Naruto took Sara's wine glass away very naturally and did not let her continue drinking to avoid getting too drunk, but did not say anything.
He just stared at Sara, gesturing for her to keep talking and not stop.
Sara seemed a little nervous and glanced at Naruto and Nohara Nao, but fortunately the surrounding light was dim. The dim light of the red candle blurred the boundaries between people and lowered her inner sense of defensiveness.
Probably because I couldn't see the expression on my face when I looked up, I could only hear the voice. So you don’t have to watch your words, and you don’t have to worry about whether what you say is appropriate.
"I want to return to my country and go home." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly.
Her breathing also became rapid, and she didn't dare to look up at Naruto or Nohara Nao. This idea has been in her mind for a long time, but she doesn't want to cause trouble to others.
After all, the cost of realizing this wish is too huge, and it is impossible for her to complete the restoration of the country alone. Even if someone helped her, it would be impossible.
It was for this reason that she decided to learn ninjutsu. If the road to national restoration is long, even if she spends her entire life unable to reach it, she at least hopes to keep walking on it.
It was better than staying where she was and suffering every day. Living aimlessly every day had already made her a little breathless.
But Sara also knew that without Naruto and Nohara Nao's company, she would not even have the chance to suffer now. This hope of life was given to her by her mother and Naruto.
She cannot be willful, nor can she be willful.
Before this, I had never dared to say what was in my heart, for fear of causing trouble to Nohara Nao. This time she said it out under the influence of wine, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Restoring Loulan is a bit unrealistic, and it is too reckless to say it. In the end, this is my own business. There is no need to say it out loud and cause trouble to others.
"You can't go back home. After all, the dragon vein was closed twenty years ago." Naruto thought for a while and said, "Forcing it to open is very troublesome, and it is most likely damaged."
Hearing this, Sara couldn’t help but lower her head and whispered.
"I know, I just want to. I know I can't go back, and there is no hope of restoring my country. I just want to do something by myself. It doesn't matter even if I can't restore my country in this life."
"So I want to learn some ninjutsu. I can go back to Loulan to see if I can at least go out and have a look. I want to know if there are any surviving people in Loulan."
"I won't run around, I just want to learn some ninjutsu. When the war is over, I"
Naruto interrupted her, "There is really no way to go back twenty years ago, but it is not difficult to restore the country. Loulan is only a small country anyway. Just find some Loulan people and enclose a piece of land to restore the country."
"Huh?" Sara was stunned, "But restoring the country requires gathering a lot of people and a lot of money. I don't understand business or politics. I just want to see Loulan again."
"It is indeed quite complicated, but compared to learning ninjutsu, it is obviously simpler." Naruto said, "So, do you choose to learn ninjutsu or return to the country?"
Sara was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize what Naruto had just said.
"Can Loulan really do it?" She stood up and her breathing became rapid. "Is it really possible to restore the country?"
"Okay." Naruto's voice was steady, "I will give you the greatest support. In fact, it is not that difficult to restore Loulan to the national system."
"The only shortage of manpower at the moment is that I can handle the rest. So rather than a ninja, perhaps restoring Loulan's national system requires a wise queen."
Naruto has his own considerations. Currently, he occupies the four small countries headed by the Kingdom of Rain. He has no intention of recuperating there. He is just a pawn used to contain the five major countries.
The Country of Snow can be regarded as a large rear area for him and will definitely be used in the future. He has long since distrusted Konoha. Supporting small countries and controlling big countries is a good way for Naruto.
Anyway, the nobles have inexhaustible money, so they just use some to do things that are more beneficial to them.
"I won't learn Ninjutsu anymore, I'll choose something else." Sara seemed to become excited, and her eyes shone with a strange light.
The huge surprise completely diluted the nervousness in her heart, and also reminded Sara of what she was going to do today.
She suddenly sat down shyly and lowered her eyes next to the dining table and thought for a while.
The three of them changed some topics and chatted. After the meal, Nohara Nao suggested taking a walk outside. Naruto and Sara had no objection, changed their shoes and walked out.
The street was still lively. Nohara and Nao were walking in front and whispering, while Naruto was half a step behind.
