Chapter 224: The Old Man and the Tombstone
It is difficult to accept the reality that Yahiko is dead, let alone the cruel meaning behind Yahiko's death. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Do you know how much Yahiko believes in you, he strives to follow your philosophy and find a way to save the world, and thus created the Akatsuki organization, with non-violence as the core concept, hoping that everyone can understand each other, if it can be realized, isn't it the wonderful world that Jiraiya has been striving for?
This road is full of thorns, but Yahiko has never flinched, overcoming all the obstacles along the way, overcoming many difficulties and moving forward, and then somehow, he has become the person you Konoha must kill, which is ridiculous!
One Konoha man found a way for Yahiko to pursue his ideals, but another Konoha man directly ended him on this path, so it's really in the hands of you Konoha that fate is in the hands of you, Konoha!"
Jiraiya's heart ached, as if his heart was being clenched, and he immediately asked with concern.
"What happened to Konan and Nagato?"
"Don't worry, you Konoha don't have the ability to kill them together!"
Jiraiya also breathed a sigh of relief, but the heartache did not diminish at all, and he couldn't help but comfort Sakaki when he saw Sakaki who seemed to be controlled by his angry killing intent.
"Sakaki, I'm sorry about Yahiko, but you can't be dominated by hatred, maybe all this ......"
Syllable~
Jiraiya's words were interrupted, not by mouth language, but by body language.
I saw Sakaki flying forward, and a fierce punch was imprinted on Jiraiya's face, directly hitting it into a dent, and the body flew upside down more than ten meters away, and after landing, several bloody broken teeth suddenly coughed up in his mouth, which shows the ferocity of this punch!
"Do you want to persuade me to be tolerant like before? This punch is to tell you that you stand in Konoha's position and ask me to be tolerant, and you are so unashamed, are you opening your eyes for the perpetrator? If not, then please stand in Yahiko's position and avenge your disciple!"
Jiraiya was silent, and Sakaki understood his attitude, and he smiled, laughing very violently.
"I see! Jiraiya, the right path you are talking about, is just such a desperate road, a desperate road into the abyss! But Jiraiya yourself is still alive, why didn't Tuan Zang kill you, the culprit?
I know, this is because you never do it yourself, but rely on the way to find the so-called child of destiny, encourage others to do it for you, whether you are dead or injured, the one who can survive and reach the other side is the so-called child of destiny, and you can also reach the other side with it, enjoy the glory, worthy of the old rivers and lakes, and your abacus is really authentic enough!"
Sakaki bothered with the anger in his heart, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and he stood up tremblingly, most of his spirit was gone, and he looked pained.
"It's really boring, now you and I only need a few punches, and we can easily get rid of you! Where did you run away with the will to definitely catch or kill me just now? Hmph!"
Sakaki snorted coldly, turned around, and gestured away.
"Well, forget it, there's no point in fighting you like this, even if I kill you on the spot, you probably think that I deliberately used those words to hit you to win......"
After walking for dozens of meters, there was no movement behind him, and Sakaki suddenly turned around and said with an inexplicable meaning.
"Jiraiya, kindly remind you, don't appear in front of Nagato! Nagato once believed in you, and now he may want to kill you!"
Even if it is a few dozen meters away, you can feel the complete indifference of Sakaki, and Jiraiya's heart hurts even more.
Jiraiya just watched Sakaki leave, and when he came, he definitely wanted to catch Sakaki and his mind came to naught, even if he couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen if he let such Sakaki leave, and how bad would it be for Konoha?
However, Jiraiya really can't muster the strength to stop Sakaki.
For a long time, it rained in the sky.
Jiraiya was 'enjoying' the feeling of being a soup chicken, and it took him a while before he moved, and the direction of movement was not Konoha, he just walked step by step, as if carrying a mountain of heavy pain, and walked towards the country of rain with difficulty.
Since the battle caused by the group, the Akatsuki organization has become famous throughout the Rain Country, and gradually more and more people know about the Akatsuki organization, and some people even know where the Akatsuki organization is located, and some people can talk about the concept of the Akatsuki organization.
But the ridiculous and sad thing is that this concept that has been widely propagated and talked about by people can no longer be adhered to by Xiao Organization itself!
Based on this, Jiraiya came to the Land of Rain, and it was not difficult to find out where the Akatsuki organization was located.
Jiraiya traveled all the way to his destination, and then he saw the somewhat familiar environment in front of him, and his heart hurt even more.
The place where Xiao organized the organization was the same place where he and the four disciples first met, and even after so many years, he could still remember all the pictures frame by frame at that time.
Yahiko's strength, Konan's smile when he gave back flowers, Nagato shrunk like a small beast, and Sakaki......
Yahiko and the others were able to put the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization here, so you can imagine how ...... they were to him
Jiraiya forcibly suppressed his tears, but he couldn't deceive his heart, and the pain became more and more intense.
The Xiao organization's residence is now abandoned, and there are no people around, and Zilai has walked all the way into the cave, and only from the traces left in it can you imagine how prosperous this place was at that time.
