"Huh? Boyfriend?" Xiao Nan was taken aback. "I haven't been looking for one yet."
Nagato was about to be happy, but the next second Konan's words hit him like a 100,000-volt punch.
"But I've always liked Shirahoshi-nii."
"Right, Brother Shirahoshi?"
Shirahoshi: "......"
"Mmm." Bai Xing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He should have known better than to eavesdrop when he gave the phone to Xiao Nan and instead went back to do what he was supposed to do.
"Hehe." Xiao Nan chuckled to herself, thinking that Brother Bai Xing had indeed not rejected her pursuit.
Bai Xing can only be described as a complete scumbag. As long as someone is of decent character, not ugly, and trustworthy, he basically has no way of refusing them.
After all, not everyone is like Uzuki Yugao, a woman who was controlled by him but still followed him after he washed away Kotoamatsukami.
Nagato: "......"
"I see. Then I wish Xiao Nan and Brother Bai Xing happiness."
"Thank you, Nagato. Oh, and please remember to say hello to Kyusuke and the others for me."
"Uh-huh."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Nagato and Konan said goodbye and hung up the phone.
"stop fighting."
"Stop fighting."
When Nagato saw the two still wrestling, slapping each other's faces while saying things like "Konan wouldn't even look at you" and "I'll beat your face until it's swollen, then see how you chase after Konan-neechan," he directly quoted Konan's earlier reply.
for a long time.
The three of them sat together on the edge of the dam, with a cliff below and a pool behind them.
"I see. Konan has liked Shirahoshi-nii for a long time, hasn't she? After all, Shirahoshi-nii is indeed very outstanding."
"Damn it! Why the dean? I could have tried with anyone else!"
"There's nothing we can do, he's the headmaster after all." Nagato gripped his phone, propped himself up on his knees, and looked down at the scenery: "He's the savior of this ninja world."
Right, Dad, Mom?
......
The war between the various countries was caused by Uchiha Hikaru's frequent use of powerful techniques, which created a climate of fear and uncertainty. Many nobles were worried about their future and began to extend olive branches to Loulan, paying a heavy price just to protect their families.
The transformation of Loulan was unstoppable; those who try to stop the tide of history will only fall beneath it.
Just like the land of wind.
"Please, give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for days."
"Water...water..."
Having lost their daimyo and their ninjas, the towns of the Land of Wind have entered an era of cannibalism, where those who do not rob others of their money and food face certain death.
Of course, when the ancient kingdom of Loulan was starving, they still took the initiative to lend a helping hand, providing them with porridge and water, giving them a way to survive in the Kingdom of Wind.
At the same time, new cities were built near Loulan, allowing more refugees to enter and seek a new life.
The Land of Wind, a nation that had stood in the ninja world for over forty years, has officially come to an end.
The time frame was only one month.
To be precise, it was 23 days, 12 hours, 37 minutes, and 54 seconds.
Who could have imagined that the Land of Wind, which once dominated the ninja world alongside the four other nations, would ultimately see its era end under the control of three... no, I mean five people?
Next, the ancient kingdom of Loulan will replace the original Kingdom of Wind and stand in confrontation with the four great kingdoms.
"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous."
"Hahaha! I am the son of a daimyo! Who dares to kill me? Who can kill me?! Hahahaha!!!"
The children of a once-famous nation, after losing their country, naturally had to become part of the local workforce.
If you don't want to, you can become a street beggar in the new urban area.
Beggars are not allowed to steal money from passersby; they can only wait for charity and pity.
There are actually many people like this.
If they can accept it, these nobles who have been in high positions for a long time understand human nature very well. They will take advantage of people's kindness to make a higher income than they would from working.
Of course, this famous child had truly gone mad. After all, the title of a fallen king had fallen upon his head, and he still dreamed of continuing to be the king of the Wind Kingdom in the future, but instead he became a fallen king, reduced to a lowly commoner.
How could he possibly accept this?
Then he went mad.
......
"The newly built urban area is named Loulan Wind City No. 1 by the Dean. It is the first urban area. Later, other areas will be expanded into the urban area, which will be called No. 2, No. 3, and so on."
"By the way, once the city is fully built, we shouldn't let beggars and the like on the streets, as this will affect the attraction of foreign investors."
"Yes!"
Within the city of Loulan Wind City No. 1, Mako, as the leader of the Knights and the Queen's personal bodyguard and secretary, was already accustomed to the content of these policy announcements.
"Huh? Isn't this Elder Okawa from Sunagakure? What are you doing here? We didn't demolish Sunagakure." Mako was full of questions when she saw Elder Okawa, who used to be a high-ranking figure in Sunagakure, acting like a beggar.
