Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

The war that has swept through the entire ninja continent has been burning for several years. This war of unprecedented scale has brought heavy disasters to almost all countries. I wonder if Senju Hashirama would have seen such a situation when he was in the Pure Land. Will you feel something about the dark words of Uchiha Madara’s village?

Fortunately, this protracted war has now come to an end. The four major countries of fire, water, wind, and earth, as the main participating countries, have long been unable to sustain themselves. Only the Kingdom of Thunder, which has always maintained a semi-neutral state, still retains considerable strength.

At the cusp of the storm, Ai, the first generation Raikage who collaborated with the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder to create Cloud Hidden Village, passed away after being on the bed for more than a year.

This is nothing less than a bolt from the blue for Konoha, which has always maintained a good relationship with Kumogakure, because the second-generation Raikage, who inherited the name of the first-generation Raikage Ai, is a martial arts faction that has always opposed the alliance with Konoha. .

And once Kumogakure Village falls to the side of the Three Kingdoms of Earth, Water, and Wind under the leadership of the Second Raikage, it will be a terrible blow to Konoha. After all, Konoha has relied on the assistance of Kumogakure Village in recent years to survive. He managed to survive the attack of the three major ninja villages.

In order for Konoha to win the final victory in this war, the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama ignored the opposition of the advisory group and decided to accept the invitation of the second generation Raikage Ai and go to Kumogakure Village to sign a peace agreement with him.

The entire ninja world looked sideways at this negotiation that could change the direction of the normal war. The ninjas of Iwagakure and Kirigakure also abandoned their hatred and invariably attacked the peace negotiation team led by Senju Tobirama.

However, despite the difficult journey, after nearly a month, Senju Tobirama successfully arrived at Kumogakure Village. What greeted him was not the ninjutsu and shurikens that the consultants had guessed, but the second-generation Raikage Ai. of warm reception.

Faced with this situation, the entire peace negotiation team, including Senju Tobirama, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, although they had thought clearly before setting off, it must be admitted that this trip still carries extremely high risks.

Qianju Tobijian had a good chat with Ai Xiang, and the two agreed on a time to sign a peace agreement outside Yunyin Village. Seeing that the peace talks were about to end amicably, problems arose in Yunyin Village.

As the elders of the village, the two brothers, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, once narrowly escaped death at the hands of Kyuubi, but were insulted by Uchiha Madara, and they hated Konoha from then on.

After the death of the first Raikage, the Golden Horn brothers, who controlled an elite force, seized the power of the second Raikage. How could they not feel resentful when they saw that the second Raikage had formed an alliance with Konoha to deal with them?

So on the day when Konoha formed an alliance with Kumogakure, the Golden Horn brothers led their elite troops into the meeting venue and killed the second-generation Raikage who was caught off guard.

Seeing that something was not going well, Senju Tobirama knew that there was a rebellion within Kumogakure Village, so he immediately led his guards to escape. However, Jin Jiao Gin Jian did not want to let go of Konoha's enemies, so he led his troops in pursuit.

In order to protect the future of the village, Senju Tobirama left the young ninjas as his assistants. After designating the candidate for the next Hokage, he alone, with a seriously injured body, faced the pursuing Golden Horn troops, and fought Unfortunately died.

Within a day, two shadows died one after another, and they were killed by someone. Naturally, such news could not be concealed, and it spread widely within a few days.

The eyes of the entire ninja world are once again and more anxiously focused on the two villages of Konoha and Kumogakure, because everyone knows that the direction of the ninja world in the next few years or even ten years will be determined by the reactions of these two villages. decided.

However, in the Iron Kingdom, which maintains absolute neutrality, no one wants to care about what these ninjas think is too big a deal. After all, the fierce flames of war cannot burn their heads.

This was especially true for Hirohiro Sanada, who lived in the far north ice field. She didn't even have any clear idea of ​​the battle she had heard about.

But despite being affected by the war, Hirohiro Sanada is still a little troubled, because recently, her mind has always been involuntarily thinking of Kurosaki Ichigo, the boy who successfully defeated his master.

This was not because Ichigo Kurosaki's charm was too high, which led to Hirohiro Sanada's ambiguous feelings, but because the battle between him and Ichimura Jonouchi left such a deep impression on this girl.

Kurosaki Ichigo's battle seemed to open a door to a new world for Sanada Hirohiro, giving her a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

In the past, she would have been resentful because a village in the city favored Kuroda Bingwei, but now she no longer cares because she has seen a more preferred path of swordsmanship.

Hirohiro Sanada had the urge to learn sword skills from Ichigo Kurosaki. However, before she could speak, Ichigo Kurosaki had already taken Nariko into the Arctic Icefield, which had long been regarded as a forbidden area. She had no choice but to Secretly decided to ask to study with Kurosaki Ichigo after he came out.

But judging from the time, the supplies Ichigo Kurosaki brought when he set out should have been exhausted, but they have not been seen coming out until now.In addition, the village in the city has recently stopped being partial and has begun to teach Hirohiro Sanada the true meaning of the Cold Blade Kenshin-ryu. Therefore, with each passing day, Hirohiro Sanada's heart becomes more entangled.

