New Naruto Sakura no Flower Fan Travel Notes

--------

He...was he dreaming?

----

"Wai... Lord Ebizo, as you said, all my mistakes are my grave sins alone! For this... I kowtow to you and express my heart." The sad and beautiful expression of the red-haired woman was heartbreaking. Compassionate, heartrending, haunting.

……

----

"No, no, no...it's not your fault..." The Shayin Ninja Village, which has been surrounded by this vast desert since ancient times, suffered some unbearable problems in one of the most unusual late nights today. The dark history of the 70-year-old old man had a long-lost nightmare.I saw him lying on the bed, who had already bald and looked haggard, whispering in pain, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The bleak and faint moonlight is peeping into this huge and lonely quaint mansion quietly through the round window. With the passage of time and the light rendering of this indifferent color, the elderly man can't know why. His old and distorted face gradually became more sad, mournful, and bitter due to some reasons...

----

"Lord Ebizo, the fourth generation of Kazekage... that bastard Sataki Rasa has to go his own way this time! Even though I was originally deceived by him to 'lead the wolf into the house', the crime I committed together with him has forced the two of them to It's me...it's me, Monsa Yashamaru, I'm sorry for your old age!" The handsome man with brown hair knelt down in pain just like the red-haired woman back then, intending to beg for his forgiveness.

"Yashamaru, get up quickly, this is none of your business..." But the calm old man just calmly helped the surprised young man up, and he said slowly: "That's fine, she will You can be relieved..." After speaking, he turned and left gently, but his thin back was extremely desolate, vicissitudes, and despair.

……

----

"I'm sorry!!!" It was already four o'clock in the morning, and the old man who woke up suddenly sat up straight, only to see that he was covered in cold sweat, with a mournful expression, and his emaciated face was covered with tears of sorrow.

After 23 years, he finally - dreamed of her!But why is it "that kind of" cruel scene that even he himself can't bear to recall?Or... Even if he was lucky enough to dream of her again, did she still refuse to forgive him, who was already disheartened?

Maybe?At that time, almost everyone, even himself... wanted to ruthlessly deprive her of her tiny hope of living again and again.Last time it was Luo Sha, but there used to be... and he was a bad old man.

"Crimson Sakura..." The old man sighed softly and took out a clear blue cherry blossom necklace from his bosom. He stared at it with tears in his eyes for a long time, and then gently touched it with his dry fingers. And said quietly: "No, the person I, Zuo Hai Laozang, is sorry for in this life...and you."

He suddenly stopped talking, then lowered his head trembling and sobbing softly...

--------

The next day.

"Master Hai Laozang, Maude's visit this time really disturbs you." The younger brother of the current daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind, Yihe Hanmo, and the second head of the Yihe family - Yihe Mude, is extremely dark and thin , The middle-aged man with his right eye covered by a black blindfold said to the old man with a slightly tired expression: "Look... what does Sha Yin look like now?"

"Invincible in wind and sand..." The old man in front of him said directly as if he was reciting. He seemed to be sitting leisurely on a small bench next to a small pond, and was about to fish with a bamboo and wooden fishing rod that looked a little old. .The old man's tone was flat, without the slightest arrogance and high-spiritedness when he said these words when he was young.

"I said—you are really old!" The man named "Mude" smiled and said, "Oh, what year is this?! Even Sataki Gaara's 'little monster' who You've grown up, don't you take the trouble to always use the old-fashioned words of the first Daime Kazekage to describe our sand hidden?"

"Mude, I'm already in my 70s, and I'm going to see sister Chiyo in a few years, right?" The old man just smiled lightly and said, "You don't understand, we old people generally I have a 'nostalgia complex', and I prefer the so-called 'old-fashioned' things. When I have nothing to do, I love fishing, pretending to be dead, and eating vegetables and salads to live up to my old age. I can see it again when I get a chance..." The old man suddenly He stopped talking, because he knew that in this life, he would no longer be able to see the little face of her own grandson like Chiyo sister before she died.

That's right, she has already withered inevitably in a corner of the world due to Luo Sha's attack, right?Is that why that child Xie hates Sha Yin so much?

