[Hokage] Snake Scale

A day in Tanokuni passed quite peacefully.

Maybe it was because the person who wanted to hurt Fengji was too confident, or maybe it was some other reason, they were not attacked all day.

The next day they started their journey in the same pattern as when they set off from Konoha.

Because Shengshu had already met Feng Ji, his face changed into that of Feng Ji.Before getting into the sedan chair, he was still complaining about why he was not allowed to see Feng Ji's face the day before yesterday.

She Zi sat next to Feng Ji, and the sedan chair began to bump forward.

"Master Ninja, am I being selfish?" After walking for a while, Feng Ji suddenly asked.

"Oh?" Snake made a single voice of doubt.

"I killed someone the night before yesterday." Feng Ji raised her hands, those white hands trembled a little at this moment, "Maybe they only came to arrest me after receiving a mission, and they didn't intend to kill me."

"I killed people for my own reasons, isn't that wrong?" She looked as if she was about to cry, "Just to survive, isn't that very selfish?"

Seeing Fengji's bitter expression, Snake snorted lightly.

"There is nothing wrong with wanting to live, and I admire those who want to live by whatever means possible." Snake shook his head, folded his arms, ""Live", this is an instinct. "

"So, does Ninja-sama often experience this kind of life?" Feng Ji asked in a low voice.

"Ah." Snake looked out of the window with distant eyes, "Slaying and fighting for missions, this is a ninja."

There's no denying that ninja is a brutal profession.

But it is precisely because of this cruelty that they become stronger.

"It seems very tired." Feng Ji squeezed her sleeves with her hands, "But... I am so envious of Mr. Ninja."

"Envy?" Snake sneered, "There is nothing to envy."

"You can travel to so many places and choose your own future, but I can only walk the road he paved for me." Feng Ji said, "I wish I was a ninja with strength and could choose many things gone."

"That's not necessarily true." Snake looked calmly, "Your definition of the ninja profession is too far away."

The definition of ninja is too complicated.

She couldn't give a fixed answer to correct Feng Ji's mistake, but she was very clear that Feng Ji's envy of ninjas was not worth it.

"Is it me you envy, or this profession?" Snake asked.

"It's you, Ninja." Feng Ji replied, "But I also envy the profession of ninja."

"It doesn't matter, no matter what your answer is." Snake shook his head.

"Do you want to know what I have experienced?" Her golden eyes looked at Feng Ji's black eyes, "Do you want to know why I have the power to choose my own path?"

Feng Ji did not avoid Snake's gaze, she looked at her without saying anything.But Snake could tell that she was waiting for her answer.

"I am a disciple of Hokage." Snake said, "But do you know why?"

"Because my parents died." Snake's voice was very calm, "They died at a very young age."

The reason Sarutobi Hiruzen kept her in the first place was because of their entrustment.

"Sorry." Feng Ji didn't expect her family to be involved.

"No, no, no, there's no need for you to apologize." Snake laughed, "They died on the battlefield themselves, and they can't blame anyone. If you want to blame them, blame them for not being strong enough."

She doesn't feel much belonging to them anymore.

When they were young, they were always on missions, and she could count the number of times she saw them on her fingers.Up to now, she can't remember the faces of the so-called "parents" at all.

"So at that time I was thinking, as long as I am strong enough." Snake's golden eyes suddenly lit up, as if a flame was burning, "Then I won't die, Tsunade won't die. If you come, you will not die, and the rope tree will not die."

Feng Ji didn't recognize any of the names she spit out, she thought maybe one of them was the boy in another sedan chair.

"Life is too fragile." Snake crushed an ant from the window of the sedan chair and held it in his hand. "Look, this is life."

She pressed her fingers hard, and then let go, and the struggling ant slipped from her hand to the ground motionless.

Looking at the dead ants on the ground, Feng Ji couldn't help holding her breath.

"You don't have to envy me, and you don't need to envy the profession of ninja." Snake's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, "Because the lives of ninjas are like ants, they are worthless."

The daimyo appoints the shadow, the shadow controls the village, the human issues the task, and the ninja performs the task.

No one feels sad when an ant is trampled to death.

The most they'll be mad at is that their stuff isn't well protected by the "ants", oh damn you didn't do it right when I paid for it.

In their eyes, the life of a ninja is inferior.

"Is this a profession where you can choose your path? No, Miss Fengji, no." Snake then began to deny Fengji's previous words, "Ninja is the worst profession, there is no worse profession than this."

"Of course—" she drew a long tone, "Guys who really want to experience freedom can also defect, but their faces are all on the reward list."

"..." Feng Ji's eyes were full of shock, and then the shock turned into guilt.

It was the first time she talked with a ninja for such a long time before she realized that maybe her previous cognition was wrong.

Or maybe it wasn't wrong, but the understanding of this person in front of her was deeper than that of ordinary ninjas, not so superficial, and it had already been imprinted in her heart.

"Then, why do you want to become a ninja?" Feng Ji's tone was serious, "If according to what you said, ninjas are like this, then it's better to be an ordinary person. No matter which village, you can't force a person to become a ninja Bar?"

"You're right, becoming an ordinary person is indeed a good choice." Snake agreed.

Wars between ninja villages usually avoid ordinary people.

"But what if someone hurts you?" Snake asked, "As an ordinary person, how should you resist?"

Feng Ji was stunned, she hadn't thought about this question.

"Only strength is enough." Snake stretched out his hand, clenched his fist and opened it again. "Strength is necessary. Only with strength can you do what you want to do, protect those important things, and explore everything. truth."

"All truth."

Feng Ji could clearly feel her fanaticism and obsession from a distance that was less than one person away.

How arrogant this kind of remarks are, but she somehow felt...

She can find it.

The so-called all truth.
