Chapter 170 About Yiyong’s encounter with a psychopath

【January 23rd】

After three days of searching in the volcanoes and jungles, no rare creatures worth recording were found. It was time to leave the country of Taki.

In the past few days, there have been more and more Taki-nin following me and underground. Even the waiter at my lunch today was disguised as Taki-nin.

But after I revealed their identities on the spot, I saw relief instead of panic on their faces, and I understood that they had done this intentionally. After questioning, I learned that they did not want to ambush me or poison me.

The reason why these ninjas were chasing after them was because several nobles from the country of Takino had invited Orochimaru to visit them, and they even gave each other gifts, so the relationship was very ambiguous.

The Taki Ninja Village thought that I had stayed behind after dealing with Orochimaru because I wanted to deal with those nobles as his accomplices, so under the order of the daimyo, they had to bite the bullet and monitor my whereabouts.

In fact, if they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it at all. After all, the only records Orochimaru left were those cold experimental reports.

However, since they took the initiative, for the sake of safety, I still plan to eliminate the hidden dangers before leaving, and maybe meet these people.

Of course, I could guess without asking that most of these people, like the great Tibetan minister from the Land of Fire, had already hid in the daimyo's palace.

This reminds me of an incident two years ago.

It was not long after I forced my way into the Palace of Fire Country that my father asked Anjurou's shadow clone who stayed in Konoha to bring me a letter.

He scolded me in the letter, saying that in order to punish my behavior, the number of commissions issued by Fire Nation nobles in Konoha dropped sharply. The village's income was half less than the previous month. Uchiha had just improved.

As a result, his reputation took a sharp turn.

He repeatedly emphasized that as long as I am still an Uchiha, there will always be people who think that every move I make is controlled by him.

Therefore, in order to gain the trust of the daimyo, he had to send Itachi, who had been working in the Konoha Library after resigning, to the Fire City to be the mouthpiece between the family and the nobles.

Finally, for the sake of Uchiha's collective wish to become Hokage one day, he asked me not to deal with the offending nobles again.

Because I firmly believe that Butterfly's goal of "eradicating the ninja system" will be realized sooner or later, so I know very well that the wishes of the tribe are just illusions after all——

Since even the ninja system is about to disappear, where will the shadow come from?

Compared with an illusory dream and people's concrete and real lives, it is self-evident which one is more important.

Therefore, I ignored the content of the letter and continued to act as I had in the past - in order to eradicate the problem of missing persons in an area except for Orochimaru's factors, I would often connect with experimental maniacs, kidnappers, underground arena operators, and

Their high protective umbrellas were cleared together.

Naturally, these people would not wait to die and tried to fight back.

After I left the Country of Fire, I encountered dozens of assassinations. Every time I killed them all, the killers still came one after another in an endless stream.

I didn't understand what was going on, so I used genjutsu to control one of them. The person told me that in addition to my bounty rising every day, for ninjas, it was unfortunate that someone like Uchiha Giyuu died in a "nuisance to the ninja world."

In the hand, it seems that it can also bring about the reputation of a hero after death.

Being called a "public nuisance" by these people made me feel bad for several days.

The last time, I was surrounded by more than fifty chuunin jounin. Except for Konoha, there were people from all countries and ninja villages. It really annoyed me. So that time I changed my strategy.

Except for a few ninjas who did not directly kill me, the rest of the assassins will never be able to extract chakra independently for the rest of their lives. Three of them could not face this reality and committed suicide on the spot.

If they are killed, they will be hailed as heroes by their own people, but if they are destroyed, they will become nothing.

Since then, no assassin has appeared on my path.

Since violent methods failed to work, my enemies shifted their targets to my family.

Just like this, two or three months later, Itachi and Shisui both wrote to me. It probably means: My behavior has affected the international reputation of the Fire Country. All countries hope that the Fire Country can take measures against me.

, otherwise even the alliance relationship may be broken down.

After meeting with the daimyo, my father planned to personally take me back to Konoha. After my mother had a big fight with him over this, she simply resigned from Konoha and decided to specialize in doing action guidance and special effects for movies. Then,

My father was so angry that he fainted and was admitted to the hospital.

I felt very sad after receiving the letter that time. Letting the people I care about bear the consequences of my actions is the last thing I want to see.

But if I really do what my father said and only deal with the disappearance case itself, and do not pursue those nobles and ninjas who profit from human trafficking and human experiments, and give similar groups the sternest warning, then such a case will only be in vain.

Endless.

I was in a daze for the next few days and fell into an unspeakable guilt.

But I also feel that my guilt is a betrayal of those whose lives are in danger. Although Butterfly repeatedly emphasizes to me that this is not our world, so I am not responsible for the lives of those people. But there is always one

The question is on my mind.

Why can I reunite my family while those people have to suffer the pain of separation and death?

Every minute and every second of hesitation here, there will be people who are separated from their loved ones because of my trivial entanglement.

But I can no longer do what I used to do. As long as I close my Sharingan, I can block out all unnecessary thoughts and do what I need to do without any worries.

At this point, I understand why Konoha uses two derogatory words "bond" to describe the relationship between people. In my opinion, weakness may be a more appropriate way of expression.

However, this weakness is still a happy trouble after all, and the refreshing feeling of being alone is actually a kind of painful relief.

