[Comprehensive] A good snake has a safe life

Sarutobi was actually very frightened all the time.

Ever since Shelley was notified of his death in battle by Danzo, Kagami has fallen into a very strange state—he seems to be very depressed, and there is a little sentimentality in that depression, but when he usually speaks, most people Everyone felt that Kagami was nothing, like a man who quickly recovered from the shock of losing his wife, but only Sarutobi and the others could vaguely feel that Kagami's eyes had a sense of disappointment that saw through everything.

"Mirror won't become a monk."

Qiudao thought while eating potato chips, and felt that his family members had such a possibility.Mito was taken aback by this thought, and turned around every day to talk to Kagami.Uchiha seemed to understand the worries of his classmates, but after being talked about many times, he was a bit overwhelmed, and finally transferred the pressure to others.

"Instead of looking for me, it's better to talk to Orochimaru." He found Sarutobi: "That child, oh..."

It was only then that Yuanfei remembered about his precious apprentice, an urgent call called the young man on the border back, hesitating and hawing, he didn't know what to say.

Orochimaru was tall and tall, and looked at his teacher with a cold face, just as at a loss as the Huaichun girl, and finally expressed his feelings to the teacher kindly.

"I direct what the teacher wants to say, and I'm really upset."

Orochimaru looked at the ceiling, and after a long time, he let out a long breath: "I'm very sad, I couldn't say a word to Shelley well before parting, but...it's impossible to stay where I am."

The boy suddenly remembered what Shelley said before his classmate's funeral.

"Even if there is still sadness and sorrow in my heart, people still have to move forward." Da Shewan had a lot of things in his heart, but it finally turned into this sentence: "I am not a child now, and I can't let others stay where I am." stay with me."

What he said was so incoherent that he couldn't make sense of the words, as if it came out of nowhere.But Sarutobi understood, because he saw the scene where Shelley and Orochimaru went home.

The young boy who had just visited his parents' grave held Shelley's hand, and walked towards home reluctantly.His steps were smaller than Shelley's, so he had to go faster to keep up with Shelley's steps.But at that time, Orochimaru walked very firmly, as if there was nothing in front of her that could stop her from taking a look.

"Compared to me, teacher should care more about the mirror, right?" Orochimaru added when he was about to leave: "Oh, and Danzo-sama. I think the two of them look fine, but they are very broken inside."

Sarutobi was educated in this way by the students, thought about it, and finally went to Danzo.

Shimura Danzo was on his annual leave at that time, so he stayed at home and woke up at noon every day, drinking beer at night, and his life should not be too happy.After returning to the village with Uchiha, he was busy with Anbe's affairs, and then asked for leave and stayed at home.

Sarutobi had seen it once before, and thought Danzo was nothing but tired.But after hearing what Orochimaru said, I went to see it again.

As a result, Danzo was not at home.

Sarutobi thought a lot about what Danzo did, and finally found Danzo at school under Xiaochun's guidance.

This guy was sitting on a nearby hillside, watching the kids in gym class.The head of Anbu's vacation was blank and didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't come back to his senses until Sarutobi approached.

This was simply unimaginable before.

Danzo, did you really collapse too?

Sarutobi remembered his worries when Shelley was under Danzo, and now he became nervous again.He coughed twice and sat next to his old friend.

"are you OK?"

"Just say what you want to say." Danzo rejected Sarutobi's routine: "I don't want to waste energy talking to you now."

Why is my Third Generation so devoid of dignity?

The third generation, who always couldn't find a trace of respect in front of his apprentices and classmates, sighed: "I just came to see you, how are you feeling now?"

"Compared to caring about me, why don't you go and see Uchiha and Orochimaru." Danzo glanced at Sarutobi: "According to logic, the two of them should be taken care of the most."

His one-eyed eye didn't look so scary now, and the kid's ball was kicked sideways and landed on them.Danzo picked it up and threw it back, hearing the thanks from the children.

"I've already gone to see them, and they both seem to be quite normal, so I'll come and see you."

Yuan Fei stretched his waist: "By the way, before the basilisk left, was there really nothing abnormal?"

"Didn't you eat half a leg of lamb? Isn't that abnormal?"

"...Who told you this, hello!"

