I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

knock knock!

Just as Bai Ye was thinking about something, a knock on the door pulled him back to reality. He closed the chat group interface and said softly, "Come in."

The sound had barely faded when the door was pushed open, revealing Xiao Nan carrying a stack of documents as she walked into the office.

"Bai Ye, you haven't processed any documents in a long time!!"

Xiao Nan frowned, her eyes full of dissatisfaction. At first, she thought she could get first-hand information and happily processed various documents for Bai Ye every day.

She even thought of what Nagato had told her before, that she should strive to climb higher so that she could meet more people, and she did so with that same idea in mind.

But as she worked on it, Xiao Nan realized something was wrong!

Is this guy crazy?!

She does nothing and leaves everything to herself. She never dealt with so many things when she was in the Rain Kingdom. She feels that she has become uglier than before during the time she has been with Bai Ye.

Every day I'm either processing documents or on my way to process documents. Sometimes I'm even woken up while I'm sleeping because I seem to have some documents that I haven't finished processing.

"Konan, isn't this normal? Look how well the Ninja Kingdom is developing now, it's all thanks to you guys. You've done a great job. Tonight, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen!"

"."

It's happening again!!!

Xiao Nan roared inwardly. Every time she complained, Bai Ye would say he would treat them to a meal and that it was all because of them that the Ninja Kingdom had become so wonderful!

At first, Xiao Nan really fell for this.

However, as Xiao Nan spent more and more time with Bai Ye, she realized that Bai Ye was just making empty promises!

She originally thought she was very easygoing and could calmly deal with anything, but after spending a lot of time with Bai Ye, Xiao Nan realized that she had been too naive before.

"Bai Ye, if other people saw you like this, what would they think?"

Xiao Nan hopes that Bai Ye can stand up for herself and stop leaving everything to their secretarial team.

Although this secretariat includes the experienced Genji and Chiyo, it also includes the younger and more energetic Kurotsuchi, as well as the calm and quick-witted Samui and Shizune.

Six people work together every day, but they have so many things to do. Sometimes Xiao Nan wonders what she is doing all this for.

I went undercover and worked from 9 to 8 every day, with no weekends off.

Nagato, do you know how much I sacrificed?

A pang of sadness flashed through Xiao Nan's heart. She would rather fight Bai Ye than sit here every day processing documents for him.

This lazy boss dumps all the work on me.

She actually had a biased view of Bai Ye when she first arrived here.

In Konan's opinion, Byakuya was incredibly powerful, having directly accomplished what even Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had failed to do.

He went on to orchestrate the entire ninja kingdom with meticulous planning, demonstrating his mastery of both politics and military power, making him somewhat like a combination of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

But after their subsequent interactions, all the filters I had for Bai Ye shattered.

"So what if others see it? Minami, they'll see how relaxed I am and they'll definitely admire my excellent team of secretaries. Minami, you really are the best!"

I really want to hit someone.

Hold back!

You absolutely must hold back!

Xiao Nan suppressed her urge to punch someone. She knew very well that she couldn't beat Bai Ye, and besides, she had to go undercover!

"I don't want to deal with these documents anyway!"

Xiao Nan was completely exhausted; she hadn't slept for three days and was determined to get these documents to Bai Ye today, no matter what.

"Actually, you could give it to a silent one, or if that's not possible, you could give it to someone else. There's no need to make things difficult for yourself!"

Bai Ye's meaning was simple: she could give it to others, but she absolutely could not give it to herself.

"Alright, come walk with me!"

Bai Ye got up and patted Xiao Nan on the shoulder, preparing to take her outside for a walk.

He also knew very well that if Xiao Nan's personality could be pushed to this point, and if he let her continue handling things, there was a high probability that Xiao Nan would explode.

Everyone knows Xiao Nan is furious, so Bai Ye certainly won't force her to deal with these documents.

"What about these documents?"

"Xiao Nan, you need to understand that people don't live to deal with these documents. If you don't deal with these documents today, you can leave them for tomorrow. But if you miss the scenery you should have seen today, then you really miss it. Do you know what it means to pick up flowers in the morning and enjoy them in the evening?"

this? !

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Bai Ye's back, her hesitation only lasted a second, and she finally put the file down.

Although Xiao Nan always felt that Bai Ye was spouting some nonsense, she ultimately chose to believe him this once.

Besides, she really didn't want to deal with documents anymore.

Walking down the street, the crowds were bustling. This was another expansion of the Ninja Kingdom. With the arrival of major ninja villages, people from many smaller ninja villages and countries also began to gather in the Ninja Kingdom.

