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

After several days of sea breeze, I finally smelled the scent of soil and vegetation from the land.

Stepping onto the land of the Land of Fire, Yekura was still tense.

She was like a frightened bird, wary of everything around her.

Especially when she saw the outline of the Hokage Rock, which represents Konoha Village, on the distant horizon, her steps subconsciously slowed down.

I said,

Qianxuan walked ahead without turning around, his voice drifting lazily over.

"If you keep looking back like this, we won't reach the village before dark."

Ye Cang pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but the hand gripping the hem of her clothes tightened even more.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

Qian Xuan finally stopped, turned around, and looked at her with annoyance.

Are you afraid we'll arrest you, dissect you, and study you? Or are you afraid we'll lock you up in jail and make you spend the rest of your life there?

Ye Cang's face paled.

Qianxuan felt inexplicably irritated looking at her like this. He hated dealing with these kinds of troublesome things the most.

"Alright, put your mind at ease."

He sighed, his tone tinged with impatience, but his words inexplicably reassured people.

"With Tsunade around, no one will dare to touch you. Konoha may have many rules, but it's not so despicable as to force you to do anything you don't want to do."

"As long as you behave yourself, you can live a good life in Konoha."

Ye Cang raised her head and looked at him.

Under the sunlight, the man's expression remained that smug, lazy look, but there was not a trace of falsehood in his half-closed eyes.

"Alive..."

She repeated the word softly, her eyes somewhat vacant.

What meaning does it have for her to simply "live"?

Qian Xuan seemed to see through her thoughts and curled his lip.

"Tsk, stop thinking about those things."

He walked up to her and looked her up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You will have two choices from now on."

"First, be an ordinary person. Looking at your appearance, you shouldn't do anything else; open a restaurant instead."

Yekura: "?"

She was having trouble keeping up with the man's train of thought.

Open a restaurant?

"Don't you believe me?"

Seeing her blank expression, Qianxuan instantly perked up, raised his chin, and his face was full of superiority, as if to say, "You have no idea."

"When it comes to food, I'm the authority. I'll provide you with technical support and teach you a few dishes, guaranteeing your business will be booming and you'll be counting money until your hands cramp. What are BBQ Q and Ichiraku Ramen compared to me? They're all little brothers."

Yecang watched him spitting as he spoke, as if he could already see himself becoming the God of Food in the ninja world, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"certainly,"

Qianxuan changed the subject abruptly.

"If you can't stand being idle and insist on fighting and killing, you can continue being a ninja."

"Konoha's mission system is quite flexible. You can only accept missions you want to do. If you don't want to kill, you can take escort missions. If you don't want to leave the village, you can be an instructor there. In short, no one can force you."

He shrugged, with an expression that said, "See how much I care about you?"

Yekura fell silent.

She looked at the man in front of her, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

He gave her a way out and the right to choose how to take that path.

This was something she had never had before.

In Sunagakure, she is a hero, a weapon, and a brick in the village, ready to be moved wherever needed.

She never lived for herself.

Why...?

She looked at Qian Xuan and finally asked the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

"You're so strong, why have I never heard of you before?"

That miraculous medical ninjutsu, that extremely superb swordsmanship, and that self-developed Scorch Release...

"I?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xuan straightened his back instantly, cleared his throat, and revealed a profound and enigmatic smile.

"I used to be quite low-key."

He walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a supreme master reminiscing about the past.

"After all, the tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind. Early fame makes you an easy target for petty people. You may not know, but there's that Danzo in our village..."

Yecang listened silently without interrupting.

"I've only recently begun to show a little bit of my strength."

Qian Xuan's lips began to curl upwards uncontrollably, and that smug, boastful air resurfaced.

"Around the time you set off for the Land of Water, I was bored, so I took my three burdens and blew up the Kannabi Bridge."

Yekura's pupils suddenly contracted.

Kannabi Bridge?

Of course she knew.

That was Iwagakure's most important supply line.

How...

"By the way, they also killed... well, probably several thousand Iwa ninja."

Qianxuan stroked his chin and casually gave an exaggeratedly high number, as if he were saying that he ate two bowls of rice for lunch today.

Yekura no longer knew what expression to wear when facing him.

Killed thousands of Iwa ninja?

Do you think the Iwa ninja are like cabbages in a field?

"After that battle, I suddenly understood."

Qianxuan was completely immersed in his own world. He opened his arms, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and his face was full of the loneliness of a lone swordsman seeking defeat.

"I think I'm terrifyingly strong."

"Nothing in this world can stop me now."

His voice, filled with a manic confidence, echoed across the empty plains.

"Don't even mention the Third Raikage or the Fourth Kazekage. Even the legendary Asura of the Shinobi World—Uchiha Madara—if he were to come and stand in front of me now..."

Qian Xuan suddenly turned his head, and a terrifying light burst forth from his half-closed eyes.

"I could grab him by the neck and slap him a dozen times!"

"Then ask him!"

"You son of a bitch, are you even going to dance anymore?!"

Yecang: "...".

The air was deathly silent.

The wind blows.

Ye Cang stared blankly at him, at the arrogant and unruly expression on the man's face, as if he had really beaten Uchiha Madara to a pulp.

Her mind was blank.

one second.

two seconds.

"puff……"

A very soft, barely suppressed laugh escaped from her lips.

Then, it was as if a switch had been turned on.

"Pfft... Haha... Hahahaha..."

Ye Cang clutched his stomach, squatted down, and laughed so hard he was shaking, tears streaming down his face.

She couldn't remember the last time she had laughed like that.

Since becoming a hero of Sunagakure, she has shed all her emotions and transformed herself into a cold, perfect war machine.

Betrayal, despair, death... all those heavy stones weighing on her heart seemed to be shattered by the man's utterly absurd words at this moment.

Grabbing Madara Uchiha by the neck, he asked him if he would still dance.

How can there be such... such an interesting lunatic in this world?

Qianxuan looked at the woman squatting on the ground, laughing uncontrollably, and pouted with some dissatisfaction.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth, what are you laughing at?"

Ye Cang raised her head, and a long-lost, radiant smile bloomed on her tear-stained face.

That smile was like a sliver of sunshine breaking through a sky full of dark clouds.

"It's nothing."

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, her voice still carrying a smile, but with an added hint of relaxation that she herself was unaware of.

"I just think that following an idiot like you might... make the future quite interesting."
