Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 85

Looking at Xiaoxue who just got off the train and jumped into his arms, Shiraishi patted her on the back lightly, then pushed her away helplessly, saying:

“You’re already such an adult, don’t rush to it at any time. Didn’t San Taifu teach you how to be a qualified lady, Xiaoxue?”

Before Xiaoxue could speak, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and San Taifu caught up out of breath, and just when she heard what Baishi said, she opened her mouth and said, “Your Excellency Baishi, I hope more than anyone else. His Highness can become an excellent lady, but because of the lack of discipline, His Highness has become more and more self-willed recently.”

Xiaoxue glared at San Taifu’s complaint.

“Really? But I haven’t seen you for a while. You look like you’re getting old now, San Taifu.”

Shiraishi smiled at San Taifu.

Looking at the wrinkles on San Taifu’s face, there are many more wrinkles than a few years ago, without sighing that time passes by.

“Yes, I also think that the young people today are a little too lively, especially Your Highness. If this continues, I will feel ashamed of the deceased His Highness Zayuki.”

Seeing San Taifu speaking so emotionally while wiping away tears, Xiaoxue felt speechless.

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

“That’s always better than showing your face outside.”

San Taifu smiled helplessly, but his tone was also full of love.

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

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

Just like a **** high above, he doesn’t eat the fireworks of the world.

But as time goes on, it is completely impossible to continue to maintain that kind of character design that does not eat human fireworks, and still want to govern the country well.

After all, if a country’s big name is placed too high, its image will be insignificant in people’s hearts.

So now, if the daimyo still wants to add the element of ‘God’ to himself, it won’t work at all.

A country like the Kingdom of Ghosts, which can still use the power of witches and goddesses to maintain national governance, can only be regarded as an example, and it is difficult to copy and imitate.

“Okay, don’t just talk about Xiaoxue, and then you can relax for a while.”

Shiraishi laughed.

The date for the finals of the Joint Chunin Exam has been determined. 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 final of the Joint Chunin Exam.

Such a grand event naturally requires the appearance of the neighboring country, the Land of Snow.

It’s just that compared to the representatives of the other countries, Xiaoxue and Santaifu were among the early arrivals.

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

San Taifu nodded.

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

The trials between great powers and great powers are always done inadvertently.

As one of the three major countries in the western part of the mainland, the country of ghosts urgently needs to expand its influence externally. As the organizer of the third joint Chunin exam, it is a good opportunity to expand its influence.

Although the Kingdom of Oni has experienced the Wind Country War before, most of the power displayed is actually concentrated in a few head ninjas in the military. The ability of the military ninja unit to participate in combat has not yet been well known by the countries in the ninja world.

After the War of the Kingdom of Rain, selling new weapons to Yuyin Village in order to contain the Kingdom of Fire, although it also caused a great international response, it was only remotely controlled behind the scenes. The main participants are the ninjas of Yuyin Village and the ninja troops of Damingfu in the Land of Fire.

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

The strength of the ninja, the head of the army of the country of ghosts, 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 yet been determined and remains to be seen is the combat effectiveness of the ninjas other than the head ninjas of the army of the country of ghosts.

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

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

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

Although Sandafu is very confident in the new generation of Genin that was cultivated by the army of the country of ghosts, no matter how confident he is, he still 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 walking around in a circle, Xiaoxue found that besides Shiraishi, there were only some government officials from the Kingdom of Ghosts with familiar faces, and only Shiraishi was the only one who was close to her.

“Asuka? He and Cai are undergoing special training for Ichiki for five days. After all, the two of them are going to represent the military of the country of ghosts in the third exam. Before the finals, it is estimated that you will not see the two of them. already.”

Shiraishi led the way, and Koyuki and Mitsuo also followed.

The ninjas of the Snow Country and the government officials of the Country of Oni also followed closely and did not come up to disturb the three of them.

With Shiraishi present, they didn’t worry that someone with bad eyes would come to assassinate Xiaoxue, the famous name of the country of snow, at such a time.

“Well, that’s a pity. Thinking of it this way, two mothers, at this time, there are important things to deal with.”

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

Shiraishi said vaguely: “Yeah, the two of them are really busy, and I’m not at home very much these days, so during this time, you can stay at Shion’s place for the time being. It happens that she’s boring at the shrine alone, you You can accompany her to save her from being bored and always sneaking out of the shrine.”

Thinking of Shion, Shiraishi suddenly had a headache.

Although like Koyuki, Shion is also his adopted daughter, but in terms of willfulness, she is even worse than Koyuki.

And since Shion has no one around her who can restrain her, the surrounding priestesses are also very obedient to her wishes.

As long as he doesn’t cause trouble, over time, Shiraishi will turn one eye away.

Because after thinking about it seriously, Shion, as a priestess, has the greatest use to seal and suppress the sprites again when they make trouble again.

Apart from that… it seems that as a priestess, she really has nothing to do and no obligation to perform.

