Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

The road to escape is always longer than imagined.

With Ye Cang by their side, Qianxuan, like two frightened mice, hid and fled across the damp, cold land of the Land of Water.

The entire Land of Water went mad, with countless Hidden Mist ninjas swarming around like a disturbed hornet's nest, searching everywhere for Sengen.

"Can you please stop looking like you're at a funeral all the time?"

As Qianxuan chewed on the dry soldier's rations, he glanced at the woman beside him with annoyance.

"If you do this, it'll be easy for us to be exposed. Anyone will know at a glance that we've done something wrong and are on the run."

Yekura didn't say anything, but silently pulled her hood down even further, covering most of her face.

She now feels that her life is drier than a soldier's ration pill.

A day later, they finally arrived at another port in the eastern part of the Water Kingdom.

Unlike the previous purely military port, this is a port for both military and civilian use.

The docks were bustling with people, including civilians hurrying along as well as fully armed, wary Kirigakure ninjas.

The atmosphere was tense, like a string stretched to its limit.

"Alright, this is the place."

Qianxuan found a corner and observed the layout of the port from a distance.

"The plan is simple. I'll arrange some 'little gifts,' and then give them a surprise farewell ceremony once we're on board."

He spoke casually, as if he were discussing what to eat for dinner.

Yekura's body suddenly stiffened.

She raised her head, her eyes, hidden in the shadow of her hood, fixed on Qian Xuan, her voice trembling slightly.

"You're also going to...detonate this place?"

"Otherwise what?"

Qianxuan naturally retorted,

"How can I attract their attention if I don't make a fuss? Besides, this is my mission."

"But……"

Ye Cang's lips moved slightly. She glanced at the civilians unloading goods on the dock, and then at the children nestled beside their parents, completely unaware of the impending danger.

"There are many ordinary people here."

"so what?"

Qianxuan's eyes remained completely calm.

"That's how war is. Ninjas fight, and civilians pay the price. They live here, enjoying the protection of Kirigakure, so they have to bear the corresponding risks. It's fair."

His words, cold and realistic, were like the sharpest knife, piercing into Yecang's heart.

Yekura's body swayed.

Yes, that's how war is.

She knows better than anyone.

She was once the one wielding the butcher's knife.

For the sake of the village, she killed enemies and also accidentally injured civilians.

At that time, she told herself that this was for peace, a necessary sacrifice.

But now, when she herself has become a pawn that can be "sacrificed," she realizes how empty and ridiculous those so-called "righteous causes" are.

"don't want."

She reached out and grabbed Qianxuan's sleeve.

He wasn't particularly strong, but he possessed an undeniable determination.

Please.

Her voice carried a hint of pleading.

"Don't do it here. Don't... drag more innocent people into this."

Qianxuan stopped in his tracks.

He looked down at the hand that was gripping his sleeve tightly.

The hand that once could conjure earth-shattering fireballs was now trembling slightly.

He was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

"Tsk."

He smacked his lips, his face revealing undisguised disdain.

"A troublesome woman."

He turned around, looked at Yecang's face, which was filled with struggle and pleading, and finally waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, alright, I got it. I'll do as you say, I won't do anything."

"But I'm making this clear,"

He added fiercely,

"If we get caught, I'll use you as a human shield. With your physique, you should be able to take a few water dragon bullets."

Ye Cang was stunned.

She didn't expect him to agree so easily.

Looking at his face, which seemed to say "You're such a nuisance," she felt as if something gently knocked open a crack in the cold, hardened place in her heart caused by betrayal.

……

The ship slowly sailed away from the harbor, leaving that oppressive land far behind.

There were only two people in the cramped cabin.

Qian Xuan lay sprawled on the only bed, his hands behind his head, humming an off-key version of "The Bluebird."

Yecang hugged her knees, shrinking into the farthest corner of the room, like a frightened hedgehog, maintaining an absolutely safe distance from him.

The waves gently lapped against the hull, making a rhythmic sound.

Silence is spreading.

"you……"

In the end, it was Yekura who broke the silence first.

"Why...did you agree to my request?"

"I've already told you, you're a nuisance."

Qian Xuan didn't even lift his eyelids.

"If I don't agree, are you planning to cry the whole way on the ship? I'm a soft-hearted person, and I can't stand seeing pretty girls cry."

Yekura's lips twitched.

She knew she wouldn't hear a single serious word from this man.

She changed the question.

"Um... Lady Tsunade... is what you said true?"

When she asked the question, her voice sounded somewhat uncertain.

"Of course it's true!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xuan instantly perked up. He leaped out of bed, sat cross-legged, his face beaming with smugness and pride.

"Let me tell you, don't be fooled by how fierce she is usually, always threatening to break my legs. It's all fake! It's just her way of expressing affection! The kind of feelings we have are beyond the comprehension of you mortals."

As he spoke, he nodded seriously, as if what he was saying was some profound truth.

Yekura: "..."

Looking at the man before her, at his expression that practically screamed "I'm bragging," she felt, for the first time, a deep sense of sympathy for the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

"Then... my bloodline limit..."

"talent."

Qian Xuan stretched out his finger and tapped his temple, his inscrutable expression making him look like a charlatan.

"Dude, I'm just that talented. I can learn it after just one look. You should feel honored that your ninjutsu has earned the recognition of a genius like me."

Yekura was completely speechless.

She felt that if she continued talking to this man, she would either be driven to death by anger or be brainwashed by his twisted logic and become a madman like him.

Silence returned to the cabin.

After boasting for a while, Qian Xuan also felt a bit thirsty, so he lay back down and soon began to breathe steadily.

Ye Cang sat in the corner, looking at the man who was already asleep.

In his sleep, he was no longer the lazy and unserious man he usually was.

His handsome face had soft features, making him look like a harmless boy next door.

But this same man destroyed a naval port just a few days ago.

The idea of ​​blowing up another port was abandoned simply because of her request.

He was like a devil, tempting people to fall, and acting without any restraint.

Yet, unintentionally, he revealed a trace of human warmth that even he himself was unaware of.

She gambled her future on this madman.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

Just as Ye Cang was lost in thought, the man on the bed suddenly turned over and mumbled something in his sleep.

"Tsunade...don't run away...hehe...your feet...are so beautiful..."

Yekura: "..."

She silently buried her face in her knees.

Retract the foreword.

Following this man was definitely the most unfortunate decision she had ever made in her life.
