I sell sweets in Konoha

"At the embassy."

Chapter 238 Death of Junko

what's going on?

The heroine in the movie version, that silly miko, actually wants to see me?

Junko was shocked.

Ah... No, although she doesn't know the plot of this theatrical version.I don’t know much about the heroine Ziyuan in this movie version, but according to the general positioning of heroines, she is a silly and sweet girl.

so...

This silly Baitian wants to see her?

Did you make a mistake!

"The people in the embassy are very strict in their reputation." The ambassador saw Junko's frown and immediately said: "I dare to guarantee my future and even my own life. This is definitely not leaked from the embassy."

"I understand." Junko said, "This is none of your business."

This really has nothing to do with the embassy. Junko has specifically explained this matter to Shisui.

Notify the embassy two hours before her arrival.

Therefore, unless the embassy has been penetrated like a sieve, it is almost impossible for the news to leak out from the embassy, ​​so there is only one possibility for this matter.

"Did the witch predict it herself?" the ambassador whispered.

"Precognition?" Junko glanced at the ambassador and said, "What do you mean?"

"I heard." The ambassador said a little cautiously: "I heard that the witch... seems to have the ability to predict things. She can predict something."

The ambassador said nothing more.

It is not a secret in the Kingdom of Ghosts that this witch can predict certain things, and she is hated by the people in the Kingdom of Ghosts because of the things she can predict.

This thing is 'death'.

Human beings are destined to die, and this matter can never be avoided.

But even though people know that they are mortal, they don’t want to know when they will die.And this witch can predict your death date.

This is very annoying.

"Oh~" Junko thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's meet."

"I really want to see what this witch can say about Chou Yinwu coming out."

Junko agreed, and the ambassador began to make arrangements.

Because Junko entered the Kingdom of Demons secretly, it was impossible to do this with a big fanfare. Shion seemed to know these things, so she could just follow the ambassador's arrangements.

In the end, the first meeting between Junko and Shion was arranged by the ambassador in his own office.

It is not the safest place, but it is not the safest place.

After all, this is the embassy. Shion can't just wander around.The ambassador cannot make arbitrary arrangements.

In the ambassador's office, Shion and Junko sat opposite each other, with two cups of coffee on the table.

Shion looked at the coffee and then at Junko.

She knew that coffee was a drink that had only become popular in the ninja continent in the past few years.And the first person to make coffee was the girl in front of me.

But although she knew about coffee, this was her first time drinking it.

As for the reason, it’s not that the country of ghosts is too poor to afford it, it’s just because of tradition.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is a very traditional, conservative, and almost static country.Everyone seems to be walking on a predetermined life trajectory.

Civilians will always be civilians, and businessmen will always be businessmen.The son of an official is waiting for me to step down and become a ninja, and the beggar will lie on the street forever and never recover.

And with such a tradition, conservative countries are very resistant to new things from outside.

If it were not for the general trend of the times, it is very likely that the capital of the Kingdom of Ghosts would not even see the current high-rise buildings, and there would be no electrification facilities.

So even though it was just a cup of coffee, the 'new' and 'untraditional' were enough to make the nobles of the Ghost Country resist.

Ziyuan wanted to try this coffee, but just as she reached out, she took her hand back. She raised her head and glanced at the girl sitting in front of her.

Not much older than her, he has already become the leader of a country like himself.

But she is new, and there is a newness everywhere.

Challenging tradition and making bold reforms not only brought a lot of fresh food to the ninja world, but also brought a brand new model to the ninja world.

"Aren't you curious why I want to see you?" Ziyuan said first: "Or aren't you curious why I know you came to the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

"I've heard about it." Junko picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee and said, "You seem to be able to predict."

"Actually, I can do it, but it takes a lot of energy." Junko pointed to her eyes and said, "You should know that I have the blood of the Uchiha clan, and the ability of my kaleidoscope is related to time."

"So I could see the future for a while if I wanted to."

"Of course." Junko put down her coffee cup and said, "This will consume a lot of energy! A lot! So I basically don't use this ability."

"Since you're here." Junko said with great interest, "If you come to me, you predicted it. Then tell me what you predicted."

"You will die." Ziyuan said straightforwardly.

"..." Junko didn't answer, she didn't even react at all, and looked at Zi Aster blankly.

"Aren't you angry?" Ziyuan looked at Junko and said, "Aren't you sad? Aren't you surprised? I can predict other people's death dates, without exception."

"You knew you were going to die, so didn't you react at all?"

"Thank you very much." Junko said in a strange tone: "If you want to say this, it doesn't seem to be anything."

"You seem to be very confident." Shion said, "Is it because you are the number one in the ninja world? Do you think that no one in the entire ninja world can defeat you, so is my prophecy just a kid's joke?"

"Um..."

After listening to Shion's question, Junko thought for a while and said, "I don't know what you want to do here."

"If you just talk about death." Junko said very calmly: "I know a saying. 'Everyone is destined to die, which may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.' So I don't care when my death will come. , I care more about how I die than when I die."

