Uchiha's Hokage

Chapter 119 The Tree of Souls
"Xuejian, lead him in." My wife said to Xuejian.

"Yeah." Xue Jian nodded.

…………

The two passed through a dark passage, and when they saw the light again, they had arrived at a new "room".

There are some small saplings inserted on the stone wall, and the eyes shine on the saplings through the gap on the top.

"This is the cemetery of our family." Xue Jian introduced, dispelling the doubt in Jia's eyes.

"Is this forest?" A asked while walking towards it with Xue Jian.

"We planted trees instead of tombstones," Xue Jian explained.

A said nothing, and looked around curiously while walking.

"I heard that the soul will reside in the tree, bless us." Xue Jian said to Jia.

"Soul?" A looked at Xue Jian and asked.

This is the first time A has heard of this view.

"Yes, the soul of the dead." Xue Jian replied.

The two continued to walk, and Xue Jian continued: "Our physical body's ability to change is not perfect, and we cannot completely control the smoke. Sometimes it will involuntarily turn into smoke, and sometimes it will not change back, and it will just disappear."

"The lifespan of our family is not long. You haven't seen any old people?" Xue Jian asked.

Then he looked at a small tree beside him.

"Yes." A nodded.

He really didn't see the old man. From the time he came in to the present, the oldest one he saw was my wife.

Xue Jian touched the tree beside him and said, "Many people died, so we planted many trees."

"Many people died..." A murmured.

He thought of those experimental subjects who were in the same batch as him, and many of them also died.

"But!" Xue Jian turned to look at A, and then said: "Master Dashewan found us, and he used a magical drug to stabilize our energy."

"But he said that the power of the medicine is not perfect, and there are still many things to study." Xue Jian said, then turned and continued to walk inside.

A quickly followed.

Xuejian continued: "So, Tianzang was also taken away by Orochimaru and became an experimental subject."

"Experimental subject..." A thought inwardly.

The voice of "Gulu...Gulu" came from his mind, and he once again recalled the days when he was locked in the nutrition cabin and struggled.

"Because of our abilities, the younger the child, the better he will perform, so he needs children as experimental subjects." Xue Jian said.

"But, you are the only child left." A said.

"Oshemaru-sama said, he won't die." Xuejian explained.

Then he continued: "Even if I am sent, I will definitely be able to see everyone and Tianzang."

"I see everyone..." A secretly said in his heart.

The voice of "Gulu...Gulu..." came again, and the scene in the laboratory became clearer in his mind.

"Everyone……"

However, as soon as Jia fell into memory, he was interrupted by Xuejian's exclamation.

"What is this? What's going on here?" Xue Jian exclaimed while looking around.

"What's wrong?" A asked.

"Something's wrong... Who planted this? Those children... Tianzang is still alive!" Xue Jian shouted with a slightly crying voice.

"Huh?" A looked at the new sapling in surprise.

Xue Jian reached out to pull out the sapling, and uprooted the sapling from the ground.

"I don't need this thing!" Xue Jian cried out, throwing the sapling in her hand to the ground forcefully.

"This one too!"

"and this!"

A stared closely at the girl who was pulling up the saplings.

Memories flooded my mind again.

It was still the dark laboratory, and the bright nutrition cabins in my mind went out one by one, and finally there were only two or three left.

"Eh... woo... um... woo..." Xue Jian, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, pulled Jia back from his memory.

Jia squatted down, picked up the saplings thrown on the ground, erected them, and buried the saplings in the soil again with his hands behind him.

Xuejian stopped crying, turned her head to look at Jia who had just buried one sapling behind her and was about to bury the second sapling.

Xue Jian stared blankly at A, then at the sapling, and finally ran to the side of the tunnel, beckoned to A, motioning for A to come over.

A finishes burying the second sapling and walks towards Xuejian.

At this time, Xuejian was already lying on the pipe, as if she was feeling something.

A stopped behind Xuejian.

Xuejian moved her head away from the pipe, and said to A: "Let's go."

Then the two climbed into the pipe, climbed up, and then they were able to walk upright.

"Here?" A asked.

Xuejian didn't answer, but said: "Look at the cave roof and the walls are covered with many roots, and there are such hollows inside, just like a maze."

Then Xuejian walked to a pipe, looked inside, and said to A behind her: "The front will be narrow, but there is no problem for the time being."

"Where are we going?" A asked.

"My and Tianzang's secret base." Xue Jian turned to look at Jia and replied.

Then he climbed in on his own.

Armor followed closely behind.

The two sat on the cliff, Xuejian stared at the gap above that let the sunlight shine in and said: "That gap leads to the outside world."

"I used to come here with him to listen to the voice, and then talk about things outside." Xue Jian said with a look of longing.

A asked suspiciously: "Then why don't you go out and have a look?"

"Because of the wind?" Xuejian replied.

"Wind?" A asked suspiciously.

"If we become smoke outside, and there happens to be a wind blowing at that time, we will die... That's why we live in an underground tree hole where there is no wind."

"Listening to the sounds of the outside world like this used to be my greatest pleasure, because I can imagine with Tianzang what kind of sound it is."

"What are the people outside doing!" Xue Jian said.

A thought of that dark laboratory again, and the nutrition warehouses in front of him were wiped out one after another, leaving only the boy in front of him who looked similar to him.

Looking at the boy in front of him, A clearly remembered that time, and he smiled.

At this time, A's mentality has changed, a big change...

"Ah?" Xuejian seemed to hear something, and put her ear on the

"It's not good, some outsiders have entered the village again..."

"Is it Master Orochimaru and the person brought by Orochimaru?"

"It is still uncertain whether it is Orochimaru."

"Well..." I thought about it too much, and then said: "If it is Master Oshemaru, welcome him in, if it is not Master Oshemaru, but plots against him, kill them!"

A group of people stared at the only entrance.

There were even tears on several people's faces.

"Everyone get ready, everyone takes their places." Wu Tai gave an order, and a group of people dispersed in an instant.

A group of people walked in slowly at the entrance, gradually revealing their true colors, it was...
