Chapter 698 Change
The Kingdom of Rain, Six Paths City.
At noon, after finishing training, Nagato went to the laboratory to find Xia, and went to the Ninja sect cafeteria for lunch with Xia.
In the past, if Konan and Yahiko were in the Ninja Sect, Nagato would usually choose to eat with them. After Scorpion came to Ninja Sect, Nagato would basically eat with Scorpion.
Because even if he doesn't eat with Yahiko and Konan, they will never be alone.
But Xie is different. Xie's status in the Ninja Sect is very delicate. Except for his friend, no one else can say anything. If he is not here, Xie will definitely have to eat alone.
Nagato once lived a wandering life alone. At that time, he felt that there was no place for him in the entire ninja world. Even in the bustling and noisy streets, he was still surrounded by endless loneliness.
It wasn’t until I met Yahiko and Konan, and the three of them supported each other, that things changed.
At that time, he was still in the Country of Rain, surrounded by people from the Country of Rain. How could he not be lonely in his heart when he was alone in a foreign country.
Nagato does not feel that he has the ability to completely pull Xion out of hatred and completely dispel Xie's loneliness. He does not have Mu Yue's ability, nor does he have Yahiko's personality charm.
Nagato just hoped that Scorpio, who had a similar experience to him, would feel better. After all, he now has the luxury to help others.
His experience was even more tragic than that of Xion, but he met Yahiko, Jiraiya, and Muyue.
"These ninjas are dumber than each other. It takes so much trouble to learn such a simple operation. I was more than this level when I was seven years old."
While eating, Xia couldn't help but complain. He looked at the Ninja ninja who was learning techniques in his laboratory.
"After all, their foundation is very poor, and you are a genius." Nagato said.
There are no ninjas in the Ninja Sect who are good at puppetry, and this is Mu Yue’s knowledge blind spot.
"That's true, but fortunately they are quite diligent, otherwise they would not be able to make achievements in puppetry in this life." Xie thought for a while and said.
Although there is no talent like him, Xia has to admit that those Ninja ninjas who come to learn are very hardworking.
"Want to go for a walk in the city?" Nagato asked after finishing the meal.
“Now Liudao City is much more prosperous than before, and there have been many changes.”
Xia was a Ninja who came to the Ninja sect during the Youth Budokai. Except for the beginning, when he worked on the construction site for some time, Xia basically only stayed at the Ninja residence and never went out.
During the Youth Martial Arts Festival, Liudou Castle could only be said to be a small town with good development. Later, the Ninja Sect seized the opportunity of the Ninja World War, and Liu Daocheng developed very rapidly. The size of the town was more than a dozen years ago. times, and its prosperity is not inferior to that of the capital of the Kingdom of Rain.
"How prosperous can this remote place be?" Xie curled her lips.
"But you can also walk around, maybe you can find an opportunity to escape from prison."
"Then let's go." Nagato nodded, not paying attention to what Xie said about prison escape.
After Xia was brought to the Ninja Sect, Nagato was always in charge. He witnessed Xia's changes.
In the beginning, Scorpio really tried every means to escape from the Ninja Sect. Later, he became depressed when he found that he could not do it. Then he took the initiative to face it and tried hard to perform well to reduce his sentence.
Now, Nagato can still occasionally see Xia in a good mood because of various things.
Such a scorpion may leave the Ninja Sect after serving his sentence, but he will never escape early.
Then the two of them walked around the Six Paths City.
"A bit more presentable than before, but that's about it." Xie commented.
"Actually, you have a share of the credit here." Nagato suddenly said.
Xie raised his head proudly. His skills should have made the Ninja Sect a lot of money.
"Do you remember this place? The construction site you were at was responsible for the construction of this area." Nagato pointed to a house.
Xie's face darkened slightly. So this is what the credit was for? Maybe there were bricks he had actually laid.
"Just kidding, your contribution to the Ninja Sect is much greater than building a house." Nagato smiled.
"Has anyone ever told you that you don't have any sense of humor? It's not funny at all." Xie said rudely.
“Is this so?” Nagato was a little disappointed.
He really didn't tell many jokes. When he was in the Akatsuki organization before, he was usually the one who needed to be enlivened.
"Okay, it's still a little funny, but not much. Maybe people with a lower laugh point will laugh." Xie changed his words.
"That's good." Nagato breathed a sigh of relief.
Who doesn’t wish that he is a relatively humorous person? Nagato sometimes imagines that his ability to tell jokes will make Konan smile.
"Lord Xie."
The two continued to walk around Liudao City, and suddenly someone called Xie's name, and Xie turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
There are very few people in the Ninja Sect who know his name, except for the higher-ups, that is, the Ninja Sect ninjas who have learned techniques and have undergone surgeries.
"Are you shopping with Nagato-sama? It's really rare."
The Ninja ninja waved his prosthetic limb to greet Scorpion, and trotted up to the two of them.
