Chapter 194 Jiu Xing's Self-awareness (4000 chapters)

"Old man..."

Tsunade looked at the pale-faced Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of her and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Unspeakable pain filled her heart.

"I'm not married yet..."

"if you……"

Tsunade's voice was choked and hoarse. The female ninja who was so heroic on the battlefield was now just a little girl in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

"Haha, my old bones can still hold on for a while."

"You are not the Tsunade I know now..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade, who seemed to be about to burst into tears, with a loving face, and couldn't help but comfort her.

—

Looking at the heavy expressions on Jiraiya and Orochimaru's faces, Jiu Xing couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

Even Jiu Xing himself was caught completely off guard.

In his inherent concept, Sarutobi Hiruzen could at least live to 69 years old, not to mention that this old man was very brave some time ago.

He took Jiraiya and the other two directly to the Hidden Cloud Village.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to fall at this critical moment.

You know, he is not even sixty years old now.

How could he collapse at this age?

"Jiu Xing..."

Xun squeezed Jiu Xing's hand with some worry.

She knew about the relationship between the Third Hokage and Kyuuki.

Rather than saying it is the relationship between the Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it is more like an elder who is helpless with his own junior.

In Kyushu's growth path, Sarutobi Hiruzen is indispensable to Kyushu.

Jiuxing has made many mistakes over the years, but they were all handled by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the old man treated Jiuxing as his own son.

It can be said that without Sarutobi Hiruzen, there would be no Kuyuki today.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's influence on Kyuyuki is even greater than Hatake Sakumo's.

In less than half a month, Jiu Xing's teacher died, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen...

"fine……"

Jiu Xing smiled at Xun, indicating that Xun didn't need to worry about her.

But Jiu Xing himself didn't know how ugly his smile was.

Xun didn't know how to comfort Jiu Xing.

She is an orphan and has no idea how her father, mother, grandfather and grandmother feel about her.

She would just sometimes see a subtle look of envy from the parents and elders of her children.

She could only hold Jiu Xing's palm, which should have been warm on normal days, now felt cold to the touch.

Xun could only use this method to tell Jiu Xing that she was still there and was with him.

Time passed minute by minute, and Tsunade pushed open the door with red eyes and appeared in front of them.

When she saw the people standing by the door, her beautiful eyebrows stood up and she said unhappily:

"What are you all doing here?!"

"Don't you all seem to have nothing to do?!"

"The old man isn't dead yet!"

Seeing Tsunade getting angry, no one said anything.

The pain in Tsunade's heart was no less than theirs, in fact, she felt worse than anyone else.

Tsunade has experienced the feeling of family love, her parents have given her love and care, so she cherishes the father-daughter relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen even more.

Tsunade had it, lost it, and then had it again. Now, I am afraid it is not...

Whether it's Jiu Xing, Xun, Orochimaru or Jiraiya, they are all orphans...

"Xun, the old man is calling you in."

Tsunade rubbed her red eyes, then looked at the blonde girl and spoke.

"I see……"

Xun released Jiu Xing's hand and walked into Sarutobi Hiruzen's ward alone.

"What are you three still doing here?!"

"Get out of here!"

“It makes me angry just looking at it!”

Tsunade kept driving people away. Looking at the backs of Orochimaru and Jiraiya who left silently, Tsunade turned to look at Jiu Xing with an unfriendly look.

"Um... I'll wait for Xun..."

Jiu Xing looked at Tsunade in front of him somewhat embarrassedly.

"Humph……"

Seeing Tsunade snorting at him and then sitting next to him, Jiu Xing didn't know what to say.

I don't know how much time had passed, but in this silent atmosphere, Tsunade's hoarse voice rang out.

"Feel sorry……"

"I was just too excited..."

Listening to Tsunade's apology, Jiu Xing sighed inwardly and responded in silence:
"It's okay. No one wants to see the old man like this."

As Jiu Xing finished his words, the atmosphere fell into silence again. There had never been such a scene between him and Tsunade.

Just when Jiu Xing was feeling a little uneasy, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from the corner of the hospital.

