"You have quite a good mentality, you calmed down so quickly."
Shiro's teasing voice echoed, and the other party responded with a question.
"Where is this place? Your residence or some other special place?"
Konan instinctively wanted to first determine her location, because that was a shinobi's habit.
"Of course, it is the place where I live."
"And this is also Konoha Village."
Konan's eyes widened when she heard this, full of disbelief.
"You are from Konoha?"
"Emmm. Not really. You can take it as me just staying here for a few days, or rather, I'm quite close with someone here in Konoha, so I'm staying here."
Konan immediately understood when she heard this. He was staying here temporarily. But when she thought about it, it made sense. If such a powerful person existed here, Konoha Village would have long become the strongest in the Shinobi world. Why would it slowly decline like now?
"Then what exactly are you?"
Konan was very curious about the identity of the other party. After all, he was so mysterious, capable of reviving people instantly. That was even more powerful than the Sage of Six Paths.
Since Konan had only heard legends, she could only compare and imagine it like this.
"I am someone from another world, you know. Do you think this software could create someone as powerful as me?"
Shiro, completely shameless, bragged, so anyone who didn't know him would think he only knew how to boast.
Konan's mouth opened when she heard this; those three words were quite unexpected and hard to believe, but she quickly calmed down. After all, such a divine artifact really did seem like it existed.
Shiro did not waste words. He gave her a part of memory, or rather, a part of knowledge. After she absorbed it, she understood.
"So you won't stay here for long, right?"
After Konan absorbed what Shiro gave her, she spoke this sentence, because it seemed unlikely that he would stay long given his situation.
"Indeed, under normal circumstances, I will leave in a few days, but that does not mean I cannot return."
"So, our transaction is permanent. At worst, I won't be here, and you can go wherever you want."
Konan understood.
"I understand the situation now."
"Since you understand and know that time is short, let's make use of the day."
Even though it was only noon, Shiro didn't care. He was free anyway.
When Konan heard this, and when Shiro's hand touched her face, her face couldn't help but blush and start to heat up.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate now? It's only noon after all."
"What's inappropriate? Noon is noon."
Shiro moved closer at that moment, and she instinctively stepped back, then stammered: "I… I want to take a bath first."
"No need, I prefer the original."
After Shiro said that, he directly froze the surrounding time again. It had to be said that the power of time was quite useful.
Although Konan did not know what Shiro was doing, her intuition told her that he was definitely doing something.
"I know you're wondering what I just did. I can only say that I froze time."
Konan was stunned when she heard this, then somewhat confused about why he would do such a thing.
"I know you don't understand why I'm doing this. The reason is actually very simple: because of you."
Konan pointed at herself when she heard this, somewhat confused, wondering what he was talking about.
"Have you heard a saying?"
Shiro moved closer to her at that moment and inhaled the scent of her neck, causing her to immediately feel ticklish, and her face became even redder from the heat.
"After all, our feelings are still shallow. Haven't you heard of it?"
"Great effort brings miracles. I can only change the approach, using the greatest strength, over the longest time, to directly reach your heart."
Konan, in this place where 'Icha Icha Paradise' was the most popular adult book, did not quite understand what he meant. But when Shiro saw the confused expression on her face, he used actions to explain what he meant.
....
After the time field was removed, she lay on Shiro's body, and at that moment, Shiro spoke this sentence. Although from the outside it looked like a moment, in reality, a long time had passed inside.
"Now you understand what 'great effort brings miracles' means, right?"
Konan at this moment was completely different from when time had stopped. The aura she emitted had changed. Hearing Shiro's words, she drew circles with her hand and spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
"Indeed, a miracle happened, but couldn't you have been a bit gentler?"
"There were so many times I thought I was going to die."
"Pervert!"
Konan, recalling his words that felt like they were from a long time ago, understood their meaning. She had to admit that he was right; at least, he had truly entered her heart. And she had a feeling that at least several months had passed.
"I'm asking you, how long were we in there?"
"Emmm. For the outside world, it was only a brief moment. For the inside, it was about half a year, I guess. You'll soon notice that your clothes no longer fit. That's all my doing."
Shiro openly took credit at this moment, but the response he got was a big eye roll.
"Do you still have the nerve to say that? For the outside world, I'm only staying here for a few days, and I ended up like this. People might even think I gave birth."
Konan never expected that she would develop again, and that it would be someone else's doing. But inside it was half a year, while outside only a moment had passed. That was hard to explain.
"What are you afraid of? At worst, just say you ate something that helped you grow, and come back after some time. Besides, honestly, staying here is better. Why go back?"
"Wouldn't it be better to let those two handle things themselves? You're not their nanny."
Konan fell silent when she heard this, then still said: "Sorry."
"Sorry, I know how you think, but I'm still a bit worried. After all, we grew up together, and I know their abilities. That's why I'm still worried. I'll go back and help after you leave."
.....0....
"Yahiko has been dead for quite some time, and you should be aware of Nagato's situation. Basically, I am responsible for everything. If I'm not there, things will definitely fall into chaos, let alone in a situation like this of great destruction."
Konan's tone was full of helplessness. After all, if she didn't return, things would really fall apart.
"Alright."
"Do as you wish. In any case, I said I won't stop you."
After Shiro finished, a bracelet condensed in his hand, and he put it on her.
"Wearing this thing can activate the power I placed in it at critical moments. Whether for self-defense or killing enemies, many people can use it."
Konan looked at the dark bracelet in front of her and thought it was beautiful. Then, after thinking for a moment, she seemed to remember something and spoke in a teasing tone.
"Shouldn't you normally give me a ring?"
Konan spoke half-jokingly, but even though it was half-joking, there was still a trace of expectation in her heart. After all, she was tied to this man for life; it was impossible to find another, so she longed for a ring.
"It's not time yet. These are all things I created through my own training, far inferior to some pure, natural ones."
"So, things like this should be made from appropriate materials."
Konan felt a bit disappointed when she heard this, although not too much. Mainly, his words were indirectly a promise that he would definitely give it to her in the future.
