Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

Chapter 456 Return to the Village

Mangekyō Sharingan!

Compared to other clan members, as the clan leader, he naturally has a deeper understanding of these eyes.

Although Fugaku at this moment only has a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes.

But after looking at the stone tablet of Nanga Shrine, he had a clearer understanding of kaleidoscope than ordinary people.

"Kaleidoscope?"

Fugaku could no longer hear the excited chatter of the clan members, and he seemed to be in a daze.

It is impossible not to envy and yearn for this pair of eyes, the high-level state of the Sharingan, which I had only heard of in Madara before.

In fact, Fugaku even had a faint fear in his heart.

The existence of Uchiha Xia Luo will inevitably pose a certain degree of threat to his status in the clan.

Looking at the enthusiasm of these guys on both sides, you can imagine it.

"I just hope that Xia Le is not a guy with huge ambitions!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid another Madara will appear in the family!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, Uchiha Fugaku sighed and looked at the chaotic clansmen in front of him quietly.
-

The border between Konoha and Rain Country.

On this day, the sky was clear, and the sun shone on the ground through the gaps in the leaves.

In the temporary station, many long ropes were pulled, and Konoha's standard clothes were put on them.

The end of the war also made the people of Konoha feel a lot more relaxed.

While waiting for news of returning to the village, the ninjas also took the time to pull out their robes that had been soaked by the rain for many days and dry them in the sun.

For a moment, the scene here seemed particularly warm and quiet.

The three Nagatos were not practicing any more at the moment, but were playing with several teenage genin.

Xia Le quietly leaned against the big tree and watched this scene.

Everything in the pirate world was hidden in his heart like a memory, and everything in this world became extremely clear.

He didn't know if this was because of the new life, but it undoubtedly brought new vitality to his originally dry and old soul.

"The war is finally over!"

Tsunade walked over slowly with a complicated tone.

Xia Le turned his head and looked at the female ninja with blond hair, delicate face, a bit of youthfulness, and huge breasts, and said with emotion.

"Yes, you can also have a good rest!"

Tsunade shook her head: "Rest? Not necessarily!"

She slowly raised her head, her face a bit desolate and sad, and looked at the blue sky.

"This world will never usher in peace!"

Xia Le was startled and thought about it.

There is no doubt that Tsunade lost a lot in this war.

Her lover Kato Dan died, and her biological brother Sosho also died in her arms. Because of this battle, she suffered from anemia.

"No, I believe peace will definitely come!"

"Tsunade, cheer up!"

Jiraiya was confident.

Orochimaru on the side thought a lot in his spare time.

In this battle, too many ninjas in Konoha lost their lives, and the frailty of human life made him feel complicated.

The scale of life is as thin as paper in war.

He walked over slowly and stopped in front of Xia Le.

"Xia Le, how do you view the frailty of life?"

It seemed that it was just an unintentional murmur, but it was also a verbal expression of Orochimaru's complicated feelings.

Hearing this, Xia Le fell into deep thought.

Both of them were quietly looking ahead, where the three Nagatos were playing with a few genin.

One has blond hair on his head and a warm smile, like a little sun, while the other has red hair and is a girl.

"Is that Namikaze Minato?"

Xia Le suddenly asked.

"He is Jiraiya's disciple, and his name is indeed Namikaze Minato."

Orochimaru nodded.

His eyes were still staring at Xia Le, wanting to get the answer to the question just now.

Many people will face many problems that subvert their lives during the war.

The meaning of life seems insignificant here, but it is full of emotions.

"Human beings are actually as small as ants in the face of long time scales."

Xia Le spoke slowly.

The first sentence made Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade raise their heads.

The other person's perspective on life is indeed somewhat unique.

"Weak humans will not live much longer than animals in war."

"The life of an ordinary human being is just eating, drinking and having sex, repeating all the vulgar tastes until the end of his life."

"So, Orochimaru, what do you think the meaning of life is?"

Xia Le smiled and asked back.

Orochimaru was stunned, he couldn't answer this question, especially combined with what the other person said.

It seems that life has no meaning.

"Everyone will die, everyone will die!"

