"We're finally here, the capital." Itachi looked at the bustling city in front of him and sighed softly.
Then Itachi didn't think much and walked slowly into the most prosperous city in the Fire Country, which is also the political center of the Fire Country and the capital of the Fire Country.
The capital city was more prosperous than Itachi had imagined. Tall buildings were common, and there were all kinds of shops on the streets. There were a large number of people on the streets, including travelers who were as curious as Itachi, workers who were walking in a hurry, and nobles who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wandering around with guards.
Itachi first found an inn, then walked around the area around the inn, and after becoming familiar with the nearby roads, he returned to the inn.
After returning to the hotel, Itachi took out paper and pen and began to write a letter.
After writing some polite words and greetings at the beginning, Itachi paused for a while and then began to write the main text.
What he wanted to write about was what happened to him in the small town before, even though his shadow clone Nagase knew about it.
However, the shadow clone will only flow its memories and experiences back to the original body after it disappears, so Nagase's original body does not know what happened to Itachi.
"Thank you for your advice. Traveling around the ninja world can really help me learn things that I can't learn from books, and I can also see things that I can't see in normal life. Although the journey is short, I have gained a lot."
Itachi wrote carefully, word by word, his handwriting was very neat and clear.
In every sense, he gained a lot in that small town.
In terms of money, although Shijo Kaori often pestered him, she also issued him many commissions, allowing him to earn a lot of money. In the end, she also gave him a considerable sum of money after the incident. Generally speaking, he would not have to worry about not having enough money for the rest of his journey.
In addition to money, Itachi's strength has also improved significantly. He has a two-magatama Sharingan, his observation ability has greatly increased, and his illusion ability has been greatly enhanced.
Another thing is that Itachi has a better understanding of reality, and this incident has given him a deeper understanding of people.
"But while I gained a lot, I also encountered many difficulties..." Itachi frowned when he wrote here.
Before this incident, Itachi had never imagined that a rumor could have such a great power.
Even the woman in the rumor is fictitious. As long as someone is really willing to investigate, it will not be difficult to find out the truth.
The person hiding in the dark simply bribed a few people to testify against each other, and no one suspected him.
Even Itachi himself, who was behind, after Shijo Kaori was injured and saw someone die on the ground with his own eyes, also had the intention to kill Shijo Hayashikawa.
He didn't understand why those people were willing to believe such a rumor, and why it spread so quickly, and it seemed that everyone was happily discussing it.
Even after the Shijo family strongly announced that this was a rumor, the rumor continued to escalate.
If Itachi encountered such a thing alone, he would first investigate the truth of the matter and make a decision after confirming it.
He didn't understand why those people would do this. Instead of investigating the truth, they just talked nonsense to the people around them, causing things to gradually become outrageous.
He also didn't quite understand why the people distrusted the Shijo family so much and used the evidence investigated by the Shijo family as a cover-up. Everything the Shijo family did was a cover-up.
He also didn't understand Shijo Linchuan. What kind of reputation does a person have to have for rumors to spread like a matter of course
There are so many things Itachi doesn't understand about this matter.
Just like he doesn't understand why a war breaks out when everyone is living peacefully.
We are not starving, so why do we have to fight? We are all living well, so why do we have to start a war and kill each other
Nagase explained it to him, but Nagase's explanation was still a little complicated for him now, and Itachi found it difficult to understand.
Itachi could only understand it simply, comparing the ninja world to a piece of cake. The five major countries were the ones who divided the cake, but they were not satisfied with the cake on their plates and wanted a bigger cake.
It was difficult for Itachi to comprehend other deeper things, after all, he was only an eight-year-old child.
If you tell him to protect the village, he will understand that it means defeating all enemies that threaten the existence of the village. But if you talk to him about the economic base, superstructure or some other contradiction, he will be confused.
He knew the words separately, but had no idea what they meant when put together.
After finishing writing, Itachi let out a long sigh, packed the letter and prepared to mail it out later. He would stay in the capital for a while and should be able to wait for a reply.
Honestly speaking, Itachi felt that this was a bit stupid. He knew that Nagase's shadow clone was following him secretly, but he couldn't go to Nagase to answer his questions.