This willful temperament is completely different from the previous shrine maiden Maitreya.

“Well, I see, then I won’t disturb Father. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Shion for a long time. I’ll attend with her then.”

Xiaoxue ruffled her hair and smiled.

“Then I’ll trouble you. I hope that these days, the child can calm down and let me save some snacks.”

After receiving Xiaoxue’s promise, Shiraishi’s mood became much brighter, and his walking pace became brisk.

Thinking about it this way, I’m a little fortunate that I didn’t design some characters that were too troublesome when I created the clone, otherwise, all the ‘children’ would make a fuss.

“Did you… sneak 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 mind will be unnaturally captured by the owner of this voice.

Although the Shimen are closely related, but in the narrow gap, a purple-black light can still be seen, and a little seeps out from the gap.

But outside the stone gate, there are also layers of spherical enchantments.

Under the sunlight, the barrier exudes a sacred brilliance like platinum.

Therefore, even if the dark purple-black light wanted to stick its head out from the stone gate, there was still no way to move freely outside.

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

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

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

The one who communicated with it here was a young girl wearing a white witch costume and long pale blond hair.

She wore a red string around her neck, with a bell attached to the string.

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

“The mountain is so boring, there are so many fun things under the mountain, but my father doesn’t let me go every time, saying that I am a fun-loving person. Even if I go, I can’t stay for too long, and there are entourages by my side. ”

Speaking of which, Shion couldn’t help but puffed out her mouth and seemed to be gloomy.

“That’s your protection. Your mother Maitreya has the power to reverse time and space, and you, who inherited her bloodline, 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 shrine maiden with a clean mind and body would feel lost after seeing too many deaths.

I have seen such a witch many times in the past.

Ugly and beautiful, he was eventually swallowed up by all kinds of desires in the world and died of misfortune.

Therefore, most witches who really practice cultivation will not choose to join the WTO. Most of the time, they do ascetic training in shrines.

They practice witchcraft, most of which do not harm humans, but target monsters. The higher the mood of such a witch, the lower the influence of monsters on them.

As for the witches who joined the WTO, most of the witches who have followed other ways do not need to pay attention to the cleanliness of their minds.

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

For them, joining the world is equivalent to practicing.

As the main line of the ghost country, the witch, who is responsible for sealing it, the sprite, is naturally impossible to enter the world to practice.

Once attracted by the darkness of the world, the power of the priestess will be impure, and the restraint against it will be weaker.

Thousands of years are like one day, never changing.

“yes?”

“It’s not a good thing to be too kind. On the contrary, 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.”

Shion raised her hand, held 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 has changed, and we are still forever. Even if you deliberately get close to them, most of them will only feel flattered and can’t understand you. goodwill.”

Although the so-called life, in the eyes of sprites, are all equal, neither noble nor mean.

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

However, after all, he is the ‘object’ condensed from the darkness deep in the heart.

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

This is the same for Shion, who turned from a human to a ‘miko’.

“It’s really annoying! I didn’t come to you to listen to the big reason! Besides, as a monster, do you really know what I’m thinking?”

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

“This is why you yearn too much for the sorrow of the world. Your emotions are becoming more and more human-like. Maitreya never loses her temper.”

Not frightened by Shion’s sudden change of face, Shion still said in a calm tone.

In its view, Shion has too much immaturity.

Completely incomparable to Maitreya who sealed him.

It’s like a rebellious child in adolescence who always likes to go against adults in everything.

“Humph.”

Shion also knew that she was far inferior to her mother Maitreya, who was able to face life calmly.

“Also, you dump garbage on me every time. Even if I don’t want to hear it, I can’t cover my ears. It’s probably difficult for you to perform the duties of a priestess, and you currently lack such awareness.”

“Well……”

Can’t say sprites.

However, as Shion said, Shion’s first reaction to the so-called shrine responsibilities was not to take it, but to escape and fear.

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

Because every time a sprite is sealed, the witch’s life needs to be paid.

“You are a child who lacks ‘love’. Just like an ordinary human girl, when you don’t crave enough ‘attention’, you will lose your temper. But one thing is strange, why you, as a witch, would to produce such a thing?”

This sentence seems to be asking Shion, but also asking himself.

Because in his opinion, Shion really doesn’t look like a qualified priestess.

The previous shrine maiden, the shrine maiden of the previous generation, including the previous mainline shrine maiden, have shown astonishing determination since childhood. No matter what kind of temptation they face, no matter how many human deaths they see, they will not shake themselves. of belief.

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

In Shion’s eyes, Shion’s body is full of weaknesses.

Willful, arrogant, a little provocation with words, the emotions will be too extreme. It’s almost indistinguishable from humans.

But also because he is full of weaknesses, it makes it impossible to start.

Miko in the past seemed to be running an established program. Although they were stable, they also lost the possibility of continuing to grow.

And Shion gradually has an emotional humanity, which is undoubtedly a strange thing in Shion’s eyes.

