Chapter 7 The girl's cry.

Dusk

Tsunade walked down the street of Konoha with her head down, 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 the occasional sobbing sound showed that the little princess of Konoha was in a bad mood.

Jiraiya pulled his head, looking at his sweetheart's sad appearance, and did not 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 mood at the moment. His parents also died in this cruel war.

Orochimaru, who was more delicate than ordinary people, understood that Tsunade not only needed comfort, but also company. However, the comfort he had learned was only a few words, far less eloquent than Jiraiya.

It was a pity that Jiraiya was acting like a coward now. When he should have tried hard to show himself, he became a turtle. Then he would be the same as Jiraiya and just follow Tsunade.

As a companion, he has always been there.

Orochimaru thought so, and suddenly Tsunade turned around and smiled with difficulty. Tears were about to burst out of her eyes, and she was holding back her grief, which made people feel pity.

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. Lord Hokage is so powerful, he will definitely not die..."

Before Jiraiya said 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 afraid of him. He is so powerful, he will definitely be fine."

"He knows a lot of forbidden techniques, water escape, fire escape..."

",,,,"

Tsunade sobbed and said a lot, as if she wanted to prove something, but soon she couldn't hold it anymore. Tears gushed out like a ruptured dam. She hurriedly said "see you tomorrow" and ran towards home without looking back.

The girl's self-esteem forced her not to show her cowardice in front of her companions. 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 anything before?"

Orochimaru looked at the distraught Jiraiya, and couldn't help but feel angry at him for not fighting. Jiraiya, who had begged him to play the villain and wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, acted like a piece of wood at such a critical moment.

"I, I, I,"

Jiraiya couldn't speak. He wanted to say something and do something just now, but he didn't know why he was like a ghost and lost his soul.

"Tsk!"

Waste!

Orochimaru sneered, cursed in his heart, then turned around and ignored Jiraiya and walked towards his home.

On the street, only Jiraiya's figure was left. In the afterglow of the sunset, his shadow was very long. He was stunned for a while before he recovered from the failure just now.

Jiraiya walked back home alone, his mind was a mess along the way, and all kinds of comforting words popped up one after another.

Unfortunately, it was useless now.

Senju Clan Land

Tsunade sobbed, whizzed through the door of the Senju Clan Land, and was eager to run to Grandma Uzumaki Mito.

Grandma Uzumaki Mito must know about the second grandfather.

As soon as Tsunade entered the door, she saw a familiar touch of red. Mito was sitting at the table, and the table was full of food.

"Grandma,, Grandma,,,"

"People in the village said that the second grandfather,,,"

Tsunade's tears flowed freely on her face, and she threw herself into Uzumaki Mito's arms in tears.

Uzumaki Mito hugged Tsunade and patted her back gently. A wave of sadness surged in her heart, tears flashed in her eyes, and several thoughts flashed in her mind.

The news of Tobirama's death was leaked so quickly?

Who is it! Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kagami?

The faces of several people flashed through Mito Uzumaki's mind.

The biggest thought was naturally that her granddaughter was so pitiful!

"Is the second grandfather really dead?"

Tsunade raised her tearful little face and looked for the answer from Mito Uzumaki.

Mito Uzumaki looked at Tsunade with tears in her eyes and wanted to say that Tobirama Senju was fine, and those were just rumors.

Unfortunately, she couldn't. The truth was a ball of 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.

A short pain is worse than a long pain!

Mito Uzumaki looked at her granddaughter distressedly, and thousands of words flashed through her mind. Finally, she said slowly:

"Tsunade, you are the granddaughter of the Hokage. Do you remember what Grandpa and the second grandfather said to you before?"

"Be strong at all times!"

"Grandma will always be with you."

After Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, Tsunade opened her eyes wide, and her hanging heart finally died. 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 above Konoha. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the streets of Konoha, but it could not illuminate a few people. The streets that used to be bustling until late at night were now only sparsely populated by a few people.

In just one afternoon, with the hard work of the Uchiha people, the death of Tobirama Senju had spread throughout Konoha like a virus at an unprecedented speed.

The shadow of Konoha died, leading them to win the first ninja war, and died in the border negotiations on the eve of a peaceful life.

How could they be in the mood to have fun?

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

As time passed, Tsunade's voice became smaller and smaller. After crying for a long time, Tsunade was finally exhausted and fell asleep with sadness. The traces of tears left by her tears destined Tsunade's dream to be unhappy.

Uzumaki Mito tiptoed Tsunade to the bed, then covered her with a quilt, moving cautiously, fearing that Tsunade would wake up.

Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunade in her sleep and sighed. As a ninja, separation between life and death has become normal, but the days will continue, just like the sun rises every day.

"Tsunade, you have to become stronger."

Mito Uzumaki murmured softly, then walked out of the room, found a basin, and washed her face. She had been crying for a long time just now.

Now she had more important things to do than cry.

The future of Konoha now rests on her shoulders.

"Senju Taomu!"

Uzumaki Mito gave an order and called Senju Momoki, his expression as calm as an ancient well.

Senju Momo was already nearby, waiting for Uzumaki Mito's orders. The house was noisy with cries all night, but Senju Momo didn't dare to let go at this time.

"Go call those brats over here!"

"yes!"
