[Comprehensive] Heart tree

After Jiraiya woke up, he immediately asked himself a series of questions: "Xiao Ying, when did you wake up? Tsunade, why did she let you out? Are you in good health? Why are you here?" Here? Who is following you to protect you now? Why are you wearing so little, it’s not good for your body... What time is it now? Have you eaten well? How is your sleep recently?... How do you know me Falling into the sea? Have you been discovered by Payne? It's too dangerous here, and you may be discovered at any time..."

He said a lot in one breath, and Hong Ying knelt quietly by the side, and after he finished speaking, she opened her mouth softly: "Master Zi Lai Ye."

She looked into his eyes, then lowered her head and said, "Can I not answer these questions?"

Ji Lai was also silent, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Just pretend I didn't ask, as long as you are safe and sound, nothing else matters."

There was silence in the hut, and both of them fell silent.

After a long time, Hong Ying broke the silence: "Master Jiraiya, do you know Obito Uchiha?"

"Uchiha Obito?"

"Ah."

"It seems to be Minato's disciple, who died a long time ago."

"Then can you tell me something about him?"

"Speaking of him, Kakashi should be the one who is most familiar with him. After all, they are partners and friends. They grew up together since childhood. I don't know much about him."

As he said that, Jilai also told what he knew about Obito Uchiha.

After listening, Hong Ying was silent for a while, and asked again: "Is that Nagato your disciple?"

Hearing this, Zilai was also silent.

"About the three of them, could you also tell me something?"

"They..." Zilai also fell into the memory, he remembered the first time he saw the three of them, it was also in such a rainy day.

Hongying listened silently.

"...Later, I received the news that they died, and I regretted it. I made a wrong choice again and dragged them into the torrent of the era of destruction..."

"I didn't expect that Nagato and Konan would become what they are now. If Yahiko was still alive, the two of them would not be like this. In the final analysis, it is my teacher's fault..."

"What they are doing now is wrong. As a teacher, I must correct them..."

Jiraiya also talked for a long time, and he said all the words accumulated in his heart for a long time, many of which he had never confided to other people, not even the other two who were Sannin.

After Zilaiya finished speaking, Hongying looked up at the place where the sign was hung, and asked, "Do you hate them?"

"..." Zilai didn't answer either.

"I see." Hong Ying didn't ask any further, it was time to take the medicine, she brought the medicine for Zilai to take, and after he finished eating, Hong Ying supported him to lie down and rest.

Zilai also looked at Hongying, and after a long while, he said, "Xiaoying, just ask me anything you want."

Hearing this, Hongying looked up at him, and said after a while: "Master Jiraiya, how much do you know about Uchiha?"

Jiraiya listened to her words silently.

"I've seen Uchiha Itachi."

"Master Jiraiya, he is in pain. He is in more pain than anyone I have ever seen. The pain is so painful that I feel like I am suffocating just standing next to him."

"I also saw Obito Uchiha."

"He is very desperate, so desperate that even with Uchiha Madara's name, he still doesn't know who he is."

"And Sasuke Uchiha."

"He is very contradictory. For him, every moment of his life is desperately trying to break off his own hands that are tightly choked around his neck."

"..."

"Uchiha, what kind of existence is it?"

Silence, only silence, this small room that has been silent for many years continues to be silent at this time.

Hongying took out the comb from her bosom, which was engraved with Uchiha's family emblem, she touched the pattern lightly with her hand, and the uneven lines passed through her hand, engraved into her heart little by little.

"My mother said, Uchiha is the best existence in the world."

"However, my mother also said that Uchiha is the worst existence in the world."

"..."

"Why did you do that to Uchiha?"

"Why did he choose Konoha?"

"Why did Akatsuki take such a path?"

"Why did the hero boy that Mr. Kakashi said become like that?"

"Why was there the birth of Hinjuriki?"

"Why did they treat Naruto like that?"

"Why build a village?"

"What is Ninja World?"

"What is a ninja?"

"Why did the Sage of the Six Paths spread the Ninja sect?"

"Why is there such a thing as chakra?"

"Why is there always so much bloodshed?"

"Why is there always hatred between people?"

"Why is there a war?"

"Why do weak countries cry in the wars of great powers?"

……

She asked many, many questions that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, but she couldn't answer any of them, only silence.

Many days later, Zilai was also surprised to find that he had almost recovered, and what surprised him even more was that his body seemed much younger. He walked to the water's edge, and a young, handsome, manly figure appeared on the surface of the water. s face.

