Chapter 39: Gaps

Naruto World

Konoha Village

In the park at sunset, the children who were playing were called by their parents, and the smiles on their faces disappeared when they knew that they were going home now, but after making an appointment with their companions to come here again tomorrow, they happily took their parents' hands and went home.

In addition to the entertainment facilities for children to play in this park, there is also a very conspicuous statue placed in the center, and the originally lively park has become deserted because of the departure of children one by one.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that on the bench in front of the statue, a young man with a face and clothes somewhat similar to the statue was sitting there, staring up at the statue, although he didn't know what he was thinking, the smile on the corner of his mouth could easily make people guess how happy he was at the moment.

The red of the sunset shines on the statue, adding a touch of softness to it.

The owner of the statue is not a boy, but his father, the hero who saved the world, Asakura Ha, who is known to the world as the Black Grim Reaper. And the boy is his son - Asakura Night Sky.

Although he has never met his father, he has only heard of his existence in storybooks since he was a child, and both his strength and his strategy have fascinated the night sky.

Heroes are often loved by their children, especially when their father is a hero, as his children, it is understandable that they will be more admired and fanatical than others.

Since he was a child, he has been collecting the deeds of Asakura leaves, and constantly imitating everything about him, including learning many of his bad habits, but this was soon discovered by his mother, Kurama Yakumo, and then under the 'kind words and persuasion' of his mother's true illusion, he hurriedly promised that he would definitely quit those bad habits.

As the days grew up, the young night sky slowly grew up, but his worship of Asakura Ye did not diminish because of the passage of time, but increased more than ever.

The clothes on his body are the same style as Makura leaves, and the saber on his waist is also the same appearance as him, and his knife is not as magical as Sakura, but it is also a good ninja knife.

As long as the night sky is in Konoha, unless there is something else to do, I basically stay in this park and look at the statue of Asakuraha.

The reason why the statue of Asakura Ha was placed here was the proposal of the seventh Hokage-Naruto Uzumaki, and for him it was the place where he and Asakura Ha met for the first time, and it was also the beginning of their friendship.

I don't know how long it has been, but the afterglow of the setting sun has long since disappeared, and the cold night breeze blows on him.

The cold made the night sky shiver, took out a cardboard box from his pocket, knocked the opening against his palm a few times, and a cigarette holder slipped out of the box, placing the cigarette holder in his mouth.

If you look closely, you will see that the cigarette is not wrapped in tobacco or anything like that, but a black strip, which is a kind of chocolate that looks like a cigarette, after all, he promised his mother that he would never touch tobacco or alcohol.

Peeling off the outer layer of paper and chewing on the chocolate, Night Sky stood up and said to the statue, "Goodbye, Dad." ”

For some reason, he didn't like to talk to his father lying in the grave, but liked to greet the statue in front of him here.

After saying hello, throw the peeled paper into the trash can next to it, and leave the park as you normally would, and return to your home.

Pushing open the door, he shouted into the room while changing his shoes, "Mom, I'm back." ”

"Hmm. It's back. Yakumo came out of the kitchen with a knife, greeted him with a smile, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and said with a smile, "I accompanied Ah Ye all afternoon today." ”

Night Sky nodded, every time she came back at this time, even if she didn't say anything, she understood what she was just doing.

Walked up to Yakumo and put his hand in front of her, "Mom, go rest first, and leave the rest to me." ”

"Then please. Yakumo didn't say anything, but happily handed him the knife, after all, it wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

After taking the knife, Night Sky went to the kitchen and began to continue the work that Yakumo had just left unfinished.

Sitting in the living room looking at his son preparing dinner, remembering that he had gone to the Iron Country to learn swordsmanship a few days ago, Yakumo, who was curious about what he had learned, asked, "Did you gain anything from the Iron Country?"

While handling the ingredients in his hands, he answered his mother's question, "Master Yihao has taught me a lot of things, and even his flash I can almost use it, but I want to learn from my father's new moon even more." ”

The cultivation of the Iron Country has given him a lot of benefits, but the night sky feels frustrated that Yoshihiro Kamiizumi has no way to teach him the new moon.

"......." Yakumo didn't take his words, but chose to be silent, in her eyes, the night sky and Asakura leaf were more and more similar, but this was not what she expected, she didn't want her son to become like his father.

After a moment of silence, she spoke, "By the way, Naruto just came, and he asked you to visit the Hokage's office tomorrow." ”

"Seven generations of Hokage-sama?" "Night Sky, who was originally handling the ingredients, couldn't help but jump for a moment, and then pursed his lips and whispered.

As the son of Asakura Ha, Night Sky should have called Naruto in a more affectionate manner, or directly called him uncle, but instead of doing so, he used a very indifferent voice, as if calling a stranger, without any emotion.

