Chapter XXXVII: The War Ends
Rain Ninja Village.
"The war is over. "Absolutely.
"What is the result?"
"Konoha won. "Black absolutely.
"I didn't expect the two of you to be there, but Konoha actually won. "Spots.
"Do you have a detailed battle situation?"
"Of course, I also recorded all the battles with my clones, do you want to watch them?"
"All I need is about Xia Yun. "Rain.
"It's a pity that Natsuyun isn't in Konoha. "White absolute.
"Xia Yun and the people you brought to Konoha were kicked out. "Black absolutely.
"......" rain.
"No wonder Orochimaru and Sand Ninja Village dare to attack Konoha. "Snow.
"What are you going to do next?" Payne.
"Give me Orochimaru's location information, and I want him to know if the mountain of God Destroying is reliable. After saying that, the rain left.
"What is the relationship between Konoha and Tsukishinobu Village?" "Yuki is very concerned about the relationship between the two.
"I don't know. "Absolutely.
"At the moment, the relationship between the two is a little strained, and when the new Hokage takes office, it may be a little better, or it may be worse. "Spots.
"Have you decided on a new Hokage?"
"No, not yet. "White absolute.
"However, Jiraiya is also in Konoha, and there is a good chance that he will become the next Hokage. "Spots.
"Jiraiya teacher...... "snow."
After hearing Jiraiya's name, Payne and Xiao Nan's expressions changed slightly.
"By the way, there was an unexpected person this time. "White absolute.
"Who?"
"Her name is Matsui Kuronyo, she wears blue and brown clothes, long pale yellow hair, she does not belong to any force, and her origin is unknown, and her moves are also very strange. "White absolute.
"However, she has appeared in the Land of Lakes before. "Black absolutely.
"Lake Country......" Yuki remembered that Yoshiko Morikawa had said about this place before, and then went to look for rain.
(!————)
August 6, Konoha 61, the first day of the end of the war.
"What did you say!?" Sasuke said excitedly.
"Orochimaru joined the God of Extermination, and from his mouth, it was learned that the God of Exterminator had killed five generations of Hokage. Xiaoxue is with the five generations of adults, and I am afraid that she will also be poisoned. Kakashi said heavily.
Sasuke lowered his head, silently, and clenched his fists.
Although there were no bones of their brother and sister, a grave was built for them. Kakashi pulled out a black outfit. "Tomorrow there will be a funeral for those who died in the war, remember to wear it. ”
Kakashi put his clothes on the table, "If you don't want to participate, don't participate." Then Kakashi left Sasuke's house. Kakashi knew what Sasuke's mood was like right now.
“……”
"Are you a person again......" Sasuke thought with his head down.
Kakashi left Sasuke's house and walked alone on the silent street, when he suddenly stopped somewhere and looked up at the house next to him, which was Obito's house.
"Obito ......" Kakashi.
……
"Knock knock. "There was a knock at the door.
"Konohamaru, it's time to eat. "Asma.
"......" Konohamaru curled up in the corner of the room, holding himself, bowing his head and crying.
Asma stood outside the door, and after a while, she placed the tea tray with her meal in the door and left.
……
In the Konoha Cemetery, two new tombs have been added, the third generation of Hokage - Sarutobi Hichi, and the fifth generation of Hokage - Uchiha Rain. A man dressed in red and with white hair stands in front of two newly constructed tombstones.
"I didn't expect it to be like this......" Jiraiya stared at the tombstone.
"If I had been there...... If I hadn't left ......"
"Orochimaru ......"
“…… Sure enough, there is no one in this world who can compete with the God of Extermination......"
Then Jiraiya came to the tomb of Bo Feng Shuimen.
“……”
"I'm sorry, Watergate, I failed to protect their brothers and sisters, it's my master who is too derelict in his duties, you must hate me very much......"
"Now, the only thing I can do is teach your children. Don't worry, I'll train him to be a ninja who won't lose to you!"
……
Naruto went to visit Shino in the hospital, because yesterday he helped him block Ichio's attack, and he was seriously injured, and I don't know if he has woken up now.
"Yes, he hasn't woken up yet. "Nurse.
"Really? "Naruto.
Naruto turned and left the hospital and met Tooth at the door.
