[Hokage] Flower Time

Gorinan mentally prepared a complex speech.

"We have learned in the ninja school. As a ninja, we have to face the pain of life and the choice of fate. The death of companions and relatives is inevitable..."

"The so-called ninja is a person who endures everything in the dark and achieves the great cause, so the temporary pain cannot destroy your will, you have to get out of it as soon as possible. I know this is cruel to you, but fate does not leave only A person who hesitates. If you have been depressed, your brother must have..."

Complicated speeches have no chance of being exported.

Every time Guolinan started, the rest of the words would be interrupted by the time spent.Either in the shade of a tree, or leaning against the walls of the three offices, or walking on the street at sunset, every time she interrupted Gorinan's words in an indifferent tone.

"That kind of thing shouldn't be said to me."

It was as if her brother hadn't committed suicide by drowning himself as the rumors said.

She performed tasks with the team members as usual, and she has already started to perform B-level tasks, and she tried her best to do her best, so as not to ruin the reputation of the Uchiha clan.After becoming a Chunin, the outstanding performance made the third generation Lord gradually start to pay attention to this child.

However, when the assistant next to Hokage reminded Hirazan that Hanatoki is Shisui's relative, Hirazan could only withdraw his idea of ​​trying to recruit her.Hokage, who had contributed most of his life to Konoha, took a puff of cigarette silently, and could only sigh in the end.

You can hear others complimenting her when you spend time.

"That is the flower time of the Uchiha clan."

"I became a Chunin at the age of 11, which is pretty good. Although it can't be compared with the war years..."

"Is she the younger sister of 'Stopping Water'?"

"Shh."

It was like an untouchable secret. When the genius who suddenly drowned himself was mentioned, everyone stopped talking and turned into a sigh of embarrassment.

Zhishui has been missing for a long time, and Anbu's investigation has not yielded results.According to Shisui's suicide note, the patriarch Fugaku finally ruled his death.Because he was not sacrificed in a mission, Shisui is not even eligible to be buried in the hero cemetery, so he can only erect a symbolic tomb in the cemetery of the Uchiha clan.

On the day of Shisui's funeral, many people who felt sorry for this young genius came to attend, including Itachi, who also attended the funeral amidst people's malicious eyes and low whispers.Only Shisui's immediate family member, Uchiha Hanatoki, never showed up.

She was still unwilling to admit that Zhishui died.

Even if he died, Shisui should have died fighting for the village and family as a hero.Shisui's last name should be engraved on the heroic monument, like Kakashi's teammate Obito, or the fourth generation, so that future generations can mourn and worship again and again, instead of sinking quietly in the vortex behind the curtain Among them, Lia Wuming quietly ended.

This summer seems to be extraordinarily long. Even though it has come to the end of summer, the weather has remained unbearably hot.Walk in the shade along the wall to escape the sun's rays when you spend your time.From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the river beside her - there was a short figure standing under the sun without any hindrance despite the scorching heat of summer.

She narrowed her eyes and recognized that the boy in black short sleeves was Sasuke who had just entered school this year.

He made mudras with both hands, and then spit out a small fireball toward the river.The fire was weak and disappeared after a short time.

Hua Shi watched him practice Hao Fireball over and over again, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first learned Fire Escape Ninjutsu.She learned it several times from Itachi before she mastered this technique, and then she couldn't wait to show Shisui the ninja technique, almost scorching the crow's tail.

Zhishui asked her to open her mouth to check whether her throat was burned, so she obediently opened her mouth to let him check.

For some reason, her footsteps moved in the direction of Sasuke involuntarily.

"Hey, Sasuke, are you practicing the fireball technique?" She put her hand on her forehead to block the sun.

Sasuke frowned when he heard her shout.He seemed displeased that someone discovered that he was secretly practicing while hiding by the river, so he had a strange look on his face.

Huashi looked at the burn marks on his cheeks, frowned, and preached in Shishui's original tone: "If you don't use Huo Dun's Ninjutsu properly, it will burn your mouth. You look like this...you will burn your hair in a while. "

Sasuke turned his head away, his small brows furrowed even deeper.

"Look, it looks like me." Huashi formed a seal and blew a huge fireball towards the water: "Fire Escape · Hao Fireball Art!"

