Loud explosions, loud in the ears!

Everything around him seemed to slow down, and when Orochimaru looked down at the eviscerated corpse of the rope tree, it felt as if everything was as unreal as being covered in a curtain of water.

"Tsunade, he gave me the rope tree. ”

"Rope Tree??????? He is my disciple. ”

What the hell is this???? What the hell is going on! Orochimaru's eyes widened and his face turned pale. It was a minute before he seemed to wake up from the shock of what was happening in front of him.

"Mission canceled, let's send the rope tree back to camp. ”

"Yes!!" the ninjas whispered. For the first time, they heard Orochimaru's voice so powerless.

Orochimaru untied his kimono and carefully wrapped the body of the rope tree. The plain white kimono was immediately stained red with black and red blood, and Orochimaru picked up the rope tree, jumped onto the treetops, and rushed towards the camp with a team of ninjas.

Senju and Uchiha???? Two families that have been entangled for thousands of years. After founding Konoha together, they all fell strangely.

Under the leadership of the generation Hokage, Senju Mazumi, the Senju clan is the family that is most willing to sacrifice for Konoha. In fact, when various ninja clans and wandering ninjas founded Konoha Village under the leadership of Senju and Uchiha. The ninjas of the ninja clan still have the concerns of Senju and Uchiha to weaken the other clans.

So at the beginning of the establishment of Ninja Village, the only families who really fought to the death for Ninja Village were Senju and Uchiha.

Relative to the Uchiha brothers' constant protection of their own people, the Senju clan who fought for the ideal of the first Hokage and the ideals of the first Hokage inevitably ushered in the problem of population decline.

Of course, the effort will also pay off, and after the establishment of the Ninja Village, the Thousand Hands Clan has gained a reputation and support that the Uchiha cannot match.

The nightmare of the Thousand Hands began after the death of the Thousand Hands Residence.

After dying of exhaustion in the decisive battle with Madara Uchiha between the Thousand Hands Pillar. The Ninja Village, which had been eager to know the source of the terrifying power of the Thousand Hands Residence as a ghost, began to target the Thousand Hands clan.

Attempt to master the power of terror between the Thousand Hands through the study of the bloodline of the Thousand Hands Clan.

First Shinobi War???? Second Shinobi World War???? After two huge wars, the Thousand Hands clan, who were not afraid to sacrifice for the sake of Ninja Village, finally fell into the predicament of being sparsely populated and on the verge of extinction.

Finally, the Thousand Hands Clan finally had no choice but to give the order for the One Clan to retreat, leaving only the descendants of the Hokage Thousand Hands Pillars, Tsunade and Rope Tree proved the existence of the once first clan of Konoha.

Now, the future patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan, the Thousand Hands Rope Tree, is lying in Orochimaru's arms, his body cold and silent.

In the Konoha camp, Tsunade had a cold war for no reason. She looked up at the sky, and the cold rain fell again at some point.

Tsunade frowned, and for some reason a feeling of distraction arose. She stared at the medical ninja system proposal she had written for a moment, then crumpled it up in irritation and threw it in the trash.

Spreading out a new piece of white paper, Tsunade was about to pick up a pen to rewrite it, when a young female shinobi ran up to Tsunade in a panic.

Ticking, a drop of ink dripping from fright, vividly imprinted on the pale paper.

"Tsunade????? Tsunade-sama!"

"What's the matter, you can say it slowly. ”

"Rope tree he?????? sacrificed. ”

Whew~ A cold wind suddenly rose, carrying cold rain, and surrounded Tsunade. It's cold and biting!

Orochimaru stood in front of the morgue, icy rain dripping from the tips of his wet black hair. How should he explain it to Tsunade, who swore that he would protect the rope tree.

The rustle of rain falling on the leaves of the trees made Orochimaru's consciousness dazed like a lullaby.

Finally???? Orochimaru waited for Tsunade, who came in a hurry, and Jiraiya, who came with Tsunade.

Orochimaru saw that Tsunade's right fist was clenched tightly and was about to step forward to punch Orochimaru, but was stopped by Jiraiya holding down his shoulder.

"It's wartime, after all. ”

Suppressing the pain in his heart, Orochimaru said and took out the crystal pendant in his arms. The pendant was taken away by Tsunade in an instant, and Orochimaru's cheek ached, and there was a bright red slap print on it.

"Orochimaru, you????? Don't beat yourself up too much. ”

Staying by Orochimaru's side, Jiraiya left the space for grief to Tsunade. Orochimaru didn't answer Jiraiya's words, he looked up at the shaking treetops in front of him, not knowing what to think.

Soon the morgue was filled with Tsunade's cries, a wail of pain as if his heart had been torn off.

Orochimaru had never heard Tsunade cry so sadly. No, I've never heard Tsunade cry. The strong female ninja who was in the same class as him would bite her lip even if she cried and didn't let herself make a sound. What's more, most of the time there is always a hearty smile on his face.

'It's because I can't do anything about making her cry in such pain.'

This is the thought that suddenly flashed through my mind.

'If not for me taking it lightly'

A long time has passed, and Tsunade's crying still hasn't stopped. Jiraiya stayed silent by Orochimaru's side for a while, and then walked to Tsunade's side to comfort him.

"Humans are such fragile things. ”

As if he had figured out something, Orochimaru came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"If you master the rumored technique??????

"Tsunade??? I might be able to regenerate the rope tree. To make up for the mistakes I made. ”

Because of a person's death, the three ninjas, who were immersed in grief, began to go to different forks in the road as if they had been pushed by fate.
