Naruto's caged bird

Chapter 206: White

The neat cemetery, the monuments are like a forest and densely packed with characters, and each body is placed...

Gray sky and loneliness. Hinata Hizashi, who was alone, placed one of the flowers in front of the tombstone in front of him. Only the white bunch in my hand was left...

......

History has its strong inertia. The stars that suddenly appear in this world will eventually be dragged by his powerful gravity. Even if it suddenly shines brightly, in the end it will just flash by like the most dazzling comet that orbits once every 76 years. Or, make a big hole

In the final stage of the Second Ninja War, those who finally went to the Kingdom of Wind were still the disciples of the Third Hokage, the "Three Ninjas of Konoha" Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Senju Tsunade. At the same time, appearing on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind were the three disaster beasts that shocked the entire ninja world upon their appearance.

Huge snakes, huge toads, and huge slugs, like monsters, they pushed towards the unmoving desert of the Kingdom of Wind all year round, but they finally ushered in the one-tailed Shukaku who was forcibly controlled by the Sand Ninja of the Kingdom of Wind. The wild Ichibi Shukaku seemed to be on the side of justice at this moment, resisting the monsters in the eyes of the three ninjas just like Ultraman fighting monsters.

Perhaps, it was at this time that Gamabunta successfully met Ichibi Shukaku. And the toad dagger that cut off the sand's arm in the future also had the opportunity to chop down Ichibi Shukaku's body again and again...

After several months, the Second Ninja World War failed to end as quickly as Hatake Sakumo expected, nor did it return to peace as Jiraiya wrote. It fell into endless consumption and record losses. The entire ninja world was shrouded in more intense resentment and hatred, which was as gray as the sky above this time.

Looking at this day, Hizashi wondered what the final battle of the Second Ninja War would be like if Hatake Sakumo led the team again. But he knew that this would never happen again. Of those two equally powerful white-haired men of the same generation in the history of Naruto, the return of one means the departure of the other. The same ending, just as heroes always have their end...

The history of the ninja world has returned to what it should have been. Konoha White Fang, who most wanted to go to the battlefield to change everything, was left in the village as if forgotten. He was left to endure the backs, looks, complaints, and cries that became more intense every day due to the war losses in the village...

The protracted war has brought unimaginable pain to the people of the Fire Nation, and new deaths are spreading every moment in the Fire Nation and Konoha Village. And for the lost war advantage and everything that the Fire Country Konoha Village has lost, a heavyweight needs to be atonement. It needs a place to vent.

And under the guidance of a certain kind of public opinion, Konoha White Fang, who indirectly caused all this because of the failure of the mission, finally became the target of public criticism. The person in the center of the whirlpool has to endure the disgusted looks of others even when he is walking or eating. That is a shadow that is more chilling than a white eye. As long as he is in the village, the power of public opinion will continue, grow, and breed...

The loss of the country, the resentment of the people, the death of the son, and the future of the child...

Youyou's mouth, which can kill people, and public opinion cannot penetrate the iron bones of Konoha White Ya, but in his heart he loves this village, his disciples, and even more, his son who can grow up normally in the sun.

They hurt the people he cares about

In the spring of Konoha 36, ​​after spending the last New Year with his son Kakashi, my teacher Sakumo Hatake resolutely embarked on the road of no return in history. He chose to take away all the pain and the hatred that enveloped him.

......

I placed the second bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone in front of me, white. The first bunch was given to the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree in another place just now.

Hizashi stared at the tombstone in front of him quietly. When he saw "Hatake Sakumo" engraved on the inscription again, he still couldn't accept the ending that originally belonged to him in the plot. Even before that, he had tried countless times to talk to his teacher Sakumo Hatake. Just like the principle of "If you are uneasy about your small family, how can you calm down the world?" However, as a rescued disciple, he could not say: "Teacher, if it were me, I would do the same thing", which would only appear to rub salt in the wound. .

And the final result was that the news of "atonement" came from the market message in the early morning of one day.

Is that atonement?

At that moment, Hizashi asked himself, shouldn't all strong people have a strong heart, and shouldn't they all be immune to the influence of rumors and influence?

The real reason is because the blame from someone is because of a failure in his ninja career or because the people he cares about are hurt, and because his son Kakashi is constantly affected by public opinion.

He should have been like a hero and a soldier, even if he failed, he should have been on the battlefield.

But the strong one finally follows his own will

With the pain in his heart, Hizashi solidified the stone tablet in front of him

The marble monument in front of me is square and straight. It does not have the rounded curvature due to polishing, and it is not made of expensive materials. He just stands in this cemetery, neither low nor wide, and there are no too many inscriptions describing it.

The only thing engraved on it was four words, his name "Hatake Sakumo", not the resounding title "Konoha White Fang". Maybe there are some crooked light scratches up to the knees, and the bouquet of white flowers that have been placed in advance...

Who left it?

Hizashi, who came late, gently gathered the scattered bouquets together. Maybe they were placed by Mikoto, who came earlier, or by Reiko Hatake, who came often, or by Kakashi, who always wanted to pry open the inscription. Put it. Now, finally, no one will nag behind Kakashi's back, because all the sins disappeared after the person in front of him left and "atoneed". It seems that there is finally no need to talk about it anymore...

"...It's because of his father...that he..."

At this moment when the person who misses you is your destination, Kakashi should want to hear those words again, and want someone to continue to complain about his father. Keep looking for another reason to beat those guys up.

The plot is neatly revised like the stereotyped and dark text. It turned so suddenly, but it had already happened in Hizashi's memory. He looked at the fragments of tombstones.

Many years later, looking back on the past.

In addition to the dust-covered records in the archives, who else will remember the Konoha White Fang here. Who will also remember the deeds of heroes that have been lost in history? Who will remember the carvings on the Hokage Rock in the distance? The characters who brought victory in classic battles

It seems that it will be forgotten soon

At this time, the people here will only worship, blindly, and flatter when the war is won, and will naturally forget when the war is lost...

Looking up at the gray sky, isn't the scene in Hizashi's memory that the teacher Konoha White Ga left in the original plot, just a fragment of words that only exists in the memories of relatives, the tremors of enemies, and even Kakashi's memories?

He lowered his head and looked at the words "Hatake Sakumo" on the tombstone.

Perhaps, now there are more witnesses of myself as Hyuga Hizashi at this time.

"Thank you for saving me." Hizashi said lazily to the stone.

"Although as a rescued person, my words don't have much effect. But teacher, I still think you are not wrong. If it were me, I would give up the mission without hesitation. If even the people I care about If you can't choose to protect, why should you protect..." The surrounding eyes and the inexplicable telescope skills prevented him from uttering the words behind his mouth.

this village

Looking at the inscription quietly, his indifferent face suddenly cracked. This was the ninja world, and he seemed to think of those who died in battles in the future ninja world, and it seemed that they would one day take revenge on this ninja world.

He spoke softly, in a voice that only two people could hear, but he didn't know whether he was speaking to the world that was already dead or the world that was close to death. The silent fire cemetery is rippled by the cold wind blowing down the spine, and those two words are floating quietly:

"Goodbye."

,,,,,,

,,,,,,

The loss of the country, the resentment of the people, the death of the son, and the future of the child gave the country of fire its advantage in World War II, the death of thousands of people in the territory, and the thousand-handed rope tree with the dream of Hokage, accompanying the "Hatake Saku" written in this book. Mao" died together.