"He just asked me to walk with him to digest." Xie explained.
"Well, Mr. Xie, you rarely visit Liudou Castle. If you are hungry at night, you can go to the west side of the city for a stroll. There will be many food stalls there at night, and some of them have very good tempura." The Ninja ninja introduced enthusiastically.
This was the first time he saw Xie in a non-Ninja sect station, so he thought Xie rarely went out and didn't know much about Liudao City.
"By the way, if you like ramen, you can't miss the one on the commercial street." "And..."
"I know." Scorpio has never felt like this. Enthusiastic, he quickly opened his mouth and shouted stop.
Nagato also smiled at this time and continued to lead Scorpion forward.
“Are all the people in the Kingdom of Rain so enthusiastic?” Xie asked.
It’s just after lunch, why start introducing a bunch of food.
"His name is Sosuke. When he doesn't have any tasks, he likes to go to various restaurants or food stalls to taste food. He is very interested in this aspect." Nagato replied.
Scorpion showed his original expression.
"But he doesn't treat everyone like this. He is passionate about you because you are a scorpion and you saved his ninja career." Nagato said seriously.
Whether it is arms or legs, they are all indispensable for ninjas.
If an ordinary ninja loses an arm or breaks a leg, he will definitely not be able to be a ninja anymore.
“If he is no longer a ninja, he may still be able to make a contribution to the ninja sect in other places, but he may no longer have the income to eat and drink at will.”
Xie was silent, thinking silently.
He had many reasons for learning puppetry, including wanting to avenge his parents, his own interest in puppetry, and even the idea of practicing out of boredom.
Only I have never thought of using puppetry to save people.
After all, when Scorpion came into contact with the Puppet Jutsu, the information he obtained was that the Puppet Jutsu was a ninjutsu used for combat.
"So I'm really grateful to you, Scorpion, for developing such a technology. It would be a pity if I had to give up my skills after working hard for more than ten years just because of an accident." Nagato sighed. .
No matter how powerful the medical ninja is, he can't regenerate a broken arm, and as long as the head of Scorpion's puppet technology is still there, the rest will be fine.
“This is just an inconspicuous green leaf on the eternal art.” Xie shook his head.
Speaking of Potian, prosthetic technology is just a by-product of human puppet technology, and it is not a particularly high-tech one.
The core technology of the human puppet is chakra core, which is the technology that allows ninjas to achieve immortality.
“But it is very meaningful to the Ninja Sect, the Land of Rain, and even the Ninja World.”
Nagato does not understand puppetry, but he understands the changes that prosthetic technology can bring. There are always some people in the world who have lost a limb due to various accidents.
Scorpion did not argue with Nagato, but was praising him anyway.
The two continued to visit Liudao City. When they passed by a takoyaki restaurant recommended by Cao Ke, Xie bought one out of curiosity and tasted it.
“It’s not as good as he said.” Xie commented.
“In the final analysis, eating is just for the nutrition needed to maintain life. The human body is such an inconvenient thing.”
“Maybe it’s the difference in taste. I don’t agree with your point of view. Enjoy. Delicious food is an indescribable enjoyment," Nagato retorted solemnly.
The feeling of happiness and satisfaction when he tasted the ramen made by Mu Yue for the first time is still unforgettable to him.
"Scorpion, you may have such thoughts because you haven't encountered the cuisine you really like."
"The place where I grew up is much more prosperous than the Land of Rain. It's not like I haven't eaten those delicacies that are famous in the ninja world. I don't feel that I enjoy them." Xie did not give in.
"That's because those are not real delicacies. If you have tasted real delicacies, you won't think so."
"You are really underestimated. What food can compare to Eternal life?”
Scorpion doesn’t think those so-called delicacies can change his mind.
Nagato opened his mouth, but in the end he did not speak.
He is confident in Mu Yue's cooking, but he is not easy to make promises casually.
Mu Yue is not only the leader of the Ninja Sect, but also recently became the Hokage of Konoha. He must be busy with a lot of things. He cannot trouble Mu Yue for such things.
The two people arguing did not notice that a pedestrian who was buying snacks on the street showed a look of surprise when he saw them, but quickly changed back to his normal expression.
"Working together with the Ninja Master's disciples and having such a good relationship, it seems that he has really joined the Ninja Sect." Sunagakure spy thought.
The biggest calling card of the Ninja Sect to the outside world is Soyousuke, who has the potential to be the strongest in the Ninja world after Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The second is Nagato, who not only has the special status of Soyousuke's disciple, but also has the title of the number one genius in the ninja world.
The interaction between Scorpion and Nagato is not like collaborators, but like close companions.
The Sunagakure spy quickly finished his snack and sent the collected information back to Sunagakure Village.
PS:
First update, a big adjustment failure.
When I was writing today, my head felt very strange. It was swollen, which made the already slow speed even worse.
Please give me the next monthly ticket, double the amount and there are only two days left
