“Hey, did you hear that he said that Lord Tobirama wanted to choose him as Hokage?”

“It’s so funny, is this guy qualified? If Uchiha could become Hokage, Uchiha Madara wouldn’t have to defect.”

“Hey, no matter what, he is the strongest man in the village now. It’s a bit too much to say that…”

“Tsk, he just relies on those eyes and Lord Tobirama’s research results. If such resources are piled on a pig, a pig can become a Kage-level strongman!”

One night, Jing sat on the Hokage Rock in a daze, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

His belief, his unstoppable ninjutsu, and the “will of fire” that supported him to where he is now, were shaken for the first time.

“Did I…really do something wrong?”

One morning, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the streets of Konoha:

“Uchiha Kagami has long coveted the position of Hokage. He colluded with foreign countries and cooperated with the Hidden Cloud Village to weaken Konoha’s strength, deceived Lord Tobirama’s trust, and finally cooperated with his brother, the traitor Uchiha Kamiya, to kill Lord Tobirama at the negotiation meeting, just to make himself Hokage!”

Absurd things happened. This rumor that came from nowhere was inexplicably spread as the “truth”.

In the streets, countless villagers marched and petitioned, intending to execute Uchiha Kagami and return Konoha to a clear world!

This incident attracted the attention of Konoha’s top leaders. They immediately held a meeting, but the focus of the meeting was not to find out the truth, but to argue about who would deal with Uchiha Kagami’s body and Sharingan after his execution.

That night, Uchiha Yuko ran to Jing’s house crying, crying with red eyes:

“Jing… I didn’t expect you to be such a person. Do you know that my brother has been impeached by the elders of the clan because of you!”

“Yuko, even you don’t believe me?” Jing opened his eyes wide, and his last belief collapsed.

Yuko’s voice was shrill: “I was really blind. I actually fell in love with you, and even… I got pregnant with your child… I hate you!”

At that moment, Jing seemed to be struck by lightning, and his heart and fingertips were cold, no longer having any temperature.

He was confused, and the will of fire he had followed all his life completely collapsed. He did not resist, but just silently watched his companions, watching these people he had once desperately protected, pushing himself to the execution ground.

He knelt in front of the guillotine, and his eyes swept over the villagers under the execution ground bit by bit. Their faces were different. Some cheered, some cheered, and some cursed bitterly, as if Jing had raped and killed their mother, but Jing had no memory of offending these people.

“I was really wrong…”

He was pale and his lips were tightly closed. At this point, no matter how much he tried to explain, it was useless. These people didn’t even tie him up because they were sure he wouldn’t resist.

He didn’t beg for mercy or curse, but just silently looked at the group of people who wanted him to die, burying all his grievances and unwillingness deep in his heart, turning them into a biting cold.

“So… this is the feeling of being betrayed…”

The time had come, and the elder of the Shimura clan in charge of the execution immediately waved his hand, and the executioner took the order and prepared to raise the guillotine.

At this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the clear sky, and with a “crack”, the executioner was split to a crisp.

The dazzling lightning, even in the daytime, made everyone in Konoha rub their eyes.

When the vision became clear again, they suddenly found that there was a figure beside Jing without knowing when.

“It’s almost time, you should come with me.” Shen Yu tilted his head slightly, smiling clear and pure, “Brother.”

Jing was indifferent, his eyes were dull, like a grape that had lost its vitality.

“It’s so ugly!” Shen Yu spread his hands, and his tone was cold and smiling, “Look, this is the real ninja world, this is the real human heart, this is the so-called Konoha Village!”

In the Land of Fire, on a cliff somewhere.

“You have a good eye. This place is beautiful, just right for a duel.” Shen Yu put his hands behind his back and leisurely admired the beautiful scenery. “I have not been idle this year. I have developed some interesting things. It’s just right to use you to test my skills.”

Jing asked softly: “Brother, did you do all this?”

“Except for provoking the war, I did nothing, and I didn’t even participate in the whole process.” Shen Yu raised the corner of his mouth, “Isn’t it ridiculous?”

Jing looked up blankly at the clear blue sky, “I used to think that protecting my companions was protecting the village… But now the ending tells me that I was wrong…”

“Do you feel wronged now?” Shen Yu shook his head gently, “Konoha has never been a great and glorious place. You may be the first person to bear the same tragic fate, but you will never be the first one.The last one.”

He wrinkled his nose and suddenly became impatient, “Okay, let’s start the battle. Your ridiculous five-year agreement to protect Konoha is meaningless.”

“Come on, I’m ready.” Jing took a deep breath and pointed to his chest, “Kill me if you can.”

A flash of afterimage, Shenyu’s sword finger broke into Jing’s chest, and the green light pierced his heart. A bloody hole opened in his chest and back, and even more than a dozen trees behind him were pierced by the sword.

Jing coughed up blood and took a few steps back, spreading his hands into his arms. Shenyu thought he was going to take out the ninja tool, but it turned out to be just a scroll.

“I don’t know how to move forward anymore. Perhaps, my disappearance is a better choice for Konoha and my brother. ”

He threw the scroll to Shenyu, then slowly raised his hand, his fingertips reaching for his eyes.

“I know you planted a spell in my heart to protect my pupil power, which really helped me a lot in the war, but it’s no longer meaningful…”

As he spoke, he dug out his own eyes and tremblingly handed them to Shenyu.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have betrayed you back then. I know these words are useless now, but this is the only thing I can do to compensate you. “Jing showed a tragic bitter smile, and red-gold blood flowed through his tightly closed eyelids, “Brother, you will see the future for me…”

“That scroll is the wood-style ninjutsu developed by Mr. Hashirama, maybe it will be helpful to you…”

He took two steps back, opened his hands as if to hug someone, his black hair moved without wind, and the air gradually filled with a strong breath of life. Just taking a breath made him feel refreshed.

The flowers and plants around him grew wildly, and a touch of freshness spread in an instant. Large fields of flowers grew up, with pink peaches and green willows, and rich fragrance. With the breeze, petals of various colors fluttered in the sky, and the fallen flowers were colorful.

Shen Yu looked at his brother with warm eyes, “Do you want to say anything in the end?”

“In another year, my child will be born in Konoha. Whether he is unfortunate or not, it is up to you to deal with it. ”

Jing’s body began to emit a sacred white light, which became more and more intense, and finally illuminated the daytime world.

“Goodbye, brother.”

The light bloomed, and a giant tree with lush branches and leaves rose from the ground. The ground continued to shake. There were countless strong tree roots spreading in the soil, and the turbulent air swept over the flower field, blowing up the petals.

Uchiha Jing disappeared.

In its place was a towering tree hundreds of meters high, dozens of people hugging it, and a colorful and beautiful flower field.

Shen Yu was silent and stood in the flower field for a long time, his black clan clothes rising and falling with the wind.

Finally, he closed his brother’s eyes, put his hands in his pockets, and turned away.

“From today on, the grudge between you and me is over.”
