Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 75: The Indissoluble Bond between Orochimaru and the Crystal Coffin (Second Update)

Emiya Shihara…

I've never liked this era.

Only after she grew up did Tsunade understand some things.

For example, her grandmother Uzumaki Mito mentioned that Emiya Shihara did not like this era. He always hated all wars and fights between ninjas, hated the intrigues among ninjas, hated people's deception and concealment, and hated everything about this era.

Except her…

Emiya Shihara had always liked her when she was a child.

When she was a child, she aspired to become a medical ninja, which made her the only person to whom Shihara Emiya inherited the medical ninja's will.

Unfortunately…

Tsunade thought about her experience as a ninja over the years. When she grew up, she was not just a medical ninja. Inevitably, she became one of the ninja groups that Emiya Shihara hated for the sake of Konoha.

even…

She also became an executioner in the war.

Anyone who joins the war will inevitably be stained with blood. There will always be people who want to kill her, and naturally they will be killed by the more powerful her.

even…

The power that person gave her was also used by her to fight.

No.

not always.

Because that person always saves the world.

No matter how much he appears to dislike the world, he will work hard to save the suffering people in the world, just as he always tirelessly treats the seriously wounded in the war, and just as he would take the initiative to stand up and use his fame to quell the First Ninja World War.

What the guy Hanzo said was right...

actually…

If he were still here...

The world would never be this bad.

"let's go."

"Go back and report to the village..."

Tsunade walked towards her teammates as she spoke, frowning as she wiped her palms, trying to wipe off the mud and blood on them.

"Tsunade, use this."

Orochimaru pulled off his shawl and handed it to her.

Although Orochimaru didn't quite understand why Tsunade was so concerned about her hands at this moment, he knew that Tsunade must be feeling uncomfortable with the war.

As a teammate, Orochimaru is very tolerant.

"Ha, how can I use your shawl?"

Tsunade quickly and subconsciously waved her hands to reject Orochimaru. She rubbed her palms hard and had to give up, laughing at herself.

"never mind…"

"It can't be cleaned anyway."

"Ha ha…"

Jiraiya's arm was still on Orochimaru's shoulder. He felt a little relieved because of his victory. He chuckled and said, "Find a clean place and wash it and it will be clean..."

"Is it?"

Tsunade couldn't smile.

When she couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky of the Rain Kingdom, watching the raindrops falling from the dark clouds in the sky, she suddenly uttered some sad words.

"In this day and age...are there still clean places?"

"..."

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were both silent.

In fact.

There is no clean place.

Even everywhere was filled with darkness and mud.

After the battle, when they were resting near the battlefield, they met three orphans who walked into the battlefield carrying bread.

Yahiko, Nagato, Konan.

The three orphans came with a simple purpose, they hoped to learn ninjutsu from Jiraiya, because Jiraiya often traveled in the ninja world and left a reputation as a knight.

Although they really wanted to take another ninja as their teacher, it was a bit unfortunate that the ninja did not have time to pay attention to the three of them.

“Can you still buy bread?”

Orochimaru glanced at the rusks in his hand, and then looked at the large loaves of bread in the orphans' backpacks with some caution: "If they can still buy bread during this war, they don't look like ordinary orphans..."

"Ah, no."

Yahiko quickly explained, hoping that the other party would understand: "This is what we received from Kakuzu-sama yesterday. Kakuzu-sama has been distributing food..."

"Kakuzu?"

"Yes."

Nagato and Konan beside Yahiko were not good at communicating, so he could only explain himself seriously: "Since the war in Rain Country, it must be because everyone is having a hard time, Kakuzu-sama came here and has been distributing food to refugees. He also personally sends children who have lost their parents to orphanages in other countries..."

originally…

They almost went to an orphanage too.

Even when Kakuzu asked them about a woman named Fuso, he mentioned that Nagato still had relatives among them alive, and asked them to wait until he had distributed the food and then he would send them away, but Nagato refused because his friend Yahiko wanted world peace.

