Chapter 117: Popsicles in Memory!

In the dim underground space, only a few flickering candles provided light!

"Creaky------"

The wooden door was pushed open, Huang Quan walked in from the darkness, and said respectfully: "Lord Orochimaru, Sasuke is here!"

Then Huang Quan made way, and behind him stood Sasuke with a sword. Sasuke looked at Orochimaru with a cold gaze, without any respect, and his cold eyes reflected a dying man.

"Ahem------"

Orochimaru, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly coughed twice uncontrollably. After coughing, he looked at the blood in his palm and said to himself: "It seems that this body has reached its limit!"

""

As soon as these words came out, Sasuke's already cold pupils shrank suddenly, and his right hand, which was originally placed on the Kusanagi sword, tightened three points, and his thumb even pressed on the blade.

Is Orochimaru ready to reincarnate?

"Don't worry, Sasuke, I'm a man who keeps his promises!"

Noticing Sasuke's actions, Orochimaru squeezed out a smile on his pale face that was uglier than crying, but he was telling the truth. Sasuke came to him to seek strength for the ultimate purpose of defeating Itachi. In a sense, they were partners. But now Itachi has been killed first, and the basis for their previous cooperation no longer exists.

Sasuke did not relax his vigilance after hearing Orochimaru's vigilance, but tightened the handle of the knife again. After all, no matter how you look at it, Orochimaru doesn't look like a person who will honestly keep his promises.

"Orochimaru, what do you want to do?"

His hands were ready, but his mouth didn't stop. After all, Sasuke was really confused about what Orochimaru was doing now. Did Orochimaru suddenly change his nature? He didn't even plan to take his own body?

"Ahem----"

"You probably don't know yet?"

"Itachi!"

"Dead!"

"Died at the hands of an Uchiha clan member named Uchiha Izumi."

Orochimaru coughed out again with a smile, but the corners of his mouth were still a bit unpredictable.

Just after the Wuliang broke the seal and caused the entire ninja world to fall into a haze, the joint attack on the Yuyin Village by the Yinyin Village and the Yueyin Village was suspended. When the haze on the horizon was heavy

dispersed, the news that the woman died in the battle to seal the Wuliang came out, and there was no need to continue this war. After all, Orochimaru didn't think he had the ability to fight against Pein who had the Samsara Eye.

The Yinyin Village and the Yueyin Village withdrew their troops one after another, as if nothing had happened.

All of this was weird, even Orochimaru, who participated in the war, still couldn't see what was hidden under the fog.

After all, the timing of the appearance of the Wuliang was too coincidental!

It seems that Pein won the final victory?

But did he really win?

Did the wind that he believed in just stop?

"Dead?"

Hearing Orochimaru's answer, Sasuke's face changed drastically, and his face was full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that the goal he had worked so hard for for so long died so suddenly in the hands of others! He obviously had so many questions that he hadn't asked Uchiha Itachi!

More importantly, wasn't he the last survivor of the Uchiha clan? Then what was going on with this group of Uchiha clan members who suddenly appeared?

Under the setting sun, the lonely sunlight sprinkled on the streets of Konoha. Naruto lowered his head slightly, put his hands in his pockets, stared at the ground with lifeless eyes, and walked aimlessly.

The whole person looked lost and even bumped into pedestrians several times without paying attention. The pedestrians wanted to get angry, but seeing Naruto's absent-minded look, the words of scolding stopped at the end of their mouths.

When the haze that enveloped the entire ninja world dissipated, unlike the people in the ninja world who breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal life, Naruto seemed unable to accept the news the first moment he learned it. He couldn't accept that Liu Yu died in the seal of Wuliang.

Although Wuliang was very powerful in the descriptions of others, Naruto still couldn't accept this "fact" and couldn't believe that his last "relative" left like this.

At this moment, the laughter of the people around him seemed extremely harsh to Naruto!

No one was sad about the death of the "hero". The death of Liu Yu, a super S-level rebel ninja, was good news for more people in Konoha.

After walking and stopping along the way, Naruto finally came to the door of the grocery store. Looking at the popsicles placed in a prominent position, Naruto seemed to recall

something.

Naruto's thoughts went back to the days when he followed Liu Yu to practice, and he remembered the training plan Liu Yu had carefully prepared for him, and the wind escape spiral shuriken he had taught him.

Naruto tried to raise the corners of his mouth, but the next moment, tears were flowing uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

The last sunlight was eroded by darkness, and the street lamps that had been installed on the corners of the street for who knows how many years lit up again, trying to emit light, trying to illuminate the surroundings, but in the end, they could only maintain the dim light on the wooden bench under the lamp.

On the bench, Naruto lowered his head and looked at the ground without a trace of light in his eyes. He didn't notice that the double popsicle in his hand was almost melted. The decadent atmosphere emanating from Naruto made the pedestrians around him subconsciously avoid Naruto.

Ta-------

The unique sound of clogs trampling on the ground began to echo in Naruto's ears from far to near, and Naruto raised his head blankly and took a look.

The familiar red coat came into view, but at this moment, Naruto had no intention of responding at all. After glancing at it, he lowered his head again.

Seeing Naruto like this, Jiraiya couldn't help but shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness flashing across his face. If Naruto in the past had seen him, he would have probably gathered around him excitedly and asked him to take him to practice and develop new ninjutsu.

It was also the first time for Jiraiya to see Naruto like this, but it was not the first time for him to see such a situation. Orochimaru who lost his parents, Tsunade who lost Zan and Nezuki, and Kakashi who lost everyone he cared about.

The same despair haunted them at that time. In a sense, this is something that most ninjas will experience.

Jiraiya didn't say anything, but sat silently next to Naruto, then broke open the double popsicles he brought and handed the popsicle in his right hand to Naruto.

Naruto looked at the popsicles that suddenly came into view, and was stunned. At this time, he finally noticed that the popsicles he bought had melted at some point, and the other half fell to the ground.

""

Without words, Naruto mechanically took the popsicle, and then bit it in big mouths. No matter how cold the popsicle was, it couldn't compare to the silence in his heart at this moment.