……

The old man suddenly recalled Chiyo's elder sister who had decided to come back three years ago. He remembered that she had said this to his younger brother before they went to the country of Kawa with Konoha's children: "If the world still has There is something worth nostalgic about, that is, I still want to see that little face of my grandson again..."

This is the last wish of Sister Chiyo. With this poor wish that was fulfilled but ended in incompleteness, she resolutely ended her 73-year-old life in the country of Chuan, but dedicated it to the family who had a "deep love" for their family. The Fifth Generation Kazekage of "Origin" - Sand Falls Gaara.

……

At this moment, the old man was a little hopeful that the uninvited guest in front of him could say something deeply like Maki who came to persuade them to leave the mountain and save Kankuro's life three years ago: "Two, about the robbery of the fifth generation of Kazekage. , seems to be related to Chiyo-sama's grandson - 'Scorpion of Red Sand'."

Oh, it turned out to be a scorpion.

……

A chill flashed in the old man's cloudy blue eyes, which was like the extreme fear of his most cherished treasure being taken away by others.But his two treasures... were stolen one after another.

But Scorpion actually... hijacked Gaara? !Not only did he kidnap Luo Sha and Jia Lu Luo's youngest son, but he almost killed their eldest son?That kid didn't do this just to snatch Shouhe, right?Is he also out for revenge?

Alas, what a sin, the old man shook his head regretfully.But at that time, or for a moment, he hoped that Maji would say another name—Sarada.

No, or... it's "Sarana".However, that child is different from the paranoid scorpion!She has been very sensible and obedient since she was a child, she will not hurt anyone, she will not...

Sarada?

No, it was originally "Sarana", and that was the name Fei Ying personally chose.The old man couldn't help but recall how the pink-haired woman looked when she was pregnant...

----

"Father, the baby is about to be born. Aunt Qiandai and cousin Xianya said it was a little girl after examination. So you, the grandfather, give her a name." Across the dark prison, the mischievous In the gloom, the daughter showed the unique smile of a loving mother, but her soft voice revealed waves of sleepiness and sadness.

The old man... No, the middle-aged man with red hair at this time is called "Monzu Hai Laozang", and the pink-haired woman who is trapped in the prison is his only daughter--Mon Zuo Fei Sakura.

But her daughter's excessive beauty has brought her endless bad luck in her life. She has a beautiful pink hair inherited from her deceased wife, and now she is a little dim in this lifeless prison, but she still has the vitality of life.Except for her pair of azure eyes, which were inherited from his father, everything about her... including her appearance and temperament, is exactly like her late wife. In fact, his wife is a commoner girl from Konoha Ninja Village. .

……

"This... I haven't thought about it yet." Hai Laozang said while passing in the vegetable and salad lunch box he specially brought through the gap in the cage. He blinked slightly and said sadly: "Father is not good at these, besides ...what's the 'meaning' of naming her?"

"Why is there no 'meaning'?" The daughter took the lunch box with some excitement and immediately opened it to take a sip. At this time, her beautiful face was full of simple happiness and happy satisfaction.But she retorted angrily on her delicate little mouth: "My name is 'Hi Ying', and the 'meaning' is because my mother comes from the gorgeous leaves of cherry blossoms, and I was born in the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom."

"Really?" Hai Laozang just sneered, and he fixed his cold gaze hiding some hatred on his daughter's round belly that was about to come out, and he said quietly: "But the expected date of delivery is estimated to be at the end of the year, maybe It's coming December. So tell me, what else can her name mean? Papa doesn't remember any beautiful flowers in a dead winter."

After finishing speaking, Hai Laozang was a little teary, he knew——his only daughter would leave his biological father forever because of this child.

……

"Wow——the vegetable salad made by Aunt Chiyo is still so delicious!" The daughter did not notice that her father's blue eyes were shining with tears. On the contrary, her own blue eyes were shining with joy because of anticipation , and then she said lightly: "Sara, Sarah, Sharana, Zorana..."

"What?" Hai Laozang hurriedly suppressed his emotions and asked.

