Chapter 181 Memorial to the Hero
Next, the atmosphere between Jiraiya and Beiruhu was a bit dull. No one spoke. Jiraiya lowered his head and thought about his own things, but Liu ignored him and was too lazy to say anything.
After a while, Jiraiya seemed to have figured out something. He raised his head and said to Bei Liuhu and Liu Hu: "I think I understand. Congratulations, Bei Liuhu has found the goal of his struggle."
"Thanks!"
To be honest, you usually think that Beilihu is a bit gloomy and withdrawn, and he looks like a shota on the surface, but in fact, his age is the same as theirs, and he feels like a hero in his twilight years, but this
For a moment, there was a hint of warmth in him, a feeling of vitality.
"Alas! I really hope that Konoha can become like this. If I bring the system of Oto Ninja Village back to Konoha and then carry out reforms, is it possible..."
"Stop daydreaming!" Jiraiya interrupted Jiraiya before he could finish his words. "Think about it with your little brain. Do you think it's possible? If you think about it,
In order for civilians and ninjas to live together equally, we must first let the ninjas put aside their pride and look at the world with an ordinary person's mentality, which is contrary to the education they have received before. Over the years, because of their powerful power, ninjas have been placed under
In a superior position, many ninjas kill civilians at will. Even if they live in harmony on the surface, they will look down on them in their hearts. And this is what the ruling class wants to see. They need to control ninjas as tools. The top brass, including Naruto, are like this.
Do you think the beneficiaries of this policy are willing to give up their interests?”
Jiraiya suddenly stopped talking. Although he was a bit careless on weekdays, he was actually a very smart person, but he just didn't want to take care of these things. Of course he understood that what Beilihu said was right. If he really put the sound
If the policies of the Ninja Village are brought back to Konoha, I'm afraid it won't take long to be labeled as a traitor. Even Tsunade and the Third Generation can't protect him, because this kind of behavior is almost shaking the foundation of Konoha.
There was clearly a good policy that could make the world a better place and even achieve the peace he had always pursued, but he didn't dare to touch it. For the first time, Jiraiya felt the deep malice of the world, which was so helpless.
"You are not suitable for doing this kind of thing, so the task of changing Konoha should be left to the next generation, because unless it is completely demolished and rebuilt, Konoha will always be that rotten village. With your personality, you cannot be ruthless unless
You have powerful power that can shock the entire Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, so that they have to follow the path you want, but it is obvious that you do not have that kind of strength, so you should continue to be your prodigal son."
Jiraiya thought about this and said with a wry smile: "That's right, this road is not suitable for me, and I am a prisoner now. Why do you think so much? I'd better be honest. If you have wine now, you'd better think first.
Find ways to have more fun."
"Just understand, don't think too much, just wait for Konoha Village to redeem you."
Jiraiya quickly put these troublesome things behind him, and used his heartless personality to wander around. He was soon attracted by the bustling scene of the village, shouting and trying various novelties.
The delicious food is a joy to eat.
At the same time, the Red Sand Scorpion also returned home with his grandmother. Originally, they could have gone faster, but they went to the security department in advance in order to gain some freedom for Chiyo.
Scorpio begged for mercy and asked Uzumaki Kana as a guarantor to help Chiyo lift part of the seal so that he could use Chunin-level chakra. After all, he was old and sealing chakra would be bad for his health.
"Are you...are you...people or ghosts? How can you still be alive? Am I under an illusion?" When Chiyo saw the two familiar yet unfamiliar figures in front of her, she was stunned. She felt like she was dreaming.
, the son and daughter-in-law who had been dead for many years actually appeared in front of him.
But it turned out that Chiyo was not dreaming, nor was she under an illusion. Everything in front of her eyes was real. Her son and daughter-in-law enthusiastically stepped forward to hold her hands, and a familiar and warm feeling came from their palms.
"Mom, long time no see. We are humans, not ghosts. We are resurrected, thanks to Lord Orochimaru. This is not the kind of filthy reincarnation, but a true resurrection."
Looking at his long-missed son and daughter-in-law, Chiyo couldn't bear it any longer. Tears kept falling. He opened his hands, hugged them tightly, and murmured with tears in his eyes: "It's good to be alive.