Jilai couldn't believe his eyes. He looked into the water carefully, and finally confirmed that he was not old-eyed and dim-sighted. The face in the water was his 30-year-old appearance.

At this time, Hongying was coming out from the other end of the basement.

Ji Lai also immediately left from the water's edge, since he promised not to ask anything, he would not ask.

On a rainy afternoon, the two left the hut.

After leaving the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Rain, Hongying stopped at an intersection, she looked at the trees in the distance, and said: "Master Zilaiya, I have some things that I have to do, and I can't go on the same road with you .”

"Is it about those questions?"

Hongying nodded.

"Xiaoying, the answers to those questions are not only what you want to know, but I also want to know."

Hearing this, Hongying couldn't help but look at him, the summer sun was pouring on him, and the white hair was also shining brightly.

Zilai also reached out and touched Hongying's head, smiling brighter than the sun: "Can you, let me go with you to find the answer?"

Hongying was stunned for a while, and it took a while to come back to her senses. She turned her head away and nodded slightly.

The land of fire, the land of wind, the land of earth, the land of thunder, the land of water, the land of rivers, the land of rain, the land of grass, the land of taki, the land of frost, the land of fields, the land of iron, the land of soup Country, Country of Vortex...

If Hongying's itinerary was marked on the map, the dense lines would cover these countries on the map. In just a few months, she and Zilai also traveled quietly to most countries in the world.

Then, after an absence of three years, she set foot on the land of the country of Ke again.

Hongying stands on a tall tree, looking at the poinciana she is so familiar with, it is now in flowering period, and the flame-like Danxia color is blooming among the lush branches and leaves, matching the red palace wall Cheng Hui.Inside the red wall, people in groups of twos and threes stroll along the embankment.

Hongying stared at the tree for a long time without speaking.

Seeing that she didn't go down, Zilai also patted Hongying's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoying, I'm here."

Hongying looked at him, then at the poinciana tree, and finally made up her mind to jump off the tree.

After walking a few steps, Hongying turned her head and looked up at Zilaiye.

Ji Lai also waved at her, and said silently, "Go."

When the red couplets came out again, the setting sun was about to end, and the night would soon cover the earth.

By the time they returned to this continent, the flames of war had already raged all over the world.

The daimyos from all over the world were protected centrally, and Hongying and Zilai were also spared. Hongying was about to go to the place where the daimyos were, and Zilai also stopped her.

"Xiaoying, take a break first, you haven't eaten for a long time, and your body will not be able to bear it if you continue like this."

Zilai also took Hongying to a very famous shop and ordered a lot of things.

After the food was served, Zilai also put two of them in front of Hong Ying, saying: "The tamagoyaki and yokan here are very delicious, and they are the signature delicacies of this store. These two delicacies from the store just so happen to be, Xiaoying, you like these two the most, try them."

Hearing this, Hong Ying picked up the chopsticks, tasted a piece of tamagoyaki, and another piece of yokan, and then slowly ate them all.

Seeing that Hongying, who usually eats very little, finished the tamagoyaki and yokan, Zilai was also very happy. After she finished eating, he also picked up chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Hongying said softly: "Sorry, Master Ziraiya, I have to leave for a while."

Hearing this, Zilai also waved his hand and said, "Go."

He naturally knew what hongying meant, whenever she went to the bathroom, she would say such words.

Beside the white toilet, Hongying leaned on the wall with one hand and stroked his chest with the other, gulping out what he ate just now, dry, sticky balls of blurred objects fell intermittently into the toilet.

After a long time, Hongying finally vomited out all the contents of the esophagus. She stroked her chest. After a long time, she reached out and pressed the flush button. With the sound of flushing, the chaotic objects disappeared without a trace.

After the break, the two rushed to the temporary residences of daimyos from various countries.

When they arrived, Mizukage had already left, and only Chojuro, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, remained here.

The red couplets stood in front of the door, and they didn't go in for a long time.

"Go, Xiaoying, I will always wait for you outside." Zilai also said softly.

Hongying looked up at him, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Master Ziraiya, what should we do if we fail?"

"Don't worry, Xiaoying, you will succeed."

The author has something to say:

Speaking of which, Zilai was really handsome when he was young.

I can’t salivate, swallow food dryly, and retch it again. The taste is so beautiful that I dare not think about it_(:з」∠)_

The next chapter is the frontal anus of the Four Wars.
