Konoha's Destiny Twins

On August 43, Konoha 8, the gray sky was filled with drizzle.

Shimizu was wearing a long black dress and came to the Hero Monument. At this time, there were only a dozen or so people standing here: the first row were Mito Kadeni, Koharu, Akimichi, Shimura Danzo, and the Third Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen, and next to Naruto was Starfire in a wheelchair.

In the second row were Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, as well as the clan leaders of the major Konoha clans such as Senju, Uchiha, Hinata, Hatake, Nara, Aburame, Akimichi, and Yamanaka.

Everyone was uniformly dressed in black long trousers and stood solemnly under the dark sky. This was an unknown funeral.

"How is Shimizu's injury?" the Sandaime Hokage asked kindly.

"Basically recovered. There will be a final checkup tomorrow. If there are no problems, you can go back to the ANBU immediately."

"No hurry, no hurry, let's send Hinata Zeichi and Asakusa Natsue off for the last time." The Sandaime Hokage turned his head and stared ahead.

"Okay." Qingshui followed everyone's gaze and saw the bodies of Zeyi and Xia Zhi lying on two wooden beds on the left and right respectively, surrounded by large white flowers.

"Everyone is here." Xiaochun reminded him when he went to bed.

"Then let's begin." The Sandaime said seriously.

I saw Mito Kadoyan take a few steps forward and said in a deep voice: "The fourth team of the fifth ANBU battalion was ordered to go to the border of the Land of Rain and the Land of Kawakawa to investigate the identity and specific situation of the unknown ninja but found nothing. During the task of the team members On the way back, we were attacked by unknown ninja forces, and we sacrificed two outstanding ANBU ninjas. Now let us mourn for Hinata Zeichi and Asakusa Natsue."

During the short period of mourning, looking around at the silent people, he suddenly felt endless loneliness and two companions had left him forever.

There was an inexplicable sadness in my heart.

"The ceremony is over." Mito Monoyan ordered, "Let's cremate him."

In an instant, the blazing fire swallowed up the white sea of ​​flowers. The fire burned stronger and stronger, blurring his vision and burning away his last hope.

From beginning to end, Qing Shui clenched his fists tightly.

Ever since he joined ANBU, he had never expected to have a happy death one day.

Anbu, the full name of the assassination tactics special force, they are all hunters walking in the dark.

However, the moment the hunter misses, he is just a discarded child.

Just knowing is one thing, but truly agreeing with it from the bottom of your heart is another.

When relatives and friends really leave, and all traces of their existence are easily erased by big shots, how many people can take it calmly, and how many people can face it all with a smile?

Soon, this funeral, unknown to the world, ended hastily and everyone dispersed.

"Shimizu, please come to my office after your physical examination tomorrow." The Sandaime Hokage left with these words.

Qing Shui even forgot to reply.Tsunade walked up to him and patted his shoulder without saying anything else.

Jiraiya hesitated to speak, and finally left with a sigh.

And Orochimaru Shimizu's cold eyes met Orochimaru's golden pupils, and at this moment he finally understood the meaning of what Orochimaru said that morning.

Just in the morning, Orochimaru found him and said that the previously agreed deal could be carried out.Coincidentally, he also felt that his body was fine, so he followed Orochimaru to his laboratory.The expected horrific experiment did not come, Orochimaru really just drew some blood, collected a few of his hair, and threw the Ninjutsu manual of the Second Hokage to him.Such a simple transaction process

"Yi Yijun, my experiment is a long-term process. And I paid you in advance. I hope you can come over at any time when I need it."

"Okay" After confirming that the Ninjutsu Codex of Nidaime Hokage was genuine, Qingshui didn't know what to say. Then he started to guess whether Orochimaru hadn't started experimenting with forbidden jutsu at this time. Everything was just Because he had too many negative impressions of Orochimaru in his previous life, he thought too much before.

In any case, the handbook of the Second Hokage that Orochimaru gave him, although it does not have space ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God, it does have a very complete range of advanced water escape ninjutsu, and the second generation Hokage has a lot of water escape skills. Experience: From the original intention of developing this jutsu, principles to insights, to speculations on the later derivative series of ninjutsu.

This is simply a treasure trove. In fact, this kind of shadow-level figure's concept and experience in developing ninjutsu is what Shimizu needs most.

"April-kun, do you think Konoha is fair to you?" Does Orochimaru mean to test?

"I don't quite understand what Orochimaru-senpai means." Qing Shui said calmly.

"Everything Yuzuki-kun has achieved so far has actually been achieved through his own efforts. Although there is no big family recruiting you, on the surface, because Maruhoshi Kosuke is your teacher, you can also be regarded as one." The power of the Sandaime Hokage faction, but what if one day, you are sacrificed as a bargaining chip?" Orochimaru stared at Shimizu Road with his bright eyes.

