Escape From Konoha

Seeing Xiaoxue who threw herself into his arms just after getting off the train, Baishi patted her on the back lightly, then pushed her away helplessly, and said:

"You're such a grown-up, don't jump on me at every turn. Didn't Mrs. Santa teach you how to be a qualified lady, Xiaoxue?"

Before Xiaoxue could open her mouth, she heard a rush of footsteps, and the third grandpa chased after her out of breath, just when she heard Baishi's words, she said, "Your Excellency Baishi, I wish more than anyone else. Your Highness can become an excellent lady only because of lack of discipline, His Highness has become more and more willful recently."

Facing the third wife's complaint, Xiaoxue gave him a hard look.

"Really? But, I haven't seen you for a while. Judging by your appearance, you are also getting old now, Mrs. Third."

Baishi smiled at the third husband.

Looking at the wrinkles on the third wife's face, there are many more wrinkles than a few years ago, and I can't help but sigh that time goes by.

"Yeah, I also feel that the young people nowadays are a bit too lively, especially Your Highness. If this continues, I feel ashamed of the late His Highness Zaoxue."

Seeing that the third husband was still wiping away tears while talking so provocatively, Xiaoxue was immediately speechless.

"The more you talk, the more outrageous you are, San Taifu. Even I want to relax occasionally. I always stay in an empty palace, and I will be out of touch with the times."

"That's better than showing your face outside."

The third husband smiled helplessly, but his tone was full of affection.

After all, the place they live in is indeed changing with each passing day.

I vaguely remember that more than ten years ago, the names of all countries were still symbols of sacredness and dignity.

Just like a high god, he does not eat the fireworks of the world.

But as time goes by, it is completely unacceptable to continue to maintain that kind of non-human setting and want to govern the country well.

After all, if a country's name stands too high, its image will be smaller in people's minds.

Therefore, at present, if the daimyo still wants to add the element of "god" to himself, it will not work at all.

Countries like the Kingdom of Ghosts, which can still use the power of witches and goddesses to maintain the rule of the country, can only be treated as an example after all, and it is difficult to copy and imitate.

"Okay, don't just talk about Xiaoxue, and then you can relax and relax."

Bai Shi laughed.

The date of the finals of the Joint Chunin Exam has been confirmed. Therefore, in the past few days, officials from all over the ninja world and well-known businessmen have rushed to the land of ghosts to watch the finals of the Joint Chunin Exam.

For such a grand event, the appearance of the neighboring Snow Country is naturally indispensable.

It's just that compared to the representatives from other countries, Xiaoxue and San Taifu were among the early arrivals.

"The final of the joint Chunin exam? It is indeed a grand event worth looking forward to."

The third wife nodded.

Although Snow Country did not participate in this joint Chunin exam, they also know the importance of this joint Chunin exam.

The mutual temptation between big countries is always done inadvertently.

As one of the three big countries in the western part of the mainland, the Ghost Country urgently needs to expand its influence to the outside world. As the organizer of the third test of the Joint Chunin Exam, it is a good opportunity to expand its influence.

Although the Kingdom of Ghosts experienced the War of the Wind Country before, most of the power displayed was actually concentrated in the few head ninjas of the military. The ability of the military ninja troops to participate in the war has not yet been well known by countries in the ninja world.

After the Land of Rain War, new weapons were sold to Hidden Rain Village in order to contain the Land of Fire. Although it also aroused great international repercussions, it was only remotely controlled behind the scenes. The main participants in the battle are the ninjas from Yuyin Village and the ninja troops from the Daming Mansion in the Land of Fire.

In the two extremely critical wars, the strength displayed by the ghost country is still an unsolved mystery.

The strength of the ninja at the head of the army of the ghost country is naturally valued by all countries. The various new weapons developed by it have also been highly recognized by the arms market.

The only thing that has not been determined yet, and remains to be seen, is the fighting power of the ninjas other than the head ninjas of the Ghost Kingdom's army.

Especially as a new generation of ninja, it can best reflect the potential of a ninja village.

And this potential, after several years of fermentation, will gradually form the mainstay of Ninja Village and become the cornerstone of Ninja Village's organization.

This principle also applies to the military of the country of ghosts.

Although San Taifu has great confidence in the new generation of ninjutsu cultivated by the army of the ghost country, but no matter how confident he is, he needs to witness it with his own eyes to feel completely at ease.

"Speaking of which, Asuka and the others don't seem to be here."

