As the ship docked at the port, the several-day sea journey finally came to an end.

Generally speaking, this mission of responding to the intelligence personnel working inside Konoha was successfully completed.

Although Thundermaru was accidentally involved in the attack of the tailed beast jade fired by the nine-tailed Jinchuuriki after going berserk during the process, considering the nature of the regeneration of clones, Shiraishi could only sigh a little for Thundermaru's sacrifice, and even felt sad

Not in the mood at all.

On the deck of the third-story building of the ship, which is relatively close to the fort, there are no other people waiting to get close.

Shiraishi pressed his hands on the railing, blowing the cool sea breeze. The sunshine from the sky dissipated some of the coolness, making him feel quite comfortable.

After the aircraft carrier battleship docked, Shiraishi did not disembark immediately, but stayed here, pretending to be waiting for others.

About a few minutes later, with the sound of shoes stepping on the deck, Shiraishi knew that someone was approaching him, and he knew who it was without thinking.

"Asami-san, have you thought about it clearly? These three days should be enough for you to make up your mind, right?"

Shiraishi turned around, leaning against the guardrail, and scanned the person coming.

He was still wearing a white hospital gown, and his face still looked a little pale, as if he was recovering from a serious illness.

It is Asami Masumi.

She was left with three days of thinking time. In Shiraishi's view, it was enough for the other party to think clearly about the pros and cons.

Should he resurrect his fiancé and continue to work for him...or should he follow the original deal and part ways from now on?

Shiraishi just waited quietly for Asami Masumi's decision and did not rush the other party.

"What you said about the resurrection of the dead...is it true?"

Asami Masumi asked this question with a dull expression.

There are many forbidden arts in this world, which can bring the dead back to life. Even among the forbidden arts, they are considered forbidden arts among the forbidden arts.

If she didn't know who Shiraishi was, she would have thought it was a joke.

Even if you only have a glimpse of the cause and effect of life and death, you know that this forbidden technique is terrifying and cannot be mastered by ordinary ninjas.

"It's absolutely true... I have verified this ability many times. Although the conditions for resurrection are relatively harsh and there are many restrictions for me, Takeshi Fujisaki is just within the conditions for resurrection and there will be no problems.

I don’t think Asami-san needs to worry too much about this issue.”

Shiraishi answered with a smile, a touch of confidence showing from the smile on his face, and continued to ask:

"How about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Generally speaking, I will not easily agree to such conditions. After all, performing too many reincarnation ninjutsus is a huge burden for me."

"Should I be honored?"

Asami Masumi raised her eyebrows.

She was not surprised by this kind of restriction.

The reason why forbidden arts are forbidden arts is because this ability is a double-edged sword.

"No, it is you who have the value that allows me to perform the reincarnation jutsu. I think leaving you in the land of ghosts can create more wealth than a reincarnation jutsu."

Shiraishi chose to tell the truth.

The cultivation of medical ninja is still one of the top issues that ninja villages in various countries attach great importance to.

It is difficult to find many outstanding medical ninjas like Asami Masumi in the entire Demon Country. Among the other great country ninja villages, they are also high-end talents that have attracted much attention and play a decisive role in the medical ninja industry.

status.

A reincarnation of ninjutsu in exchange for decades of working time for the rest of his life, in Shiraishi's view, is a very cost-effective deal.

This is also the only condition he can use to impress the other party.

Apart from that, he didn't know what conditions he should adopt to allow the other party to continue serving the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"What a good proposal... Not only my fiancé, but also my life for the rest of my life has been arranged, so I don't need to wander around anymore."

Asami Masumi's expressions and eyes are very complicated, with inexplicable colors hidden behind them.

Shiraishi listened quietly and did not make any response. He looked directly at the other person, trying to see something from it.

Asami Masumi seemed to have made some kind of important decision, and took a deep breath, with a faint bitter smile on her lips.

"If the time went back to twenty-one years ago, I would probably agree without hesitation. However, what I love deeply is the man who will die for the will of fire. Similarly, the man he loves is also twenty-one years ago.

