Sand Hidden ......

Gold Dust Burial ......

Kikyo City is gone, there are no corpses, no blood, and in its place is a desert......

Qing Shui stood alone on this golden sea, and the silence around him was chilling.

"Are they all dead......" his throat was a little hoarse.

At the last moment, he was at the forefront of sandstorm pressure...... Almost half of the power was carried by him alone.

But Chakra, who was already dissatisfied, couldn't bear such a huge consumption at all, and the strength of his water escape was also limited!

In the face of this heavy and powerful pressure like a mountain......

Finally......

The blue water shattered......

Just remember that there was sand everywhere......

He didn't have time to cast a second wall of water, so he could only rely on the flow of water that was shattered by the sand, relying on the "instant water", and in the blink of an eye, he broke away from this sea of dead sand......

Orochimaru's earth escape is so powerful, it should be able to protect them......

Case...... Why didn't you show up?!

"Is there anyone else?" Qing Shui shouted loudly, and the endless sea of sand echoed with his lonely voice.

He walked aimlessly, trying to find survivors......

Someone who can respond to him......

'If everybody dies......

'Kosuke-sensei, Orochimaru, stop the water. ’

'Asma, Ho Yun, Kay. ’

"And everyone, Konoha companions."

'Ah...... And Megumi ......'

An inexplicable pathos suddenly emerged in my heart......

He closed his eyes and muttered, "I'm sorry...... Left is. ”

"I broke my promise."

"I'm still not strong enough to save you......" Qing Shui suddenly sat down on the sand.

"Ah...... It hurts, it hurts! ”

Who?!

Qing Shui dodged, pressed his left hand on the hilt of the sword, and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

I saw a head struggling out of the sand, and Zhishui, whose face was stained, smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Qing Shui, you just stepped on my hand......"

Then he showed a gentle smile again: "And ...... Thank you, teacher, you saved me. ”

……

…………

………………

After a while, more and more Konoha ninjas crawled out of the sand, and these people were the lucky ones who were within the protection range of Orochimaru......

Orochimaru really didn't disappoint him, and his earth escape persevered to the end!

Qing Shui roughly counted about a hundred Konoha ninjas who survived......

In the face of ninjutsu of this level, he can still save a quarter of the people, Orochimaru's strength is really admirable!

Moreover, Orochimaru actually preserved all the "essence" of Konoha......

Not only Zhishui, but also Asma, He Yun and Kai, and even Hui are among them.

Benefit...... Still alive!

The heart that had been silent came alive again.

It was only at this time that Qing Shui, who had experienced the catastrophe, felt a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.

"Qing Shui ......" Hui Qiang held back tears.

"It's all right...... Passed. We all survived. Qing Shui stroked her long black hair.

"Shimizu...... I saw you fight that monster...... My heart was pounding. Megumi threw herself into Qing Shui's arms and whispered, "But you're so powerful, you killed all those monsters." ”

Shimizu remembers that when he was chasing the group of imps away, Megumi looked back at him several times......

Hehe......

Don't talk about worrying, but the body is very honest.

"I've always been great."

"Then you'll have to teach me all your best tricks!"

"No problem."

"That's not right...... I'll learn all your tricks! ”

"Yes."

"Shimizu...... I miss my brother. ”

"Ah...... I miss him too. ”

The big snake pill on the side looked at the endless sea of sand and said softly, "This ...... Is it Kikyo Castle? ”

At this time, he looked very miserable, with scattered hair and tattered clothes.

Three Ninja Orochimaru, how many years ago was the last time it was so embarrassed?

"Huh...... Sha Yin is really a big deal. ”

Revenge on Konoha?

So the whole Kikyo City was destroyed.

"Four generations of Kazekage...... And Chiyo ...... "Orochimaru's cold tone......

It's hate.

It's also killing intent.

"April-kun was at the last moment...... Can't hold on? ”

Delusion? How do you feel that Orochimaru is questioning?

Is it because his water is gone, and the pressure is on him?

"Chakra is not enough." Shimizu told the truth.

"Is that ......" Orochimaru suddenly lowered his voice and said slowly with that familiar smile, "Why didn't you use 'Time Reversal' this April?" ”

"It's too big...... Qing Shui felt the need to add more, so he continued, "Even if there is chakra, my water escape can't withstand that kind of pressure......

"I see...... Orochimaru said with a smile, "It seems that there are still many secrets that I don't know. ”

Where does Orochimaru want to go?

"Orochimaru, you're too suspicious." Qing Shui responded calmly, "I'm just an ordinary civilian ninja, and I don't have any blood inheritance limits......"

"There's really nothing to be concerned about...... Orochimaru you should moderate your curiosity. ”

It is true that Qing Shui has picked up a lot of golden fingers, and even has some adventures......

However, the most important thing for him to get to where he is today is by his own efforts.

Because a person's success is mostly made up of countless bits and pieces of perseverance and hard work; And a person's failure only needs one mistake to be enough to lose all the achievements.

"Speaking of which, Orochimaru, if it weren't for my block, you might not be able to hold on." Qing Shui smiled indifferently, he didn't think about who would return this kind of kindness.

"By the way, why did you suddenly take in apprentices?"

"It's just a love for talents."

"I see...... "Qing Shui also seemed to laugh.

"Just as I exhorted April-kun to accept the Uchiha's imp apprenticeship, in fact, I have learned something from my two apprentices recently."

Megumi on the side looked confused, and Teacher Orochimaru was also learning from her?

What to learn?

"Hehe......" Shimizu chuckled.

“…… April-kun may have some misunderstandings about me. Orochimaru said suddenly.

"Maybe." Qing Shui was noncommittal, "But time will tell." ”

"Yes, only time is eternal...... "Orochimaru seemed to mutter.

Eternity!

Oh, yes...... The other party has already begun to pursue eternal life......

So the Great Snake Pill has actually always been the Great Snake Pill, just because no clear water touches his core interests......

So now the other party's attitude is really good......

As for those conflicts of interest, he shouldn't be able to encounter them for the time being...... Right?!

After all, the two not only traded "happily" many times and helped each other until this time of life and death together.

But...... Qing Shui was still a little unbelievable, what could an existence of Orochimaru's level learn from the two little ghosts?

Are you sure it's not for the "eyes"?

So he confirmed: "What can I really learn?" ”

"Geniuses often have very extreme traits and perceptions."

"When you don't know where the future lies, look at how those gifted beings are moving forward, and maybe you can get some inspiration."

"Yes...... Shimizu felt that what Orochimaru said seemed to have some sense.

Maybe he can learn something from "stopping the water in an instant" as well?

Or what did you learn from Megumi?

After all...... After the threshold of immortal magic was restricted to death, his higher-level path ...... There are no more.

Since the "quantity" can no longer be violently improved, it can only improve the "quality".

Therefore, the next way for his development is to move forward in the direction of "quality", that is, to make up for shortcomings, such as illusions, and then improve and strengthen his water and thunder and earth escape.

In this way, as long as he persists, his strength can still increase slowly.

"The teacher is here." Orochimaru said suddenly.

Qing Shui followed Orochimaru's gaze, and sure enough, there was a middle-aged man leading a large group of Konoha ninjas in this direction.

And the middle-aged ninja in the middle who is the leader is the third generation Hokage.
