Chapter 193 Those who cannot obey themselves must obey others

Boom...boom...boom...

As the bells ringing from the bell tower echo in the sky, pigeons rise and fall in the sky in the morning light.

The hazy street was illuminated by dim light, and many people had already started their day. A strange pair walked on the street, but they did not attract any attention at all.

"Boss, what do you mean when you say you want to take me to the Hall of Valor to meet my old friends?"

Yun Chuan held Ji Yun, who was in the form of a black cat, with one hand, and used the other hand to follow the cat's fur very familiarly.

And the aura masking that he had already completely mastered allowed him, who was different, to perfectly blend into the ordinary.

"You've already asked all the way." Yunchuan glanced at Yahiko beside him and said calmly, "Didn't I tell you? I'll know when I go."

Yahiko followed him, scratched his head in distress, and complained: "I'm going to the Hall of Valor to meet old friends, and moreover, some old friends. I feel like you want to get rid of me, boss, and then send me to meet them." "

Yun Chuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the streets on both sides. He did not find the disgusting garbage and dirty water before. Except for some small vendors setting up stalls along the street, the entire Dawn City could be said to be extremely harmonious and tidy.

It’s hard to believe that this kind of environment could exist in a small, rainy country.

"Jiyun, the city's sewage treatment is pretty good."

Yunchuan first praised, rubbed the soft hair on the black cat's neck until it was soft, and then continued to ask: "Is there any news about the 'miko' I asked you to inquire about?"

Hearing this, Jiyun, who was still comfortably raising his head and squinting his eyes, suddenly lowered his head.

"Meow, it's not that simple, brother..."

Jiyun spread his paws and said helplessly: "Except for a few words about witches in the classics, they can only be found in the Kingdom of Ghosts, right?"

"Although the people I sent should have arrived in the Kingdom of Ghosts, the news has not been sent back yet, and given the high status of the 'Miko' in the Kingdom of Ghosts, I am afraid there is not much hope of inviting the 'Miko' here. ”

"Then I don't care."

Yun Chuan pinched her neck and smiled a little willfully: "The Hall of Heroes has been built. When the first large-scale battle begins, if you haven't found anyone, I will ask you to go up as a sacrifice." Bar?"

The sacrificial head usually refers to the person who plays the main role or leadership position in the sacrificial or memorial ceremony. They are the organizer and leader of the ceremony.

You need to be responsible for preparing and organizing the entire sacrifice or memorial ceremony, including determining the time, location, participants, etc. of the ceremony. During the ceremony, you play the role of host and are responsible for guiding the progress of the ceremony, such as reading out sacrificial texts, reciting prayers, etc.

Of course Jiyun couldn't do this kind of work.

"Oh, yes, yes, I tried my best, but if it doesn't work, I'll go to the Kingdom of Ghosts by myself."

Life is not easy, Maomao sighed, Jiyun said in a curious and distressed tone: "But having said that, brother, why do you insist on finding a 'witch'? There should be many people who know about religious sacrificial rituals, right?"

"Because I don't like those bald donkeys and believers who always talk about gods and Buddhas."

Yunchuan pressed her cat's head down and said with a smile: "In comparison, the shrine maiden who admires heaven and earth barely meets the standards I want to worship."

In the Hall of Heroes, the names of every war dead will be engraved on the monument in front of the hall. That is the home of the souls of all the "dead". If nothing unexpected happens, a time will be determined and it will be carried out on this day every year. Sacrifice.

Although Yunchuan doesn't care much about faith, it still plays a big role for most people.

In his view, only unforgettable hatred and unwavering faith can support the determination to fear death.

Faith can provide people with a kind of spiritual sustenance, allowing them to find solace and support when facing difficulties and challenges, seek peace and tranquility of the mind, and alleviate inner anxiety and uneasiness.

It can also be used as a "fad" to guide people to make the right choices. It is also an important tool for education, which can enhance people's cohesion and sense of belonging and let them understand that they are part of a whole.

