Chapter 602 Confess everything
When the appointed time arrived, Lao Zi followed Nagato towards the Ninja Sect living room.
At this moment, Lao Zi was excited and nervous, and his mood was a bit complicated.
The long-awaited meeting is finally here, and it’s impossible for Lao Zi not to be excited about it. However, Lao Zi also has concerns. He is not the kind of person who can talk. He is not sure whether he can express his thoughts well. Yousuke is conflicted.
Lao Zi always complained about Ohnoki in his heart. In fact, he knew that his temper was also bad, not much better than Ohnoki's.
After entering the Ninja sect living room, Lao Zi found that Soyousuke had arrived and was sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"Teacher, we're here." Nagato walked to Muyue and said.
Mu Yue smiled and nodded to Nagato, then looked at Lao Zi.
Lao Zi also looked at Soyousuke. This was not the first time he saw Soyousuke, but it was the first time at such a close distance.
There is not much difference between Soyousuke outside class and during lectures. He is still dressed in white and often shows a gentle smile.
The long-awaited meeting finally began, but Lao Zi didn't know what to say for a while.
He wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't think of the best words or in what order.
Lao Zi was a little anxious, he could only start this conversation first, because he knew Soyousuke, but Soyousuke didn't know him, not even his name.
"Have you finished reading the book? Which chapter impressed me the most?" Mu Yue was the first to break the silence.
When she first learned that Lao Zi wanted to see him, Mu Yue didn't know Lao Zi's purpose and thoughts.
Later, Mu Yue investigated the villages on the northern border of the Kingdom of Rain and learned about some of Lao Zi's actions in the Kingdom of Rain. Based on some information exposed in the original work, he had some guesses.
"Book." Lao Zi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what book Soyousuke was talking about.
"After reading it, the chapter that impressed me the most is probably the world after the ultimate goal is achieved, a world where there is no discrimination, no war, and everyone is equal." Lao Zi replied, recalling the content of the book.
This is probably the most beautiful fairy tale Lao Zi has ever seen.
He could only use fairy tales to describe this ultimate goal. Not to mention war, even the elimination of discrimination was a far-fetched thing.
Because Lao Zi has been discriminated against since he was a Jinchuriki since he was a child, he knows how difficult it is to eliminate discrimination.
He is so powerful and has completed so many tasks for Iwagakure that the villagers still discriminate against him regardless of whether they should.
"Do you think this goal is illusory and impossible to achieve?" Mu Yue seemed to see through what Lao Zi was thinking.
"That's right." Lao Zi nodded honestly.
In his opinion, this is a beautiful fantasy that is absolutely impossible to complete.
Great beings like the Immortal of Six Paths, who were passed down as creation gods in later generations, can only maintain a short-term peace. Is it really possible for war to disappear?
"You should know about walkie-talkies and TVs." Mu Yue asked with a smile without continuing to talk about the ultimate goal.
"I know." Lao Zi felt a little strange in his heart, why did he talk about these two unrelated things.
"If you were a ninja from a thousand years ago, no, five hundred years ago, can you believe that there will be iron boxes that can communicate over long distances without chakra?"
Lao Zi fell into deep thought. Although walkie-talkies and televisions were not uncommon in his world, when Sosuke said this, Lao Zi discovered that this was indeed the case.
If he didn't know about the existence of walkie-talkies in the first place, he would definitely think that such a product could not exist.
"The development of things is always in an upward spiral. Just because it has not happened before, it does not mean that it will not be possible in the future." Mu Yue continued.
“Just because it’s so far away, that’s the ultimate goal.”
Mu Yue never thought that the ninja sect would achieve that ultimate goal in his own hands. If he could lead the ninja sect to make the ninja world a little better and look like the country in his previous life, that would be enough.
"It's so similar. The Sage of Six Paths also wants to create a world without war and where everyone can coexist peacefully." Siwei sighed.
Looking at Soyousuke, who was dressed in white and explained the ultimate goal of the ninja sect, the four tails recalled the Hagoromo who told their nine tailed beasts about their ideals.
Thousands of years ago, Hagoromo founded the Ninja sect and taught them to get along with humans and talk about peace.
Thousands of years later, Sosuke founded the Ninja sect and described the goal of a peaceful world in front of him.
That is to say, it is Nagato and not Soyousuke who has the Reincarnation Eye, otherwise the Four Tails would think that Soyousuke is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.
They have done similar things and have similar ideals. They both like to wear white clothes and have the samsara eye, so the elements are really complete.
Lao Zi was convinced, and he felt that Soyousuke's words made sense.
Of course, he might have convinced himself.