"Sarah, if you want to return to the country, then I will go with you."
"I'm quite willing, but isn't Konoha your hometown?" Sara asked hesitantly, "Loulan is far away from Konoye. Do you really want to go?"
"What does it matter? It's good to stay away from Konoha." Nohara Nao said with a free and easy expression, "Nearly all the family and friends I know have disappeared in the past twenty years, and I have no feelings for Konoha for a long time. .”
"The reason why I agreed to go through the dragon veins and come to the future was because I couldn't stand the continuous wars in Konoha. I'm not afraid of death but I don't want to be cannon fodder for the village anymore."
"You see, I'm neither weak nor strong. They asked me to intercept the supply of food and fodder for the opponent's elite troops. Didn't they ask me to die?"
"Anyway, I don't need a village, I just want to be with you."
"Okay, me too." Sarah smiled innocently, "Then Loulan not only needs one queen, but now it needs two queens."
"Okay, I also want to try what it feels like to be a queen."
In fact, there was another sentence that Nohara Nao didn't say. She knew that she couldn't hold Naruto alone, and she also knew that Sara actually had no choice. If she had to rely on Naruto to revive the country now, she would have no other choice but to become...
The two of them staying together could at least make Naruto remember him, if they were really separated. Slowly, Naruto and her will only see each other every half a year. This is not what she wants.
On the other side, Naruto had an idea of what was going to happen next. He estimated that it was almost time and the three of them returned to their residence.
What happened next became very routine. The two women went to wash up together first, while Naruto passed the time by reading comics on the sofa.
After the two girls came out, Naruto went to take a shower, and then the three of them were silent, each doing their own thing.
The red candle was burning slowly, and the night was getting darker.
Later in the night.
After getting up, Naruto walked to the window, the red candle had been burned to the bottom. He turned his head and glanced behind him. After seeing that he hadn't woken up yet, he opened the corner of the window and looked at the cold short book street.
The dawn light appeared in the distance, and he squinted his eyes. Even if he didn't sleep all night, his body was still refreshed.
It is indeed difficult for him to judge the relay race. He can only say that it is indeed fresher.
However, he does have some problems with his body. Fortunately, he is not too strong, and is about ten times stronger than a normal ninja.
Since when did he become stronger, and so did his body.
If it were someone else, they would have been running around in ecstasy, and they might even have to pull the Kyuubi up and down to try a tailed beast jade to see where their body's limits are.
But Naruto is not this kind of person. He relied on the system to complete the mission purely to become stronger or to lie down. The range of lying flat is very wide, to put it simply, there are just a few.
If the price of physical sanctification is impossible, then he would rather not do it. You can't just bring a hundred people over every time you feel like it, and then...
Of course it sounds impressive when you say it, like a hundred people, but in actual operation it's like a factory assembly line. If it is just to pursue that moment of happiness, it is not cost-effective at all.
Excessive use will quickly make an originally interesting thing lose its fun, so Naruto resolutely abandons this behavior.
And his response was to distribute the power, to distribute the chakra he obtained to the greatest extent, and while giving up most of the chakra, he was one step closer to happiness.
Naruto planned to actively weaken himself and retain only a small part of his chakra. If you encounter a difficult enemy, just use the forbidden technique directly in front of your face.
He doesn't want to join the glorious evolution, and whoever wants to evolve will evolve.
As early as two years ago, he had discovered that excessive chakra density in the body would lead to higher blood purity, which was directly reflected in the body becoming inexplicably stronger.
There's nothing wrong with being stronger. The main thing is that if you're too strong, you can predictably lose interest in women.
This was simply more uncomfortable than killing him, so when I found the opportunity, I decisively chose the Evil God's gift. Divide it out, give it all away, after all, there won’t be much after you divide it into ten parts.
After a while of cold wind, Naruto couldn't help but secretly said that the relay race was really moist. No wonder there are so many learning materials about relay races before time travel. Since it has been around for a long time, it must have a reason for its existence.
The next day.
Sarah moved to the bathroom with some difficulty and started to wash up. Looking at herself in the mirror, she almost subconsciously reached out to smooth her hair and put it up.
