Poverty Alleviation Princess 2

The day the tunnel was fully dug, there was considerable confusion.

People who were crying and laughing inside, and people who wanted to watch the excitement outside—of course, for safety reasons, non-staff members were not allowed to enter.And digging through the tunnel is not the end of the project, at best it can only be said to be a major progress.

But, who cares?

People are just basking in the joy of success now.

They accomplished the impossible.

They have accomplished things that they thought they would never be able to do.

People are celebrating.

But others have calmed down.

Because follow-up projects such as cleaning the exit, filling supports, laying roads, etc. are waiting.It's just that compared to the big project of "digging through", they seem very ordinary.

As for the follow-up work such as data and report collation, that is a later matter.

They wouldn't even be mentioned if it was a work of individual heroism.

After all, the story will always end in a scene like "the hero defeated the devil" and held high the sword among the ruins.

But thankfully this is not the story of a personal hero.

People don't need to pin their hopes and dreams on a certain person.

Like this mountain tunnel.

Among the people who built him were Ninja sects and moon residents who had Chakra, and ordinary people without Chakra.

Everyone does their part in it, and they work together to complete the work.

As for the ending part, someone is naturally responsible.

The follow-up finishing and reporting work was done by Indra and Otsutsuki Yuto.They didn't forget their own work, and they put an end to the work rigorously and completely—but in front of such an achievement, the two of them couldn't help being excited.It also took longer than usual to report and explain.

No one will fault them at this point though.

Even if the words are upside down and absent-minded, everyone will not care.At least Ah Yuan doesn't care.

They are all young people in full swing, who hasn't had a moment of ecstasy and excitement?

"Thank you for your hard work...and congratulations. You are the contributors to this century-old project."

After listening to their reports, A Yuan smiled and congratulated them.

"It's nothing."

Now that Otsutsuki Yuto came back to his senses, he was a little shy.

Although he has also contributed, but he insists that his contribution is the most prominent...he is not so cheeky.

Unexpectedly, the first person to respond to him was Indra:

"No, this is your achievement, and you can be proud of it."

"Yes, is it..."

Otsuki Yuto blinked, unable to react for a moment.If it was at the beginning, he would definitely hold his chest up and accept this compliment without hesitation.

After all, he is completely different from the people on land. The person who inherited his father's noble white eyes certainly deserves this praise.

But now, in front of Indra, this is...

In his opinion, when it comes to contributions and achievements, the man in front of him is the well-deserved number one.

Whether it is the difficulty of work or efficiency, he is ashamed of himself.So to be praised, he must be the first one.

He always felt weird to be praised by such a person.

"Yes, you can be proud."

A Yuan also confirmed with a smile, she stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

"You see, these traces are evidence."

Otsutsuki Yuto's originally white and slender hands are now full of scars and thick calluses.That is the proof and feat after he went all out again and again.

"You've done everything you can."

"That's it." Otsutsuki Yuto closed his fingers together and clenched them into fists.

...To be honest, I was really happy.

It might be the happiest day of his life.

Even if he inherits from his father in the future... no, even if there is a day, he will definitely not be as satisfied as he is today.

The body seemed to be filled with warm gas, as if it might fly up at any time.

Throughout his life, it will be difficult to have a second time.

Not as 'father's heir', nor as 'owner of white eyes', but just as Otsutsuki Yuto, with his own body and perseverance to complete this job.

"The same goes for Indra, it's amazing."

Compared to Otsutsuki Yuto who joined halfway, Indra is the one who has worked steadily and steadily from the beginning to today, whether it is saving people or building houses, or not letting him use chakra and acting like ordinary people. With his hand on his shoulders, he never questioned or complained.

——It is very difficult to know.

For people who use chakra as if they are eating with someone, this is equivalent to bringing people back from the era of agricultural machinery to the original shoulder-carrying.

If you don't have a firm will and execution, you can't do it anyway.

Indra just shook his head.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I still have a lot to learn."

The more he does, the more he realizes his shortcomings.

both method and efficiency.

Or perception of the world.

It would be too narrow to only focus on Ninja and the use of Chakra.Indeed, if you let go of Chakra and let them operate with all their strength, many things must be much easier than they are now.

But in that case, the insights they gained would definitely not be as profound as they are now.

Even many things that should be noticed will be ignored because the process is too fast.

"Okay, I won't keep you guys."

Looking at the sky outside, A Yuan patted the shoulders of the two and pushed them away.

"Everyone must be waiting for you."