Wandering around the cave unconsciously, silently looking at the traces of the members of the Xiao organization becoming hot pots, as if looking for something, and it seems that he is just caught up in the memories of seeing things and thinking about people.
Oh, Jilai also unconsciously walked to the entrance of another cave in the station, the cave is very small, you need to bend down to get out, about five meters above the ground, the former Xiao members generally do not go out from here.
After that, there was a silent back mountain, and among the trees, there was a dense density of stone monuments.
Jiraiya stared, jumped down from the mouth of the cave, entered the dense forest of the back mountain, and walked all the way, and soon came to a hill with little undulation, he saw.
The stele is not an ordinary stele, but a tombstone, which stands on a hill and is surrounded by flowers and plants, but it is not cluttered, as if someone has often trimmed it.
Jiraiya's gaze swept over the tombstones with unfamiliar names engraved on them, and finally landed on one of the tombstones at the top of the hill, which was slightly larger than the others, like stars and moons.
- Yahiko's Tomb
Zilai also saw the words on the tombstone, and his whole body trembled, and his mind was blank, so that he didn't even notice an ordinary old man walking up to him.
"This is the cemetery, what are you doing here?"
Zilai also heard the old man's voice, and only then did he wake up from the pain, and his eyes fell on the old man.
I saw that the old man looked thin and old, and the hardships of life also bent his back, and the wrinkles on his face were as many as the hardships he had suffered in his life!
"My name is Jiraiya, and my disciple is among them, and I... I want to come and mourn him!
"I can't even remember my name, as for what I do, that is, I am here to die, and before I die, I will look at the tombstones for these people who died first!
The people buried here, from refugees like me, to those children with dreams, and even the children who supported Xiao and us!"
I also know that the child that the old man said refers to Yahiko, and the old man seems to have not met someone to talk to for a long time, and the chatter continues.
"This kid shouldn't be dead! I watched more and more tombstones here, and everyone died, and eventually this kid came here, and he worked so hard, he shouldn't have been here, and if it weren't for him, there should have been more tombstones here... No, I think people like us don't even have a tombstone in this world, even if they die......"
Jiraiya listened silently, listened, and the old man's babbling words had already made him sketch a complete image of Yahiko in his heart.
He was also extremely proud to have such a disciple, but such a disciple could not live.
"Old man, do you know how Yahiko died?"
The old man shook his head slowly.
"I don't know, but I heard that the people of Konoha colluded with the people of Yuyin, thinking that the Akatsuki organization should not exist in the world, and then everything happened, several children did not come back, and Yahiko, the child, died soon after he returned!
I, ah, I don't know what the reason for Akatsuki and this kid is to die, all I know is Konoha who wants them to die, it's close to me, but I want to escape from it far away. And Yuyin, I wish it could be close to me, but it has always been so far away......!
The old man really didn't know, because he hadn't personally experienced the battle, but his words said it all, even if the eyes on his head didn't really see, but the eyes of the heart did.
Jiraiya's heart was trembling, as if he had also seen the tragedy of all that with his heart.
"And what about the rest, those who survived?"
"Those people, after the death of this young man, there was a big fight between two young people, but the one who should have left left, and the one who should have left left......"
Somehow, the vague images of these two young men materialized in his mind as Nagato and Sakaki......
"Old man, it's inconvenient to live in this wilderness, maybe I can ......"
Jiraiya may have wanted to atone for his sins, or maybe he just wanted to prove that Konoha ninjas aren't all that bad, but his words were interrupted by the old man shaking his head.
"It's good to live here, the old man has been wandering all his life, and I feel that this place is the most reassuring for me, and it is even more reassuring to stay by their side alive, and to die next to their tombstone when I die!
It's rare for someone to listen to me talk so much, I'm tired too, it's time to go back and rest... By the way, tell me the name of your disciple, and I can take care of him for you from time to time!"
Jiraiya's Adam's apple squirmed, and his name came to his lips, but he couldn't open his mouth, how could he tell the old man that Yahiko, who was killed by a Konoha ninja, and his teacher was actually a Konoha ninja.
The old man looked at him deeply, and suddenly felt that the old man's eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life seemed to have seen through everything.
"Old man, I'm sorry, I'm here to apologize to you!"
Jiraiya's apology was not accepted, or rather, the apology meant nothing to the old man.
"You don't have to apologize to me, if you want to apologize, apologize to those young people who have dreams! For the old man, what you Konoha or anything else do is very ordinary, this world is like this, you have not done anything beyond the world, since this is the case, there is nothing to apologize for.
On the contrary, these young people who know it, they insist on doing the opposite of the world, an old man like me, who can't understand this, and it's useless, I really don't know why they took me in, and I really don't know how I survived, instead... Alas......"
The old man let out a long sigh, and the figure that left became more and more slender, and behind him, there was a deep hanging head.
Suddenly, Jiraiya, who lowered his head, saw the green Konoha uniform on his body, and a hot body, an extremely hot feeling came from the uniform.
All along, this uniform representing Konoha has made him proud, reminding him all the time that he is a glorious Konoha ninja.
But at this moment, he felt the urge to tear off this Konoha uniform that represented glory......
