Ninja Shiranui

Early the next morning, it started to rain.

Konoha is located in the heart of the Land of Fire, with four distinct seasons. Commonly used words to describe it are cold winter and hot summer. There is neither warm winter nor cool summer. Now this early winter season is already very cold. This is not a big deal. The light rain may turn into snowflakes later in the day.

Yesterday's celebration has just ended, and today is the day of the funeral.

The third generation stood in front of a tombstone under the Hokage Rock. The elites of Konoha's founding era are buried here. The tombstones of the first and second generation Hokages are next to each other. Maybe in a few years, the third generation will be buried here and become a cold stone monument. , engraved with some life stories praising virtues.

Konoha does not have a funeral where all the victims are buried together and worshiped together. Many people who died in the Three Wars were buried in the soil and erected tombstones not long after they died in the war, so today they really have to be buried. There are not that many, otherwise the time in one day would not be enough.

However, this is also the most formal worship event. The three generations led the top leaders of Konoha, including the three elders, the elite jounin who are still in the village, and the clan leaders of each family, to join in the bloody battle and sacrifice for Konoha in the past three years. Life companions hold a memorial service.

The expressionless Hokage Rock in the sky was silent and silent, and there was also silence and solemnity below the Hokage Rock. The dark crowd was like black shadows, suspended in the dripping rain. The third generation did not make any exciting speeches, no Promoting the will of fire is just to maintain this quietness and miss those who have passed away.

Shima was not among these people, and he walked slowly with Itachi in the Uchiha clan's cemetery.

There were many people who did not gather under the Hokage Rock. They each brought a bouquet of white flowers and found their relatives, friends, teachers, and disciples. In short, it was the person they would think of and miss. They put down the flowers and stood silently. meeting.

In this cemetery of the Uchiha clan, there are also many shadowy figures in the rain, wearing solemn black clothes, standing silently in front of a certain tombstone.

In front of a brand new tombstone, Uchiha Yun stood silently. There was a middle-aged man beside her, who was gently pressing her head with his hand.

Could that be her father?He paused for a moment.

When a father and his daughter were mourning their dead son and brother together, it was probably inappropriate for me, an outsider, to join in.I originally thought I had nothing to do, so I wanted to look for anyone I knew, but now I thought it would be better to just stay at Hokage Rock.

"what happened?"

Itachi who was following him asked curiously.

"nothing..."

He shook his head, but then suddenly remembered that he should go see his parents, so he took a moment to search his memory, turned around and walked to the other side.

Sometimes he doesn't understand how much of his feelings for the original owner he has inherited. He only thinks of his parents at this time. Maybe it's because they died early, so they naturally feel strange.

Maybe that's true. In his memory, he didn't pay homage to his parents' gravesites many times.

The cemetery in front of me is just a flat ground with stone tablets inserted. Two names are engraved on the erected stone tablets, with the dates of their birth and death written on them.

He gently touched the surface of the stone tablet with his hand, and the wet and cold touch spread to his mind along his fingertips. This was enough to make people realize that every living person was eventually turned into such a piece of thing, and there was not even such a piece of stone with names and years engraved on it. Moon stuff.

"Are these senior Jian's parents?"

"Yeah, I don't even know what they look like."

"What do people live for?"

There was a moment of silence:

"I don't know. Maybe it's for pleasure or just to live like this and wait to die? This is a philosophical question. Although I have read a few philosophical books, I can't find the answer."

"What is philosophy?" Itachi, at his age, likes to get to the bottom of things.

"It seems to be a science that studies why all this exists. From the first moment you open your eyes after you are born, you are you. You see everything around you, parents and relatives, social interactions, food, clothing, housing, transportation, natural life, the sun and the moon. The stars, everything in the universe, all exist because of your existence, so why is this?"

"Even whether you are who you are and why you are there are all within the scope of philosophical research."

Itachi looked confused as he listened, half-understanding, as if he had touched something, and some seemed to have touched nothing at all.

"Anyway, for ordinary people, those are mysterious and mysterious things, and there is no need to think too much."

I planned to end this topic, worship in front of my parents' graves, and then go back to continue practicing.However, Itachi seemed to be really interested in philosophical issues and chased him and asked:

"Why haven't I seen the book where Senior Shujian talks about philosophy? Can you help me find it? I want to take a look."

Philosophy book?

I don’t know if it exists in this world. Anyway, I haven’t seen any related books in the Uchiha clan’s library.The reason why he has a little understanding is that when he was bored playing games and playing bricks, he found some videos about philosophy and listened to them, so he had a little understanding.

It is indeed just a little understanding. Philosophy does exist. Some things that you can understand and understand make sense to you. If you don’t understand, you simply don’t understand at all. Moreover, the things you think you understand cannot be understood. In the eyes of those who study these things, they may just be distorting other people's theories and expressing their own funny opinions like ridiculous children.

In general, I don’t understand philosophy. I used to believe in carpe diem, but now I have some motivation to climb up after playing tricks, and I am no longer interested in philosophy.

However, Itachi was unwilling to give up and asked with suppressed energy.

"There are no books about philosophy at all. Don't ask, it's all my nonsense!"

"That senior is telling me some nonsense, I like to hear it!"

"I..."

I felt a chill in my heart. Why did the Itachi who was so polite and didn't talk much suddenly disappear?Why does this guy make me feel so strange now?Am I dreaming? This experience is so terrifying!

Unfortunately, when you think about whether you are dreaming or not, it is unlikely that you are dreaming.

"Okay, but not today, I'm tired."

"Oh."

Itachi calmed down and returned to his good-natured appearance. He looked up at the rain and said, "Do you want me to hold an umbrella?"

The rain has indeed become heavier, but for ninjas, no matter how heavy the rain is, it doesn't matter. With the protection of chakra, ninjas are not so easy to catch a cold in the rain, and if they get soaked, they can quickly dry their clothes with chakra. .In addition, this black hooded hood is also a serious raincoat. It cannot be said to prevent heavy rain, but this light rain is no problem at all.

But Itachi still carried an umbrella with him, as if he was prepared for a rainy day.
