Chapter 837 Nothing more than that
The local villagers of Sand Hidden Village actually don’t think the Country of Wind is a livable place.
The so-called "homeland is difficult to leave" means that it is difficult to leave, not that you don't want to leave. A place where it is difficult to even take a sip of clean water without peculiar smell is really not a place worthy of nostalgia for most residents.
It's just that it's more difficult to move to another place than to live in a rural area. Most people really don't have the ability to be "international residents." Even if ninjas go out of the country, they have to face ostracism from other ninja villages.
Daimaru did not expect that Xiang Rin would take the initiative to return to Sunagakure Village.
Faced with Daimaru's question, Xianglin answered well prepared:
"The ninja world is huge, but there is not much room for it. With my conspicuous red hair, I am destined to be unable to keep a low profile!"
"Isn't there a place that can be called 'home'?"
Xiang Rin, who was born in the Grass Ninja Village, had a not-so-pleasant childhood experience. The Country of Grass is a place full of sad past events. It is estimated that Xiang Rin does not want to go back to being a "humanoid blood bag".
The country of Uzumaki, his hometown, had been destroyed long ago, and his clansmen were scattered. He had never seen Xiang Rin from Uzumaki Village and other tribesmen other than his mother. He had no impression of the so-called Uzumaki family, and naturally had no sense of belonging.
After staying under Orochimaru for more than a year and changing several hiding places, except Uchiha Sasuke, he could no longer find anyone or anything worth caring about.
Later, he was kidnapped by Daimaru and hid in Sunagakure Village for half a year. Although it was very hard work, the rewards were not small. At least his strength improved a lot, and the benefits were worth it.
More importantly, although movement is restricted in Sand Hidden Village, at least it is very comfortable, and there is no danger of falling from the sky at any time.
Because of the blood talent Kagura's Eyes of Mind, Xiang Rin has a very keen intuition about whether the environment she is in is safe or not.
"I want to stay for a while longer..."
Daimaru waved his hand to interrupt Xiang Rin's words and asked with a smile:
"Before discussing the business, I really want to know why you don't go to Uchiha Sasuke. Although Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto are dangerous, you are still very useful and there shouldn't be much danger..."
Xianglin shook his head:
"Even if it is 'useful', it must have a limit. In the past, my greatest ability was to treat injuries urgently and assist Sasuke in his training. But now, I can do too much. Being too 'useful' is not what I want under Orochimaru. It’s not a good thing that something good has attracted Yakushi Kabuto’s attention!”
A person like Xiang Rin, who is a treasure, appears to be too valuable when she is not very capable of self-preservation. For Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, who have no bottom line in their behavior, the best destination is the test bed.
"Is this your intuition warning you?"
"Not entirely, there are also conclusions I came to after thinking carefully these days!"
The instinct in the blood to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages will only give hints, and Xianglin has to make her own choice on what to do.
Daimaru used him as a thorn and lurked around Orochimaru for several months, and there was still a hidden danger of being controlled from a distance in his body. Now he has been kidnapped by Daimaru for a long time, and he still doesn't know what tricks were done to him.
If Xiang Rin went back like this, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto didn't know what they would do to her.
I didn't trust him very much before, but now I am even more defensive. When I go back, I will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
"Isn't your admiration for Uchiha Sasuke enough to suppress your fear of danger? It seems that your so-called belief is nothing more than this..."
Daimaru, who laughed teasingly, couldn't help but sarcastic words.
"certainly not!"
Xianglin blushed and retorted somewhat unconvincingly,
"The separation is just to meet each other better. As long as I practice my skills well, I will be irreplaceable to Sasuke and I will always be re-accepted..."
Another reason that makes people uneasy is that Xiang Rin feels that Uchiha Sasuke cannot always stay by Orochimaru's side. The boy who is overwhelmed by the desire for revenge will part ways with Orochimaru sooner or later. When the time comes, the opportunity will come. .
As for the possibility of the conflict between the two and Orochimaru being backlashed by Uchiha Sasuke, the natives of the ninja world who do not know the true inside story have never considered such a whimsical ending, no matter how active their minds are.
A fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy kills a top master who has been famous for decades. This is a plot that no novel dares to write about. It has not happened in the ninja world for many years since the days of the "God of Ninja" Senju Hashirama. .
"What is the so-called 'long-term consideration'..."
Daimaru chuckled.
He no longer had the heroic rescue of the beauty in the "Forest of Death" during the Chunin Exam two years ago, and he didn't get along with Uchiha Sasuke for a long time. In his memory, Xiang Rin's unswerving love for Uchiha Sasuke, who followed him through life and death, now looks like Come on, it's far from that level.
The woman's faith that penetrates the rock, once she has the idea of weighing the pros and cons, she will naturally make excuses for retreating.
Love is not a rational emotion in the first place, especially when it comes to adolescent boys and girls Zhimu Shaoai. It is mixed with too many seemingly reasonable calculations, and it is not pure enough in itself.
"Is something wrong?"
Xianglin, who was slightly unhappy with Daimaru's perfunctory tone and attitude, asked in confusion.
"No, no! I'm not a few years older than you. You may not fully understand the trivial matters of love and love. I have nothing to teach you! As long as you think you can..."
Daimaru restrained his frivolous smile and explained,
"I won't ask about personal matters. Back to your request, it's not impossible to stay in Sunagakure Village. A little girl who has nothing to do can still afford it, but..."
After thinking for a moment, Daimaru continued:
"It's difficult for a 'Maekusa Ninja' with no legs to gain a foothold in the village. The Uzumaki bloodline in your body has nothing to do with the Suna Ninja. Rather, it may cause us trouble in the future. And You In terms of the possible benefits, the tangible 'inconvenience' is the real problem. Gaara and I don't have any objections to you, but there's no guarantee that other people will have objections! In such a big village, there are always inconveniences. Harmonious sound..."
"I'm pretty good at medical ninjutsu, so I should be able to help..."
"No need to explain too much, I understand!"
Daimaru smiled and shook his head,
"Many of your abilities were taught by me! These invisible and intangible benefits are not convincing..."
"Then...can't I stay?"
Xianglin's face looked a little sad. She had never experienced the wandering feeling of being homeless, so she couldn't understand the disappointment of being rejected.
"It's definitely not easy to directly accept an outsider whose identity and positioning are very embarrassing, but you can take roundabout ways!"
In Xianglin's hopeful eyes, Daimaru talked eloquently,
"As you said, with your bright red hair, you are destined to be unable to keep a low profile. In this case, I will arrange an identity for you in the Kingdom of Wind, and then make a decision when the time comes. After all, what you want is not A sand ninja qualification, but a shelter where you can stay..."
Daimaru never thought that Korin was interested in the status of Suna Ninja or the villagers of Sunagakure Village. Like Kurama Yakumo, there were only a few people who were even willing to marry far away for the sake of their status as ninjas.
Even if Daimaru wants the bloodline of the Uzumaki family to settle in Sunagakure Village, there is no need to be too eager now. The so-called identity is secondary, the key is the sense of identity and belonging.
Love doesn't just happen, time is the best way to accumulate it. Every trace left in Sand Hidden Village and the Kingdom of Wind is the key to maintaining the bond.
