Konoha's Strongest Brother

Chapter 290 Let's Talk, Father

Here is a waterfall, the waves are piled up layer by layer, and the flowing water above the cliff is pouring down at an extremely fast speed. good.

Duan Ren suddenly woke up here. He found himself sitting on a cliff a little far away from the waterfall. He didn't know where it was or how he got here, but the next moment, he was holding a white The teeth were tense, he remembered that he was fighting against the roots before.

The environment here is like Mt. Miaomu, but it doesn’t have the unique atmosphere of Mt. Miaomu. In the misty mist, Duan Ren held his knife on guard for a long time, and he finally relaxed and observed the surrounding forms because of the proximity to the water. This place is quite fertile. In early spring, the flowers and plants are already blooming very well. The fields all over the mountains and plains are covered with blue. Looking at the sky, there is nothing but blue. Hundreds of layers of waves near the big water pool swept over the surrounding moss and forests. The green hills are transparent, the beautiful trees and flowers are swinging their heads, and the scenery is beautiful - this place is a bit surprisingly beautiful, it doesn't look like the real world at all.

Duan Ren adjusted his breath secretly, only to find that there was no injury on his body, he had entered the full state, but it was a strange feeling that he could not feel the existence of natural breath here, but the spiritual energy was terrifyingly strong, and Duan Ren Blade looked at the scenery outside the waterfall and tried to comprehend it with the cultivation method of fairy art. It seemed that a novel and mysterious world was opening to him, but when he looked at it again, it closed. It was only for a moment, but he felt a little dizzy .

White Fang trembled slightly, a strong middle-aged man with white hair came over, his thick cheeks made him look very majestic, his body was not muscular yet gave off a strong feeling, he came to Duan Ren's side, He looked at Duan Ren curiously, but remained silent, and did not speak for the time being.

Duan Ren was still on guard at first, but after seeing the middle-aged man's face clearly, he slowly lowered White Fang.

Duan Ren looked at the lush spring scenery around him, then at the middle-aged man, and asked hesitantly in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"I know you have a lot of doubts, listen to me to tell you slowly." The middle-aged man said calmly after a moment of silence: "You ask me why I am here, it is better to say what is this place? In fact, this is your spiritual space. You will come here when you are near death. I left this trace in your spiritual space long ago. The me you see now is not the real me, but a ray of my will , the real me is probably dead... If I hadn't died, I wouldn't have let you face danger."

Duan Ren frowned, thought for a moment and said: "So, I am indeed dead, it's a pity, I wanted to see Kakashi again, and you, I thought I would... no Thinking of you is just a trace."

The middle-aged man said peacefully: "You can't say that about Duan Ren. You haven't really died yet. You will meet the God of Reaper, but the God of Reaper is actually just a very powerful ninja. He is not absolutely invincible. Do you understand?"

After thinking for a while, Duan Ren replied: "For me, there is only a gap between strength and weakness, but no distinction between superiority and inferiority. I am not very afraid of that ninja named 'Reaper'."

"That's good."

"So, are we here waiting for his arrival?"

The middle-aged man lightly brushed his slightly whitish temples, and said slowly: "That's not necessary, you will only meet the god of death when you go out of this space, and you won't meet him yet."

"That said, we've got a long time to stay here, right?"

"That's right." The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "But if you don't get out as soon as possible, the outside body will lose its vitality, and it may even be destroyed by someone."

"Leave that alone."

Duan Ren quietly looked at the middle-aged man, thinking about it, he hadn't seen him for almost 20 years. This face was still very familiar, but he had kept it in his heart and never forgotten it. Those memories from the past were like a dense spider The net, as long as it sticks a little, it will be firmly stuck in, Duan Ren suddenly found that he has a lot of questions that he wants to ask, some of which he wants to know the answer to, and some of which he doesn't need.

He should also really want to know what happened in these years. If there is no concern, why did he leave this trace in his spiritual space? Before his departure, he and Kakashi were struggling to survive. I hated him once, but with the passage of time, those things are meaningless, and looking at him now is all a touch of emotion.