Suddenly, the girl's hairstyle transformed into a more mature updo, and Sara couldn't help but narrow her eyes. I don’t know why, but this hairstyle seems to suit me better.
"Can't you stay one more day?"
As soon as Sara got out of the bathroom, she heard Nohara Nao's voice and couldn't help but follow it. Naruto seemed to have something to do and was ready to leave.
"I was going to leave yesterday. I really have something to do. Be good and I'll be back soon. By the way. You guys should also pack up. It's almost time to leave here."
He put down the water glass, glanced at Sara coming out of the bathroom, and said to Nohara Nao who looked disappointed in front of him.
"It can take up to seven or eight days, or as short as three to five days. I will definitely come back and take you to the ancient Loulan country."
"Would you like to go find the survivors of Loulan first?" Sara said with a red face. She was afraid of embarrassment and did not dare to move. She felt a faint stinging sensation when she took a step.
Thinking about the first discussion about the relay race last night, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when she took the field for the first time.
"Don't look for it, just build a temporary residence. When the people are available, we will circle the land and start building the city." Naruto had obviously thought about it in his mind and said it very smoothly.
"As for the manpower and funds to build the city, I will arrange, um. As for the population, we will have to wait and see how many survivors of the ancient Loulan Kingdom can come back. I will also arrange for people to move here, in short."
"Everything can only be started from scratch, so don't be too impatient. The environment may be a little worse at the beginning, but it will improve a lot after the temporary shelter is built."
"Yeah." Sara nodded obediently. She was not in a hurry. Naruto's response made her feel at ease, "I'm not afraid of hardship, I can tolerate it very well."
Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but look at Sara again, thinking that you are indeed very good at patience.
"Can't you stay one more day? I'm ready." Nohara Nao stood on tiptoes, suddenly smiled and leaned close to Naruto's ear, exhaling softly.
"Special program."
After hearing this, Naruto couldn't help turning his head and staring at Nohara Nao, with a trace of struggle in his eyes. After thinking about it, he finally said helplessly.
"I really want to stay, but I really have something to do and I can't delay it. Next time, definitely next time."
~~
Cloud Hidden, the front line.
Kirabi reluctantly got on the return carriage. The negotiations between the five major powers had come to an end, and there was no need to use force to deter them.
The interests have been divided, and it would be rude to be shocked again.
If everything goes well, Kirabi will return to Kumogakure and stay for several more years, unable to leave the village even if he gets too bored. In the final analysis, it's like being in jail. You finally got out once, and now you have to go back.
Sitting in the rickety carriage, Kirabi looked at the scenery outside the window greedily. Almost for no reason, a sentence that I didn’t know where I heard flashed through my mind.
"It seems that after the war is won, I can go home, but I don't know when I will be able to come out next time. Maybe I won't come out in the future."
"It's such a boring little village, isn't it?"
"Are we going to stay in the village again and suffer day after day? Then what's the point of living! Ah! I'm confused, so confused!"
Sitting in the small carriage, Kirabi became more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it. He couldn't help but use ninjutsu to create an octopus tail clone and stay in the carriage, and the real body slipped out of the carriage quietly.
When he first escaped, Kirabi was extremely nervous, fearing that the escape would be leaked and he would be punished by the Fourth Raikage Ai. Just as he ran further, he gradually left all his worries behind.
The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and not far away, the smile on Naruto's face also grew bigger and bigger.
"It's worth my persuasion, but in the end you couldn't help being lonely and escaped. Now you're the only one." He murmured to himself as he leisurely fell behind Kirabi.
"What should you do now, Kirabi."
boom!
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Kirabi looked up and couldn't help but stop. In the distance is the endless mountain forest, and I don't know when it has been covered with dark clouds.
Unknowingly, Kirabi had arrived in a strange forest that he had never arrived before. Almost subconsciously, he looked back sharply and jumped away at lightning speed.
"Who!?" Kirabi shouted, staring around warily.
"We meet again, Kirabi." Naruto slowly walked out from behind a big tree with Sasuke's face in his face, with an uncontrollable sinister smile on his face. (End of chapter)
