Naruto Caged Bird

() Chapter 206: White

Neat cemetery, monuments like a forest! Just like the densely packed matt grids written, there are bodies placed...

Gray sky, loneliness. Hyuga Hidesashi, who was alone, placed one of the flowers in front of the tombstone in front of him. Only the bunch of white in my hand is left...

 …

History has its powerful inertia. The stars that suddenly appear in this world for a moment will eventually be encircled by his powerful gravitational pull. Even if it is suddenly dazzling, in the end it is just like the most dazzling comet that orbits once every 76 years. Or, how big a hole was smashed?

In the last part of the Second Ninja World War, the disciples of the third generation of Hokage in the land of the wind that finally went to war—"Konoha's Sannin" Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Senju Tsunade. At the same time, it was the three disaster beasts that shocked the entire ninja world when they appeared on the battlefield of the country of wind.

Huge snakes, giant toads, and huge slugs, they are like monsters advancing towards the desert that is immobile all year round in the Kingdom of Wind, but finally ushered in the one-tailed crane that was forcibly controlled by Sand Ninja in the Kingdom of Wind. At this moment, the wild Izuzuru seemed to be on the side of justice, resisting the monsters in the eyes of the three ninjas like Ultraman fighting monsters.

Perhaps, it was at this time that Gama Bunta successfully met Izuo Shukaku face to face. And the toad dagger that cut off Sha Zi's arm in the future will also have the opportunity to chop on the body of Shuo He again and again...

After several months, the Second Ninja World War did not end as quickly as Hatake Sakumo expected, nor did it return to peace as Jiraiya wrote. It fell into endless consumption and record-setting losses. Let the entire ninja world be shrouded in more intense resentment and hatred, which is as gray as the sky above the appearance at this time!

Looking at this day, Hizashi wondered what would happen if Hatake Sakumo led the team again in the final battle of the Second Ninja World War. But he knew that there would never be such an if again. Those two white-haired men who were equally powerful at the same time in the history of Hokage, the return of one represents the departure of the other. The same ending, just as a hero always has an end...

The history of the ninja world has returned to what he should have been. Konoha Baiya, who most wanted to go to the battlefield to change everything, was shelved in the village as if forgotten. He was left behind! I stayed and endured the backs, gazes, complaints, and crying in the village that became more and more intense due to the loss of the war every day...

The protracted war has brought unimaginable pain to the people of the Fire Country, and new deaths are spreading in the Fire Country and Konoha Village every moment. As for the lost war advantages and everything lost by Konoha Village in the Country of Fire, a heavyweight figure is needed to atone for the sins. It needs a place to vent.

And under the guidance of some kind of public opinion, Konoha Baiya, 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 vortex has to endure the disgusting eyes of others even if he walks and eats. That is a shadow that is more chilling than white eyes, and as long as he is in the village for a day, the power of public opinion will continue, grow, and breed...

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

Youyou's mouth can kill people! Public opinion can't penetrate Konoha Baiya's iron body, but his heart loves this village, his disciples, and even more his son who could have grown up normally in the sun.

They hurt the people he cares about!

In the spring of Konoha's 36th year, after spending the last New Year with his son Kakashi, my teacher Sakumo Hatake resolutely embarked on the historical path of no return. He chose to take away all the pain and the hatred that enveloped him.

 …

Put the second bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, white. The first bundle has already been given to another Thousand Hand Rope Tree just now!

Hizasa quietly stared at the tombstone in front of him, and when he saw "Sakumo Hatake" engraved on the inscription again, he still couldn't accept the ending of the plot that belonged to him. Even before that, he tried countless times to talk to his teacher Sakumo Hatake. It's just like the principle of "If you don't worry about your family, how can you keep the world safe", but as a saved disciple, he couldn't say: "Teacher, if it were me, I would do the same", it would only appear to be rubbing salt on the wound .

In the end, the result of waiting was that the news of "redemption" came out from the message in the market in the early morning of a certain day.

Is that redemption?

At that moment, the day difference asked himself, shouldn't all the strong have a strong heart, shouldn't they all be free from the influence of those rumors and influences?

And the real reason is because of someone's blame? Is it because of a failure in his ninja career? Or was it because the people he cared about were hurt, and his son Kakashi was constantly influenced by public opinion?

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

But the strong one finally obeyed his will!

With the discomfort in his heart, Hizaki solidified the stele in front of him—

The marble tablet in front of me is square and straight, it does not have the rounded arc due to polishing, and it is not made of expensive materials. He stood just like that in this cemetery, neither low nor wide, and there were not too many inscription descriptions.

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

Who left it?

The belated day difference gently gathered the blown bouquet together, maybe it was put by Mikoto who came early, maybe it was put by Reiko Hatake who came here often, maybe it was Kakashi who always wanted to pry open the inscription let it go. Now, finally, no one will talk behind Kakashi's back anymore, because all the sins disappeared after the "Atonement" of the person in front of him. It seems that there is no need to babble anymore...

"...it's because of his father..."

Where the people who miss you is where you belong! At this moment, Kakashi should want to hear those words again in his heart, how much he wants someone to continue to complain about his father. Continue to find another reason to beat those guys up?

The plot is neatly corrected like a rigid, black and cold text. It turned so suddenly, but it had already been in Ri Zhai's memory. He looked at the scattered tombstones—

Many years later, looking back on the past.

Apart from the dusty record in the file, who else would remember Konoha Baiya here? Who else will remember the deeds of the heroes who have disappeared in history here? Except for the few carved on the Huoying Rock in the distance, who would remember the characters who brought victory in those classic battles?

It seems that soon forgotten!

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

Looking up at the gray sky, the picture left by the teacher Konoha Baiga in the original plot in the memory of the day is not just a fragment of the words that are only in the memory of relatives, in the trembling of the enemy, and even in Kakashi's memory ?

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

Perhaps, now there are more witnesses of my daily difference at this time!

"Thank you for saving me." Facing the stone, Rizai said lazily.

"Although as a rescued person, the departure of my words does not have much effect. But teacher, I still think you are not wrong. If it were me, I would definitely give up the mission without hesitation. If even the people I care about Can't choose to guard, what else to guard..." The eyes around him and the inexplicable telescopic technique made him dare not say the following words—

this village!

Quietly looking at the inscription ~www.NovelMTL.com~ but the indifferent face suddenly cracked. This is the ninja world, and he seems to think of the future battle in the ninja world—the dead, it seems that one day they will take revenge on this ninja world.

He said softly, with a voice that only two people could hear, but he didn't know whether he was speaking to the dead world or the dying world. In the silent cemetery of fire, the cold wind blew slowly, and quietly floated those two words:

"goodbye."

,,,,,,

,,,,,,

The loss of the country, the resentment of the people, the death of the first child, the future of the child! Let the Land of Fire's advantages in World War II, the death of thousands of people in the territory, and Senju Nawaki, who harbored the dream of Hokage, die together with "Sakumo Hatake" in his works.

That's the end of the second volume!
