If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

"Go back and get married with Mi Yan?"

Xiaonan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

She stood there, her mind in chaos. These words were like sudden bombs, exploding in her heart.

She clearly understood the meaning of each word, but when they were put together, they seemed to become an obscure spell that made her feel so lost and confused.

She tried to sort out her thoughts and imagine this scene, but more and more chaotic thoughts were like tangled threads, becoming more and more tangled, making it increasingly difficult for her to understand.

What kind of beautiful world would allow me to marry Yahiko?

Marrying Yahiko...

What a happy thing it would be if it could be realized in the most innocent time...

At that time...I liked him so much...

But war, disaster, death...

These make even something as simple as getting married so difficult...

If you have to struggle to survive, then talking about happiness...isn't it sad and ridiculous...

Xiaonan looked at the distraught Xiaonan and sighed secretly.

"Unfortunately, it's too late."

"But...it doesn't seem too late..."

......

Kirigakure Village.

"We have obtained intelligence information through torture."

"The Empire's army this time is divided into five major parts, each corresponding to our five major countries."

"There are probably about 200,000 people coming."

"And their lowest strength is that of a jonin!"

"In addition to this, there are four beings with Six Paths-level strength!"

"Their cross-border transmission channel is in a certain area of ​​our world. He doesn't have enough authority, so I didn't find out."

"This person is called Luo Sha. He is the highest administrator of the Wind Country in the Empire. Their world is called the Wind Province, and the highest administrative person in charge is the governor."

Everyone present listened to Kakashi's report with grim expressions.

"Okay, I see."

There was no expression on Hashirama's face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Let's wipe out the enemies in the Water Country first!"

......

Nannan's family, who had already planned to go find help, were already standing at the door.

"Really...are we going to fight those ninjas?"

Grandma is still a little worried.

"Mom! Our daughters have all been taken away!"

The mother's words were somewhat urgent.

"But... Nannan is just a girl. Even if she was captured, she should be a logistics or medical ninja. We got so much food..."

"It's not impossible to have another child... at worst the two of us old people won't eat anymore..."

"I'm really afraid that I'll vent my anger on them and bring bad luck to our daughter and us..."

Grandma's words left people silent.

"It looks like... you need help?"

"Old man, and everyone! I'm the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Chojuro! I'm back with reinforcements!"

Looking at the large, though not numerous, but densely packed, ninjas, the family had a look of fear on their faces, but also some excitement.

"You...you..."

"Save my child! My child has been captured by the Empire!"

The mother suddenly prostrated herself on the ground and bowed to the group of people.

Chojuro quickly helped the mother up and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to do this. We are here to rescue the villagers who were captured. Don't worry!"

Hashirama turned around and looked at the ninjas behind him, and waved his hand, "Stay where you are! We'll go find out what's going on!"

Hashirama led the three Kages of Konoha and Chojuro into the family's house.

Just when they understood the situation clearly and some of them were indignant complaining that a living child was exchanged for a little food, Nannan came back.

"Nanny?"

The mother stood up excitedly and held her in her arms.

"and many more!"

Minato snatched the child away in an instant.

The mother suddenly looked nervous.

"Don't be nervous! Let me check if there are any signs of transformation!"

Minato gave his mother a reassuring smile, then frowned as he examined her.

"Nothing...nothing..."

"There are no injuries, and no signs of ninjutsu..."

"Your name is Nannan, right? Nannan, tell uncle what they took you to do, okay?"

Nannan nodded obediently.

“They took me to school…”

"I learned a lot of new things, such as my father's hard work, my mother's hard work, the love of my family, and the definition of happiness."

What she said was so vague that the whole group of people were confused.

The mother's worries just now became even more intense.

"My daughter can't have this culture, these words can't come out of her mouth!"

The mother was nervous and suspected that her daughter was being controlled by some magic.

"Mom, this is what the teachers at the Empire School taught me."

"They teach you? Where is the school?"

Minato asked.

"The school...seems like some bad guys came and they left first, saying they were afraid of affecting our lives."

?

Hashirama, Tobirama, the Third and Fourth Generations looked at each other.

So we are the bad guys?

Soon, Nannan showed her rich knowledge, which made the whole family full of praise for the empire again.

They also began to unconsciously resist the group of people in front of them, and their words and actions showed their intention to drive them away.

In fact, because of the emergence and choice of the empire, they became a little tougher towards the group of people in front of them.

Of course, it's only a little bit, still humble, but not so hopelessly humble.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to visit that so-called school." Hashirama said solemnly.

"I agree with what Big Brother says," Tobirama agreed.

"But the most urgent thing now is to find out what happened to Nannan." Shuimen said, "Maybe we can learn something from other villagers."

So, the group decided to investigate in the village and look for clues.

Soon after, they discovered that many children in the villagers had had similar experiences - they were taken away and sent back, and learned some knowledge and concepts that they did not originally possess.

As the investigation deepened, they were shocked by a piece of news.

"So they relied on illusion to instill this knowledge into the memories of these children in a short period of time! How despicable!"

Tobirama snorted coldly.

They returned to Nannan's house.

The schools these children remember are now empty.

"These guys run pretty fast!"

The third generation breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that they were running definitely meant that they did not have the strength to deal with them for the time being.

The group decided to search for clues nearby to see if they could find any traces of the casters. They dispersed and searched every corner carefully.

Soon, Tobirama found some strange traces in a forest, as if they were left by someone who left in a hurry.

He followed the trail and eventually came to a hidden cave.

There was a mysterious atmosphere in the cave, and Tobirama entered it cautiously.

Deep in the cave, he found some remnants of illusion arrays and quite a few books.

Tobirama picked up the book and began to read it carefully.

The words and patterns in the book made him frown, as they seemed to contain some powerful illusionary power.

Just as he was thinking, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of strange smell.

Tobirama instantly became alert and turned to look at the cave entrance.

I saw a figure slowly walking towards me, with his eyes emitting a strange light.