The me a year ago..."

Asami Masumi's eyes were empty, her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was caught in the cold wind, and her body was trembling slightly.

Bai Shi fell silent and didn't say a word.

"Honestly, I don't want the other person to see me now...this ugly, hateful and crazy look makes even me feel disgusting and ridiculous..."

Lowering her head and looking at her toes, Asami Masumi's tone was very complicated.

Time can change everything, and it can also change people beyond recognition and make them no longer like themselves.

That man followed his own path from beginning to end and died for his ideals.

After resurrection, how will he view himself now?

Just imagining such a problem makes me feel scared.

"Don't think about it again?"

Shiraishi sighed, seeming to feel the determination in the other person's tone.

"Well, no, thank you for your kindness. I have thought about it carefully. The me twenty-one years ago and myself are not the same person at all... Bringing a dead soul from the past back to this world also changes the world.

It’s nothing. So, let this beauty stay in the past forever and don’t tarnish it.”

Asami Masumi shook her head mockingly and rejected Shiraishi's kindness.

From excitement at the beginning, to complexity, and finally into a state of bewildered fear... She knew that rejecting such conditions would cause her to suffer inner suffering and deep regret.

Even so, she still decided to give up.

This is the best outcome for myself and my dead fiancé.

"Really? What a shame."

"Feel sorry."

"There is no need to apologize to me. This is a deal that you and I are willing to do. And, maybe I didn't think enough about it. What you said is indeed a problem."

Resurrecting dead relatives is indeed a good thing.

But if you think about it carefully, such a resurrection may not necessarily develop in a good direction.

Twenty years is enough to cause a sea of ​​changes. After all, Asami Masumi is no longer the young girl who faced her fiancé with some innocence and longing, but is now approaching middle age...

When I think about it this way, I still take it a bit for granted.

"So, have you figured out where to go from now on?"

Shiraishi was blowing the sea breeze and glanced at the sea covered with thin mist.

Asami Masumi's eyes also fell there. She took off her misty glasses and wiped the mist on them with a handkerchief. Then she showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth and expressed emotion:

"I don't know. I have no interest in the disputes between the countries in the ninja world. I probably want to find a quiet place, open a small clinic, and live the rest of my life normally."

◎

"In other words, Asami-senpai finally decided to leave, right?"

In the laboratory, Shiraishi placed Lei Mingwan's body on the operating table, and Lin's rather regretful words came from beside him.

"Well, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force them to join the Kingdom of Demons. Moreover, Konoha has confirmed the fact of her death and will not send out any more pursuit troops. With her ability, even one person can do it

Live a good life."

Shiraishi nodded.

The ninja world is neither big nor small. In some places, even the Kingdom of Demons and the other five major countries are difficult to reach. It is impossible to spread the intelligence network to every corner.

Asami Masumi is not only a medical ninja, but also a sensory ninja. If she wants to, she can disguise herself to avoid the disputes between ninjas.

Moreover, coupled with the funds that the other party has accumulated in Konoha over the years, including before leaving, he also gave the other party 500 million taels as a reward for working for the Kingdom of Demons over the years. In terms of quality of life, this money is enough to guarantee her for the rest of her life.

You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't need to earn a living on the underground black market for some petty profits, thereby exposing your identity as a ninja.

Even so, Shiraishi still felt regretful.

But if this is the decision made by the other party himself, Shiraishi can only respect and bless him.

I hope that this old classmate, whom I have known for nearly thirty years, can live the rest of his life safely and will not be involved in the disputes in the ninja world again.

Once involved in a battle between ninjas, even a strong jounin may not be able to guarantee his own safety.

"Didn't you ask her where to settle?"

"She didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. She took what belonged to her from me, disguised herself, and left directly. She probably didn't want to be disturbed by anyone."

Shiraishi picked up the scalpel and skillfully cut open Lei Mingwan's body, tearing the flesh and skin, looking for something inside.

"But it's hard to live alone. After all, sometimes trouble will come to you."

There are various dangers in the ninja world, and Lin is still a little worried about whether the other party can survive alone.
