Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world

Mo Congfeng and a dejected boy with short hair and sunglasses were speeding in the rain, always keeping alert and paying attention to the four medical ninjas in front of them, three women and one man. In front of the four medical ninjas were Hatake Sakumo and Inuzuka Shigeo, who were leading the way.

The four medical ninjas were not moving fast, only about 70% to 80% of Hatake Sakumo's marching speed. Mo Congfeng, who was following at the end, felt very relaxed. Mo Congfeng was not a perceptual ninja who was good at vigilance and detection. The task of detection was mainly performed by the young man in sunglasses beside him, and Mo Congfeng had almost nothing to do.

Mo Congfeng shook his windbreaker and for the first time in his life, he felt that rainy days were so annoying.

Two days ago, Mo Congfeng followed the Qi Mu team upstream along the big river in the River Country. He saw the big river gradually forked into small streams. After the group entered the Rain Country, the drizzling rain never stopped.

It was the first time that Mo Congfeng saw such a wonder. The source of a big river like the one in Chuanzhi Kingdom was just a few streams. This had never happened in the vast Central Plains and was even hard to imagine. Mo Congfeng couldn't help but sigh that the world was indeed very big.

According to Hatake Sakumo, the rain in the Rain Country never stops all year round, providing sufficient water for the rivers in the River Country. After Mo Congfeng entered the Rain Country, he completely believed this.

The one who hated the heavy rain in the Rain Country more than Mo Congfeng was the boy wearing sunglasses beside him. His name was Aburame Shio, and he was a Chunin from the Aburame clan who enslaved insects. He was a temporary team member added by Hatake Sakumo.

Originally, before entering the Land of Rain, Aburame Shio volunteered to serve as the vanguard of the team together with the heroic ninja Hatake Sakumo whom he admired, relying on the insects' stronger and more flexible detection capabilities, while Inuzuka Shigeo and Mo Congfeng served as the team's guards.

However, after entering the Land of Rain, the insects quickly began to feel noticeably uncomfortable. The rain wet their wings, making it very difficult for them to fly. Aburame Shio gradually lost his advantage in exploration.

The current situation in the Rain Country is somewhat chaotic. In order to prevent the team from falling into trouble, Aburame Shio had to withdraw from the vanguard position and be responsible for the rear guard protection work together with Mo Congfeng.

The team marched to the evening, and Hatake Sakumo ordered them to stop and found two sick and dead trees. They dug two tree holes in the decayed trunks for the team to rest. The Rain Country has plenty of rain and dense trees. The trees grow very tall and strong, so such big trees are easier to find.

Seeing the three women hiding in the tree hole to rest, Mo Congfeng took off his windbreaker and outer coat, revealing his upper body, grabbed the front of his coat, and squeezed out the water.

The windbreaker was obtained from the camp in Chuan Kingdom before leaving. Its waterproof effect is average, but it can still protect most of the body. Mo Congfeng got his chest wet while galloping, and the wet clothes stuck to his body, which was very uncomfortable.

Mo Congfeng was wringing his clothes when he noticed that the four people in the tree hole were staring at him. Mo Congfeng turned around and looked at them, "What's wrong with you?" As soon as he said this, he discovered the reason. Although the bodies of the four people in the tree hole were not dry, they were generally not wet.

It seems that this is the effect of their strange running posture. Although Mo Congfeng can run like them, he is still not used to it. He always feels that running like that for a long time is not good for the waist and may cause back pain.

Judging from the shape of the windbreaker, if he ran in the rain like them, it might be able to protect him from the rain very well. Mo Congfeng was determined to run like them in the next few days in the Rain Country.

"Nothing, I'm just curious about the scars on Mr. Congfeng's body!" Scars? Mo Congfeng figured this out. The treatment of medical ninjutsu is very magical. It almost doesn't leave any scars. He was injured after coming to the ninja world. After being treated by medical ninjutsu, he didn't have a single scar.

Almost all of these scars on his body were left during that war. When he first entered Korea to fight, Mo Congfeng was still a direct disciple of a famous sect. Although he had practiced sword skills with his fellow disciples, everyone was very careful in their moves. Occasionally they would fail, leaving minor injuries on their bodies from bumps and scrapes, which mostly faded away quickly.

Mo Congfeng quickly touched the scars and put on the wrung-out clothes again. Mo Congfeng thought to himself that these scars promoted his growth and made him who he is today, making him the person he is today!

The medical ninja continued, "Mr. Cong Feng must be a warrior who has experienced many battles! But in the ninja world, warrior battles are rare!"

Mo Congfeng twitched his lips, smiled lightly, and prepared to start lying, "In order to hone their martial arts, warriors often have to go through hard training, and some of the scars are left at that time."

