Chapter 213 The Old Man and the Tombstone

It is also difficult for Jiraiya to accept the reality that Yahiko is dead, let alone the cruel meaning revealed behind Yahiko's death.

"Jiraiya, do you know? How much Yahiko believed in you. He worked hard to follow your ideas and find a way to save the world, and thus created the Akatsuki organization with non-violence as the core idea. I hope everyone can understand each other. , if it can be realized, isn't it the beautiful world that you have been striving for since then?

This road is full of thorns, but Yahiko never flinched, overcame the thorns and thorns all the way, overcame many difficulties and advanced, and then somehow, he became the one you Konoha must kill, which is ridiculous!

A person from Konoha found a way for Yahiko to pursue his ideals, but another person from Konoha directly ended him on this path. It really is fate is in the hands of you Konoha! "

Ji Lai also had heartaches, as if his heart was being tightened, he immediately asked with concern.

"What happened to Konan and Nagato?"

"Don't worry, you Konoha are not capable of killing them too!"

Jiraiya also heaved a sigh of relief, but his heartache did not diminish at all. He saw the Sakaki tree that seemed to be controlled by anger and killing intent, and he couldn't help comforting him.

"Sakaki, I'm sorry about Yahiko, but you can't be dominated by hatred, maybe all of this..."

slap~
Jiraiya's words were interrupted, not by verbal language, but by body language.

I saw Sakaki flying forward, punching Jiraiya's face fiercely, and directly punching it in. He flew upside down more than ten meters away, and after landing, he suddenly coughed up several pills. The bloody broken teeth showed the ferocity of this punch!

"Are you trying to persuade me to be tolerant like before? This punch is to tell you that you are calling me tolerant from the standpoint of Konoha, and you are so shameless. Are you trying to win the eyes of the perpetrator? If not, then please stand up On Yahiko's standpoint, avenge your disciple!"

Jilai was also silent, Sakaki understood his attitude, and he laughed, very violently.

"I understand! The right path you mentioned, Jiraiya, is just such a dead end, a path that leads to despair and leads into the abyss! But Jiraiya, you are still alive and kicking, why didn't Danzo take you Was the culprit killed too?
I know, this is because you never do it yourself, but rely on the method of finding the so-called child of destiny, and encourage others to do it for you, regardless of death or injury, the one who survives and reaches the other shore is the so-called child of destiny, and you are also To be able to reach the other shore and enjoy the glory is worthy of being an old Jianghu, Zilaiye, your abacus is really authentic! "

With the anger in his heart, Sakaki barked wantonly, but Zirai couldn't utter a single rebuttal. He stood up tremblingly, most of his energy and energy were gone, with a painful expression on his face.

"It's so boring. Now you and I can easily finish you with just a few punches! Where did your will to catch or kill me just now go? Hmph!"

Sakaki snorted coldly, turned around, and made a gesture to leave.

"Well, forget it, it's meaningless to fight you like this. Even if you kill you on the spot, you probably think that I deliberately used those words to hit you before I won..."

After walking for dozens of meters, there was no movement behind him, Sakaki suddenly turned around for some reason, and said with inexplicable meaning.

"Jiraiya, kindly remind you, don't appear in front of Nagato! Nagato used to believe in you so much, but now he probably wants to kill you so much!"

Even tens of meters away, I could feel Sakaki's complete indifference, and Jiraiya's heart ached even more.

Jiraiya just watched Sakaki leave like this, and the thought of absolutely catching Sakaki disappeared when he came, even if he couldn't imagine what kind of terrible things would happen if such Sakaki left?How bad is it for Konoha?
However, Jiraiya really couldn't muster up the strength to stop Sakaki.

For a long time, the sky rained.

Ji Lai also 'enjoyed' the feeling of being a drowned chicken. It took him a while to move, and the direction of his movement was not Konoha. He just walked step by step, as if he was carrying a heavy pain like a mountain, and walked towards the rain with difficulty. country.

Since the battle triggered by Danzo, the Akatsuki organization has become famous throughout the Rain Country. Gradually, more and more people know about the Akatsuki organization, and some even know where the Akatsuki organization is located. People can talk about the philosophy of Xiao organization.

But what's ridiculous and sad is that the Xiao organization itself can no longer hold on to this idea that has been widely spread and talked about!
Based on this, Jiraiya came to the Land of Rain, and it was not difficult to find out where the Akatsuki organization was located.

Ji Lai also trekked all the way, finally arrived at the destination, and then he saw the somewhat familiar environment in front of him, and his heart ached even more.

The residence of the Xiao organization was the place where he met the four disciples for the first time. Even after so many years, he can still recall all the pictures frame by frame at that time.

Yahiko's strength, Konan's smile when giving flowers back, Nagato shrinking like a small animal, and the Sakaki tree...

Yahiko and the others were able to place Akatsuki's organization here, so one can imagine how much they love him...

Jilai also forcibly held back the tears, but he couldn't deceive his heart, the pain became more and more intense.

Xiao Organization's resident is now abandoned, and there is no human habitation around, and Zilai also walked all the way into the cave. Only from the traces left inside, one can imagine how prosperous it was at that time.

Ji Lai also wandered around in the cave unconsciously, silently watching the traces of the members of the Little Little Group becoming hot pots, as if he was looking for something, and seemed to just fall into the memory of seeing things and thinking about people.

