Chapter 7 The girl's cry.
twilight
Tsunade walked dejectedly on the streets of Konoha, followed by two young boys.
The girl's usually smooth and shiny high ponytail became a little messy and dull today. There were tears in her eyes and occasional sobs, showing that the little princess of Konoha was in a terrible mood.
Jiraiya lowered his head and looked at his sweetheart's sad appearance. He didn't dare to step forward. He could only follow Tsunade silently to show his attitude.
Orochimaru's face was paler than usual. He could understand Tsunade's feelings at the moment. His parents also died in this cruel war.
Orochimaru, who was more delicate than most people, understood that Tsunade not only needed comfort, but also company. However, the comfort he had learned was only a few words, and he was far less eloquent than Jiraiya.
It's a pity that Jiraiya is acting like a coward now. When he should be working hard, he becomes a turtle. Then I will be the same as Jiraiya and just follow Tsunade.
As a companion, he is always there.
As Orochimaru was thinking this, Tsunade suddenly turned around and forced a smile, tears about to burst out of her eyes. She looked so pitiful as she was trying so hard to hold back her grief.
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's smile, which was uglier than crying, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward to comfort her:
"Tsunade, you know, the villagers always like to talk nonsense. The Hokage is so powerful, he will definitely not die..."
Before Jiraiya could utter the word death, he was interrupted by Tsunade. Tsunade was very afraid to hear this word now.
"Second Grandfather is the Hokage. Even Grandpa is usually afraid of him. He is so powerful, he will be fine."
"He knows a lot of forbidden techniques, such as water escape technique, fire escape technique, etc."
",,,,"
Tsunade said a lot while sobbing, as if she wanted to prove something, but she soon could not hold it back anymore, and tears gushed out like a broken dam. She hurriedly said "see you tomorrow" and ran towards home without looking back.
The girl's self-esteem prevented her from showing weakness in front of her companions, because she was the granddaughter of the Hokage.
After a while, Tsunade disappeared from the sight of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
"Jiraiya, why didn't you say something before?"
Orochimaru looked at the distraught Jiraiya and couldn't help feeling angry at him for not fighting back. Jiraiya, who had begged him to play the bad guy and wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, behaved like a piece of wood at such a critical moment.
"I,,I,,,"
Jiraiya was speechless. He really wanted to say something, do something, but for some reason he felt as if he had lost his soul.
"cut!"
waste!
Orochimaru sneered, cursed in his heart, then turned around and ignored Jiraiya, walking towards his home.
Jiraiya was the only one left on the street. In the afterglow of the setting sun, his shadow was very long. He stood there in a daze for a while before he came to his senses from the failure just now.
Jiraiya walked back home alone. His head was a mess along the way, and all kinds of comforting words popped up one after another.
Too bad it's of no use now.
Thousand Hands Clan Land
Tsunade sobbed and whizzed through the gate of the Senju clan, eager to run to her grandmother Uzumaki Mito.
Grandma Uzumaki Mito must know about my second grandfather.
As Tsunade walked in, she saw a familiar red color and Mito sitting at the table which was filled with food.
"Grandma,,Grandma,,,"
"People in the village said that my second grandfather..."
Tsunade's tears flowed freely down her face and she threw herself into Uzumaki Mito's arms, sobbing.
Uzumaki Mito hugged Tsunade and patted her back gently. A sadness welled up in her heart, tears flashed in her eyes, and several thoughts flashed through her mind.
The news of Tobirama's death leaked out so quickly?
Who is it! Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kagami?
Several people's faces flashed through Uzumaki Mito's mind.
The biggest thought among them was naturally that his granddaughter was so pitiful!
"Is Second Grandfather really dead?"
Tsunade raised her tearful little face and looked to Uzumaki Mito for the answer.
Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunade with tears in her eyes and wanted to tell her that Senju Tobirama was fine and that those were just rumors.
Unfortunately, she couldn't. The truth was a fire and a lie was a piece of paper. How could paper cover a flame? Lies could not be hidden from Tsunade at all. Deceiving Tsunade now would only bring greater harm in the future.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!
Uzumaki Mito looked at his granddaughter distressedly, thousands of words flashed through his mind, and finally he said slowly:
"Tsunade, you are the granddaughter of the Hokage. Do you still remember what your grandfather and second grandfather said to you before?"
"Stay strong at all times!"
"Grandma will always be with you."
After Uzumaki Mito finished speaking, Tsunade opened her eyes wide, her heart finally hanging in the air, she cried even louder, and her tears could not stop flowing.
Uzumaki Mito had no choice but to comfort Tsunade softly.
The sun set and the moon appeared in the sky above Konoha. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the streets of Konoha, but could not illuminate many people. The streets, which used to be bustling until late at night, now had only a few sparse people.
In just one afternoon, thanks to the hard work of the Uchiha people, the death of Senju Tobirama had spread throughout Konoha like a virus at an unprecedented speed.
The Kage of Konoha died. He led them to win the First Ninja World War, but was killed in negotiations at the border just when they were about to live in peace.
How could they have the mood to enjoy themselves?
Will Konoha in the future be as peaceful and prosperous as it was in the past?
The villagers closed their doors early with grief and confusion about the future.
In the room
Time passed by bit by bit, and Tsunade's voice became smaller and smaller. After crying for a long time, Tsunade was finally exhausted. She fell asleep with sadness. The tear marks left by her tears destined that Tsunade's dream would not be happy.
Uzumaki Mito tiptoed Tsunade to the bed, then covered her with a quilt, moving very carefully for fear of waking Tsunade up.
Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunade who was sleeping and sighed. As a ninja, separation of life and death was the norm, but life would still go on, just like the sun would rise every day.
"Tsunade, you have to become stronger."
Uzumaki Mito murmured softly, then walked out of the room, found the basin and washed her face. She had just cried for a long time.
Right now she had more important things to do than cry.
The future of Konoha now rests on her shoulders.
"Thousand Hands Momoki!"
Uzumaki Mito gave an order and called over Senju Momoki, his expression as calm as an ancient well.
Senju Momoki had been nearby for a long time, waiting for Uzumaki Mito's orders. The crying in the house had been noisy all night, and Senju Momoki didn't dare to let down his guard at this time.
"Go call those brats over here!"
"Yes!"
