Naruto's two-color pupils

Chapter 22 Mountain Village

so what?How do we leave?

This is what we need to discuss seriously now.

"Anyway, we have to find Pan Youlang first." Ze Ren said.

"Didn't you see him before?" I asked.

I wiped the blood on my legs with my hands, and the blood smeared on my palms.Zeren looked into my eyes.

"Yes, but after coming out of the water," he scratched his chin with his right hand, "I didn't see him again."

He glanced at me.

"Ah, yes." He suddenly smiled and took something out of his pocket and handed it to me, "I found this."

I reached out and took it, it was my forehead protector.It was completely wet and still dripping.However, when I see it, I can't help but think of those things that I have recalled countless times.I was silent, just looking at the forehead protector quietly.

"One day, I will also compete with you." He said with a smile, "Let's see who is stronger between the two of us."

"This kind of thing..." A kind of inferiority complex emerged in my heart, "Do we still need to compare?"

I put the forehead protector in my pocket and noticed that the bandage on my arm was dry.I removed a section of the bandage from my arm and simply covered my right eye.Zeren looked into my eyes until I stopped what I was doing.He knew why I covered my eyes and pretty much everything about it.So, it doesn't matter even if he sees it.

He suddenly laughed again: "Are you afraid of me?"

"I'm quite afraid of you." I said honestly.It is indeed not a safe thing to deal with an assassin. Who knows if I will appear in his book.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" He suddenly changed the topic.

I was a little confused and said, "Of course."

A smile appeared on his face: "I originally wanted to stay here and play for a while."

"Play for a while?" I couldn't believe it. "I don't want to stay here for one more minute." I said while wiping the water off my clothes.

He turned his head, looked at the dazzling sunlight, and finally said: "I think something is wrong with this place."

I look at him.

"what?"

"I say, there's something wrong with this place," he said loudly.

"Everything is a problem in this place."

"Look at this..." He pointed to the sun.

I hesitated for a moment, half-covered my eyes with my hands, and looked there.Suddenly I realized that Zeren was right, it was indeed strange.

"This is not the sun..." I said.

"Yes." He smiled, "This is probably something that can only be seen a few hundred years later."

"Yes..." I felt that the sunlight was strange. There was no warmth, only brightness. "Is it a machine?"

Also, it looks transparent with some gray stuff inside.

"So I said, it's something that can only be seen hundreds of years later." He said, "It's interesting, right? The so-called coming to another world turns out to be a time travel."

"Is there no one in this place?" I lowered my head, my eyes hurting from the light.

"Yes." He said, "I saw it when I first came in, but...but these can't be connected..."

He suddenly hesitated, an expression of disbelief and uneasiness appearing on his face.

"I have seen the villages, but do you think that in a few hundred years, humans will still live in houses made of wood?" He turned to me and asked.

I shook my head: "There will be differences between regions. Maybe it's a poorer earth with less developed science and technology?"

He lowered his head and nodded.

"Your statement is valid..." He smiled again, "How about we go and take a look?"

"My clothes are still wet." I complained, "Besides, have you forgotten that Pan Youlang is still here?"

"I wish he would sneak up on us," he said, standing up. "The clothes will be dry in a while."

I looked down and saw that indeed, the clothes were half dry, leaving some white marks that looked like salt.This should be the function of the sun.But if the sun can evaporate water so quickly, how can the lake still exist?This can't help but make people confused.

I also stood up and patted the ashes and salt on my clothes.

"Are you feeling well?" he asked.

I moved my legs and arms and felt a pain: "It's not a big problem."

He turned his head slightly and smiled: "If you die again, I won't be able to save you..."

I laughed.

He also laughed.

I stood up and walked a few steps with difficulty, and immediately felt a pain in my legs.I twitched and gasped.

Zeren looked back at me and asked calmly: "Do you want me to carry you?"

I declined his kindness: "No."

A smile appeared on his face again.

"Ah," he said lightly, with a treacherous smile on his lips, "people like you will die sooner or later..."

"No one will die..." I was not unhappy because of what he said, "You are the same after all..."

The rolling mountains in front are dotted with green, and at the foot of the mountains is the saltwater lake.A touch of blue-green and the pure blue of the sky look bright and refreshing, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling.There are no clouds in the sky, only a fake sun shining with sunlight.We have been walking for about an hour, and the fireball is still in the same position as at noon, without any change.I doubt this thing can move at all.Such a world is unimaginable. If the sun does not move and the lights are turned off at night, people will never see the glow.The reason why there are no clouds, according to my guess, is that the heat that makes people unable to feel the temperature evaporates them.

"I said, Zeren."

Zeren stopped and looked back at me: "What's the matter?"

"I think there are really a lot of strange things here..."

"What do you want to say?"

"If this is really the future world... then, do you think the environment will be so good in an era with such advanced technology?" I said slowly, looking at him.

He half-crouched on the ground, interrupted me and said, "Just take a rest."

I slowly sat on the ground to relieve the pain in my legs.The blood clot on the leg has been half dried, and is shiny red like a gem, with a fishy smell.I looked into the distance, and there was almost nothing except high mountains and blue lakes.Trees stand tall on the upper slopes, showing infinite vitality.The reflection of the mountains and rivers is indeed a beautiful and eerie scenery.I rubbed my eyes uneasily, the fresh air refreshing.

Ze Ren also looked where I was looking, with the corners of his mouth still slightly raised.Breeze

Then, his hair swept across his face and floated in the air.He held his wind-blown hair with his hands. From the back, he looked like a quiet girl.Who gave him long pink hair.My hair also swayed with the wind, fluttering in the flowing air, hitting my face, making me unable to open my eyes.