After circling around, Xiaoxue found that besides Shiraishi, there were only some government officials with familiar faces, and only Shiraishi was present with a close relationship with her.

"Asuka? He and Cai are currently undergoing five days of special training from Kazuki. After all, the two of them are going to represent the army of the ghost country to take the third exam. Before the finals, you probably won't see them both." gone."

Baishi led the way, and Xiaoxue and San Taifu also followed.

The ninjas from the Snow Country and the government officials from the Ghost Country followed closely behind and did not bother the three of them.

With Baishi present, they were not worried that some blind people would come to assassinate Xiaoxue, the great name of Snow Country, at such a time.

"Well, that's a pity. Thinking about it this way, the two mothers must have important things to deal with at this time."

When referring to her two mothers, Xiaoxue's tone obviously became a little subtle.

Shiraishi said vaguely: "Yeah, the two of them are indeed very busy, and I'm not at home very much these days, so you can stay at Ziyuan's place for the time being. It just so happens that she is quite boring alone at the shrine, you You can go and accompany her, so that she will not always sneak out of the shrine because she is bored."

Thinking of Ziyuan, Shiraishi suddenly had a headache.

Although like Xiaoxue, Ziyuan is also her adopted daughter, but in terms of self-willedness, she is even more self-willed than Xiaoxue.

And since there is no one around Shion who can restrain her, the witches around her are also very obedient to her wishes.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble, as time goes by, Baishi will turn a blind eye.

Because if you think about it seriously, the biggest use of Shion, as a witch, is to seal and suppress sprites when they make trouble again.

Other than that... It seems that as a witch, she really has nothing to do, and there is no obligation to fulfill.

This kind of willfulness is completely different from Maitreya, the previous generation of witches.

"Well, I see, then I won't bother my lord father. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ziyuan for a long time, so I'll attend with her then."

Xiaoxue brushed her hair and smiled slightly.

"Then I'll trouble you. I hope that child can calm down in the next few days and save me some trouble."

With Xiaoxue's promise, Baishi's mood cleared up a lot, and his walking pace also became brisk.

Thinking about it this way, I'm a little thankful that I didn't design some too troublesome characters when I created the avatar, otherwise so many 'children' would all make a fuss, and Baishi would feel dizzy just thinking about it.

"You... have you sneaked out again?"

The voice came from behind the huge stone gate, it was a long and ancient, unique tone full of vicissitudes.

It seems that as long as you hear it, your heart will be unnaturally captured by the owner of this voice.

Although the stone gates are tightly connected, in the narrow gaps, there is still a purple-black light that seeps out a little from the gaps.

But on the outside of the stone gate, there are layers of spherical barriers.

Under the sunlight, the enchantment exudes a platinum-like sacred brilliance.

Therefore, even if the dark purple-black light wanted to poke its head out from the stone gate, it still couldn't move freely outside.

The sacred barrier seems to be its natural enemy, as long as it shows its head, it will make its body experience the pain of burning.

Although it is a symbol of immortality, pain is equal to humans and monsters.

Even if they are not afraid of death, sprites have no habit of abusing themselves.

The person communicating with it here is a young girl wearing a white priestess costume with long pale golden hair.

Around her neck she wore a red string, to which was attached a bell.

She sat on the ground with her back against the Shimen, and nodded slightly to the voice coming from behind the Shimen.

"The mountain is too boring. There are so many interesting things at the bottom of the mountain, but my father won't let me go every time, saying that I am playful. Even if I go, I can't stay for too long, and I have to have followers by my side. "

Having said this, Zi Yuan couldn't help puffing up her mouth, seeming to be gloomy.

"That's your protection. Your mother Maitreya has the power to reverse time and space, and you who inherit her blood naturally have this power. When you meet someone, their life and death will be seen through. And death , is not a very beautiful thing.”

Even a priestess who is pure in mind and body will feel confused after seeing too many deaths.

Such a witch has seen many times in the past.

Ugly and beautiful, she was finally swallowed up by all kinds of desires in the world and died unexpectedly.

Therefore, most witches who really practice will not choose to enter the world. Most of the time, they practice penance in shrines.

Most of the witchcraft they practice does not harm humans, but targets monsters. The higher the state of mind of such witches, the lower the influence of monsters on them.

As for the witches who have entered the world, most of the witches who have gone heresy don't need to pay attention to spiritual cleanliness.

Their witchcraft not only has a terrible killing effect on monsters, but also on humans.

For them, joining the WTO is equivalent to spiritual practice.

