The will of fire can't save the ninja world

It always rains in the land of rain.

A cold morgue.

Jiraiya slowly opened the white cloth and his hands trembled suddenly.

He turned his head away, put down the white cloth, and clenched his fists.

He was about to speak.

Orochimaru's calm voice came from the door: "I only found these."

Jiraiya couldn't help it anymore and punched the wall hard.

He closed his eyes, and in his mind, from the fragments of flesh and blood under the white cloth, he could not piece together the appearance of the confident and optimistic young man in his memory.

After a long time, Jiraiya said in a hoarse voice: "When did you notify Tsunade?"

After saying that, he felt it was meaningless and said irritably: "Let's bury it first."

He couldn't imagine what Tsunade would do if she saw the scene he just saw.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to bury it first.

At least the rope tree in Tsunade's memory was still intact.

The people from the logistics department came in and took the cart out.

Jiraiya watched the cart go away, and at this moment, there was movement outside.

Under the night rain, Tsunade was shrouded in the wind and stumbled in, just in time to see the cart that had not disappeared.

She realized something and went to chase it.

But her face was pale and she was about to fall when she staggered.

Jiraiya subconsciously wanted to help him, but saw a hand grabbing Tsunade's arm first.

Uchiha Yuye, returning together.

Jiraiya withdrew his hand and shook his head slightly when he saw Tsunade struggling forward and blocking the road.

Tsunade looked at the cart that disappeared in the distance, and the outline under the white cloth. As a medical ninja, she could imagine what it would look like under the white cloth even if she didn't look at it.

She collapsed on the ground, covering her face and crying...

The last of her relatives left, and she was all alone.

"After all, we are at war now."

Orochimaru leaned against the wall, not sure whether he was explaining or comforting.

He took out a necklace from his arms, stood up and put it in Tsunade's hand before leaving.

Tsunade clutched the necklace, which was given to her by her grandfather.

When Naoki vowed to become a Hokage like her grandfather, she gave it to her younger brother.

What Roeshu is most proud of and treasures is this necklace given to her by her sister.

If she only saw white cloth, Tsunade would still have a little bit of luck.

But when she saw the necklace that never left her body, she couldn't even do the final self-deception. She broke down and cried to vent her grief.

Jiraiya sighed and didn't bother him.

When passing by Uchiha Yuye, she patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Take good care of her, she... is actually very fragile."

Yuya watched Jiraiya leave, and also watched Orochimaru who had forgotten to take shelter from the rain further away.

He turned around, looked at Tsunade's trembling shoulders, and sighed.

Tsunade and Qi Yue are the same type of people. They usually have a heroic style and are carefree and informal. However, the stronger the mask, the more fragile the heart is protected.

On the contrary, people like Hinata Mio are usually afraid of speaking loudly, but when faced with difficulties, she becomes stronger.

Yu Ye didn't do anything, just stayed with her quietly.

Listen to her cry and let her vent.

The pain of losing a loved one cannot be alleviated even half by a word of condolences, a word of "look away", a word of "I understand".

I can only accompany her, wait silently for her to lick her wounds, silently support her, and prevent her from collapsing.

Yu Ye waited until Tsunade went from crying to too quiet, staring blankly at the necklace in her hand, then he helped Tsunade leave.

Returning to Tsunade's former room, he made the bed, prepared hot water and food that were not needed, and put them on the table.

Tsunade lay undressed on the bed throughout the whole process, staring at the ceiling blankly.

It wasn't until Yu Ye came to say goodbye that she came back to her senses.

Grab his hand.

Yu Ye didn't ask, didn't struggle, and didn't let go.

Just sit on the edge of the bed.

Tsunade's hand grasped hard, as if she was afraid that he would leave.

Yu Ye knew that he couldn't leave at this time, so he simply turned off the light.

For a long time, Tsunade held his hand sideways and put it in front of her face.

After a long while, the suppressed crying sounded again.

Tears kept falling down the back of Yu Ye's hand...

…

The autumn night rain is very cool.

After Tsunade fell asleep, Yuye came out to take a breath.

Repressed emotions are always very penetrating.

Especially Yu Ye, who has experienced the same experience, her emotions will inevitably resonate.

After the fresh air gave him some relief, he moved into the rain and stepped into the rain.

Walking to the deserted courtyard that I had seen before, sure enough, I saw that figure.

A fragile person, more than just Tsunade?

Perhaps even Jiraiya didn't know that another of his companions had not returned home all night.

Orochimaru looked at the white flowers in front of him in confusion, swaying in the rain.

He guessed who the visitor was and did not turn around.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "Asleep?"

