Epilogue 2 A conversation between the three of them
Below the hill, there was a commotion gradually. As soon as it was time for the worship, civilians began to flock to the shrine. For them, Akibara brought them peace, a day of peace and comfort with their loved ones who could watch the sunset without worrying about any threats.
Hearing the voice below, Tsunade, Hakura prepared to leave. Tsunade heads north, ready to continue her journey to the Land of Snow to see the icebergs. Hakura is ready to return to the training ground to familiarize himself with the blood of Akihara in his body and the abilities he brings.
Kaguya saw the two of them and said softly, "Let's go and sit in my house together." ”
The two were very surprised, but there was no panic, even if they met Akihara's wife, they could calmly say that I like Akihara. For more than 20 years, we have accompanied him.
The two of them followed Kaguya to her home, and Tsunade watched quietly, the layout of the house was still so simple, just like her home in Konoha. Maybe this is the style he likes, but his life is complicated, intertwined with intrigue and struggle, and his life is so heavy.
Walking through the courtyard, the three of them came to the living room. Ye Cang found that there were two people inside, in their forties, who had never seen each other. However, from between the eyebrows, you can vaguely see the shadow of Akibara. This is also the first time that Hakura has come to Akihara's home in the year since his resurrection.
Kaguya spoke, "These two are Akibara's father and mother, who were resurrected when he left. I called the two of you this time to ask about your experience with Akibara. ”
Akihara's mother, Yukiyoko, spoke, "I was reincarnated by Akihara once before I was resurrected, and that time he lied to me that the family would be reunited soon, but when we woke up, he was gone. I'd love to know more about my child's past, please. ”
Looking at Akihara's mother, Tsunade begins to elaborate on her past with Akihara. From rescuing Akibara, to helping Akibara, and finally to his departure. The time came for the two to be hostile. And then her death.
In the middle of Tsunade's narration, no one disturbed out loud, Kaguya, Akihara's parents, Hakura. They were all listening. For them, it's a way to miss Akibara.
In the process of telling, Tsunade naturally omitted some of the small warmth that belonged to the two of them. She felt that these should be memories that belonged to two people and should not be shared with others.
"Just a while ago, I learned that when I rescued Akibara, he was not trapped for eight days, but for several years."
With these words, everyone fell silent. They could feel the pain of Akihara at that time. How painful it must be to live for a few years in a place where you can only lie down without a person.
Kaguya choked up and said, "When I buried him, I thought he was dead forever. I happened to have developed a sealing technique, and I wanted him not to be disturbed, but ......"
Speaking of this, Kaguya burst into tears. She could imagine how much pain her unintentional move had caused to Akibara. Yukiyoko comforted Kaguya and said, "Don't cry, judging from the fact that he didn't tell you about this, Akihara didn't complain about you at all." ”
But the more this happened, the more sad Kaguya cried. She loved Akihara so much that she never thought of hurting him. But the more she loved, the stronger her self-blame became.
It took more than twenty minutes for Kaguya to calm down.
Slowly, Hakura began to tell about their past, she was the only person alive in this world who knew about the Akibara Project, but she still deliberately hid some of it. For example, her daily life with Akihara, which belongs to her. For example, the things of the moon, such as how much pain Akihara endured to rescue Kaguya. She must not have kept it a secret and kept it a secret.
Kaguya loves Akihara so much, and if you say it, it will make Kaguya feel a huge guilt in her heart. Although she admired Kaguya, these pains were not something she could bear, or should bear.
What Akihara expected, it should be the same. No one suffers, everyone is happy.
After Ye Cang finished talking, the audience fell silent. Although Hakura omitted a lot of things, everyone could feel how hard life was in Akihara in those years
Survive, live, live. At the three levels of life, with extreme material affluence, many people may not feel the threat of survival for the rest of their lives. The level of life is rarely touched. All that's left is life.
However, Akibara did go through every stage. For others it is envy. But to the people present, it was a pain for Akihara, who had pursued ordinary happiness all his life.
Life occupies so little time in his life. Less, so little warmth, he was moved.
