30, pitch black

Hyuga clan land.

Hinata walked out of the living room dressed in black.

In the courtyard are Ayano, Hinata, Ayari, Homon, Natsu, Tokuma, Tetsu, and a group of ninjas from the Hyuga family.

And the truth, all dressed in black, gathered here.

"The clan is much more deserted." Hinazu said.

The people here are almost all members of the Hyuga family, except for Taegyu and a few servants.

The ancient family of Konoha has now declined to this state along with Konoha.

Except for Hinata, the situation of the other families of Konoha is also similar.

"It's going to be lively again in the future." Ayano said.

The group of people was led by Hizo, and Hiza and Ayano followed both sides towards the main gate of the clan.

It is really the position behind him with the juniors in the clan.

On the way, he heard Rizu calmly ask, "Did anything happen in the clan before we came back?" ”

Ayano responded softly: "It's not a big deal, everyone in the clan is praying for you, I hope you can come back safely." ”

Hinata looked as usual, staring ahead and not answering.

Hinata bowed his head and said, "That's fine, I caught some traitorous ninja yesterday, and I don't know what Hokage-sama will do." ”

Ayano was surprised: "Traitor? ”

Hinata said lightly: "It's that before the end of the war with Iwa Shinobi, some guys who didn't trust the village fled the village, and now that the war is over, they want to come back secretly." ”

"That's right...... These people are indeed hateful. ”

Rizu sneered: "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, what do you think of Rizai?" ”

Hinata looked ahead, and bowed slightly in response, "That's what Hizo-sama said." ”

I really felt that Xia next to me was breathing a little faster.

It's the third day of the return of the frontline ninjas, and the atmosphere in Konoha today is a little solemn.

When the Hyuga clan arrived at the memorial monument, there were already many people waiting here, all dressed in black.

Among them, several of the more eye-catching ones all gathered together.

Shinya finally saw the other two of the three shinobi, Jiraiya's arms were still hanging in front of him with gauze, and his injuries had not yet healed.

And the blonde woman standing between Jiraiya and Orochimaru should be Tsunade.

It's a pity that she has her back to the real and can't see the front.

Next to Sannin is Bo Feng Shuimen and a woman with long red hair, tall and beautiful, undoubtedly Uzumaki Jiu Sinai.

Ayari next to him suddenly patted him: "What are you looking at?" ”

Really said: "Three forbearances." ”

Ayari sighed, "Tsunade-sama has also returned to the village." ”

Zhen took his eyes off the people and looked away, and saw some people with black hair and black eyes gathered together.

The man at the head had a resolute complexion, with obvious tear troughs on his face, and to the left and right was a dignified and beautiful woman with long black hair and a young boy.

Is there only so many people left in the Uchiha......

I really thought to myself that the situation was not much better than Hinata.

After waiting for a while, they heard someone say that Hokage-sama was coming.

Everyone took the initiative to give way to the four people who were walking slowly, the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, and the two Hokage advisors Mito Menyan, Koharu Zhuan, and Shimura Danzo.

The resting place of the Konoha heroes, surrounded by a large group of tombstones, has undergone an emergency expansion and added more than 2,000 locations.

Standing in the second column of the crowd, his eyes searched for a long time on the memorial monument, but there were too many names on it, and it was so dense that it was dazzling, and his position was not too close, and he didn't find Iroha's name.

The three generations of Hokage said the eulogy, and some people in the crowd couldn't help but sob, and most of the people who came here were related to the deceased.

The memorial ceremony lasted for nearly an hour, but unfortunately it did not rain on this cloudy day.

It was not until the end of the ceremony that the crowd slowly dispersed.

Shin didn't leave with Hinata, and he saw Orochimaru still standing alone in the group of tombstones.

"Is Orochimaru-sama feeling guilty?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru glanced to the side and saw that the person who came was real, and there were no outsiders in this area except them.

He sneered: "There is no point in lamenting for the dead, and if death has meaning, it only exists when it can be exploited." ”

"The deaths of these people have paved the way for me, and I will naturally give back to them and lead Konoha to become stronger."

It is ironic that such absurd and high-sounding words came out of his mouth.

Shin asked rhetorically, "Orochimaru-sama thinks that this way he can sit back and relax and ascend to the position of Hokage?" ”

Orochimaru couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly when he heard this: "What do you mean?" ”

At present, he is known as the savior of Konoha, and his reputation in the village is unparalleled for a while, even if Watergate is revered, Orochimaru does not believe that the other party can step on his own position at this time.

Even if Mr. Sarufei is still bent on supporting the water gate, there is still a daimyo behind Orochimaru.

Shin said: "Why did Konoha lose so badly in the battle with Iwa Shinobi, has Orochimaru-sama forgotten?" ”

Orochimaru was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked.

"Lord Hokage, before abdicating, will definitely try his best to find out the inner ghost, and then break it into ten thousand pieces, if this matter is not concluded, Konoha will never have peace!"

"Lord Orochimaru, there is a saying that the higher you stand, the worse you fall, you are in the limelight now, and it is inevitable that some people will point the finger at you."

The late autumn wind was a little cold, blowing Orochimaru's clothes and hunting.

The real words gave him a slap in the face, and he thought that everything was ready, and he just had to wait for the crown to be added.

If this matter is exposed, then his fate will undoubtedly be the most miserable.

The tomb group in front of him is the stairway for him to reach the peak, but if he is not careful, it will be the abyss that swallows him!

Orochimaru's mind was full of thoughts, thinking about how to break the game.

He asked, "What should I do?" ”

Zhen said calmly: "Naturally, it is to get rid of the inner ghosts." ”

Orochimaru's eyes moved slightly: "Tell me more." ”

I only listened to the true tone and said slowly: "The inner ghost is the hatred of all the people in Konoha, and it must be killed, and it must be eliminated with the power of thunder, and no one can be given a chance to make a fuss here, and it is better that this inner ghost cannot speak or be involved." ”

"The most important point is that after Orochimaru has done this applauding thing, he must report to the daimyo as soon as possible, and he must make the daimyo happy about it."

Silence.

Orochimaru looked at Zhen with his spare eyes, facing the pair of dark eyes, those eyes were ordinary, but at this moment, it seemed to Orochimaru that there were too many things hidden.

This kid is too good at hiding, and I'm afraid that no one in this world knows his other side except himself.

"Really." Orochimaru said slowly.

"You're tougher than I thought."

"Orochimaru-sama laughed, this kind of thing didn't happen to me, what does it have to do with me."
