Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Konoha, Hokage Rock.

Orochimaru sat on the edge of the rock and enjoyed the breeze.

Behind him, a female figure slowly walked towards him.

"Lord Orochimaru."

"Ah."

Orochimaru didn't turn around, he just responded.

"May I have your name."

"Kaki, Mitarashi Kaki."

"Where's the child?"

"red beans."

There was a brief silence in the air.

"Where's your husband?"

"He passed away on the front line of the Wind Country..."

Halfway through the season, the wind has become a little cooler.

Orochimaru raised his head and looked at the relatively clear sky, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.

"When she's a little older, bring her to see me."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru..."

......

After the battle of Rain Country, both the Rain Shinobi and Konoha retreated as if they had a tacit understanding. Hanzo never mentioned the war with Konoha, and Konoha directly withdrew all its troops near Rain Country. Except for the bloodstains and broken limbs, it was as if no war had ever happened.

"Hurizen, Hanzo can make contact, trust me!"

In the Hokage's office, not only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danza, but also Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were there.

Of course, Danzo didn't give Hiruzen the benefit of the doubt and started banging on the table in front of his two fellow advisors.

Hiruzen gave a wry smile and said to Danzo, "We went to engage Hanzo right after the battle. The impact was too bad Danzo."

Yan and Xiaochun on both sides also nodded.

"Womanly kindness! Hiruzen! Let the Root contact Hanzo, and the villagers won't know!"

The two consultants nodded again. That’s right, Danzo should take the blame.

Only Hiruzen shook his head bitterly.

The losses on the Rain Country front were too great, and Konoha suffered heavy casualties. They had to make contact with Hanzo, but now was not the time.

Moreover, the power of the Root has actually been independent of the Hokage, which is also tacitly approved by Hiruzen, but this tacit approval does not mean that Danzo can start a new organization, decide everything on his own, and ignore the Hokage.

"Danzo, wait a little longer until the war is over."

Hiruzen concluded.

Danzo slammed the table angrily and pointed his finger at Hiruzen and nodded again and again.

His face showed an expression of disappointment.

"You're too weak, Hiruzen! Hmph!"

Danzo turned and left. Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh as he watched Danzo's departing back.

This is the nth time. Even though he has only been Hokage for a short time, he has quarreled with Danzo so many times that he can hardly count them.

This old friend of mine has become more and more radical in his will and has even reached extremes.

"Huruzen, don't blame Danzo. He's also planning for the good of the village."

Utane Koharu quickly comforted Sarutobi Hiruzen. She thought she was the peacemaker in this group.

Mitomon En kept frowning. He had a hunch that Danzo might not completely listen to Hiruzen...

......

"Huh~ The war is almost over, Mr. Gu Zang."

Tsunade sat on the small chair at the door and spoke to Gu Zang who was crawling beside the table, with a hint of relief in her tone.

After returning to Konoha, he heard from Sarutobi Hiruzen that Kozo had returned to Konoha, but was not in the Senju mansion.

Tsunade didn't even finish listening to the rest of the words before running to the former residence of Shinzo, which is now the house of Guzo and Kawaki.

"It's still early... The Sand Ninja are very resilient. I know that old woman Chiyo well. She won't give in so easily."

Gu Zang shook his head.

"And the Iwagakure of the Rock Ninja... He's also a tough guy. Apart from Madara, no one has ever fought him head-on."

"Hey! Mr. Gu Zang! Don't try to emulate others!"

Tsunade said dissatisfiedly, moving the small stool closer to the bed and looking curiously at Kawazo who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Does this little guy really have Grandpa's Wood Release?"

"You can't be wrong, Tsunade. Use your chakra to sense it, explore it, and you will find it."

Tsunade rolled her eyes in annoyance. Of course she had investigated, but found nothing. She guessed it was because of the deep bond between Mr. Kozo and her great-grandfather that he could feel it.

"Now that you're back, don't run out again. A while ago, Hiruzen and I went to the Konoha Hospital. They were short of staff there, so they needed you, Tsunade..."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately nodded solemnly, but hesitated again.

"Mr. Gu Zang, I may have to leave the village again. I promised Duan that I would carry out a mission with him."

"Alas... be careful..."

Gu Zang sighed, but his mood was very calm.

Two days later, at the border of the Grass Country.

Tsunade looked at the bloody corpse in front of her in fear, and the Mokumo Kōto beside her was pulling her arm.

"Tsunade! The mission is over! Duan...Duan can't be saved!"

Kato Dan's internal organs were blown away, his entire chest and abdominal cavity were in a mess, and a lot of things were missing that were visibly visible to the naked eye.

Beneath him, large amounts of blood were sprayed all around him. Kato Dan had no breath left and was obviously dead.

"Broken..."

Tsunade's hands were shaking, and no matter how the Bokumo Kōto pulled her, she insisted on using the Palm Immortal Technique to heal the broken bone. Or rather, her body had become stiff, and she didn't want to, nor could she, move her arms.

The shocking bright red constantly stimulated Tsunade's eyes, and the blood-red color filled her heart. The necklace that symbolized the first Hokage was still on her broken neck, and it was now soaked in blood.

"Broken..."

In the end, Bokumo Kōto knocked out the mad Tsunade and returned to Konoha with Tsunade and Dan's bodies.

Kato Dan's funeral was held alone, with only a few people attending.

Besides Tsunade and Komoe Koushi's two teammates, only Orochimaru and Dan's sister were present.

The younger sister who was discontinued was holding a baby named Shizune.

Tsunade attended the funeral drunkenly, left the funeral in a daze, and returned to the Senju mansion.

She didn't cry out loud, nor did she scream, but just fell into a deep sleep.

That night, Kato Dan's coffin was buried in the mountains behind Konoha.

"Ah......"

Gu Zang lay on a dense tree, looking at the thin figure in front of Kato's broken grave, and couldn't help wanting to laugh.

Orochimaru.

The two actually thought of going together.

Gu Zang didn't think that Orochimaru came to Kato Dan's grave to pay tribute to him. Instead, he was as restless as Gu Zang himself and came on the first night.

Sure enough, Orochimaru used earth escape to move Kato Dan's grave, opened the coffin, fumbled around in the coffin for something, then buried the coffin back and left.

After you finish drinking the water, you cover the well again, right?

Shinzo's body is in the hands of the Anbu, Kawazo is still too young and easy to be discovered, and Guzo has no personal ninjutsu, so he can only dig slowly with his claws to break the grave!

After digging for a long time, they finally dug out Kato Dan's body again.

It's hard to tell where it was taken. Orochimaru acted very measuredly.

Gu Zang nodded, then swallowed Kato Dan in one gulp.

The art of spiritualization!
