Chapter 123: Telling Orochimaru about Life
The master and disciple fell into silence. Time passed slowly, the first ray of sunlight began to appear in the sky, and the cold wind whistling in the desert began to calm down.
Suddenly, Jiraiya looked in one direction. He felt someone approaching, but he did not be alert or warn Nara Mizuno and Nara Tatsumaru, because that direction was the Land of Fire, and he was very familiar with that person's breath, which was his teammate Orochimaru.
After a while, the pale face of Orochimaru appeared in the sight of several people. Hakusuke Mizuno was a little nervous. He saw that it was Orochimaru and had already seen Jiraiya's appearance, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Orochimaru soon came to the side of several people. He did not look at the bloody Huomizu Gate, nor did he look at the old teammate Jiraiya, but looked at the Nara Quini who became completely different from the meeting two months ago.
Cold, lonely, tired...
At this time, Orochimaru saw too many similar traits in Nara Quini. Nara Quini saw Orochimaru and asked: "Sir Orochimaru, why are you here too?"
Orochimaru ignored him and asked him, Jiraiya who was about to meet and slam her high fives. Instead, she sat directly in front of Nara Kazunaga and said:
"Lu Mingjun, I have been studying the signal base station during this period and have not communicated with the outside world. I only found out in the past two days. I am very sorry about your father."
As he said that, Orochimaru looked at Nara Quini's eyes and became a little strange, as if he was looking for a companion, but Nara Quini avoided his eyes and said, "It's okay, the body has been brought back."
After Nara Kumin said that, he stood up and patted the sand on his body. He looked at the direction Orochimaru was coming and said, "I want to go back to the village first, Minato, where are you?"
Hakusuke Mizuno looked at Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Jiraiya nodded, Orochimaru smiled politely, so he stopped hesitating and said, "Go back first, I have information to report to Lord Naruto."
The four of them started rushing. On the way, Jiraiya asked at Habuki Mizuno, "You said that Naruto sent you to find the reason, have you found it?"
Naoki Mizuno nodded. He had no doubts about Jiraiya, and said, "I found some of them. The main reason was that the third generation of Fengying was missing. Sand Hidden Village suspected that it was made by Konoha."
"The third generation of Fengying disappeared..."
Jiraiya muttered, and his face became solemn. The shadow of a village may not be the strongest in a village, but it represents a village or even a country.
Once something happens to Ying, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. Jiraiya recalled Luo Sa's eyes, and the fact that the diplomatic negotiations started half a month ago as Naruto said.
I instantly guessed the approximate timeline. The third generation Fengying disappeared for at least half a month. Jirai didn't believe that the third generation Fengying was just missing.
The bigger possibility is that he has been killed. The reason why Sand Village decided that Konoha was the murderer was probably because he found some clues that Konoha was not good for Fengying.
When Jiraiya thought of this, his head became bigger. In recent years, the identity of Konoha Ninja has become less and less popular in other countries.
A ninja organization with backs against Konoha continued to penetrate the Hidden Village and the Ninja organization to cause trouble, causing ninjas in the ninja world to hate Konoha more and more. Even Jiraiya himself took off Konoha's ninja protection and replaced it with a more artistic protection.
Jiraiya, the leader of the organization that was doing trouble everywhere in the ninja world, was probably clear about it. It was Sarutobi Hiruzen Yuri's teammate Shimura Danzo.
He is also one of the Konoha senior executives that Jiraiya hates the most, and the others... In short, they are all people around Sarutobi Hina, so Jirai cannot hate Sarutobi Hina, the teacher, but he can hate the people around him.
Afterwards, Jiraiya asked some questions, learned about the recent situation of the village, and then bowed his head and started rushing. At night, the four of them finally left the territory of the Wind Kingdom and came to the territory of the Sichuan Kingdom.
I found a village hostel and lived in a simple renovation. Nara Kamikaku also cleaned her body in the hostel and came into contact with the battle mode.
The severe pain made Nara Qu Ming sweat a lot, and he had no choice but to take another bath.
After taking a shower and having supper, Nara Quini stayed in the small courtyard of the hostel, admiring the stars in the night sky.
When Nara Quini was a child in her previous life, she heard some strange legends. There is a legend that Nara Quini always remembered in her heart.
After a good person dies, he will turn into stars and silently stare at his relatives and children in the air.
Nara Qu Ming looked at the stars in the night sky and suddenly hoped that the legend would be true. In this way, perhaps you could look up at your old relatives by accidentally raising your head at night.
"Lu Mingjun, life is really fragile, do you think so?"
Suddenly, Nara Quini heard a hoarse voice. Nara Quini, who was out of the combat state, had a much lower perception of the outside world, but he also realized that it was Orochimaru's voice.
Nara Tamazu did not get up, but continued to look into the night sky and said, "No."
"no?"
Orochimaru was a little surprised. After all, Nara Quini had just lost his father, so how could he not believe that life is fragile? If Nara Quini didn't believe it, then who can help him with his life project?
"No! Life is strong, and the grave is not the end of life. It can only prove that a person stops breathing and stops his heartbeat."
As he said that, Nara Kinamin put his hands on the armrest of the recliner, sat up, and looked at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was silent for a while and said, "But if you could resurrect your father, would you choose?"
Nara Kamiya shook her head and said, "I don't have the right to choose my father's life, but I can carry my father's will. As long as I am still there, his life will not end.
I heard from a wise man that a person will experience two deaths in his life, the first is a physiological death, and the second is a forgotten by all living people.
In my opinion, life is not something that can be quantified. It can be a person's heartbeat, a person's soul, or a person's will.
As long as I still pursue my father's spirit, he will not die."
Orochimaru listened, leaned against the stone pillar of the pavilion and asked, "Do you think your father's will is more worthy of your pursuit than your father's heartbeat and breathing?"
As he said that, the evening breeze blew, blew the white hair that had not yet dried out. Nara Deeriya pulled her hair back and said, "Fishes grow in water, die in water; plants grow in soil, die in soil; and people grow in Tao, die in Tao.
If you just live for a long time, but you don’t have the same voice around you, then what’s the difference between you and being dead?”
Looking at Nara Qu Ming's calm appearance, Orochimaru asked as he struggled, "Get a long life and pursue infinite truth, don't you want to live such a life?"
"Orochimaru, I am a plain person, I care about everything around me, that's why you are the best scientist in the ninja world and I am the best businessman in the ninja world.
I just want the people I care about to live better. This is also my father's ideal. I have to stick to it. It's dark and I'm going to rest. Lord Orochimaru, please take a break early."
Orochimaru looked at Nara Qu Ming's departure back in a daze. After a long time, Orochimaru turned around and looked at the wall on the other side. His hoarse voice was filled with a hint of jealousy, and he said, "Jiraiya, this is the disciple you taught."
Behind the wall, a figure suddenly jumped up. It was Jiraiya. Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru with a smile, sighed with emotion, and said, "Yes, this is my disciple."
