Wu did what he promised, and after coming to power, he quickly cleaned up all the uneasy factors caused by Shi He's sudden death, so that those jackals who were about to move were in pain, and silently withdrew their minions.

However, with the death of the Thousand Hands Pillar, the rapid increase in the population of various countries and the increasing contradictions in the distribution of resources at home and abroad, the war completely shattered the promise he had built for a short time.

The scale of this war exceeded everyone's expectations, and no one would have imagined that this war would be so brutal that the kage and leaders of the major ninja villages would be forced to appear on the battlefield.

"Why don't you let me go?!"

Tsuchikage Office,Onoki is a rare and non-existent dispute。

"No why, obey orders."

Wushuang propped up the table on his elbows, crossed his fingers, looked at the thunderous Ohnogi with a calm face, and said lightly.

"Am I not your bodyguard?! How can there be a reason for the earth shadow to go to the battlefield and the guards stay in the village! ”

Ohnogi gritted his teeth, it was enough to be a coward once, and he would definitely not retreat this time.

After listening to Onoki's words, he stared at Onoki until he felt uncomfortable looking at Ohnoki.

There was a look of disappointment on Wu's face, and he shook his head slightly: "Ohnoki, your growth... It's a pity~"

He raised his head, stared at Onoki's stunned expression, and spoke, "Now, as Tsuchikage, I announce that your status as a guard is lifted, go home." ”

Onoki walked out of the Tsuchikage's office in despair, he didn't know how he got home, but the shame he would never forget.

This is the first time in the history of Iwa Shinobi that such a thing has been lifted.

For people who value honor and dignity very seriously, Onoki can't accept that he is treated like this, especially since the person who gives the order is still his master.

He locked himself in his home and did not see him off even when he was not on the march.

——

"Onoki"

Hearing the sound of loess outside the door, Onoki, who was lying on the bed, turned over and interrupted impatiently: "Not here!" ”

He didn't know how much time had passed in the outer world, and at first there were still many people who came to him in the hope that he could regain his strength.

But later, there were fewer and fewer people, and only Loess was left to come to his door every day, bring him food, talk to him about the situation outside, and silently accept all the negative emotions of Onoki like a garbage can.

But this time, hearing Ohnogi's words, the voice outside paused, and there was silence for a moment, only to hear a click, and the wooden door was kicked to pieces.

Sawdust swept through Ohnogi's cheeks, and he was so frightened that Onoki got up from the bed, and before he could figure out the situation, he felt a pain in the left side of his face, and his whole body leaned back uncontrollably, and then his right cheek was hit again.

Onoki was stunned, and he didn't react until Loess threw the third punch, caught the opponent's unceremonious fist, and said angrily: "What are you doing-"

Onoki met the silent tears in his eyes, and in an instant, all anger vanished, and a strong sense of unease enveloped his heart.

"What's going on?!"

He pinched Loess's shoulders hard and shook them desperately.

The look in the loess gave him a sense of familiarity, but it was a little long ago, and he forgot who he had seen it from.

Hearing Onoki's voice, Loess's lips that had been biting finally opened: "Tokage-sama, Tokage-sama, he died in battle!" ”

As if he had exhausted all his strength when he said this, Loess fell to his knees and muttered, "Yanyin Village is over, everything is over"

Ohno stayed in place, and after a long time, he suddenly rushed out of the house like crazy.

I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and today happens to be a good day with sunny weather, and Onoki can't help but cover his hands and squint his eyes because of the sudden daylight.

It's another good day.

Ohnoki finally remembered who Loess's eyes looked like, it was Uncle Mu Shi, and when he saw himself at the gate that day, he also had that emotion in his eyes.

Sadness, restlessness, hesitation.

Their sky is falling.

But Uncle Mu Shi won't worry anymore this time, he died under the sword of the misty shinobi soon after the war began, and he himself gave him flowers.

Well, the same as Grandpa's.

I don't know if it was because he had been at home for too long, or because of the surge of emotions, Onoki felt as if his feet were not obeying, and he suddenly stumbled and fell after running a few steps.

He hurriedly put his hand on the dry and lifeless ground, as if he was running and crawling, he didn't know how he got to the Tsuchikage Mansion, gasping for breath, looking up at the plaque above his head.

This place is really bad.

