Chapter 25 Feeling depressed

Along the way, several people maintained a strange silence. The usual liveliness was gone. Kushina didn't speak, nor did Hinata Hisaha and Yue Le. Even their team leader Orochimaru remained silent.

He didn't intend to explain anything. Ninja was just a profession. It was a bloody fact that people would insert blades into their hearts.

If they can't resolve this issue themselves, then it might be a good thing for them to quit as soon as possible.

However, Orochimaru was quite satisfied with Yuele's condition, whether during the battle or after it was over, so Orochimaru often said that Yuele was a natural ninja seed.

The rain gradually became lighter, but it did not stop.

Kushina stretched out her hand, and the cold rain gathered into a puddle in her palm. The raindrops hit her palm, stirring up waves of water.

He stared in a daze at a puddle not far away. The bright flames shone on it. Raindrops fell from the sky and turned into little flowers, like fireworks blooming from the gods.

After calming down a little, Kushina looked up, her face pale as she stared at her companions beside her in a daze.

She was the one keeping watch at this time, while the others were resting and would return to the village to rest tomorrow.

"I'm sorry...but I won't stop..."

As if she had made up her mind, or as if she was hypnotizing herself, Kushina patted her head gently with her hand, brushing away some bad things, and regained her vigilance.

At this time, Yue Le, who was taking a nap nearby, sat up and tiptoed to her side.

“It’s really hard...”

"..."

"Um..."

"Kushina, well, how should I put it? Ninja is not a fun game. Just like what teacher Yuutaichiro said in class, from the moment we choose to become ninjas, our lives will be wrapped up in death. But I am still grateful because ninjas represent strength, the ability to protect yourself, and the ability to protect what you want to protect. Don't be afraid of your own strength."

"Even if we don't always stand on the side of justice, we will always stand in front of the beings we wish to protect..."

After taking a deep breath and giving Kushina a smile, Yue Le told Kushina to go and rest while he would take over.

Being a ninja is never an easy job.

The night passes quickly, especially when a person is worried.

In the early morning, the sky was foggy and there was a chill in the air. The sun had just climbed over the top of the mountain and the ground was muddy.

Orochimaru led the team and they returned to Konoha. However, unlike the excitement when they left the village, when they returned to the village, everyone had different expressions. However, one thing that was consistent was that everyone was not in a very high spirits.

"Go back and rest for a while. We will be carrying out high-intensity tasks later on, so we won't have much time to rest."

"Okay, teacher."

"Yes."

"learn..."

None of the three said another word until they returned to their own homes. It was unusually quiet.

"Master, what's going on?"

Watanabe Ao knew that Orochimaru had taken them on a mission, but he didn't know the specific content. Looking at Yue Le's gloomy face, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Yue Le's smile never fades on normal days.

Yue Le didn't say anything, just shook her head, and went back to her room without even eating dinner.

In the bathroom, I soaked myself in the bathtub. Slowly, I felt a suffocating feeling. I didn't hold it back any longer until I came to the surface. My messy hair covered my eyes and my vision became blurry.

"call......"

After a long time, he walked out of the bathroom and fell on the bed with a plop, without any strength left.

"Sir, Yue Le..."

Inside the office, Watanabe Ao stood in front of Danzo with a look of worry on his face.

Danzo didn't even raise his head, his attention was still on the file in his hand. As the leader of the Root, he had a huge workload every day.

"It's okay. The kid is very strong. He just needs to adjust himself now."

"..."

"understood."

Watanabe Ao nodded, gestured to Danzo, and walked out the door, gently closing it. The room suddenly became quiet. There was no sound of footsteps as he walked, and it did not attract any attention.

There was a faint "click" sound between the door and the door frame, and the sound was particularly clear in the room at this time.

As Watanabe Ao left, the atmosphere in the room seemed to change. The overhead lights fell on the floor, creating patches of light and shadow.

As if it was the influence of the Yuele intelligence brought by Watanabe Qing, there was a cold and lonely atmosphere in the air, which made people fall into deep thought.

Danzo put down the document in his hand and pinched his nose helplessly. Everyone has a first time. What he held in his hand at this moment was the detailed information about Yue Le’s mission this time.

Although he acted as if he didn't care just now, it was just because he didn't want to show it.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a ticking sound. He looked up and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

After pondering for a long time, Danzo slowly stood up, put on the coat hanging behind the chair, and walked slowly towards Yue Le's room.

......

dong dong dong-

"Who..."

The sound in the room was a little cold, as if no one wanted to talk to the outside world at all.

"I."

Danzo paused, keeping his voice soft, well, he had done his best.

"grandfather?"

Tread-tap-

There was a sound of footsteps, and soon the door was opened.

At this time, Yuele was wearing a nightgown and opened the door for Danzo with bare feet.

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

Yuele looked at Danzo who appeared at the door and was stunned.

"Come on, grandpa will take you to eat hot pot."

"what..."

Yue Le seemed to be unable to react when he heard what Danzo said. He looked back at the clock hanging on the wall in confusion.

Twelve thirty four......

"Grandpa, are you sure?"

Danzo's face darkened.

"Whether to go or not...hesitating."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Yue Le suddenly smiled, but then he hesitated for a moment.

"Um...Grandpa, can you call my teammates?"

"Sure, the old place... the rooftop of the Hokage Building..."

"Good Le!"

Looking at Yuele who hurriedly ran out of the Root, Danzo called Watanabe Ao to his side.

"You still have a solution, sir."

"Haha, after all I am his grandfather. Go call that old man Hiruzen out. Oh, and ask Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya if they can come."

"Yes."

I can only say that if the leader doesn't rest, how can the employees rest first? Impossible...

So, our poor and honest worker Qingjun called a few other Root ninjas (don’t we deserve to have names?!!!) and ran together to call the Sandaime Hokage and others.

At the same time, he instructed a few people to bring ingredients, kitchen utensils and other things to the Hokage building to set up the pot, boil the water, light the incense, and set up the lights, so that Lord Danzo would not have to wait for a long time.

I have to say that there is a reason why Watanabe Ao can sit in this position.
