Chapter 602 Confess Everything

At the appointed time, Lao Zi followed Nagato and walked towards the Ninja Clan's reception room.

At this moment, Lao Zi was both excited and nervous, and his mood was a bit complicated.

The long-awaited meeting was finally coming, and Lao Zi couldn't help but be excited about it, but Lao Zi also had concerns. He was not the kind of person who could speak, and he was not sure if he could express his ideas well and not conflict with Sosuke.

Lao Zi always complained about Onoki in his heart. In fact, he knew that his temper was not good either, not much better than Onoki.

After entering the Ninja Clan's reception room, Lao Zi found that Sosuke had arrived and was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

"Teacher, the person is here." Nagato walked to Mu Yue and said.

Mu Yue smiled and nodded to Nagato, and then looked at Lao Zi.

Lao Zi also looked at Sosuke. This was not the first time he saw Sosuke, but it was the first time he saw him so close.

Soyousuke is not much different from when he is teaching. He still wears white clothes and often shows a gentle smile.

The long-awaited meeting finally began, but Lao Zi didn't know what to say for a while.

He wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't think of what to say best and in what order to say it.

Lao Zi was a little anxious. He had to start the conversation first because he knew Soyousuke, but Soyousuke didn't know him, and didn't even know his name.

"Have you finished reading the book? Which chapter impressed you the most?" Mu Yue broke the silence first.

When he first learned that Lao Zi wanted to see him, Mu Yue didn't know Lao Zi's purpose and thoughts.

Later, Mu Yue investigated the villages on the northern border of the Rain Country and learned about Lao Zi's actions in the Rain Country. Based on some information revealed in the original book, he had some guesses.

"Book." Lao Zi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what book Soyousuke was talking about.

"I've finished reading it. The chapter that impressed me the most should be the world after the ultimate goal is achieved, a world without discrimination, without war, and everyone is equal." Lao Zi replied, recalling the content of the book.

This is probably the most beautiful fairy tale Lao Zi has ever seen.

He can only use fairy tales to describe this ultimate goal. Not to mention war, even eliminating discrimination is a distant thing.

Because Lao Zi has been discriminated against since childhood because of his identity as a Jinchūriki, he knows how difficult it is to eliminate discrimination.

He is so powerful and has completed so many tasks for Iwagakure, but the villagers still discriminate against him.

"Do you think this goal is illusory and impossible to achieve?" Mu Yue seemed to see through what Lao Zi was thinking.

"That's right." Lao Zi nodded honestly.

In his opinion, this is a beautiful fantasy that can never be achieved.

The great existence of the Six Paths Sage, who was later passed down as the God of Creation, can only maintain a short-term peace. Can war really disappear?

"You should know about intercoms and TVs." Mu Yue did not continue to talk about the ultimate goal, and asked with a smile.

"I know." Lao Zi felt a little strange in his heart, why did he talk about these two unrelated things.

"If you were a ninja a thousand years ago, no, five hundred years ago, would you believe that there would be an iron box that could communicate over long distances without chakra in the future?"

Lao Zi fell into deep thought. Although walkie-talkies and televisions were not uncommon in his world, after Sosuke said that, Lao Zi found that it was true.

If he didn't know about the existence of walkie-talkies at the beginning, he would definitely think that such a product could not exist.

"The development of things always spirals upward. We can't think that it will be impossible to achieve it in the future just because it didn't exist before." Mu Yue continued.

"It's precisely because it's far away that that is the ultimate goal."

Mu Yue never thought that the Ninja Clan would achieve that ultimate goal in his hands. If he could lead the Ninja Clan to make the Ninja World a little better, like the country in his previous life, that would be enough.

"It's really like that. The Six Paths Sage also wants to create a world without war and where people can live in peace." Four-tailed sighed.

Looking at Sosuke, who was dressed in white and explained the ultimate goal of the Ninja Clan, the Four-Tails recalled the Hagoromo who told the nine tailed beasts about his ideals.

Thousands of years ago, Hagoromo founded the Ninja Clan, taught them to get along with humans, and talked about peace.

Thousands of years later, Sosuke founded the Ninja Clan and described the goal of a peaceful world in front of him.

That is, it was Nagato who had the Samsara Eye, not Sosuke, otherwise the Four-Tails would have thought that Sosuke was the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage.

They did similar things, had similar ideals, liked to wear white clothes, and had the Samsara Eye, which was really complete.

Lao Zi was convinced, and he felt that Sosuke's words made sense.

Of course, it might also be that he convinced himself.