Because he couldn't find Yongze at all, Yongze wouldn't let him find him.
Since Nagase said that he would only appear in times of fatal crisis, that should be the case. Itachi still has some understanding of Nagase.
At some times, for example, when it comes to his safety, Nagaze might, for the sake of his growth, pretend that he would definitely not arrange anyone to protect him, but in fact he would send a shadow clone to follow him.
This is a white lie.
But most of the time, Nagase's words are still very credible.
"Could it be that Mr. Nagase is actually training my ability to think independently?" A flash of inspiration came to Itachi's mind.
Yongze also often said that people should learn to think independently. What others say may not be right, and what you think may not be wrong.
Now Itachi hesitated whether to send the letter.
In the end, Itachi still felt that Nagase must have his own reasons for doing this, so he did not send the letter, but kept it carefully, preparing to show it to Nagase when he returned to Konoha, to see if Nagase's explanation was the same as the answer he had thought of.
"As expected of Mr. Nagase, even this was within his expectations?" Itachi felt that he understood Nagase's profound meaning.
Nagase's shadow clone, who was wandering around the ice cream shop not far away, sneezed.
"Did the original body do something immoral again to get scolded?" The shadow clone was a little confused.
"Never mind. It's not easy to come to the capital. Let's eat first. I haven't even been here before."
… …
The development of the Light Ninja Village was in full swing. Relying on a large number of ninjutsu secrets, it not only gathered a large number of ninjas from the Land of Rice, but also reaped a large amount of wealth.
Nagato didn't mind at all when some ninjas from other small countries came to him after hearing the news. It didn't matter whether the ninjas were from the Land of Rice or not, as long as they were ninjas, he would accept them.
Nagato's policies were also very open-minded. After all, the ninja village had just been established, and whoever was stronger would have a higher position.
As long as you are strong enough, it is not a problem to become the director of any department after joining the Ninja Village for one day.
And today, a ruthless man came to the Hikari Ninja Village and defeated all the examiners with one move.
Darcy is from Sichuan. He has been an orphan since childhood and both his parents died in the war.
Later, Darcy was captured by Isshiki's men and became the subject of Isshiki's experimental wedge.
Perhaps God took pity on Darcy's ill-fated fate. Although the experiment failed, he surprisingly did not die in the experiment and was able to bear some of the power of the wedge.
So he became Isshiki's right-hand man and one of the three major cadres under Isshiki.
Although Darcy was captured by Isshiki's subordinates, he did not harbor any resentment towards Isshiki. Instead, he regarded Isshiki's "father" as his savior.
Although I'm an experimental subject, it's much better than wandering outside. At least I'll have enough food to eat, and I don't lack the money.
Then Isshiki also gave him a powerful strength that allowed him to become an eternally powerful ninja, which made him even more grateful.
From Darcy's perspective, Isshiki was a kind man who not only fed him but also gave him power. It was no wonder that he regarded Isshiki as a father figure, even though Isshiki had never shown any closeness to him.
This time, Isshiki wanted to expand his power. While expanding his power in the native land of River Country, he sent his men to erode the weaker small ninja villages.
Isshiki doesn't need to control the entire ninja village, he just needs the ninja village to be willing to do something for him.
And Darcy was Isshiki's first attempt to erode the ninja village.
As someone who inherited some of his power, Isshiki has full confidence in Darcy.
With the power of the Otsutsuki, it is easy to conquer these weak indigenous creatures.
Since the Light Ninja Village had already stated that positions were determined by strength, and Darcy's goal had always been to become a high-ranking official in the Light Ninja Village, he did not hide his strength and directly unleashed all of his normal strength, instantly killing the assessment ninja of the Light Ninja Village.
The eyes of the Hikari Ninja who was recording nearby lit up, and he quickly asked, "Sir, what is your name?"
"Durcey." Durcey said calmly.
"Based on the strength you have demonstrated, you can directly become a Jonin of the Hikari Village, and you can also choose a senior position in any department." The Hikari Village ninja said quickly, and then took out a form.
Although positions were determined based on strength, which led to everyone trying their best, he had never seen someone as powerful as Darcy. He felt that he was almost like a jonin from a big ninja village.
Of course, he has never really faced a jonin from a large ninja village, otherwise he wouldn't be alive today.