Akihara's father and mother left the living room after listening to the two of them, leaving only Kaguya, Hakura, and Tsunade in the field.
"I envy you?" Kaguya spoke.
"Envy us?"
"Yes, I envy you. In the last three days of Akihara's life, he went on a trip. I was worried about him at the time, so I silently followed him. I saw him stay in front of your corpse for a long time, and transferred his blood to your body, I believe that after the resurrection, you should feel the changes in yourself, right? ”
After Ye Cang was resurrected, he clearly felt the changes in himself. She knew that Akihara had done it, because of the blood he had once pumped to herself. It was only confirmed today.
Kaguya continued, "And Tsunade, who froze your body in the same place where you saved him when you died. Do you know? That's where I buried him. ”
Time seemed to stop, and Kaguya slowly spoke, "He loves you." ”
Ye Cang immediately spoke: "If you follow him, it is impossible not to find out with his strength." Did he deliberately let you see this? No way, he loves you so much. For your sake, he unleashed a world-wide war, and he was hostile to Tsunade who saved himself and killed her. So, you lied, even if he loves us, the person he loves the most is still you, and he can't let you suffer all this. It should be that we envy you, not that you envy us. ”
"I'm not lying, you didn't know the state of Akihara before the resurrection, at that time he began to forget, his strength declined rapidly, and the shattering of his soul affected his memory, making him begin to forget the past, he originally planned to accompany us for a year, but he was afraid that he would forget that day, so he advanced the date of the resurrection lady. That's why I was able to see that scene without being noticed. ”
Tsunade spoke, "Yes, I like him. Maybe he likes me too. You said so much, what do you want to do, express your dissatisfaction, hatred or kill us? ”
"I've never thought about Xingshi asking for guilt, I just want to know the little things between you, I want to know how he came over after I haven't been with him for decades? Can it satisfy me? ”
Those were supposed to be the most private memories of each other, but Tsunade Hakura wanted to know more about Akihara, and they finally agreed.
Kaguya shares the encounter between the two, the life of a thousand years ago, and the last time of the Akibara years. Tsunade shares the first half of Akihara's life after his resurrection, while Hakura shares the second half of Akihara's life.
When everything was said and done, Kaguya, Tsunade realized how much Akihara loved Kaguya in the first place. And Kaguya herself also understands how much sacrifice Akihara has made for her. She began to let go of the dissatisfaction and sadness in her heart, and began to put herself in Akihara's shoes to understand Akihara's heart and struggle with his heart.
After Akihara was resurrected, when there was no information, she searched all the information she could find in the world, but still did not find any news about herself. He decided to put his life on the line and go to the Dragon Cave to find the last hope.
Kaguya understood how painful Akihara's heart was at that time. On the one hand, there is ethereal news, and there may be no result in the final death, in exchange for deep despair. On the other hand, as long as he turns around and goes to Tsunade or Hakura, he doesn't need to live so tired in this life.
If you're not in a situation like this, you never know what your choice will be. There is no credibility in all the verbal choices. Hearing Hakura and Tsunade's narration, she began to walk into the inner world of Akihara for more than 20 years. Little by little, let's understand the changes in Akibara in the past 20 years.
Time never shows mercy to anyone, and it is fair to all. What has changed is changed. Konan is no exception to Yahiko, Tsunade is no exception to Tsunade, and Akihara is no exception to Kaguya.
It's just that she is lucky to have such a person who loves her from beginning to end.
For a moment, Kaguya suddenly felt so lucky. She begins to let go of her grievances with Hakura and Tsunade, trying to understand the relationship between them and Akihara.
She began to understand one thing, even though it made her feel slightly uncomfortable. Akihara loves the two of them as much as he loves himself. At some of the most difficult stages of his life, he met himself, met her and her.
Time flows quietly, and the years are as gentle as a song. The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, the sunlight shone in through the window, and the whole living room was white and bright, and you could see the dust beating in the air.
Kaguya suddenly noticed that the two of them had tears in their eyes. And she herself didn't know when she had already burst into tears.
