Chapter 100: The Will of Fire
Soon, the form of the battlefield was reversed, and the support that came quietly from Konoha Village completely changed the form of the battlefield.
The ninjas of Konoha Village, who were still passively beaten, gradually became the side that beat the enemy. After the pressure of the battle decreased, the strength of the top ninjas in Konoha Village was exposed, and the elites of the opposing party couldn't raise their heads.
"Retreat, retreat!"
The Terroir Alliance was embarrassed, and roared loudly to remind their own ninjas who were caught in a bitter fight, and Ma slipped away.
A large number of enemy ninjas made a false move, and then ran away.
The ninjas of Konoha Village killed the enemies who were slow to retreat, and they no longer beat the deep pursuit of the water dogs.
All of a sudden, the noisy battlefield fell into dead silence, and there were always thousands of Konoha ninjas scattered all over the battlefield, but there was no communication.
Everyone was silent, feeling the hard-won victory, as well as the sadness and depression from the heart.
Qiu Ye Ling and Mizumon stood in a corner of the battlefield panting, looking around at the hell on earth paved with blood and dead corpses, their faces a little pale.
Although I have seen all kinds of battlefields on TV countless times, when I am there, it is a different look.
My mouth and tongue are a little dry, but I can't even squeeze out my saliva.
The warm corpse still yearns for the crimson blood, like the noblest pigment, painting the dry earth into a stinging dark red painting.
"Ling, promise me that you must not die in front of me."
Watergate's pale and bloodless face looked sad, and such a scene made him a little uncomfortable.
"You robbed me of what I said to you."
Under the war, familiar relatives leave, their partners die in battle, and they face death with deep emotional bonds again and again, which will leave a hole in their hearts.
Ninjas, too, are people.
"You two little ghosts, it's okay."
A big hand pressed on Akino Ling's head and gently rubbed his hair.
Zilai also felt very relieved, no matter what their future path was, at least, the strength of his three apprentices was enough to protect themselves.
"Jiraiya-sensei!"
Watergate shouted excitedly.
"Teacher, what are we going to do next?"
Looking at the mountains and forests like mass graves, Qiu Yeling asked.
A trace of imperceptible complicated emotions flashed in Jiraiya's eyes, and he looked around at the ninjas who were rescuing the wounded, and opened his mouth to shout: "All Konoha ninjas listen to the order, give priority to helping the wounded, and for the team members who died in battle, please take his corpse with you and take them home with you." ”
"Remember, don't wantonly destroy the corpses of your enemies, and in the future, there will be companions who will come to look for them as if they were your relatives."
The majestic and pleading words echoed on the battlefield, and soon, Jiraiya's words were spread all over the battlefield.
The ninjas who had lost their friends and loved ones were angry and wanted to crush the corpses of their enemies to ashes, but after being reminded that the anger in their hearts had not diminished, they also understood that out of respect for the dead and the hope that the enemy would do the same in future wars, they gave up the crazy idea.
"You two, go and help, I still have something to do, let's get out of the way."
After Jiraiya finished speaking, with a gloomy aura, he turned around and rushed down the mountain, and at this time Tsunade needed him.
Almost at the same time, Orochimaru's sinister eyes stopped for a moment from Akino Ling's body, and then he quickly chased after Jiraiya.
"Ling, what are you shaking, if you feel uncomfortable, take a rest next to you."
Qiu Yeling was speechless for a while, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the battlefield.
……
Six days later, Ling Akino and the others finally returned to Konoha Village.
In the cemetery of the ninja heroes of Konoha Village, there are hundreds of desolate graves, and on the hero monument, hundreds of pale and brand-new moment names are engraved on the wooden seals, which form a strong contrast with the names that have long been mottled by time, and pierce everyone's hearts.
The solemn condolence ceremony, the solemn and neat black dress, the whole funeral was solemn and very emotional, and the Hokage Yuan Fei Ri's speech with complex emotions was deep in love, and the old tears were horizontal, which made the farewell ceremony declaration of the funeral indirectly become a sincere word to inspire the survivors.
"Where the leaves fly, fire grows. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout. ”
Akino Ling is familiar with the meaning of this will of fire, when he used to watch the Hokage, he could still fill his chest with blood and be excited, but after being in it, hearing this sentence, his chest was a little blocked, as if he was stuffed with something, that is, he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't suck it down, and his head was splitting.
The general meaning of this sentence can be understood as: young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation should trust and protect them. The sacrifices of the older generation are not meaningless, but they inspire the younger ones to become the pillars of the future.
The flame of falling leaves is a metaphor for the heroic sacrifice of the older generation, and the new leaves are a metaphor for the vigorous young people.
Sadly, it was the new sprout that had just emerged from the spores that had just died.
Ling Qiu Ye frowned and stared at the high-level leaders of Konoha Village who were full of sadness and worries at the front, their decisions would determine the direction of the next battle.
"War is heartbreaking and painful, but it is also something that we have to go through to protect our land, and I hope you all have a good rest, because the war is not over yet."
Speaking of this, the ape Fei Ri Chop choked up for a while, and he was depressed and couldn't continue.
Shimura Danzou glanced at Sarutobi lightly, and said coldly: "Death is inevitable, but we have defended our homeland, according to intelligence, the high-level leaders of the Land Country and the Wind Country have made some moves, and we must always be vigilant against their return." At the end of the condolence ceremony, please take advantage of these days to rest and rest. ”
Crash
The originally neat crowd dispersed, and there were companions who went home in twos and threes, and there were also sad people who sat alone in front of one of the two graves, holding white porcelain wine bottles and pinching two small wine cups.
If you had to choose one of the saddest people, it would be Tsunade standing in front of two graves with a haggard face.
Two tombstones, one old and one new, the old wind and rain are exposed, on the tombstone, there have long been fine lines such as spider web-like cracks, and the tombstone is carved with the word "rope tree".
On the new tombstone is "Kato Broken", the two most important people for Tsunade.
Tears soaked Tsunade's white jade cheeks, and she didn't scream anymore, calling her lover's name, which she had already understood was useless.
"Human life is really short and fragile."
There was a rare sadness in Orochimaru's gloomy eyes, he slowly bent down and placed a string of grilled fish balls in front of the tomb of the rope tree, and his white bloodless hand cherished it on the tombstone of the rope tree.
Jiraiya stood quietly on the side, looking into Tsunade's eyes, regretful and sad.
"Ling, what are you doing!"
After many days, Kushina finally stopped Akino Ling again.
"Let's go have a barbecue for the three of us in a long time!"
Akino Ling stuffed Pikachu into Kushina's arms, gave Rimurusa to the water gate, and said a little freely.
At the very least, the three of us followed their old path, and ended up being like the three of them.
Ling Akino swore in his heart.
