Facing Tsunade just now, Nanxing was really stimulated to a great extent.
"Is she old?"
“She’s not old!”
"She's obviously only seventy years old!"
Speaking of which, this is really a very strange thing.
It was so strange that even Nanxing was a little confused.
——There are obviously many older women around him.
For example, Fujiwara no Mokou who is over 800 years old, and Yakumo Yukari who is over 1,000 years old.
As for Bayi Eirin, whose age can be calculated in tens of thousands of years, and Houraisan Kaguya and the others, there is no need to say more.
There are even two young girls pretending to be young, Suwako Kaname and Tei Inaba.
But strangely, Nanxing didn't have any special feelings towards these people.
In his eyes, the 14-year-old Fujiwara no Mokou is just a -year-old girl.
Yakumo Yukari, who is over a thousand years old, is in the prime of her youth and has the best years of her life.
Yagi Eirin might be a little older - but she is the type of intellectual older sister, not at all old.
However, Tsunade is different.
She was clearly “only” seventy years old.
Even compared with Fujiwara no Moko, she is still a very young "little" girl.
But don't know why.
Her gloomy demeanor always made Nanxing ignore the fact that her appearance had not been eroded by time.
This old temperament kept reminding Nanxing that the person standing in front of him was not a young and beautiful girl, but an old woman in disguise.
"It's so weird. It's really so weird."
This strange feeling of separation is even greater than when Uncle Snake becomes Aunt Snake.
——At least before this, everyone knew that Orochimaru was a pervert, and no matter what he did, it was not surprising.
Everybody just watches for fun.
But this change in Tsunade...he really couldn't accept it.
"Years, beauty."
Nanxing put Yan Mo's love down and took another deep breath.
Now, he couldn't help but think about this question:
"What will Kikyo look like when he gets old?"
……
This is an unsolvable problem.
Because Nanxing suddenly realized that no matter what Kikyo became, he liked it.
——But if possible, it would be the best thing if Kikyo could always stay like this... 0
"Unfortunately, she can't."
Nanxing clearly knows this:
Platycodon will not pursue immortality.
As a priestess, she represents the most "correct" order between heaven and earth.
But the problem is that Nanxing has basically achieved immortality now.
The power of an immortal is terrifying. Even if the physical body disappears, the chakra alone is enough to keep them in the world, immortal.
——As to this point, you can understand it by looking at the Sage of Six Paths.
Not to mention, Nanxing can now easily get the seeds of the sacred tree, plant trees on Earth like Otsutsuki, and then eat the chakra fruit like Otsutsuki Kaguya.
In that case, he could become a being like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who could never die.
But in this way, the gap between him and Kikyo will become bigger and bigger.
"hateful."
“It’s the breath of longevity theory.”
Nanxing frowned.
But I couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.
Because the choice in this matter is not in his hands, but in Kikyo's hands.
"But no matter how you think about it, this is impossible, right?"
Nanxing was helpless.
To the extent that he once thought of secretly giving Platycodon medicine - of course, it was Penglai medicine.
But in the next moment, he abandoned this "evil" idea.
He felt that he should respect Kikyo's choice.
He also didn't want to be hated by Kikyo for the rest of his life because of the Penglai medicine.
——Judging from the situation of Fujiwara no Momoko and Kaguya Houraisan in , that medicine doesn’t seem to be a good thing.
Even as the developer of Penglai medicine, Bayi Yonglin directly called that medicine a "curse."
From this we can see that eternal life does not seem to be a good thing?
"Or, think of a way to make her a god?"
Nanxing thought again.
This may also be a way.
But it is extremely difficult.
Moreover, it also depends on Kikyo's own intention.
Coincidentally, it was at this time.
"somebody is coming."
Nanxing suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from the small path outside Maple Village.
He raised his head subconsciously.
The witch carrying a longbow, her red skirt is as red as fire and her white clothes are as white as snow.
Kikyo is here.
To publish the task.
Chapter 153 News about the Four Soul Jade
Mission hall.
The mission hall, which was once so deserted that even Nanxing had to post the missions himself, can now be described as "bustling with people".
In just half a year, the "seeds" sown by Nanxing became famous in Musashi Province.
Hinata Hanabi's working style of working so hard that she never had any rest time made her famous.
——Now, the entire Kanto region knows that there is a woman with white eyes in this world who will kill even a big monster for you to see if you pay her enough money.
"Sure enough, taking big orders is the best publicity for yourself."
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
He also asked the retired ninja in charge of reception to make room for them.
"Hello, ma'am."
Looking at Kikyo who was traveling with him.
He had the waiter's signature fake smile on his face.
His face was full of smiles and he didn't show his teeth.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?"
"..."
Ok.
This is actually showing off.
Nanxing was showing off to Kikyo his "business", which although looked very simple, was already of some scale.
But Kikyo looked normal:
"I'm here to issue a mission."
Kikyo's mission is not a big deal:
"The village with the demon slayer has been attacked by demons recently, and they want to entrust their ancestral treasure to me for protection."
"For safety reasons, I want to find someone to go with me."
According to Kikyo's description, this is an A-level mission.
And, since Kikyo specifically stated, she only wanted one person to go with her.
"Able to complete A-rank missions alone, and have the ability to fight against a large number of monsters or large monsters alone."
This restriction limits the ninjas who can take on this mission.
Either Nanxing or Hinata Hanabi.
There is no other choice.
But, none of this matters.
At this moment, what really matters is:
"The Jade of Four Souls?"
Nanxing asked curiously.
Of course he knew what this jade meant to Kikyo.
Her moment of destiny has arrived.
……
[The moment of destiny].
It is generally believed that this is an experience that everyone must go through and must overcome.
This thing is just like the tribulations in the novels about cultivating immortals.
Everyone has a mission given by God.
But not everyone can complete this mission as they wish and transcend their fate.
——There is no Kikyo in the original plot.
To be honest, until now, it is still hard for Nanxing to imagine.
Kikyo, who has always been wise and decisive, actually died at the hands of a despicable monster like Onigumo.
This can no longer be described as "losing one's mind".
"Perhaps, during the period when her destiny begins, she will be forcibly reduced in intelligence by the will of the world?"
Nanxing was guessing silently in his heart.
Isn’t this a common plot in novels about cultivating immortals?
The immortals who do not eat the five grains of the mortal world and only drink the morning dew and moonlight, when they are about to experience the tribulation, their spirits will be obscured by a wisp of gray air, and they cannot see their true selves clearly.
The most famous example is "The Investiture of the Gods" - all the gods on the list are like this.
