Hokage: I became Kaguya's husband
Chapter 57 The sunset in Konoha
The heavy rain hits the brightly colored cherry blossom petals in early spring, and the branches sway greatly, as if they are about to be uprooted by the strong wind.
In the middle of the dimly lit road, a burly man stood soaking wet in the rain.
The two samurai swords in this man's hands can be clearly seen even in the dark night.
The two knives were stained with rainwater, plasma and minced meat, and countless corpses lay beside their feet.
The rain became more intense, and the plasma and minced meat were carried by the rain, sliding along the blade of the katana, and finally slipped from the tip of the blade, allowing the blade to reveal its ferocious sharp edge again.
The man looked at the countless corpses around him and sighed in the rain: "Alas! Fate is so cruel..."
"Even people who are without sin will be involved without mercy."
The man spoke lightly while unapologetically looking down at the still warm body. That was his masterpiece tonight.
Suddenly, there was a sound from behind the man.
"Who!?"
The man quickly turned around, faced the direction of the sound, and shouted sharply.
With a shake of his wrist, he shook off the rainwater from his samurai sword and looked in that direction with sharp eyes.
"tread!"
"tread!"
"tread!"
The sound of the man's footsteps was clearly audible even on a rainy night with lightning and thunder.
But there was still no movement at all in front of him, as if there was nothing in that place.But the man knew that the sound just now was definitely not the sound of raindrops, so...
Thinking of this, the man held the handle of the knife in his hand again.
Closer, closer.
But there was still no movement in that direction, which made the man confused.
Gradually, he got closer and opened the grass.
"Ugh...ahhh...ah!"
I saw a little child, naked and trembling behind the cherry blossom tree.The rain had spread to his body, and the roar of the strong wind made his trembling increase, and his hands struggled painfully.
"What! A child?"
The man hummed in a very cold voice, put away the katana in his hands, and then took steps.A large dark shadow staggered closer to the child.
Standing in front of the child, the man's tall shadow covered the child.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a silver snake shimmered in the dark sky, splitting the rain curtain and illuminating the scar etched on the man's cheek.
"Haha... Look who this is? A homeless child, so young, so pitiful! Just let me end your pain!"
The man squatted down, raised the child's chin with his right hand, grinned sneer, and was about to break the child's neck, when he suddenly felt something, and his cold face became surprised:
"What? This is... God's Forsaken?... How is this possible? How can a child be God's Forsaken?"
The man released his right hand that was holding his neck and remained silent.
In this place, most human beings are believers and believe in the gods who protect the place.They are basically civilians and have no idea whether gods exist or not.
There are also some practitioners who do not believe in the gods who protect the place, but they also respect these gods.Respect these gods for protecting one side, protecting them when they are weak, and protecting their hometown.
The last one is those who commit heinous crimes. They are no longer protected by the gods who protect the place. The local gods will even hunt down and kill such people depending on the situation. This type of people are called: abandoned by gods.
His eyes flickered and his mood was tangled.Finally, the man suddenly laughed:
"Since we are both abandoned by God, it's your fate that you met me because you didn't deserve it."
He picked up the child and disappeared into the night.
......
Since then, many years later.
The day when the long cold winter ends, the night when the first wind of early spring blows.
In the town, a very incredible, annual miracle that the indigenous people are accustomed to took place:
The cherry blossom trees along the river in the town are all in bloom one night.
From that night, the town went from severe winter to spring.
"Haah, haah, haah..."
"Again, at that time..."
Waking up from the nightmare he had had so many times, Li Shichen suddenly sat up from the bed, panting heavily.
Lift up the quilt and confirm your physical condition.
Cold sweat broke out all over my body.
Li Shichen: "It's really worthless..."
Shake your head gently, take a long breath, and then exhale slowly.He often did this to calm down his body and mind. When his mind calmed down, Li Shichen got up from the bed.
Then, Li Shichen discovered that the nostalgic fragrance of flowers drifted from the gap in the slightly open window.It was the faint, faint, distinct, lingering scent of cherry blossoms.
Li Shichen opened the window completely:
"It's this scent, is it already...spring?"
Li Shichen took a deep breath, looked out the window at the town dyed cherry blossom color, and said to himself.
Streets that were covered in ice and snow just a few days ago.Now, just one night has passed, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom everywhere.In this small town, miracles like this happen every year.
The warmth of the morning air and the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms made Li Shichen feel refreshed.
Li Shichen: "Although it's still a little early...go and wake up mother!"
After Li Shichen glanced at the clock in the room, he folded the quilt skillfully and placed it in the corner of the room.
Han Yuye came to the corridor and stood in front of the door of the next room.
Knocking gently: "Mother, I am Li Shichen, are you awake?"
After waiting for a while, there was no sound or response in the room.
"mother......"
When Li Shichen was about to shout again, the door opened in the wind.
"On...?"
Li Shichen felt suspicious and looked into the room.
There is nothing inside.
"Mother...isn't there?..."
Li Shichen returned to his room and quickly put on his coat.
Put your favorite special wooden knife inside.
There is no hesitation in the whole set of movements, and it couldn't be smoother.
Li Shichen suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and ran down the stairs two steps at a time and onto the road.
Under the cherry blossom tree with beautiful flowers in bloom, stood the woman Hanyu was looking for.
——He Cangjing.
She adopted Li Shichen as a child from an orphanage and raised him single-handedly, becoming a mother-like person.
Gentle, elegant, and quiet, like the water flowing quietly in a small river, sacred and peaceful.At the same time, she has a slightly childish face and a slender body, and is as beautiful as the blooming cherry blossoms.
At this time, she looked up at the blooming cherry blossoms above her head, with a melancholy look in her eyes.It's like being deep in thought or worrying about something.
This scene was so dreamy, beautiful, and inaccessible that Han Yuya even forgot to make a sound and was mesmerized for a moment.
But the sound of Hanyu Ye's voice still brought Hekura Shizuru out of his thoughts and turned to look at Hanyu Ye who was stunned in place.
Wakura Shizu smiled as warmly as the spring breeze and spoke to Hanyu Ye:
"Morning! Hanyuya."
Han Yuye walked up to He Cangjing and saluted politely.
He Cangjing: "Mr. Fox came last night, spring is finally here!"
'Lord Fox has arrived! '
——As long as you are a resident of this small town, you will definitely know this sentence.
In early spring, the cherry blossoms in their own buds will bloom overnight.
This is because this town is under the protection of Lord Fox, and everyone in the town believes in Lord Fox.
In order to repay the villagers, Master Fox will use his divine power to bring the miracle of cherry blossoms to the town on an early spring night.
Han Yuya: "Yeah!"
Wakura Shizu: "The store will be busy in the future, so let's go to worship today!"
Every year when the cherry blossoms bloom, people in the town will think of Kitsune-sama, and then spontaneously go to the shrine to worship. There are also tourists from outside.
For the residents of the small town, visiting the shrine every year is already a common thing.
The two of them were ready to go out and decided to take the tram to the shrine at the foot of the mountain.
On the way, the two passed by a familiar man.
In the middle of the dimly lit road, a burly man stood soaking wet in the rain.
The two samurai swords in this man's hands can be clearly seen even in the dark night.
