[Comprehensive] living to death

The tombstones made of granite are quietly arranged on the green grass, showing a deep and solemn atmosphere; the names of the ninjas who died in the war are engraved on the memorial tablet in the middle.Many of them were known by Mingyue.

When she came, she held a large bunch of white lilies in her hand, and when she put them side by side, there were only two flowers left in her hand, but there were a few more dew-stained flowers in front of many tombstones. Swaying lonely in the wind.

Mingyue squatted in front of the tombstone, looked at the two extra lilies in her hand, thought for a while, and simply inserted one in front of the left and right tombstones.

"You seem to know a lot of people."

The person behind her said lightly.

"Konoha is a society of acquaintances." Mingyue didn't look back, and looked at the tombstone in front of her with her chin, "But I don't know the people on the left and right."

"...?"

"But since they are Obito's neighbors, of course we have to express it when we worship, so that they can take care of Obito on the other side of Netherland." She shook her head and sighed, speaking earnestly, "Kakashi, you are so good at it." Now that you're a man, it's no wonder that Obito likes you very much, but always blows up at you."

The words "Uchiha Obito" are engraved on the tombstone in front of him, but both Mingyue and Kakashi know that the tomb is empty and nothing is left; the boy who likes to wear orange goggles has been sleeping forever Kannabi Bridge is underground.

Kakashi said nothing.He doesn't seem to like to talk much, but this silence is not numb or dull; anyone who sees his eyes will know that this young man has his own thinking, even confusion and pain.

First, he was rescued by a companion who sacrificed his life, and then witnessed the death of another companion—and I heard that the scene was quite miserable. Such an encounter must have dealt a great blow to a boy under the age of 14.What's more, Mingyue guessed that Obito probably entrusted Lin to Kakashi before his death, saying "I will leave Lin to you from now on"?

To be honest, Mingyue was somewhat disapproving of this.Even though women are destined to be weaker physically, can they only be the object of protection and their responsibility?Although she doesn't have much contact with Lin, judging from Obito's description, she is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she may not be happy to be entrusted to someone like a burden.If possible, Lynn would probably prefer to make her own choice, right?

However, now that Obito and Rin have passed away one after another, these things have lost the need to be said.

"Then next time I come to see you, I will remember to bring red bean cakes. Goodbye, Obito." Mingyue stood up and turned to Kakashi, "Hey Kakashi, do you want to go back?"

The boy in the mask shook his head, "I'll stay for a while."

"Yeah." Mingyue walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, raised her head to check the height difference between Kakashi and herself, and waved to him, motioning him to bend down.

The expression of the white-haired boy was always hidden under the mask, so he couldn't see clearly, but this did not prevent a trace of doubt from flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi squatted down, looking at Mingyue in front of him.

"You don't have to worry about writing sharing eyes." Mingyue said, "Although some people in the clan object, but my father said that he will respect Obito's will, so there is no problem."

In fact, Fuyue has always taken good care of Obito, and told Mingyue several times that Obito has great potential, and he might have great potential in the future.

"You... Dad?" Kakashi's eyes were a little strange.

"what happened?"

"No... nothing."

It's just that Kakashi thought Mingyue would use an ancient and solemn address like "Father", but he didn't expect it to be quite casual.

Although Obito is a sunny and idiot guy, the Uchiha family has always been the spokesperson of "elite" and "mysterious" in Konoha. Ordinary people may not have much feeling, but ninjas with foreign surnames can strongly feel that family's How exclusive is it.

But having said that, the Hyuga Clan does not seem to give way when it comes to exclusivity.Perhaps this is the reason why the big family has been able to pass on for nearly a thousand years.

"Kakashi?"

"Well, I see." The boy recovered, nodded and said, "Thank you."

"That's it. Goodbye, Kakashi."

"Goodbye."

******

On the way back, Mingyue deliberately took a detour to the fruit shop.Among the dazzling array of snacks, she picked a beautiful flower shape, and chose a piggy shape with a wicked sense of humor.The translucent pale pink skin is covered with red bean paste. It is such a pink and tender little pig looking at her with innocent black bean eyes.

In addition, she bought a small slice of strawberry cream cake.

Carrying two boxes of snacks, Mingyue greeted people all the way, and bounced back home.With her strength, even if she jumped up and down like this, the dim sum in her hand could still remain in its original shape.

"I'm back." Mingyue opened the door and kicked off her shoes, "Mom, mom!"

"Welcome back." Meiqin walked out of the room, her gentle smiling face became a little more helpless the moment she saw Mingyue, "Mingyue, how many times have I told you to put your shoes away when you come back."

"Yes, yes." Mingyue agreed, and handed the cake in her hand to Meiqin like a treasure, "Mom, I bought you a strawberry cake. Am I so cute?"

Meiqin burst out laughing "puchi", "How can you praise yourself so much."

Having said that, she happily took the cake.Like Itachi, Mikoto likes sweets, especially all kinds of cakes, and little flowers will bloom in her eyes when she eats them.

"Mom, where's Itachi?"

"The child is in his room. He just finished his physical training, went to take a shower, ate something and went to read again. Although he is proud of working so hard before going to school, it is also worrying." As soon as the eldest son was mentioned, Miqin couldn't help but start chattering, with a look of pride and worry at the same time, "Itachi is still so young, why don't you wear yourself out?"

"Okay, no problem, I'll go and have a look!" Mingyue patted her chest and promised, "Drag the weasel out for fun!"

"...No, Mom didn't mean that..."

