In the Land of Rain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sky was getting darker, and the clouds began to churn above them, as if a storm was brewing.

Inside the Konoha stronghold.

There is a tent in the center, and ninjas who pass by will consciously slow down their pace for fear of startling the people inside.

A lamp and candle burned in the tent, which seemed to illuminate a glimmer of warmth in this gloomy and oppressive weather.

"Click!"

A sudden splash at the wick broke the silence in the tent.

Hearing this, Tsunade, who was leaning on the side of the tent, slowly turned his head, his eyes staring blankly at the lamp and candle, and his pretty face looked extremely haggard at this time.

I don't know how long she cried, but even now her eyes still look a little red and swollen.

At this moment, a somewhat pale hand gently ripped open the curtain of the tent and walked in.

Hearing the voice, Tsunade turned his head slightly, glanced at him with empty eyes, and said a little hoarse in his throat.

"It's you, Orochimaru. ”

Seeing her like this, Orochimaru's face was not surprised, as if he had expected this result for a long time.

"I already know the thing. ”

Standing stunned for a while, Orochimaru suddenly hissed slowly.

Hearing his words, Tsunade moved his body, slowly leaned forward and hugged his knees, and looked ahead with a blank look, as if talking to himself.

"You say... Rope tree he... Will it still be alive...."

"It's just.... It's just that.... Missing... Isn't it...."

She said in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

In this regard, Orochimaru did not comfort her with gentle words, but looked at her and said in a deep voice.

"Tsunade, don't fool yourself with this!"

"You should know that in that case, there is almost no chance that the rope tree will survive!"

Hearing Orochimaru's hoarse and angry voice, Tsunade's face was stunned, and he slowly turned his head to look at him, his eyes extremely dim.

"He... No... No.. Return.. Is it coming...... My younger brother .... He... No.. Will I be back!"

Speaking of this, she seemed to be unable to hide the depression in her heart, and suddenly covered her face again and sobbed sadly.

"It's all my fault!!"

"It's all my fault!!"

"Why should I let him do such a task!"

"If it weren't for me, he would still be able to appear in front of everyone alive now!"

She cried out in pain, and then leaned limply on the tent like a child who had lost her precious existence, choking sadly.

Orochimaru didn't continue to look at Tsunade's fragile posture, but instead looked at the candle that was about to burn out with a pair of snake eyes.

After a while, as if he had figured out something, he said in an extremely hoarse voice.

"It's not your fault... Tsunade...."

"It's just because life is so fragile.... This vulnerability... and the inability to grasp one's own destiny...."

Speaking of this, his pale face tightened slightly, as if he was embarrassed by this inability to control his own destiny.

"That's all for now, it's still war, rope... Rope Tree.. Although sacrificed, this is not an excuse for you to slack off for this, you, as a sister, should let his death reflect enough value. ”

After seeing Orochimaru's hissing voice, he slowly turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent.

After he left, as if he had lost his soul, Tsunade turned his head slightly, and his godless eyes looked at the gloomy sky outside.

"Sister, I'm going to be as great a ninja as my grandfather!"

"I want to protect this village!"

"If only I could be a hero who can protect everyone like my grandfather!"

The cold wind howled angrily outside the tent, but Tsunade inside the tent seemed to hear the childish sound of the rope tree in his ears.

Suddenly, she smiled.

I saw that Tsunade kept shedding tears in his eyes, but he was smiling on his face, as if he was gentle with the non-existent rope tree.

"The Rope Tree... My sister will help you fulfill your wishes...."

"This village.... My sister will protect ..... for you."

And outside the tent.

Orochimaru walked inside the stronghold, ignoring the gradually bad weather, but his heart was stirring.

"Smack!"

He stopped, looked up, looked at the gloomy sky with complicated eyes, and said in a hoarse voice.

"After all, human beings are too small compared to nature... This short life... What can you appreciate.."

"Only.... Forbidden Arts.... A forbidden art that can make life eternal...."

He muttered.

The figure slowly vanished.

................................

And at this time.

A canyon in the Land of Rain.

Boom –

Dark clouds were rolling up in the sky, and violent thunder was slowly sounding, and it seemed that it would not be long before a torrential rain was about to pour down.

Under this gloomy dark cloud, two figures walked on the edge of the canyon.

The huge canyon is flat above, but the knife-like overhanging walls lead vertically into the bottomless underground, like a ravine of an abyss.

Whew-

A cold wind blew by, causing the short figures in the two of them to shiver involuntarily.

Originally, walking here was enough to tremble and palpitate, and with such a big and cold cold wind, the legs of the rope tree became weak every time he stepped out.

"Both... Brother Everybody, I.. Where are we going..."

Rope Tree's little face was a little white from the cold, and after a sigh of relief, he asked the tall figure in front of him in a trembling voice.

Hearing his words, everyone didn't turn their heads, and said in a flat voice.

"Rain Ninja Village ....."

As soon as he heard his answer, Rope Tree's eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly said.

"Rain.. Isn't this a self-defeating trap!?"

In this regard, everyone said in a flat voice.

"Don't you know that the war between Rain Ninja Village and Konoha has been reconciled at this time, and the two are now at peace for the time being, and the war may be declared over after a while. ”

Hearing what everyone said, the rope tree was naturally shocked and exclaimed.

"And... Reconciliation!? Why.. Possible.... Ming Mingyu killed so many ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by everyone.

"Nothing is set in stone, especially when it comes to interests.....

Speaking of this, he glanced at the rope tree and said softly.

"Captain Aizen chose to let you come to this village, not only to let you concentrate on cultivation, but also to allow you to expand your horizons. ”

"Your pattern is so small, it seems that everything revolves around Konoha, so you can't understand where Captain Aizen's vision is. ”

Hearing his words, Rope Tree was slightly stunned, and said with a confused expression.

"Grid. Shouldn't we think about everything for Konoha's sake......"

They glanced at him and said in a low voice.

"What do you see from this war .... Did you just see the casualties of the Konoha ninjas..."

"Perhaps...."

"Maybe that's why Captain Aizen told me to bring you here..."

"When you see the scene of this country, perhaps, you will understand the good intentions of Captain Aizen. ”

After he finished speaking, he slowly turned around and continued on his way.

And Rope Tree looked at him blankly, remembering what Yu Yousuke said to him before parting.

"Rope tree, go and observe everything you see. ”

"Remember, determining how much a ninja can achieve is the amount of equipment he can have....."

Pattern..... Is there still a lot of energy.....

Rope tree gently spread his palm, looked at it carefully, and said secretly in his heart.

I saw him clench his palms hard, and the small figure followed everyone up.

Under the gloomy sky, two small figures slowly disappeared at the edge of the canyon.
