Rated Hokage - Chapter 432

c429 431, strange taste

Xiao Nan really couldn’t figure it out, did he accept his fate?

She was in a daze for a long time, unable to understand, how could she accept her fate!

At first, when Hokage Xiaonan came to her, she could completely understand in her heart. She felt that she was the only one who was unwilling to give in emotionally.

But now… is this person in front of him still himself?

She couldn’t help asking: “You… What did your Majesty do to you? Have you been looking for you these two days?”

Hokage Konan shook his head calmly and said, “No, I have not been coerced.”

Xiaonan couldn’t understand it anymore. If this is the case, then there is no reason to do so.

Hokage Konan looked at her and said, “What do you think is a better future for me?”

Xiao Nan was speechless, she was silent as if she was thinking about the truth.

Hokage Konan said: “I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, find new hobbies, make new friends, and live a comfortable and relaxed life, isn’t that right?”

Xiao Nan asked: “Is this not good?”

This kind of life sounds really good, and when Hokage Xiaonan first decided to stay here, it was indeed what he thought in his heart.

Hokage Xiaonan said with a light smile: “It’s very good, and what I said should be realized in the future. The emperor gave me a good place to live, and gave me a lot of money every month. There are good roommates in the place where I live, they should become good friends, and I can also learn how to grow flowers with them.”

These things sounded really good. The current life of Hokage Xiaonan should be what many people yearn for, and she can indeed start again here.

What else is wrong…

Xiao Nan was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: “What about feelings, don’t you want to meet someone you like and can love deeply again?”

She also thought that Hokage Xiaonan had to pay a price for getting these, and that price was her own body.

Hokage Xiaonan looked indifferent, and asked back: “Do you think I will fall in love with others again?”

Xiao Nan was stunned, and she suddenly understood why she couldn’t empathize with herself in front of her.

After all, she still can’t regard the person in front of her as her real self. The things Hokage Konan told before are just a story that can make her feel empathy and sadness.

Otherwise, how could she, who has always been somewhat noble in terms of feelings, say something like let the other party meet someone she likes again?

The other party lived for nearly 20 years after the death of Yahiko in that world, if he would change his mind, he would have changed his mind long ago.

Her heart belongs to her Yahiko.

Hokage Konan said calmly: “My Yahiko no longer exists, what the emperor wants from me is meaningless to me, there is nothing I can’t give, just treat it as an episode outside of my life. ”

Xiaonan was speechless after hearing these words, she couldn’t agree with it in her heart, but felt powerless, she still felt that Hokage Xiaonan was forced to accept it.

“Do you wish so?” she asked.

Hokage Konan looked at the drink on the table in front of him, suddenly picked it up and took a sip, after tasting it carefully, he found that the drink tasted sweet and sour.

Even if the current life is not so satisfactory, I still have time and energy to drink this kind of thing.

Before coming to this world…

She said: “How can there be so many satisfactory things, it’s just whether you can accept it or not.”

She looked at Xiao Nan on the opposite side, and said, “I can accept my current life.”

Xiao Nan clenched her fist tightly, and then slowly loosened it. She stretched her hands on the table, looking down at the unmoving dishes on the table.

The other party can accept it, why can’t I accept it…

The “self” in front of me is the self that Yahiko sacrificed his life to save in another world, the self who has devoted himself to fulfilling Yahiko’s long-cherished wish for twenty years…

Although living in another world is unsatisfactory and full of misery, in Xiaonan’s view, this kind of self is perfect, noble, unsullied, and idealized.

She couldn’t accept that such a self would fall unwillingly into another man’s arms in the future. In her view, this was a betrayal of the relationship between her and Yahiko, and a betrayal of herself!

The two couldn’t reach an agreement, but Xiao Nan didn’t know how to persuade her, because she didn’t have a better solution. If she was advised not to accept her fate and be numb, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing when the emperor forced her ?

Such a result and situation made her feel extremely sad and indignant. How could the emperor become such an annoying person?

Is the emperor punishing them on purpose because of the wrong things they did?

But if there is punishment, wouldn’t it be fine to face them? Why bother embarrassing myself who came from another world…

Xiao Nan muttered: “No, it shouldn’t be like this…you shouldn’t be like this…”

“Xiaonan…”

Xiaonan suddenly grabbed Hokage Xiaonan’s hand and held it tightly, the other’s hand was a little cold, just like her appearance and temperament.

