Konoha's Trench Jie Ninja

"patter—"

One morning a few days later, it was raining lightly in Konoha.

In front of the cemetery behind Konoha, a young man knelt down quietly in front of a tombstone. The rain kept sliding down the side of his face, but he seemed to be unaware, just looking at the tombstone in front of him quietly. , thinking about something in a trance.

Suddenly, a hand and an umbrella appeared beside the boy.

"Orochimaru, go back."

Feng Ye sighed softly.

He could probably imagine how big a blow Orochimaru had been. Perhaps Orochimaru would be used to life and death in the future and would be strong-willed, but now he was just an ordinary child. Faced with the tragedy of his parents dying in battle, he did not Other kids don't do much better.

After standing quietly for a moment, Fengye advised again: "Orochimaru, go back."

Facing Fengye's advice, Orochimaru remained unmoved and just continued to think about something quietly.

After a long silence, Orochimaru asked a question.

"Why do people die?"

"this problem..."

After Feng Ye was silent for a moment, he gently shook his head: "I may not be able to answer this question for you. Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Everyone cannot avoid it. Even if there is no such accident, it will still happen in the end... ."

"Is it really inevitable?"

"this..."

Sure enough, Orochimaru has already begun to think about the possibility of immortality...

"The answer to this question may need to be found by Orochimaru yourself. In fact, I have thought about similar questions before, but gave up."

"Oh?"

"At present, I think what we need most is strength..."

"strength..."

"Well, if you have the power, you can at least ensure that you don't die in the war, and you can also protect your companions from harm. You can even go one step further and maintain peace in the human ninja world and prevent disputes like the first generation."

Looking at Orochimaru's slightly confused eyes, Fengye couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to ask whether all humans will die, I think this question is a bit premature. The turmoil in the ninja world has begun again. I believe this war is just the beginning. In the future, everyone, including you and me, may not have to wait until we have to consider whether we will eventually die of old age or something. The most intuitive thing is the threat of life and death on the battlefield. Before that, we need to What I am thinking about is how to gain power first..."

"Is that so..."

"Well, in the future, you may have enough time to explore the mysteries of human life, but before that, you should ensure your own strength. Without strength, no matter how many ideas you have, you may not have the chance to take action."

Feng Ye had no intention of stopping Orochimaru's exploration of life and death from the beginning to the end. In fact, Feng Ye didn't have thoughts about eternal life in his heart. Human life is too short. If possible, Who wouldn’t want to live longer?

But as Feng Ye said, for now, what they need is strength. They really don't have time and energy to waste on research on the exploration of the mysteries of life, so he must give Orochimaru a little warning.

After they all have enough strength, it will not be too late to conduct relevant research. At that time, Orochimaru does not even need to say anything, Feng Ye will sponsor him unconditionally. As long as he guarantees not to attack people in the village, the third generation should still be able to tolerate it. Maybe Orochimaru...

In other words, as long as he uses some tricks, Sandai will have to tolerate him. If it were another Kage, it might be very troublesome, but Sandai has too many weaknesses...

Quietly standing in the rain with Orochimaru, Orochimaru asked some questions from time to time, including some strange questions and even discussions on the philosophy of life, and Kaede Ye also kept giving his own answers.

In fact, Fengye's so-called answers were not substantive answers at all. Most of them were just following Orochimaru's words and saying words that were not nutritious, but this was probably enough.

Fengye understood that people like Orochimaru had their own opinions and often did not need many answers from others. What he needed now was probably companionship, nothing more.

After talking for a long time, Feng Ye suddenly thought of something, and Wei Wei glanced in a direction behind him with his peripheral vision.

"Jiraiya has been here early. It can be seen that he cares about you very much. Although he usually likes to cause trouble for you, I feel that you should be considered one of his few... friends?"

"That rascal..."

Following the direction pointed by Fengye, Orochimaru naturally glanced at Jiraiya, whose hiding ability was not outstanding. In fact, if he hadn't been in a sad mood and had no intention to explore the surroundings, with Jiraiya's hiding ability, he would have been there long ago. It was time to be discovered by Orochimaru.

The corner of his mouth suddenly curved slightly, and Orochimaru said disdainfully: "Oh, idiot..."

Orochimaru said and stood up.

"Let's go, I'm fine..."

Finally turning around and taking a look at his parents' tombstones, Orochimaru's steps began to become firmer.

"And...thank you..."

Orochimaru's last words were almost inaudible. If Fengye hadn't had excellent hearing, he might not have been able to hear his words of thanks.

Soon, the two saw Jiraiya who had no time to escape.

"Well, uh, what a coincidence, Fengye, you are here too, hey, the idiot Orochimaru is also here..."

"idiot..."

"Orochimaru, do you want to fight?"

"You think it's a fight between us, doesn't it mean that I hit you unilaterally?"

"I, I, I, I..."

"Okay, stop arguing!" Feng Ye took action and held down the two people.

"Go to my house. My mother made fish soup. It's very suitable for eating on rainy days. It can warm you up..."

Quietly looking at Orochimaru who seemed to have returned to normal, Fengye actually understood that Orochimaru seemed to be fine, which was probably just an appearance. He was such a person who was good at hiding his emotions. As for when he could really let go, or maybe No one knows whether he will let go in the end...

Suddenly, Feng Ye thought of something.

"Orochimaru, do you have any relatives in your family?"

"there is none left..."

"Then move to my house in a few days. Living alone will be too lonely. Jiraiya, please come too. I remember you also live alone. It may be a little crowded these days. , but after the Third Generation approves our new residence in a while, it should be much more spacious."

"I have no objection..." In fact, Orochimaru also wanted to escape from that empty and sad home.

"I don't have any objection, but why do you need to bring this annoying guy Orochimaru with you?"

Jiraiya snorted with an unhappy face.

"Suddenly I want to beat you again..."

"It's not clear who will beat whom!"

Silently looking at Jiraiya and Orochimaru who would quarrel as long as they stayed together, Fengye shook his head helplessly.

It seems that life in the future is destined to not be boring...