"Father, it's a bit cliche to name girls after flowers." The daughter chuckled and said, "Your granddaughter should be called 'Zuo Liangna'. What a lovely and warm name, not lacking in creativity, but also inherited from us. Shayin’s local Western Region-style naming style.”

"Zorarna?" Ebino murmured in a daze.He chuckled unconsciously... As expected of the greedy Fei Ying, even naming her own child was related to food.

"Father, Father!" The hopeful daughter tentatively asked Hai Laozang, who was thinking, "Who do you think the child will look like in the future? Is it like me? Or...like her... "In the last sentence, even the daughter felt the anxiety and compassion in her own tone.

"Hmph, of course she is as beautiful as you." Hai Laozang immediately interrupted coldly, and he stood up and turned his back to his daughter who looked astonished and said, "But she...she doesn't deserve this name!" , he clenched his fists resolutely, then pursed his lips and left without looking back...

--------

"Hmph, naturally she is as beautiful as you..."

Thinking back to the present, facing the similar question raised by Ihmud today, Ebinozo said slowly while holding the fishing rod that Chiyo had used with a calm expression.But at this time, his tone was completely no longer the cold and harshness of the past, perhaps due to the baptism of the years, he gradually wore away and removed all his last resort sharpness and helpless disguise.

……

"It's really inexplicable!" Ihmud snapped impatiently, he really didn't understand what nonsense this dying old man was talking about.

"Hmph, I might as well tell you directly—what does Sha Yin look like now?" Maude said in a tone of incomparable hatred. He stroked the cloth on his right eye and said fiercely: " Heh, 'Thanks' to that stupid and arrogant 'short-lived ghost' of Sataki Rasa, Sahikaku is like a running dog begging for mercy at Konoha!" After dropping these words, Maude left immediately Ebizo's mansion.

But when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned his head and said coldly: "Oh, no matter what, Ling Ai's 'shameless behavior' made us Yihe lose face, don't you think you should too?" Do you want to make up for it?" After saying that, he finally walked away satisfied.

……

However, Ebizo has never been interested in paying attention to it. At this time, the famous words of Sagakushi, which is well-known in the local area, are constantly echoing in his ears: "Sand Gaze - is the invincible steel in the wind and sand!" This is the first generation of Mu Kazekage・What Sandataki Rieto-sama often said to their siblings and later the third generation of Kazekage Sandataki Chien.

After Chi Yan officially took office, their siblings became his right-hand men because of their special status as teammates and their own strength. Even though they have gone through several dynasty changes, they are still important, respected, and respected. A veteran minister with profound qualifications.Although their family, which was originally hailed as "full of loyalty", turned out to be a traitorous and international criminal like "Scorpion of Red Sand" that everyone scolded, the lofty prestige and power of the siblings have never been affected. too much impact.

Sataki Chiyan is known as the "Strongest Kazekage" by virtue of his blood succession limit - "Magnetic Escape" ninjutsu, Chiyo's sister's superb puppet technique, and Ebizo's own powerful and terrifying sealing technique... together form a pair of enemies. The Sand Yin Ninja Village is well protected like a copper wall and an iron wall.But Chi Yan also used the most ruthless and coldest way to gradually destroy the two people's unswerving trust and companionship towards him.The reason is still the same sentence: "Sand hidden—is the invincible steel in the wind and sand, so the two of you should be as ruthless as steel!"

Iron face... ruthless?

Heh, in the end, after working hard all his life for the sake of hiding in the sand, and being ruthless to his relatives, what he got in return is that he, who is dying and has no time, is alone and alone when he is more than seventy years old?

……

My little Fei Ying, Dad always feels that you... seem to be getting closer and closer to this desolate desert that swallowed up your young life long ago. Could it be you... Are you back?

The aging Hai Laozang unreasonably came up with such a rather "bizarre" idea. He smiled lightly, and suddenly lifted the bamboo and wooden fishing rod that often got nothing...

what?

He actually... caught a golden cherry koi[1]? !That is the red and white koi [2] that Fei Ying likes the most.

--------

"Sasuke-kun, Shikamaru, Temari-san, we've finally arrived!" A voice that was equally soft and melodious but obviously excited sounded ethereally from the edge of this desert...

The author has something to say:
