Neji had no idea that Hanzo of the Salamander was threatening Nagato.

At most, this is the information brought back by Uzumaki Naruto.

But there is one thing Neji knows, Yahiko's death is a regret for Konan and Nagato.

And what Nagato looked like after he turned into what he is now is also a regret for Konan.

If he wants to avoid regrets, Yahiko cannot die.

If Yahiko had not died, would Nagato have made such an extreme choice as summoning the Outer Path Demon?

Nagato gambled his life, gambled everything, at that moment.

Just to kill the Salamander Hanzo.

This was Nagato’s second pain, the death of Yahiko.

The death of a close friend is as great as the death of a parent.

"Boss, what do you want to buy?"

Neji tapped his fingers twice on the fabric closest to him - the action was familiar.

Often during wartime, the fabrics displayed outside the store were either unsaleable or the cheapest.

All the good things were put away by the owner underground - who knows when war will break out and destroy this unknown little shop?

Business has to be done, and a big boss who knows the goods will not just walk away just because they are not on display.

After all, we all live in this era. If he, a small shop owner, understands things, the big boss will understand them.

"Tsk."

The shop owner squeezed out a syllable from between his teeth and turned his back to Neji.

Seeing that he was well dressed, I thought he was a distinguished guest, but it was a waste of time!

The old lady next door said that the people of Konoha are rich, but now someone wearing Konoha clothes comes, isn't he still so poor that he can only afford the outermost clothes?

This kind of thing doesn't even hurt if it's blown up.

"This cloth has ready-made clothes. Do you want to buy it?"

The owner didn't wait for Neji to answer. He just sat down on the small stool behind the cash register, leaving only his slightly reflective bald head exposed to serve customers.

"Then I'll trouble you."

The store manager picked out a piece of pure white ready-made clothing with only some black patterns on the edges from the corner.

The clothes were spread out in front of Neji, just a formality.

Without even shaking off the dust, the boss put it into a cloth bag.

"It's two thousand yuan in total. Please keep it, boss."

Honorific language is the last professional quality of the store owner in troubled times.

No money, no business.

On the contrary, it is the simplest clothes like this that will be unsalable.

I remember that my shop used to be busy from morning till night, how could it be this desolate scene now?

The shop owner held his eyes, then reluctantly looked up at Neji again.

But just speaking as a store manager, this guy really deserves this outfit.

He doesn't read much. There seems to be a saying: simple but not simplistic.

The owner really isn't well-educated - he looks good in anything.

The girl walked out from the underground holding the newly made clothes, looked at the bald shop owner, and then at Neji.

"Dad, the boss's money is right in front of you! Stop staring at him! Get to work."

How much is two thousand yuan?

Four five hundred dollar coins.

"Coins are still the mainstream at this time..."

The girl casually piled the clothes on her father's face and put away the money. "Boss, if you need to change money, you still have to go to the bank. We small businesses don't have paper money."

The girl's eyes were fixed on the money tied around Neji's waist - if he was right, it should be full of coins.

The era of copper coins has just passed, and now it is the era of paper money.

"The direction you are heading to is where Hanzo is active, right? If you want to stay alive, you'd better prepare some banknotes in advance."

"That guy only takes advantage of the rich. If you're just passing by, 10,000 yuan can save your life."

"Haruna, stop talking!"

The bald shop owner stopped his daughter, and when he turned to Neji, the boy had already walked away with the things.

"He's really quick..."

The boss muttered to himself.

"Beep beep!"

"Beep beep!"

002 suddenly started to alarm: "Detected that the target mission is about to show regret, unwillingness and other emotions, please be prepared!"

Neji then picked up the hat from a street stall and covered his head with it.

The boy's figure seemed to pause, and the original awkward movements were skillfully erased.

The stall owner blinked his eyes, thinking it was an illusion.

Two shiny coins landed smoothly in the hands of the stall owner.

“Thank you for your patronage!”

There was no price marked on the edge of the hat, but the person in front of me could easily throw out just the right number of coins.

The stall owner is not surprised by this - there are all kinds of people in this world.

What’s more, he is a foreigner wearing Konoha clothes?

The young man was like a gust of wind, blowing past the stall.

There was a slight pain in the wrist, hidden under the numbness from excessive blood loss.

It's been a long time since Neji has had the habit of carrying a knife with him.

But when he left Konoha, he asked Tsunade for a knife for some unknown reason.

The shape of a coin was hidden inside the bundle of money, and no one could find it except Neji.

This was not the first time. The street scene in front of him was no longer unfamiliar, and Neji was familiar with what the bald shop owner was going to say next.

But I just can't find it.