A woman is like a mirror. You can see a man’s love for her from her. The relationship between her and Yahiko has been supporting her for so many years, and it has become the deepest belief in her heart, which makes her so strong.

Xiao Nan seemed unable to bear to look any further, and lowered his head.

Hokage Konan said: “Don’t let me let go of all this because I have any obsessions, let me really start again.”

After coming out of the restaurant, the two parted, Xiao Nan looked a little dazed, she looked at the sky, and her steps were very slow.

The street was full of people coming and going, noisy, and suddenly a voice woke up Xiao Nan who was in a trance.

“Xiao Nan?”

Xiao Nan turned to look, and saw Ye Cang who had been gone for a few days.

“Ye Cang?” She was very surprised.

Ye Cang is wearing some formal and neutral clothes today, her aura is always strong and aggressive.

“You are…”

“Just came back from get off work, His Majesty gave me a new job.” Ye Cang smiled lightly.

“Eh, is it?”

“Well, the new job can meet your Yahiko.” Ye Cang laughed again.

“Huh?” Xiaonan was even more surprised. She knew the nature of Yahiko’s work, and he was in a high position in the village. He was regarded as an official in the administration of the empire, and Ye Cang was one of the ten crown guards. There should be no relationship between the two.

She was stunned for a moment and asked, “What job?”

“The assistant governor of the province of fire.” Ye Cang said casually.

“Auxiliary government… so amazing!”

“Let’s find a place to sit and talk.”

The two went back to the izakaya that Xiao Nan just came out of. Ye Cang asked for wine, but Xiao Nan didn’t want to drink, so Ye Cang ordered a few more dishes and a drink for her.

Xiao Nan felt that the scene in front of her was very familiar.

“It’s just a mess. Your Majesty gave me such a job because I was Fengying and was in charge of a village’s government affairs. I have experience in this field.”

Ye Cang began to complain after drinking a glass of wine.

“Among the senior officials of the empire, ninjas only account for a very small part. Most of the ninjas don’t have the ability in this area. Talents are scarce. I think Yahiko has a bright future.”

Xiao Nan nodded lightly: “That’s it…”

Yahiko really likes his current job and is very enthusiastic. Now that the world is peaceful, Yahiko also has a new ambition.

“What about you?” Ye Cang said suddenly.

“Me?” Xiao Nan asked in surprise.

Ye Cang explained: “I mean, are you interested in finding a job in this field for yourself? You were also a high-level executive in the former Yuyin Village?”

Xiao Nan smiled and said, “I’ll forget it, I’m not very interested in this aspect.”

She had done a lot of village management in Yuyin Village back then, but all of them were to help Yahiko share his worries, for the common ideal of the three of them.

Now she doesn’t need to do that anymore.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Ye Cang said leisurely: “Power is a good thing. With it, you can do more things, and make many things develop in the direction you expect.”

Xiao Nan smiled strangely, she was not a simple little girl, so she naturally understood the meaning of the former Kazekage woman in front of her: “Are you bewitching me?”

Ye Cang smiled lightly and said, “It’s just a sudden emotion. I thought that after the establishment of the empire, I would no longer engage in this kind of work. I didn’t expect His Majesty to put me in such a high position all of a sudden.”

Xiao Nan said: “The main reason is that you, Ye Cang, have such ability and are worthy of such a position.”

Ye Cang shook his head: “There are more capable people, I’m just lucky.”

“Really?” Xiao Nan tilted his head.

Ye Cang looked at Xiao Nan, suddenly smiled and said, “Actually, we’re pretty much the same.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“We have all received the goodwill from His Majesty when we were young, and the fate we formed at that time.”

His Majesty the Emperor sent a message to the Akatsuki organization of the Land of Rain when he was young, and helped them smash the conspiracy of Sanjiao Hanzo, and helped them take charge of Yuyin Village.

It was also when His Majesty was a teenager that he helped Ye Cang of Sand Hidden Village ascend to the position of Fengying.

“At that time, I felt that His Majesty is not a mortal.” Ye Cang said, and then chuckled: “Of course I didn’t expect His Majesty to be so powerful.”

Even the Renzong established by the legendary Immortal of the Six Paths is not as good as today’s Sun Yao Empire.