Through this common belief and value, he was able to form a strong bond among most people, and treat fighting and dying in battle as an honor.

Therefore, the position of worshiping the head is very important, and it is better to lack it than to waste it.

Yunchuan looked down upon those chatty believers and bald donkeys.

Instead of believing in those so-called gods and Buddhas, it is better to believe in heaven and earth and worship our ancestors.

"But you don't have to worry too much about this."

Yun Chuan touched the back of Ji Yun's neck soothingly and said jokingly: "As far as I know, the 'miko' in the Kingdom of Ghosts seems to have a mysterious prophecy ability."

"Perhaps, she has already seen this 'future' before we decided to go find her. If she wants to see us and wants something from us, I'm afraid she is already on her way."

Hearing this, Jiyun did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned. Even Yahiko, who had been listening beside him, felt a little uncomfortable.

"Prophecy..." Yahiko's expression was a little complicated and he whispered, "Doesn't that mean that our future has already been determined? Does such a thing as fate really exist?"

If he hadn't met Yunchuan before, he would have asked excitedly and curiously about the future, wondering what his future would be like.

But now Yahiko has long been determined to use his own power to change this country and the ninja world.

If fate and the future are already predetermined, no matter what, the future will go to that predetermined ending. What's the point of trying to become stronger? The ending will not change because of him alone.

Just when Yahiko was thinking about a lot of things in his mind, he suddenly felt a hand falling on his head.

He subconsciously looked up with a blank look, and saw a face with a playful smile.

"You didn't really believe it?" Yunchuan patted Yahiko's head with a smile, "This is not like your character."

"If you can't obey yourself, you have to obey others. Such a simple truth, don't you understand it now?"

Yahiko may not know, but Yunchuan can still not know?

If the so-called destined future and fate are the stories of the two saviors in the "original" saving the world from the ambitious and villains, then this so-called "future" and "fate" are really ridiculous.

After he came to this world, what he said and did had already changed the original future beyond recognition. It is not certain whether Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto can be born, maybe it depends on his mood.

If it weren't for the fact that Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura were hiding in the Pure Land and on the moon, Yunchuan could have asked the pharmacist hiding in Konoha to castrate Fugaku at any time while he was still young.

However, even if Fugaku and Minato were castrated, it would be useless. The old man of the Six Paths is still alive, and Black Zetsu is hiding in the dark.

Although these two old swindlers are opposed to each other, they both attach equal importance to the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra. Even if there were no Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, there would be "Senju Naruto" and "Kaguya Sasuke".

It would not be good for Yunchuan to get rid of the parents of the two so-called "children of destiny" too early. Instead, it would make the identity of the child of destiny unknown, thus losing the control and prophetic advantage over it.

Yunchuan is indeed confident in his own strength, but he is not stupid enough to dig a hole for himself.

By then, he finally solved the five great nations, but suddenly two "Naruto Senju" and "Sasuke Kaguya", or even "Hina Otsutsuki", appeared out of nowhere, followed by two old grandfathers who gave cheats.

How about shouting about friendship and bond and "breaking through" to the level of the Six Paths, and defeating him, the "villain" who is the enemy of the five great nations?

So, it is better to subtly influence the parents of the two "children of destiny", control them in their own hands, and put them under their own eyes, and wait for the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra's chakra in the future before making plans.

"Boss..."

Yahiko didn't know that his boss had thought so much, he just thought he was comforting himself, and his expression suddenly became firm: "Don't worry, I understand!"

Fate, let it go to hell!

No matter what it is, he will do his best to make the future the future he wants.

"Hmm?" Yunchuan came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at him strangely.

What do you understand again? Your fate is up to you, not God?

After expressing his determination, Yahiko's mood also eased, and he asked curiously: "Boss, I have always been curious about how you arrange the pensions for those who died in the war?"