She said with a smile, and exerted a little more force on her hands.The two who were not prepared to resist her were pushed towards the door for several steps.

?What are we waiting for?

The two walked out the door in a daze, and saw their younger brothers waiting outside. As soon as they saw them coming out, they immediately interrupted their original conversation and happily greeted them.

"Just wait for brother."

"Brother, come quickly!" The two were surrounded by their younger brothers in a daze and came to the newly built sunken square.

A grand bonfire was lit again in the square.I don't know when it started, lighting a bonfire during celebrations has become a habit in this village.

It has continued from the Bieyuan to the present.

The new square was built, and it naturally became the best place for people to gather and celebrate.

But the hidden thing standing in the center of the square is more eye-catching than the bonfire.Objects taller than a person stood there quietly, and it was impossible to guess their real bodies from their flat shapes.

"I'm coming!"

Seeing them coming, the people in the square became active.

"Come here!"

Someone greeted by the campfire.

"Don't go to their side, our side is doing barbecue!"

On the other side, there were also people holding meat to invite them warmly.

The village that was once very strange and hostile to the three Otsutsuki brothers has gotten along as harmoniously as their own hometown at some point.

People greeted them with a smile, and they responded with a smile to everyone who walked by.

Some children dragged them to share their joy on twitter, and some young adults showed them their exercised muscles.

"Did you work so hard because you wanted to see this scene?"

Otsutsuki Yuto looked at his younger brothers who were surrounded, and asked Indra softly.

"No." Indra shook his head, "I like this kind of scene, but I tried my best to do everything at first, but I didn't want to be popular or be appreciated by anyone."

Just like when he was in the ninja sect, he didn't think about being thanked by anyone, so what he does now is not out of any kind of reward.

Maybe at the beginning there was still a little idea of ​​wanting to be recognized by my father, but now it has disappeared.

He got something more precious than that.

——In this way, he could finally make that decision.

When the celebration was halfway through, someone stood in front of them.

"what's up?"

In such an environment, Indra's breath became much softer.If there is anything that needs help, he will certainly help if he can.

"Come with us!"

Calamus came out from behind and grabbed Indra's hand.

On the other side, her older brother Toshio also held Otsutsuki Yuto's hand and stood up.

Then, surrounded by people, they came to the thing standing abruptly in the center of the square.

"This is?"

Indra raised his eyebrows, it seems that they are so mysterious that they want him to see this?

"This is..." The young man in the lead scratched his head, with a look of embarrassment that he didn't know how to speak.

"It's...our intention."

The young woman next to him spoke out for him.

"You have helped us so much, and we don't know how to thank you."

Seeing that Indra opened his mouth to say something, she quickly interrupted him.

"I know this may not be a big deal to Lord Indra and your companions, but we can't say nothing." She said with a shy smile, "So we thought of this matter ...Miss Yuan also agreed, but because we are clumsy, we did it today."

As she spoke, she pulled off the cover covering it.The following 'truth' was revealed.

It was a stele.

A larger and thicker 'Monument of Honor' than before.

And on the top, their names are impressively engraved.

And not only Indra and Asura, but the names of the three Otsuki brothers are also on it.

The names of the five people are at the highest position, and anyone standing in front of the monument can see them.

Indra froze.

Otsuki Yuto was also speechless.

"Because it was our intention, Master Uchiha was not asked to help this time." The woman was still talking, and the people around her also started to explain in a hurry.

"Yes, we did it all ourselves."

"It's because we don't have the power of Lord Uchiha, so we didn't do that well."

Indeed, compared to Uchiha Madaragiri's mirror-like stele, the surface of the stele in front of him is much rougher.The shape is also not that regular.

But every corner has been carefully cleaned, even the small depressions are clean, without any dust.

Although the surface is not smooth enough, it doesn't have any edges and corners to the touch. This is the effect that can only be achieved after being carefully polished.

This is by no means a whim, a job that can be completed in a day or two.

"When will you..."

"I've had an idea since the last Hall of Fame monument was destroyed."

The young man who spoke first said.

"Didn't everyone who came to the Ninja sect feel very sad at that time? We just thought about making another one someday."

"Other than that, there is nothing we can do for adults." He said with a silly smile, "After all, everything we do now is done with the help of adults."

Whether it's liberty, a house, a road, or a field.

They would have nothing without grown-ups.

"but we……"

Hiroto Otsuki, who also saw the name on the stele, stammered.

"We are the ones who caused you to rebuild the village."