And as the mainline witch of the kingdom of ghosts, she bears the responsibility of sealing it—the sprites, so it is naturally impossible to practice in the world.

Once attracted by the darkness of the world, the witch's power will be unclean, and the restraint against it will be weaker.

Thousands of years are like a day, never changing.

"Yeah?"

"It's not a good thing to be too kind, but because of the many sorrows, there is unnecessary compassion."

"But I don't like the feeling of being on top. It's too far away from other people."

Ziyuan raised her hand, holding the golden light, and stared blankly.

"For us, human life is too small and short. Maybe the next time you open your eyes, the world will have changed, but we will still exist forever. Even if you deliberately get close to them, most of them will only feel flattered and unable to understand you. goodwill."

Although the so-called lives are all equal in the eyes of monsters, there is no such thing as noble or humble.

No matter who it is, there will be so-called selfishness.

However, after all, he is an 'object' condensed from the darkness deep in the heart.

No matter how close he is to humans, he knows he is not human.

This is the same for Shion, who has transformed from a human into a 'witch'.

"It's really annoying! I didn't come to you to listen to the truth! And, as a monster, do you really know what I'm thinking?"

Ziyuan stood up, and stared angrily at the sprite behind the stone gate through the gap.

"This is the sorrow of your excessive longing for the world. Your emotions are becoming more and more like human beings. Maitreya never loses her temper."

Not frightened by Ziyuan's sudden change of face, Sprite still said in a calm tone.

In its view, Ziyuan has too much immaturity.

It is completely incomparable with Maitreya who sealed him.

It's like an adolescent, rebellious child who always likes to disobey adults in everything.

"snort."

With regard to the evaluation made by the monster, Ziyuan also knows that she is far inferior to her mother Maitreya, who can face life calmly.

"Besides, you dump garbage at me every time. Even if I don't want to hear it, I can't cover my ears. It is probably difficult for you to perform your duties as a witch, and you currently lack such awareness."

"Well…"

Can't say sprites.

However, just as the sprites said, Ziyuan's first reaction to the duties of the so-called witch is not to undertake, but to avoid and fear.

It is precisely because I have seen countless deaths that I am afraid of death.

Because every time you seal a monster, you need to pay for the life of the witch.

"You are a child who lacks 'love'. Just like ordinary human girls, when you don't want enough 'attention', you will lose your temper. But there is one thing that is strange, why you, as a witch, would How did something like this come about?"

This sentence seems to be asking Zi Yuan, but also seems to be asking himself.

Because in his opinion, Zi Yuan really doesn't look like a qualified witch.

The witches of the previous generation, the witches of the previous generation, including the previous mainline witches, have shown amazing concentration since childhood. No matter what kind of verbal temptations they face, no matter how many human deaths they have seen, they will not shake themselves. the slightest bit of belief.

Facing them is like facing a stubborn rock, unable to pry open any weakness in them.

And Ziyuan, in the eyes of sprites, is full of weaknesses.

Willful, arrogant, a little provocative words, the emotions will be excessive. It's almost indistinguishable from humans.

But also because of the weakness of the whole body, it made it impossible to start.

The witches in the past seemed to be running a predetermined program. Although they were stable, they also lost the possibility of continuing to grow.

And Ziyuan has gradually acquired emotional humanity, which is undoubtedly a strange thing in the eyes of sprites.

Although the seal may no longer be stable because of these excessive emotions, but also because of this, the future will become elusive.

He doubted whether this was done on purpose by that man—Qianye Shiraishi.

"What do you want to say?"

Shion's tone became wary.

Although she has not yet realized the responsibility of a witch, she also knows that the existence behind the stone gate is too dangerous for human beings.

"Since you are eager to be noticed, you no longer live in a world of one person, but like an ordinary human girl, you can freely live the life you like, and you can love the person you like, instead of living like this. Life is arranged by people, and it ends up in an infinite loop...then, let’s live in another way.”

"another way?"

Shion felt strange about Sprite's statement.

"I bear the 'evil' of human beings for you, and I want to re-understand this world."

For thousands of years, I have been suppressed by the witches of the past.

One or two failures can be regarded as accidental.

But five times, ten times or even more times, they all ended in failure.

If the failure is attributed to chance, then this kind of chance is too arrogant and stupid.

"!?"

Ziyuan froze in place because the words of the sprites were too sudden.

Just when Ziyuan was at a loss and didn't know how to answer, a witch walked through the corridor and walked outside the barrier.

