Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

Sasuke and Naruto shouted in unison, both saying that they could fight again.

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

I saw the mouth of the gourd toad opening, and the three masters and disciples filed out.

After seeing the three people appear, Kimimaro, who was already lying on the ground, struggled to get up again, using the drill-like bone "flower" in his hand to support himself and barely stood up.

However, his movement was followed by a cough.

Blood spurted out from Kimimaro's mouth.

It seemed that with this last dance, his life, which already had little energy, was almost completely burned out.

"Ahem, you guys can't even get past this place until Lord Orochimaru leaves safely!"

The staggering Kimimaro once again raised the bone sword in his hand, weakly but firmly declaring.

On the other side, after seeing Uchiha Sasuke appear safely, Orochimaru felt completely relieved and turned around to leave.

"Orochimaru-sama, Kimimaro, I'm afraid he will die in this place."

Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but remind him.

"Kimimaro doesn't matter now. He has no value."

"That body full of pain is not worth regretting."

Orochimaru said coldly.

The sound was not loud, but it reached the ears of Kimimaro and others clearly.

Kimimaro's figure was seen shaking suddenly, his face was hidden in the shadow of his hair, and his expression could not be clearly seen.

After saying these words, Orochimaru left without looking back.

Kabuto Yakushi looked at Kimimaro again, hesitated for a moment, and quickly chased in the direction of Orochimaru.

"Damn it! You bastard!"

Orochimaru's indifference towards his companions once again angered Naruto. He clenched his fists and glared in the direction where Orochimaru left.

"Naruto!"

Jiraiya reminded that now was not the time to be distracted.

Just as the three masters and disciples turned their attention back to Kimimaro, they heard a loud "bang".

Kimimaro fell to the ground and passed out completely in front of everyone.

dark.

I don’t know how much time passed in this darkness.

“Life may not have any meaning, but if you keep living, you may discover interesting things. Just like you discovered that flower, just like I discovered you.”

The words Orochimaru said when he first met Kimimaro were like a ray of light shining into Kimimaro's life which was filled with darkness.

Kimimaro firmly believes that protecting Lord Orochimaru and his ambition is his mission in life.

"Let's go and get everything, Kimimaro. Then, let's see the truth of this world together."

I still remember how happy Kimimaro was when Lord Orochimaru bestowed the Earth Seal on me for the first time.

In the future, I can become a part of Lord Orochimaru and complete that great ideal with him.

He will eventually live in Lord Orochimaru's heart forever.

He had always believed this.

Chapter 94 Heartbroken

//

"Kimimaro doesn't matter now. He has no value."

Orochimaru's words kept replaying in Kimimaro's mind.

//

Do not!

Kimimaro suddenly woke up, covered with a clean sheet and sweating profusely.

Looking around, I saw dim light, and the torches on the walls cast huge shadows.

It seemed like returning to Orochimaru's underground research base, but there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.

"Is this, hell?"

Kimimaro thought of everything, his heart was filled with despair, and he muttered to himself.

"Maybe, but we usually call this place 'Konoha' more."

From the shadows, a handsome young man with an elegant appearance stepped out and answered Kimimaro's question.

"You are."

Kimimaro recognized it.

The person in front of him was none other than the new vessel that Lord Orochimaru had longed for, Sasuke Uchiha, who had shone brightly in the battle that day.

That day, after Orochimaru escaped, everyone looked at the unconscious Kimimaro and felt embarrassed for a moment.

"Not too old."

Tsunade said.

"He is a very pure ninja."

Jiraiya commented briefly.

"Probably, after hearing Orochimaru's last words, he lost his faith in living."

Naruto said, feeling sad in his heart.

He suddenly remembered the night when he was bewitched by Mizuki and went to steal the Sealed Book during his graduation year from the Ninja School.

At that time, I was hiding behind a big tree and heard Teacher Iruka say, "The demon fox will indeed make the wrong choice."

At that moment, he really wanted to give up on himself completely.

However, Teacher Iruka then continued: "But Uzumaki Naruto won't! Because he is my outstanding student!"

It was this sentence that saved my life.

Although it was only for a moment, Naruto knew exactly what it felt like.

It must be very painful to be abandoned by the one you love.

After Kimimaro fainted, Naruto said:

"You also heard it, Orochimaru said, he seems to be seriously ill. If we leave like this, he will definitely die."

Everyone was silent and looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade understood what everyone meant, so she stepped forward for simple diagnosis and treatment.

After a while, Tsunade stood up and said:

"The curse seal backfired and his vitality rapidly depleted. Although it was not fatal, his will to survive was already very weak.

"In addition, this child himself has a very serious blood disease, and his vitality is constantly draining away."

That's it, no wonder I always hear him coughing.

After learning this, everyone's judgment on Kimimaro's strength has improved to a higher level.

Strong, upright, tenacious and loyal.

For such a ninja, Konoha and the others couldn't help but admire him, even if he was an opponent whose lives were at stake.

And Orochimaru's ruthless abandonment of Kimimaro made people feel unworthy and sorry for him.

"Hokage-sama, what do you think?"

Neji, who had just been briefly treated by Tsunade, asked weakly.

"I have to take it back first, please, Tsunade."

Jiraiya thought for a long time before answering.

I can't bear to let him die.

Treat the patient in situ, but worry about letting the tiger return to the mountain.

After much hesitation, Jiraiya finally decided to take it back to Konoha for a long-term plan.

Hearing what Jiraiya said, Tsunade no longer hesitated and immediately used the Palm Senjutsu to stop Kimimaro's physical deterioration and save his life.

"Sasuke, what do you think?"

Just as he was about to set off, Jiraiya had another thought and asked Sasuke alone.

"Follow the Hokage-sama's arrangements."

Sasuke just felt baffled.

You have already made up your mind, but you still insist on asking me one more question.

It wasn't until today, when Kimimaro woke up, that Sasuke understood Jiraiya's cunning intentions.

"You are all of the same age, so it is easier to communicate.

"Besides, you agreed in the end to bring him back!"

After receiving the news that Kimimaro's injury was improving, Jiraiya immediately called Sasuke to the Hokage's office and assigned him a task.

I hope Sasuke can find out Kimimaro's current thoughts, and if possible, try to absorb him into Konoha's system.

"When did I have to do it?"
