Konoha's journey to find eternal life

The eternal setting sun renders the earth, half with red makeup, half with bleakness.

Under the setting sun, the giant rats prayed devoutly.

Kinoshita also imitated their appearance, standing outside the green chakra group, clasped his hands, closed his eyes and prayed sincerely.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor, God...

I beg you to bless Fudiwan and restore it to its original state!

Time flows quietly.

After a long time.

"Master Patriarch, you can't..."

A tiny voice came from Fudiwan's mouth.

Perhaps because it is used to human language, what it spits out in Mili is also human words.

"Fudiwan, you're awake!"

The wooden clone was delighted to find that Fudiwan was awake, and he really wanted to rush up, but because Duncaowan was still being treated, he could only call outside the chakra group.

"I can't... I can't..."

Fudiwan ignored the call of the savior, and kept mumbling.

In its weak voice, it is not difficult to hear a trace of despair, fear, and sadness.

why not?

The shield grass pill is saving you, why not let it save you?

The wooden clone fell into crazy joy, he didn't realize the meaning of Fu Diwan's words.

"You are the future of Shushen Mountain, and I am already in my dying years..."

Duncao Wan said softly, as kindly as ever.

"Patriarch, you can't..."

Fudimaru seemed to want to struggle to get up, but its four paws were struggling to move, but they couldn't use any strength.

"Is this the shield grass pill?"

The wooden avatar finally heard something was wrong, staring at his eyes, looking for an answer in perplexity.

Suddenly recalling the previous scene, the scene where Fudimaru fell in front of him.

He clearly witnessed the death of Fudiwan.

In the miraculous scene just now, he thought that Fudiwan was only seriously injured, and he didn't really die.

but.

The image of Grandma Chiyo rescuing Gaara came to mind.

Only then did the wooden avatar realize that he was wrong.

Big mistake!

Duncao Wan is using its life to save Fu Di Wan.

As for why it is similar to Chiyo Grandma's technique of bringing the dead back to life, Ryoichi doesn't know, but everything that is happening right now is developing in that direction.

"Don't be sad." Duncao Wan smiled softly.

The mouse's smile is actually very weird and not beautiful at all.

Ke Liang had an inexplicable illusion that it was an angel's smile.

"The rat people in the rat god mountain usually die in their 44s, but I am [-] years old this year. I can be regarded as the oldest guy in the rat clan, so you don't have to be sad."

"Being able to sacrifice for the next generation is my best destination..."

The chakra group maintained, and the shield grass pill continued to appease everyone.

The giant rats around were full of tears.

But they didn't make a single sound, and they were still chanting ancient prayers.

Ryoichi didn't know what to say, he just felt his heart was blocked, and opened his small mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.

"No" "No" "No"...

In the air, only Fudi Wan's weak voice remained, shouting non-stop.

"Fudiwan, after today, you will be the new patriarch of Shushen Mountain!"

Duncaowan suddenly raised the volume, and solemnly instructed Fudiwan.

At the same time, it is also announcing to all the rat people that Fudiwan is the new patriarch!

"Fudiwan, you have to remember! The Shushen Mountain has a total of 240 steps. During the normal growth period of the rat cane, it can raise a maximum of 920 rat people. Right now, there are a total of [-] rat people in the Shushen Mountain. Four thousand nine hundred and twenty seven, before the savior grows up, you must not allow this number to increase. When necessary, you must learn to give up. You must be ruthless! Let those old bones who can no longer dedicate to the Mouse God Mountain, Walk up to their Guan Rong's altar..."

Duncao Wan continued to exhort.

That was also its last word.

"Can't……"

Fudiwan didn't answer, in the past it dared not disobey the patriarch's orders, but today it pretended not to hear.

Duncao Wan didn't blame Fudi Wan for being ignorant.

"In the past, I was always worried that I would hand over the Rat Clan to your hands. You would not be able to lead the Rat Clan to continue to multiply. But now, you have the awareness to sacrifice for the Rat God Mountain. You have my approval, and I I can finally trust the future of the Rat Clan into your hands..."

"Remember, you will be the leader of the Rat Clan from now on! Before all the warriors of the Rat Clan are sacrificed, you can no longer take risks with your own life. At the same time, you must start cultivating the future of the next Rat Clan!"

Duncao Wan's tone became serious, and there was a sternness in his voice that had never been seen before.

"Cao Sheng Wan!"

"Patriarch, I am here."

"From today onwards, you will be the savior's personal bodyguard, replacing Fuchimaru's work."

"Yes."

Cao Shengwan solemnly agreed.

On weekdays, it would be very happy to receive such an honorable job.

But today, apart from perseverance, there is no trace of joy in its eyes.

"All the people of the Rat Clan listen to the order, and will obey Fudiwan's order in the future!"

"squeak"

"squeak"

……

All the mice responded with a "squeak" sound like a mournful cry.

After giving the instructions, Duncaowan finally stopped talking, and the burden on it suddenly relaxed.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but at that moment, Ryoichi felt that Dunso Maru seemed many years younger.

A few rat whiskers are no longer as hard as they used to be, and they sway gently with the wind blowing...

It seems that it thinks of running in the sunset when it was a child, that is its lost youth, that is the easy life it misses.

The patriarch of the Rat Clan is too tired.

He was thinking about the future of the Rat Clan all the time.

Every decision, every crisis.

Every time it selects the rat people for sacrifice, it is the one who suffers the most.

From now on, it will finally no longer have to bear any heavy burdens.

There is no need to choose old bones that are no longer useful to Shushenshan among its familiar faces.

sunset.

There is never a rising hope here.

"Duncao Wan, believe me, just give me a drop of your blood, and when I grow up, I will definitely bring you back..."

The wooden avatar spoke.

He saw the real will of fire in Shushen Mountain!

The will of fire without any personal factors.

Si Jin's words came to mind: "Duncao Wan, it always eats the roots of food, and I heard its stomach growl several times. It's funny, it is actually the patriarch of the rat tribe."

Kinoshita Ryoichi wants to resurrect Dunsomaru!

"Master Savior, I believe in you! But there is no need..."

"why?"

"I'm already old enough to leave, so why come back and cause trouble for the Rat Clan?"

"But……"

"The Rat God Mountain is only 240 steps in size and can only support [-] rat people. Giving new life to the future is the most correct choice."

"But the outside world is huge, and the universe is endless..."

Ryoichi tries to convince Dunsomaru that it won't help if it doesn't want to be resurrected.

"In the outside world, there are creatures from the outside world. If we occupy their living place, what should they do?"

Duncao Maru asked soulfully, Ryoichi was stunned.

Yes, the universe is endless, but the possible world for creatures to live in is very small.

From ancient times to the present, every kind of life has been fighting for territory and for a larger living territory of the ethnic group.

But shouldn't life be selfish?

"Duncao Wan is tired. If there is another life, I don't want to be the patriarch anymore."

"What if I let you have endless lives? There will always be a perfect solution, right?"