Fine.

Kakuzu also admired the Uzumaki clan's stubbornness.

Whatever is entrusted to the Uzumaki clan, these red-haired people will be stubborn and want to complete it, and it is not easy to persuade them.

pity.

Jiao Du is not a qualified teacher.

and…

Kakuzu's work is very busy.

Because he always needed to make money, he had no time to guide the three little brats in their training, and he didn't think becoming a ninja would be a good thing.

even…

Before leaving, Kakuzu warned them seriously.

"If you become a ninja, you will die."

Once he becomes a ninja, he will inevitably be involved in the fights between ninjas. Even if he kills all the high-ranking officials of Takigakure Village, he will not be able to escape from the ninja fights.

pity.

The three little ghosts didn't want to listen at all.

They chose another person who also had a reputation in the ninja world.

"That's it."

Yahiko looked at Jiraiya and explained earnestly: "We originally wanted to learn from Kakuzu-sama, but Kakuzu-sama has no time for us. We also don't want to go to an orphanage. We also want to become ninjas who can bring peace to the world..."

"..."

Zilai couldn't help but feel a headache.

What's going on...

How come I became the backup choice of the three little ghosts?

Do these three little devils think I have the time to take care of them?
"That man named Kakuzu is right."

Orochimaru's eyes were grim, and his temperament became even colder after being tempered by war: "Three little brats like you may die on the battlefield at any time. Even if you become a ninja, you are destined to die in the battle. It's better for you to be sent to an orphanage by him and become an ordinary person so that you can survive..."

"Ok?"

Tsunade couldn't help but look at the long-haired boy among them.

"Those eyes..."

Jiraiya suddenly noticed the eyes of the long-haired boy. Those were a pair of legendary eyes, the eyes of the legendary god Six Paths Sage!
Samsara Eye!
At this moment, Jiraiya remembered what the big toad sage had said when he first arrived at Myoboku Mountain. He was burdened with the destiny of finding and guiding the child of prophecy who could change the ninja world in the future!
As Jiraiya grew up, he began to travel in the ninja world, hoping to find the child of prophecy mentioned by the Great Toad Sage, but he never found anything.

just now…

He seems to have found it!

This child with the Rinnegan might be the legendary child of prophecy!

"I'll stay and take care of them."

Jiraiya decided to stay and teach the three children.

Because this was the fate that the Great Toad Immortal said he would have to accept sooner or later, and he was even prepared for it, believing that the war should come to an end.

"It shouldn't be any trouble anyway."

Jiraiya looked at his two teammates a little embarrassedly: "Hanzo the Salamander has surrendered, this Ninja World War should be over soon..."

"but…"

Tsunade couldn't help but frown.

“This is a bit reckless.”

Orochimaru couldn't understand his companions' actions, but he was always willing to respect their choices. However, he also had a different opinion: "Perhaps it is best to let the three of them leave with the man named Kakuzu, because our war is far from over..."

Yes.

It's more than just not over.

It can even be said that it has just begun.

With the end of the war between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village, Konoha and the Hidden Sand Village officially went to war. In this battle, Hatake Sakumo became famous for his superb swordsmanship and the Storm Release bloodline in his body, and he killed the two puppeteer captains of the Hidden Sand Village!

same.

This also attracted greater hatred!

The elder Chiyo of the Sand Village personally led the puppeteer army to come, forcing Konoha to send more troops to stop the large-scale invasion of the Sand Village.

In order to resist the Sand Village ninja army, Konoha even sent its newly graduated students to the battlefield, including Tsunade's younger brother Nawaki.

After Tsunade's grandmother Uzumaki Mito removed the Nine-Tails from her body and died, Tsunade was left with only Nawaki as a relative, and she has always doted on this younger brother.

"This is a treasure left by my great grandfather." Tsunade gave her the pendant given to her by her great grandfather, Hashirama Senju, to her younger brother, hoping that it would bring good luck to her younger brother. She tapped his forehead and said, "Why can't you become a medical ninja like your sister?"

