Chapter 139: The Fallen Tree
Amamiya nervously listened to the movement outside, as if there was no one left.
Seeing Amamiya's somewhat flustered expression, Nishida clenched her hand with some distress and gave her a comforting look.
They were hiding in a shelter with their families, and when Aoyagi alerted them to something unusual, they immediately ran to the shelter.
There are now many other villagers in the shelter, as well as the Konoha ninjas who stayed here to protect them. Although it is not crowded yet, the whole space is almost full.
Although the people who are close to each other are leaning together, they do not form obvious small groups, and everyone comes together to comfort each other.
Not so long ago, the sound of battle was heard outside. In order to prevent any hostile ninjas from discovering the place, they quickly quieted down, trying not to make a sound, and even slowed down their breathing. The panic and depression lasted for a few minutes, and it was only when there was no movement outside that everyone relaxed a little, and then they were concerned about their friends and relatives in other places...... All kinds of mixed emotions come to mind.
Lowering his voice, Amamiya asked, "Aoyagi will be fine, right?" Although she knew that there would be no answer to this question, her heart was messed up, and she felt more relieved to ask it.
Nishida patted the back of her hand and comforted, "It's okay." Aoyagi will protect herself. ”
………………
The store manager and a group of clerks are hiding in the basement of the store.
Alerted by Aoyagi, he gathered the staff in the name of cleaning the store and closed the business temporarily, and as soon as he noticed that something was going on, he immediately led the staff to the basement of the store.
It used to be a warehouse, and the store manager had already prepared enough food and water.
The store manager's long-standing face seemed to give people a sense of calm and peace at this time, and everyone who was still a little panicked because of the sudden accident gradually calmed down a lot because of the store manager's performance.
The manager faced the basement door and fumbled for the knife he had with him.
This knife was still given by Aoyagi, and I don't know how he is doing now.
The manager's tone was flat, as if today was no different from the previous days: "It's safe here, invading ninjas won't attack a closed shop, they're targeting more important facilities." Even if a hostile ninja comes in, it's not impossible for us to save our lives. ”
When the clerks behind the store manager heard this, they all subconsciously grabbed the weapon (kitchen knife) at hand. Even though they know that they are no match for ninjas, this gives them some sense of security.
Moreover, even if they are not opponents, they may even be vulnerable, but this does not be a reason for them not to resist.
In the face of death, no matter how powerless you are, you must resist. The enemy may be able to take his life, but he cannot take away the will to resist.
………………
Araki and Sugi are taking a group of students to the shelter this month, and they are safe along the way.
Bang~ There was a sudden explosion not far away, and the smoke was filled. The students, who had already been a little flustered, were frightened by the sudden explosion, and they were more or less out of shape. However, the training they have undergone has not caused them to run around uncontrollably, but to stay where they are and maintain order.
Araki glanced at the explosion site and said, "I'll go investigate, Sugimoto, and you can stay in the team with the other teachers." ”
Glancing deeply at Araki, Sugimoto didn't stop: "Okay, then be careful yourself." ”
"You need to be careful, too."
After using the Hidden Ninja with difficulty and slowly, Araki sneaked away quickly and stealthily.
Moments later, he lay behind the remnants of a half-wall of the ruins, pulling out his mirror and peeking at the situation.
A tall Konoha ninja is one-on-one with a masked sand ninja, and the battle is stalemate. Watching the meeting quietly, Araki seized the opportunity and threw his shuriken......
With Araki's help, Shinobu was killed after a while. After seeing the death of the sand ninja, Araki did not appear, but silently retreated, leaving the Konoha ninja who was a little puzzled.
…………
Drops of blood fell from the air onto the roof, and then slowly slid down. The droplets of blood eventually lengthened into a trail of blood in the long path.
The three generations coughed, their bodies were a little weak, they fought for a long time, and sealed the two Hokages, his chakra and physical strength, the consumption was too huge, I don't know how long I can last.
Staring at the disciple in front of him, the three generations gritted their teeth and insisted on pulling his soul.
Orochimaru, I was still soft-hearted before, and it was my mistake to let you go, but this time, I want to make up for my mistake.
"It's all over!"
Orochimaru's face was panicked, this ninjutsu, if it was sealed, it would really die! No matter how many spare bodies there are, it's useless, the soul is directly sealed, and it's basically not saved!
"No kidding!" Orochimaru's face was hideous, and he urged the grass pheasant sword that had pierced three generations with all his might.
The blade cut through the flesh and skin, causing even more pain to the three generations, and the spirit was a little sluggish.
Damn, I can't hold on, that's all. I taught you ninjutsu in the first place, and now, your ninjutsu, I'm going to take them back.
"I'm going to take all the tricks you've learned."
Knowing that he couldn't continue to be so deadlocked, the three generations made a fierce effort and pulled out the arm of Orochimaru's soul.
"Stop!"
In Orochimaru's angry and frightened eyes, the huge god of death floating behind the three generations took the knife in his mouth and swung it violently.
"Seal!"
His soul was hit hard, and Orochimaru's whole body trembled with pain, and what was even worse was that he found that his arm was slowly losing consciousness after a strong burning sensation, and at the same time, he also lost control of his arm, and could only hang down weakly.
Looking at his arm in disbelief, Orochimaru looked up at the three generations who were smiling and fell, and shouted angrily, "What a laugh!" Give me my arm back! Damn old man! ”
Sealing off Orochimaru's arm and completing the last thing he could do for Konoha made the three generations relieved, and immediately felt that all the strength in his body was lost at once, and he slowly fell.
At the moment when the world in front of him slowly tilted, he remembered many things.
After successfully becoming a ninja, he wore a forehead guard for the first time, and the teaching of him from generation to generation became the joy of the ninja. Orochimaru and Tsunade, who got the bell, and Jiraiya, who was tied to a stake...... Become a Hokage...... The time of a lifetime flashed by in front of my eyes.
Although it is not perfect, I have finally fulfilled my due responsibilities in this life.
Orochimaru, your ambitions, end here. Even if you want to continue attacking Konoha again, someone will stop you.
The will of fire has been passed down, and more and more trees will emerge to continue to protect the leaves. Where the leaves fly, there will be a fire burning, and the shadow of the fire will shine on the village.
Konoha Village, my family, I can't continue to protect you, forgive me for wanting to retire.
From now on, it's up to you.
Darkness falls. Faintly, there was still the scolding of Orochimaru in his ears, but it gradually disappeared.
It's over.
