When I was chased at the beginning, I opened my kaleidoscope instantly!

"???"

Uchiha Jing was ecstatic in his heart.

What the hell!

This aura is so awesome!

As long as the forbidden technique conforms to the logical theory, it will be successfully developed!

This is completely different from the aura characteristics of [Ninja Professor]. The former can only learn existing ninjutsu including known forbidden techniques.

But the latter...

It is to directly develop unknown forbidden techniques.

And as long as the logic theory is correct, the development will be successful directly! !

This is much easier than Senju Tobirama who spent many years studying. As expected of my second brother, this surprise is too great.

Qianju Tobirama said with emotion: "It's a pity that eldest brother can't see you. Otherwise, we three brothers can have a good drink together."

"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Ah? What did you say?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just said it casually."

Uchiha Mirror was so happy that he forgot everything.

I almost spilled the beans, seeing Senju Tobirama's suspicious look on his face, as if he wanted to explore this issue.

but……

Suddenly, Anbu appeared and said anxiously.

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade's younger brother... Naoki was killed in battle."

"What! When?!"

"Not long ago, the body was returned. Tsunade will return to the village soon. Hiruzen-sama and his two students will be there."

"I'll be there right away. Mirror, you come with me."

"it is good!"

The two looked at each other.

Naoki is Tsunade's biological brother.

Tsunade is Hashirama's granddaughter and Tsunade's second uncle.

Although the two of them are not actually close due to personality reasons, they certainly cannot ignore it due to their blood relationship.

The two used Flying Thunder God...

We arrived at a wooden house in the mountains behind Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the door, and next to him were two young men who were probably only in their twenties, both wearing jounin vests. One had long white hair and a very sad expression.

The other one had black hair and long golden pupils.

The purple eyeshadow extends to the wings of her nose, her skin is pale and bloodless, and she wears a pair of magatama-shaped earrings on her ears.

Saw someone coming...

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Teacher, you are here."

"Hokage-sama, Kagami... Kagami-sama."

Jiraiya and Orochimaru stopped talking.

He bowed slightly to the second generation and the accompanying mirror.

Although they are not so willing, after all, Jing is not much older than them, but their seniority is really ridiculously high.

Even their teacher...

That is to say, we have a good relationship in private and don’t need to hold the mirror up to our seniors.

And he, Jiraiya and Kagami have almost no interaction in private, let alone the second generation Hokage in person. Do you dare to try to be rude?

Senju Tobirama walked in...

I saw the bloody rope tree, which had long since lost its voice.

The most important thing is that the death scene was so tragic. The whole body was blown into several pieces and was so charred that it was completely unrecognizable from its original appearance.

Senju Tobirama glanced at them: "What's going on? How did the rope tree die?"

"It was the advance troops from Yanyin Village who made a sudden attack. I led a small team to support. The rope tree accidentally fell into the trap and was killed by the detonating talisman."

Orochimaru looked guilty: "The boy Naoki was very brave on the battlefield, but I should pay more attention to it. It is my responsibility."

"Don't talk about responsibility. This is the fate of ninjas. You are the teacher of the rope tree, and now you... are more heartbroken than anyone else."

Senju Tobirama glanced at the silent mirror.

He had quarreled with himself before, also because of these young children.

Jing said that some children were even killed by a detonating talisman, without any coping strategies at all, and now it has all come true.

The sacred tree was only a little over ten years old and lost its young life.

perhaps……

Should something really be done?

At least, the lives of these children cannot be allowed to go in vain.

Although Kagami was also a little sad, at this moment he was more secretly sizing up Orochimaru.

It seems that in the original work, it was Naoki's death that made him realize the fragility of life, and then Kato Sugi deepened his philosophy.

From now on...

He is out of control on the road to science.

Not long after, Tsunade arrived but was stopped by Orochimaru, who also handed her a green necklace.

"Forget it, don't look at it. You may not be able to accept the appearance of the rope tree. This is the necklace you gave him before going to the battlefield."

"My rope tree..."

Tsunade burst into tears.

Her hand was holding the necklace tightly, and her whole person seemed to have lost her soul.

The death of Shengshu did not affect the continuation of the war. Instead, it became more intense as time went by. Shengshu was buried in the back mountain that night.

Tsunade was so sad that she fainted and was sent to the medical department.

Jiraiya blamed himself for failing to take good care of Tsunade's younger brother, lying alone in the tavern drinking and feeling depressed.

night……

In front of the newly erected tombstone.

Orochimaru stared quietly, his expression seemed very indifferent.

But as everyone knows, as the only teacher of Shengshu, the sadness in his heart is not much worse than that of others, but he doesn't like to show it on the surface.

"Human life is really fragile."

Orochimaru said hoarsely: "Even the mighty ninja god Senju Hashirama cannot fight against death. What can I do?"

"No, there will always be a way. If you can... it's not a bad idea not to be a human being."

"What a great idea! I applaud you!"

"who?"

Suddenly.

A soft voice came from around.

Orochimaru suddenly became vigilant and saw the young man walking towards him who was wearing a jounin vest but with the Uchiha clan emblem tattooed on his shoulder.

"Mirror...Master Jing?"

Orochimaru said reluctantly: "What...are you doing here?"

Uchiha Kage said very kindly: "There is no need to be formal, Orochimaru, you and I are of the same age, we can call you whatever you want in private."

"Thank you very much, otherwise I would be really awkward."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "But I'm very curious... It's so late, why does the strongest man of the Uchiha clan come to see me?"

"You... want to resurrect the Rope Tree?"

"what?"

Orochimaru looked shocked: "Resurrection? Is there such a taboo technique in the ninja world?"

Uchiha Mirror replied: "There are many taboo techniques, and of course you can't access them now, but I happen to know this technique, and let me tell you a secret news, my second brother... that is, the second generation Hokage can also do it."

"Then...then why..." Orochimaru didn't understand.

"You want to say why this kind of technique can't be used to resurrect the sacrificed people? It's not that it can't be done, but it requires a "living" sacrifice to perform this technique."

Uchiha Mirror said calmly: "Also, people after resurrection will have some minor disadvantages, but people after resurrection will not die, and their chakra will not be exhausted. Except for sealing techniques, they are almost impossible to target."

"I proposed to the second generation before..."

"Using some criminals to resurrect people from some villages to form an "immortal" army can completely serve as cannon fodder, but due to the bottom line of morality...my second brother did not agree to this plan."

"But I still don't understand, why did you choose me?"

Orochimaru still did not let down his guard: "What is your purpose? I don't believe it... you are just trying to help me."

Uchiha Jing said with a smile: "My purpose is very simple. My second brother is not young anymore and will abdicate as Hokage sooner or later."

"When the time comes...I will help you become the Third Hokage!!"
