"Trickle-"

A few days later, one early morning, it was raining lightly in Konoha.

In front of the cemetery behind Konoha, a young man was quietly kneeling in front of a tombstone, and the rain kept sliding down the side of his face, but he was a little unaware, just quietly looking at the tombstone in front of him, thinking about something.

Suddenly, above the teenager, a hand and an umbrella appeared.

"Orochimaru, go back."

Kaede Ye sighed softly.

He can probably imagine how big the blow Orochimaru received, maybe the big snake pill in the future is used to life and death, and he is determined, but at the moment he is just an ordinary child, and in the face of the tragedy of his parents dying in battle, he will not behave much better than other children.

Standing quietly for a moment, Kaede Ye advised again, "Orochimaru, go back." ”

In the face of Kaede's advice, Orochimaru was unmoved, but quietly continued to think about something.

After a long silence, Orochimaru asked a question.

"Man, why do you die?"

"This question..."

Feng Ye was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently: "I may not be able to answer this question to you, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, everyone can't avoid it, even if there is no accident, it will still be in the end..."

"Is it really unavoidable?"

"This..."

Sure enough, the current Orochimaru has already begun to think about the possibility of immortality...

"The answer to this question may require Orochimaru to find it yourself, in fact, I have thought about similar questions before, but I gave up."

"Oh?"

"For now, I think what we need most is strength..."

"Power..."

"Well, if you have the strength, at least you can guarantee that you don't die in the war, and you can also protect your companions from harm, and even go further, like the first adult, maintain the peace in the human ninja world and stop strife."

Looking at Orochimaru's slightly puzzled eyes, Kaede Ye couldn't help but sigh with his feelings: "You want to ask whether all human beings will die, I think this question is a little premature, the turmoil in the ninja world has started again, I believe this war is just the beginning, in the future, everyone, including you and me, may not be able to wait to consider whether they will eventually die of old age or something, the most intuitive, or the threat of life and death on the battlefield, before that, we need to think about how to have power first..."

"Is that so..."

"Well, in the future, you may have enough time to explore the mysteries of human life, but before that, you should ensure your strength, without strength, no matter how many ideas you have, you may not have the opportunity to act."

For Orochimaru's exploration of life and death, Kaede Ye has never intended to stop it, in fact, in Kaede Ye's heart, there is no idea about eternal life, human life is too short, if possible, who would not want to get a longer life.

However, as Kaede Ye said, for now, what they need is strength, and they really don't have time and energy to waste on the research of the exploration of the mystery of life, so he must warn Orochimaru a little.

Wait until they all have enough strength, it's not too late to conduct relevant research, and then don't even need to say more about Orochimaru, Kaede Night will also sponsor him unconditionally, as long as he guarantees not to start with the people in the village, the three generations should still be able to tolerate Orochimaru...

In other words, as long as there is a little bit of means, the three generations have to tolerate him, if it is another shadow, it may be very troublesome, but the three generations of this person, there are too many weaknesses...

Standing quietly in the rain with Orochimaru, Orochimaru raised some questions from time to time, including some strange questions, and even the discussion of life philosophy, and Kaede Ye was constantly giving his own answers.

In fact, Kaede Ye's so-called answers are not substantive answers at all, most of them are just following Orochimaru's words and saying something that is not nutritious, but this is probably enough.

Kaede Ye understands that people like Orochimaru have their own opinions, and they often don't need too many answers from others, what he needs now is probably just companionship, that's all.

After talking for a long time, Kaede Ye suddenly thought of something, and swept in a direction behind him with his afterglow.

"I've been here for a long time, and I can see that he cares about you very much, although he usually likes to make trouble for you, but I feel that you should be regarded as him, one of the few... Friend? ”

"That guy..."

Following the direction that Kaede Ye pointed, Orochimaru naturally swept Jiraiya at a glance, whose hiding ability was not outstanding, in fact, if it weren't for his sadness and lack of heart to investigate the surroundings, with Jiraiya's hidden ability, he would have been discovered by Orochimaru a long time ago.

The corners of his mouth suddenly turned slightly arc, and Orochimaru said disdainfully: "Heh, idiot..."

Saying that, Orochimaru stood up.

"Let's go, I'm fine..."

Finally, he turned around and glanced at his parents' tombstones, and Orochimaru's steps began to become firm.

"And... Thank you..."

Orochimaru's voice in the latter sentence was almost indiscible, and if it weren't for Kaede's outstanding hearing, he might not have been able to hear his words of thanks at all.

Soon, the two saw Jiraiya, who had no time to dodge.

"That, uh, what a coincidence, Kaede Night, you're here too, hey, idiot Orochimaru is also there..."

"Idiot..."

"Orochimaru, do you want to fight?"

"You think it's a fight between us, didn't I fight you unilaterally?"

"I, I, I, I..."

"Alright, stop arguing!" It was still Kaede Ye who shot out and held down the two people.

"Go to my house, my mother made fish soup, it's very suitable for eating this on a rainy day, you can warm up..."

Quietly looking at the big snake pill who seems to have returned to normal, in fact, Kaede Ye understands that the big snake pill looks like it's okay and it's probably just the appearance, he is such a person who is good at hiding his emotions, as for when he can really let go, or whether he will finally let go, no one knows...

Suddenly, Kaede thought of something.

"Orochimaru, do you have any other relatives at home?"

"No more..."

"Then let's move to my house in a few days, live alone, it's too lonely, and you can come too, I remember that you also live alone, it may be a little crowded these days, but after a while, after the three generations approve our new station, it should be much more spacious."

"I'm okay with that..."In fact, Orochimaru also had a bit of a desire to escape from that empty and sad home.

"I'm okay with that, but why bring this annoying guy Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya snorted with an unhappy face on his face.

"Suddenly I want to beat you up again..."

"It's not certain who beats whom!"

Silently looking at Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who would quarrel as long as they stayed together, Kaede Ye shook his head helplessly.

It seems that life in the future is not destined to be boring...