Aburame Shio expressed his disbelief, "But from Mr. Feng's many scars, it seems that they are fatal injuries from life-and-death struggles. They don't seem to be caused by training!"

Mo Cong glanced at the silent and thoughtful Hatake Sakumo, and felt that he had to explain quickly and change the topic to stop them from continuing to talk about their past.

He turned his head away from Hatake Sakumo and rolled his eyes slightly, "Well, the ninja world is now a world of ninjas, and samurai have basically lost their role in war. Young samurai will gradually understand this as they grow up, and day-to-day practice and tempering will gradually lose their meaning. After all, their skills have no real use."

Mo Congfeng continued to use his imagination, "But they always have to find something to do, so many warriors choose to wander around when they are young, traveling around the world to find the meaning of life. In the process of traveling, they are always inevitably helping the poor and fighting with the enemy. In that case, it is often a lone warrior facing a group of people, and often cannot get timely treatment. Therefore, they will suffer various injuries, leaving some scars that are difficult to remove."

Mo Congfeng felt that the more he talked, the more he described the samurai as the chivalrous knights in the novels. This was something Mo Congfeng didn't like, so he turned the topic back to the samurai, "Most samurai will choose to leave their hometown and travel far away, leaving only a small number of samurai to stay in their hometown. Of those who left their hometown and traveled far away, some will return to their hometown, while others will never come back! In the long run, the samurai will gradually die out until they completely disappear in the long river of history!"

After Mo Congfeng finished speaking, he pretended to sigh and looked at the four people. Sure enough, Aburame Shio showed a look of regret as if he had been convinced. But at this time, Inuzuka Shigeo asked, "But since samurai travel far and wide, how come I have never passed it once?"

Mo Congfeng pretended to be unhappy, "What are you talking about? What do you mean you've never encountered one before? A real samurai is standing in front of you! Samurai naturally don't like ninjas, because ninjas have taken away the meaning of their survival and fighting. They wander around in the ninja world and deliberately avoid ninjas and ninja villages! If it weren't for the war between ninjas, how could I have run into ninjas and have the opportunity to join Konoha?"

Mo Congfeng continued to add fuel to the fire, directing the topic of samurai to ninjas, "One day, ninjas will also be like this, and will encounter the same fate as samurai and disappear. One day, a new weapon, or a new fighting style or fighting profession will appear, and they will replace ninjas, and ninjas will die out!"

Mo Congfeng talked about samurai and ninja, but in his heart he was thinking about the martial arts world and knights. Mo Congfeng had seen the power of firearms on the Korean battlefield. Those powerful firearms could deal with most of the martial arts world, and only a few masters could barely cope with them.

Perhaps one day in the future, firearms will develop rapidly, and the martial arts of knights will gradually lose their original usefulness. At that time, knights and the martial arts world will gradually die out.

What's more, ninjutsu and chakra will spread to the Central Plains, and a new fighting style and a new fighting profession, ninja, will emerge. They may replace the martial arts world and knights, and the martial arts world and knights may die out as a result.

However, the demise of knights and the martial arts world may not be entirely a bad thing. After all, whether it is firearms or ninjutsu, it is an improvement for the current martial arts world. Perhaps by then, the disputes and grudges in the martial arts world will also disappear, and the world may gain true peace!

Mo Congfeng looked at the four people and saw that Aburame Shio and Inuzuka Shigeo clearly did not believe it. "Why, you don't believe that ninjas will become extinct? Fifty years ago or even a hundred years ago, when the God of Ninjas had not yet come to this world, which samurai would believe that samurai would become extinct?"

Mo Congfeng was excited when he spoke, waving his arms. "What's more, ninjas depend on wars to exist and coexist with wars. If one day, wars are completely eliminated, will ninjas still have meaning and necessity to exist? If ninjas refuse to disappear, then the meaning of their existence will be to provoke new wars and create wars that never end. Is this the world you want?"

Hatake Sakumo was finally moved and took over the conversation, "I believe what Mo said, ninjas will die out, because wars will always end, and a peaceful world without war will eventually come, and it will definitely come! This is what our Konohagakure Ninja Village's Will of Fire continues to pursue!"

Hatake Sakumo was also excited, "Since the first Hokage, the ultimate pursuit of our Konohagakure has been only one, to create a ninja world with eternal peace and no war! This is the Will of Fire!"

Hatake Sakumo grabbed Mo Congfeng's left hand and held it tightly, "The Third Hokage once said that Mo is a fellow traveler of the Will of Fire. The Third Hokage is indeed foresighted! Mo, I feel very happy and lucky to meet you!