But Mingyue had already rushed over excitedly, leaving Miqin with a drop of cold sweat behind, showing a helpless but happy smile on the spot.

"Little weasel!"

The home is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, and she made a series of brisk sounds on the wood-grained floor.Mingyue likes this sound, it represents leisurely, stable and peaceful.

Whoa!

She pushed the paper door open, and there was a loud protest when it hit the door frame.

The younger brother sitting at the desk was looking at her with big dark eyes.His expression seemed serious and calm, but he was actually very helpless.

"Sister, welcome back." Itachi stood up from the desk, sighed slightly, and looked at the sliding door of his room, "Sister can open the door lightly."

Although he is only in his early four years and his voice is still immature, Itachi's expression and way of speaking are surprisingly mature.

"Oh, what's the matter? If it's broken, I'll fix it!" Mingyue walked over with a smile, and put the wagashi in her hand on the desk, "Hey, this is a snack for Weasel!"

Just then, Mikoto brought two cups of tea.The clear green tea soup is gently shaken in the teacup made of bisque, which looks extraordinarily refreshing.

"Mom, would you like to have morning tea together?" Mingyue warmly invited, "This is a kind of parent-child activity!"

I don't know which point she said made Miqin laugh, making her beautiful mother cover her mouth and laugh non-stop.However, Miqin still refused, and said with some regret that because she was going out in the afternoon, she needed to finish things first.

"That's why housewives are also very hard. If you have the energy, you should help your mother with more housework." Mingyue took out the snacks and complained about her father, "You can't count on a busy person like my father."

Under the gaze of her younger brother, she happily pushed the piggy-shaped fruit in front of her younger brother, and said courteously, "Eat it, you're welcome!"

Itachi: "..."

He looked at his sister who was smiling all over his face, and then looked down at the pink and tender piggy fruit, always feeling weird in his heart.Logically speaking, it was just a snack, but itachi felt inexplicably awkward being watched by his sister.

The younger brother who doesn't say a word, just blinks, looks really super cute.

"Listen up, Weasel, this is actually a confection with a story!" Mingyue continued to say with a smile, "When I went to the wagashi shop just now, I wanted to buy two flower-shaped confectionery, but the boss said, 'Oh! Long time no see Mingyue, come here, auntie here has a very cute fruit, which looks very similar to Mingyue’s younger brother, you’re welcome to come and give it to Mingyue’s younger brother, I saw that it was exactly the same, so I accepted the boss’s offer Kindness!"

Itachi: "..."

He opened his eyes slightly, and looked seriously at the dim sum in front of him. His big black eyes and small bean eyes looked at each other, and then he puffed up his cheeks.

"Sister, you're lying to me again." He looked at Mingyue and said, "The same goes for the dolls from before, why did you gather all seven summoning dragons..."

He suddenly stopped talking, as if he realized that he was acting like a baby just now, he showed a little embarrassment for a moment, and took a small sip from the teacup to cover up.

But Mingyue saw it at a glance.As soon as Itachi put down the teacup in his hand, she reached out and rubbed her brother's head.

"Sister!" Itachi protested.

"Hey, are you shy?" Mingyue leaned over to observe her younger brother's expression.

"No." Itachi subconsciously denied it, and said firmly, "Sister, let's have some snacks!"

"Hahaha……"

Mingyue nodded while smiling, and decided not to tease her younger brother for the time being.

In the clean room, the little girl who is the eldest sister sits cross-legged casually, holding the snacks in her hands and slowly gnaws, while the little brother who is the younger brother maintains an upright sitting and eats with tableware in a proper manner. dessert.

Mingyue ate the fruit in two or three bites, then picked up the teacup, raised her head boldly and drank it down, and finally wiped the corners of her mouth with a paper towel.She raised her eyes and saw her younger brother on the opposite side looking at her silently, so she waved her hand and said, "At least I'm at home, so I don't intend to use sleeves instead of tissues."

"...I didn't say anything, sister."

Despite denying this, Itachi looked away.Mingyue will be like this when she knows that the child is embarrassed.

"Well, don't talk about me, it's the little weasel!" She began to tease her younger brother habitually after eating and drinking, and said with a smile, "I originally expected that when facing such a cute little pig, the little weasel would say , 'Ah, such a cute pig, the weasel can't bear to eat the pig, what should I do, sister', but the little weasel ate it without hesitation, which really disappointed my sister and me—I always feel that I have lost the opportunity to comfort my younger brother."

Hearing the word "pig", Itachi shuddered all over, and looked at his sister with an incredulous look.

"Who would say such a thing, sister!" He finally couldn't help complaining, and pouted like an ordinary child—although he immediately regained his composure, "No matter how cute, dim sum is dim sum, an inanimate object Isn't it, there is no need to feel 'unbearable' because of the cute appearance."

"Well, yes, that's right, that's it!" Mingyue put away her smile and nodded her head pretending to be serious, "My brother is so right! I agree very much!"

Itachi: "..."

He ate the last bit of fruit sullenly, drank the tea slowly, and finally said politely, "I'm done."

While he was eating, Mingyue looked around and noticed Itachi's desk had the book he had just read.The title of the book is "The Origin of the Ninja", even in the ninja school, it is also an extracurricular expansion material.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and the lazy smile on her face disappeared for a moment.

"elder sister……"

Itachi opened his mouth to ask something.

But his sister interrupted him.

Mingyue stood up and stretched greatly.

"Ah, anyway, I'm fine today." She said, "It's rare that I have time, do you want to go practice with my sister, Itachi? I can teach you new ninjutsu!"