"Yo, Naruto. "Teeth.
"Fang, why are you here?"
"Come and visit Shikamaru and Shino. "Teeth.
"Shikamaru, he's hospitalized too?"
"Didn't he act with you yesterday?"
"Hmm......" Naruto thought earnestly, "Ah, I remember." ”
"You guy, forget it, don't bother to talk about you. Tooth went straight to the hospital, and Naruto kept staring at Tooth's back until it was gone.
(!————)
August 7. Konoha holds a solemn funeral for those who died in the war.
Naruto got up early and looked at the black clothes on the bedside table, "......"
“…… Death ......"
Naruto reluctantly picked up his clothes and changed into black.
“…… Why would people risk their lives for others?" Naruto asked himself as he walked.
"Why, bang!" Naruto kept his head down and thought about the problem, only to crash headfirst into a telephone pole on the side of the road.
"Ahh
"Open defecation is prohibited here. Kakashi popped up.
"Who's defecating in the open!" Naruto roared.
"Be civilized in public. "Kakashi.
"I didn't!" Naruto.
"If you have time to joke, you might as well hurry up and go to the cemetery. Kakashi said as he left.
"Who is kidding!" Naruto shouted at Kakashi.
"Really. Naruto smacked his lips.
"Hey, Naruto. "Shino.
"Huh? Shino. Naruto saw Shino in a wheelchair, "Hey, are you okay?"
"It's fine, it's just that it's hard to control your body for the time being. "Shino.
"Don't touch the fish, hurry up to the memorial service. "Teeth.
"I'm fishing, I'm going to town!" Naruto was a little angry.
"It's 'who' not water, it's 'positive' not town. "Shikamaru.
"Verbosity!" Naruto walked towards the cemetery on his own.
"Naruto. "Teeth.
"What?" Naruto looked back indignantly.
"The cemetery is over there. Shikamaru pointed to the other side.
"......" Naruto.
……
Naruto came to the cemetery.
"Naruto, why are you here, you're about to read the eulogy, hurry up. "Sakura-chan.
"Oh. Naruto immediately ran, looking left and right as he ran.
When he arrived at his destination, Naruto was still looking around.
"Who are you looking for?" Sakura.
"What about Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto.
"Soon after Kakashi-sensei came, he left. Sasuke hasn't come yet. "Sakura-chan.
"That's right. "Naruto.
……
Another place at this time.
Kakashi stood in front of the memorial monument with his head bowed......
At this time, Xiyan came over with flowers.
"Is it for Tempest?" Kakashi.
Xiyan didn't speak, silently walked to the monument and offered flowers.
"Hokage-sama's funeral has begun, let's get over it. Kakashi turned and walked away.
"Brother Kakashi, are you here to see Obito?"
"......" Kakashi stopped.
"Instead of having to think of a reason for being late every time, why don't you arrive early?" Xiyan folded his palms in front of the monument in mourning.
"I ...... Came early...... Just as soon as I got here...... I'm going to keep reprimanding my former self...... "Kakashi."
……
After the eulogy, Naruto looked at the tombstones of the five Hokages, turned his head, and asked Iruka, who was beside him, "Iruka-sensei, why do people fight for their lives for others?"
"......" Iruka.
"When a man dies, everything that he once owned will disappear, and his past, present, and future will disappear......" Iruka.
"A lot of people die in war, or on missions, and it's really easy to die......," Kakashi said he didn't know when he arrived, "and all of these people who died had their own dreams, and everyone had their own cherished things. ”
"Parents, siblings, friends, lovers, friends in the village, these are all people who are important to you. A bond with people who trust and help each other and feel important from birth...... This bond will become stronger and stronger over time. "Iruka.
"......" Naruto.
"It's not a big deal, but people who have this kind of bond will do it, because they cherish ......," Iruka.
"That's why I don't want to lose ...... I think I can understand this thought...... "Naruto.
"Thank you, Iruka-sensei. Naruto turned and left.
"Three generations of adults, it seems that the will of fire you mentioned has been inherited by the little Konoha people in Konoha Village, and the sparks that fall on Konoha will one day turn into a raging fire...... One day, he will become the new Hokage...... Keep lighting up the village......" Iruka looked at Naruto's back.
