Cemetery

The opening ceremony of Konoha Ninja School gradually came to an end under the auspices of Ohnoki.

With the end of the class separation ceremony, Ninja School officially entered a new school year.

At the same time, a piece of news also spread among the ninja school.

That is, after the final exam at the end of the year, the Third Hokage Onoki will accept several outstanding students as disciples.

As the news spread, the children in the ninja school started practicing with enthusiasm.

However, children’s passion comes and goes quickly.

After just one week, most of the children no longer have that much energy to practice.

The only exception is the two children.

“Ah~, let’s forget it…”

Jiraiya lay on the ground, looking at the sky with dull eyes.

From practicing in the morning to the afternoon, he was already exhausted.

“Does it really make sense for me to practice like this? Will the Third Generation accept me as a disciple?”

Jiraiya squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.

These days, although he can feel that he is getting stronger, the degree of strength is really too limited. He really doesn’t know what the meaning is if he continues to practice like this.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, the disdainful expression Orochimaru looked at him on the day of the opening ceremony appeared in Jiraiya’s mind.

“No!”

Thinking of this scene, Jiraiya instantly stood up like a carp: “I must let that guy Orochimaru know the price of underestimating Lord Jiraiya!”

Under Orochimaru’s stimulation, Jiraiya once again I cheered up and started practicing.

And this is also one of the important qualities that will enable Jiraiya to become a strong man in the future.

Although he sometimes becomes decadent, he can quickly adjust himself and does not need encouragement from others at all.

It is precisely because of his optimistic personality that he can support him to keep up with Orochimaru and Tsunade, and finally achieve the title of Toad Sage Jiraiya.

On the other side, Orochimaru was also practicing in his yard.

The Second Ninja World War was extremely tragic. Not only did many adult ninjas die, but many children were forced to go to the battlefield and became young heroes who defended Konoha.

Orochimaru’s parents were two of the adult ninjas who died.

Therefore, Orochimaru, whose parents both died, can only use practice to numb himself every day, so as to temporarily get rid of the sadness of losing his parents.

Only when he is really tired from practicing and can’t move, will he lie down and think quietly about what life is and what the meaning of life is.

“Hoo, ho…”

After practicing for an unknown amount of time, Orochimaru lay down exhausted, looking at the setting sun in the west, causing endless thoughts in his heart.

Konoha Memorial Garden.

Here are buried the heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect Konoha during the First Ninja War and the Second Ninja War.

Among them are the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama, the second generation Hokage Uchiha Madara who failed to take office, the Senju Tobirama who replaced Uchiha Madara as the second generation Hokage, and Onoki’s real teacher Mu.

In addition to them, Tsunade’s parents, Orochimaru’s parents, etc., many Konoha ninjas are buried here.

“Are you also coming to visit your teacher?”

In front of Wu’s tombstone, Onoki floated in the air, his eyes turned to the tombstone of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama not far away.

Although these two people were buried in the Kingdom of Waves by Golden Horn and others from the Dawn Empire, the ANBU of Konoha who subsequently went to the Kingdom of Waves to investigate did not leave Senju Tobirama and Mu’s bodies in the Kingdom of Waves. He chose to dig it out, bring it back to Konoha, and rebury it in Konoha Cemetery.

Therefore, Ohnoki and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have to travel all the way to the Land of Waves to worship their teacher.

Hearing the sound, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, hesitated for a moment and then nodded: “Yes, the Third Hokage.”

Although Ohnoki snatched the position of the Third Hokage from his hands, Hiruzen Sarutobi I don’t have much hatred for Ono Yuki.

As Onoki said, he and Danzo were the guards of the Second Hokage, but what happened in the end?

The two guards were protected by the Second Hokage, a leader who needed to be protected, and then fled back to Konoha.

This sentence was a decisive blow to Sarutobi Hiruzen at that time.

After the election of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not get over this sentence for a long time.

It wasn’t until the Second Ninja War went on for a long time that Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly returned to his previous mental state.

At the same time, he also wanted to understand that perhaps Onoki was indeed more suitable for the position of the Third Hokage than him.

Therefore, for Onoki, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen now recognized him from the bottom of his heart.

“Let’s take a walk together.”

Onoki floated towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although he is short in stature, he has the temperament of a leader, and his movements are full of majesty and oppression.

“Okay.”

Facing Onoki’s invitation, Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed without much hesitation.

Afterwards, the two slowly took a walk in the cemetery.

Ah no, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who took a walk in the cemetery alone, because the large wild trees were floating.

“How do you feel about being the Jonin squad leader recently?” Onoki said calmly.

“It’s okay.” Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

“What’s there…”

The two of them were walking and chatting, and slowly, a short figure appeared in front of them.

I saw Orochimaru standing quietly in front of a tombstone, holding a white snake skin in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Is it Orochimaru?” Onoki whispered.

“Does the Third Generation know him too?” Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

Onoki nodded: “Yes, he is a very talented child. I have been paying attention to him for a long time. I plan to accept him as my disciple during the Chinese New Year.”

“Is this so…” Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, and then nodded with a smile. Head: “Orochimaru is indeed a genius.”

“Go over and take a look.”

Orochimaru held the white snake skin in his hand and looked at his parents’ tombstones in silence.

What exactly is life?

What is the meaning of life?

Why did mom and dad sacrifice themselves?

As if he sensed someone coming from behind, Orochimaru turned around and looked at the person.

“Sandaime-sama!”

“Sarutobi-sama!”

After seeing the appearance of the visitor, Orochimaru immediately greeted him politely.

“Orochimaru, do you want to pay homage to your parents?”

Ohnoki touched Orochimaru’s head.

“Yeah.” Orochimaru nodded.

“Sorry, as Hokage, I have caused countless children like you to lose their parents. This is my dereliction of duty.”

Ohnoki sighed and fell to the ground, his eyes looking at Orochimaru.

At this moment, even though Onoki was as tall as Orochimaru, for some reason Orochimaru always felt that he was looking up to the Third Generation.