"I am a warrior and a samurai." Junko said, "If I die on the road to charge, if I am killed in battle, then I will have no regrets and no fear."

"So your prophecy can't bring me anything." Junko picked up the coffee cup again and said, "Life is short. I am willing to let my life bloom at its brightest moment and I am willing to let her wither at this most glorious moment. "

"If you just want to say these words, then thank you has served your purpose. I want people to see me off."

Junko's words made Shion a little at a loss.

This was the first time she encountered such an attitude and she didn't know what to say.

"You..." She didn't know whether to stand up and leave or what to do.

After being embarrassed like this for a while, she suddenly asked: "Don't you want to live?"

"Live?"

Chapter 239 Aha~ Fate

"What on earth do you want to say?" Junko looked at Ziyuan in front of her as if she didn't understand and said, "Survive?"

"Why do you think I don't want to live?"

Really a strange woman.

Junko was a little unhappy. Is this the protagonist of the legendary movie?Why do I always feel that this guy is so sad!Very sad?

Moreover, we couldn’t get to the point of the problem even after talking for a long time.

So what exactly is this guy trying to say?

life or death

Come and talk to her about this philosophical issue?Does this guy think he is a philosopher?With your lack of energy at all, you are still quite a philosopher?A philosopher shouldn't be a man of martial virtue, full of sinews, and capable of saying 'Deep♂Dark♂Fantasy'...ah, okay, that's a bit off.

But philosophers are really not weak characters to be bullied.

So what does she want to express?

Hearing Junko's question, Ziyuan seemed to have a proud look on her face and said, "Actually, you are still afraid of death, right?"

Sure enough, even the strongest people in the continent are still afraid of death.The words she just said did look beautiful, but she was still very scared when she actually faced death. If she had the chance, she would definitely find a way to live without wanting to die.

"I still don't quite understand what you mean." Junko shook her head and said, "And life and death are not completely binary issues."

Life and death is indeed a philosophical question.

How you view death is how you view life, but this is not the main issue.The main question is, is there a philosopher per capita in this ninja world?I always like to think about issues of life and death.

I was asked that kind of strange question when I first met Itachi.

"The desire for life should be the essence of a living thing." Junko said: "This is a biological instinct that drives living things to work hard to live. After all, only having life can be regarded as a 'living thing', and losing life is just ' It’s just a thing.”

"But this survival instinct doesn't necessarily lead to a fear of death."

"This is a philosophical question." Junko said in a calm but serious voice: "And this is not what I want to discuss with you, and I don't think this is the purpose of your coming."

"If that's what you really want to say, then let's see you off."

Junko said as if she was rejecting people thousands of miles away: "I'm not interested in this question at all."

"No...I..."

Ziyuan looked at Junko. She seemed a little anxious and had something she wanted to say but didn't know how.

"You should know that I can predict other people's death dates." Ziyuan said.

"Yes." Junko said, "You just said it."

"So..." Ziyuan was about to say something.

"Slow! Stop it!" Junko immediately stopped Shion and said, "If you want to recall your tragic past and how tragic your life has been because of your ability, then please stop it!"

"Let me tell you first, the joys and sorrows of human beings are inseparable." Junko said bluntly: "You think the 'tragic' past does not move me. So please don't talk a lot of nonsense, let's get straight to the point. .”

"You!" Junko said word by word: "What do you want to do?!"

Ziyuan stopped. She seemed a little disappointed but also somewhat hopeful.She was not in a hurry or directly stated her purpose. She seemed to be thinking about how to better convey her meaning.

She thought carefully for a while.

"Life."

One word, a very simple word.Ziyuan felt that this word was enough to express everything she wanted to say.

But looking at Junko's puzzled expression, she thought for a while and said, "Do you accept fate?"

"Accept destiny?"

Junko looked at Shion a little doubtfully, looking at her look that seemed a little expectant.Suddenly, Junko remembered that a novel she had read before seemed to have a similar plot.

Even the priest in the tribe could see the date and method of death of others since he was a child, so he told a young man that he would die soon to let him pay attention.Although the young man paid attention, he still died. This incident made him accept his fate without saying anything.But after the protagonist came and told him some truth, the priest cheered up again and found a way to change his life.

so...

So this is the situation now?

Ziyuan is like the priest in that story and she is the protagonist in the story. The reason why Ziyuan came to the door is to prove that fate is not fixed.

There must be a way to break it.

Junko didn't answer, she picked up her coffee and took a sip.

Well, this is not to cover up some panic-stricken behavior.Junko just can't figure things out, and it's not like she's modest or anything like that. How could she, a bystander, become the protagonist?This theatrical version is clearly called "Naruto's Death", so why is it now "Junko's Death"?

Is this ordained?

So you should tell her that you want to predict that the person who will rewrite your destiny is blocked on the road?

Um...

Or because of myself.

ah? !Does this count as cheating yourself?

Junko didn't answer, but Shion was waiting for an answer.She did have some expectations when she came here, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

But the woman in front of him is indeed the strongest woman in the ninja continent.
