Chapter 98 Why is fate so cruel?
"News of the Kazekage's death has spread throughout the Land of Wind. We don't know the Daimyo's reaction yet, but a lot of bandits and robbers have appeared, and the village's ninjas have to go and help deal with them for free..."
As they walked through the desert of the Land of Wind, Temari told Bai Mo about the current situation in Sunagakure.
The Land of Wind is sparsely populated and mostly desert, with its population concentrated in a few fixed locations.
Apart from the villages near Sunagakure, it's difficult for villagers from other places to run to Sunagakure to take on missions when they encounter bandits, and it's even more difficult to have money to take on missions.
"Is this what they mean by 'making matters worse for an already struggling family'?"
"Um."
Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Temari surprisingly did not refute them, but simply agreed in a low voice.
"Have you forgotten something? Only the swimsuit photos? Hey, Mutual Aid Alliance!"
"..."
After Bai Mo reminded her, Temari remembered that Bai Mo had told her to come to him if she wanted to develop her career.
"When you have some free time, remember to compile a list of the special products of the Wind Kingdom. The purpose of the Mutual Alliance is to exchange goods and develop the economy—this is not charity, it is mutual need."
Bai Mo explained the purpose of the alliance to Temari.
He vaguely remembered some of the specialties of the Land of Wind: distinctive flowers, tropical fruits, and a variety that was not as good as the Land of Water. But when it came to tuna, the Land of Wind was the best.
That's right, the Land of Wind also has seafood.
It may be poor, but it is really big.
In terms of area alone, it is the largest of the five major countries. It is bordered by the sea to the south and southeast, and there is also a bay that extends into the land to the southeast.
Do we need each other?
Temari muttered to herself, already thinking about what local specialties to come up with.
As she was thinking, Temari suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Where does Sunagakure get such great authority?
Even if Gaara becomes the Kazekage, he can only govern the area around Sunagakure.
Temari immediately thought of the Land of Water and the Land of Earth, which no longer had a daimyo.
"You don't mean to suggest we assassinate the daimyo, do you?"
Temari looked at Bai Mo in astonishment.
Let me tell you a story.
Bai Mo did not answer directly.
"story?"
"Um."
"Once upon a time, there was a believer who worshipped the goddess of fate. She believed that no one was more devout than her and that she would surely receive the goddess's favor."
One day, her mother fell seriously ill. A traveling doctor who was passing through her village wanted to help treat her, but she refused.
She said, "I believe in the goddess of fate, and she will naturally save my mother."
Then her mother died, and she was devastated.
One day, a merchant passed by and discovered that the village's specialty flowers could be used in medicine. So the villagers began to cultivate the flowers and became wealthy.
She alone believed that the goddess of fortune would lead her to wealth, and she could not accept the charity of the filthy merchant.
So she was the only one in the village who remained poor and destitute.
Later, heavy rain continued to fall near the village, and someone from a neighboring village came to persuade everyone to leave the village to avoid being flooded by the flash flood.
She still refused, believing that with the goddess of fate around, she would surely be protected.
She died this time.
She met the goddess of fate and questioned her, asking why the goddess never helped her, despite her devout faith.
Guess how the goddess answered?
"The first doctor, the second businessman, and the third villager from the next village were all sent by the goddess of fate to change her destiny, but she refused them herself."

Leaf.
After experiencing a second, even more terrifying ordeal, Naruto no longer trusts Boruto.
After learning about this, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally went to Naruto's house to persuade him, telling him that Boruto had his reasons and that it wasn't what he thought.
Anyone in the world could hurt him, but Boruto is the only one who cannot.
Naruto still respected Hiruzen Sarutobi, and after Hiruzen's earnest persuasion, he finally reconciled with Boruto.
Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with his grandson Konohamaru, Naruto, and Boruto, arrived at the forest outside the village to instruct the three of them in their training.
After giving some instructions, Konohamaru and Naruto secretly went to the river to catch fish, leaving only Boruto and Hiruzen Sarutobi behind.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew the time had come to subtly probe, and was about to say something when he noticed Boruto clutching his head, looking like he had a headache.
"Child, what's wrong?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Well……"
Boruto didn't answer; he was communicating with the voice in his head using his consciousness.
[Idiots, Urashiki is an idiot, and you lowly creatures are idiots too!]
[Li Mingming clearly explained it, why didn't he follow it!]
Boruto heard Momoshiki's somewhat angry voice and thought of the reminder the turtle had given him and Sasuke when they first arrived in this era.
Tell them to minimize contact with people from the past and not to change the past, otherwise it will trigger a series of changes in the future.
Hearing Momoshiki's insults, Boruto realized that Urashiki's desire to go back in time to capture his father was also a way of changing the past.
Is the current change caused by Urawa Red Diamonds?
[This shouldn't be happening. Our fates have nothing to do with you lowly creatures. We shouldn't be affected. How could I possibly disappear...?]
Boruto finally understood that the reason Momoshiki was in such a hurry was because he realized that he too would disappear.
"If you disappear, that's a good thing. Let's disappear from this era together and not go back to cause trouble for Dad and the others."
Boruto now had faith.
[Pshaw! Have you forgotten what I told you? You don't care about your disappearance, but what about your sister?]
[It's not just your sister, but all your relatives and friends will disappear!]
"...What exactly happened?"
Boruto's beliefs have changed.
[Hmph, I also want to know what that idiot Urashiki did! What you need to do now is correct this chaotic timeline, otherwise you, me, your sister, your friends, we'll all die!]
Momoshiki's voice repeatedly emphasized Himawari and Boruto's friends in Boruto's mind.
"Then, what should I do?"
Boruto compromised.
[Correct all the mistakes, then let the Rinnegan use genjutsu to adjust other people's memories, restoring time and space to normal.]
"I'm asking, how can I get time back on track?"
[......]
Momoshiki gave Boruto an example.
"No!"
[You only have two choices: set the course of fate back on track, or let your sister or friend take your place.]
"..."
[Change him, kid.]
"..."
"Boruto? Boruto? How are you?"
Seeing Boruto's pained expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi became anxious and prepared to contact Tsunade to check on him.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and used a communication ninjutsu on the crystal ball, Boruto behind him had completely lost his pained expression and stood up expressionlessly.
A deep blue chakra appeared on Boruto's body, one of his eyes turned into a Byakugan, and a horn grew above the eye.
"Let me think, what was that move called again?"
"Oh, Rasengan."
laugh.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard the noise behind him, he was about to turn around when he saw a hand wielding a Rasengan pierce through his chest.
His heart was instantly pulverized by the compressed spiracle.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's vision went black, and he collapsed.
Before he collapsed, all I heard was "You lowly monkey."