Because the world described by the ultimate goal of the Ninja Clan was really a world that Lao Zi could never dream of.

The most he dared to dream of was that he could be treated as an ordinary person, and he never dreamed that war would disappear.

Who would not want him to realize such a beautiful and peaceful world? Lao Zi thought that there should be no one.

"I'm so rude for not telling you my name after chatting for so long." Lao Zi stood up and bowed slightly to apologize to Sosuke.

Because the Ninja Clan and Iwagakure have a partnership, Lao Zi was worried about being exposed and sold out, so he didn't show his true appearance and identity to Sosuke and the Ninja Clan.

Now Lao Zi feels that his behavior is disrespectful to Sosuke.

Lao Zi lifted the transformation technique, revealing his true appearance, and then introduced himself in a deep voice: "My name is Lao Zi."

After saying that, Lao Zi fell into silence, ready to face Sosuke's surprise and questions.

After all, he is a Jinchūriki, the most terrifying weapon of mass destruction in the ninja world. He suddenly came to the Shinobi Clan's Six Paths Castle under an assumed name. No matter how Sosuke questions him, it is not excessive.

"Yeah." Mu Yue smiled and nodded.

Lao Zi looked at Mu Yue with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why Mu Yue's reaction was so flat. The person he was talking to suddenly changed his image, and the person who changed was a terrifying existence like Jinchūriki. Shouldn't he be shocked?

Lao Zi noticed from the corner of his eye that Nagato also looked calm, which made him even more confused. Sosuke could still explain it as having seen a lot of storms, but how could you, a minor ninja, be so calm?

Although Lao Zi did not reveal his identity to show off to see Sosuke and Nagato shocked, the performance of the two made Lao Zi feel confident to show his strength, but he only got this kind of evaluation.

Very embarrassing, very embarrassing, Lao Zi was so embarrassed that he forgot to sit down.

He really wanted others to treat him as an ordinary person, but this was not the case.

"I am the Four-Tails..." Lao Zi thought that it was possible that Sosuke had not thought of his identity for a while.

"I know, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of the Hidden Rock Village."

Lao Zi looked at Sosuke in surprise and confusion. Since Sosuke knew his identity, why was he still so calm?

Isn't he afraid that there is some conspiracy in the Hidden Rock Village, such as taking out a kunai and throwing it on the ground and 500 elite Hidden Rock Village will come out.

"You already knew my identity?" Lao Zi thought of something and couldn't help asking.

If Sosuke already knew his identity, then Sosuke and Nagato's reactions would make sense.

"I knew it when I learned that you wanted to see me." Mu Yue answered truthfully.

Mu Yue knew that pretending not to know Lao Zi's identity would make Lao Zi have a better impression of him, but this was unnecessary.

Lao Zi looked at Mu Yue in shock. He didn't expect his identity to be exposed so quickly.

The Iwagakure of the five major ninja villages failed to find him. How did Sosuke determine his identity? They had never met before.

Moreover, since Sosuke knew his identity, why didn't he contact Iwagakure to inquire about the situation?

After all, he is a Jinchūriki. He should not be indifferent to the inexplicable appearance of a Jinchūriki in his country.

"The Four-Tails Jinchūriki of Iwagakure Village is history. I am no longer an Iwagakure ninja now." Lao Zi thought for a while and said.

Since the identity is to be exposed, it should be exposed completely.

Lao Zi's words made Nagato's face change slightly.

He was able to remain calm before because Mu Yue told Lao Zi's identity before sending him to call Lao Zi, but Mu Yue did not say that Lao Zi became a traitor.

There is a saying that ninjas retire, but retired Iwagakure ninjas are still Iwagakure ninjas, and Lao Zi is far from the age of retirement, so he can only be a traitor.

Nagato could ignore an ordinary traitorous ninja, but if a Jinchūriki traitorous ninja, that would be a big deal. Nagato, who had been taught by Mu Yue, knew the meaning of it.

Nagato hurriedly looked at Mu Yue, and seeing that Mu Yue's expression did not change, he was relieved instantly.

"I know." Mu Yue nodded and said, then looked at Lao Zi quietly.

Lao Zi: ...

"Do you know why I left the Hidden Rock Village?" Sosuke's calmness made Lao Zi confused.

Mu Yue shook his head. He only knew that Lao Zi's leaving the village was related to the defeat, and there must be a lot of things he didn't know.

Lao Zi breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was something that Sosuke didn't know.

But Lao Zi didn't know what to say next.

