The Land of Grass remained peaceful today.
While it was also a remote country bordering the two great nations, compared to the Land of Rain, which had crippled and ruined itself in a war, falling into endless civil strife, the Land of Grass was much more peaceful.
Under Amang's five-year plan, the Land of Grass was currently immersed in construction and development, with no one having the time or inclination for anything else.
However.
As the weather grew colder, the Land of Grass seemed to have pressed the pause button, and the entire country appeared much quieter than usual.
Even schools had suspended classes.
But amidst this quiet, there was a faint, happy atmosphere.
"Nagato, what are you doing?"
Wrapped up warmly, even his ears covered, wearing a thick coat and looking chubby, Nagato heard Yahiko call his name. He turned his head, glanced at Yahiko who had walked in, and then ignored him, turning back to quietly shovel snow.
Yahiko walked over and looked curiously. "Why are you shoveling snow here?"
"Planting flowers!"
"??? Flowers bloom in winter?"
"Yes!" Nagato nodded, sighed wistfully, as if remembering something.
A few days ago, before it got cold, he had found a few flowers that bloomed in winter and transplanted them.
As a result.
They had all withered!
Never mind, it's better not to talk about it!
Ever since he arrived in the Land of Grass, he had been curious about everything and had also taken up flower planting.
Perhaps the weather in the Land of Grass was very good.
Not too much rain, and there were winter, spring, summer, and autumn.
Suitable for planting flowers.
Of course.
He also enjoyed cooking for himself, sometimes bringing his own bento to school in the morning.
However.
He wasn't really shoveling snow today to plant flowers, after all, it was so cold, planting them now wouldn't help them survive.
But if he didn't say something, Yahiko would probably nag him about something.
As expected.
"Oh, stop it." Even though he said he was busy, it was no use. Yahiko directly pulled him and said, "It's rare to have a holiday, shouldn't we enjoy it properly?"
Perhaps because his time wandering was too short, and he hadn't experienced war or lost friends, Yahiko seemed even more like a child now.
Carefree!
"Let me tell you, this New Year... the Land of Grass will hold a very lively New Year's Eve ceremony! Teacher Amang proposed it! This will be the liveliest New Year's Eve in the Land of Grass in recent years, it's very rare."
"..."
You say that as if you've celebrated New Year's Eve in the Land of Grass before!
We only just arrived this year!
But Nagato's eyes showed curiosity. After all, due to the war in the Land of Rain, his mother's identity, and the weather in the Land of Rain, he had never experienced New Year's Eve in the Land of Rain!
He had always stayed at home.
However.
He already knew about this news, after all, Teacher Amang lived next door!
"You're looking forward to it too, right! We'll go out and play together then!" Yahiko said with a smile, "People in the Land of Grass have been shopping these past few days, it's very lively outside. What a pity!" He sighed again, "If Father Mujitsu were here, he would definitely be out shopping too! By the way, do you want to go out and play now?"
"I..."
Before he could finish.
"Let's go! Bring Konan, I'll call Wu Wei too, let's go have a snowball fight!" Yahiko directly pulled Nagato and walked out, saying mysteriously as he walked, "Let me tell you! The academy is haunted..."
"You said that last time!" Nagato helplessly pulled his hand away, but still followed, "I'll walk myself!"
Teacher Amang already said...
Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors, be vigilant against being deceived!
Learn to distinguish for yourself, don't let others trick you, and he also said that he had heard that his school was built on a graveyard back then.
As long as it's a school... there's basically been this rumor!
"So, the academy being haunted is all fake. We are the new generation of students in the Land of Grass, we've been to school, we should believe in ninja academies, believe in science!"
However.
"This time it's different!" Yahiko shook his head, his expression solemn, "It's real! This is information I got from the next class, this is real news! You know... a few days ago, during class in the next classroom..." His tone turned sinister, "Suddenly, there was one more person!"
"???"
What do you mean there's suddenly an extra person?!
Nagato was stunned.