Just stay alive, mom is sorry for you..."
At this moment, Chiyo no longer thinks about whether it is an illusion or reality, she just wants to enjoy this moment of reunion between mother and son. If it is really just a dream, then let this dream last longer.
That night, the Scorpion family reunited and enjoyed some family fun. In the evening, Chiyo even ignored his old age and cooked a table of delicious dishes. Everyone ate happily.
Chiyo learned from his son and daughter-in-law that they were no longer ninjas. They were just ordinary teachers who occasionally controlled puppet performances to earn extra money. Although they were a little tired sometimes, they lived a happy life.
Originally, Chiyo felt very unhappy after being captured, and even planned to teach Orochimaru a lesson and get the situation back if there was a chance in the future, but now the unhappiness in her heart has completely dissipated, and she is very grateful to Orochimaru.
Let him reunite with his family.
The next morning, Beiruhu got up early, and rarely changed into very formal clothes, and dressed up carefully. When Jiraiya got up, he saw Beiruhu in formal clothes, and his face was full of surprise.
"Where are you going? Why are you dressed so formally?"
"I'm going to attend a memorial service. Just stay at home and don't run around and cause trouble for me." After a few words of warning, Beiliu stood up and prepared to go out.
Jiraiya quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed Bei Liu and shouted: "Wait, wait, it's too unreasonable for you to leave me alone at home like this. It's disrespectful to hospitality. You might as well take me with you."
, I’m quite curious about your memorial service.”
"Are you sure you want to go? The memorial service is to commemorate the Oto-nin who died in this war. There are many family members, friends, brothers, and comrades-in-arms of the sacrificed ninjas... Among them, there may be ten thousand who died in your hands.
As soon as I recognize your identity, I might go crazy on the spot and kill you to pay homage to the spirits of those dead ninjas in heaven. How dare you go?"
"There...what's there to be afraid of?" Jiraiya said bravely: "At worst, I'll just find a place to hide it so they can't find it. I'm not familiar with the place here, and I don't feel at ease. You
Just take me with you, I promise not to cause you any trouble."
Beilihu looked at Jiraiya seriously, and finally nodded in agreement. He took Jiraiya to the square in the center of Otonin Village. He first sent Jiraiya to the highest floor of a nearby building, and then walked to the square.
Attend the memorial service.
At this time, a dense crowd of people had gathered in the square, including ninjas and civilians. Everyone had sadness on their faces, but also a hint of pride.
After all, people will die in war. Although the casualties in Tian Zhiguo are not large because of the preparations, some people still leave permanently, and sadness is inevitable.
Most of the people in Sound Ninja Village today are refugees recruited from various places by Yang Jian through the Earth Chamber of Commerce. Their lives used to be very difficult, and they were all the kind of people who were struggling at the bottom or even unable to survive. Before coming to Sound Ninja Village, they only had a meal.
I can't even eat. I have seen too much death. This is also the most common theme in the ninja world, especially these poor people. They see dead people outside every day. They starve to death, freeze to death, die of illness, and are killed by ninjas.
They have long been used to it, and they have already trained their hearts to be extremely strong. Although their eyes were red, they held back the tears.
There were some ninjas who had personally participated in the war to bid farewell to their dead comrades. Looking at the villagers who came spontaneously and the respect on their faces, I felt that everything was worth it.
Because they have protected this country and its simple people, the domestic cohesion has reached a higher level. Everyone understands that the war is not easy. They are able to work stably and make money in the country, eat, wear, have housing and sleep, all because they have
A group of lovely people are silently carrying everything for them behind the scenes! Many young people seem to have found their goals and joined the army with the intention of protecting their families and the country.
Everyone is proud when they are grieving. They are proud of their country in their hearts, because Tianzhi Country, a small country, relies on its own strength to defeat the coalition forces of the five major ninja villages and dozens of small ninja villages.
Despite the siege, victory was still achieved, which is an incredible thing.
The entire ninja world was boiling. Many people believed that this was the result of the reform of Tian Country, which gave full play to the power of the entire country. This made those senior officials who previously respected the one-country-one-nin village system begin to have some self-doubt, which lasted for many years.
Is the policy too outdated? Should it be changed? Perhaps putting everything under the control of the state can better unleash the power of the entire country.