The development of this meeting was something Lao Zi had never thought of. Sosuke not only knew his identity, but also knew it so early.

This caused Lao Zi to have many messy thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't sort them out for a while.

"Let's stop here today. If you have any doubts about the contents of the book or the Ninja Sect, you can come to the Ninja Sect to find me. I will be not very busy next time." Mu Yue said after seeing Lao Zi silent.

He could sense that Lao Zi was interested in the Ninja Sect. If Mu Yue tried his best to recruit him, Lao Zi would most likely choose to join the Ninja Sect.

The Ninja Sect was too lethal to people like Lao Zi who had a tragic childhood.

However, Mu Yue did not force it this time.

Because although Lao Zi was strong, his identity was indeed a big trouble.

If Iwagakure knew that Lao Zi had joined the Ninja Sect, he would definitely try his best to snatch the four-tailed beast back, and other major ninja villages might also covet the Ninja Sect.

Compared with the Ninja Sect inheritance that was only rumored, the tailed beast was a real super weapon.

The trouble that Lao Zi brought to the Ninja Sect by joining the Ninja Sect was much greater than the improvement he brought to the Ninja Sect.

Mu Yue chose to let nature take its course, and he would show Lao Zi everything about the Ninja Sect truthfully.

If Lao Zi wanted to join the Ninja Clan, Mu Yue would not refuse. He could not refuse a like-minded companion because of a possible trouble.

If Lao Zi left the Rain Country tonight, Mu Yue would not stop him.

"I... OK then." Lao Zi still had a lot to say in his heart, so when he heard Sosuke say that it was over, he stood up again in a hurry, and sat down again when he heard Sosuke say that he could ask later.

Lao Zi suddenly remembered that Sosuke was still giving a lecture a few hours ago, and he had been giving a whole day's lecture to thousands of people.

When he couldn't think of what to say, Sosuke really shouldn't waste time with him, and should go to rest.

"Sorry, I disturbed you." Lao Zi said apologetically.

Facing Ohnoki, he can be a stubborn Jinchūriki, but facing Sosuke who gave him face, if he was still so stubborn, he would be a bit inhuman, and he would become one of those residents of Iwagakure who looked at him with strange eyes.

Mu Yue waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

Lao Zi felt that he didn't contribute, but for Mu Yue, as long as Lao Zi listened carefully in class, he was helping him.

After leaving the Ninja Clan's living room, Lao Zi returned to the hotel.

He lay on the bed, his mind full of the meeting with Sosuke just now.

"Why didn't he contact Iwagakure?" Lao Zi still didn't figure it out.

According to the behavior logic of normal people, Sosuke knew that his Jinchūriki had arrived in the Rain Country, whether he escaped privately or not, he would contact Iwagakure first, after all, the two sides were still in a cooperative relationship.

"Wait, Sosuke just didn't know why I left Iwagakure, but didn't say he didn't know I left Iwagakure." Lao Zi suddenly had an idea in his mind, connected his trip to the Rain Country, and found a blind spot.

It is known that Sosuke knew his identity a long time ago, and based on his eavesdropping on the conversation between Iwagakure and Nagato, the Ninja Clan discovered that Iwagakure had unknown actions in the Rain Country.

Combining these two pieces of information, Sosuke may be able to infer his current situation.

"Is it a coincidence that the second unlimited lecture is held at this time?" Lao Zi thought of the lecture that made Iwagakure temporarily give up searching for him.

Lao Zi shook his head. Although it sounded like that, most of it was his guess and had no factual basis.

"Try to ask Sosuke tomorrow." Lao Zi was ready to change his schedule.

Originally, he was going to leave the Rain Country and go to the Bird Country immediately after meeting Sosuke.

Now Lao Zi has many questions in his heart that have not been answered. He is unwilling to leave, and now he has an inexplicable confidence in Sosuke, thinking that Sosuke will definitely not betray him.

...

On the other side, the Rain Village.

Not long after Hanzo returned to the Rain Village, he received a piece of news that made him frown.

"Shimura Danzo's ninja wants to see me?"

Honestly speaking, Hanzo got angry when he heard this name.

"Tell him I'm tired from the journey and have rested." Hanzo ordered.

He will meet the ninja sent by Shimura Danzo, because the other party is the assistant of the Hokage and represents Konoha.

But he is also the leader of a village, so he doesn't need to give Shimura Danzo so much face and not meet him at the first time.

After all, it's not Shimura Danzo or Sarutobi Hiruzen himself who is coming.
