Chapter 36: Everyone's Troubles
Leaving them to talk about their affection, I left quietly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wandering aimlessly, he unconsciously walked to the memorial monument again.
I find that I like to come here more and more, probably because I don't have to hide myself in front of people who have died.
I always like to come here, looking at the names of irrelevant people, but my thoughts drift to the distant past...... At this time, I can't help but reach out and touch the silent faces full of memories, my fingers gently passing through the wind, but only air.
For them, I am dead, but in my heart, they live forever, whose misfortune is this......
With a soft sigh in his heart, his hand hung down weakly, and let everything go with the wind.
I turned around and left silently.
After a dull evening, the ceremony of merging the Hino family into Konoha was held in the auditorium as scheduled. The villagers of Konoha came to see the excitement, and the original families of Konoha occupied a consistent position to watch the ceremony.
After the formal submission and permission process between Masao and Tsunade, the people of the Hino clan moved from the guest seat to the main seat, and there was a warm and rhythmic cheer from the hall.
But it's probably more out of courtesy, I thought.
In the future, we will rely on loyalty and strength to prove ourselves, and we are ambitious.
After the ceremony, it was a tea ceremony, and the villagers dispersed, and I was not interested in this, so I left on my own.
In any case, it should be a joyful day similar to a holiday!
But I couldn't get into that atmosphere anyway.
Leave the auditorium far away, run to the cliff where Tsubaki used to live, and set up a chessboard in front of Konoha, or do something practical and meaningful!
But I couldn't calm down in my heart. Speaking of which, it's been more than a month since the last doppelganger went out, and although there is a seal, it shouldn't last that long, right, what's wrong? Now there are two clones outside, if it is really to collect information about "Xiao", I don't believe that with the ability of the members of "Xiao", the doppelgangers can go undetected for so long.
Alas! I'm so worried here, but I don't know how to get away with it over there, I can't help but complain that my doppelganger is coming.
But I don't know that I have wronged the clones, and these two clones will never come back. Although both of them found out important information, they did not have a chance to send it back to Konoha. What happened was much later for me to know.
Seeing that there is no hope, should we start being a doppelganger again?
For a long time, the chess pieces in his hand were not put down.
"Teacher Yoyo, you're here!"
When I looked up, I saw a thin and weak teenager standing there lazily.
"Shikamaru? Why didn't you attend the tea ceremony? ”
"That kind of thing, it's too troublesome, it's rare to have a holiday, how can it be wasted on that kind of occasion."
Well, I nodded knowingly.
"So, let's play a game together, shall we? The teacher hadn't come to play chess with me for two months. ”
Smile. How dare you at the current level?
"Okay. Still, it's going to make you laugh again. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, not this time! I'll be serious! ”
It's even more difficult to get serious, in short, it's an opponent that needs to be dealt with carefully. Put aside all your previous thoughts and concentrate on playing chess.
"Teacher Yoyo is making rapid progress, and you can also have a good eye!"
I laugh because I finally didn't think of it as a game. In the past, I just had a fun attitude to learn chess, so it was difficult to improve. However, it is the life of an important person! However, can Shikamaru feel it?
"Huh? I would venture to ask, here, why not go this way? "Shikamaru's slender hand is assigned to my chess piece.
"This ...... If ......"
"Although you have to sacrifice the silver general, you can use the next hand to play the king's hand, such a good chess, I believe that Mr. Yoyo will not fail to see it! Honestly, I'm amazed you've gotten to this point! ”
It's not that I didn't see it, but when I came to this point, I was secretly frightened. Unconsciously, just left, is it in my subconscious, the silver general, must also be sacrificed?
"No, you can't go that way!" I chose to back off.
"If you don't go this way, you may lose!" Shikamaru turned over his infantry for a long time, "Kim, I'm a son!" ”
The situation is irreparable, I looked and looked.
If you go this way, you will have to pay more sacrifices. If the silver will be difficult for me to give up, then the other chess pieces can be discarded casually?
I'm irritable!
I thought about it a few times in my heart, but I can't turn it over anymore......
"I throw in the towel!"
"Huh? There should still be a chance, huh? Yoyo-sensei! ”
"No, I didn't sacrifice the least in exchange for the biggest price, I was a failed commander, I, lost."
Is that so? Shikamaru looked at me in surprise.
"Shikamaru, you are already a shinobi, and you have already gone on a mission as a squad leader. I believe you know this truth better than I do. ”
"Hmmm! But ......"
I shook my head and put away the board.
"Don't you want to go down? It's still early. Shikamaru looked like he couldn't get enough of it.
"I'm not playing chess anymore...... After that, I won't be able to ......."
"That, what is this?"
Looking at Shikamaru, this kid hasn't understood yet.
Suddenly laughed: "Hehe, there is still a chance, if you can turn the tables, I will come to you again." ”
Well, if you can turn the tables, if you can change your fate.
