Chapter 168 New News

"Is that so..." Jonouchi Ichimura rubbed his chin and thought about what Kurosaki Ichigo said. He didn't find any loopholes, so he asked, "By the way, you entered the Arctic Icefield. Aren’t you looking for clues about the Gray Stone? Did you find anything?”

Kurosaki Ichigo was silent for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "There is still something gained. After the big explosion that destroyed the Gaotian Temple, I was lucky enough to find the record of Nariko in the ruins. The document containing family secrets is finally worth the trip."

A village in the city nodded: "That's good..."

Then he stopped talking, Kurosaki Ichigo also didn't speak as if he was thinking about something, and the whole room fell silent for a while.

"Then what are your plans next?" After a long time, a villager in the city asked again as if he was uncomfortable with this silent atmosphere.

"Let's wait for Naliko to wake up first," Kurosaki Ichigo said without thinking. "We'll leave here after she recovers for a few days."

The village in the city was stunned. He did not expect that Kurosaki Ichigo would leave so soon and couldn't help asking: "So soon? Don't you want to stay here for some time?"

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and refused: "Forget it, the purpose of our coming here is to find clues about the Grayl Stone. Now that the clues have been found, there is no reason to stay here anymore."

"Is that so...that's fine," Ichimura Nouchi nodded, "It just so happens that the Ninja World War is basically over now, so it's relatively safe."

Kurosaki Ichigo's heart moved: "What?"

"What's wrong?" Ichimura Jonouchi was a little surprised by Kurosaki Ichigo's reaction.

"Did you just say that the Great Ninja War was over?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, "What's going on? I remember that when I entered the Iron Kingdom, the five major kingdoms were still at war? How did you know this news?"

A village in the city nodded in understanding: "Although our Iron Country claims to be permanently neutral and does not participate in the battles of the Ninja World, we will still collect information about the Ninja World. As a respect for our Hanren Kenshin Ryu, the Iron Country The country’s general Musashi sends the collected information once a month, and I happened to see this news a few days ago.”

As Jonouchi Ichimura hesitantly tapped his fingers on the table a few times, Kurosaki Ichigo was keenly aware that something was wrong with him and asked: "What exactly happened? Why did the Ninja World War end suddenly?"

"I know you came to the Kingdom of Iron as a Konoha ninja last time," Ichimura in the city paused and then said, "Although you didn't say it this time, I can see that you seem to What happened to your village?"

Kurosaki Ichigo raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by that?"

"I just can't figure out your reaction after hearing the news." Jonouchi Ichimura said with a shrug.

The shrouded attitude of Ichimura in the castle made Kurosaki Ichigo a little impatient: "Just say it quickly, why are you so worried about my reaction?"

"Okay," Jonouchi Ichimura nodded, "Just some time ago, the first Raikage of Kumogakure Village passed away. Konoha's second Hokage Senju Tobirama personally led the team in order to sign a contract with the second Raikage. I went to Kumogakure Village, but there was a coup in Kumogakure Village, and the Second Raikage died on the spot. The Second Hokage also suffered serious injuries in order to cover his subordinates' escape and died not long after."

Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo's expression changed drastically, and he stared at the Jonouchi Village in front of him with wide eyes, as if he didn't believe what he said: "What? You...you mean Senju Tobirama... .He...is dead?" As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and murmured: "This...how is this possible..."

Speaking of which, Kurosaki Ichigo, the so-called 'young leader of the Uchiha clan', actually has no sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan, so he doesn't have much ill feelings toward Senju Tobirama, who has been targeting the Uchiha clan. After breaking away from the restrictions of the clan, he became more supportive of some of Senju Tobirama's policies.

It is precisely because of this that when he heard the news of Senju Tobirama's death, even Kurosaki Ichigo, who had already decided to leave this world, couldn't help but be stunned.

Jonouchi Ichimura looked at Kurosaki Ichigo's unbelievable look, and couldn't help but smile: "I don't have to lie to you."

Speaking of this, Ichimura deliberately paused before continuing: "If you don't believe it, you can go and verify it yourself. By the way, the newly appointed Third Hokage has held a new Five Shadow Conference, preparing for peace talks to end this war. The ninja war has lasted for several years."

Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo immediately said: "What! The third Hokage? Who is it? And the new Five Shadows Conference? Where is it? When did it happen!"

As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo lifted the cup covering himself and prepared to stand up and get out of bed. However, as he moved, he realized that he had not moved for a long time. He could no longer use his legs and almost fell to the ground. With his quick eyesight and hands, he quickly held onto the table next to him before barely steadying himself and sitting on the bed.

