Konoha’s 50 Years

When Uchiha Chen found Orochimaru, he was resealing the unconscious Kazekage in the iron cage.

It's like dealing with a beast.

Seeing the once incomparably powerful three generations of Kazekage end up like this, it made Chen Uchiha sigh.

In this ninja world, who is not working hard to live? Small people have their ways of living, and big men have their ways, but in the face of war and death, no one is special.

Even the Six Paths Immortals are no exception.

Compared with the life and death of others, he cares more about the people he cherishes. Only on this basis, if he has the ability, will he consider others.

But this order must not be reversed. Although Uchiha Chen is not an exquisite egoist, he is by no means a virgin. If he were to sacrifice his entire family like Minato, he would never be able to do it. Of course, He also wouldn't allow something like the Nine-Tails Incident to happen.

"What's the matter, what happened to your clan?" Orochimaru, who was sitting on the ground and redrawing the sealing technique, raised his head and asked.

After getting along for several years, he was well aware of some of his disciple's emotional changes.

"No...just seeing the three generations of Kazekage like this... a little emotional."

Orochimaru nodded and said, "It's normal, you are still young, and there will be no fluctuations when you reach my age."

"why?"

"Numb..."

Uchiha Chen was taken aback for a moment, but he could only be silent.

"Do you feel this state is terrible?" Orochimaru chuckled lightly.

"I graduated from ninja school at the age of six... Anyone who kills someone for sixteen years will be numb."

Uchiha subconsciously looked at his pale hand, but could only be silent again.

After a while, he still managed to ask: "Why did you graduate so early? I remember when the ninja school introduced the history and said that they graduated at the age of eight?"

"I'm still graduating at the age of ten. Go and see how many ten-year-old Shimonin who went to the battlefield this year?"

Uchiha Chen nodded,

He forgot about the first ninja war.

Orochimaru, who was still drawing the seal, also stopped his work and sat on the ground casually.

"At that time, the war had been fought for several years, and Konoha was seriously lacking in ninjas, and the severity was much worse than this war."

As a witness to the history of that year, he showed a look of reminiscence.

"At that time, Konoha had internal and external troubles. After the death of the first Hokage, the four major countries began to provoke wars. Even so, that's all. I didn't expect the second Hokage to be ambushed and sacrificed a few years later.

It was because of this that Konoha almost fell apart! "

"As the designated successor, the three generations of Hokage are too young to hold back the major families, especially your Uchiha family."

Orochimaru glanced at Uchiha Chen and continued: "The history book of the ninja school has done a lot of editing and beautification of this history, and what you are learning now is the castrated version.

For example, the third Hokage did not inherit the position of Hokage from the beginning, but a few years after the death of the second Hokage! "

He stood up and looked at the sun in the sky, and said, "The death of the second Hokage and the turmoil of Konoha had a great impact on me when I was young."

"It wasn't until then that I understood: It turns out that people who are stronger than the second Hokage will also be killed; it turns out that Konoha, the leader of the five kingdoms, is also in danger of being destroyed at any time."

"At the time, I was thinking about two questions: why do people fight; and why do people die."

"It wasn't until many years later, after experiencing a lot of things, that I gradually understood... that the struggle stems from desire.

And people die because..."

Orochimaru stood with his hands tied and looked up at the sky, only the stratus clouds in the sky, and the sun, moon and stars.

"The life of the body is too short and too impermanent..."

......

When Orochimaru repainted the seal for the three generations of Kazekage, the two got up and started walking towards the main force. After passing a rest area, they also met Sakumo. After saying hello, they continued to walk forward. .

"Sakumo is really a pure ninja."

Orochimaru said such a sentence like a feeling.

He didn't tell Sakumo about this plan at all, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Uchiha Tsao to tell Sakumo not to do it in advance.

From the beginning of exchanging information with the three generations of Hokage, and then to the release of Kazekage, Orochimaru's heart is always on a scale, and he knows better than anyone what he can do and what he should do.

Knowing the dark side of Konoha, there is also light in my heart... At least that's how it is now.