Yu Ye's eyes also fell on Wuminghua, "Yeah."

After contacting him in the past two years, he gradually became familiar with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's usual style allows Yuya to recall more scenes, at least putting aside the prejudices of the middle period of the original work.

The future Orochimaru is cold and cunning, but that doesn't stop him from becoming a Sannin now. He is a cold-looking person who is cruel to his enemies, but cold-hearted towards his companions.

Being feminine at heart is probably an awkward description.

Yu Ye said bluntly: "I didn't expect to see such a fragile side of you."

Orochimaru looked at the flowers in front of him, which were finally washed away by the rain and scattered in the mud.

He shook his head slightly: "No, it's not me who is vulnerable, it's the human being."

Ninjas also belong to the human category, but are stronger.

But ninjas are equally fragile.

When you are prepared, you can even resist Ninjutsu and not die.

But when unprepared, a kunai and a detonating talisman can be fatal. The most common cause of death for ninjas on the battlefield is not from cool ninjutsu, but from kunai and detonating talismans.

The death of Naoki seems to have once again awakened Orochimaru's dusty memories, causing his mentality to begin to change.

Orochimaru looked away from the flower remains, turned his head and asked: "At what stage has your ninjutsu developed?"

Yu Ye replied: "The second stage is far from the new escape technique."

Wind, thunder, water, fire and earth, he has completed the transformation of form and preliminary properties in more than a year.

But the third stage, which involves reshaping the chakra structure and completely changing its nature to the point of reaching the limit of blood inheritance, is more complicated than imagined.

Orochimaru sighed: "Perfect ninjutsu control, perfect chakra control, I heard that your medical ninjutsu is not far from Tsunade's level?"

He looked into Yu Ye's eyes and said, "Do you remember the cooperation? Live well, I need your ability."

Life is short, so why live happily?

Parents are like this, and rope trees are like this.

It seems that fragile human beings have their limits after all.

Orochimaru's desire to go further became more and more intense.

And if he had Yu Ye's hands, eyes, and his understanding, he could be one step faster and further away from what he wanted in his heart.

Yu Ye did not show any yearning, but asked: "What does Orochimaru-sama think I need?"

Orochimaru was startled for a moment, then regretted: "If I had known the year you graduated, I wouldn't have accepted you at all."

Yes, he needs the ability to control the night.

But does Yuye need him?

In the past, this was an issue that did not need to be considered.

But now that Yu Ye has become more mature, he is fully qualified to demand equal cooperation, which in turn will test his ability as a collaborator.

Orochimaru asked: "Then what do you need me to prove?"

In terms of theoretical research alone, he and Yu Ye have different research directions. In terms of ninjutsu, Orochimaru is not as good as Yu Ye now. But in terms of secret techniques, forbidden techniques, etc., he is still unable to catch up with Yu Ye for a long time.

Yu Ye's eyes burned brightly: "Help me research a person first."

…

When it was almost dawn, I returned to Tsunade's room.

He wasn't sure whether Tsunade was awake or not, so he stepped very lightly.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the water and food on the table were empty.

At this time, Tsunade came out of the bathroom.

Her face still looked bad and she couldn't hide her haggard look.

But she changed into plain clothes and tried to stay calm.

Yu Ye put down the breakfast he had brought along and asked, "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Tsunade looked at him, inexplicably in a trance. She came to her senses and her voice was slightly hoarse: "The front line is tense. I have been willful all night. It's time to set off."

Yu Ye thought for a while and said, "I'll give it to you."

Orochimaru's most important task here has been completed.

The fighting on the front line is fierce now, and even if Tsunade doesn't say anything, Orochimaru will send some people over to help.

In this case, it is better to go alone.

Moreover, Tsunade came back in a hurry, and although the people she brought with her were close, they lacked strength.

Yu Ye was not at ease if Tsunade was allowed to leave in this state.

Tsunade heard this and did not refuse.

Yu Ye is now a qualified Jonin, and no longer in the past, ordinary decisions will basically be adopted first.

After the two of them had packed up, Kurama Qiyue, who was rushing back from behind, rested for a while and was about to continue setting off.

The transparent man followed Hizashi back at a glance, silently following the team's preparations as before.

But when he was leaving, Yu Ye seemed to see him and stop him.

"You stay this time."

He glanced at Orochimaru who was seeing him off in the distance, withdrew his gaze and patted Hizashi on the shoulder affectionately, "Remember to cooperate with Orochimaru-sama in his work."

Hizashi touched his head:???

It's understandable that he stays, but... what does it have to do with Lord Orochimaru?