"So, I can't answer your question."

"Because the meaning of life is not what others tell you, but depends on yourself."

After a pause, Xia Le smiled slightly.

"What kind of person do you want to be in this limited life span? What kind of things do you want to do?"

"To accomplish some goals and dreams of your own?"

"To change the people around you, to help the people who need to be helped, or to change the entire world?"

"It all depends on you, doesn't it?"

Orochimaru stood there blankly.

He has never viewed the scale and meaning of life from such a unique perspective. I just feel the death of friends and companions in the war, and lament the weakness of life.

"Everyone has a meaning for his existence!"

"Everyone is changing the world. An unintentional flower picking or a sincere smile will have an impact on the world."

"So, you can think that everyone's life has meaning."

"Similarly, it can also be regarded as meaningless!"

"Because most people don't change too many things throughout their lives!"

After a slight pause, Xia Le stared into Orochimaru's eyes, seeming to see through his heart.

"It's not so much that you're asking about the meaning of life."

"Rather, you are asking about the length of life."

Orochimaru was startled, his vertical pupils shrinking together.

"So, Xia Le, what do you think about the length of life?"

The brief conversation gave him some enjoyment. This feeling of communicating with others was like discussing Taoism.

"Human life has its own meaning!"

"But the length of life can be changed!"

After Xia Le was silent for a moment, he suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

He is waiting for the other party's answer.

"In other worlds, life may have an end!"

"But here."

"The length of life may be extended indefinitely."

Taking a slow breath, Xia Le turned his eyes to Orochimaru.

"so."

"Ask questions like this."

"Orochimaru, do you want to live forever?"

In an instant, Orochimaru's body shook, and his whole person was in a trance.

Immortality!

This is such a tempting topic. For a man like him who laments the fragility of human beings, it is like poison, full of endless charm.

"It's just a joke!"

"You're not really tempted, are you?"

But soon, Xia Le's laughter came over.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at the other person, and smiled in agreement: "Who can not be tempted?"

Xia Le shook his head: "In a sense, this is not a good thing."

At this point, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of vicissitudes of life, seeing through the loneliness and emptiness of the world. Three hundred years.

Relatives, friends, and descendants passed away one by one.

Watching the rise, decline, collapse, and reorganization of a dynasty.

Orochimaru stared at this face. His keenness made him seem to detect the secret deep in the other person's heart, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Is this guy?!"

But in just a moment, Xia Le returned to normal and looked at the Chuunin who was walking towards them quickly.

"News from Konoha is coming!"

Orochimaru raised his head, retracted his inner speculation, and looked at the person.

"Master Orochimaru!"

The chunin bent down slightly and handed the scroll in his hand to the other party.

Orochimaru took it, unlocked the seal on it, and scanned it with his eyes. After a moment, a smile appeared on his face.

"The Third Hokage orders us to set off today and return to Konoha!"

Hearing this, Tsunade and Jiraiya both had smiles on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, the news quickly spread throughout the station.

After Orochimaru glanced at Xia Le, he went to send the message.

"Jiraiya, are you going back to Konoha? Or are you continuing to travel around?"

Tsunade asked.

"I think it's better to continue traveling!"

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said with a smile.

At this time, the team that had received the news of the retreat had become completely lively, and cheers could be heard from everywhere.

After a while, under the leadership of Orochimaru, the team reorganized and headed towards Konoha.

Xia Le followed the former, Tsunade on the other side.

The three Nagatos followed closely next to Xia Le, and on the other side were Jiraiya's disciple Namikaze Minato and some other genin.

"Minato, you just graduated and joined a battlefield like this? You're really awesome!"

Xia Le smiled as he complimented casually.

"Master Xia Le is ridiculous. If it weren't for Teacher Jiraiya's protection, I'm afraid."

Minato said quickly.

"Haha, it's already amazing!"

Xia Le smiled.

Minato, who was now just a genin, couldn't help but blush after receiving Xia Luo's praise.

He knew that the Uchiha master in front of him was quite powerful, as he could defeat a big shot like Sanho Hanzo by himself.

"Thank you for taking Nagato and the three of them to play."

Xia Le said again.