This is also the reason why the third Hokage wants to let Orochimaru succeed the fourth Hokage. In this respect alone, Orochimaru is much higher than Jiraiya and Sakumo.

But who can guarantee that Orochimaru, who has seen too much darkness, will not devote himself to the darkness? The more intelligent people are, the more paranoid they are, because they are also very self-conscious people.

Just when Uchiha Chen was thinking wildly, Orochimaru who was walking in front suddenly asked, "That friend of yours... is called Minato Namikaze, that stupid apprentice of Jiraiya..."

Uchiha Chen was a little powerless to complain. Although Jirai is stupid, Minato is not stupid. Don't think that the teacher is stupid and the apprentice is stupid. Your impression is not good.

"I remember that he also studied sealing, right? There are still some things on the cage that have not been drawn. I can let him take a look next time." After a pause, Orochimaru continued.

——It can be considered as compensation for Jiraiya.

There was such a sentence in his heart, but he didn't say it.

"That's fine, next time I'll ask him to come along." Uchiha Chen laughed twice.

"What are you laughing at?" Rarely, Orochimaru asked over this meaningless laughter.

"It's nothing, I just think Mr. Orochimaru is really a good person."

"This is the first time I've heard of this view." Orochimaru shook his head.

Uchiha Chen smiled without saying a word.

........

After passing an intersection, the two began to separate and walked towards their respective rest areas.

"Okay, Minato." Uchiha Chen heard Jiraiya's laughter from a distance.

"You should be happy, I succeeded, this time I will definitely win Tsunade!"

Uchiha Chen was taken aback for a moment, as if he had heard some great news.

Hearing the footsteps, Minato, Jiraiya, Mikoto, and Himeji all turned their heads.

As if seeing a great benefactor, Zilai rushed over happily: "Hey, be careful, I'll support you, don't let it fall."

Jiraiya grabbed Chen Uchiha's shoulder and slowly helped him over.

"..."

"I'm not injured, right?" Uchiha Chen was a little unsure.

"No, no, whoever wants to hurt you now has to step over me." Zilai also said righteously.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you, I'm not at ease if you don't tell me."

Jirai was also a little excited: "Didn't you teach me the method? I just took a cup to find Tsunade, and then slammed into her face."

"She agreed?"

"That's not it."

"Then what are you proud of?"

"She invited me to travel with her."

"You know, hmm."

Jirai also showed a wretched smile of an adult uncle.

"Then did she say where to travel?"

"I propose to go to the land of soup." Jiraiya rubbed his chin.

He wanted to take Tsunade to the hot springs and enjoy the uproar by the way? But he didn't expect Tsunade to disagree.

"She has to go to a place called Short Book Street first, which is said to be fun."

"I haven't been there either, so I don't have an impression."

"It's okay, you will be impressed in the future." Uchiha Chen also observed a second of silence for Jiraiya.

"That's for sure." Jiraiya began to fantasize again.

"By the way, do you have anything else to teach me about girls?"

This is also the purpose of Jiraiya's visit today, and he will confirm his relationship with Tsunade when he prepares for this trip.

"I can only tell you to bring enough money, it's better to take out all the money you have saved all these years."

"These are all trivial matters, and Tsunade can't finish it anyway." Jiraiya said confidently.

Uchiha Chen was speechless, the Qianshou family didn't have enough money for Tsunade to spend, and your little money...you'll make a sound at the most.

He suddenly understood why Zilai was going to write a small yellow book, and the feeling was that he owed a huge gambling debt this time.

"Then when are you going to leave?"

Zilai also shook his head: "It's not determined yet, but it will take some time, and we'll talk about the trivial matters."

It may take many years to be away from the village this time. As long as he stays in the village, he will always see darkness, and he can't stand the light in his heart.

Moreover, Jiraiya found that he still prefers the life outside, compared to the constrained life and endless struggles in the village.

"As for Orochimaru... don't worry, I have Tsunade anyway, let him solve his physiological problems by himself, hahahaha"

Soon his laughter was drowned out by the chirping of cicadas. In the woods in the distance, there was the dazzling cry of birds preparing for the night. The sun had not yet completely set in the west. Ye Dajun's return journey was dyed a complex purple.