"Master Ziyuan."

"ah?"

Zi Yuan was taken aback, and pretended to observe carefully on the stone gate, as if she was carefully checking the seal on the stone gate to see if there was any problem.

"What's matter?"

She turned her head cautiously and asked.

"Daimyo of the Snow Country, His Royal Highness Fenghua Xiaoxue has come to visit you. Are you going to see me?"

asked the witch.

"What? Sister Xiaoxue is here? That's great, take me to see her!"

Hearing this news, Ziyuan immediately forgot what the sprites said before, and couldn't wait to go outside the barrier, letting the witch lead the way.

As the footsteps gradually drifted away, Xi Yuan knew that Zi Yuan had left this place.

The empty hall fell into deathly silence again.

Even with the sun shining in, the atmosphere here is still extremely depressing to ordinary people.

"When will you see it again?"

The sprite's voice suddenly sounded in this space.

Not long after its words fell, a man came out from behind a stone pillar not far away, with a smile on his face, looking at the sealed stone gate, it was Baishi.

"Even if it is sealed, do you still have this level of perception, sprite?"

"Hmph, your human existence is as dazzling as the sun in the sky. Wouldn't it be strange not to be discovered?"

Regarding Shiraishi's question, sprites mocked unceremoniously.

Shiraishi couldn't deny the sprite's sneer.

"However, you are really wicked enough to eavesdrop here."

Sprites continued to sarcasm.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you. I'm just taking precautions in advance. In case my daughter is cheated, I'm still counting money."

"Sure enough, you heard everything."

Sprites were not too surprised by this result.

"The practice life of a witch is too cold, even for adults, let alone children. At this time, I really need a 'confident friend' to pour out the garbage in my heart, so as to release the pressure."

"You're an interesting human being."

Knowing that the Miko is in contact with monsters that are opposed to humans, but she doesn't stop it, but just pays attention to it silently. Should it be said that she is arrogant, or is she capable of controlling all this? Sprites commented on Shiraishi in this way.

"A layer of unchanging things seems too obtrusive. If Miko needs to make changes in this generation, then, as the same kind, you may become a key turning point. This is how I think."

Baishi thought of Maitreya.

The ascetic witch.

No matter when you look at it, she is a woman worthy of respect.

But because people idolize her too much, her existence will always be so out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people.

Only at the end of his life did he express his true thoughts about becoming an ordinary human being.

Therefore, over the years, Shiraishi has always treated Ziyuan's willful behavior with a tolerant attitude.

As long as he doesn't do too much, even if every time he goes out, he will turn a blind eye and close his eyes, even if he goes out every time and it may make things messy. He only hopes that Ziyuan's life can be more free.

Otherwise, with Ziyuan's lame escape technique, he would be taken back to the shrine by the people he arranged to take care of before he even walked out of the shrine.

After all, she was also her adopted daughter, and Shiraishi didn't want her to stay in the shrine forever, living a life like a prisoner.

"Are you trying to use me?"

"Don't be so explicit, just use each other. Do you want to stay in that dark world for the rest of your life? There is no light, no air, no water, no life, and a different time and space without the concept of time. Just imagine, I feel like I might as well be dead.”

The sprite fell silent.

Although it cannot feel death, it has so-called emotions just like human beings. When a person stays alone for a long time, he will feel lonely, and when he is frustrated, he will feel pain and remorse.

Except that the body and soul are different from humans, in terms of emotions, it is no different from ordinary people.

"Is the human world interesting?"

Sprite asked this question apprehensively.

It's a bit ridiculous to say that although it hates humans, it doesn't know what the human world is like.

So in this way, can it persist without distracting thoughts for the reason it hates humans?

It seems that since birth, I have never thought about this problem. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

For this question, it was the first time that sprites were looking forward to it, but also at a loss.

It is afraid that its expectations are too high, and it is also at a loss because it has to touch a field that is completely unfamiliar to itself.

Seemingly feeling all kinds of complex emotions in the sprite's heart, Shiraishi also fell silent for a while.

Then he turned around, walked slowly to the edge of the sealed hall, looked up at the sky outside, and after a long time, Baishi calmed down his emotions and said:

"Don't worry, the world we live in is not a beautiful paradise, but it's far from hell. It's just a small piece of human world between the two. That's all."

Whether it is excessive expectations or excessive disappointment, it is unnecessary.

From Shiraishi's point of view, all kinds of worries in the sprite's heart are obviously superfluous.
