The land of rain is always rainy.

Icy morgue.

Jiraiya slowly lifted the white cloth, and his hands trembled violently.

He turned his head away, put down the white cloth, and clenched his fists.

He was about to speak.

Orochimaru's flat voice came from the door: "Only these have been recovered." ”

Zilai couldn't help it anymore and slammed his fist against the wall.

He closed his eyes, and in his mind, the fragments of flesh and blood under the white cloth could not piece together the confident and optimistic appearance of the teenager in his memory.

For a long time, Jiraiya's voice was hoarse: "When will you notify Tsunade?" ”

After speaking, he felt meaningless, and said irritably: "Let's bury it first." ”

He couldn't imagine what Tsunade would have been like if he had seen what he had just seen.

Rather than that, it is better to advocate for burial first.

At least, the rope tree in Tsunade's memory is still intact.

Someone from the logistics department came in and went out with a cart.

Jiraiya watched the cart go away, and at this moment, there was movement outside.

Under the rain of night, Tsunade was shrouded in the wind and stumbled in, just in time to see the cart that had not disappeared.

She realized something, and Mu Ran chased after her.

But she was pale, and she stumbled and was about to fall.

Jiraiya subconsciously wanted to help, but saw a hand grab Tsunade's arm first.

Uchiha Oya, the return of the companion.

Jiraiya withdrew his hand, saw Tsunade struggling forward, stopped on the road, and shook his head slightly.

Tsunade looked at the cart that disappeared in the distance, the outline under the white cloth, as a medical ninja, even if she didn't look at it, she could imagine what it would look like under the white cloth.

She collapsed on the ground, hiding her face and weeping bitterly......

The last of her loved ones left, and she was alone.

"After all, it's a war now."

Orochimaru leaned against the wall, not knowing whether to explain or comfort.

He pulled a necklace out of his bosom, got up and put it in Tsunade's hand, and left.

Tsunade clutches the necklace that her grandfather gave her.

When Joto vows to be a Hokage like her grandfather, she gives it to her younger brother.

The rope tree is most proud of, and the most precious thing is the necklace given by this sister.

If it's just to see the white cloth, Tsunade can still have a trace of luck.

But seeing the necklace that the rope tree never left her body, she couldn't even do the last self-deception, and broke down to vent her grief with a cry.

Jiraiya sighed and didn't bother.

When passing by the Uchiha Oya, he gently patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Take good care of her, she ...... It's actually fragile. ”

The night saw Jiraiya leave, and he also watched the big snake pill who forgot to take shelter from the rain farther away.

He looked back at Tsunade's trembling shoulders and sighed.

Tsunade and Qi Yue are the same type of people, usually heroic and informal, but the stronger the mask, the more fragile the heart is protected.

On the contrary, it is Mio Hinata, who is usually afraid of speaking loudly, but when faced with difficulties, she is stronger.

Yuye didn't do anything, just quietly accompany.

Listen to her cry and let her vent.

The pain of losing a loved one is not a sentence of mourning, a sentence of looking away, a sentence of understanding, which can alleviate half a point.

can only use companionship, silently waiting for her to lick her wounds, silently supporting her, and not letting her collapse.

Yuya waited until Tsunade went from crying to being too quiet and staring blankly at the necklace in his hand before he helped Tsunade away.

Back in Tsunade's room, he packed up his bed and prepared hot water and food that he didn't need at all and put it on the table.

Tsunade lay on the bed with his clothes all the way, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It wasn't until the night came to say goodbye that she came back to her senses.

Grab his hand.

Yuya didn't ask, didn't struggle, and didn't let go.

Just sit on the edge of the bed.

Tsunade's hand clenched hard, as if he was afraid of leaving.

Yuye knew that he couldn't leave at this time, so he simply turned off the lights.

For a long time, Tsunade held his palm sideways and placed it in front of his face.

After a long time, the suppressed cry sounded again.

Tears ran down the back of Miya's hand and couldn't stop sliding......

……

The night rain in autumn is cool.

After Tsunade fell asleep, Oya came out to breathe.

Suppressed emotions are always very penetrating.

Especially after experiencing the same experience, the emotions inevitably resonate.

After the fresh air relieved him a little, his heart moved and he stepped into the rain.

walked to the barren courtyard I had seen before, and sure enough, I saw the figure.

Fragile people, how can they be more than Tsunade?

Maybe he didn't even know that his other companion didn't return all night.

Orochimaru looked at the white flowers swaying in front of him in the rain.

He guessed who it was, but didn't turn around.

