Shadow of the Four Generations of Konoha

Chapter 61 Chapter 61
"Boom!"

A flash of lightning appeared in the dark night sky, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and pieces of dark clouds slowly floated from afar...

In a deserted alley in the capital city of the Land of Fire, footsteps suddenly sounded. Under the dim street lights, a 3 or 4-year-old child was seen rushing home under the dark clouds.

The sound of hurried footsteps seemed particularly dull and lonely on this night of lightning and thunder, but the child ignored it and only wanted to rush home.

He quickly crossed the street, but stopped at the next intersection, looked back at the night sky, suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and it took a while before he calmed down.

Not long after, large dark clouds overwhelmed the top of the head, and the cool night wind began to permeate the entire Konoha, making a strange "whoosh" sound, and thunder rumbled in the sky.

Seeing that the thunderstorm was approaching, the child rushed to the gate of his own courtyard in time, but for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense...

The child slowly slowed down, and then stopped in front of his courtyard. He didn't know why he suddenly felt a little flustered, and it seemed that something hidden in his body was about to burst out.

After hesitating for a moment, the child still stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, only to hear the door slowly open with a "squeak", and a strong blood rushed to his face immediately...

"What's going on here..." The child opened his eyes wide and looked into the dark courtyard, but he couldn't see anything, and his heart suddenly became terrified.

Finally, he resisted the smell of blood and rushed into the house, but was shocked by the scene in front of him: his most respected mother was lying in a pool of blood...

"Mother! Mother!! What happened, why... why did mother die...." The child stared helplessly at the tragic scene with his helpless eyes, his chest trembling violently...

"Boom"

With another thunderclap, the heavy rain finally fell, and the "crash" hit the roof, like beans sprinkled on a bamboo tube, which could be heard clearly in the house...

Lightning suddenly appeared, illuminating a corner of the room through the open window. The dead mother's face was peacefully lying in a pool of blood, but her slightly curled up body showed that her death was not so peaceful...

But other items at the scene were neatly arranged, the dagger was tightly held in the mother's own hand, and there was no trace of other people's invasion and fighting in the room...

"Mother...did you commit suicide...", the child's heart beat violently again, he opened his mouth, and dryly uttered two words: "Master?"

But the dead would not respond. The child stood blankly in front of the mother's body, then sat down on the ground with a "plop", two lines of hot tears streaming from his empty eyes...

The sound of thunder kept coming, and lightning bolts pierced the dark night, making the light and shadow in the room alternate!

At this time, a ninja with a "Fire" loincloth around his waist came quietly. He silently watched the crying child, and slowly raised the long knife in his hand——

……

"what--"

Genzo screamed and sat up from the hospital bed. He looked around suspiciously, and found himself in the hospital bed of Konoha Hospital. He was relieved and said that it was a dream...

But think about it carefully, why this dream is so real... And that woman... that child... has been appearing in dreams frequently since he was 5 years old...

"They... who are they... why do I have no memory at all..."

Genzo shook his head vigorously, but it was still the same as usual, he couldn't remember a single memory of that woman and child, as if they had been sealed.

"Wait, someone has been here?" Genzo caught a glimpse of a letter on the bedside table out of the corner of his eye. He took it and opened it. The content turned out to be an official letter inviting him to join the Twelve Guardians of the Daming Mansion!
"The Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors?" Genzo vaguely remembered that this organization seemed to be a private, independent and direct unit of the daimyo, and it seemed that Sarutobi Asma, the son of the third Sarutobi Hiruzen, was one of them.

It is said that after each member has undergone rigorous training and inspection, the twelve elite ninjas with the most outstanding strength will be selected as the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. "The word loincloth.

"Bastard, I, Genzo, will not be someone's bodyguard!"

Genzo originally wanted to throw the invitation letter into the trash can, but then he remembered the dream he had just now, which seemed to happen in the capital of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, the murderer in the dream seemed to be from the Guardian Ninja Twelve, Genzo hesitated for a moment, and finally stuffed the letter into his pocket.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and then Kamano and Uchiha Izumi walked in. Seeing that Genzo had already woken up, both of them felt relieved, and then Uchiha Izumi took the lead and asked: "Genzo, do you feel better now?"

"Ah...it's much better..." Genzo moved his limbs and felt that the injury was much better. He looked at Kamano and asked, "When will the next round of knockouts start?"

"Three days later."

Kamano looked up at Genzo, and said solemnly: "If there is no accident, the opponent in the next knockout match will be Shisha, and I will avenge you!"

"Ah...thank you so much! Kamano!"

Genzo finished speaking calmly, and then slowly lay down. He looked at the white ceiling, sighed and said:

"I originally planned to win that game and then compete with you, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"Don't take it to heart, Genzo, we can compete at any time after you recover from your injury." Kamano comforted Genzo a few words, and then talked about how he met Hanzo, the daimyo's son, at the entrance of the hospital.

"Hanzo?"

After listening to Kamano's words, Genzo understood in his heart that the invitation letter on the bedside table was sent by Hanzo, but he was not awake at the time, so he didn't see him.

"That's right, I always feel that the daimyo's son appeared in Konoha Hospital, it's a bit weird!" Kamano spread his hands and said, "By the way, Genzo, has he been here before?"

"No... no! Why did he come to me? It's not relative! Kamano, why do you ask such a question?"

For some reason, Genzo hid the invitation letter from Kamano and Uchiha Izumi, as if he had been hiding that dream, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

"Ahaha, I'm just worried that you will be brainwashed by that kind of person!"

Kamano laughed and didn't say anything else, but looked away from the basket of apples next to the hospital bed, and silently looked at the night sky outside the window.

"..."

Izumi Uchiha always felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird. Seeing that Kamano stopped talking and Genzo didn't seem to have the intention to speak, he also quieted down, and the ward fell into silence for a while.

In this weird atmosphere, Kamano and Uchiha Izumi stayed in the ward for a while, and then Uchiha Izumi saw that it was getting late, so he left:

"It's getting late, Genzo, take a good rest! We'll come see you tomorrow!"

"it is good……"

Genzo silently turned his back to the two of them, his deeply wounded internal organs began to hurt again because of his movements, he grinned and curled up his body slightly to relieve the pain.

Just in time, the moonlight from the window gently sprinkled in front of the bed, forming a dazzling light. At this time, Genzo thought of the dead woman again.

At this moment, the seal somewhere in his body seemed to be a little loose, which made Genzo suddenly realize something, suddenly tears slipped from the corners of his eyes for no reason, and fell into the white sheet one by one, muttering in his mouth: Mother ...