"Is it a mission? If not, I won't go. ”

For his son's rudeness, Yakumo has no intention of correcting him, it should be said that he is used to it, and there are some things that only he can change, and there is no room for others to interfere.

Yakumo replied uncertainly, "It should be a mission." Also, let's do a little more tonight, Dad will come to our house for dinner. ”

"What do you mean by dinner? I obviously brought a gift. As soon as Yakumo's words were finished, Kakashi's grumbling voice came from the entrance.

"Grandpa. Night Sky heard Kakashi's voice, not as cold as Naruto, but came out of the kitchen very enthusiastically, and when he saw the bag he was holding, "That's?"

"The specialty of the land of water, your favorite food. Kakashi walked over to the night sky and handed him the bag.

"Seafood. Let's watch my top cooking tonight. "Night Sky took the bag, looked at the fish and shrimp that were still alive inside, grinned, and then returned to the kitchen to fight the ingredients.

Yakumo and Kakashi sat in the living room, chatting for a while, and after the night sky made dinner, they brought out the food one by one.

The three of them enjoyed a peaceful dinner like this, and Kakashi occasionally told some things about Asakuraha's childhood, especially some troubles, which they enjoyed listening to Kakashi tell about even though they had heard him talk about these things several times.

After dinner, Kakashi said goodbye to the two and returned to his home, and the night passed.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the night sky came to the Hokage's office, knocked on the door, and got the approval of the people inside, the night sky pushed the door in, and there were other people in the office besides Naruto, smiling and nodding to the others, but when facing Naruto, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

"What is the matter? Hokage-sama. ”

Knowing that the night sky was dead in his arms because of Asakura Ha, Naruto still wanted to have a good relationship with him, and after hearing his indifferent words, he stopped what he was doing and smiled at the night sky, "........ Didn't I say several times that you can just call me uncle? ”

"Forget it, if there's nothing to do, I'll leave first. Nightsky refused without thinking, and at the same time prepared to turn and leave.

Regarding the indifferent attitude of the night sky, the others frowned and looked at him in displeasure, but soon lowered their heads and did their own things, like the conversation just now, which had happened several times before, and they were all used to it.

"That's right. Some inexplicable spatial rifts suddenly appeared near the edge of the Fire Country, you are the best person in the village in spatial ninjutsu, so I want to ask you to take a look, if there is..."

"I see. Before Naruto could finish speaking, the night sky turned and left directly, heading to his destination.

Instead of being angry at the night sky's behavior, he felt helpless about the relationship between the two of them. Naruto sighed in frustration. "Alas... That kid..."

"It's really like Ah Ye. Shikamaru next to him curled his hair and picked up Naruto's words that he wanted to continue.

"Neither Yakumo nor I want him to follow the same path as Aye, he should have his own life and not be bound by Aye. ”

The night sky's indifference to himself is just an immature thought, and the hero of worship dies in his arms, giving him a knot of thinking that if he didn't have himself, then he wouldn't die.

As long as the night sky has not opened this dead knot, then the relationship between himself and him will always be in an irreparable relationship.

"He's going to grow up someday, and he's going to understand a lot of things. ”

Naruto looked at the photo frame on the table, one of the photos was a family photo taken by their family, and looking at the Asakura leaf on the photo, he nodded with an oath. "He'll understand. He'll untie the dead knot. ”

I don't know what Naruto thinks, the night sky flew to the border area of the Fire Country, and somewhere there was a warning bar that the Konoha ninja pulled in order to prevent others from entering it, and after telling the person in charge the reason, the night sky passed through the warning bar and came to a rift.

The crack appeared in the air where there was nothing, as if it was a pocket that had been forcibly torn open, and inside was pitch black, and there were countless red weird eyeballs, staring at the outside, and two red bows were tied at both ends of the rift.

I've never seen this kind of space, and I haven't found changes in space from the rift, so I guess that this may be ninjutsu that doesn't destroy or affect space, and it's an existence I've never heard of. Night Sky plans to ask the person in charge for news and see if there are any clues that can be used as a breakthrough.

Just as he turned around, he found that everyone was staring at him, and his eyes were full of surprise.

But soon he realized that they weren't staring at him, but at the rift behind him.

Knowing that the crack had changed in the night sky, he immediately turned around to look, and the crack that was originally in place suddenly expanded, becoming about the same size as his own height, and his eyes in the darkness stared at him deadly, staring at the night sky creepy.

When he realized that the rift was actually close to him, the night sky immediately wanted to jump to the side, but his body seemed to be controlled by someone, and he couldn't move at all.

The rift was like a beast about to swallow its prey in one bite, suddenly swallowing the night sky into the eerie, eye-filled darkness, and after swallowing the night sky, it seemed to zip up and disappear into the air, leaving only a bewildered guard ninja with a blank face.
