Konoha's Balanced Ninja System

dense forest at night

Keep moving forward, and you can see a part of the area suddenly opened up. Although there are few trees here, the grass is dense, and some unknown shrubs make it possible to hide a vitality under the ruins.

There is a full moon hanging in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth, illuminating a lonely shadow.

Hiiragi had never felt that the moon could be so round.

Sometimes, Hiiragi people will unnaturally think of their homeland, which is the most mysterious and colorful world, if it were not so miserable.

When I came here, I was given a new life, but the most important thing at the same time was that I had more companions who would care about each other.

To Hiiragi, this is the most precious thing.

"Swish"

There was a soft sound, and a figure quietly appeared behind Hiirao. With deep eyes and a melancholy face, it was Itachi.

"I'm going back to the village tomorrow, can't you sleep?"

"Yes."

Hiiragi was still looking at the full moon in the sky.

Although he had sneaked into the village once before to save Itachi, it was different from Akira, because this time he went back openly.

Itachi slowly walked to Hiirato without saying anything. He glanced at Hiirato from the corner of his eye and felt slightly moved in his heart.

Because when Itachi saw Hiiragi Oyo, there was a hint of sadness in his calmness.

And really looking at the moon carefully.

This is really strange for a guy who often speaks incomprehensibly.

But Itachi knew very well that the guy in front of him must be serious and reliable in important matters.

Hiiragi had to think about Ming's battle, because it would definitely be a tough battle. No matter the hidden Zetsu or Obito with the Rinnegan Eye, they were both extremely difficult characters to deal with. If you were not careful, you might die, let alone return it. There's that old guy Danzo.

It is completely impossible to be stress-free, but Hiirato will never feel scared.

Because Hiiragi knew that he would never allow himself to lose the most important thing in his life, which was something he had never felt in the land before.

Itachi didn't say anything, and neither did Hiirato. The two just stayed there in silence, with only the moonlight shining on the two of them, making them all white.

"It's time to get back to business."

After an unknown amount of time, Hiirato finally jumped off the ruins of the wall and moved slowly towards the tunnel entrance.

Itachi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then followed Hiirato in a flash.

The guards naturally ignored the two of them, and they just walked into the tunnel and hall until they reached the door of the deepest room.

"Squeak."

The door to the room was pushed open directly, and Hiirato strode in.

Itachi's expression was a little helpless, because at this moment, Hiirato's sad aura disappeared in an instant, and returned to his previous carefree appearance.

This rough way of opening the door made Queran, who was resting inside, wake up, and Nagato, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

Nagato struggled to get up, took a breath, and then rested his head.

But he didn't ask anything, because he knew that since Hiiragi was here, he would naturally do it.

Hiirato sat carelessly on the chair closest to him. He waited until he was completely comfortable before speaking.

"Your name is Nagato, right?"

Before Nagato could reply, Hiirato answered first, "No need to deny it, because Nan already called out your name in his anxiety."

"your business."

Nagato didn't want to have any unnecessary nonsense with Hiirato. If it hadn't been for the fact that the enemy was at peace, Nagato would never have been so close to an enemy.

And Hiirato didn't care at all about Nagato's attitude.

"Of course, I have something to do with you."

Hiirato looked around and said with a hint of exaggeration in his tone, "You can take a good look at it. The environment here is the best place to support you. In addition, the place is hidden and there are so many people taking care of it. This place is perfect." Flawless”

Nagato was speechless, waiting for the key points of Hiirato's next sentence.

Hiirato ignored him and continued to mind his own business.

"I took great risks to take you in, regardless of provoking a powerful enemy who could injure you."

Nagato still said nothing, but frowned slightly.

"so"

At this moment, Hiirato suddenly changed the subject, "Aren't you going to do something to express your gratitude?"

"Humph"

Hearing that Hiirato finally hit the point, Nagato snorted coldly.

"What do you want to do"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm the best person to negotiate terms."

Hiirato smiled, and then continued: "There is a big war in Konoha, I think you can use some strength."

Nagato closed his eyes and fell silent, his face darkening.

What Hiiragi said was obvious, because Nagato himself was seriously injured and couldn't help much even if he wanted to, so Hiiragi was naturally not referring to Nagato, but Nan, who was inseparable from Nagato.

Of course, Nagato knew that he brought Nan along specially to restrain himself.

Nagato fell into silence, and Hiirato said nothing, just looked at Nagato with an indifferent expression.

"I go."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door. It was Nan. She had already heard the sound of Nagato's door being pushed open.

"The South American beauty is still considerate."

After hearing this, Hiiragi turned around and smiled at Nan.

However, Nan's face was very cold. She stopped talking and leaned in front of Nagato.

Hiirato had achieved his goal and had no intention of staying any longer and was ready to leave.

Itachi had not said a word since he stepped in here, and he followed behind with a calm expression on his face.

"Are you gathering these S-class rebel ninjas from various countries that I have chosen to form a force and then protect others?"

Just when Hiirato was half a step out of the room, Nagato suddenly spoke on his own initiative.

Hiiragi retracted his steps, turned around, and said with great interest.

"So what?"

"Huh, childish."

Hiirato's words hadn't completely finished, but just now, Nagato's cold snort came out.

"Yeah"

When Hiirato heard this, he suddenly wasn't ready to leave. He came back and sat down again, "I really want to hear how childish you are."

Normally, Nagato would not talk to anyone like this, but after Hiirato responded to him without hesitation, Nagato suddenly seemed to see himself in the past, and most importantly, his best friend, Yahiko.

"If you want to truly protect others, the most fundamental thing is to resolve the war."

"Then how to solve the war?"

Nagato didn't raise his head, still closing his eyes slightly.

"What you are doing now, I have tried it a long time ago, and it is the stupidest thing."

"Then what's the wise thing to do?"

Of course, Nagato could hear the hidden sarcasm in Hiirato's words, but his face was calm and his heart was not affected.

"To achieve permanent peace, only violence that crushes all violence can breed peace in the cycle of pain."

This concept has obviously taken root deep in Nagato's heart, so much so that when it came out, Nagato even couldn't help shouting.

However, Hiirato was not moved at all. On the contrary, after Nagato shouted these words with trembling excitement, Hiirato immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation.

"Haha, eternal peace is really ridiculous."

"The only people who can add the word "eternal" in front of peace are lunatics and fools.

After saying the last sentence of indifference, Hiirato got up again and left.
