Becoming a voidwalker begins with Hokage

Chapter 135 134, Worship and Kakashi

That night.

Sanshengling's slender back stepped out of the door, and stood on the street blankly for a long time, looking at the deserted street, after a long time, she suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning, and was surprised that her back was soaked in cold sweat.

It was cold and deserted outside, but the lights inside were brightly lit, and there were endless flowers and wine, and high drinking.

Pairs of eyes do not know where to hide, silently staring at Sansheng Ling's leaving back.

But no one could see, a crow was standing quietly at the top of the chimney on the roof opposite the building at this time, the bird's head was slightly tilted, turning around and looking at something.

On the other side, after being separated from Sansheng Ling, the six people walked in front of the group, pretending to be normal, looking for a hotel where they can stay temporarily.

There are very few people on the road. During the war, border towns, plus they belonged to the agricultural society, the productive forces were not liberated. Most ordinary people still observe the state of sunset and rest. Those who wander outside at night are generally practitioners of special occupations. By.

Of course, it also includes businessmen, travelers... and even ninjas and samurai.

And the buildings that are constantly lit at night are often these two types, hotels... or places with red lights.

Wu Xueyang and the others found a shop with a fairly good traffic flow, and even if they were walking on the road, they could still hear loud voices inside.

A figure crossed with the crowd, the bamboo hat covered his face, he stepped out of the bright hall, his shadow was drawn long by the electric light, and reflected on the door.

Wu Xueyang, who was walking second among the crowd, paused slightly, then turned to look at the back of the other party.

The different gray tight clothes in front of him are the standard equipment of ordinary ninjas wandering in this big world. It is not surprising, but what caught Wu Xueyang's attention... was the flashing black line on the other's bare arm .

It's hard to see clearly in the dark, but Wu Xueyang's powerful image analysis ability is still enough to confirm, at the moment when the two sides meet.

Under the illumination of the light, there was a thick black thread on the opponent's arm that seemed to be cut off and then stitched together again.

As if aware of being watched, the figure stopped sharply, and the green eyes under the bamboo hat instantly turned - looked at each other.

In the next second, Wu Xueyang looked away, and followed everyone into the hotel.

Is that... Kakuto?
There was a slight ripple in his heart, and he fell into deep thought again.

The figures on the street stared at the place where they disappeared and paused for a moment. After finding nothing suspicious, they turned around and let out a muffled grunt, before leaving slowly.

……

In the other place, the burial place in Muye Village, in the silent night, the memorial tablet stands at the entrance reflecting the silvery moonlight.

Even though it was late at night, there was still a thin figure walking slowly on this road.

He went straight over the comfort monument in front of him, and above half of his face covered by the mask was a pair of expressionless, extremely indifferent eyes.

Holding a bouquet of white flowers, he walked towards the tombstone in the deepest corner—

Suddenly, he stopped, and looked at the shameful stele in astonishment. It was withered and withered, and the bouquet left by the last memorial ceremony had long since disappeared. Instead, a bouquet that had only been placed for a few days lay quietly. put it on top.

He was originally expressionless with a hint of doubt, walked forward, and after quietly putting down the flower in his hand, he took two steps back and stood there for a few seconds.

Time is precious, and he doesn't intend to stay for too long.

It's just... this other bouquet...

Hatake Kakashi narrowed his eyes, and quickly scanned around the huge cemetery, and soon found a new monument in a deeper corner.

The reason why I noticed this deepest corner that almost no one would reach was because there was a bouquet of flowers that was as dry as the one in front of his tomb.

Hmm...should have arrived around the same time.

There are two names engraved on it, which is obviously not a strict burial tomb, Hatake Kakashi raised his eyebrows... Even the stele seems to be carved by himself.

Instead of resolving his doubts, this made him even more confused.

"Kakashi, hello, I heard Murano said you're here..."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps running behind him, and he didn't even have to turn his head to know that it was some idiot——

Maite Kai, a guy who doesn't know when he started, treats him as a challenger, and pesters him every day.

But... it can be regarded as his only friend besides his companions.