Ohnoki's grandfather's face flashed in his mind, and he gritted his teeth and rushed in.

The guard saw the 'beggar' with dirty hair and dusty clothes in front of him, and stepped forward and just wanted to scold, but when he saw the face of the person who came, he was stunned, and at this moment, he was directly knocked away by Onoki.

Bang——!

Onoki followed the flow of people and rushed into the ancestral hall in the face of everyone's exclamations.

There were many people standing in the ancestral hall, but his gaze was directly locked on the peaceful figure that seemed to be asleep.

At this moment, he wanted to escape from here, as if he had left here, and without seeing this scene, everything could be repeated.

Although he wanted to escape all this, he felt the panic and anxiety in his eyes fall on him, and at this moment, he seemed to understand the master's mood at that time, he clenched his palms hard, tucked his nails tightly into his palms, and walked to the sideless step by step.

The image of Wu at this time was not good-looking, the bandages that wrapped around his body were like strips of rags hanging from his body, and the exposed skin was full of burn marks and jaggy scars visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, now he won't hurt anymore.

"I'm sorry, really. I'm sorry. ”

Onoki's voice trembled, undetectable.

He couldn't remember what he was apologizing for, or remorseful about everything.

Tears dripped silently on Wu's body, and Onoki looked at the master who had closed his eyes forever, his body was rickety, and he slowly knelt beside him.

"I'm sorry master, this is the last time, I swear with my life that I will never cry again. So. Let me cry this time. ”

I don't know when only Onoki and Tsuchikage were left in the ancestral hall, and no one knew what Onoki said to Tsuchikage that day, but when Onoki came out with Tsuchikage's twin knives on his back, everyone outside the door felt as if he had changed.

All the opposition forces that were resurrected because of Wu's death were defeated by him with a crushing attitude, even in the face of the fog ninja and cloud ninja, which were also the five major ninja villages, they also had a clear upper hand.

No one could have imagined that this kid would burst out with such a powerful strength, as if he had a sudden epiphany, and became a powerhouse that could not be ignored in this continent, and the crumbling Iwa Shinobu relied on Onoki's almost miraculous performance like a stubborn rock to survive again.

"Onoki, this is the letter that Tsuchikage-sama left for you."

As Onoki returns to the village after quelling the last rebellion, an old white-haired ninja arrives at Tsuchikage's office, hands the envelope to Onoki, and leaves silently.

He has followed Shihe since the establishment of Iwain Village, not only witnessing the development of Iwain Village from scratch, but also watching Onoki change from a baby waiting to be fed to the future of the third generation.

Onoki pulled out the envelope, and on it was the familiar and long-lost handwriting of the master:

Ohnoki, if you read this letter, then I should be gone.

I'm sorry to see you one last time in this form.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and Kiristin is a difficult opponent, I don't know what the situation I leave you will be like, I hope it doesn't cause you trouble.

However, if this letter can reach you, it means that your performance as a Tsuchikage must be very good.

As a teacher, I can teach you the ninjutsu a long time ago, and all that remains is some life insights.

Remember the time we went to Konoha?

I've seen so many talented ninjas, and they're so unbearable in the face of Madara Uchiha.

And you, Onoki, you are never cowardly, you are far stronger than you imagined, and I knew from that day that you would lead Iwa Shinobu to glory in the future.

I wish I could have sheltered you a little more until I saw you lead the people of Iwakuin Village to a life like Konoha in person.

Finally, I will tell you secretly, I don't believe in the bullshit of the will of the stone that Lord Shihe said, I only believe that the future will be in my own hands.

Now, I give you this sentence, don't be bound by your predecessors, and stick to your ideas to move forward.

Onoki, the two things I'm most proud of in my life are serving as Shihe-sama's bodyguard, and the other being your teacher.

Onoki looked at the slightly scribbled handwriting of the last sentence, and his fingers pinching the letter couldn't help but tremble.

His eyes were filled with tears at the sight of the familiar handwriting, but this time, not a drop fell.

Onoki raised his head and continued to take deep breaths to calm his heart, and after a long time, he suddenly grinned and said softly: "Master, isn't the future also a kind of stone will in your own hands?" ”

Time seemed to press the accelerator button at this moment, Onoki stood in place, watching the new Iwakuin Village rise from the ground, the life of the villagers of Iwakuin Village was getting better and better, the war was still going on, and under his own leadership, Iwain Shinobu made a great name.