Sarutobi lay on the grass: "I was thinking, what exactly is a basilisk... I always feel that her appearance is of great significance to some extent."

Danzo's eyes flashed: "My vacation is over next week. Between now and before I go to work, don't let me see your face again?"

"..."

Sarutobi quickly got up and returned to the office, and by the way, put incense sticks on the teacher.

Teacher, are you okay in heaven, apprentice, I am still a third generation who is disliked today.

Danzo stayed in the school for a long time, and when he was about to leave, he saw the children of Hatake's family.Sakumo Hatake saw the leader of Anbu, and rushed over happily with all his hands and feet.

"Danzo-sama, I did a C-level task today, and it was done very well." The child almost raised his tail to the sky: "Is it closer to the gate of Anbu?"

"……probably."

Hatake Sakumo's little tail drooped down, but it turned up again: "Is it a little closer than Jiraiya-senpai?"

Danzo thought for a moment, then nodded.

Anyway, Sakumo Hatake was very happy, and by the way, he gave Danzo a pack of his favorite flower cakes, and then ran away.The black-haired man looked at the things in his hand, thinking that he didn't like sweets, so who should he give this bag of things in his hand.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally arrived at the cemetery.

Go inside two steps and turn right, there is a new tombstone under the hillside.Shelley's stuff was buried here just a few days ago - her body disappeared, but at last it was discussed and it was decided to bury some clothes and erect a monument.

The text on the tablet is only the word Shelley, and there is no prefix like Uchiha—King thought about it later, and said that Shelley is only famous because she is "Shelley", plus a Uchiha Waves are also not necessary.

"And I'm with her, so it has nothing to do with Uchiha." Kagami sighed: "That's it."

So that's it.

Shelley's funeral was simple, attended by no more than a hundred people.Counting them and the people in Anbu and the school, after presenting flowers respectively, they were buried in such a simple way.

Kagami stood there in black, and Dashemaru stood beside him.Danzo saw the man pat the boy on the shoulder, the two looked at each other, and finally offered the last two flowers.

It must be said that a heroine with a horizontal bar and a tail should be buried with honor, at least let the whole world know how proud Konoha is of this person.But one is that the mirror hopes to keep a low profile, and the other is that it is afraid that being too high-profile will lead to unreasonable ideas from other countries.

Ninjas are probably like this. They are bound to be bound a lot when they are born. Even after death, they have to hold a funeral that they may not even like because of various considerations.

Danzo put the flower cake in front of Shelley's tombstone, pulled out the weeds by the way, looked at it for a while and then went back.He bought two small jugs of sake on the way, and planned to drink it for himself tonight—his vacation was almost exhausted, and it was rare for him to be alone, and he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

But at night, someone knocked on the door again, and Danzo looked upset, only to find that Jing came over with two bottles of wine.

"I heard that you are going back to work again. I always wanted to find a time to have a drink with you, so I came here immediately."

Uchiha smiled, looking embarrassed, but came in directly.

This person looks more and more like Sarutobi now, with a thick skin.

Danzo slandered a bit, but didn't say anything. Instead, he took the wine glass, and the two of them went up to the top of the building.

It was actually quite cold at night, but after drinking two sips of wine, it warmed up—Danzo bought a low-strength alcohol, but the wine he brought with him was spirits.He raised his head and drank a glass, and after a while he was already a little drunk.

Just like Shelley.

Danzo remembered how this man looked when he went to the border. He stood at the place where Shelley disappeared for a long, long time.Danzo has been wondering if the mirror will lose control, but this guy is just thinking about something with a vague expression.

Just like they did at the teacher's funeral.

"In fact, I used to really think that maybe we are tools, and we survived either for the country or for the village."

Looking at the moon in the mirror, I don't know what I remembered: "It's like the first generation, who has made a lot of efforts for peace, and the teacher and the others have also dedicated their lives to the world. In my opinion, being able to contribute is actually It’s a virtue of courage, the virtue of being willing to make life better for others even if you give up that little bit of yourself.”

"If you think like that, why don't all the ninjas go to work for nothing?"

Danzo took a sip of wine by himself: "Sometimes what I hate about you is your silly and sweet fantasy, full of the innocence of a son-in-law."

"I thought you would be more reserved."