However, Zilai also unconsciously walked to the entrance of another cave in the resident. The cave is very small and needs to bend down to go out. It is about five meters above the ground. The former members of Akatsuki usually do not go out from here.

After that, there was a quiet back mountain, among the dense trees, there were dense stone monuments standing faintly.

Jiraiya focused his eyes, jumped down from the entrance of the cave, entered the dense forest of the back mountain, walked all the way, and soon came to a hill with little ups and downs, he saw it.

The stone monument is not an ordinary stone monument, but a tombstone. The tombstones stand on top of the hills, surrounded by flowers and plants, but they are not messy. It seems that someone has often pruned them.

Jiraiya's eyes glanced over the tombstones engraved with strange names, and finally landed on a tombstone at the top of the hill. This tombstone is slightly larger than the other tombstones, and the tombstones are like stars. Monthly.

——Yahiko's Tomb

Jilai also saw the writing on the tombstone, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, his mind went blank, so that even an ordinary old man walked by his side, he didn't notice.

"This is a cemetery, what are you doing here?"

Jilai also heard the old man's voice, and then he woke up from the pain, and his eyes fell on the old man.

I saw that the old man looked thin and old, and his back was bent by the hardships of life, and the wrinkles on his face were as many as the hardships he had suffered all his life!

"My name is Ziraiya, and my disciple is among them. I...I want to come to express condolences for him! Old man, who are you?"

"I can't even remember my name. As for what I do, I'm waiting here to die. Before I die, I look at the tombstones for those who died first!

The people buried here include refugees like me, children with dreams, and even the child who supported Akatsuki and us! "

Jilai also knew that the child the old man was referring to was Yahiko, and it seemed that the old man hadn’t met anyone he could talk to for a long time, and the ramblings continued.

"This child shouldn't die! I saw with my own eyes that there are more and more tombstones here, and everyone died. In the end, this child also came here. He worked so hard. He shouldn't have come here. If it weren't for him , there should be more tombstones here... No, people like us don't even have a tombstone in this world, even if we die..."

Jilai also listened silently, listening, the old man's rambling words had already made him outline a complete image of Yahiko in his heart.

He has always been extremely proud of having such a disciple, but such a disciple cannot survive.

"Old man, do you know how Yahiko died?"

The old man shook his head slowly.

"I don't know, I just heard that people from Konoha colluded with people from Yuyin, thinking that the Akatsuki organization shouldn't exist in the world, and then everything happened. Several children didn't come back, and Yahiko died shortly after he came back. up!

Me, I don't know what damn reason Akatsuki and this child have. All I know is that Konoha, who wants them dead, is very close to me, but I want to escape from it far away.There is also Yuyin, I hope it can be very close to me, but it has never been so far away!Only Xiao, only this child, took the initiative to approach me..."

The old man really didn't know, because he hadn't personally experienced that battle, but his words had already explained everything. Even if the eyes on his head didn't really see it, the eyes of his heart had seen everything.

Jiraiya's heart was trembling, as if he also saw all the tragedies with his heart.

"What about the rest, those who survived?"

"Those people, after the young man Yahiko died, there was a big fight between two young men, but the one who should go left, the one who should go left..."

For some reason, the vague images of these two young people materialized in his mind as Nagato and Sakaki...

"Old man, it's inconvenient to live in this wilderness, maybe I can..."

Perhaps Jiraiya wanted to atone for his sins, or maybe he just wanted to prove that Konoha ninjas are not all that bad, but his words were interrupted by the old man shaking his head.

"It's good to live here. The old man has been wandering all his life, so I feel that this is the most reassuring place for me. I feel at ease staying beside them alive, and even more at ease when I die next to their tombstones!
It's rare for someone to listen to me talking so much, I'm tired too, it's time to go back to rest... By the way, tell me the name of your disciple, I can also take care of him from time to time for you! "

Jiraiya's Adam's apple squirmed, and the name came to his lips, but he couldn't open his mouth. How could he tell the old man that Yahiko was killed by Konoha ninja, and his teacher was actually a Konoha ninja.

The old man looked at him deeply, and Zilai suddenly felt that the old man's eyes that had experienced vicissitudes of life seemed to have seen through everything.

"Old man, I'm sorry, I'm here to express my apology to Konoha!"

Jiraiya's apology was not accepted, or this apology meant nothing to the old man.

"You don't need to apologize to me. If you want to apologize, then apologize to those young people with dreams! To the old man, what you Konoha or other things are doing is very common. This is how the world is like. I didn't do anything beyond the morals of the world, so there is nothing to apologize for.

On the contrary, these young people from Xiao insist on going against the morals of the world. Old people like me can't understand this, and it's useless at all. I don't know why they took me in, and I really don't know Knowing how I survived, they instead... oh..."

The old man let out a long sigh, and the leaving figure became more and more stooped, and behind him was Jiraiya who lowered his head deeply.

Suddenly, Jilai, who lowered his head, also saw the green Konoha uniform on his body, and a feeling of burning, extremely burning came from the uniform.

He has always been proud of wearing this uniform that represents Konoha, reminding him all the time that he is a glorious Konoha ninja.

But at this moment, he has the urge to tear off the Konoha uniform that represents glory...

　Thank you Zixiao and Sky for your tip.
