[Hokage] Brand

Three months later.

The ethnology has been well established and has been in operation for more than a month. The effect is very good, and the little voice of opposition in the clan has completely disappeared.The disabled clansmen who retreated from the battlefield have new missions and goals, and their previous depression and resentment have become sunny and positive. Eyes, and more importantly, no matter how gloomy a person is, he will become gentle when facing so many lively and innocent children every day.

The number of fights caused by this group of disabled people in the Uchiha clan has decreased sharply every year. At the same time, when going to and from school every day, a large group of little guys fighting and running around in the clan field also brought a lot of trouble to the clan. joy.For the first time, the atmosphere in the Uchiha clan became so relaxed.

At this time, many people would stop to watch the group of energetic children happily running over in a swarm. The psychological impact of such a scene on these ninjas who lick their blood every day is indescribable. The eyes and smiling faces of those children are the hope for the future when they see what they have put their lives to protect for the family.

Madara, Ruihuo and Quanna will take the time to go to the family school to see those little guys. Sometimes performing some ninjutsu or telling a thrilling story on the battlefield will cause them to exclaim. Almost everyone regards them as The goal of life, when Uchiha Yuna, the little girl who gave Madara lunch that day, mustered up the courage to say to the whole class,

"I want to become a beautiful and powerful ninja like Mizuho-sama, and follow Madara-sama all my life!"

The little boy with the hedgehog head sitting in the front row complained, "Let's not talk about being strong, maybe there is a slight possibility after working hard for decades, but she is beautiful..." He looked at the little girl's short figure With a round apple face, he said with a pity and embarrassment, "Maybe it won't work for hundreds of years~" After finishing speaking, everyone started to laugh, and the whole classroom was noisy

"U·Chi·Ha·Yu!!!" Uchiha Yuna's face darkened, and she almost squeezed out every single word from her mouth. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and punched the boy with the hedgehog head in the eyes, causing the latter to scream It flew out with a bang, overturning the students, tables and chairs behind, dust and mist flying in all directions, the teacher standing on the side looked stunned, the breath behind him was slightly bleak, and the whole classroom was deadly silent for a moment——

Madara, who was hiding in the treetops outside the door, silently withdrew his idea of ​​preparing to make a rescue. Seeing Uchiha Yuna's sudden change in painting style, he remembered Mizuho who overthrew his friends one by one on the training ground.

[In a sense, it is still possible to become a "powerful" ninja like Ruihuo...]

On the other side, Ruihuo, who had just completed the task, had no idea that she had been regarded as a goal in life, and now she was blocked in the middle of the Hui nationality.Looking at the black-haired girl standing in front of him, Hashirama smiled bitterly. He waited outside Uchiha for more than a month, and finally waited for Ruihuo. He knew that it would be misleading to suddenly intercept him halfway, but Grandpa Youhua couldn't wait any longer. He didn't wear armor or national uniform today, just a simple gown.

"Ruihuochan, I know it's sudden to say this, but Grandpa Youhua can't hold it anymore, and at the last moment, he wants to see you." Zhujian clenched his fists and lowered his head, although he believed in Qianshou Youhua would never do such a thing as a sneak attack from behind, but at that time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, that was the truth.

The young man recalled Ruihuo's actions and expressions that were so dependent on Uchiha Great Elder at that time. How could she agree to see her enemy for the last time after losing her close relative? Hashirama raised her head, her eyes were full of sincerity, even pleading It means, "The place to meet is not the place of the Senju clan, it is very close to Uchiha, I will guarantee your safety, there are only three of us, really, just meet up."

"If you're worried, you can put a detonation talisman on me, and if you feel something's wrong, just detonate it..."

"can."

The rage and rejection he imagined didn't happen. Hashirama even prepared the detonating talisman, but when he suddenly heard the word "Yes", his tense muscles instantly relaxed. He stared blankly at Ruihuo. The girl walked towards him step by step, her hands were empty, and the Sharingan was not opened, she looked defenseless.

Those clear black pupils filled with complete trust made Hashirama's heart tremble slightly, and the throbbing that he had smothered with all his heart began to sprout again. He forced himself to look away, and silently reminded himself in his heart, [That is Madara's fiancée, you bastard], Ruihuo walked up to him, gave him a strange look, "Aren't you going?"