A tall man with long moon-white hair appeared in Jiu Xing's sight.

The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and regular facial features. He came to Tsunade, breathing lightly, his eyes full of pity.

"Tsunade……"

Kato Dan seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Duan, let's get married..."

Tsunade held Kato Dan's hand and spoke with tears in her eyes.

"it is good……"

Without any hesitation, any delay, any excitement or doubt, Kato Dan responded softly.

He had already learned everything from Orochimaru and Jiraiya whom he had met. He looked at the girl in front of him with sadness in her eyes and brows with heartache.

And he also treats Tsunade sincerely.

Watching the two people say goodbye to him, Jiu Xing didn't say much, but just silently watched their backs as they left.

Get married...

Just when Jiu Xing was daydreaming, a hand patted his shoulder.

"Jiu Xing, come in..."

Xun looked at Jiu Xing with a slightly heavy expression. Sarutobi Hiruzen's words just now made her feel a little uneasy, as if he was explaining his last wishes.

"Um……"

Jiu Xing nodded.

As Jiu Xing walked into the ward, he also saw the old man in front of him who had dedicated his entire life to Konoha.

"Old man..."

Jiu Xing sat beside Sarutobi Hiruzen's bed and looked at the old man in front of him whose face turned a little pale, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice.

"Jiu Xing ah..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the child in front of him who he had watched grow up and spoke weakly.

Jiu Xing's hand couldn't help but hold Sarutobi Hiruzen's old hand.

"Jiu Xing..."

"In fact, I have always felt guilty towards you..." Jiu Xing probably guessed what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, and he just spoke silently:
"It's okay, old man, it's not your fault..."

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen still spoke:

"Back when the Second Ninja World War was underway..."

"Under my decision, Konoha abandoned its allies..."

"This also led to the destruction of Uzushio Village..."

"There are thousands of people in Uzushio Village, but only a few survived..."

Jiu Xing listened quietly to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and never spoke a word.

"But I really can't do it..."

"At that time, Konoha was surrounded by enemies all over the world. It was even more difficult than the Third Shinobi World War."

"Sand Village, Cloud Village, Rock Village, Mist Village, these are all enemies of Konoha..."

"Muye, I really can't pull my hands away..."

"I'm sorry for you..."

"It's me, an old man, who made you an orphan..."

Jiu Xing held Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand tightly and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"It's not your fault..."

In troubled times, only by being strong can you ensure your survival...

Although Konoha was indeed unable to free itself at that time, Jiu Xing was unable to understand what the top leaders of Uzushio Village were thinking at that time.

Not strong enough, insisting on establishing a country relying solely on the strength of one clan.

That's all.

A common man is innocent unless he has a hidden wall in his pocket.

You don't even understand such a simple truth.

The temptation of sealing techniques is clear to everyone.

Although the Senju clan was already on the decline at that time, Uzumaki Mito was still alive and well.

If he had joined Konoha at that time, he would have definitely been able to avoid the disaster of extermination.

Although he has lost the situation where he had sole power in Uzushio Village, he can definitely save the tribe members.

Moreover, with the power of the Uzumaki clan, as long as they join Konoha, they will at least be treated the same as the Senju, Hyuga, and Uchiha.

She is totally incomparable to Aburame, Inuzuka, and Ino-Shika-cho.

"Later, I could only make up for my guilt on you..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were filled with unknown emotions. This incident had been like a thorn in his heart for eleven years. Whenever he thought about it, he felt guilty towards the first and second generations.

"Old man, I can't forgive you on behalf of those dead tribesmen..."

"But speaking for myself, I have never hated you."

"Even during those four years when I stayed in that sealed barrier."

"I know that my identity was special at the time, and the seal on my body was not complete. If I left the seal barrier, it would be easy to hurt others."

"If someone gets hurt because of me, that's something I don't want to see."

Jiu Xing looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him seriously.

Jiu Xing considered himself to be a sensible person. Although he was not a good person, he was not a bad person either.

He values ​​his friends, relatives, and lovers, but if someone hurts one of his own, he will kill them without hesitation.

But Jiu Xing would not use his power to bully others.