“Your Majesty is the pioneer of the times. In my heart, no one can compare with him. It was the luck of my life to receive His Majesty’s kindness. I hope I can always follow him.”

When Ye Cang said these words, his eyes couldn’t help shining, and at the same time he was watching Xiao Nan in front of him.

Xiao Nan couldn’t bear this kind of staring, and she also agreed: “Your Majesty is indeed a god-like person.”

She had indeed thought this way before, and she was in awe of the emperor, but what happened in the past two days made her change her mind. Even so, she could not deny His Majesty’s great achievements.

She was conflicted. She was feeling dissatisfied with a man whom the whole world admired.

The matter of Hokage Konan began to creep up on her mind again, making her very upset, and she sighed for a long time.

“What’s wrong?” asked Ye Cang on the opposite side.

“nothing.”

“It’s boring for you to drink that.” Ye Cang gestured to the drink in front of her, and pouted at the wine bottle on the table.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Nan poured himself a glass of wine.

Drank it down.

She thought of the first time she met the emperor, during the third Ninja World War, the weak Konoha was unable to resist Yunyin, and went to their Yuyin Village for help.

At that time, she was still surprised by the age of the other party, but the courage and strength displayed by the other party really surprised her.

They were very grateful for the emperor’s kindness when he was young, and they could only blame themselves for what happened later.

Xiao Nan looked at Ye Cang and asked, “How about you and His Majesty…?”

Ye Cang said casually, “I have confessed my love to His Majesty.”

Xiao Nan was surprised: “It’s…really?!”

Ye Cang smiled and said, “I’m not Ming, why do I keep my favorite things in my heart?”

Xiao Nan asked: “And then?”

Ye Cang said in a casual tone: “No more, His Majesty knew and didn’t say anything, and treated me the same as before, maybe… I don’t like His Majesty’s eyes.”

She said, sighing lightly.

Xiao Nan couldn’t help but said: “How come, Ye Cang, you are so beautiful and have such a temperament.”

Of course Ye Cang knew that he was beautiful, so he said with a smile, “Your Majesty is surrounded by beautiful women, maybe I am not the type that His Majesty likes.”

Xiao Nan was speechless.

Ye Cang continued: “I really envy those women, they are luckier than me to be favored by His Majesty.”

Xiao Nan drank with his head down and didn’t answer

Ye Cang looked at her, then suddenly smiled and said, “Xiao Nan.”

“ah?”

“If, let me tell you, if His Majesty likes you, what will you do?”

Xiao Nan’s heart beat suddenly, her hand holding the wine glass stopped in the air, and she put it down again after a while, looking around randomly, and said, “How do I know?”

But Ye Cang said with a smile: “I am asking you very seriously, just imagine, if His Majesty likes you, what would you do?”

Xiao Nan’s heart beat suddenly and fast, she panicked: “Why do you ask me such a question?”

Ye Cang said: “I have imagined it myself, but it is only my own fantasy after all. If what you think is the same as I think, then what I think should be the real feeling.”

Xiao Nan said: “It’s meaningless to answer this kind of thing, and His Majesty won’t really like me.”

Ye Cang smiled and said: “Why do you always avoid my questions, just let you fantasize about it.”

“I don’t want to think about it.”

“…”

Ye Cang stared at Xiao Nan who was bowing his head in front of him, and suddenly approached and asked in a very low voice: “Xiao Nan, haven’t you ever thought that His Majesty is a very good man?”

Xiao Nan was taken aback immediately, and the wine glass in his hand was shaken violently and almost fell off.

Ye Cang raised the corner of his mouth and asked: “There’s no need to rush to deny it, I know you like Yahiko, but it doesn’t prevent you from having thoughts about other men, it’s just an idea, and it’s not true, thinking about it doesn’t count as betraying Yahiko. ”

“…”

Xiao Nan buried her head there and said nothing.

Ye Cang continued talking, with a smile in his voice: “Do you know what she is thinking about every day? Once when I was sleeping with her, I found a photo of His Majesty hidden under her pillow. It has a very strange smell…”

Shua!

Xiao Nan stood up abruptly, the chair behind him was pushed to the ground, and the sound made many people in the izakaya look over.

There was a brief silence.

Xiao Nan’s face changed unsteadily.

“I go first.”

She turned and left the izakaya quickly.