What is causing the target person to regret.

"Beep beep!"

"Target person detected..."

002's alarm suddenly stopped. It seemed to be thinking about something.

From the first time, that's it.

After thinking, there is the end.

Five, four, three, two...

One.

Neji counted down silently in his mind, and when he counted the last number, 002 also ended his thinking.

sense of violation.

The system also seems to join in the reboot - is it originally like this?

Neji didn't know, he just tightened his grip on the coin-shaped knife in his hand.

"Regret has occurred. According to the system, the mission is about to fail."

"Host, please complete the process within thirty minutes."

A red countdown appeared in front of Neji, but he didn't even know where Nagato and the others were.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the boy ran through the streets and alleys.

Where can you go in half an hour?

The answer is that you can go everywhere and at the same time you can go nowhere.

"You have twenty minutes left."

The mark of Flying Thunder God was not on Nagato, and at the time of farewell, Neji had not yet obtained the ability of Flying Thunder God.

The first time, he searched the street where he lived.

The second time, spread outward from the center.

...

And this time, Neji ran through all the places where humans gathered.

He walked through the familiar streets again, leaving an impression on every place.

Beyond that was the main fighting zone - half ruins, half mountainous area.

Where would Jiraiya take the child?

Ningji didn’t know, so he could only keep searching and restarting.

"You have ten minutes left."

The boy stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down, and on one side was the place where the Sannin and Salamander Hanzo were fighting.

On the other side is bottomless darkness.

The open space where the battle took place that day is now packed with ninjas wearing various forehead protectors.

The collision of weapons and the clash of escape techniques were a hundred times more intense than the battle at that time.

The process of elimination has a default underlying rule.

Easy first and then difficult.

It’s a pity that Ningji’s luck doesn’t seem to be very good.

Behind the battle zone is the uninhabited mountain top.

And that was the only place left that hadn’t been searched.

The battle zone is no longer a place where a kid could slip away like before. Ninjas from all the villages have already arrived, and although the most elite have left now, it was only because of tactical needs.

If you want to pass through the war zone in a short period of time and succeed in one go, only a master like Jiraiya can do it.

"You have five minutes left."

002's voice pressed Neji's heart to the ground. Just as he was about to jump up, it was ruthlessly pressed back.

The boy put on the clothes in the cloth bag, and the black lace swayed in the wind like waves.

The waves rise and the tide falls.

The young man leaped forward and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

...

"Oh, that's surprising!"

Yahiko scratched his head and glanced at Nagato with some pride: "What did I say! I told you not to believe in Konan and me."

A young man in his early thirties still looks like a child.

Childish desire to prove everything.

"What Xiaonan saw..."

Nagato's desire to win was aroused, and he retorted like he did when they were children, but Konan stopped him with a look.

The woman's sixth sense told her that she couldn't say what she saw.

"Well! Even though such a strange thing happened!"

Yahiko began to try to change the subject. One second it was a ghost story, and the next second it became a documentary.

The little yellow-haired boy who was listening to the story was dumbfounded.

"Don't you find it weird?"

"Hmm? What's so weird about that?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes in disbelief: "People from the past suddenly appear, and then suddenly disappear!"

Yahiko nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense..."

"But..."

Yahiko and his two companions looked at each other, and the pronunciation of the last word was prolonged with an ambiguous tone.

"Right..."

Xiaonan also nodded.

"yes..."

Nagato nodded with difficulty using his skinny body.

"If it's that person, it always feels like anything is possible, right?"

Yahiko stared at Naruto and repeated, "Right?"

Judging from the way Naruto looked at Nora just now and the name he called out, Yahiko didn't believe that Uzumaki Naruto had nothing to do with Nora.

"Jiraiya-sensei said earlier that he made a deep impression on Tsunade-sama."

Honorifics are Tendo Pain's greatest stubbornness.

"In the words of Lady Tsunade:

A mysterious wandering merchant, selling miracles."

"But he is obviously not a wandering businessman!"

Yahiko said this with a smile, but saw the yellow-haired kid's expression that looked like he was about to cry.

"Hello? What's wrong with you?"

From the moment it was Yahiko's turn to speak, it was Yahiko who was talking.

There's nothing we can do, it's God's will.

"you're right..."

"If it's that guy, anything is possible."

Whether it is familiar or unfamiliar.

Either it was translucent or it flashed by.

That person is that person.

"Speaking of..."

Seeing that the kid was about to cry, Yahiko decided to tell him another story.

"He was actually here when Nagato used his Rinnegan to save me."

“It was only later that we found out.”

"Xiao Nan was sad about this for a long time before!"

"Yahiko!"