"It should!"

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then said.

"When I return to Konoha, I'll trouble Minato so I can take care of the three of them more."

Xia Le smiled.

"no problem!"

Minato agreed immediately.

He also gets along well with the three of them, especially Nagato, who, like Kushina, is a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Although his eyes are intimidating, his personality is very gentle.

Orochimaru didn't care, and Tsunade was a little surprised by the small talk between Xia Le and Minato. It seemed that she didn't expect that the strong men of the Uchiha clan could be so talkative.

Along the way, Xia Le and Minato talked about their daily training, their training experiences, and the development of ninjutsu, almost without stopping.

Not only did Minato suddenly realize something in certain places, but it also benefited Orochimaru and Tsunade a lot.

"Chakra may be seen as an invisible force."

"If the precision of its control is enhanced and the body is polished and exercised."

"It will be able to greatly increase physical skills."

"If we go one step further and can enhance our perception of our own body and external things, perhaps a new kind of power can be born!"

Xia Le said slowly.

This is the understanding he gained after understanding the rules of this world in recent days.

But there are still doubts about whether it is reliable.

I raise it at this time and hope to get the answer through them.

"You mean physical skills?"

Minato said unexpectedly.

Xia Le nodded.

Ninjas are all crispy chickens with high attack but low defense. From this point, it can also be seen that the development of the human body in this world is far less in-depth than the pirate world.

But in terms of the use of human cell energy, that is, chakra, it is a major advantage. But this chakra is also a big loophole.

Its roots come from the ancient sacred tree.

From this point of view, the most reliable power in this world is actually natural energy that is difficult for ordinary people to absorb.

Xia Le's eyes flickered during the chat.

We must understand the world and our own essential energy, so that we can avoid going astray and point directly to the most powerful and fundamental force in the world.

"Master Xia Le's perspective on power really made me suddenly enlightened!"

"I did neglect to train my body."

Minato said with a smile.

Xia Le didn't speak anymore.

This was just a casual chat on the way back.

But just this small chat caused huge changes for the few people involved in the future.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the opponent's invulnerable body when fighting Hanzo, who could deliver shockingly destructive slashes with his physical body.

Obviously, Xia Le was already one step ahead in developing his body.

As for Tsunade, in comparison, Xia Le's strange and terrifying power was very similar to her strange power fist, but different at the same time.

The team maintained a steady speed and headed towards Konoha.

As time passed, we got closer and closer to Konoha.
-

The entrance to Konoha Village.

The civilians on both sides were crowded, looking out on tiptoes, with curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

"come yet?"

"Haven't seen it yet."

"Did we win this war?"

"Of course, I heard that the head of Sanshouyu Hanzo was put into a box and brought back."

"Uchiha is really famous this time!"

"..."

Chaotic sounds continued to sound, and the entire Konoha Village was bustling with excitement.

Among the crowd, Uchiha Fugaku was wearing a loose robe with the iconic fan symbol on the back, and behind him were Uchiha Setsuna and other clan members.

They came slowly, making the noise on the street a little quieter.

"It's an Uchiha!"

"They really stole the show in this battle!"

"The Uchiha clan has never lacked geniuses!"

The sound of exclamation came out, making the Uchiha clan members puff up their chests.

The arrival of Uchiha Fugaku and his party also brought the atmosphere of the scene to its extreme.

After a while, the Third Hokage wearing a bamboo hat, also surrounded by a group of Konoha elders, came here slowly.

"It's the Third Generation!"

"Hokage-sama is here too!"

The crowd suddenly became commotion.

Uchiha Fugaku turned to look, and the Third Hokage raised his head, looked at the young clan leader, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Chief Fugaku!"

"Lord Hokage!"

The two greeted each other lightly, without showing any other emotion.

Then, they all turned their heads and looked outside the village.

There, figures jumped out from the woods and came to the road, walking slowly.

It was Orochimaru and his team who retreated from the battlefield and won the victory.

And in the front, standing next to Orochimaru, the figure with the Uchiwa fan logo engraved on his robe is the most eye-catching.

The young members of the Uchiha clan became enthusiastic in an instant.
