"Kushina."

The red-haired girl was sitting on the swing, her eyes full of darkness. At this time, a woman's voice often came.

It was such a gentle voice, soft and soft, as if treating some treasure.

Kushina turned her eyes and saw the old man who adopted her.

His name is Uzumaki Mito, and he is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, but he got married a long, long time ago.

Of course Kushina knew her, because the person she married was the famous first Hokage of Konoha Village.

The first Hokage, known as the God of Ninja, is still a legend in the Ninja world. No one has doubted his reputation as the God of Ninja. As his wife, Uzumaki Mito's status is not low.

"what happened?"

"Here we are again."

Mito is old, and it's clear from his appearance.

She just sat on the swing next to her and chatted with Kushina, but Kushina didn't answer her.

She couldn't figure it out.

Why is he the only one who survives?

Why did my fellow tribesmen fall in front of me one by one, but in the end it was me, an inconspicuous person, who survived.

Kushina couldn't accept it, it was a nightmare, but she can still see clearly now when she closes her eyes.

The picture that emerged will be etched in that time forever.

"Um--"

Mito started to swing on the swing. He was obviously very old, but he still looked like a child at this time.

"I really miss it. I used to like this so much when I was your age, hahaha."

Mito's figure swayed on the swing, up and down, back and forth, his tied hair spread out and fluttering in the wind.

For a moment, it seemed that time had slipped back, and the person swinging on the swing at this moment looked like a girl of several years old.

The swing squeaked a little, and Mito swung much lighter.

Kushina couldn't help it, and looked over, only to find that Mito's eyes were looking at her from beginning to end.

"that--"

"Call Mito Grandma."

""

"Why save me?"

"I just - why are you like this, and you are like this, I don't deserve it."

Kushina lowered her head.

Mito's feet landed and the swing stopped.

"Hmm - why?"

Mito looked thoughtful.

"It must be because I want to do it."

"Me too, and so do everyone. It must be because I want to do it. It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not. It's just that I want to do it. The meaning of life is not as simple as whether it's worth it or not."

Mito's voice was soft, and the surroundings happened to be quiet. It was afternoon, and the cool yet warm weather made people relax.

"I am already old, so I understand this person. Life is not just a simple matter, but the hidden meaning is even more difficult."

Mito laughed at himself a little and smiled again.

"but!"

"but?"

Kushina wanted to say her unworthy words again, but found that when the words reached her lips, she could no longer say them.

Looking forward, he had Mito's kind smile.

"Don't understand. If you don't understand, just be fine. Just live well and you will know."

"Humans, the longer they live, the more they understand."

Mito pointed at himself and raised his eyebrows.

"Look, this is living proof."

Kushina opened her mouth slightly, but nothing came out.

"Okay, let's go home. It's almost dinner time. It's okay to eat early today. I want to have a good meal tonight."

"After eating, have a good rest and sleep. Tomorrow will come, and then a new day will begin again."

Mito stood up, walked to Kushina, and rubbed her red hair of the same color.

It was really soft, and it was not much better than her old hair. Mito seemed to understand why that fool said that her hair was beautiful.

Because look, the red hair in front of you is so beautiful.

Mito let go of Kushina's hand on her head and stretched out his hand to her, motioning for her to extend her hand.

Kushina looked at her hands and then at her, but didn't make any move immediately.

Mito shook his hand again, and at this moment Kushina half pushed and held Mito's hand.

There are some wrinkles, but it feels warm and substantial.

"go home."

The red-haired woman holds the red-haired girl's hand.

The old wrinkled hand held the young hand, walking step by step on the way home——

"Grandma Mito."

"I will survive well."

Kushina walked in the corridor of this home and looked at all the rooms and places.

There is no warmth in this place, and the person who always walks around here slowly and does housework is no longer there.

"Goodbye."

The door closed gently, making a slight sound that echoed in the empty room, again and again, lingering, as if saying to the people who were leaving:

Take care along the way

look back -

Her hero was standing there, waiting quietly. If it was normal, he might have been sitting on the ground. If it was too much, he might not just fall asleep.

Because her hero is such a lazy guy, who can lie down or not, sit or stand, and has no pursuit. He just hopes to live a good life and open a small shop in the future.

But such a guy would work so hard to protect her, and his back would always be at the forefront of danger.

Kushina smiled, her home was behind her, and his home was in front of her.

"Have you agreed?"

"Ah."

"It's time to say goodbye properly."

Kushina answered with a smile. Tsukiki hesitated and spoke again:

"Welcome back."

""

"Well, I'm back!"

Kushina was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and answered.

The past is behind you and the future is ahead.

Kushina took a step forward, saying goodbye to the past, and it was time to move towards the future.

"Take care along the way."

There was still a gentle voice in the ear, so familiar, so familiar. It turned into a pair of hands and gently touched Kushina's back, as if hugging Kushina, but only for a moment. The next moment, these hands gently Gently pushing Kushina forward.

Kushina did not look back, clenched her hands into fists, and walked firmly step by step.

The moon tree stood side by side, and their shadows were gently linked together with the afterglow of dusk, turning into a single figure.

It walks slowly, gently towards the future——
