If the path to go is death, then there is no fear. (Foreword)

A few days later, an arm from Iwa Ninja Village was placed on Sarufei's desk, and the news of death came one after another.

Perhaps because the sealing was well done, the arm looked like there was no sign of decay, but the skin was very pale and there was no blood at all, and the whole arm was only bare with a small amount of pale skin, because the other parts were stained with blood, which was in sharp contrast to the pale skin that was exposed.

A short knife, held tightly by this arm, the fingers seemed to have been soaked in blood for a long time, turning red, the blade of the short knife, like the fingers, stained with deep blood, but the handle was still as black as inky jade.

This short knife is called Thunder Tooth, it is Ye Zi's saber, and now it is held by a broken arm, and it is just in front of him.

Ape Fei's hands pinched the armrests of the chair hard, his eyes were fixed on the broken arm, his brows were tightly locked, and a ditch was squeezed out between his foreheads.

He was suppressing his anger, which he didn't know who to target.

Maybe he needed an explanation, but no one could give him that explanation.

As a member of the root, Ye Zi was sent out by Danzo to carry out a mission, and now, Iwa Shinobi Village sent this broken arm to Konoha.

So, Ye Zi died.

Why, just died?

Even Ape Fei, who was accustomed to seeing death, couldn't help but sigh after forcibly suppressing his surging emotions.

He didn't know what kind of mission Tuan Zang sent Ye Zi to perform, and now, he regretted it very much, but it was too late to regret it.

If he had been tougher at the beginning, he would not have put Ye Zi in a dilemma, resulting in being blocked by Tuan Zang when he escaped from the village, so as to coerce Ye Zi to join the root.

If he had been tough enough to protect Ye Zi at the beginning, then Ye Zi would not have joined the root in the darkness, but would follow him as the identity of the dark department.

In this way, it will not be like a task machine, performing so many tasks for Konoha and Root.

Ape Fei knows that Ye Zi's mission resume in the root records many times that Ye Zi has wandered on the edge of life and death, and now, this information will draw the last stroke.

"Orochimaru, you once said that this child will become a towering tree of Konoha in the future, you are right, and I am old after all, he should have a better home and path, but because of my concession..."Sarufei slowly let go of the hand holding the handrail, sighed in a low voice, thinking of the future arrangement, he was even more guilty.

The identity of a hero may be the best blessing for the deceased.

What achievements do you have to achieve, how much contribution do you have to make to be worthy of a hero?

This is very general, but as long as Ye Zi's mission resume is released, no one can refute Ye Zi's qualifications as a hero.

However, the mission resume could only be sealed in a scroll, sinking into darkness and not seeing the light of day.

Because, he is a member of the roots, wandering in the dark, unknown, and no matter how much credit he has made for Konoha, people can't see it, because the roots are always under the ground, not those leaves that are shrouded in sunlight.

He is Ye Zi, the identity of a disciple of Orochimaru, but from the moment he joined the root, he spent more time with the darkness, so he could not have the same positive reputation as the Bo Feng Shuimen who was active in the sun.

Ye Zi is the hero of Konoha, there is no doubt about it, but after his death, not only can he not leave his name on the memorial monument, but he can't even clarify the rumors in the village.

How unfair this is to Ye Zi!

A thick self-deprecation appeared on Ape Fei's face, and he suddenly slapped the table hard, looking so tired, like an old man who was about to die.

He's old after all.

So, the idea of wanting to give way is so strong at this moment.

"I'm sorry."

Ape Fei lowered his head slightly, and the hat with the word fire printed on it covered his tired expression.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.

Without knocking, it opened.

The person who came in was Orochimaru, who walked to the desk with a blank face.

Hearing the movement, Ape Fei slowly raised his head and looked at Orochimaru, his previous tired and helpless expression turned into nothingness at this moment.

"Shouldn't you be doing something?" Orochimaru's expression was cold, and his tone was also very cold, and there was no wave in those cold snake eyes, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.

Ape Fei's old face shook slightly, and he was silent.

"You're old." Orochimaru's calm and waveless snake eyes finally showed anger, and he said coldly: "It's better to abdicate, I will do what you can't do." ”

Once, Orochimaru longed for the position of Hokage, but after so many twists and turns, the pure original intention has long since ceased to exist, if you still want to be the Hokage, it is just for some convenience, as for the idea of protecting Konoha as the Hokage, it has long been annihilated in an unknown corner.

Now, he wants to be the Hokage, more urgently than ever, because he wants to clarify the malicious rumors for Ye Zi, at least in the end, this is what he can do, and what he wants to do the most.

Sarufei didn't be silent anymore, he looked up and looked at Orochimaru, the most proud protégé in the past, who gradually grew up in his expectations, and was named the name of the Three Ninjas, and how much sweat and blood he had made for Konoha was the real pillar of Konoha.

However, Orochimaru is not suitable to be the Hokage.

There are many people who are suitable for this position, Kato Broken, Bo Feng Shuimen, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, but there is no Orochimaru, because, Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo are the same kind of people.

"There is a more suitable person to sit in this seat." Ape Fei's tone was slightly tired, "Ye Zi, I'm sorry for him." ”

"Huh." Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh, and a thick mockery appeared on his pale face, "This is my teacher, time is such a thing, it is really mysterious." ”

The words full of deep meaning, at this moment, reflect the corner of Orochimaru's values.

Human life is fragile.

A person's life is as short as a.

Time controls a person's life, and in the process, many things can be wiped out.

If you want to fight against time, you can only live forever...

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Ye Zi's death was sudden bad news. When Ape Fei sent someone to tell him, he couldn't accept it, in that cold and empty house, there was an extra figure more than ten years ago, and he had become accustomed to the existence of this figure over the years, and now, he had also left.

He was silent at home for a moment, then quickly accepted the fact before heading to Ape Fei's office.

Ye Zi died.

As a member of the same root, Orochimaru knew very well that over the years, Ye Zi's achievements would sink into darkness along with death.

This kind of thing doesn't matter at all, the only thing that needs to be addressed is that ridiculous rumors. If you want to clarify this rumor, even in his identity, there is no way, only the voice of the Hokage is the fundamental solution.

He came for it and returned disappointed.

Disappointed in the teacher I once revered, disappointed in the position of the Hokage, disappointed in the village of Konoha...

Ape Fei looked at the open office door and was silent. (To be continued.) )