"Oh...oh!" Hashirama took a step back in a panic, "Here, I'll take you there." After speaking, he stepped hard and flew to the south, Ruihuo didn't care about the boy's brief moment Panicked, it seemed to her that Senshou Zhujian's mind was not normal all the time, she tapped her toes, and immediately flew up to follow.The two shuttled through the woods silently. During the journey, Hashirama, who had always been talkative, was abnormally silent, and Ruihuo was not a talkative person, so he was silent all the way.

The facts were just as what Hashirama said, but they arrived at the place in just 10 minutes. It was an old wooden house with a lot of moss growing on the outside. The space is very small, just a bed, a table, and a few small benches.Rui Huo walked to the bed and saw clearly what the old man on the bed looked like now.

I haven't seen you in just a few months, Qianshou Youhua is almost ten years old, her hair is all white, her aura is so weak that it seems to disappear in the next moment, such a weak aura Ruihuo frowned slightly, 【This person, Begging to die. 】

The cut of the hand that was severed by her was still wrapped in gauze, black blood oozing slightly.It stands to reason that with Senju Yuhua's physical fitness and Hashirama's medical ninjutsu, it will take at most one month to fully recover.But now the old man is already on the verge of death. In such a situation, there is no other solution except that his heart is ashamed and he has given up on himself.

"Grandpa Youhua, Ruihuojiang is here." Zhu Jian squatted beside the bed and called him softly.

"Hmm..." The old man opened his eyes, was in a trance for a few seconds, and slowly focused on Rui Huo's face. The girl's clothes were neat and her expression was calm. It was true that she came here voluntarily.Qianshou Youhua smiled weakly, "I didn't expect you... would be willing to come here."

"I wanted to kill you at first." Ruihuo's tone was very flat, his eyes swept over Hashirama, who was tensed up, "It's a pity that you escaped at that time, but you are indeed very powerful." At that time, he was immersed in despair The Qianshou Youhua in the movie was completely unaware of Ruihuo who was attacking from behind at all, and was able to dodge entirely by intuition and fighting instinct, which is very remarkable in this regard.

"No, I will regret it after avoiding it." He sat up with difficulty under the support of Hashirama, coughed twice, and there was indelible sadness in his dim brown eyes, as if tears would flow out in the next moment, " I made an irreparable mistake, and it is my greatest wish to die at your hands in the end."

"The last time I rashly broke into Uchiha's clan, I was impulsive. I just wanted to take another look at him. But I didn't expect Hana to follow me in, and in the end she made her want to protect me. The damned person lost his life... My sins have increased, and now only death can free me, so let me go to another world to atone for the sins of the two of them."

Rui Huo stared at him for a while before saying, "I'm not here today to kill you." Noticing that the eyes of the two Qianshou in the room instantly focused on her, the girl looked at Qianshou Youhua seriously. Eyes, "Best friend, what is it to you, why do you feel so guilty for the death of your enemy, and even choose to end your own life?"

As if she didn't expect her to ask such a question, Senju Yuka was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled softly, "My dear friend, that is the most important existence to me, Uchiha and Senju are enemies right , but Fuya and Youhua are very close friends. They have always been each other's goals, they are each other's pillars and the objects that can be given their lives."

Seeing the girl's blank eyes, Qianshou Youhua waved at her to signal her to come closer, Ruihuo was a little puzzled but still walked over, seeing the old man's approaching hand, she hesitated for a while but still didn't hide Open, the wrinkled palm fell on Ruihuo's soft head, as if a certain place in the heart was poked, the girl stood there in a daze, looking at the corner of the old man's bent eyes, such a look, such a feeling , the Qianshou Youhua in front of him suddenly overlapped with the Great Elder back then.