"If you can remember what I said today." Danzo said indifferently: "But I guess half a bottle of wine will be broken wherever you go tonight."

Uchiha Kagami doesn't drink very much, one is that he doesn't like it at all, and the other is that the other one in the family doesn't drink at all, so Kagami has become like this over time.

Jing smiled: "Danzo, I have always felt that dedication is a virtue."

"but?"

"But it should be based on 'I have', rather than simply thinking 'I should'." Jing sighed: "Shelley is right."

This seemed to be the first time he mentioned the name of the basilisk after the funeral.

Danzo raised his eyelids and took another sip of wine with an unclear expression: "Being able to change your mind now means that you are not hopeless."

"You obviously scolded me in your heart."

Danzo didn't deny it, and continued to drink his wine.Jing glanced at his old classmate, and drank a glass of wine himself.

"I talked about this problem with Shelley before, but that guy always made a face at me every time, as if he couldn't explain it to me. I was actually quite distressed, and I didn't think I could explain it to her. But this time I It seems that I suddenly understood that no matter what it is like in normal times, if life is gone, there is really nothing left.”

When Jing was about to die, she also thought about whether Shelley would cry for him. After struggling for a long time, she finally felt that it would be best if Shelley could calmly accept this fact and continue to live happily.

But ah, he is still not reconciled.

When he thought that the smile he was dreaming of would belong to someone else, when he thought that the man who held her hand was no longer him, when he thought that there were still many things and places he could not do with her in the past, his heart There is a great sense of guilt and regret.

He wants to live.

He also wants to watch Orochimaru grow up with Shelley, and even marry a wife and have children; he also wants to watch the new batch of children grow up in a more free and relaxed environment, without having to be tortured by the war like they were when they were young. He even wanted to go to various countries with Shelley after the five-power peace agreement and take some pictures.

Perhaps one day he will be able to teach Shelley how to swim.

What if.

Standing in front of that carousel-like thing, he watched another story from another world, and suddenly thought about whether his previous recklessness was really worth it.

And he would never know what happened in this world again.

He would be stripped from that world, and everything that happened would have nothing to do with him anymore.

Whether the country is peaceful or not, whether the village is good or bad, does Uchiha still exist today?

Is Shelley happy or angry today? Did Orochimaru piss her off again? Is there anything out of the ordinary in Anbu today? Did Danzo do something secretly behind his back?

How's the weather today?

If it rains, doesn't it seem that Shelley stays at home and doesn't want to go out?

If the weather is fine today, will she take the children out to play at school?

Is it snowing today?Is it cold?

Does Shelley still love him?

He will know nothing.

It was probably at that time that he finally understood the meaning of Shelley's eyes looking at him.

Ninjas are not tools, and neither is the village.

Everyone in this world has a soul, with his own love and hate.

Objectifying yourself into a tool, becoming a sharp weapon and minion in the hands of others, will only make yourself hurt and sad in the end.

Because no one can suppress their emotions forever.

nobody.

This is probably why the second generation is always worried about him.

Perhaps for a while, his ego was suppressed by his so-called great love, but his ego will not never sprout.

Jing even thought about what would happen if he didn't die at the age of 25 in that world.

"Forget it, go back to sleep after drinking some more."

Danzo said suddenly: "I think you are about to fall."

"I'm just drinking less, it's not that I can't drink." Jing sat back and poured himself another glass: "You were able to think of Shelley at that time, was it because...you had already thought about everything gone?"

"No." Danzang was honest: "I just think it's unfair."

"?"

"It's just unfair, I felt that way a long time ago." Danzang said: "As a human being, others enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital, but the people in the village have made great contributions despite their hardships, but they still don't get the benefits of others." identification, even as a tool to be thrown away. I don’t think it’s fair.”

In fact, he also endured his own thoughts at first, but felt that Konoha should have a better life.

"If necessary, it's good to create a war and let others realize the importance of the village." Danzo actually had this idea when he contacted Sanshoyu Hanzo, but slowly changed: "If it wasn't for that guy , Maybe that’s what I’m doing. I’ve never thought of rebelling against the Qing emperor and cultivating a new daimyo.”

This is real.

Because Danzo itself just figured out a way around the village, and never broke through to a higher level.He poured himself a glass of wine and put it in the warming jug: "If I hadn't taken this path, I would probably have thought of holding the village in my hands first, and then go to other villages."