"You guys are working too." The man said without any embarrassment on his face. "There are also caves and tunnels, and a lot of effort has been put into it."

"Later it also taught us how to protect ourselves against the enemy."

——This is something they never dared to imagine.

For ordinary people, they just want to live a good life and not be targeted by robbers and bandits.

As for resistance, it is unthinkable.

They also don't have the ability to think about it. After all, the bandits kill people without blinking an eye. What are they going to use to fight against others?But now it is different, they have the power, and they have the possibility to resist.

"So it's us who want to thank you."

"I... my..."

Hiroto Otsutsuki blushed and couldn't say a word.

But no one would laugh at him.

There are only smiling faces blooming around him, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

Ahhh.

Hiroto Otsuki covered his face.

It's great to be here.

That's great.

In the second half of the celebration, Otsutsuki Hagoromo also came out of his room.

People are immersed in happiness, and no one cares about him as a "suspicious person".

He walked slowly to the newly erected stone tablet, staring blankly at the name on it.

Indra walked up to Otsutsuki Hagoromo who was looking at the stone tablet in the middle in a daze.

"Father."

Looking at the "Roll of Honor Monument" erected in front of him and the names written on it, Indra finally made up his mind.

"I will go to the village you mentioned to solve the problem." He looked straight at Otsutsuki Yuyi, meeting his gaze.

For a long time, he would want to avoid his father's eyes, because there were too many complicated emotions in those eyes.

As if looking at something.

Indra didn't like it very much, it felt like he was denied.

But now he doesn't care anymore.

Whether it is his father or Ninja, they are no longer the whole of his life.Now he has more things to do.

"Then I'll travel the world."

Indra's lips curled up.He was sure of what he said, but his expression was unprecedentedly relaxed.Like a bird that has broken free from its shackles and is about to spread its wings and fly.

Saying this sentence is easier than I imagined.

Indra felt a sense of relief as if some heavy burden had been lifted from his body.I even began to wonder what the original entanglement was for.

"Indra?" Otsutsuki Yuromo looked at his son who said this in surprise.

"I want to use these eyes to see the world, and maybe one day I will go to the moon." This is the thought I had on the day of the duel with Otsuki Yuto. "The current Asura is enough to support Ninja Sect."

As he has said countless times, he has never hated his younger brother, but because he always does things without thinking and is too naive, he always reprimands him, hoping that Asura can make progress.

If Asura has always been like that, then he will never let Ninzong go anyway.But it's different now.

Asura has grown to the point where he can reassure himself.Maybe he is still jerky in doing things, but he has enough perseverance and enthusiasm to complete his work, and he has become a lot more mature in his thinking-at least he is no longer so easy to be deceived.

Indra felt that he had nothing to let go of.

He wanted to go to more places, to see what the land that raised Yuto Otsutsuki was like.

I also want to know how it feels to see the land where I was born from the moon.

Compared with guarding the land of Ninja, Indra felt that he had more things to do.

Datsuki Yuyi's heart felt cold.

He understood the meaning of Indra's words, but it was precisely because of this that he was at a loss.

Although Otsuki Yuyi has been wondering whether Indra can inherit Ninja from a very early age.But that's only because Indra's character has become more and more withdrawn and cold.

He never thought about the fact that his son would leave Ninzong.

This is his home and his foundation. No matter who inherits the two brothers, the other person can completely serve as an auxiliary job.Even if there are frictions and misunderstandings in the middle, they will definitely be able to reconcile as before with the passage of time.

He has always thought so.

until today.

However, Indra did not give him a chance to persuade him, and before his father said anything else, he spoke first: "I will come back to see you when I have time."

"Then, I'll go first." He said, bowing to his father, who was once his role model and also the one he pursued all the way, "I'm leaving tomorrow, the activities in the village are very lively, father can also enjoy it .”

After speaking, Indra took two steps back, turned and left.

He quickly disappeared into the lively crowd.

The hand that Otsutsuki Yuromo had raised just now fell into the air.

"Father! You are here!" It was the lively voice of the youngest son that woke him up.

"Asura, you're here too."

Otsutsuki Yuromo responded with encouragement.

"Did you have fun?"

"Yeah!" Asura, who has participated in several activities, nodded happily, "I danced the torch dance with others, and went to drink some wine... Ah, and this."

He brought out the garlands the children had made of wild flowers and weed stems.It's a rough wreath.

Because it is a child's handicraft, and the flowers are also common wild flowers in the wild, they are not really beautiful.But Ashura was very careful.

"It was given to me by the children."

