The end of Konoha 43 years.

Today is the last day of the year, and it is also the New Year's Eve celebration of the Vortex Country.

Early in the morning, the people of the country of Vortex took the family to take advantage of the last discount day to go to the supermarket to stock up on more things.

When people live a prosperous life, they will want to get more things, for example, they don't want to gnaw on the bark of trees and eat steamed buns that are as hard as stones every meal, they don't want to wear white and torn clothes full of big holes that can't be washed every day, and they don't want to shrink down in the cold every night and wait for death......

The war has brought them too much pain.

So......

Today, civilians or ninjas who come to the country of the vortex will buy a new set of clothes for their families during this discounted time, praying that the country of the vortex will be stronger next year and their lives will be better......

The New Year period is also the happiest day for children in the country of Vortex, during this time, they can have new clothes to wear, snacks to eat, and even things that parents usually dare not buy at will, and today they will make an exception to buy some ......

Fruits, sweets, milk, honey, potato chips......

Many, many snacks will appear in front of them today~

As their parents said, they are grateful to the Vortex Country, allowing their family to be fed, clothed, and enjoy a life free of war.

Therefore, on this day, no matter how much the child is messing around, the parents will have a happy smile on their faces......

Because they want to......

Every year in the future, children will be able to grow happily every day!

After preparing a good dinner, they would take the family out for a walk in the evening, after all, it was not possible for the whole family to stay at home all day without a job.

And outside......

Flower streets, festivals, and fireworks at the end of the year to usher in the new year......

There's a lot of fun out there tonight, and it's a waste to stay at home!

With happy smiles on everyone's faces, the family intends to enjoy this last day of 43 years while ......

Looking forward to a better life next year!

……

Kakashi grabbed a pancake in his hand, and while walking down the street, he watched the New Year's Eve of Vortex Country and muttered, "It's very similar to the festival I encountered last time I secretly came to Vortex Country to investigate!" ”

The Land of Fire has temple fairs and festivals every year, but ......

But it's impossible to get everyone involved like the Vortex Country, whether it's ninjas or civilians.

"Nohara Rin and Shizune, they don't know where they went?"

Kakashi casually tossed the paper bag of the pancakes into the trash and glanced around, as if looking for something delicious or fun......

Today, all the team is on holiday, and even these prisoners can go out for a walk, of course, not everyone can move freely, only the prisoners who usually work seriously, responsibly, study diligently, and sincerely have them.

There are about 20 people in each ninja village.

And when they went out, the captain also gave each of them some special paper made by the Vortex Country......

It seems that you can use this to buy things in the country of Vortex today.

Originally, Kakashi was going to go out with Nohara Rin and the others, but it turned out that they seemed to have gone out a long time ago.

I heard that it was taken away by a heroic woman with blonde hair and a strange diamond on her forehead......

So......

Kakashi felt that he had better not bother them, thinking that with Tsunade-sama watching, nothing should happen.

"Ahem, a little thirsty." Kakashi lifted his throat, took out the special piece of paper on his body, counted them, and muttered, "It should be enough to buy a bottle of water~"

If you just buy water, you only have a little money left, and you don't know what you can eat later?

Raise your head and look at all that is prosperous and peaceful......

His heart was full of emotion......

Konoha ......

When will this be?

……

"What a boom!" Orochimaru licked his tongue and looked at the Vortex Country in front of him, and said, "That Vortex Country Daimyo is really powerful!" ”

It can develop a vortex country that was originally about to be destroyed into a small island country that even the five ninja villages dare not underestimate!

This is not something that ordinary people can do!

"yes!" With a smile on his face, Beryuhu looked at the scenery in front of him and said with emotion, "Everyone here thinks he is the best!" ”

"More powerful than the god of the ninja world who ended the chaos of the Warring States!"

"Better than everyone else!"

"And I ......"

The corners of Beryuhu's mouth rose slightly......

"I think so, too!"

I was ...... back then.

Just to get the approval of others, I want to tell everyone that I am no worse than Sannin, and I do bullshit......

It's a bit naïve to think about it now!

"Perhaps!" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "Where are we going now?" ”

Ever since he came to the Vortex Country, he has been staying in Beryuhu, and although his movements have been somewhat restricted, he ......

I was still able to go out and walk around under the leadership of Beryuhu.

In the past few months, at his request, Beryuhu has also taken him around the country of the vortex, and even gave a lecture at the academy, and he also made a cameo appearance as a teacher......

It was a different feeling than when I became a teacher of the rope tree.

Dozens of pairs of eyes below stared at him with a longing for the unknown, especially when the children exclaimed in incredible amazement at the sight of his experiments......

Orochimaru discovered......

That feeling......

It's very comfortable!

Those eyes that do not contain any impurities, with anticipation and exploration, may be the most beautiful eyes in this ninja world.

Just like when he was young, his father and mother would hold his hand, point to something he didn't understand and be curious about, and explain to him kindly and patiently, "This is ......"

It's just that I don't know how long it has been, and I don't like to reminisce, but I didn't expect to be in the country of vortex......

Myself......

It's changed again......

Maybe this is the inheritance that the old man has always said!

Leaving hope, knowledge, and the exploration of the world to the next generation......

So that the next generation can go further~

It's just that......

Konoha's approach has long been wrong.

It has changed since the old man forced the children to graduate early and go to the front!

It becomes cold and ......

Cruel!

"I'm a little hungry." Orochimaru looked at everything in front of him calmly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a trademark smile, and said, "I heard that there are some special programs tonight, I don't know what it will be?" ”

It's really curious!

"This ......" Beryuhu touched his chin, looked at the newly opened hot pot restaurant next to him, and said, "Why don't we go to make hot pot!" ”

"This year's winter is colder than in previous years, and it's time to eat hot pot."

He let out a sigh of emotion......

"If only Tsunade and Jiraiya were there, the four of them haven't gotten together for a meal in years."

I went to look for Tsunade in the morning, but I didn't find it, so she had already gone out, and as for Jirai, ......

I don't know when I'll be back??

"Let's go!" Orochimaru nodded and said with a smile, "It's the same next time we get together." ”

Then he followed Beryuhu and walked towards the hot pot restaurant next to him, but when he saw the signboard above......

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then, he smiled helplessly and muttered, "Authentic Four-Tails...... Hot pot restaurant~"

……

Watergate didn't know what he was supposed to do now, and he had been staying in his room reading for months, and he felt that his whole person seemed to have changed.

Or rather......

He......

A little confused.

During this time......

I actually learned to question Konoha and Hokage-sama.

Especially when I look at the smiling faces around me, this kind of doubt in my heart is even stronger.

Right now......

He may know why the daimyo of the Vortex Country would let him roam freely today, but ......

Watergate quietly watched everything in front of him......

These......

A happy smile doesn't deceive him.

clenched fists tightly......

There was a sudden longing in the psyche, a very strong longing......

He......

I want to change Konoha, change the country of fire, change the entire ninja world, and make them the same as the current country of Vortex!!

Just as Uzumaki smiled at him and stretched out his hand and said, "I hope you can change the entire ninja world with me." ”

Only then......

He......

Hesitated.

With a wry smile on his face, Watergate shook his head and looked at everything in front of him......

"Jiraiya-sensei, is this the peace you want?"
