Alive .

"Onoki, I will lead the eastern front against the Land of Water and you will remain here to maintain the safety of the village."

The Second Tsuchikage said to Onoki in a deep voice.

"But Sens-" Onoki tried to argue with his teacher, but his teacher's stern face prevented him from doing so.

"You are my only student who was able to master dust release. I know that your hatred for Konoha because of what they did to you and Kimi is big, but the war is almost over. You have to wait for the right opportunity to take revenge."

Mu said in a deep voice as he scolded his student like a little child.

Onoki, in return, lowered his head and gritted his teeth hard. At that time, he was still immature enough, but his time in the INBU and the torture department had raised his mental state to understand the current situation of the Land of the Elements.

Seeing his student understanding the situation and seeing the big picture, Mo sighed with relief that he was not wrong in his choice.

In front of the village gate, Onoki stood bidding farewell to his teacher, heading to the front line of the battle.

Above his head was the Tsuchikage's hat resting lightly.

The last words he heard from his teacher before he left were "Keep the village safe. If I do not return from the battlefield, you will be installed as the third Tsuchikage of the Rock Village."

Three days later, the First Great Ninja War finally ended and news spread of the death of the Second Mizukage, Genjutsu Hozuki and the Second Tsuchikage, fighting to the death against each other.

On the same day, 20-year-old Onoki sat on the seat of the Third Tsuchikage

-----------

In one of the houses in Saitama city , and in particular in one of the rooms, Onoki woke up from sleep and found himself in one of the unfamiliar rooms.

The headache in his head was enough to make him want to commit suicide, and the pain in the muscles of his right arm made him want to cut them off immediately, but he quickly composed himself, remembering that this was not the worst thing he had suffered.

'I dreamed of the end of the First Great Ninja War, where I became the Third Tsuchikage and my sensei Mu died, I don't know if this is a good or bad omen' Onoki thought to himself as he looked around the room he was in.

There were many posters on the walls, some for girls and some for boys, there was a table on one side of the wall and a pegboard on the wall, on the other side there was a wardrobe and from what he could see on one side there was a girl's clothes hanging inside.

After observing his surroundings, Onoki examined his body.

He was wrapped in bandages from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, which reminded him of his teacher Mu.

The bandages were soaked red, as was the bed he was lying on.

However, Onoki did not feel any pain other than the pain in his right hand , even the headache he was feeling had already receded.

After removing the bandages filled with medicine, there were no wounds on Onoki's body other than his right hand.

His right hand was disfigured with scars down to his elbow, the scars were three purple lines that wrapped around his hand and up to his elbow.

According to his Internal Affairs watch, about 12 hours had passed since he fainted, and he did not know what Gojo's condition was now, but he knew that he was not in better condition than he was , perhaps that would reduce his arrogance somewhat.

Another thing that suddenly occupied his mind was how his wounds were healed in such a miraculous way.

The medicine was definitely not the cause or else he would have definitely heard of it.

The only way was the Reverse Curse Technique but Onoki didn't know anyone who was able to use it or that the person who brought him here healed him in some way

Or had he somehow managed to use the Reverse Curse Technique while unconscious and miraculously healed himself? Although this option seemed less likely, Onoki did not rule it out.

Looking at the scars on his right hand, it was clear that these scars were not going to heal as easily as other wounds.

Suddenly, Onoki felt someone moving into the room where he was. He quickly disappeared from his place and pressed against the wall above the door.

The door opened and a girl about the same age as him entered.

She had short black hair and was wearing homespun clothes, a skirt and a regular shirt.

It was not possible to see his face because of the angle from which Onoki was looking, but that did not represent any importance to him.

"Oh, where is he?"

The girl was surprised when Onoki disappeared from the bed and she was about to look for him, but before she could move, Onoki had descended over the door without making a sound and reached behind her and placed a kunai made of rocks on her neck.

The girl who felt the cold blade on her neck froze and did not move at all.

As for Onoki, he sensed the amount of cursed energy in the girl, and it was shockingly..little.

She was an ordinary person, she probably had enough to see cursed spirits but not enough for more than that .

Due to the injury and previous fight, Onoki's sense of cursed energy was somewhat disturbed, even though most of his wounds had healed, so he was forced to approach the girl to sense her cursed energy.

"Turn around" Onoki said in a cold voice.

The girl obeyed the order and turned towards Onoki , her face was filled with fear and tears were about to fall down her face.

It was a pathetic sight and enough to lower anyone's guard. Unfortunately, the person in front of the girl was Onoki.

"Don't scream, if you scream I will kill you, do you understand?" Onoki said coldly while the girl nodded frantically.

"Tell me your name, where I am and where you found me. I want short answers so don't try to procrastinate."

The girl nodded like a chicken as tears fell along her cheek.

"I...I...I...My name is Fushiguro Tsumiki. I am twelve years old. I live alone with my younger brother. My hobbies are playing with my friends and eating. We are in Saitama City. I go to school every day at seven in the morning..."

The girl suddenly started crying and the sound of her crying spread throughout the house.

Suddenly Onoki felt someone approaching.

This person was smaller than the girl and he was approaching from the next room so he was already in front of the door.

He was just a child , about four or five years old with messy black hair and unnaturally familiar facial features, but suddenly the girl's name came to mind, Tsumiki Fushiguro, Toji Fushiguro.

He was at the house of the person he had killed before, and the two people in front of him were most likely his children.

The child at the door had his eyes set on the scene inside the room when he rushed and tried to push Onoki away from his sister , he quickly set off like a bull, putting his head in front of him and trying to gore Onoki.

"Leave my sister alone!!"

Upon seeing this, Onoki extended his hand and placed it on the boy's head easily and without using any force stopped the boy in his place.

The boy extended his hands and tried to punch Onoki, but his hands were too short to reach Onoki.

Seeing this, the boy turned his head and bit Onoki's hand. This hurt Onoki as he let go of the child and withdrew his hand in reaction.

The kid went forward and grabbed the girl's arm and they ran out of the room and hid inside the next room and closed the door behind them.

Onoki, who was preoccupied with the additional pain in his right hand, did not care about the two escaping.

However, he was surprised when he found someone who he thought was dead standing in front of the door, safe and sound. Well, not completely healthy, as his right arm was missing.

It was Toji Fushiguro .

"You're not dead?!" Onoki asked in surprise.

"Of course not," Toji replied with a big smile.
