Time always moved forward on its own, not allowing anyone to explain.
The sun set in the west, and the moon rose in the east. The stars in the sky embellished the black curtain, emitting their own brilliance.
Nangong Zhe sat on the roof of the house that seemed to be a little narrow. The green jade gourd was beside him, and a jade cup was beside him. The clear wine was sitting quietly in the cup.
Nangong Zhe reached out and took the cup. With a flip of his wrist, all the wine entered Nangong Zhe's mouth.
The rich but elegant wine fragrance lingered in Nangong Zhe's mouth. Nangong Zhe squinted his eyes slightly, seemingly savoring the wonderful taste of the Drunken Immortal Wine.
"I didn't expect that the legendary 'Yama', who killed people like scything flax, was also a glutton for wine …"
A cold voice broke the silence of the night. A girl with long purple hair, dressed in a loose black robe with red clouds on it, stood behind Nangong Zhe without anyone noticing.
Xiao Nan had a playful expression on her face, as if she had caught Nangong Zhe's pigtail.
"Glutton for wine? Not really. One of my seniors really likes to drink wine. I don't know when I was led astray by him. Although the wine in the cup is sometimes a hindrance, I feel that without it, there is not much taste left. "
Nangong Zhe smiled embarrassedly, as if he did not take Xiao Nan's words to heart. He was just reminiscing about the past.
Xiao Nan did not continue on this topic. Instead, she silently walked to Nangong Zhe's side. She picked up the Green Jade Gourd, and her nose twitched a few times as she poured the wine into the gourd.
"This is a good wine …"
As she spoke, she opened her right hand, and a few pieces of white paper danced on top of it.
After a while, a wine cup made of paper was held in Xiao Nan's hand.
He glanced at Nangong Zhe, as if asking if he could have a taste of the wine.
Nan Gongzhe also smiled. Just a moment ago, he was still saying that he was a glutton for alcohol. But now, he picked up his wine and wanted to ask if he could have a sip? Lil 'Nan was an interesting person.
"This wine … is the Drunken Immortal Brew. It was given to me by my senior. There was no one in this world who knew how to brew it, so it was better to drink it a little. Since Little Nan wants to give it a try, it's naturally possible. "
After Nangong Zhe introduced the name of the wine, he agreed to Xiao Nan's request.
Xiao Nan seemed to have taken advantage of something. She took the green jade gourd and poured a cup of wine into the paper cup in her hand.
Holding the glass of wine, Xiao Nan sat down beside Nangong Zhe.
In front of them was the open space where Nangong Zhe and Fei Duan fought during the day. Although the Akatsuki's ninjas also cleaned up, the traces of the battle were still so obvious.
"Fighting and war always destroy all the beauty in the world."
For no reason, Xiao Nan actually sighed with emotion.
After all, Nangong Zhe collected some information about the three disciples of Jiraiya in the Rain Country. They were all orphans in the war.
Their hatred for war and fighting must be deep in their bones.
"So … you are working hard to quell the war?"
Nangong Zhe didn't directly say who the so-called "you" were, but Xiao Nan knew very well that he was talking about Yahiko, Nagato, and herself.
"We just happened to find a feasible way to quell the war, and we are working hard for it."
Xiao Nan didn't know why, but in front of Nangong Zhe, she didn't suppress all the things in her heart like usual. Instead, she directly said what she wanted to say.
Xiao Nan wasn't a particularly opinionated person. When Xiao Nan, Yahiko, and Nagato were orphans in the Rain Country, they were struggling to survive. At that time, Xiao Nan just wanted to survive.
Later, she met Jiraiya and became his disciple.
She founded the Akatsuki and became an important member.
In fact, a lot of it was because of Yahiko and Nagato, who struggled to survive together with her since childhood. When Yahiko was killed by Danzō and Hanzo, Xiao Nan didn't know what she was pursuing.
The resentment and helplessness in her heart made Xiao Nan want to help Nagato realize Yahiko's last wish. Since then, she has been working hard for this ridiculous "big plan".
She became the "messenger of God" under Nagato.
"Isn't that a great thing? There is no one in this world who doesn't want to live in a peaceful world. It's very commendable that you can muster the courage to take this step. "
Perhaps it's because of the few glasses of wine? Nangong Zhe's words gradually became more and more.
"Speaking of which, my experience is similar to yours. My parents and the place where I lived were also destroyed by a group of people. Since then, I have been wandering in the Ninja World, relying on my sister. But maybe it's because of my good fortune, I have some strength, so I joined the Wood leaf to seek protection. "
Nangong Zhe seemed to be thinking about his life, and he talked about the most difficult days of his life so far. Listening to Nangong Zhe's words, Xiao Nan also seemed to remember the days when she, Yahiko, and Nagato relied on each other.
"After joining the Wood leaf, I killed a lot of people, but every time I told myself that every person I killed was for my sister, for the people I cared about. Because only in this way can I let them live a better and safer life under the protection of the Wood leaf. "
"You didn't do anything wrong."
Xiao Nan seemed to see Nangong Zhe's inner struggle. As a person who doesn't like to take other people's lives, Nangong Zhe's thoughts at this moment, Xiao Nan felt that she could empathize with him.
"I used to think that I didn't do anything wrong, but Danzō made a move on my family."
Nangong Zhe shook his head. When he said Danzō's name, he still tightly held the glass in his hand and poured the wine directly into his mouth.
He didn't have the same expression as before, he just looked like he was venting.
"Danzō … Danzō …"
Xiao Nan also murmured Danzō's name in her mouth.
The scene of Yahiko's death replayed in Xiao Nan's mind over and over again.
After drinking the wine in the glass, she gently threw the paper cup in her hand away. Xiao Nan got up and walked away, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air.
"Tomorrow's action …"