"It's really you. Even when I come back to the village, I've been doing tasks non-stop. It's really hard to find you."

Maitekai ran to Hatake Kakashi's side, wiped his sweat helplessly, and glanced at him.

"Ah, otherwise."

Kakashi responded, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he turned his head, blocked the other party's mouth presciently, and changed the subject.

"How are your teammates?"

If you don't do this, the other party might say a few slogans full of enthusiasm and challenge him first—it's too annoying.

"Oh...it's almost recovered!" Maitekai clenched his fist and said, "Maybe we can fight side by side again in a few days!"

"is it?"

Kakashi looked back and fell silent.

It's dangerous to continue talking about this topic. After all, as the other party's friend, he more or less knows how big a blow Maite Dai's sacrifice is to the other party.

What's more... He looked at the tombstone in front of him, clenched his fists and then quickly released them.

Both are fathers, and both sacrificed to save others.

Same...but different.

One is a waste, the other is a hero, and the difference lies in whether it is to complete the task. Sure enough... the task is the only criterion for judging a ninja.

Kakashi fell silent, and Maitekai on the side didn't care much. Compared with Kakashi, he was more bold and didn't think so much.

"But having said that, why are you standing in front of the tombs of Suo Qing and Wu Ze, ah, is it because of Wu Xueyang?"

"Wu Xueyang?"

Kakashi was slightly taken aback, and the strange guy he met in front of the village flashed inexplicably in his mind.

Is it about that guy?
Frankly speaking, he is actually somewhat interested in the other party, otherwise he would not communicate with the other party at the intersection, and he would not even bother to answer other people's words.

After all, the other party can be regarded as one of the "geniuses" that Konoha is shaping and promoting to stabilize the hearts of the people. As a ninja, he cooperates with the team to solve a ninja. This record is indeed shocking.

As long as genius is mentioned, it is bound to be compared with him—even if vanity is not in mind, it will be noticed more or less.

What kind of person can achieve the same level of excellence as himself.

but……

He frowned, and couldn't help asking: "I know him, but why... would he put flowers in front of my father's monument?"

This kind of behavior is too inexplicable, right?
"Ah... this one."

Maitekai touched his head, looked at Kakashi in front of him, and suddenly didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Since he was also present when Wu Xueyang went to pay homage to Hatake Zuoyun, he also asked similar questions.

Wu Xueyang's answer was very simple, but to Kakashi, it might be a violent statement.

On that day, he still remembered Wu Xueyang's relaxed expression, so he stood with him in front of the comfort monument, and said indifferently:
"Because none of them can go to the memorial monument."

"Huh?" I turned around in astonishment.

Fang Cai explained with a chuckle: "The people I worship are the two ninjas who saved me, but they acted without permission to save the civilians, which led to the failure of the mission. Their names have not been engraved on it so far. .”

"I don't know what others think, but they are undoubtedly heroes in my mind."

"So after hearing what you said about Konoha Baiya, I think he is also a hero, but I look at the flowers in front of his tomb...I'm afraid no one has been here for a long time."

"Isn't it miserable for such a person to be reduced to such a lonely end?"

"Well! Since the people he saved and other people are unwilling to come to worship, then I will replace them and say thank you often."

"It is precisely because of people like them that we weak people can feel at ease."

The other party said it with a smile, and the tone was full of free and easy but serious emotions.

Even with thick nerves, he can clearly feel that the other party and Kakashi are completely different, with completely different attitudes.

Mitekai looked at Kakashi hesitantly, but under the pressure of the other party's faint expression, he finally touched his head and described it again.

After listening, Hatake Kakashi was silent for a while, and suddenly his eyes drooped, and no expression could be seen under the mask: "Oh, worship..."

"Did you not stop him?"

"Ah, why do you want to stop it?" Maitekai was puzzled, and he said helplessly: "Kakashi, no matter what your father did wrong in your mind, he is your father after all, and it's a good thing someone came to see him ..."

"Also, you really don't come here very often—"

"It's not a question of whether you did something wrong or not." Kakashi turned around lightly after hearing that, "I never hated him, it's just—"

"It's cowardly to wallow in the grief of loss and the past."

