Chapter 231 Different Paths

Chapter 231 Different Paths

Konoha Street.

Xiao Nan was still a little dazed at this moment.

She initially thought that her evil intentions had been discovered by the ninjas of Konoha.

Then they sent the handsome young man, Shirokumo Aoba, to lure her, and finally captured her at the Senju ancestral home.

After some discussion—

The other person just wanted to invite her to go shopping together.

She initially refused.

But for some reason, when the other party said "Since you're already here," I suddenly found it hard to refuse.

So, half-heartedly, I followed the other person out.

After a brief exchange, she finally understood why these little girls were hostile towards her.

Because among these people, apart from the Earth Shadow disciple, they were all actually Bai Yun Qingye's girlfriends.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone date several girls at the same time.

This greatly shocked Xiao Nan, whose usually calm mind remained unsettled for a long time.

What surprised her even more was that Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi were able to get along so well with the people of Konoha.

Kurotsuchi is Onoki's granddaughter, and Mei Terumi is also very likely to become the next Mizukage.

Shirokumo Aoba was also a disciple of the Hokage.

In other words.

If things continue as they are, these three will most likely become high-ranking members of the three major ninja villages.

It's even possible that he could become a shadow.

Now they can actually get along harmoniously in the same house, and Mei Terumi is even Aoba Shirakumo's girlfriend, just like family.

If this relationship can continue, will there be no more wars between the three great ninja villages, and will peace be maintained indefinitely?

For some reason, such an absurd idea suddenly popped into her head.

Then her gaze unconsciously fell on Bai Yunqingye, who was walking ahead.

She knew that the other person was the bond that held this relationship together.

Although Kurotsuchi wasn't Shirakumo Aoba's girlfriend, their interactions suggested they were very good friends.

She then thought of the information about Baiyun Qingye.

Could it be that a kind and innocent boy is using this method to bring peace to the ninja world?

Using himself as a medium, he became a bridge between ninja villages.

A bridge to peace in the ninja world...

It was a very naive idea, but he seems to have actually taken the first step.

This made her start to think about Bai Yun Qingye's purpose in inviting her out...

Although Pain is the leader of Amegakure, she actually manages the entire village.

She can also decide the future of Amegakure.

Looking at Shirakumo Aoba and Terumi Mei, who were practically glued together, Konan's fair and cool face flushed slightly.

Could it be that Bai Yun Qingye actually has his eye on her and wants her to join his team?

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan shook her head again.

As she shook off the thought, her face became even rosier.

She wasn't feeling shy, but rather ashamed.

She's a woman in her thirties, yet she's imagining a boy almost twenty years younger than her falling in love with her.

The other person probably just wanted to build a good relationship with her, like that guy Heitu, just as a very good friend.

If she were an ordinary Amegakure ninja, she might also be willing to try this path of peace.

But she is a member of the Akatsuki organization.

Peace is her pursuit, and it is also the pursuit of the Akatsuki organization.

The only difference is that the two sides achieve peace in completely different ways.

She knew what Nagato was thinking.

They also knew his purpose in collecting the tailed beasts.

Nagato plans to combine the power of the nine tailed beasts to create a tailed beast weapon capable of destroying a country in an instant.

Then use this weapon as a deterrent, causing hundreds of millions of lives to vanish in an instant.

This will instill fear in people's hearts, deterring major powers from waging war and leading the ninja world towards peace.

Unlike Shirayuki Aoba's approach of mutual understanding, Nagato and the Akatsuki organization believed in absolute violence.

Because they already know that it is impossible for people to truly understand each other.

For this, they paid the most painful price.

The Akatsuki organization needs tailed beasts, while Konoha happens to possess the Nine-Tails, and given their current plans, they are destined to become enemies...

Although they were on different paths, she didn't dislike people like that.

Because they used to be like that too.

However, Shirokumo Aoba now wants to understand her and become friends, but she plans to release the tailed beast in the other's village and instigate a war.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan felt lost again.

She seems to have become the very thing she used to hate the most.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, a little girl holding a candied hawthorn skewer stumbled and bumped into her leg.

She took a step back and almost fell to the ground, but Bai Yunqingye caught her.

The little girl raised her head and thanked Bai Yunqingye, "Thank you, big brother!"

"You're welcome." Bai Yunqingye smiled and patted her head.

The little girl looked at Xiao Nan again, opened her arms, and bowed sincerely in apology.

"I'm sorry, big sister, I bumped into you by accident."

Xiao Nan snapped out of her reverie and quickly waved her hand, saying, "You don't need to apologize. I was thinking about something and got distracted."

The little girl looked at Xiao Nan with innocent eyes again.

"Big sister, are you in a bad mood?"

"This……"

Xiao Nan didn't know how to answer.

She wasn't good at dealing with such enthusiastic children, like Baiyun Qingye who insisted on giving her an umbrella yesterday.

"No~"

The little girl suddenly pouted, looking at the candied hawthorn in her hand with a conflicted expression.

"Little friend, you..."

Xiao Nan thought the other person was injured and wanted to ask, but the little girl suddenly handed her the candied hawthorn in her hand.

"Big sister, please have a candied hawthorn!"

"Eating candied hawthorn makes me feel better. I eat candied hawthorn whenever I'm sad."

Xiao Nan was stunned.

She stared blankly at the little girl who handed her the candied hawthorn.

The bright sunlight shone through the treetops and fell on the little girl's innocent face.

Her eyes were clearly filled with reluctance and inner turmoil, but it was precisely this reluctance that made her feelings even purer.

Those dark, bright eyes seemed to be conveying some kind of message to her.

Xiao Nan sensed the pure innocence and beauty in the little girl's innocent eyes.

Between people...

Perhaps we can understand each other.

The idea suddenly rekindled in her mind.

"Th-thank you, but I don't need this."

Xiao Nan shook her head in refusal; she felt her throat was dry as she spoke.

Please accept this.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman, presumably the little girl's mother, walked over and looked at Xiao Nan with a smile on her face.

"Consider it a gift from the child to apologize to you."
