Green Lotus of Konoha

Chapter 23 The Hidden Truth

"Ah..." Kakashi didn't know when he appeared next to Inari, and sat directly next to him.The sunset at dusk is red all over the coast, and the reflection of the burning clouds is on the sparkling sea.On the white coastline, a row of herringbone-shaped wild geese flew farther and farther.

Inari next to him continued to bury his head between his knees and weep, ignoring Kakashi's arrival, as if he didn't exist.Kakashi didn't care, and said softly, "First of all, I apologize to you for that guy's impulsive behavior just now. In fact, that guy is worse than you. He lost his parents about an hour after he was born. All these years He grew up alone. So if you want to say who understands your feelings best, he should be one of them."

"He doesn't have a father either?" Inari finally raised his tearful eyes.

"Yeah, don't look at him as tall as me. In fact, he is only 12 years old this year. That is to say, he has never met his parents, and he may not even recognize his father when he sees his father." Kakashi I don't know that Naruto knows everything, so I analyze it.

"That guy is really pathetic"

"Yeah, but like he said, no matter what, your father still loves you. Doesn't he? So a strong man should stand up and protect those around him like your father. And you have another one who loves you too." Your mom and grandpa, compared to you, that guy has none of these things"

……

On the high roof, Naruto sat on the top of the house and recalled his past.For some reason, in the bottom of Naruto's heart, although those two figures from the previous life are still missed in his heart, what he often thinks of now has been replaced by his parents in this world.

Because I think about it, I always feel empty in my heart. In the 12 years of life, it seems that there is a blank space in my life that shouldn't exist.

"Huh..." Naruto suddenly shouted to the sea not far away, "Ah... I am Uzumaki Naruto... I am Uzumaki Naruto..."

"Naruto" Kakashi appeared next to Naruto like a ghost, "Aren't you afraid that other ninjas in Ninja Village will hear you shouting like this?" Kakashi asked, remembering Naruto's identity as Churiki.But there was no displeasure on his face.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to express my feelings, it's much better now"

"That's good." Kakashi said seriously: "Actually, don't you have relatives now? Let him pass the past, as you said, cherish the people in front of you."

"Yeah, I already have Tsunade," Naruto said unabashedly.Thinking of the days since he met Tsunade when he was six years old, a happy smile appeared on Naruto's face, and the lotus flower between his brows exuded a radiant brilliance, making the blue-purple petals even more enchanting.And Tsunade, who was far away in Konoha Village, was sitting at the dining table, for some reason, suddenly reached out and touched the pink lotus flower between his eyebrows, and smiled warmly, which made Kyuubi and Shizune who were eating bewildered.

Kakashi was sweating profusely when he heard Naruto's oath-like words. Although he had accepted it, he still couldn't imagine how these two people who were supposed to be so far apart came together.

Naruto's mood recovered. Although his cultivation had not improved, his understanding of the Chaos Jue had deepened a bit. From the avatar who comprehended the Hunyuan Jue in the inner space, he also learned that the inner space had expanded a lot.The whole person immediately felt comfortable.

Naruto looked at Kakashi next to him with a smile, and said kindly: "Mr. Kakashi, in order to thank you for your reminder just now, how about I give you a reward now? Hey! As my father's apprentice, your The cultivation base is too bad.”

"Eh? You already know that?" Kakashi had a strange expression on his face.But thinking of his own strength, he also knew his own reasons, and his eyes suddenly became dim and helpless.

"It's nothing, I have the chakra left by my father in my body, so I already know everything," Naruto said in order to conceal his other identity.

"It turned out to be the teacher's backhand"

"Then let's talk about your problem now. I think your strength began to solidify after you got this Sharingan." Naruto said bluntly: "Although it hurts you a little, I can only say , if you continue to choose this eye, even if you open the kaleidoscope in your life, it will be difficult to surpass the early stage of the movie class, unless there are some big opportunities. Have you ever thought about taking this eye?"

"Could it be your strength?" Kakashi guessed in disbelief when he heard Naruto's words.

Naruto didn't hide anything, looked at the sunset in the distance and said in a serious tone: "Yes, my strength has surpassed the Kage class six years ago. Otherwise, why do you think Danzo and Sandai wanted to get rid of me so much. ", thinking of this, Naruto smiled disdainfully, "But with those idiots they sent, hehe, I couldn't even catch a single move at that time. Later, if I hadn't met Tsunade, I think I would have hardly I will go back to Konoha again. Tsunade’s affection for Konoha is too deep, even if it is thousands of miles away, she still regards it as her home. So when she wants to go home, I also regard it as my home , when she decided to stay and guard there, I also chose to stay"

"I see. No wonder you don't like the third generation. But what I can't figure out is that the words of that crazy guy in Danzo are reasonable, but I didn't expect the third generation to be too." After so many years, I still can't see clearly the dirty politics in the village.

"Hey! Mr. Kakashi, you think everything is too simple. If Konoha Yashiki didn't have the acquiescence of the third generation or used Danzo as a tool to deal with some people, do you think that just relying on the shadow of Danzo at that time? How can these powerful shadow-level powerhouses who are in the limelight die one by one inexplicably. The key is that these guys who were at the peak of their strength back then can just take out one Let the other ninja villages drink a pot, but one after another, they jumped into the sea as if they were not afraid of being drowned. Do you think it was all accidents?"

Kakashi heard the silence for a while, and thought of the inexplicable death of his father, one of Konoha Yashiki, perhaps he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"And there is one thing that I have always been brooding about. At the time of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, I don't know why I can always remember the scene at that time. Maybe it was the reason why all my relatives died on that day. At that time I remember that the masked man snatched me, and then released Kyuubi. I clearly saw that the third generation was not far away at that time. Originally, he was supposed to help the mother who had just given birth and didn't have much strength to deal with Kyuubi, and my father happened to be Dealing with the masked man. But the old man actually used an excuse to protect the villagers and stood on the roof not far away, watching my father take me back as a baby, and then fought with the masked man and Kyuubi in turn. I think, if that person was still If there are some ninja guys who help my mother and suppress the Nine-Tails when it just appeared, maybe there won’t be so many casualties in the village, and my parents won’t die because of it. In that case, Maybe I'm still growing up quietly in my mother's arms."

"How should I say it?" Kakashi thought of his heart knots for so many years, and suddenly wiped his eyes with a complicated expression.Once upon a time, he regarded his father as an unrecognizable existence.After hearing Naruto's words, I realized that I thought of that peaceful village too simply.Yes, it's okay for Konoha Bashi to die one or two, but it's not worth walking into the same grave in a daze, with such similar endings.As the last color among the eight colors, maybe my father also saw his end. "Although the dirty side of the village is chilling, ordinary people still have a good life"

"Does Master Tsunade know what you're talking about?"

"What do you think?" Naruto looked at Kakashi with a half-smile, "Do you think Sannin is so willing to leave Konoha? The reason why Tsunade dared to come back is because Konoha didn't threaten her existence."

Naruto calmed down, "The life of ordinary people in the village under the governance of the three generations is really good. Otherwise, I would have killed the three generations and the entire elders instead of leaving Konoha."

"Oh, I've said so much, I almost forgot the business. I can let you break through the movie rank smoothly."