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

He doubted whether this was what that man, Chiba Shiraishi, did it on purpose.

“What do you want to say?”

Shion’s tone became wary.

Although she did not have the consciousness to assume the responsibility of the witch, she also knew that the existence behind the stone gate was too dangerous for humans.

“Since you want to be noticed, you no longer live in a world of one person, but like an ordinary human girl, freely living the life you like and being able to love the person you like, instead of living like this, A life arranged by people and ends up in an infinite loop… Then, let’s live in a different way.”

“another way?”

Shion was surprised by Shion’s statement.

“I bear the ‘evil’ of human beings for you, and I want to re-understand the world.”

For thousands of years, he has been suppressed by successive priestesses.

A failure or two can be regarded as an accident.

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

If the failure is attributed to an accident, then this accident is too arrogant and stupid.

“!?”

Because Shion’s words were too sudden, Shion froze in place.

Just when Shion was a little overwhelmed and didn’t know how to answer, a priestess walked through the corridor and walked outside the barrier.

“Lord Shion.”

“what?”

Shi Yuan was startled, and pretended to observe carefully on the stone gate, as if carefully checking the seal on the stone gate to see if there was any problem.

“What’s matter?”

She cautiously turned her head and asked.

“The famous name of the Snow Country, His Highness Fenghua Xiaoxue has come to visit you. Do you want to meet?”

the witch asked.

“What? Sister Xiaoxue is here? Great, take me to see her!”

Hearing this news, Zi Yuan immediately forgot what she had said before, and couldn’t wait to walk outside the barrier, letting the shrine maiden lead the way.

As the footsteps drifted away, Shion knew that Shion had left the place.

The empty hall fell into a dead silence again.

Even if the sun shines in, the atmosphere here is extremely depressing to ordinary people.

“When are you going to see?”

The sprite’s voice suddenly sounded in this space.

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

“Even if you are sealed, do you have this level of perception, sprite?”

“Hmph, your human existence is as dazzling as the sun in the sky. Wouldn’t it be strange if you didn’t find out?”

As for Shiraishi’s question, Sphinx sneered unceremoniously.

Shiraishi couldn’t deny Shiraishi’s ridicule.

“However, you are really nasty enough to eavesdrop on here.”

Sprite continued to sarcastic.

“Don’t worry, I have no interest in you, I’m just taking precautions in advance. In case my daughter is deceived, I’m still helping count money.”

“Sure enough, you all heard it.”

Sprite is not too surprised by this result.

“The shrine maiden’s practice life is too cold, even an adult can’t bear it, let alone a child. At this time, you really need a ‘confidant friend’ to talk about your inner **** and release the pressure.”

“You are an interesting human being.”

She clearly knew that the shrine maiden was in contact with monsters that were opposed to humans, but she did not stop it. Instead, she just silently paid attention. Should it be said to be arrogant or arrogant, or was she capable of controlling it all? Shiraishi commented on Shiraishi like this.

“The same thing looks too annoying. If the Miko needs to make changes in this generation, then, as a kind of you, maybe it will become a key turning point. I think this way.”

Shiraishi thought of Maitreya.

That innocent witch.

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

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

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

Therefore, over the years, Shiraishi has always treated Shion’s wayward behavior with a tolerant attitude.

As long as he didn’t do anything too extreme, even if he went out every time he might make things mess up, he would turn a blind eye and just hope that Shion’s life could be a little freer.

Otherwise, with Shion’s crappy escape skills, before he leaves the shrine, he will be taken back to the shrine by the person he arranged to take care of him.

After all, she was also his adopted daughter, and Shiraishi didn’t want the other party to stay in the shrine forever and live like a prisoner.

“Are you trying to use me?”

“Don’t say it so blatantly, it’s just mutual use. 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 no concept of time in a different time and space, just imagination, I think it’s better to die.”

The sprite fell silent.

Although it can’t feel death, like humans, it also has so-called emotions. After a long time alone, you will feel lonely, when you are frustrated, you will feel pain and annoyance, and you will be angry when things go wrong.

Except that the body and soul are different from humans~www.mtlnovel.com~ In terms of emotions, it is no different from ordinary people.

“Is the human world interesting?”

He asked this question nervously.

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

In this way, it hates the reason of human beings, can it still persist without distractions?

It seems that he has never thought about this issue since his birth.

For the first time, sprite was looking forward to this question, but also at a loss.

It is afraid that its expectations are too high, and it is overwhelmed because it has to come into contact with a field that is completely unfamiliar to itself.

Shiraishi seemed to be a little silent as he seemed to sense all the complicated emotions in his heart.

Immediately, he turned around and walked slowly to the edge of the Seal Hall. He looked up at the sky outside. After a long time, Shiraishi calmed down and said:

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

Whether it is too high expectations or too much disappointment, it is unnecessary.

From Shiraishi’s point of view, all kinds of worries in Sphinx’s heart are obviously superfluous.
