Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Price of War
"Hahahaha!"
Orochimaru has been paying attention to the movements here, although he is usually very indifferent, but when it comes to his best friends and students, he is still quite interested!
When he heard that Rope Tree had hesitated for a long time and said such a thing, he really couldn't help it, and laughed directly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Tsunade also heard Orochimaru's laughter, his face became even redder, and he wanted to go back directly, but he held back and asked in a low voice,
"Well, anything else?"
The rope tree really came from the heart, but from the heart, it became cowardlyγγγγγγ
Looking at the crystal clear beautiful sister in front of her, Rope Tree short-circuited her brain again,
"No, it's gone!"
Tsunade raised his head sharply and glared at the rope tree,
"Humph!"
Turn around and walk into the cave and seal the barrier directly.
Rope tree looked at his sister who disappeared from view, and patted his head with regret,
"Why don't you say it! Ah! β
Reaching out and wanting to pass the chakra message to the enchantment again, but after thinking about it, I have already reached this point today, I thought about it again and again, sighed, put down my arm, and could only find another opportunity!
Orochimaru saw Rope Tree walking out with a tangled face, and smiled slightly,
"Rope tree, it turns out that the confession is to ask the other party if they have eaten enough tonight! I see, today I learned! β
Looking up at Orochimaru depressedly, and now that he didn't want to say anything, Rope Tree lowered his head again, silently walked to his resting ground, laid an enchantment, and gradually fell asleep in his own remorse.
A few days later, the army had completely defeated the Land of Rain, and of course, brought back a lot of rich loot back to Konoha.
Looking at the truckloads of goods, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.
Jiraiya and Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Rope Tree said goodbye to each other.
"The three of you must hurry up to the Land of the Wind to support Lord Shuomao, although we have won this war, but don't take it lightly!"
Tsunade stood at the front of the three and nodded,
"Let's rest assured! There are no tricky characters in the Land of the Wind, but you, who still have to teach three children, should pay attention to them in normal times! β
Zilai also showed a confident smile,
"Don't worry! In the past few days, I feel that the three of them are still very well-behaved! If there is any news, we can also pass it on to each other through the Konoha dark department, just at this time, I also have to study my immortal technique! β
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed,
"Oh? Even the first Hokage-sama also knew the art of immortals? β
Jiraiya nodded,
"Yes, but there is a certain difference from the original Hokage-sama, I learned the immortal technique from Myoki Mountain, and the effect is not the same."
Orochimaru also heard about the cultivation method of the Immortal Technique, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
At the time of parting, Rope Tree looked at the three people hiding behind Jiraiya again, and said to Jiraiya,
"Brother Jiraiya, you must be a good teacher!"
Unexpectedly, Jiraiya hugged the rope tree into his arms, bent over and said softly with a smile,
"Rope tree, I've heard about it, you have to come on!"
Then in the blink of an eye, he gave Rope Tree a look that had already seen through everything.
Rope Tree Ran, and then glanced at the big snake pill who was looking up at the sky, and the senses of him in his heart changed again, I didn't expect him to have such a side of spreading gossip!
Finally, the four waved goodbye.
After walking for a long time, Tsunade asked with some curiosity,
"Rope tree, when you left, what did you say? You're all mysterious! β
Rope Tree's face flushed, blinked his eyes, and then said righteously,
"He said, let me take a good look when I see Mr. Shuomao, and at the same time obey Lord Shuomao's orders to go and protect the safety of the Fire Country!"
Tsunade looked at the rope tree's serious nonsense, and said helplessly to the rope tree,
"Do you think I believe it?"
Rope Tree smiled, looked up at the gray sky and said,
"Hehe, the weather is really nice today, it's sunny!"
After the three of them walked for two days, they were almost to the border, and the rope tree pointed to a small hill not far away and said to his sister,
"Sister, I used to live in that village when I did my first mission! That village seems to be called Shanxi Village! There was also a little girl named Pear Blossom who took special care of me at that time! β
When Tsunade heard that there was another girl, he looked at the rope tree playfully and said,
"What a coincidence! It seems that everywhere you go, there will be little girls who are very good to you! Let's not talk about Yueying and Meiqin in our village, now there is another pear blossom? β
The rope tree was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly waved his hand,
"No, it's not! We are all very pure and pure friendship! β
Tsunade gave a white look at the rope tree,
"Forget it, I don't care! Check it out! β
Seeing that his sister didn't continue to entangle, Rope Tree breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,
"Sister, the folk customs there are very simple! I still remember the pheasant stew with mushrooms there and still have a lot of aftertaste! It's so delicious! β
In the laughter and laughter of the rope tree all the way, I slowly approached the small village that was once a small village.
However, gradually the rope tree stopped laughing.
Because until now, the three of them haven't met a single person! Vaguely, Rope Tree was aware of what had happened to that small village.
The rope tree fell silent, his pace getting faster and faster, and the uneasiness in his heart grew.
Turning the last corner, the rope tree stopped its progress and stared at the small village in front of him that was half collapsed and half charred.
Tsunade and Orochimaru also saw this scene, they didn't say anything, but they already knew that the cause of this village was this war.
Rope tree's eyes were slightly moist, and he ran quickly to the wreckage of the village, and shouted loudly,
"Pear blossom! Pear! β
Finally, I ran to the original pear blossom's house, and saw the ruins in front of me, and I didn't speak for a long time, only two lines of tears dripped down my cheeks.
Tsunade and Orochimaru ran over, and when they saw the sad appearance of the rope tree, Tsunade took the rope tree in his arms and touched his head.
"It's already happening, don't think about it anymore! War, there will be sacrifice and death! β
Rope shook his head in Tsunade's arms, tears had already soaked Tsunade's clothes, and he looked up puzzled and asked,
"But they're all civilians who don't know anything! Why do they suffer like this! β
Taking out a handkerchief from his arms, Tsunade wiped the snot and tears from the rope tree to him, looked at him tenderly and said,
"War is cruel! This kind of thing doesn't change because of you or me! Wherever the war is affected, it will be a devastation! Hey~ That's why our Konoha won't lead the war to the country! β