I believe.
"Well, let's not mention it. However, the question that the teacher said last time ......"
"What's the problem?"
"That's it, the problem of blood hidden, I'll go back and think about it."
"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
"Yes. Judging from the situation of the village fighting with the blood hidden twice, the blood ninjas are a group of fierce guys who are not afraid of death. Although it is said that people can give their lives without fear for a certain faith, they always feel that if they want to achieve an aimless goal, or just for someone's hope, the death of blood ninja is too unworthy, so I am afraid that someone has controlled them by some means. However, judging from the course of the battle, the blood ninja's skills and reactions are very flexible, so it is speculated that it is not a mind control technique or something, maybe it is a drug, but, most likely, it is a religion. ”
"Religion?"
"Hmm. Religion is the easiest way to provoke fanatical thinking and blind trust in human beings. ”
My first reaction was flg......
"Also, judging from the techniques they use, it doesn't seem to be entirely the ability brought by the blood inheritance, and it is also inconsistent with Japan's consistent ninja way, so it is suspected that it is a force from outside the country, most likely, a force from mainland China!"
"Thirdly, judging from the relationship between the blood and the other ninja villages, it seems that there is no deliberate friendship or friendship, that is, the leader of the blood ninja should not aim to build a strong force, but to pursue something specific, or, out of a special hobby...... In short, this matter is the most confusing. ”
"That's it, probably. I'm sorry that there are no clear directions. ”
"Well, it's already good, I'll think about it again, thank you, Shikamaru!"
Religion? Seeing the direction of Shikamaru's departure, it seems very possible...... The Japanese, once they have faith, are very crazy, this strange race.
Settle down. Let's go back first.
After such a long delay, it seems that the tea ceremony is over.
The village is calm again.
Tsunade and Shizune walk down the road together.
Put your hands behind your back and look up at the sky.
"Hmm~~ That's good! It's been a long time since I've been so laid-back, and I'm bored in the office all day, and I'm dying! ”
"How can Tsunade-sama say that? This is the responsibility of the Hokage! ”
Having said that, Tsunade-sama is really pitiful, from such a casual life to now so hard and boring......
"Mute! Come with me to the tavern! ”
"Ah, how can that be?!"
"If not, I'll go by myself?"
"Uh, forget it, I'll go with Tsunade-sama......" mute gave in.
The two men stopped under the wine flag.
"Ahh Hokage-sama?! Silent Adult! The uncle of the tavern hurriedly greeted him.
"Today, don't stop me, mute!"
Shizune grimaced as she looked at the growing bottles in front of Tsunade. It's over......
"Huh!" I walked in with the curtain open.
"Huh? Yoyo-sensei! Mute stood up suddenly.
"Please come and persuade Tsunade-sama. In this case, there are important documents to read when you go back, but you can ......."
"What? Mute, do you want me to persuade you to drink? ”
"Huh?" Shizune's eyes widened.
"Then please bring some more wine! Today, it's up to me to treat you! ”
Unceremoniously sat across from Tsunade, grabbed a bottle of wine casually and drank it.
As a shadow of a village, there must be a lot of troubles! The eyes are full of chess pieces who are unwilling to sacrifice, and between the trade-offs, they have long been soft-hearted!
"Come, I salute you! Tsunade, my lord! "For the first time, I called out to my lord sincerely.
Tsunade looked up in surprise.
"Oh? Yoyo, it's good, it's good! When I looked up, half a bottle of wine was gone.
The two of them drank in silence for a long time.
I actually drank very badly, especially in this way, and soon I became dizzy and fell asleep on the table.
"Huh? Isn't that going to work? She's bad too, mute? It's not as good as you! "Tsunade's face is flushed, and he can't speak clearly.
Shizune waved his hand, "Well, Tsunade-sama, I think, let's go back." ”
"Oh, it's no fun to be alone, so let's go back, uh~" Wobbly stood up and walked out.
"Hey, Yoyo-sensei?" Silent pat me. I didn't move.
"Hey, Tsunade-sama?" Both sides need to be taken care of.
"She said, if you want to have a treat, leave her down to pay!" Tsunade continued to walk out.
"How can this be? How can this be? ”
"Rest assured, this is our own village. Uh~"
Shizune had no choice but to catch up with Tsunade and carry her back.
"Haha~haha~ I drank so much today! Ah, isn't it~ mute! ”
"Tsunade-sama, please, don't do this, you'll be seen by others!"
"Huh? Someone looking at me? Who looks at me? Tsunade shook his head desperately, "Ah, I'm so dizzy~dizzy~"
Fall down.
"Whew~It's really troublesome~" Shizune hurriedly grabbed Tsunade and dragged her towards the Hokage Mansion. It just so happened that Sakura came out of her studies.
"Great, Sakura-chan, Yoyo-sensei is still in the tavern, please take care of her!"