The blazing fire illuminated the faces of the two people, and the wind formed by the surging air made Sasuke's hair dance wildly.He stared at the huge fireball, his expression lightened up quietly.

"Do you need me to teach you?" Hua Shi asked.

Sasuke is a very gifted kid, just like his older brother.

In time, he will probably become an existence like Uchiha Itachi.

Just like how others evaluated her at the beginning - one day, she will become as excellent as her brother.She still remembers the day when she first entered the school, Jingmei teacher had expected her to be as good a ninja as Shisui.

Now she should be able to barely see the shadow of this expectation.

However, when Hanato said to Sasuke, "I hope you become an excellent ninja like Itachi", the other party turned his head awkwardly and frowned again, as if hearing something disgusting .

Huashi was a little surprised by his reaction. After all, Sasuke used to like his brother the most. Every time he mentioned Itachi, Sasuke would only be proud of his name.Such a reaction is really rare nowadays.

The two walked towards the gate of the clan along the path under the shade of the trees.The warm light in the evening fell from the sky, and a few dark clouds gathered quietly.As he walked, Sasuke, who kept his head down, suddenly said in a low voice: "I heard from my brother that Huashi's brother is gone....Huashi must be very sad, right? I can give you my brother."

Sasuke's innocent words without taboo made Hanaji laugh.

The two brothers were really different.

What was Itachi thinking when he was seven years old?It's about those families and villages, just like her brother.And Sasuke obviously doesn't have the terrifyingly precocious thinking like Itachi's, and now he probably can't understand some obscure things that can't be mentioned.

"No need." Huashi put his hands behind his back, looked up at the evening sky, and said, "My brother just went out to perform a long-term mission that cannot be told to others. One day, he will come back Yes. Before that, I don't need you to give me your brother, nor do I need someone else to take care of you. And... Shisui and Itachi, they are different."

"Really, is there nothing wrong?" When Sasuke looked up at Hana, he asked in a still immature voice: "I always feel that everyone is weird these days, so is Dad, so is Brother, and so is Flower Time.... Brother's Eye……"

Unfinished words full of childish worries were interrupted by calls from ahead.

"Sasuke."

Someone raised the curtain of the gate of the clan to reveal his figure.The young Itachi was wearing black short sleeves and bottoms, with white bandages around his calves and wrists.He smiled at Sasuke, and Sasuke ran towards him happily.

Looking at Sasuke's actions, Huashi felt that she was simply being superstitious just now.

Itachi stretched out his two fingers, and pointed toward Sasuke, who was rushing towards him, precisely on his forehead.Sasuke took a few steps back from the sudden poke, and finally stayed by Itachi's side obediently.

"Flower time." Itachi said to her.

"Yeah." She nodded as a response.

He didn't speak, but just looked at her for a long time, as if he wanted to see her heart hidden under the ordinary expression, or wanted to remember her appearance so that he could recall and outline it in the long time .

"What's the matter, you keep looking at me?" Huashi touched his cheek in doubt, then smiled, and said, "If it's words of comfort, then forget it. I don't need it."

"No." Itachi said, "It's just that I want to see you one more time."

"What's the matter?" Hua Shi continued to smile and said, "Suddenly say such strange things. If you want to watch, there are still many opportunities. When your brother comes back...you can watch as long as you want. "

After finishing speaking, she brushed past the two brothers, lifted the curtain of the clan area with one hand, and stepped inward.Her body brushed against Itachi's shoulder without any regrets, leaving only a farewell saying: "I'll go first, goodbye."

Itachi turned his body sideways and looked at her fading footsteps from under the curtain, just like the look he took Sasuke at the corner of the street every summer in the past, waiting for her to come back from school and pass by in a hurry .

Neither early nor late, neither fast nor slow.

"Brother, don't you want to chase?" Sasuke asked while looking at Hua Shiyuan's back.

"Forget it... next time." Itachi raised his head, looked at the evening sky of Muye Village, with a smile on his lips, his eyes were as dark as the deep sea: "Next time."

As far as the eye can see is the sky of Konoha Village.The last heat of summer is still far away, and the dark clouds are heavy and heavy in the sky, brewing a storm that will sweep over at any time, it seems that a final carnival will be held at the end of this summer.The slightly cold wind suddenly rolled up the falling leaves, brushed the ground and branches up and down, and finally drifted to an unknown place.
