Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 144 The End of the Last Legend of the Old Era
The sky was hazy, with raindrops pattering down, and after a while, it turned into white snow.

The villagers in Uzuo Village knew that it was their shadows who used snow to replace their tears.

As a shadow, no matter what, you can't really shed tears in front of outsiders, even if your heart is extremely painful.

In the former cemetery of the whirlpool clan, now in the public cemetery of whirlpool village, all the villagers spontaneously came to see him off.

On the largest tombstone so far, it is clearly engraved——

The founder of the Uzumaki Kingdom, the great patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan, the legend of the Warring States Period——

Whirlpool Ashina.

Xue Hui stood in front of the tombstone, quietly staring at the name engraved on the tombstone, letting the rain and snow fall on him.

Behind him, the high-level people of Uzushio Village lined up, and behind them were all kinds of Uzumaki people, as well as Senju and Uchiha who were scattered among them.

Apart from the rustling of rain, there was no other sound. Even the children and babies held by the adults tacitly did not make trouble.

After a long time, Xue Hui took a deep breath, stepped forward, gently placed the bouquet in his hand on the ground in front of the tombstone, and then walked aside.

Starting from the high-level people, the villagers lined up in an orderly manner to say goodbye to the exhausted old patriarch one by one, and weeping could be faintly heard from the crowd.

Uchiha mirror looked at the sad Xuehui, and patted the opponent's back empathetically.

The entire funeral took an afternoon, and after everything was over, Xue Hui turned around and looked at the familiar high-ranking officials of the Uzumaki Kingdom.

Uzumaki Qingzheng is carefully holding the newborn Jiu Xinnai, a newborn child, Xuehui can only vaguely see what it will look like in the future.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen your child, Uncle Tie."

Xue Hui looked at the little guy standing quietly beside Whirlpool Tie, and knelt down to look at him face to face.

And the little guy didn't dodge or dodge, his two big eyes looked at Xue Hui's eyes.

"Hey, Shinfan, it's impolite to stare at Uzumaki like this, you have to say hello properly!"

The whirlpool iron was a little embarrassed for a while, and quickly pressed the little guy's head.

"You know I don't care about these things, Uzumaki Nobushige, the eyes are good, I like this little guy very much!"

A rare smile appeared on Xue Hui's melancholy face today.

"Yes! This kid is average in everything, except that his talent in physical skills may be better than mine."

Whirlpool Iron introduced it proudly at this time.

"If this is the case, when I have time to go to the ninja school to teach, I will give this kid some extra guidance!"

Xuehui promised.

Uzumaki Xinfan still blinked his big eyes and looked up at Xuehui, which made people feel a little dazed.

"Xinfan, thank you Kuoying, really, don't look like a wooden man outside, it really worries me."

Whirlpool Iron was still proud just now, but now it turned into a look of hating iron but not steel.

"it's okay no problem."

Xue Hui waved his hands indifferently, greeted the others, and walked out of the cemetery on his own.

For the others, the two elders were already old, and they were afraid that they would be too emotional, so they were sent back to rest early.

Uchiha Mirror came to a corner of the cemetery, and took a look at Uchiha Hoha's tombstone by the way. Just like his life, the tombstone was so low-key and inconspicuous.

Senju Momoka's old face was also beginning to show, looking at Uzumaki Ashina's tombstone, worried about Uzumaki Mito in the distance.

"Hashirama, Togama, and now even Ashina-sama... It seems that Mito and I will leave earlier than you."

"It's really lonely. Before you know it, is it time for the people of the old era to end?"

Qianshou Taohua looked up at the gradually dissipating clouds and rain.

Kaguya Chizuru quietly watched the grand farewell party in the cemetery the whole time.

"Will the former clan also hold such a memorial ceremony?"

Kaguya Chizuru asked herself, but shook her head in disappointment.

"Here is the place I yearn for, and the person I yearn for."

Kaguya Chizuru looked at the back of Xuehui who was going away, thinking firmly.

Xue Hui, who was walking out of the cemetery at this moment, wanted to go directly to his home to sort out his emotions, but was aroused by a child crying alone under the banyan tree.

Xue Hui stepped forward, looked at the other party's appearance of about six or seven years old, and stroked his red hair.

The sobbing child realized that someone was approaching, raised his head, and opened his mouth in surprise after realizing that it was Xue Hui, and forgot to cry for a moment.

"Little guy, why are you here alone, where are your family and partners?"

While rubbing his red hair, Xue Hui said softly, although he wanted to cry very much, but he still showed a comforting expression.

"I, I have no companions. He, they all say that I am too timid and want to run away whenever something happens, so no one wants to be with me."

The little guy answered with a twitch.

"Hmm." Xue Hui didn't expect such a thing to happen, looking at the little whirlpool in front of him, he was indeed an outlier among a group of extroverted clansmen.

"It seems that he is a delicate-minded type, but he is somewhat similar to me, except that some temperament needs to be changed."

Based on the idea of ​​treating everyone in the clan equally, Xue Hui wanted to enlighten him.

"Can you tell me my name?"

"I, my name is Uzumaki Hanbei, Uzumaki-sama."

"Hanbingwei." Xue Hui muttered the name, "Wipe your tears quickly, I will take you to a place."

Hearing Master Kuoying's words, the little guy felt that he stopped crying, and followed Xue Hui step by step.

Two people, one big and one small, came to the outskirts of the whirlpool village. Xue Hui sat on the bank of the moat, watched the turbulent whirlpool in the river, and waved to the whirlpool half-guard.

"Come, sit down beside me."

But Uzumaki Banbei hesitated for a long time, and tried to step forward a few times, but immediately retreated.

Xue Hui saw all of this.

"Are you scared?"

Xuehui asked.

Uzumaki Hanbei nodded again and again.

"why?"

Xue Hui asked, Banbing quickly pointed to the violent vortex below, in his eyes, it was like a huge mouth of an abyss that could easily swallow him.

"What if I, as Uzumaki, order you to jump down?"

Xue Hui put pressure on and asked.

The Uzumaki half-guard immediately showed a look of panic, and sat on the ground with one buttocks squatting, and kept crawling backwards.

"Don't be afraid, just kidding."

Seeing this, Xue Hui said hastily.

"Tell me why you are afraid of the whirlpool."

"Because, because you will die."

"So, you just instinctively want to avoid things that threaten you, right?"

Xue Hui explained the opponent's situation in one sentence.

"If you're really timid, you won't be able to have a normal conversation when you see me."

Xue Hui pinched his chin and analyzed.
