Although the paths they chose were different, they all led to the same direction in the end...

……

……

I'm so sorry! I had some things to do during the day, so I went out for a while. As a result, I didn't have time to sleep in the morning. I didn't sleep until three or four in the afternoon, and slept until eleven. It's too late. I'll send you two thousand first, and I will make up for it before nine o'clock. Then please reread this chapter~ Thank you~!

Chapter 309 Nagato's Suspicion

At this moment, Nagato was sitting on a huge wheelchair-mounted machine, holding a piece of paper tightly in his hand. His hands were shaking constantly, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was not until a long time later that he came to his senses and recovered from the information on the note that made him shocked, angry, and finally heartbroken.

In fact, after reading the information that Zhang Xiaonan passed on for the second time, he wanted to take all the members of the Akatsuki organization to directly execute Obito and Black Zetsu, the two heartless guys.

But Xiaonan's last words made him suppress his inner impulse: "Calm down, I'll deal with it when I get back."

This was telling Nagato to stay calm, because this was just the news that Konan heard on the battlefield. Although it was most likely true, even if it was false, it could lead to their eternal damnation.

The most important reason among them is the truth about Nagato's Rinnegan.

Konan watched with his own eyes as Madara, after his reincarnation, displayed the power of Nagato and Pain's Six Paths. Even Konoha's Hokage assistant Chiya was able to use this power.

This news shattered Nagato's dream of becoming a god. He leaned back in his wheelchair, looked at his legs, touched his eyes, and laughed at himself in this empty room.

"Ha ha……"

"Teacher Jiraiya, there is no such thing as the Sage's Eye. It is just a vessel for someone to scheme against."

"I am not some high and mighty god, but just an ordinary person..."

But the next moment, the hatred in his eyes seemed to be about to turn into reality and revealed itself, and his right fist directly hit the armrest of the wheelchair.

"Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, right...?"

"You can plot against me, you can use me as a vessel, and it doesn't matter if I lose my legs because of your plan."

"These eyes allowed me to protect Yahiko and Konan during the war, and allowed us to meet Jiraiya-sensei..."

"But you shouldn't...you shouldn't kill Yahiko!!!"

The figure of Tennindo Pain slowly emerged from the shadows and walked in front of Nagato.

Nagato looked at Yahiko's body and the familiar face, and recalled every moment of his life with Yahiko, the man who had always taken care of him like a brother.

[Tiny? What a strange name...]

[Nagato! How long are you going to cry? Crying alone won't change anything, just like this country...]

[The name of the organization is Akatsuki, which symbolizes illuminating the darkness before dawn. How about that? ]

[You and Xiaonan...you must survive no matter what. In fact...you are the real savior...]

Yahiko's words once again kept flashing in Nagato's mind, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Nagato raised his head and looked at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, preventing the tears from falling from his eyes.

"You said that crying all the time is useless, just like this country. So what should I do now?"

"If I don't have the Rinnegan, am I still the savior you mentioned?"

Just as Nagato was falling into inner sleepiness, Obito and Black Zetsu had successfully escaped from the battlefield at the Konoha Gate and returned to their secret base.

A large number of White Zetsu are cultivated here. At a glance, there are tens of thousands of White Zetsu standing here, all with their eyes closed. Behind them are connected by a two-finger-thick white vine, all converging upwards.

Arriving here, Obito leaned against the wall, sat on the ground, clenched his fists tightly, and began to feel helpless and furious.

"Damn it! Even Madara can't deal with that bastard Qianye?"

"In this case, what should we do with the Moon Eye Project!?"

"Forget summoning the Ten-Tails. I can't even deal with Konoha's Nine-Tails!"

Black Zetsu subconsciously felt strange when listening to Obito's words at this moment.

This guy, he clearly knew that the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the Uchiha Stele was fake, so why didn’t he react at all?

So Black Zetsu decided to speak and test the waters.