"Worshiping this kind of thing, it's enough to come and see each other once in a while. What we should do is to carry the other party's regrets, hopes, and even things that need to be made up after mistakes, and keep going."

"Thank him for me, but it's not necessary." Kakashi finally turned his head and said, "I will come here as often as possible in the future."

"Oh!"

Mitekai stared blankly at Kakashi leaving, blinking.

It is true to say so, but, one can laugh and report to the dead in the cemetery about the little things that happened around him today, while the other regards the behavior of the dead as a mistake, and wants to atone for the other's sins by forming shackles, biting Grinding his teeth and forcing himself to keep moving forward... Who the hell is stuck in the past and can't get out.

He's also quite stupid, and he can't be persuaded. Kakashi is so smart, so he can only hope that he can figure it out as soon as possible.

Maitekai sighed, turned his head to look at the empty cemetery, and suddenly scratched his head for a moment.

Eh no.

Why did I come to see Kakashi? !
"No! Kakashi, don't leave yet! Let's compete, let me see if you stand still after two months of blood!!"

……

In Hokage's office, Hiruzaru Sarutobi who was sitting on the table lit the lamp and rubbed the space between his brows wearily.

Suddenly, there was a wave of distorted light coming from the gap in the drawer. Hiruzaru Sarutobi was taken aback for a moment, and before he had time to open the drawer, a whirlwind erupted in front of him——

Ahem... The paper blew off a bit, and a golden hair tip appeared in front of her.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned over the pipe helplessly and knocked it, while soothing the choking throat a little: "You are back."

"Hi!"

Minato Namikaze came back to his senses, glanced at the messy table, and smiled brightly without losing embarrassment: "The third unit of the cloud ninja front has been confirmed to evacuate, and the tail has been cleaned, and the task has been successfully completed! Hehe!"

"but."

Having said that, Minato Namikaze suppressed his smile, jumped off the table and said seriously: "Master Hokage, two weeks ago, I collided with the AB group several times, but now, I can't find the other party even after traveling hundreds of miles." No trace, the biggest reason why the teacher asked me to come back is this..."

"Raikage and his guards may have already switched routes to the west—the role of our remaining in the east is already extremely limited."

"Hmm... Jiraiya and Orochimaru have already reported these things, let's not talk about things that need to be considered for a long time, but Minato, haven't you gone back yet?"

"Hey, with my current ability, the launch distance of Flying Thunder God is still limited, and long-distance transfer is too energy-intensive, so I chose the Hokage Building at the first time." Hearing this, Namikaze Minato scratched his head and said with a hearty smile: "But It shouldn't matter, I'll go see the students first, and then I should have time to go back."

"Hmm..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled lightly, and said helplessly, "You guys just got married, so you should go back and see Kushina first."

"Haha, Kushina will understand." Namikaze Minato hugged his chest, and suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that Master Orochimaru has accepted a new disciple? Shouldn't we be seeing each other."

"Oh? You are quite well-informed about this news, and I told you when I came here?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi paused, shook his head and said, "However, you should not see him in a short time, he is currently performing related tasks."

"Executing the mission? I remember that he just became a disciple of Oshemaru teacher for less than a month, right?"

"Well, but Orochimaru insists on this, haha. It is said that what kind of war is the best training ground, but I think he is usually indifferent to everything, and he doesn't care about Jiraiya, but in the end I still In a hurry."

"Well, let me see, if nothing unexpected—"

He lowered his head, looked at the map, and quickly tapped the pipe on Tian Zhiguo's place and said, "He should be almost here now."

"Tian Country?"

"Well, Orochimaru led the troops in Tianzhi Country for more than a year, and infiltrated many intelligence points there. Since it is to collect information, Orochimaru will definitely arrange for him to go there."

"..."

Namikaze Minato's voice didn't continue to sound, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head in doubt, and saw the other party was frowning tightly, his eyes were fixed on the map.

"Then there are some problems."

"According to the traces of the battlefield and the analysis of my teacher and me, if there is no accident...the main force of Raikage and his guard should also go to Tianzhi Country."
