Naruto Scourge

If the only way is death, there is nothing to be afraid of. (preface)

A few days later, an arm from Iwanin Village was placed on Sarutobi's desk, and news of death came one after another.

Perhaps it was because the preservation was done well, the arm did not look like any signs of corruption, but the skin was very pale, without any blood, and the whole arm only showed a little pale skin, because other parts were stained with blood , in sharp contrast to the pale skin that was exposed.

A short knife was tightly held by this arm, and the fingers seemed to have been soaked in blood for a long time, turning red. The blade of the short knife, like the fingers, was stained with deep blood, only the handle Still as dark as black jade.

This short knife is called Lei Ya, it is Ye Zi's saber, now it is held by a broken arm, just placed in front of it.

Sarutobi squeezed the armrest of the chair with both hands, his eyes fixed on the broken arm, his brows were tightly furrowed, and a ditch was squeezed out between his forehead, he just stared at the broken arm, without saying a word for a long time, he pinched the armrest Between the fingers, the blood color faded due to too much force.

He was suppressing his anger, and he didn't know who to direct this anger at.

Maybe he needs an explanation, but no one can give him this explanation.

Ye Zi, as a root member, was sent out by Danzo to perform a mission, and now, Yan Ninja Village sent this severed arm to Konoha.

Therefore, Ye Zi died.

What, just died like this?

Even Sarutobi, who was used to seeing death, couldn't help sighing after forcibly suppressing the surging emotions.

He didn't know what kind of mission Danzang sent Ye Zi to perform. Now, he regretted it, but it was too late.

If he had been tougher at the beginning, Ye Zi would not have been in a dilemma, and he would have been blocked by Danzang when he escaped from the village, thereby intimidating Ye Zi to join Gen.

If he had firmly protected Ye Zi back then, then Ye Zi would not have joined the roots in the darkness, but would have followed him as an Anbu.

In this way, it will not be like a task machine, performing so many tasks for Konoha and root.

Yuan Fei knew that Ye Zi's mission history in the root contained many records of Ye Zi wandering on the edge of life and death. Now, this information will be the last one.

"Oshemaru, you once said that this child will become a towering tree in Konoha in the future. You are right, but I am old after all. He should have a better destination and path, but because of my concession ..." Sarutomo slowly let go of the hand holding the armrest, and sighed softly, thinking of the future arrangement, he felt even more guilty.

The status of a hero may be the best blessing for the dead.

What achievements and contributions must be made to be worthy of a hero?

This is very general, but as long as Ye Zi's mission resume is published, no one can refute Ye Zi's qualifications as a hero.

However, this task resume can only be sealed in a scroll, sunk into the darkness without seeing the light of day.

Because, he is a member of the root, wandering in the dark, unknown, although he has made a lot of contributions to Konoha, people can't see it, because the root has always been under the ground, not those who were Sunlit leaves.

He is Ye Zi, and he is a disciple of Orochimaru, but from the moment he joined Gen, he spent more time with the darkness, so he couldn't have the same positive reputation as Minato Namikaze who was active in the sun.

Ye Zi is Konoha's hero, there is no doubt about it, but after his death, not only could he not leave his name on the memorial monument, he could not even clarify the rumors in the village.

How unfair this is to Ye Zi!

A strong self-mockery appeared on Yuan Fei's face, he suddenly slapped the table vigorously, his expression looked so tired, like an old man who was about to grow old.

He is old after all.

Therefore, the idea of ​​wanting to give way is so strong at this moment.

"sorry."

Sarutobi lowered his head slightly, and the bamboo hat with the characters of fire on it concealed his tired expression.

At this time, the door suddenly opened.

The door opened without knocking.

The person who came in was Orochimaru, who walked to the desk expressionlessly.

Hearing the movement, Sarutobi slowly raised his head and looked at Orochimaru. The tired and helpless expression before turned into nothingness at this moment.

"Shouldn't you do something?" Dashewan's expression was cold, and his tone was also very cold. There was no wave in those cold snake eyes, and no emotion could be seen.

Sarutobi's old face trembled slightly, and he remained silent.

"You're getting old." Dashemaru's calm snake eyes finally showed anger, and said coldly, "Why don't you abdicate, I'll do what you can't do."

In the past, Orochimaru longed for the position of Hokage, but after experiencing so many twists and turns, the pure original intention no longer exists. If he still wants to be Hokage, it is only for some convenience. Ye's thoughts had already disappeared in an unknown corner.

Now, he wants to become Hokage more urgently than ever, because he wants to clear up the malicious rumors for Ye Zi, at least in the end, this is what he can do and what he wants to do most.

Sarutobi didn't stay silent anymore, he raised his head and looked at Orochimaru, the student he was most proud of in the past, who gradually grew up in his expectation, was crowned with the title of Sannin, and made so much hard work for Konoha. Konoha is a real mainstay.

However, Orochimaru is not suitable for Hokage.

There are many people suitable for this seat, Kato Dan, Namikaze Minato, Tsunade, Jiraiya, but there is no Orochimaru, because Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo are the same kind of people.

"There is someone more suitable for this seat." Yuan Fei's tone was a little tired, "Ye Zi, I am the one who is sorry for him."

"Hehe." Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh, and a thick sarcasm appeared on his pale face, "This is my teacher, time is such a wonderful thing."

The words full of deep meaning, at this moment, reflect a corner of Orochimaru's values.

Human life is so fragile.

A person's life is so short.

Time controls a person's life, and in the process, many things can be obliterated.

If you want to fight against time, you can only live forever...

After he finished speaking, he turned and left directly.

Ye Zi's death was sudden and sad news.When Sarutobi sent someone to tell him, he couldn't accept it. In that cold and empty house, there was an extra figure more than ten years ago. After these years, he got used to the existence of this figure. Now, it is the same. left.

He was silent at home for a while, then quickly accepted the fact, and then came to Sarutobi's office.

Ye Zi died.

As a member of the root, Orochimaru knows very well that the contributions made by Ye Zi over the years will sink into the darkness along with death.

This kind of thing doesn't matter at all, the only thing that needs to be solved is that ridiculous rumor.To clarify this rumor, even in his capacity, there is no way, only Hokage's voice is the fundamental solution.

He came for it and came away disappointed.

Disappointed with the teacher I once admired, disappointed with the seat of Hokage, disappointed with the village of Konoha...

Sarutobi looked at the open office door and remained silent.
