Chapter 62: Return and Summons (2)
"Voluntary?" Ape Fei sneered: "Those innocent people killed by your White Fang, their 'sacrifice' was also voluntary? ”
Commoners? White Fang was slightly stunned, and his gaze swept to the dark part on the left behind Ape Fei, and a flash of understanding.
The face under the dark mask was swept away by the cold gaze like a knife, and I was shocked, as if the mask had been cut, and I subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch my face.
However, his mind was racing, and he forcibly stopped his gaffe under the mental pressure of White Fang.
"Sometimes, some unwilling sacrifices are unavoidable." White Fang said calmly.
However, although I know that this kind of thing is relatively "correct", I still can't agree with it.
This sentence, in order to cover up for some people, White Fang did not say it.
After a moment of silence, Ape Fei calmed down and said: "Since you know this truth, you should understand that you should choose to complete the task, although doing so will cause some people to die because of it, but for the sake of the village, this is a necessary sacrifice." ”
[For the sake of the village]?
That's why I can't let them sacrifice like that. Why should I ask them to sacrifice for the sake of the village?
White Fang smiled bitterly and looked into Ape Fei's eyes, although he didn't speak, he clearly revealed his meaning.
Ape Fei's sharp eyes were slightly complicated, he looked at the young man in front of him who he admired very much, and after a while, he finally said lightly: "I will fight for you, but if you ...... I hope you can understand that it's all for the sake of the village. ”
White Fang nodded.
Sarutobi glanced out the door, flicked his sleeves, and led the two shadows out of the Hokage's office first.
In the huge room, there was only White Fang and fragments all over the floor.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and White Fang said unexpectedly, "Please come in." ”
Tuan Zang pushed the door in and said to Bai Fang, "Shuo Maojun, I think I have something to discuss with you. ”
Because the three generations had hinted before, the white tooth said clearly: "Lord Shimura, please speak." ”
"If you plan for the worst......" In the half-hidden Hokage's office, the voices of the two gradually became inaudible......
"That's the basic thing." After speaking, he bowed to the Great Elder on the throne.
"Hmm." The Great Elder replied lazily, and said slowly, "Good job, keep up the good work." ”
There was nothing to say in the first place, and everything Makoto had experienced, naturally, would be reported back by the front-line personnel at any time. I'm in such a hurry to get Makoto back today, it's just because I don't want him to run around at this time and fall into the whirlpool where White Fang is.
Zhifu, who was sitting on the left side of his hand, immediately understood: "Cheng, this assessment, the family is very satisfied with your performance, these days, you will have a good rest, and there will be no more tasks for you recently." ”
"Yes," after a pause, Makoto said with a smile, "Although Fuyue was scared enough, fortunately he was not injured. ”
"That's true, it's a big life for this kid." Tomoo also smiled: "Young man, it's good to experience more." ”
"Then I'll retire, Grand Elder, Tomo-sama."
"Hmm."
"Walk slowly."
Makoto stood up and turned to leave, opened the door, and walked out.
World.
It was the morning when the sun was at its mildest, and she stood in the shadow of the trees, the breeze through the gaps between the golden pillars of light, and the maiden's hair.
She was boredly wrenching her slender fingers, tilting her head, but her waist and shoulders were still straight, and she was wearing a purple and white family dress, just standing, like a painting.
"The world."
"Ah, Makoto." The world looked over and greeted happily, her eyes widened slightly, her lips pursed, but the corners of her mouth were deeply upturned, which naturally revealed the elegant bearing of the daughter of a wealthy family.
This girl is getting more and more temperamental as the first princess of Uchiha.
Makoto walked over, looked at her exaggerated costume that was meticulously combed in every detail, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"This?" The world spread out his hands, turned around half a circle in front of Makoto, and turned back embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the festival, the festival, I want to attend the festival with my grandfather, I was trying on clothes in the room." ”
Festival? Makoto blinked, searching his mind for relevant information.
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, yes, it's time to be lively again, not only Konoha but also people from several surrounding cities will gather here, after all, if there is anyone like fireworks, who can compare to ninjas?"
The world clasped its hands in front of him and chirped with a smile.
"Oh." Festival = crowd = law and order problem = garrison force = Uchiha, in comparison, Makoto's mind is such a circuit.
"What, Makoto isn't looking forward to it at all?" The world glared at him dissatisfied.
"I don't know if the family's manpower will be enough by then...... Makoto said bitterly, shouldn't you pull me on patrol or something? After all, this holiday is a family holiday, and it is not impossible for a lonely person like Makoto to be pulled on duty by a seriously understaffed garrison.
"Huh?" The world stood up as if he had been a child, and said in surprise: "Didn't grandpa tell you?" ”
"Say what?" Honest doubts.
"Say ......" World's snow-white cheeks turned red, and he turned his head and said, "I want you to join us in the festival." ”
With the Great Elders? Cheng was even more puzzled, this was not a festival and celebration with much political significance, but because of this, if the Great Elder and Cheng participated together, it would highlight the closeness of the two even more.
"Alas, Makoto's mother is gone, and my relatives are only one grandfather, so my grandfather and I are your family." The girl was articulate, but logically confused and spoke quickly.
Cheng Cheng felt a warm heart, although he knew that the Great Elder may not have no additional considerations, but even if he was calculated by the Great Elder, for the sake of the girl's heart, Cheng was willing to accept it.
"Understood." Makoto nodded.
The world let out a soft "um" and lowered its head to stop looking at him.
The courtyard was incredibly quiet, and the kind of flood-like coolness that originally shrouded the yard seemed to warm up in the tacit silence between the two.
After a long time, the world suddenly remembered, "Oh, Mrs. Komatsu is still waiting for me in the room." ”
"Well, then you go back quickly, I'll go home too."
Seeing the world run away lightly, he turned around the corner and waved his hand to himself, and Makoto was silent in place for a moment before leaving.
7 Hidden Stakes ...... No, this breath, the 8th ...... Is it?
The golden sun shone brightly, but it seemed to be blocked by a dark atmosphere, and the courtyard of the Great Elder was still the same cold, and a pair of eyes in the dark watched Cheng leave, revealing a thoughtful expression.