"I will protect Konoha!"

"Become a hero who protects Konoha!"

Nawaki was very ambitious and waved his fists: "Sister, a medical ninja can't become a hero who protects Konoha!"

"Who said that!"

Tsunade punched him on the head.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Sheng Shu covered his head and stepped aside.

"Hehehehe..."

Orochimaru stood beside them and smiled happily. In fact, it was indeed difficult for medical ninjas to protect Konoha, but they might be able to protect the world.

pity…

The medical ninja who protects the world is a taboo in Konoha.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Orochimaru."

Tsunade entrusted her newly graduated brother to her friend, hoping that Orochimaru could protect her brother in this war.

Unfortunately…

Tsunade ultimately underestimated the cruelty of war.

Since Jiraiya stayed in the Land of Rain, Tsunade and Orochimaru had to lead two armies to intercept the Sand Village army. Konoha paid a heavy price and finally won the war, and this price finally appeared on Tsunade.

rope tree.

Tsunade's own brother died in battle.

"I'm sorry... Tsunade..."

Orochimaru had cold sweat on his cheeks as he held the pendant of Rope Tree's relic in his hand. Tsunade had entrusted her own brother to him, but he ended up betraying Tsunade's trust.

"..."

Tsunade ignored Orochimaru and just walked towards the direction of Nawaki's body in a daze, and calmly uncovered the white cloth.

"..."

Orochimaru stood outside the door with a hint of sadness in his eyes. It was unclear whether it was because of Rope Tree's death or because he felt sorry for his fellow human being because of Rope Tree's death.

“Life is so fragile…”

death…

It cannot be the end of a life.

When a person dies, he will lose everything, his loved ones, his friends, and all the connections he once had in this world.

"..."

Tsunade stayed in the morgue of Rope Tree for a long time before walking out. She reached out and took the pendant from Rope Tree without blaming Orochimaru.

fortunately.

The war is finally coming to an end.

Although more and more people died in the war and many outstanding Konoha ninjas lost their lives on the battlefield, they spent several years and finally won the battle against Sand Village with great difficulty.

Tsunade returned to Konoha Village.

She lay quietly in the medical ninja's secret room, holding the pendant left to her by the first Hokage in her hand, staring at the silhouette in the coffin.

This scene…

It looks a bit scary.

However, Tsunade didn't seem to be afraid of corpses at all. She just lay in the secret room, polishing the pendant in her hand, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

Death is not the end of life.

She has experienced the death of loved ones more than once, and her heart should no longer be so fragile. The traces of the deceased remain in the hearts of the living, and they can live forever and forever.

Just when Tsunade was trying to convince herself to give up a dangerous idea, Orochimaru, who had been worried that something had happened to her, found the secret room. He saw Tsunade lying dejectedly on a camp bed, and also saw the crystal coffin placed in the middle of the secret room.

"Orochimaru, is something wrong?"

Tsunade raised her head somewhat dejectedly, her messy golden hair draped around her neck. She seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Orochimaru entering this secret room.

"..."

Orochimaru shook his head and involuntarily wanted to walk over step by step, because he also knew a legend about the crystal coffin: "This is..."

"That person's crystal coffin."

"They said it was for medical ninjas to learn."

Tsunade sat up bored. She would not hide anything from her teammate: "I was just thinking about learning a forbidden technique to revive the Rope Tree, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget about that kind of blasphemy against the dead..."

after all…

She had seen Emiya Shihara with her own eyes.

At that time, Emiya Shihara was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Like the living dead..."

Tsunade picked up the pendant in her hand and threw it on the crystal coffin, as if she had finally let go of her grudge: "Nawaki probably wouldn't like living like him."

"and…"

"Resurrecting one person would require sacrificing the life of another person..."

Tsunade talked about Konoha's forbidden techniques and taboos without hesitation. She looked at the silhouette in the crystal coffin and suddenly laughed at herself: "If I become the kind of ninja who does whatever it takes, he will definitely be disappointed. After all, I am a medical ninja..."