"This is a precious gift." Otsutsuki Yuyi also laughed.

"Yes." Asura smiled, showing a row of neat big white teeth. "I'm going to dry it out and keep it and take it with me as luggage."

"That's right, it's a good decoration to put in your room, Ninzong." Otsutsuki Yuromo nodded in relief, thinking that his son finally wanted to go home.

That's right, the work here is done, and they have no reason to stay here anymore.

However, Asura blinked:

"I'm not going back to the Ninja sect."

Otsutsuki Yuyi's smile froze: "Huh?"

"I made an agreement with Yuren, let's go together to clean up the mess for father."

"Remnant, endgame?"

"That's right, it's the problem left by your father when you were young."

"When I was young?" Otsuki Yuyi became more confused the more he listened.

How did he leave problems when he was young?Still need Asura to clean up the mess?

"It's because you didn't clean it up back then, and now the sacred tree that's causing trouble is ruined." Asura thought his father was ashamed to mention it, so he smiled heartily, "Didn't you say that my brother and I should be alone? I've made an agreement with Yuren, He helps me, we will go to both villages, so that my brother can go back to the Ninja sect with you."

Asura thought well.

Anyway, inheriting Ninzong is the elder brother's business, so there is no need for him to stay in Ninzong all the time.Instead, you are free to do what you want to do.

He wants to travel around the world.While walking, clean up the scars left by the past war on the earth.Asura thought of the scene he saw a long time ago when he was choosing the site for the village.

Perhaps since then, he has had such an idea.It's just that at that time he hadn't thought about the idea of ​​"leaving Ninja".Just follow Miss Yuan, she will do whatever she says.

But it's different now.

He has more things to do.Anyway, Ninzong has an older brother, so he can go to places where he is needed more.

Whether it is the devastated villages and farmlands that were smashed, or the roads cut off by falling rocks.

He has plenty of strength, and he can clean up while walking after his father's problem is solved.

If one year is not enough, two years are enough, and if two years are not enough, three, four, or even ten years can be used.

The world's strongest brother is in charge of Ninja's affairs, so he will not worry at all.That way he can even spend his whole life doing what he wants to do.

"you--"

Otsutsuki Yuyi stared at his youngest son, who was worry-free, and was speechless for a long time.

Asura spoke more and more smoothly: "Don't worry, I learned a lot from Miss Yuan, and I can solve it myself."

He patted his chest and assured him: "Besides, I'm not alone, there are Yuren helping me."

"If it doesn't work, I can still write to my brother for help."

Asura has never arranged his future so clearly, but at this moment, he feels particularly fulfilled.

Brother was right, his past was too muddled.

People really should have a clear goal.Only in this way can life feel bright and full.

"So father, don't worry! When I'm free, I'll come back to see you!" Against the backdrop of the fire, Asura's smile was extraordinarily bright.

That was Otsutsuki Hagoromo's favorite smile in the past.

But seeing this scene again today, he couldn't be happier.

He didn't even bother to refute "That's not a problem left by me when I was young", but just frowned, "You mean, you also want to leave Ninzong?"

--and also?

Asura froze for a moment, but didn't bother with a single word.

He shook his head: "Didn't my father say that as long as there is Chakra, we will be together no matter how far apart? Then how can I say that I left Ninja?"

He looked at his father with a look of helplessness.

This is obviously what my father often said, how come he has forgotten it now?

Is it because of getting old?

Asura thought of the conversation he had overheard in the village by chance.

It seems to mean that my parents are getting old and starting to forget things.

Is this a common problem of the elderly?Even such a powerful father was not spared.

He got it.

"It's okay father, I will write to you often."

Write more letters, so that father will not forget it.

Otsuki Yuromo was stiff all over, not knowing how to respond.But Asura took his silence as acquiescence.

So he smiled and scratched the back of his neck: "Then, father, I'll go back and prepare the salute I'm going to bring. You have to have fun!"

After finishing speaking, he ran away in a rattling manner, halfway through the run, he still didn't forget to turn around and wave to his father, and then he ran out of the crowd sullenly.

In the lively crowd, the surroundings are full of singing and dancing laughter, but Otsutsuki Yuromo has no intention of admiring it.He stared stiffly at the direction in which his son was leaving, his expression gradually petrified.

Like a hopeful stone, he raised his hand emptily, but he couldn't grasp anything.

On the same night, the three Otsutsuki brothers also started their internal meeting.

As the elder brother, Otsutsuki Yuto cleared his throat: "So, who will come first?"