The atmosphere in the square was a bit heavy. Orochimaru did not know when he appeared on the central stage, holding a piece of information in his hand. Behind him was a group of ninjas wearing sound ninja costumes, standing upright, including Beiruhu, and
Shennong, the Scorpion of Red Sand, Shuiwu Yuebai, Kimimaro, Wuwei, Wugou, Chana and her daughter...
Orochimaru took a deep breath, looked at the information in his hand, and said loudly: "Inoue Sanli, killed three chunin and five genin on the battlefield. In order to protect his companions, he used his body to block the enemy's killing blow.
Then use forbidden magic to kill the enemy together..."
Orochimaru also became excited. Originally, this award was intended to inspire those warrior ninjas, but he was inspired first.
After Orochimaru finished speaking, an old man walked onto the stage with a seven-year-old boy in his arms. The little boy also held a large photo frame in his arms. It was a black and white photo of Inoue Sanli. The old man and the child were his
Old father and son, as for his wife, she was encountered by a robber three years ago and died to protect her son.
The old man took the medal from Orochimaru and bowed tremblingly to Orochimaru and everyone in the audience. With tears in his eyes, he quietly looked at the medal in his hand and said, "I am proud of my
My son is proud. He died in the battle to protect the country of Tian. This is our home. Our family should have starved to death a long time ago, but we are lucky and came here. We don’t have to suffer anymore and we are well fed and clothed.
If you are warm, your children can receive a good education. In the future, my grandson will become a person like him and protect the country of Tian. He is a hero..."
When talking about the latter part, the old man almost broke down in tears, but he still stood up straight and did not want to embarrass his son.
The old man is not worried about his future life at all, because Tian Zhiguo provides very generous subsidies to soldiers who died in the war. Not only do they have no worries about food and clothing, but their children can also receive the best education and study hard, and they will definitely become the best soldiers in the future.
.
Seeing this situation, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh a little. Masaka felt a little confused and felt a little soft. Sometimes he wanted to ask himself if he had done something wrong?
It wasn't until the old man's hunched body slowly walked off the stage that Orochimaru came back to his senses, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then started to read the second name.
"Shouta Yamamoto, killed three people on the battlefield. In order to stop the enemy, he detonated the detonating talisman on his body..."
As the names were read out one after another, Orochimaru, who was used to seeing life and death, felt that he had become cold-blooded, and his voice started to tremble a little.
Peace is always the most precious thing and is hard to come by. No one knows how many people have been sacrificed for peace, how many things have been given up, or how long peace can last. This may be cruel, but this is a country that wants to be strong.
You must go through the process of blood and tears to get up!
Jiraiya watched this unique memorial service, which was also a medal ceremony, and quickly understood its significance. It can very effectively enhance the cohesion of the country. He wondered whether he would have such a ceremony when he returned to Konoha.
, I plan to take this opportunity to study hard.
But at this moment, Jiraiya saw a familiar face, or should I say a familiar black and white photo, among the people who were on stage to award medals. He was surrounded by a woman who was not pretty and looked a little thin.
He was held in his arms, accompanied by a little girl who might have just learned to walk.
At that moment, Jiraiya felt as if he had been hit hard on the head. Jiraiya remembered clearly that he killed the ninja himself. In terms of strength, he was only a genin, but Jiraiya had an impression of him.
Profoundly, I was ruthless in order to escape. I originally planned to kill a chuunin, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, a person rushed out from beside him and grabbed his arm tightly. Although he was quickly killed by himself.
Laiya was burnt to ashes with a fire escape, but his death was not in vain because his efforts bought time for others and allowed his companions to survive.
Looking at the thin woman and little girl, Jiraiya felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on his chest, and he could hardly breathe. He didn't dare to look at them anymore, turned around and walked away in despair.
Although Jiraiya kept telling himself in his heart that all this was because of the war, there was no right or wrong on the battlefield, even though Jiraiya kept telling himself that the subsidies for the families of ninjas killed in the war in Oto Ninja Village were very generous, and that woman and
The little girl will receive very good care, but it still won't do much. Jiraiya almost wants to yell madly, because he knows very well that no matter how he convinces himself, he can't hide that he killed a father and a husband, so that
Chapter completed!