When I think about those people who no longer have their "weakness", they still still have their lives to be taken away, I feel completely at ease.

In those days, my brain seemed to be pulled by two opposite forces, my eyes swelled and hurt involuntarily, and I couldn't even control the color of my Sharingan.

This is a brand new feeling that I have never experienced before, and its complexity cannot be described in words.

Just when my troubles were about to reach the critical point, Anjuro's crow brought me another letter from my mother.

I thought it was still trying to persuade me to stop, so I opened it with great annoyance, but the first two paragraphs of the letter read like this:

"There is this sentence in Sasuke's favorite comic book, which I think is very suitable for you: 'It is not me who is wrong, but the world.'

"I haven't heard from you recently, so I guessed what you were worried about, so I'm hereby writing to explain. Your dad is fine, he just needs a reason not to go to you, so I did some tricks on the iron element in his body.

It’s enough for him to be able to deal with daimyo.”

Then, in the letter, my mother analyzed for me the importance of black industries such as underground arenas to the economies of those small countries, and believed that this was the real reason why various countries would rather protect these fat-headed nobles than become my enemy. Therefore, in order to

Don't let me get entangled, she decided to cooperate with the Fire Nation to develop the application of rare metals in civilian industry.

As a result, the demand for metals in the Fire Country has increased dramatically, and small countries can use the profits from the mining industry to make up for the economic holes caused by the disappearance of black products.

Since this matter was led by the Fire Nation, the Daimyo became the biggest beneficiary, and the alliance was maintained, so they would no longer have any objections to me.

In addition, she also used her family's money to invest in the film company that filmed "The Princess".

She believes that if a character with a similar style to me but a more likable personality (I don’t know what that means) is added to the newly released movie, and then the creative staff can explain in the interview that the character is based on me, it should be OK.

Effectively reversed my reputation in folk rumors.

In this way, as long as the civilians who sympathize with the victims in the movie are more willing to hire Konoha ninjas to balance out the income lost due to the cancellation of the commission by the nobles, there will be no pressure on the father's side.

"Just do what you should do, Sasuke is always so happy that he can't sleep when he hears news from you." This sentence became a reassurance for me.

That night, I also stayed up all night because I had received support from my family for the first time. I even felt that my very limited care for my family was far from worthy of their trust in me.

However, even though I couldn't sleep all night, my eye symptoms healed without any medicine the next day, and I no longer had swelling and pain. It must have been that letter that greatly relieved my psychological pressure, allowing me to have less worries and continue this project.

A discretionary activity.

At the end of the letter, my mother suggested that if the nobles I wanted to deal with were allies of the Fire Nation, then I could provide the evidence to the country's daimyo so that they could be prepared and use their country's legal means to execute or detain these nobles.

noble.

In this way, the dignity of the daimyo of each country will not be damaged by my lynching, and they can express their attitude towards illegal property as a country. Finally, they can find an excuse to deprive these nobles of their illegal property in an open and honest manner.

Of course, if the evidence is sufficient but they refuse to implement it, the Fire Nation daimyo will strangle them in the metal trade, impose economic sanctions, and strengthen their control over these small countries.

In this way, the Fire Nation, the allies, and I have all achieved our goals.

Although there was a lot of political nastiness in it, I have to say that my mother's method was very effective.

Since then, my actions have hardly encountered much resistance from the allies of the Fire Country. For example, the Taki Ninja Village never thought of taking action against me this time, which is one of the proofs.

I followed this group of Taki-nin to meet with the daimyo of Taki-no-Kuni and told him that I hoped to check whether there were curse marks on these nobles, family members and servants, and I wanted to know the specific content of their exchange with Orochimaru.

Half an hour later, the leader of Taki Ninja showed me more than 40 kinds of aphrodisiacs developed by Orochimaru for middle-aged men with different physical constitutions. I did not find any traces of curse marks on these people. Finally, the daimyo of Takino Country

He swore to me that his ministers would never have any form of dealings with Orochimaru again.

At this point, I have no reason to stay in Taki Country anymore.

Originally I was supposed to write this travelogue during my break last night, but some unpleasant things happened afterwards, so I didn’t have time to write until now.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as I arrived at the border between Earth Country and Takino Country, I met a blond kid with a high ponytail blocking my way.

I thought he was an assassin, but he claimed to be my victim, saying that because I was messing around in the ninja world, he had to be compared with me every day by the Tsuchikage.

According to him, the Tsuchikage used the excuse of letting him catch up with me to force him to learn dust release fourteen hours a day, leaving him with no time to create art. So he thought that as long as he killed me, his free time would be

came back.

In short, for the art he talks about, he must kill me.

When I found that I could understand Orochimaru's crazy words but not his, I knew that this boy must have some mental illness.

Because the other party was very young, only two or three years older than Sasuke, and because I didn’t want to argue with a mental illness, I immediately left quickly with the breath of fire.

But I didn't expect that he would actually use Earth Release to create a flying ninja that could continuously drop incredibly powerful clay bombs hundreds of meters above where I couldn't attack.

Apart from the Tailed Beast Tama, I couldn't think of a way to attack him at the moment, so I used the shock wave generated by the explosion to practice the first form of Breath of Wind, and at the same time led him to the sparsely populated Stone Country.