"Uh... Well." Elder Da Chuan wiped the dust off his face, saw a caravan leading horses approaching, and quickly assumed his identity: "Please, sir, have pity on this old man."
Upon hearing this, the wealthy businessman inside the carriage immediately lifted the curtain and threw a thousand-yuan Loulan coin in front of Elder Da Chuan.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
As the carriage drove away, Elder Da Chuan kowtowed.
Looking at the markings on the caravan, Mako immediately remembered that it seemed to be a trading caravan belonging to a merchant named Mizutani Shoto.
"This is really profitable. Loulan truly lives up to its reputation as a land of gold!" Elder Dachuan took the thousand Loulan coins, wiped them to confirm their authenticity, and chuckled as he stuffed them into his beggar's clothes.
Mako: "..."
"So, you've changed your ways from elder to beggar?" Mako said, speechless.
"What do you know! All the missions in Sunagakure right now are hard labor. You can't earn any money as a ninja unless you're willing to give up your ninja identity and come to Roran to find a way out. Otherwise, you're not even living as well as a commoner. You know... Oh dear, sir, please, Your Honor, give this old man some money for food..."
After another convoy passed by, Elder Da Chuan began his performance again.
Mako covered her face, feeling that these ninjas were utterly shameful, abandoning all dignity for money.
"Forget it. Everyone has their own ambitions, let him be."
Mako watched as Elder Okawa, who had failed to receive any money from begging, began to mutter curses at the wealthy merchant. She could only conclude that he hadn't changed; he was still the same kind of person.
She has important things to do today, so she absolutely cannot be late.
......
The expansion of Loulan Wind City No. 1 urban area has reached a radius of about ten kilometers from the outer city wall.
The capacity could increase by hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
However, the population of the ninja world is not as small as a few hundred thousand; it is at least around a billion. The Land of Wind alone, a poor country, has tens of millions of people.
As the Fire Kingdom, which was once the strongest and most prosperous of the five kingdoms, its population was even greater.
"Report! The Knights Commander sends his greetings to the Sand Elf!"
"Come in."
"Yes!"
Pushing open the door, one finds Gallo and a group of knights inside.
On the other side were representatives from the Land of Fire, including Nara Shikakichi.
"So it's Commander Mako of the Knights, hello, hello." Nara Shikakichi stepped forward to greet her, but Mako ignored him and took out a high-level document from her bosom, handing it to Karura.
"Sand Elf, this is the Queen's instruction; the details of the negotiations are all inside."
"Okay. I understand. If there's nothing else, you can go with the Knights." Gallo took the documents and waved his hand.
"How can this be?" Mako had never liked ninjas, and her gaze immediately swept fiercely over the group of Konoha ninjas: "We must stay and protect the Sand Spirit Lady's safety, and prevent the Sand Spirit Lady from being plotted against by these despicable ninjas."
She would remember Luo Sha's grudge for the rest of her life.
Nara Shikakichi looked helpless.
He was only representing the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind in negotiations, but since the Land of Wind was gone, he could only try to talk to the ancient Loulan Kingdom to try to find out what the Loulan Kingdom's leaders were thinking so that they could prepare for the continuation of the war.
......
While Loulan negotiated with Konoha, another group went through Loulan Wind City's first district to queue up at the outer city gate of Loulan's main city to enter the city.
"Master, do you think Loulan will be like this in the future? It's too luxurious. This is only the outer city. I can't believe what the inner city will be like."
"Be careful, after all, we are outsiders."
Sasuke, an older man from the future, leads Boruto and a four-person Uchiha team to investigate the current situation in Roran.
But just looking at the outer city walls and the facilities inside the city gates, it felt like they had just arrived in a glamorous metropolis from a rural town.
Moreover, this glamorous metropolis boasts an advanced technological feel that the future cannot match.
This is something Sasuke really can't understand.
Why!
Even after eighty years of development since the formal establishment of the one-country-one-village system, their ninja world is still in the era of trams.
As a result, now that we've come to Loulan from the past, everyone is already using mobile phones and living in an era of communication and the internet?
Are you kidding me?
"Here you go. This is a temporary pass; you can only stay here for three days."
"Wasn't it supposed to be seven days before? How come it's only three days now?!"
"Do you want it or not? The demand for entering and leaving Loulan is too great now. If everyone goes for seven days, Loulan will be overcrowded! Hurry up, hurry up. If you don't want it, there are plenty of people who do. Look, there's a huge line of people behind us wanting to go in."
The Loulan staff member in charge of registration at the city gate pointed to the queue that had stretched for several kilometers.