"Why did Orochimaru-senpai suddenly tell me this?" Qingshui wondered, what kind of drama was Orochimaru playing?

"I just feel like Konoha has become a bit rotten and has become fragile and greedy."

"There are so many powerful ninjas in Konoha, and one of the three ninjas like you is sitting here. The Sandaime Hokage is in his prime, how can he be so fragile?" Qingshui retorted. Based on his understanding of the plot in his previous life, he deeply understood In the Third Ninja War, the Country of Fire fought against four countries and won all of them. How could such a Konoha be said to be fragile and greedy?

"Decay and corruption start from top to bottom. What supports the big tree of Konoha now is actually the huge root system below. They are absorbing nutrients for Konoha all the time, and they make huge contributions in obscurity. This is not the Sandaime The Hokage can do it." Orochimaru's voice was extremely magnetic, and he finally said, "Yuyuki-kun, I think you will have your own judgment."

The root refers to the root led by Danzo. Orochimaru is saying good things for Danzo. What kind of drama is this?

Qing Shui finally left with doubts. He always felt that Orochimaru would not say these words to him for no reason. It must have a special meaning.But he had no clue, so he could only suppress his curiosity and quickly leave this gloomy laboratory.What he cared more about was the ninjutsu manual in his arms.

A few minutes later, Orochimaru suddenly said to the empty room: "Give these blood samples to Danzo. Also tell him that the seeds have been planted. I have fulfilled my promise, and the rest is up to him. "

That's it

So everyone advised him to recuperate first because they were afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and do something drastic, which would affect his recovery.

In fact, the top management of Konoha has always planned to do this. No more people know the details of the whole thing. Even the funeral only had about a dozen people in attendance.

This matter will probably be sealed forever in the confidential files of Konoha Anbu.

This is ANBU

This is ninja

"Xinghuo, you already knew this." Qingshui's eyes didn't contain much emotion, and he just asked Xinghuo lightly.

"No, I was only informed of the outcome of this matter in the morning." Starfire pushed a wheelchair to Qingshui, "Also, I will no longer be a ninja, and captain, you don't need to call me by my ANBU code name anymore."

"Okay, then Masakazu, what are your plans next?" Qingshui's tone was a little loose. Starfire's real name is Kurokawa Masakazu, and he was born in an ordinary ninja family.

"I haven't thought about maybe opening a small shop. Hokage-sama suggested that I go to a ninja school to be a teacher. Although I really miss my time as a ninja, I think I should say goodbye to the world of ninjas." Starfire's The tone of his voice was indescribably lonely, and the ruthless reality made it worse for a jounin to give up his ninja career of more than 20 years.

"Did the sand ninja Gray Eagle, Arashi Zeichi, and Natsuki die in vain?" Qing Shui asked, also asking himself.

"Hokage-sama said that he would give us an explanation and we should believe him." Masato was trying to convince himself to accept this fact.

Based on Qing Shui's knowledge of the Sandaime Hokage in his previous life, that kind old man who was always cheerful would not have made such a choice.

But then I think of what Orochimaru said that morning

He is not a real novice. How can a man who can stand out among many geniuses and become Hokage be a good person?

Animation is just animation after all. What it shows is just a real world that the author wants you to see. How could there be no entangled interests entangled in it?

If there are enough benefits, personal sacrifice is unacceptable. If necessary, the man can even sacrifice his own life.

Everything is for Konoha

Only this time, it was their turn to be sacrificed. No matter what, Qingshui couldn't accept it, no matter how righteous the reason was.

He has feelings for Konoha, and he is indeed worthy of the nature of Anbu. However, this does not mean that he can accept such a result in his heart.

He became a ninja not to live a miserable life, but because he longed for true freedom.

If I were as strong as the Sannin, I would be stronger, stronger than Kage.

Kurokawa Masakazu took out a photo from his arms and handed it to Qingshui. He said: "Natsuzhi is an orphan, and her belongings were cremated together with this photo. I think it is better for you to keep it."

That was the only photo the four of them took two years ago, not long after Shimizu became the captain of the ANBU.The four of them took off their masks respectively and wore ANBU costumes. Kurokawa Masakazu squatted in the front, gesturing with his hand to make a V sign and smiled stupidly; Hinata Sawa stood on the far left with a smile; Asakusa Natsue stood on the right, Smiling slightly; April Qingshui in the middle looks indifferent, his eyes seem to be looking into the distance through the photo

Qing Shui tightened her arms around the Ninjutsu Manual of the Nidaime Hokage, and the fingers she was holding tight were completely drained of blood.