Because the world described by the ultimate goal of the Ninja Sect is a world that Lao Zi could not even dream of.
The most he dared to dream about was that he could be treated as an ordinary person, and he never dreamed that the war would disappear.
Who would not want him to realize such a beautiful and peaceful world? Lao Zi felt that there should be no one.
"It's really rude that I didn't tell you my name after chatting for so long." Lao Zi stood up and bowed slightly to express his apology to Soyousuke.
Since the Ninja clan cooperated with Iwagakure, Lao Zi was worried about exposing his identity and being betrayed, so he did not show his true appearance and identity to Soyousuke and the Ninja clan.
Now Lao Zi feels that his behavior is disrespectful to Sosuke.
Lao Zi released his transformation technique, revealed his true appearance, and then introduced himself in a deep voice: "My name is Lao Zi."
After saying that, Lao Zi fell into silence, preparing to receive Soyousuke's surprise and questions.
After all, he was a Jinchuuriki, the most terrifying weapon of mass destruction in the ninja world. He suddenly came to Ninja Sect Six Paths Castle incognito. Soyousuke couldn't question him too much.
"Yeah." Mu Yue smiled and nodded.
Lao Zi looked at Mu Yue with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Mu Yue's reaction was so dull. The person he was talking to suddenly changed his image. He turned into a terrifying existence like a Jinchūriki. Shouldn't his face be full of shock?
From the corner of his eye, Lao Zi noticed that Nagato also had a calm face and was even more confused. Soyousuke could also explain how Nagato, an underage ninja, could be so calm by saying that he had seen strong winds and waves.
Although Lao Zi revealed his identity not to show off and watch Soyousuke and Nagato be shocked, but the performance of the two gave Lao Zi a confidence to show off his strength, but in the end he only received a so-so evaluation.
It was very embarrassing, very embarrassing. Lao Zi was so embarrassed that he forgot to sit down.
He really wanted others to treat him as an ordinary person, but this was not the case.
"I am the Four-Tails..." Lao Zi felt that maybe Soyousuke didn't think of his identity for a while.
"I know, the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village."
Lao Zi looked at Soyousuke in surprise and confusion. Since Soyousuke knew his identity, why could he be so calm?
Aren’t you afraid of some conspiracy in Iwagakure Village? For example, if you take out a kunai and throw it to the ground, five hundred elite Iwagakure will appear.
"Have you known my identity for a long time?" Lao Zi thought of something and couldn't help but ask.
If Soyousuke had known his identity, then Soyousuke and Nagato's reactions would make sense. "I knew it when I learned that you wanted to see me." Mu Yue answered truthfully.
Mu Yue knew that pretending not to know Lao Zi's identity would make Lao Zi more favorable to him, but this was not necessary.
Lao Zi looked at Mu Yue in shock, not expecting that his identity would be exposed so quickly.
Even Iwagakure from the Five Great Ninja Villages couldn't find him. How did Soyousuke determine his identity? Obviously, the two of them had never met before.
Moreover, since Soyousuke knew his identity, why didn't he contact Iwagakure to inquire about the situation?
After all, he is a jinchuriki. A jinchuriki appears inexplicably in his country, so he should not be indifferent.
"The four-tailed Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village is history. Now I am no longer an Iwagakure ninja." Lao Zi thought for a while and said.
Since you want to reveal your identity, then do it thoroughly.
Lao Zi's words made Nagato's expression change slightly.
He was able to remain calm before because Mu Yue revealed Lao Zi's identity before sending him to call Lao Zi, but Mu Yue did not say that Lao Zi had become a rebellious ninja.
There is a saying that ninjas retire, but retired Iwagakure ninjas are still considered Iwagakure ninjas, and Lao Zike is far from the age of retirement, so they can only be rebellious ninjas.
An ordinary rebellious ninja, Nagato, doesn't care, but if a Jinchūriki rebels against a ninja, that would be a big deal. Nagato, who had been taught by Mu Yue, knew the meaning.
Nagato quickly looked at Mu Yue, and saw that Mu Yue's expression did not change at all, and instantly felt relieved.
"I know." Mu Yue nodded and looked at Lao Zi quietly.
Lao Zi:......
"Is it possible that you still know why I left Iwagakure Village?" Soyousuke's calmness made Lao Zi feel numb.
Mu Yue shook her head. He only knew that Lao Zi's departure from the village was related to the defeat. There must be many things that he didn't know.
Lao Zi breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was something Soyousuke didn't know about.
But Lao Zi didn't know what to say next.
The unfolding of this meeting was something Lao Zi had never imagined. Not only did Soyousuke know his identity, but he also knew it so early.
