Scourge of Naruto

Death is a very common phenomenon.

When an ordinary person dies, relatives and friends hold a funeral for him and come to pay his respects in silence.

When a slightly famous person dies, in addition to relatives and friends, there are also people who come here because of his fame.

When a hero dies, there will be a grand funeral. People are in awe of the hero's greatness and bid farewell to the hero sincerely in their hearts.

Ye Zi died, and Orochimaru built a tomb for him. No one knew about it but him.

He stood in front of the grave, placing a bouquet of flowers quietly in front of the tombstone.

The idea that life is so fragile came to his mind again.

The sky is like a blue gem, clear and blue, the white clouds are floating leisurely, and the sunshine is pleasant and warm.

Suddenly a gust of wind came from afar, blowing through the lonely and empty cemetery, blowing Orochimaru's dark clothes and long hair.

The wind is slightly cold, it is a distant wind, and it is also a rainy wind.

This kind of wind often comes first, followed closely by large clouds.

Orochimaru looked at the grave silently. He had experienced the separation of life and death of his close relatives, encountered the death of too many companions, and had seen many people mourning and crying for the separation of life and death, so he said to Ye Zi many times: Don't die.

But still dead.

"Where do you come from and where do you want to go?"

A whisper rang out in the lonely cemetery.

The wind suddenly became stronger.

In the blue sky in the distance, a black line slowly emerged. It was a cluster of dark clouds, floating over at a very fast speed. Soon, the warm sunshine was blocked by the dark clouds, and the world became dark at this moment. Come down.

Next to the tombstone, there was a bud that had just sprouted, but it was suppressed by the blowing wind. The previously cheerful chirping of insects and birds disappeared silently at this moment. Along with the sound of the wind came large leaves, blown by the wind, falling onto the neat and orderly graves.

Tick ​​tock!

A huge raindrop suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Ye Zi's tomb.

Orochimaru raised his head, his long hair fluttering in the wind. He looked at the dull and dark sky, with traces of sadness appearing in his eyes.

You said snakes are cold-blooded animals, how can they know sadness?

When parting, no matter how reluctant you are to leave, you can only greet us with silence. At this time, there is a rain.

The rain suddenly poured down, quickly drawing a curtain between the sky and the earth.

Orochimaru's figure was instantly shrouded in the heavy rain, but he remained motionless in the torrential rain. Looking from a distance, his figure gradually became blurred.

Above the ground, water vapor gradually rose, forming a layer of light mist, covering the flowers in front of the tombstone. Countless raindrops fell on the flowers, breaking them into pieces.

The figure shrouded by the rain turned and slowly left.

Konoha's little White Fang is dead.

The news spread suddenly.

Everyone in the village seemed to know the news.

What effect can the crowd's fame bring? So, what about notoriety?

When the news spread, the topic was discussed in the streets and alleys of the village.

"Is that man-eating monster dead?"

"Yeah, I heard that he failed in the mission and was killed by the Iwa ninja. It's really satisfying."

"It doesn't matter if he's dead, I feel uncomfortable when I think about him in the village. Thinking about cannibalism makes me feel cold."

"Yes, yes, several children have disappeared recently. I have always suspected that it was him. Now that he is dead, I can feel more at ease in the future."

"Haha, I didn't allow my children to go out alone, which made them very resentful. Now I'm fine, I can rest assured."

"Hey, did you know? That man-eating monster was brought back from outside by Lord Orochimaru. I heard he was an orphan from the war."

"So that's it. Why did you take her in in the first place?"

"Who knows."

Kushina was walking on the street, her eyes seemed to have lost focus. She just walked aimlessly on the street, listening to the words coming from the villagers.

He is not called a man-eating monster, he has a name, Ye Zi.

Ye Zi was performing a mission for the village and sacrificed for the village.

Why, you can attack him with words so wantonly, even if he is no longer here.

Why, you can put a stigma on him so naturally.

War survivors, do you understand the pain? Why use such a gloating tone.

That's enough...!

Kushina suddenly stopped and clenched her fists hard. Anger emerged from her heart and spread all over her body instantly.

The look of sadness and anger mixed together caused her face to lose its color and become slightly distorted. She was deeply hurt and extremely angry.

"Please...respect the deceased, okay?!"

Raging tears burst from her eyes. The girl with long crimson hair stood in the middle of the street, her angry gaze sweeping at every resident in sight.

The voices of discussion stopped at this moment, and people looked at her.

Uzumaki Kushina, the Jounin of Konoha, was the same generation as Minato Namikaze, and was also Tsunade-sama's disciple. She had treated many Konoha ninjas. Although her reputation in the village was not as loud as Minato's, it was not bad either.

How could she... say such things?

Were those tears shed for that man-eating monster?

The point of view agreed by everyone will not change because Kushina said those words, nor will it stop there. Kushina glanced at them with angry eyes, and the consequences could not be I agree with it, but feel deeply puzzled.

"He is not called a man-eating monster. He is Ye Zi. He died while performing a mission. He died for the village."

Tears, like a dam that has opened its gates, poured out and fell, soaking the ground around his feet.

"He is not a man-eating monster. He has saved everyone and is a hero. But why can you be so easy to belittle a person who should be respected?"

Emotions are like a taut rubber band. Ye Zi's death made the rubber band snap.

"So, please, please respect the dead people, okay?!"

Listening to the residents' comments about Ye Zi, which intensified the sadness in her heart, Kushina used an angry tone to refute these people's perceptions.

Then, like a helpless child, she slowly squatted down, buried her face deeply in her arms, and cried silently to vent the sadness that had nowhere to put.

People looked at the sad Kushina and cast indifferent eyes.

Because this sadness was directed at Ye Zi, who in their eyes was a man-eating monster.

At this moment, a man walked over. He had the trademark golden hair. Under the surprised gazes of many residents, he walked silently in front of Kushina.

Minato squatted down, his eyes level with Kushina's head buried deep in her arms. He just looked at her quietly, with pity in his eyes. He slowly stretched out his hand, paused, and hesitated for a moment. Then he took it back.

How much he wanted to hold Kushina in his arms at this moment, but he knew that Kushina would not accept his comfort.

He looked at Kushina who was so sad, and his heart clenched.

How can I defeat a dead person?
