Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 25 Bow, Hero

Living a regular life like this, with a stable income of gold coins and money, Sanshui is very satisfied.

He doesn't want to become stronger all at once, as long as he can see hope, all the sacrifices are worth it.

Old man Qiuyi, Sanshui was helping Qiuyi water the flowers in the backyard, including the huge camphor tree.

This is the fourth time that Sanshui took the time to visit this lonely old man.

Sanshui is a trustworthy person, and it was not polite to say that he was free to visit Qiuyi.

Although this kind of behavior can't bring him intuitive benefits, but it can give some warmth to an old man who lives alone, and Sanshui is also willing to do it.

This kind of relationship without interest is actually very rare.

At least since Sanshui traveled to the ninja world, he has never experienced it.

In the life of an orphan, there is no family affection for no reason, no one will care about Sanshui, just like daily tasks, everything must be won by Sanshui himself.

It is also a kind of fate for Sanshui to meet Qiu Yi, a kind old man.

Qiuyi carried a pot of boiling hot water and made two bowls of hot tea, waiting for Sanshui to drink when he was thirsty.

Watering flowers is also an art. Sanshui itself does not involve much, so we adhere to the principle of not watering too much, and would rather make the flowers thirsty than let the flowers be drowned by water.

Qiu Yi looked at Sanshui who was working hard by himself, and smiled kindly.

Once upon a time, he was also a layman in watering flowers. He watered the flowers to death several times, and he became an excellent gardener step by step by relying on the experience and teaching of the patriarch.

As for why I am obsessed with planting flowers and trees, it is purely because of my hobby.

If you don't have any hobbies, the job of guarding the grave is really not something ordinary people can do.

The current Qiuyi can judge the health of the flowers and trees just by simple analysis, and he is sure to raise them in a healthy place, so he is not afraid of being ruined by three waters.

The courtyard is very quiet, except for the bubbling sound of the kettle, the only sound is the murmur of the breeze and the sound of water splashing on the soil.

"Sanshui, are you free tomorrow?"

Seeing Sanshui put away the kettle and walking towards him, Qiuyi asked.

"Tomorrow? Free."

Sanshui thought for a while, he happened to be on vacation tomorrow, if he had nothing to do, he originally wanted to exercise.

But if Qiu Yi asks him something, he will naturally consider it, and probably won't refuse.

"Could you accompany me to a place tomorrow and delay your time for an hour?"

"No problem, tell me what time, I'll come to you early and wait."

Sanshui put down the kettle, picked up the warmed tea and drank it in big gulps.

"Be early tomorrow, seven o'clock."

"it is good."

After drinking the tea, Sanshui asked again what was the matter.

But Qiu Yi kept it a secret and refused to say it now.

"You'll know then."

The next day, at 06:30 in Sanshui, I was waiting at the gate of Qiu's family.

He was doing some stretching exercises outside the door, and it didn't take long before he heard slow footsteps coming from the courtyard.

"come in."

Qiu Yi said in a kind and hoarse voice.

Walking into Qiuyi's old house, Sanshui waited quietly.

As soon as Qiu entered the room, he changed into a set of black clothes, and then handed another set of black clothes to Sanshui.

"Put it on, you need to wear it where you are going to wait."

Sanshui looked at the all-black clothes in his hand with some doubts, but didn't ask any further questions, just changed into another set of clothes.

Soon, Sanshui, dressed in black, walked out of the room.

Qiu Yi went up and down a lot, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, let's go."

Sanshui followed Qiuyi, not forgetting to close the door when he left.

The walk was very slow, and the crutch in Qiuyi's hand rattled. The two of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere seemed very heavy.

Sanshui sensed Qiuyi's dullness in the morning, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to him ignorantly.

"arrive."

Qiu Yi stopped, tidied up his clothes, and walked into the venue.

Sanshui also straightened his collar and followed Qiu Yi.

Entering the venue, you can see a dense crowd of people, wearing black clothes, standing neatly, and no one is chatting.

Sanshui looked through the crowd, saw the tombstones lined up, and finally realized where it was.

Here is the cemetery, where a mourning service is being held.

Qiu Yi's pace was very slow, but he didn't stop. He stepped forward step by step, passed the people lined up behind him, and finally stood in the first row.

Sanshui followed Qiu Yi all the time, and did not leave without authorization.

He unexpectedly discovered that there are many big bosses here.

The people standing in the first row are Sarutobi Hiruzen the third Hokage, Namikaze Minato the fourth Hokage, Konoha Elders, Mitomon En, Zenju Koharu, and Shimura Danzo.

All of them are Konoha's power figures, with lofty status.

Standing in the second row are Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hyuzu and other clan chiefs.

In the back row, there are the patriarchs of other small clans and some other ninjas.

There are almost no ordinary people standing here.

However, Mr. Qiuyi skillfully stood at the left end of the first row, and everyone seemed not surprised.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hirizan took a look here, and when he saw Akira Chiju was in place, he nodded slightly in greeting.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi also took a look at Sansui who was beside Qiu Yi, but he didn't look too much, and turned his eyes straight, waiting for the mourning service to start.

"Sanshui, what is buried here are the heroes who died guarding the village that night. The reason why we are still alive is that they exchanged their lives for it."

Qiu Yi's voice was a little low, with a heavy tone.

Sanshui gradually recovered from the shock and nodded slightly.

He didn't expect that this ordinary old man had another identity.

And it is in the same position as Hokage, Elder and others.

Who is he?
Sanshui suddenly recalled the strange logo on the tea bowl of Qiu's family, thinking about it.

The farewell bell rang, and everyone bowed their heads in silence.

Sanshui was exaggerated by the heavy atmosphere around him, and that proud and unyielding figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

That Konoha ninja exhausted his chakra to protect Sanshui and a baby.

If it weren't for him, Sanshui might have chosen to continue running, and then followed the people in the refuge shivering in the hut on the rock wall, waiting for the fourth generation to risk his life to seal Kyuubi.

Konoha will usher in a heavy loss, which is no different from the original.

It was these Konoha ninjas who protected Sanshui and the villagers of Konoha with their lives. Their protection and dedication again and again finally awakened the blood in Sanshui's heart.

The people who really changed the ending from the very beginning were not Sanshui, but these Konoha heroes.

Even from Sanshui's point of view, these Konoha heroes changed his life.

Different choices will lead to different results. If he chose to escape at the beginning, Sanshui would lose his heart that was full of passion.

Stepping back step by step, he may hide until the end, and will not try to change the plot anymore, but use the prophetic advantage of the plot to seek benefits.

But the current Sanshui has justice and pride in his chest, he is confident to change this ninja world, and he is confident to stand on the world stage and play a role in the situation.

I can't say which road is bad, after all, no one knows if I haven't walked it.

However, Sanshui bent down and bowed deeply to these Konoha heroes.

"Your sacrifices will not be meaningless. Konoha will be stronger and take a different path. You have guarded the future of the village. You are all well-deserved heroes."