"Did you just mention the environment?" He suddenly turned around and asked.

"Yes."

He began to think, and after a while, he came to his own conclusion: "I think that when technology develops to a certain level, humans can create a beautiful environment by themselves without destroying it."

"But in our era, the environment has been destroyed a lot. Many underground areas have been hollowed out due to coal mining. Do you think this can still be saved?"

In fact, I feel that the environment has already been damaged to a certain extent by then, and this may be the only oasis in the world.But all this is just an assumption.

"Perhaps, there is nothing human beings want in this kind of deep mountains and old forests..." He looked very uncertain.

"Tree." I pointed to the hillside in front of me.

The green trees are shady, and the wind blows again, and the large green forest sways, like a green sea, with rippling green waves.Ze Ren looked ahead, sighed, and murmured: "I have never seen so many trees in my life. This shows how small the Kingdom of Wind is..."

I look at him.

"At that time, the forest area only accounted for less than 40% of the land area. That is obviously not the case here." I pointed out.

"Maybe this is the only place like this." He lay on the grass and took a breath.

"How come we are so lucky?" I sarcastically said.In fact, I have thought so too.I'm probably making fun of myself too.

Every time, Ze people said that maybe this was the case.

"There are no coincidences in the world, Hinata." Zeren turned his head and looked at me, smiling.

I sighed helplessly and crossed my arms: "I didn't mean that..."

At this time, the clothes on my body were completely dry, but it was still cold.Zeren looked fine. He probably ran too much and maybe felt hot.I rubbed my clothes, trying to get some warmth.

"Zeren," I said, without looking at him, "Why did you tell me about your role as an assassin?"

"Because I can't make up a reason for you to believe it," he said.

"You can say you came to save me." I was actually just comforting myself.

"It's so fake." His tone was filled with strong disdain.

"I think you have another purpose."

"Think too much."

"No. Then why didn't you say you only killed Pan Youlang, but also told me about your mission to assassinate others?" I suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the organizational language.

He was obviously stunned by my question.But I think Ze people are not that innocent yet - they can't even think of a reason to tell others state secrets.This also shows that he betrayed the Fifth Kazekage without even thinking about it.

"Nothing." He said a little excitedly.

I still didn't look up at him, but from what he said, I felt that he was in a hurry, as if he couldn't breathe.

I stopped asking him, because then I would hear more useless answers.Knowing those things is better than not knowing them.

"When are you going to continue walking?" I asked him.

We have been resting for almost 5 minutes.

"Okay!" He tilted his head and said.

I didn't say anything else, I just stood up and followed Zeren who took the first step.

We passed several mountains along the way. In order not to climb the mountain, we could only choose to walk on the saddle of the mountain.But sometimes it’s very difficult to climb up in that kind of place.When the wind blows, sand and rocks fly, because there is almost no grass growing in those places, but when you raise your head a little, you can see green trees and a sea of ​​​​forests above your head.Very weird.My legs were in severe pain and my feet often slipped, which greatly slowed down our movement.Zeren didn't look impatient, but he wasn't that patient.He seemed to look down on me, standing tall and looking down at me from above, with that sly smile still on his face.But never said anything.

I didn't say anything. I thought he was actually very patient.

However, I was still very dissatisfied with the look in his eyes - the indifference and relaxation on his face, as if he had originally determined that women are weak and sick people, and wanted help but pretended to be fine; it was a bit like that. Showing off or spurring me on.

About 2 hours later, this time we were halfway up the mountain.In fact, I have long suspected whether the village Zeren saw was in the direction he pointed.It didn't take him too much time to come over. Why did we have to go through so much trouble in the past?But I was wrong.

He held one hand on a stone that was several heads taller than him and looked into the distance, his long hair fluttering in the wind again.

"Here we are, Hinata." He said softly without looking back.

I didn't hear it completely, but I already knew what he meant.

"It's really a panoramic view from here..." he sighed.

I struggled to climb up the rocks and tree roots to reach him, putting my hands on my knees and panting.After a while, I looked up.A treeless plain, with a large stack of wooden houses neatly arranged in the middle like building blocks.It is divided by a straight river in the middle, which should be fresh water, I think.The forest next to the village is a few hundred meters away, and the trees in the nearby places are only stumps.The scorching sun is shining brightly on the earth.There is such a village behind the mountains. There are only about 15 or 16 houses in the whole village. The village is certainly not big.

From above, as Ze people said, it's all in sight.You can even see people planting tulips in their yards and daffodils visiting their windows.It was quiet, with only the chirping of birds and roosters, and occasionally the barking of dogs coming from the village. The village was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and it was a quiet and peaceful environment.At first glance, it turns out that someone lives there.Looking from a distance, several women walked out of a relatively large house.They were laughing, wearing aprons and holding wooden basins in their hands, walking slowly towards the river.

"Hey, a traditional ancient village." Zeren said.

I nodded silently.

They bent down and did not scoop out the water immediately. Instead, they first placed the wooden basin on the water, and the basin floated on it.They put their hands into the water. At first, they just seemed to be stirring the water to amuse themselves. Later, several people splashed water on each other and mingled happily.Everyone is probably in their 30s, but judging from their faces, they look very young.We stood quietly and watched from a distance, no one aware of our existence... except Pan Youlang.

Only then did I think of him.

"Ze Ren, is this where you come from?"

"Yes," he was sure this time, "I have been around here since I came in, just to the west of the village, in the forest."

"You said, is Pan Youlang here?"

"I don't know." He seemed to have been looking for Pan Youlang's existence, "but I know that I came here on time."

"Why?" I asked.

He looked at me and smiled.Then, he pointed to his head and said, "I speak from experience."