Jonouchi Ichimura waved his hand towards Kurosaki Ichigo: "Don't be so anxious, I'll tell you one by one," Jonouchi Ichimura turned his head to recall and then said, "The first one, Senju Tobirama appointed him before his death. His disciple Hiruzen Sarutobi became the third Hokage."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen?" Kurosaki Ichigo frowned and tried to remember. Thanks to his former leader, Shimura Danzo, Kurosaki Ichigo was no stranger to this name. Plus, he was in ANBU. I also worked with Hiruzen Sarutobi several times when I was a kid, so I have some understanding of him.

In Kurosaki Ichigo's impression, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a person with the magnanimity and demeanor of Senju Hashirama, and also has the maturity and stability of Senju Tobirama. He is indeed a good candidate for Hokage.

Moreover, Uchiha Mirror once told Ichigo Kurosaki that Hiruzen Sarutobi is a strong competitor for the next Hokage. However, compared with the previous two Hokages, Hiruzen Sarutobi's personal strength may still have some problems.

Seeing that Kurosaki Ichigo didn't speak, Ichimura in the city continued: "As for the new Five Shadow Conference, it happened during this period. If you go to the previous Five Shadow Conference venue now, you can see the five major nations participating. It’s the ninjas who are negotiating this peace.”

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly raised his head and looked at Jonouchi Ichimura, as if he wanted to see if he had deceived him. What responded to his sharp gaze was Jonouchi Ichimura's calm look.

Facing Kurosaki Ichigo's questioning eyes, Jonouchi Ichimura smiled at him: "You want to go and take a look, right? But in what capacity do you want to go? Although I don't know what happened to you before. thing, but I think no matter what, it will be difficult for you to face your former companions, right?"

Ichigo Kurosaki opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He was right. He had already defected from the village in order to find a way to return to his original world, so why should he care about Konoha so much? What about the current situation? But if he didn't take a look, it would feel like something was missing in his heart.

Of course Ichigo Kurosaki's inner struggle could be seen by Ichimura Jonouchi, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only sigh and said: "Do you still remember the first time I saw you? ?”

The words of Jonouchi Ichigo brought Kurosaki Ichigo back to his senses. He looked at him blankly, thought for a while and then said: "That... seems to have happened almost ten years ago, right? What's wrong?"

"Yes, almost ten years have passed in a blink of an eye." A look of nostalgia appeared on Ichimura's face in the city, "I remember that you didn't seem to have changed much between then and now."

When the other party mentioned this, the depression in Kurosaki Ichigo's heart faded a lot, and he said in a deep voice: "Isn't it the same for you? You don't seem to have aged at all. And you seem to have never explained to me why you suddenly took action in the first place. Attack me."

Jonouchi Ichimura didn't care about Kurosaki Ichigo's attitude, but smiled and shook his head: "Do you still remember what I said to you at that time?"

"One sentence?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked up at the roof, but did not recall what Ichimura once said to him. After all, it was nearly ten years ago. How could he remember it so clearly, "What words?" ?I have already forgotten."

"You are nostalgic!" Ichimura in the city suddenly became serious and said to Kurosaki Ichigo word by word.

Kurosaki Ichigo was obviously stunned by the sudden change of attitude of the village in the city. He stuttered and said, "What...what do you mean?"

"Aren't you wondering why I attacked you at that time?" A village in the city explained for him, "At that time, I was in the state of comprehending the 'God Realm', and my perception was extremely powerful. In my perception, your body There seems to be an extremely powerful and evil force, so I can't help but test you."

"Is that so? But what did you mean by what you just said?" Kurosaki Ichigo continued to ask.

Ichimura in the city looked directly at Kurosaki Ichigo and said: "In the state of 'God Realm', not only did my perception ability greatly improve, but I could also vaguely detect people's emotions. Your emotion at that time was 'nostalgia', but But I don't know what you are missing.

"But after I saw you again some time ago, I found that you were much less emotional. It can be seen that you have made decisions over the years and let go of the things you are nostalgic for. The feeling you gave me just now was different. It seems that you are nostalgic again. I don’t know what you have abandoned, so I can only warn you: ‘Don’t miss the things you have discarded anymore’.”

"No more... no longer... love..." What Ichimura said in the castle was like an enlightenment, which made Ichigo Kurosaki feel like he was suddenly awakened, and he kept repeating this sentence.

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's state, Jonouchi Ichimura helplessly shook his head, then stood up and said: "If you think what I said makes sense, make a decision quickly. Okay, I'll go see you first." That companion has gone." As he spoke, Ichimura walked to the door, opened it and walked out, leaving only Kurosaki Ichigo alone in the room.

Kurosaki Ichigo lay on the bed and looked at the wooden roof. Companions and relatives from the two worlds flashed before his eyes one by one.
