Konoha's Destiny Twins

On August 26, Konoha 43, 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 Konoha Senju, Uchiha, Hinata, Hatake, Nara, Aburame, Akimichi, Yamanaka and other Konoha clan leaders.

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!" Qing Shui 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 ANBU Fifth Battalion was ordered to go to the border between the Country of Rain and the Country of Kawakawa to investigate the identity and specific situation of the unknown ninja - but nothing was found. In the group The members were attacked by unknown ninja forces on their way back from the mission, and we sacrificed two outstanding ANBU ninjas. Now let us mourn for Hinata Zeichi and Asakusa Natsue."

'What? ? ! ! ’ Qing Shui’s fists tightened instantly. He didn’t understand why it was like this? ! Don't they deserve to be treated like heroes? ! Are their deaths so unworthy of being known to the world? ! The long minutes made Qingshui suffer. He lowered his head and suppressed the anger in his heart. He wanted to loudly ask all the high-level officials of Konoha present, why? ? ! !

"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 grew stronger and stronger, blurring his vision and burning away his last hope...

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... Qingshui's cold eyes met Orochimaru's golden eyes. 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 Handbook of the Second Hokage was authentic, Qingshui didn't know what to say. Then he began to guess whether Orochimaru had not started the forbidden human jutsu at this time. experiment? ! Is it just because he had too many negative impressions of Orochimaru in his previous life that he thought too much before? ! In any case, although the handbook of the Second Hokage that Orochimaru gave him did not have space ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God,

However, there are a very complete range of advanced water release ninjutsu, and there is also a lot of experience of the second generation Hokage on water release: from the original intention of developing this jutsu, principles to experience, to the conjectures of the later derivative series of ninjutsu. This is a treasure trove! In fact, this kind of shadow-level character's concept and experience in developing ninjutsu is what Shimizu needs most!

"April-kun, do you think Konoha is fair to you?" What does Orochimaru mean? 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's 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 trick 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 there is one of the three ninjas like you sitting in charge, and the Sandaime Hokage is in his prime, how can he be fragile?" Qingshui retorted, based on his understanding of the plot in his previous life, he Knowing that the Land of Fire fought against the four nations in the Third Ninja War and won all of them, how could Konoha be said to be fragile? As for greed...

"Decay and corruption all start from the top down... 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 are making huge contributions in obscurity... ...This is not something that the Sandaime Hokage can do." Orochimaru's voice was extremely magnetic, and he finally said, "Yuki-kun, I think you will have your own judgment."

'root? Refers to the roots led by Danzo? Orochimaru is putting in a good word 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. "

Original! ! Come! ! like! ! this! !

So everyone advised him to recuperate first! ! It's because he's afraid that he will lose control of his emotions and do some drastic actions that will affect his recovery from his injuries! ! 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 was only attended by about a dozen people... This matter will probably be sealed in Konoha ANBU forever. In confidential files...

"Xinghuo, you already knew that?" 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, captain, and you don't need to call me by my ANBU code name anymore. Already..."

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

"I haven't thought about it yet... Maybe I will open a small shop... Lord Hokage suggested that I go to a ninja school to be a teacher. Although I am very reluctant to let go of my time as a ninja... But I think I should say something to the world of ninjas. Goodbye." Starfire's tone was indescribably lonely, and the ruthless reality made a jounin give up his ninja career of more than 20 years - life would be worse than death.

"Sand Ninja... Gray Eagle and Arashi... Zeichi and Natsuki, did they die in vain..." Qing Shui asked, also asking himself.

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

Based on Qingshui's understanding of the Sandaime Hokage in his previous life, the kind old man who was always cheerful would not have made such a choice... but then he thought of what Orochimaru said in the morning... He is not a real novice. How could the man who stood out from all the geniuses and became Hokage be a good person? ! Animation is just animation after all, and what it shows is only what the author wants you to see... How could a real world not be entangled in conflicts of interest? ! If there are enough benefits, where is personal sacrifice unacceptable? ! If necessary, that man would even sacrifice his own life.

Everything is for Konoha!

Only this time, it was their turn to be sacrificed... Qingshui could not accept this kind of thing, no matter how righteous the reason was. He has feelings for Konoha, but that doesn't mean he can tolerate the consequences of such treatment. He became a ninja not to live a miserable life, but because he longed for true freedom!

'Strength...if I had the strength of the Sannin...no, I want to be stronger, stronger than the 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... I think it is better for you to keep this photo."

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 and smiled silly; 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...
