Not long after Hokage's succession ceremony, the Land of Fire and the Land of Uzumaki concluded an alliance.In exchange, at the end of this spring, the fourth generation of Hokage Kazunami married his wife—the noble daughter of the Uzumaki Kingdom, Uzumaki Kina.

She was a gentle yet lively woman with a noble status and a picturesque appearance. There were also a large number of admirers in the country. Standing with the young and handsome Hokage, they were a perfect couple.

Another year passed after that.

"Everyone."

The red-haired woman smiled softly, and handed the hot tea she made to her husband.

"It's late, is there anything embarrassing at work?"

"Ah... Actually, it doesn't count."

Feng Feng rubbed his eyes tiredly, "It's just..."

"It's just that Oshemaru-sama isn't awake yet?"

Uzumaki Chena clearly showed a comforting smile, stretched out her finger and stood behind him and rubbed gently, "If that lord, it will definitely be fine."

"...Sorry, knowing that you are pregnant with a child, but still mentioning such a thing in front of you."

After a while of silence, deep tiredness appeared in the eyes of everyone, "I haven't rested so late, did it disturb you?"

"Will not,"

Chenai shook her head gently, she walked in front of Jieren, looked him straight in the eyes, "I just can't sleep."

The woman sighed softly, and stretched out her hand to paint his hair and eyes, "Recently, as soon as I close my eyes, Shinichi's face will appear in front of my eyes... because the child is about to be born. I really hope he To be like his father and you, with blue eyes and blond hair."

"……sorry."

Uzumaki Chena smiled softly, "You're still so gentle, Juren. It's not your fault at all, isn't it? The ones who killed Shinichi were those elders who wanted to marry me as a political bargaining chip."

"Even if it wasn't you, I would still marry someone else."

"A person like me should never fall in love with someone sincerely, because that would just kill the other person. But at the time, I always didn't believe it, or I was unwilling to believe it, so now Make things like this. I should be the one who killed Shinichi."

"If it wasn't for my willfulness, if it wasn't for me wanting something that doesn't belong to me, how could Shinichi die because of me?"

"Qina..."

Uzumaki Chenai took a deep breath, and then her agitated breathing calmed down, and the despair and sadness in her eyes also disappeared.She lowered her head and stroked her stomach tenderly, with firm and endless expectations flashing in her eyes, as if that was her whole world.

"Speaking of which, Jie Ren, if it wasn't for you, I believe this child would have been lost for a long time... And when I got married, I was even prepared to force him to die,"

She said this, showing a slight smile, "But what I didn't expect was that you apologized to me first, saying that you already have someone you like, so you can't be with me. You will do your best to husband all the responsibilities, but there was no way to force my heart. Hehe, I was almost stunned at the time."

Everyone in the wind recalled the scene at that time, and his face was also stained with a layer of blush.He turned his face away, the light shone on his handsome side face, outlining tall and mature lines.

"I'm very happy, everyone. I can't describe my feelings at that time, because my child was saved. But after that, I found that I was actually luckier."

"Because you are an overly gentle person. Now I am really very happy,"

The woman's eyes flashed with sincere concern, "Jieren, I like you. Not as a lover or husband and wife, but as your relatives, so I hope you can also get your own happiness."

She gently stretched out her hand to wrap around Si Dai's head, making him stick to her swollen belly.Gentle warmth and a strange heartbeat passed through the layer of fabric, and the ancient rhythm gradually soothed the restless heart.

"Listen, it's amazing, right?"

The woman smiled softly, "Every time I feel the little life I am gestating, I feel that everything is full of hope again, so everyone is human, this is magic."

"……what?"

Everyone closed his eyes and asked quietly.

"This is the magic that can give people courage. As long as I have it, I feel fearless."

"Everyone, don't do things that you regret."

"My story with Shinichi, I don't want to see it repeated with others."

After a moment of silence, she was answered with a deep sigh.

Orochimaru knew very well that his time was running out.No one understood this life that was beginning to flow by better than himself.

His hair began to turn gray little by little from the roots, and his sleepiness became longer and longer, and his anger seemed to gradually disappear from this body, but even though he was unconscious, his consciousness was very clear.

Does it make people feel their own slow death soberly?It's really... worthy of the curse that caused the Caozhi family to perish.

Such a self is no longer suitable to be a ninja.

Orochimaru calmly completed an SS-rank mission after waking up for the last time, and then he fell into a deep sleep... Maybe he will still wake up, maybe never again.

But he doesn't care about this, his journey is far from over, even if he feels the passing time, he will not feel lonely or afraid.

He looked down at this body in the darkness, and those fragments of the past kept appearing in front of his eyes like lights.He watched those initial memories carefully, and raised the corners of his lips amidst the cruelty that had been repeated countless times.

People are like this, even if the joy is just such a small point, but just a second of indulging, people have the courage to fly moths to the flame.

When he was tired, he cleared his mind and began to think about the ways of perfecting various forces.He sketched and simulated various ninjutsu scenarios in his own consciousness, and developed several new techniques.

In this way, I don't know how long time has passed.A warm breath suddenly appeared in his body, it slowly walked around his body, and then quickly melted into his blood.

Orochimaru was shocked to feel his slowly recovering vitality, what is going on?