This caused Lao Zi to have many messy thoughts in his heart, which he couldn't sort out for a while.
"That's it for today. If you have any doubts about the contents of the book about the Ninja Sect, you can come to see me at the Ninja Sect. I will have a less busy period of time next." Mu Yue said after seeing Lao Zi's silence. .
He could sense that Lao Zi was interested in the Ninja Sect. If Mu Yue tried his best to recruit, Lao Zi would most likely choose to join the Ninja Sect.
The Ninja Sect is too lethal to people like Lao Zi who had a tragic childhood.
But this time Mu Yue had no intention of forcing it.
Because although Lao Zi is strong, his identity is indeed a big trouble.
If Iwagakure knew that Lao Zi had joined the Ninja Sect, he would definitely try his best to get the Four Tails back, and other great Ninja villages might also covet the Ninja Sect.
Compared to the Ninja sect inheritance that is only rumored, tailed beasts are real super weapons.
Lao Zi joined the Ninja Sect and brought much greater trouble to the Ninja Sect than the improvement he brought to the Ninja Sect.
Mu Yue chose to let nature take its course, and he would truthfully show Lao Zi everything about Ninja Sect.
If Lao Zi wants to join the Ninja Sect, Mu Yue will not refuse. He cannot refuse a like-minded companion just because of possible trouble.
If Lao Zi leaves the Kingdom of Rain tonight, Mu Yue will not stop him.
"I... okay then." Lao Zi still had a lot to say in his heart, so he stood up anxiously when he heard Soyousuke said that was the end of it. He then asked again after hearing Soyousuke said that he could ask again in the future. sit down.
Lao Zi suddenly remembered that Sosuke was giving lectures a few hours ago, and he still gave lectures to thousands of people for a whole day.
When he couldn't think of anything to say, Soyousuke really shouldn't waste time with him and should go to rest.
"Sorry to bother you." Lao Zi said apologetically.
Facing Ohnoki, he could be a stubborn Jinchūriki, but facing Soyousuke who gave him such face, no matter how stubborn he was, he would be a bit less human, and he would become the residents of Iwagakure Village who looked at him strangely.
Mu Yue waved her hand to show that she didn't care.
Lao Zi felt that he had not contributed, but for Mu Yue, as long as Lao Zi listened carefully during class, he was helping him.
After leaving the Ninja Hall, Lao Zi returned to the hotel.
He was lying on the bed, his mind filled with what he had just met with Soyousuke.
"Why didn't he contact Yanyin Village?" Lao Zi still didn't understand the matter.
Based on the behavioral logic of a normal person, Soyousuke knew that he, the Jinchuuriki, had arrived in the Land of Rain. Regardless of whether he escaped privately or not, he would contact Iwagakure Village first. After all, the two parties still have a cooperative relationship.
"Wait a minute, Soyousuke just doesn't know why I left Iwagakure Village. He didn't tell me that he didn't know I left Iwagakure Village." An idea flashed in Lao Zi's mind, and he connected his trip to the Land of Rain and discovered a blind spot. .
It is known that Soyousuke knew his identity very early, and based on his eavesdropping on the conversation between Iwagakure and Nagato, the Ninja Sect discovered that Iwagakure had unknown actions in the Land of Rain.
Combining these two pieces of information, Sosuke could possibly deduce his current situation.
"Is it a coincidence that the second unlimited lecture is held at this time?" Lao Zi thought of the lecture that made Iwagakure temporarily give up searching for him.
Lao Zi shook his head. Although it sounded like that, most of it was his guess and had no factual basis.
"Ask Soyousuke to try tomorrow." Lao Zi was about to change his itinerary.
Originally, he was planning to leave the Country of Rain and go to the Country of Birds immediately after meeting Sosuke.
Now there are many unanswered doubts in Lao Zi's heart, and he is unwilling to leave him. Moreover, now he has an inexplicable confidence in So Yousuke, feeling that So Yousuke will definitely not betray him.
…
On the other side, Yu Ninja Village.
Not long after Hanzo returned to Yu Ninja Village, he received a piece of news that made him frown.
"Shimura Danzo's ninja want to see me?"
To be honest, Hanzo gets angry when he hears this name.
"Tell him that I have rested after a long journey," Hanzo ordered.
He met with the ninja sent by Danzo Shimura, because the other party was the Hokage's assistant and represented Konoha.
However, he is also the leader of a village, so he doesn't need to give Danzang Shimura face by not meeting him immediately.
After all, it was not Danzo Shimura or Hiruzen Sarutobi who came.
