It was already ten o'clock in the night when I got the book containing the knowledge of sealing.

In order to make Mochizuki Kageshi's learning easier, Namikaze Minato gave him an additional introductory scroll of the sealing technique, which made Mochizuki Kageshi very happy.

But while the smile was still on his face, Nara Kofuku came.

This special jonin, whom he had not seen for a long time, had a tired look on his face. Before he could ask the question while looking at the moonscape, the other party told him a heavy news.

"Shangqun...died in the line of duty."

While looking at the moonscape, the scroll in my hand fell to the ground with a crash.

"how come…"

The weather in Konoha in September is always very good, but today, there are dark clouds rolling in the sky and a cold wind blowing, as if it has suddenly entered late autumn.

In the cemetery of Konoha, the funeral began.

Since it was not a war period, the speech aspect was omitted.

Standing in front of the team while looking at the moonscape, on his right is the wilderness with an arm missing, and on his left is Nara Kofuku.

The funeral bell rang, and the father in the upper group walked to his son's tombstone alone with a cane. First he slowly squatted down, then placed the bouquet on it, and cried for a while on the tombstone before he finally walked with difficulty.

Get up.

After standing up, he bowed to everyone with apology, and then slowly left this sad place.

It's not that he doesn't want to stay with his son for a while longer, but he has to rush home to take care of his wife who fell ill due to excessive grief.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Nara Kofuku and the other two slowly walked to Shangqun's tombstone. Everyone knew that only a few pieces of clothing buried in front of Shangqun were buried there.

When Anbu performs tasks on the territory of another country, there are only two possibilities, that is, they come back alive, or they die on the territory of another country.

"Where... did he die in the line of duty?" Yuan Ye originally wanted to say "die", but he held back and used the word "died in the line of duty."

Nara Kofuku looked at the name on the tombstone and the logo of Konoha. After four or five minutes of silence, he answered Yuano's question.

"I heard from other people that it is in the Country of Grass."

The Country of Grass, the Country of Fire to the east, the Country of Earth to the west, the Country of Rain to the south, and the Country of Taki to the north.

In this small country surrounded by four countries, the leader of the domestic Kusakunin Village is an outstanding ninja. His excellent intuition allows the Kusakunin Village to detect the actions of powerful countries early and then quickly make countermeasures.

In short, just like the name of their Ninja Village, the entire Ninja Village is just a grass on the wall.

At the same time, because the country of Taki to the north has tailed beasts and has defected to Konoha, and the country of rain to the south has Sansho Hanzo, who is revered as a demigod by the great powers, the country of grass has become the most intense confrontation between Iwa ninja and Konoha.

The place has also become the cemetery of Iwa Ninja and Konoha Ninja.

"Can't you find the body?" Yuan Ye asked again, but as soon as the question came out of his mouth, he quickly shut his mouth and realized that it was a stupid question.

Nara Kofuku suddenly raised his hands, put his hands on Nara Kofuku and Yuan Ye's shoulders, and said softly: "Let's go."

He nodded while looking at the moonscape, took another deep look at the name engraved on the tombstone, and walked out.

After parting ways with the other two people, Mochizuki Jingshi, who was in a bad mood, wandered around and returned to the park where he and Itachi had talked, and sat in the same spot.

He lost another person he knew.

When he was feeling sad, a man sat next to Moon Viewing. When Watching the Moon View, he turned around and saw that it was Jiraiya.

This guy still has the same look that hasn't changed for thousands of years. Ever since he put on that forehead protector with the word "oil" written on it, he hasn't changed his look much.

"When we met for the first time while looking at the moonscape, I am Jiraiya."

Jiraiya did not look at the moonscape, but raised his head and looked at the sky.

While looking at the moonscape, he kept the same movements as Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya-sama, what do you want from me?"

"It seems you have already guessed it."

"Is it about Orochimaru?" he curled his lips and said while looking at the moonscape.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly. Only Orochimaru and Tsunade in the world could make this cheerful ninja show such an expression. He said bitterly: "Absolutely."

"Then just say it."

Seeing that Nara Kofuku was so cheerful, Jiraiya stopped dilly-dallying, and after suppressing his wry smile, he directly explained the purpose of his visit.

"As a disciple of Orochimaru, you should know some inside information about Orochimaru's experiments."

"Limited to those things that are legendary in the village. I haven't been with Orochimaru for a long time." Mochizuki Jingshi said very simply. As for the things in his mind, he couldn't say them directly.

"Then do you know why Orochimaru transferred you to him?" Jiraiya asked another question.

Faced with this problem, Mochizuki Jingshi said in a tone that he was not sure about: "Maybe it's because I glanced at the Fourth Hokage when he succeeded to the throne?"

In the end, he himself had no confidence.

The whistling wind around me became louder, as if I told a super cold joke while looking at the moon, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

But in fact, it was true. He just accidentally looked at Orochimaru for a few seconds, and he inexplicably became Orochimaru's disciple. After being a disciple for half a month, Orochimaru became a well-known S-class rebellious ninja in the ninja world.

, I didn’t know how many times I said “Mom sells batches” while looking at the moonscape.

When Jiraiya turned to look at the moonscape, he didn't dare to look directly at Jiraiya when he was looking at the moonscape. He only dared to look at it with his peripheral vision. Now Jiraiya's expression seemed to be saying: "Are you kidding me?

"

While looking at the moonscape, he quickly moved his gaze in other directions and muttered softly: "Actually, I don't know either."

"You don't know?!" Jiraiya raised his voice, not satisfied with the answer while looking at the moonscape.

Based on his understanding and investigation of Orochimaru, everything Orochimaru did before he prepared to leave Konoha had a strong purpose. Almost everything he did was to continue after leaving Konoha.

Conduct his human experiments.

The only thing that no one could understand was that Orochimaru used his influence to take Mochizuki Kagetoki as his disciple.

Although Mochizuki was standing behind the great nobleman of the Land of Fire, Kametsuki, his performance in the ninja school and after entering the battlefield could only be described as mediocre, not comparable to Orochimaru's former disciples Nosuki and Mitarashi Anko.

.

"I really don't know, why do you have to ask about this thing that I don't know the reason for?" he said while looking at the moon scene.

"Because if I know the reason, maybe I will be more confident in recovering Orochimaru." Jiraiya replied, "But now that I have the answer, I can only give up."

"Sorry, I can't help you."

"It doesn't matter." Jiraiya shook his head, "Since I can't get the answer, I'll look for clues elsewhere."

"I hope you can find it." Wangzuki Jingshi could only wish this Konoha Sannin running around.

"Thanks."

Jiraiya left a thank you and left, leaning on the bench while looking at the moonscape, looking up at the gray sky.