Before he could even ask, Yahiko said with a sinister tone, "Let me tell you! It's incredible! We were in class that day, and the teacher didn't pay much attention at first, but then, halfway through the lesson, a student suddenly pointed out that there was an extra person among them!"
His tone shifted, and his face even darkened. "Especially in art class, many people said they had also seen that mysterious student appear. And I heard... they were a student who loved to learn and loved to ask questions, but they always asked strange things, like, 'How do you draw poop so it looks real and smells real?' Because of that, they were also called the excellent 'Poop Ghost' student. They still haven't found out who it is; they're here one moment and gone the next!"
"..."
I was starting to believe it, even wondering if another student had walked into the wrong classroom.
But now...
Who would believe that?!
After all, what normal person would ask questions like that?
Even ghosts probably wouldn't ask them!
Nagato immediately lost interest and rolled his eyes, saying indifferently, "Don't believe rumors! Don't spread rumors! It's definitely other students deliberately trying to get attention."
"Is that so? But I think this time it's real! Because so many people are saying it!" Yahiko scratched his head, but still said mysteriously, "And we've even formed an organization to uncover the truth and explore secrets, so we've named it the Akatsuki Organization. Nagato, do you want to join? I'll make you vice-leader!"
"...Not interested!"
They even created an organization for this?!
Boring!
Uncover the truth?
The Akatsuki Organization!
He wasn't going to join!
After saying this, Nagato was about to knock on the door.
However.
Before he could even knock.
Konan, with her blue odango hairstyle, came skipping out, her cute little face beaming. "Oh, is that Nagato and Yahiko? I was just looking for you!"
"???"
"Teacher Amang is back! Sister Kana just got the news!"
As she spoke.
Nagato and Yahiko were instantly stunned.
"Teacher Amang is back?" x2
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!" Konan nodded her head. "I was just about to go pick up the teacher! Do you want to come along?"
Saying that, she started walking forward, and Nagato immediately followed.
"Wait for me, Nagato and Konan!" Yahiko called out as he hurried after them, still inviting Nagato. "Nagato, let me tell you! Seriously, do you want to join? This time it's definitely not a rumor, because so many people say they've seen it!"
"No! And don't believe or spread rumors!" Nagato shook his head and said, "The teacher is back, if you don't believe me, ask the teacher! That's definitely fake!"
As he spoke.
Konan looked at them curiously. "What's fake?"
"Yahiko said there's a ghost student who loves asking about poop and is eager to learn!"
"???"
A ghost again?
Last time it scared her for days!
If Teacher Amang hadn't said it was fake, she would have believed it was real!
Konan was startled, but upon hearing Nagato's explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yahiko. "How could there be such a ghost? That's definitely fake! Teacher Amang won't believe it!"
"But..." Yahiko pouted and said weakly, "I think Teacher Amang might believe this one is real?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
"How is that possible!" x2
The two of them said in unison without hesitation.
However.
It might be possible!
Amang, near the border of the Land of Grass, also heard the mysterious news from a nearby grass ninja, and his eyelids twitched!
A ghost student who loved asking about poop and was eager to learn!
And no one has figured out who it is to this day!
He asked what their leader intended to do.
Amang's mouth twitched.
Damn it!
Is this White Zetsu trying to complete the Land of Grass Academy's Seven Mysteries?!
Couldn't it just stay put underground like it should?
Always causing trouble!
He rubbed his forehead, but looking at the Land of Grass right in front of him.
Especially after seeing several figures faintly standing not far away, and then looking at the Uzumaki Clan behind him, who were excitedly saying, "It's Elder Yang Zheng and the others! The leader didn't lie to us!"
Amang also showed a smile and shook his head.
Forget it, he wouldn't worry about that for now.
Then.
He shouted loudly towards the Land of Grass ahead, "I'm back!"
Meanwhile.
Konoha.
The strongest ninja village in the ninja world.
At this moment.
The entire conference room seemed particularly solemn.
The Third Hokage, with his hands clasped in front of his chin, said with a serious expression, "What do you all think about this?"