"If you are still not satisfied with these, I recommend you to go find Chief Yahiko. I believe that when he sees your strength, he will give you a position that is more suitable for you." said the ninja from the Hikari Village.
He also hoped that Darcy could be more powerful, so that he could be considered to have helped out a little and would be able to be promoted and given some benefits in the future.
Darcy nodded without even thinking.
In his mind, who is the leader of the Hikari Ninja Village? Can he be as strong as him
If he could become the leader of a ninja village by killing the leader of the ninja village, he would go to the leader's building of the Hikari ninja village now.
Under the guidance of the Recording Light Ninja, Darcy was taken to the Light Ninja's chief building.
Darcy also met Yahiko, the leader of the Light Ninja who founded the Light Ninja Village.
The first time Darcy saw Yahiko, the first thing she thought was where did this trendy guy come from and why his face was full of nails. As a result, her contempt for him became even greater, and she felt that this small ninja village did not seem to have any value in corrupting it.
The eyes are quite strange, could it be some kind of bloodline limit
However, no matter what kind of bloodline limit it is, it cannot compare to the divine power that comes from Lord Jigen in him!
"Oh, so powerful?" After listening to the words of the Light Ninja, Pein looked at Darcy and saw the contempt hidden in his eyes.
"Haha." Payne laughed disdainfully.
"Compared to you, the leader, he is certainly not that strong, but he is also the strongest one who has recently joined the ninja village." Guang Ninja said with a serious expression.
If trying to please Darcy is to gain some benefits in the future, then Guangren's words now are sincere.
Because Nagato really gave them a huge shock. The huge damage caused by Nagato and Obito shocked every ninja in the Light Village.
Those huge meteorites fell from the sky. Record Guangren guaranteed that if that thing appeared on the daimyo's side, no one would be able to stop it. The daimyo would send it directly.
The battlefield between Nagato and Obito had a huge impact on them, with collapsed mountains, collapsed ground, and huge pits.
It is really hard for these Tianguo Ninjas to imagine that this is the destructive power that a ninja should have.
Everyone else is just breaking a few trees and smashing stones, but how come you can't even build a mountain
In addition, Nagato’s slogan was very loud, such as revitalizing the country of fields and giving small countries status.
With his strength and specially crafted personality, Nagato has many admirers in the Hikari Ninja Village.
In other words, Nagato cleaned up the battlefield after considering the impact, otherwise someone would probably have to go there every day to feel the leader's power.
"I will let you know what true power is and then arrange your position according to your ability." Nagato said indifferently and then walked out.
Darcy looked at the leader of the small ninja village in front of him who was dressed strangely and was so rampant, and he was also aroused by the desire to fight.
"Real strength, indeed. I think everyone will understand after the battle is over." Darcy said, and followed him out.
As the leader, Nagato naturally attracted a lot of attention. Many people were curious about what Nagato and Darcy were going to do.
Nagato chose a training ground in the Hikari Village as the battlefield.
It is called a training ground, but it is just a cleared area, but it is very large.
Nagato looked at Darcy calmly and said, "Go ahead. You only have this one chance."
Darcy felt humiliated instantly when he heard the leader of a small force whom he looked down upon say such words.
In a rage, Darcy directly activated a part of the power of the wedge in his body, and some strange white patterns appeared on his face and hands. At the same time, his aura surged and his strength exploded. The whole person was like a bullet that was fired at an extremely fast speed.
Sensing Darcy's sudden strength, Nagato's originally indifferent expression was somewhat moved.
It was clear that Darcy was just an ordinary jonin just now, but his aura suddenly increased sharply, and his strength could be said to be close to the level of Kage.
Although Nagato could still kill someone with this strength with one hand, this represented too many things.
Why would someone with such strong strength come to join a newly established small ninja village? With such strength, it is enough for him to establish a small ninja village on his own.
If Nagato was planning to seriously develop the ninja village, he would naturally conduct a thorough investigation of this kind of person.
But Nagato is not like that. He just lets the powerful people take the high positions, so he doesn't care about this.
Give him a lesson, and then train him, maybe it will be useful in the future. Thinking of this, Nagato slowly floated up, ready to suppress him.