In a hoarse voice, he asked, "Sleeping?" ”

Yuye's gaze also fell on the nameless flower, "Hmm." ”

After nearly two years of contact, he gradually became familiar with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's usual style makes Ochiya recall more pictures, at least putting aside the prejudice in the middle of the original book.

The future Orochimaru is cold and cunning, but it does not prevent him from becoming a three-ninja now, he is a person who has a cold appearance and is ruthless to the enemy, but he is cold and warm-hearted to his companions.

The inner femininity is probably this awkward description.

Yuye said bluntly: "I didn't expect to see such a fragile side of you." ”

Orochimaru looked at the flowers in front of him, and they were finally washed away by the rain and scattered in the mud.

He shook his head slightly: "No, it's not me who is vulnerable, it's people." ”

Ninjas also belong to the category of people, only stronger.

But ninjas are just as vulnerable.

When you are prepared, you can even resist ninjutsu without dying.

But when there is no preparation, a kunai, a detonation charm, can be fatal - the most common cause of death of ninjas on the battlefield is not cool ninjutsu, but death from kunai, death from detonation charms.

The death of the rope tree seems to awaken Orochimaru's dusty memories again, and his mentality begins to change.

Orochimaru looked away from the wreckage of the flowers, and asked sideways, "What stage has your ninjutsu developed?" ”

Yu Ye replied: "The second stage is far from the point of the new escape technique. ”

Wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth, he has completed the transformation of form and initial nature in more than a year.

But the third stage, reshaping the chakra structure, completely changing the nature, and reaching the level of the blood inheritance limit, is more complicated than imagined.

Orochimaru sighed: "Perfect ninjutsu control, perfect chakra mastery, I heard that your medical ninjutsu is not far from Tsunade's level?" ”

He looked into Miya's eyes, "Do you remember the cooperation?" Live well, I need your abilities. ”

Life is short, what is the joy of life?

This is true for parents, and so is for rope trees.

Fragile human beings, it seems, have limits after all.

Orochimaru's desire to go further became stronger and stronger.

And if there were these hands, these eyes, and his understanding, he would be able to take a step faster and go further than he thought in his heart.

Yuya didn't show a look of yearning, and asked, "Then Orochimaru-sama thinks, what do I need?" ”

Orochimaru was slightly stunned, and then regretted: "I knew that the year you graduated, I would have accepted you for nothing." ”

Yes, he needs the ability to resist the night.

But does the night need him?

In the past, this was a question that did not need to be considered.

But now that Night's wings are growing, he is fully qualified to demand equal cooperation, which in turn tests his ability as a collaborator.

Orochimaru asked, "Then what do you need me to prove?" ”

In terms of theoretical research alone, he and Yuye have studied in a different direction, and in terms of ninjutsu, Orochimaru is not as good as the current Yuye. But in terms of secret arts, forbidden arts, etc., he still can't catch up with Yu Ye for a long time.

Yuye's eyes burned: "Help me study someone first." ”

……

When Oyoya was almost dawn, he returned to Tsunade's room.

He wasn't sure if Tsunade had woken up, and his steps were light.

But as soon as he entered, he saw that the water and food on the table were empty.

At this time, Tsunade came out of the bathroom.

Her face was still not good, and she couldn't hide her haggardness.

But he changed into plain clothes and forced himself to calm down.

Yuya put down the breakfast he brought with him and asked, "Will you not sleep again?" ”

Tsunade looked at him, inexplicably in a trance, she came back to her senses, her voice was slightly hoarse: "The front line is tense, I've been willful all night, it's time to go." ”

Yuye thought for a moment and said, "I'll send you." ”

Orochimaru's most important task here has been completed.

The front line is now fighting fiercely, and even if Tsunade doesn't say anything, Orochimaru will stuff some people over to help.

In that case, it is better to go by yourself.

And Tsunade came back in a hurry, and although the people he brought were close, he lacked strength.

Letting Tsunade leave in this state, Miya is not at ease.

When Tsunade heard this, he didn't refuse.

Yuye is already a qualified shinobi, no longer the past, and ordinary decisions will basically be adopted first.

After the two of them packed up, Kurama Qiyue, who rushed back behind, rested for a while and was about to continue to set off.

The transparent man followed the return of the day difference at a glance, and silently prepared with the team as before.

But before leaving, Yuya seemed to see him and stopped him.

"This time you stay."

He glanced at Orochimaru, who was seeing him off in the distance, withdrew his gaze, and patted Hiza on the shoulder cordially, "Remember to cooperate with Orochimaru-sama to work." ”

Riza touched his head: ???

It's understandable to stay, but... What does it have to do with Orochimaru-sama?