No, no, no, we have the same will of fire, the same aspirations. It is the guidance of the will of fire that brought you here and joined the Konoha Village! There is no such thing as luck or misfortune, all of this is arranged by the will of fire!"

Mo Congfeng was filled with embarrassment, as if he had encountered a fanatical follower of the White Lotus Sect, so he had no choice but to cooperate by showing his four teeth and smiling.

Mo Congfeng knew that the ultimate pursuit of the Will of Fire was difficult, but he had to admire this group of people. He had to admire the Ninja God Senju Hashirama who hoped to eliminate war and establish a ninja village. It was because of the existence of such people that the curse of continuous war could be broken and a short-lived peace could be brought to the world!

The Ninja God Senju Hashirama founded the Ninja Village and brought more than ten years of peace. Even people living in a small village in a remote seaside village would express their gratitude and respect to him from the bottom of their hearts. This is the meaning of their existence!

Under the flickering firelight, swallowing the hard-to-swallow military ration pills, Mo Congfeng felt that the enthusiasm that he had been aroused by Hatake Sakumo was rapidly fading.

Mo Congfeng looked at the four people, and he estimated that they were the same. The rain gradually subsided and the sky gradually darkened. After eating the Bingliang Pills casually, Hatake Sakumo did not forget to arrange for the sentry to be on guard. The order of night watch was decided by drawing lots. Mo Congfeng and Aburame Shio were drawn to be the first wave of night watch.

The two people hid in the crown of the same big tree. Sitting on the treetop, Mo Congfeng could see the jumping flames in the tree hole where Shizuka and the other two were, but he had no idea whether Miss Shizuka and the others had rested or what they were doing.

Aburame Shio is still a teenager, and he really wants to talk to Mo Congfeng about the world of samurai and wants to know about Mo Congfeng's travel stories. However, Mo Congfeng does not want to talk to him about these things. After all, the more you talk, the more mistakes you will make. So he tries to take the initiative in the topic.

"Have you ever heard stories outside the ninja world? What is it like outside the ninja world, Zhixiong, do you know?" Mo Congfeng finally seized the opportunity to ask the question he had always wanted to know.

Aburame Shio gave a confused look, "Outside the ninja world?"

Mo Congfeng thought for a moment and changed the subject, "You have seen the map, right? Among the five great nations, the Fire Nation is in the middle, the Wind Nation is to the southwest, the Earth Nation is to the northwest, the Water Nation is to the southeast, and the Thunder Nation is to the northeast. Have you ever thought about or heard of what is outside the four nations? For example, what is to the east of the Water Nation?"

"It's the sea, an endless sea!" Aburame Shio answered without hesitation.

"What about the Kingdom of Wind? What is to the west of the Kingdom of Wind?" Mo Congfeng finally saw the real purpose. The west of the Kingdom of Wind might be the Kingdom of Japan. This was Mo Congfeng's guess all along, but he had no chance to confirm it for the time being.

"To the west of the Kingdom of Wind are mountains, mountains that tower into the clouds!" Aburame Shixiong saw that Mo Congfeng was going to ask more questions, "Behind the mountains is the sea, an endless sea!"

It seems that the Kingdom of Wind is not directly adjacent to the Kingdom of Japan, Mo Congfeng thought. However, to say that there is an endless sea is really an exaggeration. The Kingdom of Wind should be across the sea from the Kingdom of Japan, not far away. Perhaps standing on the towering mountain that Aburame Shixiong mentioned, one can see the islands of the Kingdom of Japan.

Mo Congfeng smiled wisely, "Is our Ninja World the only land floating on an endless ocean? There is endless ocean outside."

"I once heard an old man tell such a story. On a clear day, if a person stands on the highest mountain on the edge of the Kingdom of Wind and silently recites a wish in his heart, and looks toward the west, if he can see the shadow of land, then his wish will come true!" Aburame Shio showed an expectant expression, "Why, could it be that Senior Cong Feng has ever been on an overseas land adventure?"

What a cliché story, but it sounds like it's very far away, maybe the rumor is exaggerated, Mo Congfeng thought. "I haven't been there, but I heard legends about distant continents when I was traveling. The nearest continent should be to the west of the Kingdom of Wind!"

"Well, I heard Senior Feng asking questions over and over again, and I thought you had been to the overseas continent and learned some secrets there?" Aburame Shio's expectation turned into disappointment, and he said a little unhappily.

"What secret is there about the overseas continent?" Mo Congfeng asked casually.

"The secret of the ancient war. In the legendary period of the Six Paths Sage, a great war broke out in the Ninja World. Many parts of the world were destroyed, and the land west of the Wind Country was also destroyed, becoming a desolate land with no human habitation!"

what!