The mirror froze for a moment, remembering the other world he saw.

"It's a good thing you didn't do that." He clinked a glass with Danzo: "Otherwise you and Sarutobi would have turned against each other."

"It's as if I must stick to him." Danzang snorted: "It's good enough that he can do a good job on the bright side. It's better not to reach out to the dark side. Otherwise, I will definitely beat him."

Jing shook his head: "Yuan Fei also worked very hard, don't talk about him like that, he might cry."

"That guy once checked Orochimaru's house with a crystal ball, and then 'accidentally' saw the basilisk taking a bath."

"Where is Yuanfei." Jing almost threw the cup: "I'm going to kill him."

In the end, it was Danzo who held Uchiha back: "It's been a long time ago, calm down, it's not too late to go tomorrow."

Jing thinks so, sits down and continues to drink.The two of them suddenly fell into a very peaceful state, and everyone didn't say anything, just drinking wine without talking.

"But in fact, I think my life is actually complete now."

In the end, Uchiha raised his head and looked at the moon: "I almost died for the village, met someone I like again, and raised a problem child, Orochimaru."

"Oshemaru hasn't passed puberty yet." Danzo complained from the side: "Don't be too happy too early."

"...Yes. Jing pressed his forehead: "Speaking of it, Tuan, raising children is really hard. "

"The basilisk has told me many times, I don't want to listen to you anymore." Danzang flatly refused to listen to the complaint: "Besides, Orochimaru is a peace of mind. I have never been particularly rebellious. And most of the problems The basilisk has been dealt with, and you have nothing to worry about except teaching ninjutsu."

"That's right." Jing said, "So up to now, I haven't actually done anything for them."

He is deeply in love with the family, but in fact he has not contributed as much as he imagined.He recalled everything he had done for the village before, and thought about Shelley.

"Don't you do housework?" Danzo reminded him: "The basilisk doesn't do housework anyway. If it weren't for you, Orochimaru's life would be miserable."

"……probably."

Uchiha smiled: "In the end, I found that I just barely passed."

"If you say that this kind of thing doesn't work, it's only when others rate it."

Danzo drank so much, but he didn't look drunk.Compared to the Jonin next to him who already looked like he was about to cry, he was so calm and sober: "If you really want to know how you are doing, you'd better ask Orochimaru to rate it. Self-reflection here is also a good idea." It's useless, and it will annoy me even more."

"Anyway, it's a dear friend. Is it okay to listen to complaints now?"

"You are almost forty, and your son has entered the rebellious period, don't be so naive, okay?" Danzang's temples are throbbing: "If you have a mid-life crisis, it's fine, and it's troublesome for me to be short on my parents every day. ah."

"I thought you'd like to hear what I had to say about Shelley?"

"Then you are talking about it? It turned out that you have been talking about yourself for a long time." Danzang really couldn't hold back: "I look like a Chinese who has analyzed his own thoughts and expressed regret for the serious lack of participation in family affairs. Are you interested in the mental journey of young people?"

"……sad."

"You are not Sarutobi, why do you learn from him?"

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing this sentence, Danzo finally stopped his fire.

"After finishing the next paragraph, I will probably visit the orphanage and adopt two children."

Danzo thought for a while: "Sometimes when I look at you, I think it's really interesting to raise children."

"The child is disobedient, so don't beat the child."

"..."

"Really, that kid Orochimaru is. Shelley wanted to hang him up and beat him countless times." Kagami sighed: "I was almost beaten by the way once."

"……understood."

Danzo drank the last glass of wine: "Go back."

As a result, Kagami finally slept in Danzo that night, and completely forgot what he said early the next morning.Uchiha was lying on the floor with curly hair on his head, and when he got up, his whole body seemed to be run over.

"I said Tuan, I thought you could let me sleep in a bed anyway?"

"I'm obsessed with cleanliness." Danzang said, "Clean up, I'm going to a meeting later."

"Ok?"

"It should be a meeting from the Kingdom of Wind, a letter from the capital, to seek peace."

Danzo put on his Anbu cloak, put on a mask, and turned into his usual cool look again.

"Wash your face and go."

Jing stretched his waist and smiled.

"it is good."
