""It's Shimura!"
"It is indeed the style of Strongest, and it truly deserves its reputation!"
Amid exclamations, Shimura pulled out Longsword.
"You won't kill me?"
Kotetsu was stunned, he didn't understand why Shimura would let him go.
"I will not hurt Girl's family who loves me."
Shimura said lightly.
"Xiao Ling told me you were her brother before this duel.""
When I read this plot, Nagato was immersed in the ups and downs of "The Lustful Ninja Chronicles of Shimura·Seven" and mixed with a lot of indescribable descriptions.
The protagonist Shimura's image of being both good and evil, romantic and unrestrained but emphasizing love and justice, as well as the emotional entanglements between him and various women Ninja made Nagato watch it with relish.
Although he was not interested in the explicit descriptions, he really enjoyed reading the relatively small main plot.
He has almost no experience in relationships these years, and he almost only cares about Amegakure and Xiao's development.
Every time he goes out, Konan hides his body with paper and then Six Paths of Pain carries out the action. Strictly speaking, Nagato is also an otaku.
However, just as he was sighing in his heart when he read that Shimura let go of his opponent Kotetsu just because the opponent was Girl Xiao Ling's brother who admired him, a familiar breath quietly approached, and then a cold hand gently placed on his shoulder.
Nagato trembled suddenly, almost as a conditioned reflex, and closed the beautifully bound novel with a slightly ambiguous cover in his hand with a "snap".
He turned his head stiffly, and sure enough he saw Konan holding Miwakan, standing behind him, tilting his head slightly, looking at him suspiciously and the book in his hand that was quickly closed.
Miwakan blinked his big eyes curiously in Konan's arms, looking at Nagato and then at Konan, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
"What's wrong, Konan?"
Nagato tried hard to make his voice sound natural, and at the same time quietly covered the cover of the book "The Lustful Ninja Chronicles of Shimura·Seven" with his hand.
Konan did not answer immediately. Her eyes swept over Nagato's slightly guilty face and the book that had been hastily hidden, and she frowned slightly.
She handed Miwakan in her arms to Tayuya who was following behind and responsible for taking care of Miwakan and sending her here.
Tayuya understood immediately, took Miwakan, nodded respectfully to Nagato and Konan, then turned around and left the room with the child in his arms, and thoughtfully closed the door.
There were only two people, Nagato and Konan, left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.
"What book are you reading? Why are you so fascinated by it? You didn't even notice that I came in."
Konan walked to the chair opposite Nagato and sat down, his eyes still searching.
She understands Nagato. If there is something that is not particularly attractive to him, with his alertness, he will not even notice that he is approaching.
"The Lustful Ninja Chronicles of Shimura" is now a phenomenal work in Shinobi World, and its popularity even surpasses many traditional Ninjutsu books.
The true identity of the author "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" has become a mystery, triggering countless speculations, but strangely, few people really dig into it.
After all, in the field of literary creation, it is normal to use a pen name, and the author's writing style is sophisticated and the plot is fascinating. Both the regular version and the R18 version have been widely praised in their respective markets and have countless fans.
Konan had heard about it a little bit before, and even caught a glimpse of the regular version by chance. I just thought the story was really wonderful.
But at this moment, seeing Nagato's "guilty conscience" look, and then thinking of the name of the book and the ambiguous cover...
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
She remembered that not long after they first came to Konoha, when Teacher Jiraiya would occasionally go home, he would gnash his teeth and beat his chest while composing his "Icha Icha Paradise" while picking up another one. The "evil book" that became popular on Shinobi World was said to have "ruined the trend", "stealed the market", and "the description is unsightly but makes people want to put it down", and the name of the book seems to be "The Lustful Ninja Chronicles of Shimura".
Is this what Nagato is looking at?
But, when did Nagato buy this kind of book?
With his character and experience, why would he be interested in this... um... novel?
"It's nothing," Nagato tried to muddle through, his eyes drifting away, "This is... the book Teacher Jiraiya left before. I dug it out when I was sorting things out, so I just looked at it."
He brought out the name Jiraiya, hoping that Konan would stop there.
After all, Jiraiya did leave behind a lot of books, including some "weird" works.
However, the more Nagato tried to hide it, the stronger the curiosity and the inexplicable "care" in Konan's heart became.
She knew Nagato too well. He was not a good liar, especially in front of her.
"Nothing?"
Konan stood up, walked around the table, and approached Nagato, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Then let me see."
"Konan..."
Nagato subconsciously wanted to hide the book more tightly, a blush of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Some of the descriptions in the book were too explicit. He didn't want Konan to see him reading such things. It would feel... too embarrassing, and it would also damage the calm image he had established in Konan's mind over the years.
"Be obedient, Nagato."
Konan had already walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and said in a calm but dignified tone like Older Sister, "Let me see."
She was actually more shocked than angry inside.
She never imagined that Nagato, who was once obsessed with making the world feel pain and shouldered a heavy mission, and Nagato, who now puts aside his paranoia but is still quiet and silent, focusing on recovering his body and adapting to a new life, would actually secretly read this kind of... well... popular novels, the kind with a little color!
The contrast is really quite big.
Nagato looked at Konan's outstretched hand, and then looked at the unyielding look in her clear Purple Eyes eyes, knowing that there was no way to escape today.
He sighed and took out "The Lustful Ninja Chronicles of Shimura·Seven" hidden under the table as if resigned to his fate, and handed it to Konan. At the same time, he tilted his head and his ears were a little red.
Konan took the book, opened the cover, and quickly scanned the table of contents and the text on one page. Sure enough, the writing was smooth and the plot was gripping, but there were indeed some... well, relatively straightforward and explicit descriptions interspersed between the lines.
She couldn't help but feel two wisps of red clouds flying up her face, but it was more of a feeling of being angry and funny.
She raised her head and looked at Nagato's awkward look of "waiting for trial", and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"So... you like reading this kind of books?"
Konan's tone was teasing, but there was no blame in his eyes. Instead, there was a sense of novelty that he had discovered another side of Nagato.
Nagato:"..."
What could he say?
I can only hope that the ground will open a crack and swallow me.