Today was no exception. After completing today's training mission, Sanada Hirohiro did not train himself as usual, but came to the north slope of Shirokyo Mountain.

There is a small observatory made of stones. The time of construction and the builder are unknown. Ever since Ichigo Kurosaki entered the Far North Icefield more than a month ago, Hirohiro Sanada likes to sit here and look out into the depths of the icefield. He wanted to find Ichigo Kurosaki, but he always came back disappointed.

"Bohao, you are here again to be in a daze." A young man's voice came to Hirohiro Sanada's ears. When she turned around, a tall and handsome young man appeared in front of her. He was the companion who grew up with her. Kurodabei.

Sanada Hirohiro turned around and said, "Why did you come here? Master, do you want to see me for something?"

Kuroda Hei walked over to Sanada Hirohiro and sat down, "No, I'm just wondering why you always come here to be in a daze recently, so I came here to ask you."

Sanada Hirohiro frowned, looked at Kuroda Bei up and down, and after seeing that his expression was not abnormal at all, he said, "Nothing, I just thought that Kurosaki-kun who defeated the master has not come back, so I came to take a look. "

"Is that so?" Hearing Sanada Hirohiro mention Kurosaki Ichigo, Kuroda's eyes lit up, looking fascinated, "Speaking of which, Kurosaki-kun is really powerful. His sword skills are really amazing."

Sanada Hirohiro looked at Kuroda Hei and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Unlike himself, who had already seen the cruelty and precociousness of the world, Kuroda Hei, who had lived in Mōkyōzan since he could remember, had a very simple mind. This was also Even though she knew that the whole village in the city was partial to Kuroda Hei, she still couldn't hate him.

"Sometimes I really envy you." Hirohiro Sanada sighed.

Kuroda Hei was confused by Sanada Hirohiro's sudden sigh, "Well, what do you mean? Why did you sigh suddenly?"

"It's nothing," Hirohiro Sanada did not answer, but stood up and said, "Let's go back. It seems that Kurosaki-kun will not come back today."

"Oh." Kuroda Heiye nodded and stood up. Just when he was about to leave with Sanada Hirohiro, he turned his head unintentionally and noticed that something seemed wrong on the ice field in the distance, " Huh"

Hearing Kuroda Bei's voice, Sanada Hirohiro paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kuroda Bei pointed at the vast snowy field in the distance, "Look, is there something there?"

Sanada Hirohiro turned around suddenly and squinted her eyes to follow Kuroda Bei's fingers. Thanks to her good eyesight, she could barely see a small black dot that was slowly moving towards her.

"It's Kurosaki-kun and Nariko," Sanada Hirohiro blurted out without thinking, because these two people are the only ones who have entered the Arctic ice field in so many years.

Sanada Hirohiro's voice was a little excited, which made Kuroda Hei a little confused, but he immediately said, "Should we go over and take a look?"

"Go and inform Master, I'll go over and take a look." Sanada Hirohiro said casually, and then regardless of Kuroda Hei's reaction, he jumped off the platform and ran towards the interior of the arctic ice field.

At this time, she didn't care about the Hanren Kenshin Ryu's rule not to enter the far north ice field, and rushed all the way towards Kurosaki Ichigo.

Kuroda Biewei glanced at Sanada Hirohiro's back, and then hurried non-stop in the direction of the village inside the mountaintop castle.

Finally, after running for more than ten minutes, Hirohiro Sanada approached the visitor, and only then did she see him clearly through the falling snow.

The person who came was Kurosaki Ichigo, who had been in the Arctic ice field for nearly two months and was almost considered dead by Hirohiro Sanada. At this time, he was holding a small body curled up in a ball in his arms and carrying his own on his back. The weapons and the cotton-padded jacket on his body were obviously worn out and could no longer withstand the strong winds on the ice field.

Seeing this, Sanada Hirohiro hurriedly took two steps forward. Kurosaki Ichigo also noticed that a figure appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but tense up his muscles and adopt a vigilant posture.

However, after losing a large amount of supplies and taking Nariko through the far north ice field, Kurosaki Ichigo was at the end of his strength and was walking completely on his own instinct. At this time, he staggered and half-knelt down with so much force. on the ground.

Sanada Hirohiro was startled and quickly came to Kurosaki Ichigo. He found that his lips were now blue and purple from the cold and he was trembling constantly. So he helped him and revealed his identity, "Don't worry, Kurosaki-kun, I It’s Hirohiro Sanada”

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes were a little straight, and he didn't know where he was looking. After hearing Hirohiro Sanada's voice announcing his home, he thought for a while before remembering her identity. After confirming that the other party was a friend and not an enemy, his heartstrings that had been tense finally relaxed. Come down.

Just when he relaxed like this, a heavy feeling of fatigue came over him like a wave, and Kurosaki Ichigo tilted his head and passed out.