Duan Ren said softly: "Let's have a good talk, Father."

……

……

"When you left, it was the autumn of Konoha's 39th year, and now, it's the spring of Konoha's 56th year."

"Really, it's been such a long time, I really didn't expect it!"

"Do you want to know how you died?"

"Let's talk about it."

"You committed suicide, huh... just because of a mission to save your companions, you voluntarily gave up the mission, returned to the village and was criticized by many people... and then you committed suicide."

On the green grass, Duan Ren looked at his father, that once powerful man, Sakumo Hatake, he opened his mouth and yelled, crying like a child, but also grinning, even if it was a smile , It also seems to be a mockery of the ninja world, and it also seems to be a chuckle of plain emotion.

Hatake Sakumo clenched his fist, looked at Duan Ren and shook his head, "Really, that's such a pity, Duan Ren, you've had a hard time these past few years, and Kakashi."

Duan Ren took Bai Fang's dagger in his hand, looked at him and replied seriously: "Yes."

"Feel sorry!"

"Actually... needless to say I'm sorry, it's like something that was supposed to happen, it just happened peacefully."

"How's Kakashi?"

"Fortunately, Kakashi is very talented. He has become the Jonin of the village. In terms of strength, he has reached the peak of the elite Jnin. He still needs opportunities to grow into a real strong man."

"Really? That's really nice."

"It's not too good, you know, Kakashi is 22 years old, but he hasn't even had a girlfriend, let alone married and have children. I keep talking about him, but he just can't listen ...But fortunately, there is a girl who likes Kakashi very much, and she is still single, and Kakashi still plays."

"That's great."

"However, I think Kakashi still needs to take the initiative. How can he let others take the initiative? Lin has also become a very good ninja. Our family doesn't have many people. Now it's not an era where you can pick whatever you want."

"Hehe." Hatake Sakumo smiled.

Duan Ren looked at Hatake Sakumo strangely, shook his head helplessly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing, you really look like a parent now, which is good."

There was no emotion on Duan Ren's face, and he calmly replied: "I don't know when it will become like this."

"Broken Blade, tell me about your business."

"My business? Actually, there is nothing to say."

"Duan Ren, you have become a truly excellent ninja, I can feel it."

"There's nothing to hide about that, really."

Hatake Sakumo suddenly asked, "Do you hate me?"

Duan Ren thought for a while, and replied: "At first, I hated it. I can't imagine you dying so easily. I also hate myself a little bit. I should say something more."

"I don't know what happened, but it certainly wasn't going to be a good day."

"Yes, I don't know what happened at that time. The result is that you committed suicide."

"I'm sorry, Broken Blade, you still have Kakashi, you said you hated it at first, but what happened later?"

Duan Ren shook his head slowly, and said flatly: "Later, I slowly realized that it was just a choice. Everyone has to make a lot of choices, right? You must have your own thinking, and that is yours." Ninja, I don't want to inherit your ninja, but I learned from you a ninja's determination to carry out his ninja, which is enough... I have been looking for my own ninja these years, although I haven't completely Formed, but I'm going to keep looking, that's what I learned from you."

Duan Ren was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "It feels good to see you again."

Hatake Sakumo was stunned, then laughed happily, two lines of clear water stains slowly dripped from the corners of his eyes, and then slowly shook his head.

The two sat together for a long, long time, chatting about the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen, why Duan Ren was in danger, and everything that Duan Ren had happened over the years, his growth, etc. Wait, after talking for a long time, Duan Ren didn't hide too much, most of the time he was talking after death, and Hatake Sakumo was listening, and occasionally asked a few words.

After chatting, Hatake Sakumo stared into Duan Ren's eyes, and said solemnly: "Duan Ren, you still need a stronger power to scare the god of death and walk firmly on this road."

Duan Ren asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Hatake Sakumo stood up, and there seemed to be a force growing vigorously all over his body, and then he heard his sonorous and powerful voice.

"You still haven't understood what the will of the sword is."
