Path of the Giants of the Autumn Path of the Leaf

Konoha, inside Naruto's old apartment.

The room was quiet, and the sky outside the window was almost bright.For some reason in the second half of the night, Naruto felt like he couldn't sleep well, and he tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

Sleepiness is light and easy to fall asleep.

In the hazy dream state, the surrounding scenery was not very clear.

Fortunately, he could vaguely recognize that he was still in Konoha. The streets were bustling with people, and he caught a glimpse of two figures standing next to him out of the corner of his eye.

Naruto looked around and could only see two white figures standing next to him, one on the left and one on the right. They were smiling but could tell that they were smiling.He has no memory of what his parents looked like, and he can't even dream about them.

It's just that I haven't had such a dream for a long time. There are too many things going on in the village recently, and the training is too tiring.

I heard the perverse old man from the third generation say that his parents died to protect the village, just like the fourth generation Hokage.Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly wasn't so unhappy anymore.

He has now become a ninja and followed the path of his parents.

Feeling the lingering warmth left behind by his parents on the path of ninja, inheriting their will, and maybe one day dying for the village.

"Um... Odo-san Ogasan (father, mother)." Naruto scratched his head shyly and said with a smile, "I've been doing very well recently, and... .”

Before he finished speaking, a familiar figure walked out of the crowd on the street.

Looking at Akimichi Suikage walking towards him with a smile, Naruto was a little confused. He didn't know why he dreamed of that unreliable guy Akimichi Suikage in his dream.

"What are you laughing at?" Naruto looked back unnaturally and glanced at the two silhouettes of his parents behind him.

I was afraid of being laughed at by that guy, but then I thought it was a dream, and I no longer worried about it.

"I'm laughing at you, are you still dreaming about being the Hokage?" Akimichi Shuijing's smile looked a bit catchy.

Naruto knew that Akimichi Shuikage was not like this on weekdays. The guy always had a peaceful smile on his face, and he had not seen any change, as if he was wearing a mask.

"I will definitely become Hokage in the future!"

"Hokage? It's so boring. Is this what you really think?" Akimichi Mizukyou said in a long tone, squinting at Naruto.

Naruto was a little uncomfortable being stared at, and felt out of breath for no reason.It was obviously in his dream. Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but feel more confident. He puffed up his chest and tried again.

"I am the man who wants to become Hokage!"

"What's so good about this village is that it's so unpopular." As he said this, Akidao Shuijing waved his hand.

With a bang, Konoha, which was originally daytime, instantly entered the night. The village suddenly burst into flames, and the entire peaceful and peaceful style collapsed instantly.

A huge nine-tailed fox went crazy under the cold full moon. The towering giant pushed the entire village to the ground, and the cold voice of Akimichi Suijing rang from his ears.

"You just want to be Hokage, right? It doesn't matter if everyone in the village dies."

"Hey!"

Naruto suddenly sat up from the bed, his pupils tightened, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

An inexplicable dream... Naruto lowered his head and sat on the bed to relax for a while, thinking that he might really become an enemy when he met Akimichi Suijing in the future, and he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Dawn, Caoyin Village.

Shiina Rin wiped off the blood on the knife and found the miko Kitagawa Sakura in the high-rise meeting building of Kusakakure Village.

The corridor was full of blood, and the walls were full of signs of erosion.The floor was covered in dark red blood, and the smell of fire filled the air.

Opening the door, the huge conference room was empty, with blood all over the floor.

On the only intact chair, the miko Kitagawa Sakura was sitting on it, with a cold expression and a hint of weakness.

"Are you here?" The witch forced a smile.

With a clang, a piece of the burned ceiling fell down without warning, hitting Rin Shiina's feet hard.The moment it hit the ground, it shattered into black powdery slag with a bang.

It was just dawn and there was not enough light.

Under Shiina Rin's surprised gaze, Miko Kitagawa Sakura actually grabbed the armrests of the chair and forced herself to stand up.Midway, Shiina Rin wanted to help, but Kitagawa Sakura stopped her with her eyes.

"You don't have to work so hard." Shiina Rin said helplessly.

It was obvious that the top management of Caoyin Village had been dealt with.

"The blood mist is getting harder and harder to control. I originally wanted to leave a few puppets to stabilize the situation." Miko Kitagawa Sakura whispered, her voice unexpectedly low.

"Why is that guy going to the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

"I don't know." Miko Kitagawa Sakura shook her head, "I just said that we must drag him until he comes back. It seems to be something very important."

"Is it important?" Shiina Rin frowned, "If you had managed to contact me instead, I'm afraid that even Kusagakure Village hasn't been cleaned up yet."

"Besides, after finally conquering the Country of Grass, what's more important than guarding the Hidden Grass Village?" Shiina Rin exhaled and said, "He seems to be avoiding me, and he doesn't even want to trouble me."

"To be honest, I didn't expect him to be..."

"Actually, when I accepted him as my disciple, I knew that this guy was quite a jerk. The only good thing about him is that he has a conscience. Since you handed over Jinghai to him, he can naturally boss me around, and I don't know what he is hiding from. "

"Is it possible that I can take his position? It's really..."

Listening to Shiina Rin's rambling complaints, Kitagawa Sakura just looked at her with a smile.

In her memory, the Shiina Rin she knew was a person who drank all day long to relieve his sorrows and ran for revenge every day.There was a smile on his face, but the coldest ice was in his heart.

Even the miko herself couldn't guarantee that Rin Shiina really cared about her.

But now... Shiina Rin seemed to have some changes. Kitagawa Sakura subconsciously felt that the ice in Shiina Rin's heart seemed to be slowly thawing.

"If you can't hold it, hold it off, that's what he said." The witch smiled, "Besides, there will always be a way."

"A way to die." Shiina Rin muttered, "Why did you blindly accept him as your disciple in the first place, but now you have to fight for him."

"There must be a witch in the Kingdom of Ghosts. Could she be..."

"Probably not." Miko Kitagawa Sakura said, "Actually, this is not bad. We, a group of people, have finally waited for the Son of God. This is our salvation."

"All the people in the Sea of ​​Tranquility are incomplete, like scattered puzzle pieces."

"Kazema Mu has always wanted to save her sister's soul from her body. No one will believe her, and no one can do it except God."

"Whether it's you or me or Kazama Kure, no one wants this weird ability." Kitagawa Sakura paused, staring at Shiina Rin with burning eyes and said, "The nightmare of revenge is haunting you, the nightmare of restoration. It also makes me miserable.”

"These are not your choices or mine, but we have no way out. We can only advance but not retreat. It depends on who can wait for redemption."