The picture is briefly frozen, he led his troops to be ambushed by the sand ninja, and Loess chose to sacrifice himself to help him lead away the pursuers.

He married and had children, and in honor of his friend and only friend, he named his child Loess.

World war ii

World War III

That explosion

The cute appearance of the little black soil

Onoki looked at the back of his withered hand and suddenly grinned.

He raised his head, as if he saw his grandfather, master, loess, and countless former partners and relatives waving to him.

After some time, Onoki's gaze refocused, looking at Hoshino Mu in front of him, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and he slowly lunged and stretched out his fists.

Hoshino Mu looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, pursed his lips, and stepped forward.

"Hoshino Maki!"

Luo Sha used the gold dust to block a thorn of earth, and when he saw Hoshino Mu walking towards the other party like this, he couldn't help but remind.

Hoshino Mu waved his hand, walked slowly to Onogi, and stood in place with a solemn face.

The rest of the people seemed to realize something, and the two warring sides also tacitly agreed to cease fire, and all the Iwa Shinobi were all pale, lowered their hands, and bowed their heads silently.

After a few seconds, Hoshino Maki reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles on Onoki's clothes, helping him tidy up his messy beard, and finally, raising his hand, pausing slightly, gently closing his battered eyes.

The sharp eyes closed, and Onoki's whole person seemed to become a little quieter, but the corners of his raised mouth were still showing off his personality.

The old guy was mocking himself at the end.

This short man of only 1.3 meters has always been the tallest mountain in the land of earth, and he is a strong man who cannot be ignored in the ninja world, even if he can conquer Iwakuin Village, don't want to make Tsuchikage bow his head.

Although Hoshino Maki was the final winner, there was no joy on his face.

The sound of fighting in the distance gradually stopped, and most of the rock ninjas who were pinched by the family did not have the courage to burn jade, and more and more ninjas wearing sand ninja guards gathered here, and Luo Sha came to Hoshino Mu under the support of the sand gold cloud, looking at Ohnogi who closed his eyes and still fists forward, and was speechless for a while.

The people who know you best are often your enemies.

Although the two sides have a grudge and blood feud, he also has to admit that Onoki is strong and has excellent leadership skills.

After all, this is all confirmed with the blood and tears of the sand ninja, and it can't be faked.

"Thick, let's bury it according to the customs of Shayin Village."

Hoshino Mu originally wanted to bury the other party, but after thinking about it, he still asked this ninja who had paid for Iwakuin Village all his life to leave in the way he was most accustomed to.

Raksha glanced at Hoshino in some surprise.

According to what he knows about Hoshino Mu, this guy shouldn't let go of the only remaining blood inheritance in this world, and he can't wait to slice and study.

But seeing Hoshino Maki's face with a little loss and regret, he swallowed back the words of admonition.

It is undeniable that studying Onoki's corpse is a profit-maximizing decision, and it is also a decision that most people think Hoshino will make.

But. After all, it is people who make decisions, and the factors that affect decisions are not only interests, but also emotions.

Hoshino Mu's 'woman's kindness' at this time made him feel a little more flesh and blood.

This also warmed the heart of Luo Sha, who has always been a self-proclaimed salary.

While prioritizing interests in everything is good for the development of the village as a whole, it is disturbing for those who work under him.

No one wants to be the object of sacrifice one day, and this time Hoshino Mu's unintentional 'irrationality' has become a plus in the eyes of his subordinates.

"Be kind to the people of Iwain Village."

Hoshino Mu said in a deep voice.

This feeling of winning and not winning made him feel a little stunned.

He understood what Onoki meant.

Onoki will not let Hoshino Maki's hands be stained with his blood, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of subduing Iwa Shinobi and governing this land in the future, and similarly, he will not be able to kill on a large scale.

This is actually a one-sided transaction, or a request, and if he does not come according to his request, there is nothing he can do.

But Onoki knew him too well as an enemy, and the little old man knew very well what he wanted.

Hoshino Maki took a deep breath and looked up at the glow in the distance.

With such good weather, it is perfect as the beginning of a new chapter for Iwa Shinobi.

"Farewell, Onoki."

(End of chapter)