"Man, it is impossible to live alone in this world alone. Because the human race is too fragile, both physically and mentally. So we need friends who understand each other, support each other, and love each other. Best friends It is the most precious existence among friends,

You can fully understand each other's thoughts with just one look. Even if you quarrel with each other until swords meet, you can look at each other with a smile in the next second, and embrace each other defenselessly with open arms.When you're sad, he can drink and fool around with you until dawn. When you're happy, he says with distaste, "There's no reason to be happy about such a trivial thing." But ah, he can't hide the smile in his eyes. "

Qianshou Youhua raised his head slightly, as if he was recalling something again, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, his brows stretched, and finally he looked into Ruihuo's eyes, held her hand, brown eyes There are bits and pieces of broken light shining in the eyes, it is amazingly bright

"In the final analysis, we are all cowards who are afraid of loneliness. Walking in the darkness where we can't see the way forward, if we can meet a close friend who can move forward hand in hand...it must be,"

"Sansheng is lucky!"

Ruihuo was shocked by such Senshou Yuhua, with such tacit understanding and unreserved trust, she suddenly understood why Uchiha Sa, who was clearly on the verge of death at that time, was so determined, and even had a smile on the corner of her eyes meaning.The girl suddenly held Qianshou Youhua's palm with her backhand, looked at the old man in front of her with her clear eyes, and softened her tone

"He said to me at the end:

'Don't blame Yuhua'

'That idiot, can't do such a thing...'"

Hearing this, Qianshou Youhua's lips began to tremble, and a layer of water flashed in his eyes. He held Ruihuo's hand tightly and looked at her excitedly and expectantly, as if grasping the last straw, After choking for a long time, I finally squeezed out two words from my throat,

"real?"

"Yes."

In the end, he got an affirmative answer. The old man who has been blaming himself and becoming a walking dead has finally been redeemed at this moment. He hugged the girl in his arms and couldn't help it anymore at this moment. Tears streamed down his face, hot tears wet Ruihuo's shoulders, this old man with white hair cried sadly and aggrieved like a child holding her

Almost in an instant, I couldn't cry...

Ruihuo slowly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around his back, just like how Uchiha coaxed her to sleep when he was a child, gently patted Senju Youhua's back, all the bones touched by his fingertips under the clothes were already protruding bones, almost A month ago, the old man who was strong and tough, and could even defeat a hundred on the battlefield, now only had a handful of skinny bones left.

"...Did he say that you look ugly when you cry?"

Hearing this sentence, the moved Zhujian suddenly choked up when he heard this sentence, and at the same time, Qianshou Youhua, who was holding Ruihuo and crying, also choked up. He had no way to refute, and he could only give a low and aggrieved "hmm". , the warmth and touch just now disappeared without a trace, Ruihuo let go of his hand, took out a handkerchief from his bosom and pasted it on Qianshou Youhua's face.

The latter finally felt a trace of embarrassment, and hastily wiped away the snot and tears on his face.He paused suddenly, the smile at the corner of his mouth froze, and he let out a muffled groan, Senshou Zhuma hurried forward to lift his quilt, and sure enough, the wound on his chest was split open, and the blood was stained red.It is already a miracle that the injury he received last time in the Uchiha tribe lasted till now. Senju Yuka pressed Hashirama's hand that was about to heal him, and collapsed on the bed,

"No need, I'm supposed to be a dying person. It's a very... happy thing to be able to hear this at the last..." Qianshou Youhua suddenly grabbed Holding Rui Huo's hand, she almost exhausted all her strength, the girl looked at such an old man, and gave up telling him about the murderer's existence.

"Can...can't..." He opened his eyes wide, staring closely at Ruihuo's face, "Can...can my ashes... Quietly... buried in his... grave?"

"it is good."

After receiving such an answer, Qianshou Youhua seemed to have fulfilled her last wish, she bent her eyes, her brown eyes were filled with the love of the elders for the younger, and finally closed her eyes bit by bit

"Ruihuo sauce, absolutely...you must...live happily."

"Ah."

The author has something to say:

I really can't think of what color Ruihuo's Susanoo is...Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple? ?

The Great Elder obtained the kaleidoscope only after losing his daughter, and he was also cold and terrifying on the battlefield, and the blue color didn't seem so strange.

However, that classmate who is so pink, are you serious? It's Susano, not Fatty~

I finished coding and went to catch up with my homework. Tonight, I want to see paw prints~