"Well, the families of those martyrs can be exempted from various miscellaneous taxes until their children are 18 years old and have the ability to be self-sufficient. They can also let their children enter the academy for compulsory education, and it is free no matter what they learn."

Yunchuan said naturally and casually: "If their children are under 15 years old, in addition to the five years of pension they have paid, according to the age of the children, their parents will be compensated for one year's salary for each year younger. If there are no children, relatives will collect it on their behalf, and that is another price."

Yahiko exhaled with some emotion, knowing that the boss would not treat those people unfairly.

Exempting various expenses, supplementing a certain salary, and a few years of pensions, plus free compulsory education, the children are almost raised, enough to give a family a new pillar.

It sounds like that, but this condition is better than the five major ninja villages, mainly because their troops are too many. If they offer more favorable conditions, Kakuzu, the Minister of Finance, will probably have to sell everything he has.

"But this is just the pension under normal circumstances." As if he thought of something, Yunchuan suddenly added.

"Eh?" Yahiko was stunned for a moment, wondering, "What is the normal pension? Are there normal and abnormal pensions?"

"You'll know when you get to Valhalla."

Yunchuan smiled and perfunctorily said, then lowered his head and touched Jiyun's head, reminding: "I almost forgot, remember to tell Shennong and others that those retired legion members, whether they are retired due to disability or age, must be taken to Valhalla to worship before retiring and then pass the retirement application."

"Those who have just joined the legion must also go to Valhalla to worship, and then they will be assigned to various legions. In short, they must know the existence of Valhalla and the existence of those sacrifices."

Yunchuan's tone was rarely so serious. Knowing that his elder brother took it very seriously, Jiyun did not answer half asleep and half yawned as before. He nodded with a serious expression on his cat face: "Okay, I will tell them word by word."

"...Really, why are you perfunctory with this sentence again."

Seeing the two of them so serious, Yahiko, who was about to complain, stopped talking and muttered something in a strange way.

He shook his head, which was held down by a big hand, and was not satisfied with the boss treating him like a child.

Although he didn't have his own subordinates yet, he felt that his strength was already ranked high.

However, for the boss, if he wanted to get subordinates and departments, it seemed that it was not only about strength, but also other more important things...

"What is it?" Yahiko scratched his head, and the red-haired blindfolded kid appeared in his mind. He complained in his heart, "Am I still inferior to that guy Nagato?"

Just when he was worried, Kumokawa suddenly stopped and said, "We're here."

Hearing this, Yahiko suddenly realized that something was wrong around him.

He didn't know when it started, but he seemed to have never heard any noise again, the hawking in the street around him, the chirping of crickets in the grass, and even the lively noise that should have been there...

He couldn't hear anything now, the whole world was as quiet as if the mute button was pressed.

Realizing this, Yahiko looked up.

What he saw was a quiet and dead "black".

Black doors, black walls, black pillars, black figures...

The entire outside of Valhalla was all black, and the surface was slightly reflected by the light of the morning sun. It didn't look dark and cold, but looked solemn, dignified, and mysterious...

The two people guarding outside Valhalla were also dressed in black, with silent and solemn expressions, looking like people standing in front of a tombstone reciting eulogies.

After seeing Kumokawa, the two just bowed their heads slightly to show respect, and didn't speak, as if they were worried about disturbing the dead souls in the hall.

Seeing this scene, Yahiko and Kumokawa no longer had the playful atmosphere of bickering and joking, but was replaced by a frozen solemnity, as if someone had opened a corner of the coffin, and any prying eyes would be silent and awed.

"Let's go."

Kumokawa nodded slightly to the two people guarding outside, and then took Yahiko to the gate of the Hall of Heroes, stretched out his hand to push open the several-meter-high closed door.

Click! Click! !

As the gate was slowly opened, the shadows of Kumokawa and Yahiko were illuminated by the morning light behind them on the ground in the hall, stretched very long, and stood quietly together, solemnly like the ancient portraits in the murals.