He has his own decision about right and wrong.

As the leader of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen did nothing when the Whirlpool Country was in crisis, which was naturally very infuriating.

But at that time, Konoha was surrounded by enemies on all sides and it was so difficult to protect itself, so how could we ask him to help the Land of Whirlpools...

Moreover, Jiu Xing himself only traveled through time after arriving in Konoha...

—

At the urging of the nurse, Jiu Xing left the ward and came to the familiar No. 3 training ground with Xun again.

Xun has already completed the training of Paper Style. Next is Wind Style and Fire Style mixed with Paper Style. Finally, it is the Multiplication of Detonating Talismans...

In order to speed up the progress, Xun even specially created two shadow clones to practice.

Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen has fallen, all matters big and small in the village are temporarily taken over by Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

Sarutobi Hiruzen originally wanted Tsunade to temporarily take over the position of Hokage, and when Kaoru came of age, he would entrust the position to Kaoru according to the procedure.

But now that Tsunade is pregnant, it is not convenient for her to temporarily take over as Hokage, so they can only settle for the second best and have two Konoha consultants temporarily lead Konoha.

As for Orochimaru...

Sarutobi Hiruzen just fell down, he wasn't stupid...

Because there was already information provided by Kakashi Hatake who had traveled through the dragon vein before.

In recent years, he has been paying close attention to Orochimaru's situation.

Orochimaru was fine at first, but he has been acting a little abnormal recently...

As for whether Utane Koharu and Mitokado En will become too powerful to be eliminated in the future, Sarutobi Hiruzen has no worries at all.

To become Hokage one must master the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Given the situations of Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, it is impossible for Kyuuki to return.

If such a thing really happened, Tsunade would have given birth long ago given her relationship with Jiu Xing.

Tsunade's reputation will be Kaoru's greatest help.

bang bang...

As the two shadow clones turned into white smoke and dissipated, Xun also fell softly into Jiuxing's arms.

These were two shadow clones that had been maintained for three hours. The vast amount of training experience rushed into her mind so violently that she was a little overwhelmed.

Jiu Xing sat on the ground with his back against a big tree, holding the girl gently, with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Even though his combat power has now reached the same level as Uchiha Madara according to Hashirama Senju, he still doesn't understand what a shadow clone is.

It's clearly a technique that will explode with just one poke.

In his and Xun's hands, it can only interfere with the enemy, and it is also a technique that consumes a lot of chakra.

Why is it like a cheat in Uzumaki Naruto's hands?

He can easily create hundreds or thousands of shadow clones without any chakra consumption.

Moreover, he was not affected by the beating, and even hundreds of his shadow clones were killed, but he was still alive and kicking.

He was pierced by Uchiha Sasuke's Chidori and yet he was still able to survive for a while.

The most outrageous thing is that in the end he was able to fight against Six Paths Madara's Rinnegan.

It's too ridiculous...

"Not enough chakra..."

Xun, lying in Jiuxing's arms, muttered, then skillfully undressed Jiuxing. Seeing the bite mark on Jiuxing's shoulder, she licked her lips with her pink little tongue, and then bit it gently.

Jiu Xing didn't mind it at all, Xun's bite was not hard, just like a kitten's.

And the amount of chakra that Kaoru needed was insignificant to him.

Rather than saying that Xun needs Jiuxing to provide her with chakra, it would be better to say that this is a little interest between the two people to enhance the relationship.

Feeling the soft lips and teeth rubbing against her shoulder, Jiu Xing gently stroked the soft, golden-colored hair.

Every time this happened, Jiu Xing felt that Xun was just like a child.

As time passed, the chakra that Xun needed was fully charged.

"Should I find an opportunity to learn the Yin Seal from Sister Tsunade in the future..."

After all, the amount of Xun's chakra is a problem. If there is a Yin Seal, the excess chakra in daily life can be accumulated into the Yin Seal.

Or you can be more brutal and Jiu Xing can just fill up the Yin Seal directly.

In this way, Xun's endurance can be greatly enhanced, and there will be more room for operation.

Moreover, the power of the Yin Seal...

Well, stay young, hehe...