As people continued to flow in, the place underwent four expansions, but even so, it still couldn't accommodate so many people, and the Ninja Kingdom continued to expand.

After leaving the office building.

As Bai Ye walked, he greeted the villagers around him with a smile, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Nan behind him and asked, "Xiao Nan, how do you feel about this place?"

Here? In the Land of Oni?

Konan remained silent, recalling her time in the Land of Ninja. She felt that this place was good; at least for her, she saw hope. In the Land of Rain, even with Pain, that was a country that was always weeping, she saw no hope.

The people there lived in poverty, which forced many people who originally lived in the Land of Rain to come here.

The war seems to have truly ended, just as Bai Ye had said.

“Great, I see smiles on the faces of the people here.”

Xiao Nan expressed her feelings, saying that everything here was wonderful.

At least everyone has a chance to survive.

With the continuous influx of people, various goods began to circulate, and everyone could do something to support their family.

At the same time, because there was no war, they were no longer afraid.

"But I don't know how long it can last. Just like you said, once the strong military suppression is gone, all of this will fall apart."

Xiao Nan was even a little worried that if Bai Ye died, it might directly lead to the complete collapse of this place and the peace that had been so hard to come by.

She didn't know how to go back and face Nagato.

It seems my heart is wavering.

But Konan suppressed the thought the moment it occurred to her. No matter how unwilling she was, the peace that Nagato wanted was at least because Nagato had become crippled in his legs while saving her.

Therefore, she will fulfill Nagato's dream, even at the cost of her own life.

"Yes, peace is hard-won, and it cannot be maintained forever. Often, even powerful regimes collapse due to their own internal problems!"

Bai Ye nodded in agreement. In fact, in Bai Ye's opinion, if he were to live a normal life, the Ninja Kingdom would most likely fall apart internally within a few hundred years, or even sooner.

"Is there no such thing as lasting peace in the ninja world?"

Xiao Nan asked in confusion.

She didn't understand. This was the kind of environment everyone wanted, so why would anyone want to destroy it?

"Ambition, human ambition is limitless. Right now, because I am strong, everyone suppresses their ambition. But when one day, an ambitious person becomes stronger than me, things will change."

There's also the issue of shared interests. When everyone's interests align, things are naturally good for each other. But when it comes to dividing those interests, things change!

Actually, judging from the situation of Konoha, when they first created Konoha, wasn't Konoha just a cake-making village?

Everyone who joins can have a bite.

As more and more people joined, resources became insufficient, leading to infighting.

Everyone is fighting for their own interests and those of their own families. Just like now, Bai Ye is also very clear that this ninja country is divided into the factions of the Kirigakure faction, the Hokage faction, the Iwagakure faction, the Sunagakure faction, the Kumogakure faction, and the alliance of small ninja villages.

What Baiye and Xiaonan were saying was actually meant to get Xiaonan and Nagato to say it.

If Byakuya hadn't wanted to attack Nagato, at least Nagato would have been a pitiful person. From the moment he was targeted by Madara Uchiha, his life was destined to be a tragedy.

"White Night, what if someone tries to disrupt your peace?"

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question.

Although we don't yet know Nagato's stance, perhaps after seeing all this, he will decide to abandon his previous plans.

But it's also possible that Nagato will never give up on this plan, but instead wants the world to appreciate how hard-won peace is.

Although it seems somewhat unnecessary now, Konan is well aware that Nagato has become increasingly extreme since Yahiko's death.

On the path of pursuing peace, some of his ideas did not originate from himself, but rather from the masked man.

Xiao Nan never trusted the masked man from the very beginning.

"This place was created to protect the people here from the ravages of war. If anyone tries to destroy this hard-won peace, then I will have no choice but to take action and eliminate them!"

Putting the cart before the horse?

Bai Ye suddenly thought of Madara Uchiha's words, and it seemed that he had also embarked on the same path as Hashirama Senju.

After establishing the Ninja Kingdom, Byakuya realized that this was his life's work, and he would never agree to destroy it, even if it was his friend.

For a fleeting moment, Byakuya could even understand Hashirama Senju's actions.

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Bai Ye didn't want to think about it too much; at least for him right now, there was no need to think about it.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 201 The Theory of Deterrence! Nagato's resolve is wavering, unpredictable!!!

"Xiao Nan, you seem to have something on your mind."

Bai Ye turned to look at Xiao Nan. How could he not have something on his mind?

At this point, Xiao Nan also clearly understood that peace was hard-won, and Bai Ye's actions were understandable.

With peace already in sight on one side and Nagato's dream on the other, Konan naturally finds herself in a dilemma.