During this time, she finally let go of her worries.

However, Tsunade did not notice another thing. There was a slight flash of curiosity in Orochimaru's eyes. He was not curious about the crystal coffin, but about the half corpse inside it.

The ninjas of ancient times...

His teacher, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the village's Hokage assistant Shimura Danzo, and his friend Tsunade, all became especially powerful because of the power that person gave them...

"Let's talk."

Tsunade tidied up her messy blonde hair and asked nonchalantly, "Is Jiraiya coming back soon?"

"He should be back soon."

"The war between the Iwagakure Village and us is about to begin..."

Orochimaru mentioned the recent plan of the village's top leaders: "The teacher and the two Hokage advisors believe that we should take advantage of the great victory over the Sand Village to defeat the invading Iwagakure army in one fell swoop..."

"whatever."

Tsunade had long been numb to the war, and she finally accepted her fate like a ninja: "Just wait and execute their orders..."

The war finally came to an end.

With the gathering and entry of the three ninjas of Konoha, Konoha finally won the victory over the Iwagakure Village. The entire ninja world was riddled with holes because of the Second Ninja World War.

Although Jiraiya thought he had found two already, for example, he thought that the child with the Rinnegan, and he thought that his subordinate Minato Namikaze, these two students were more talented than him as a teacher.

But Jiraiya thought that might not be the case, and he still needed to continue his journey.

"I'm planning on traveling, too."

"But I will travel and heal at the same time..."

Tsunade stood in front of the memorial stone in Konoha and recalled the stories she had heard in the past. She decided to walk the path that Shihara Emiya had taken again and start saving the world like Shihara Emiya.

"I will stay in the village and continue to learn more techniques..."

"Master all the skills in the world, know all the knowledge in the world..."

Orochimaru became more and more hungry for knowledge and power.

"alright."

"It would be inconvenient for me to go out."

Tsunade thought it was just right for one of her friends to stay in Konoha, so she planned to entrust her crystal coffin to Orochimaru: "I'll leave the things in that medical secret room to you to take care of. When the village lifts the ban on him one day, you can send it to the medical department. Anyway, it was originally just for medical ninja learning materials..."

Orochimaru had seen the crystal coffin a long time ago.

Tsunade didn't think there was any need for her to hide anything from Orochimaru.

Besides, it is just a thing used by a medical ninja, and it should play its full value according to the will he left to the world.

"Remember to clean it up for me..."

Tsunade instructed her friend without hesitation.

"it is good."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded, agreeing to his friend.

"What care are you talking about?"

Jiraiya didn't quite understand their riddles.

"A very valuable treasure."

Orochimaru shook his head and whispered, "You wouldn't be interested in that kind of treasure."

"Well, I don't know when we'll see each other next time."

Jiraiya was very free and easy. He didn't ask about their secrets and just planned to leave.

Only Tsunade remembered the teachings she had received from Emiya Shihara in the past. She found the niece of her fallen comrade-in-arms among the children who were willing to learn medical ninjutsu, and took the child with her on the journey.

Konoha Sannin.

Orochimaru was the only one left.

When Orochimaru carefully wiped the crystal coffin in the secret room according to Tsunade's instructions, a long and narrow light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw some treasure.

"I was hoping to find a chance to get it..."

"I didn't expect Tsunade to choose to entrust her to me like this."

Orochimaru's palm fell on the crystal coffin, stroking the lines bit by bit. He remembered the scene when he first saw the crystal coffin, and couldn't help talking to himself: "Tsunade, I have planned to try to learn the forbidden technique that you gave up to revive Rope Tree, but not to blaspheme the peace of Rope Tree's soul, but to gain more powerful power from this man..."

"Tsunade, the curse seals on you, the teacher, and Danzo are a power that makes people jealous..."

"For power..."

"There's nothing wrong with using any means necessary."

"I am just learning from the ninja I admire most... the second Hokage who once brought shame to Konoha."
