Chapter 66: White Fang's Invitation
What is this?
Makoto frowned, that thing was extremely fast, even with the dynamic vision of the writing wheel, this moment was just a glimpse. If it weren't for Makoto's extreme confidence in his eyesight, he would almost think he was dazzled.
The towering Great Elder in front of him seemed to realize this and turned his head.
Makoto clasped his hands together and bowed his head to worship, his posture seemed to be no different from that of the people around him.
- Except for a group of gray or gray old people sandwiching a teenager in the middle of the group, but this is also a matter of course, people like Uchiha Tomoo who are in high positions in the family can only stand on the first floor, and the clansmen who can stand on the second floor are all the kind of people who are extremely prominent in terms of seniority or merit, standing with them, Makoto is extremely conspicuous, and the audience was silent before the ceremony just started, and at this time, there were a lot of whispers from the audience that reached Makoto's ears.
The old man next to him didn't take the initiative to talk to Cheng because of his identity, they exchanged a few words of greeting each other, gathered around the Great Elder, and talked about some of them, no matter in terms of age or interest, Cheng didn't have the interest to interject between them.
On the high platform, the world covered the wrist that was constantly dripping blood, and a servant rushed up to hand over the towel and wound medicine, as a ninja family, this little injury, a little treatment will no longer be in the way. Afterwards, someone from the ceremonial room went up to carry the Bon down, and the ceremony of the festival was over.
The people in the courtyard left the venue in order, and then they participated in the joyful celebration of the whole village as a family unit.
This ancient and mysterious ritual is now only spread in large families such as Uchiha and Hinata, which have a long history, and ordinary families, on the day of Obon, that is, they use porcelain pots to hold some food and worship the dead.
"Grandpa, Makoto."
In a few moments, the people in the courtyard had already walked away, and the wounds were bandaged in advance, and the world came surrounded by several servants.
"World, well done."
The Great Elder praised his granddaughter in a gentle tone, glanced at Makoto who was standing with her, did not speak, and turned his head to deal with the clansmen surrounding him.
The world and Makoto are obediently waiting on the side. Makoto endured it, and didn't ask the world what was going on with the Obon. He was certainly not the first person to open the chakra to see the Bon with his eyes, and it would be a little strange if there was something inexplicable lurking in this ritual vessel in the hundreds of years that the family had existed, and no one had noticed it.
Just now, he specially observed the basin with the writing wheel eye for a while, but he couldn't see anything unusual, no matter from which angle, it was just an ordinary porcelain basin.
However, if it is just an ordinary porcelain pot, how did the phenomenon of burning trees and rebirth come about?
Over there, Masamoto came over to report something, and the Great Elder listened for a while, and then sent him away with a circle of old people around him.
"Grandpa, is the ceremony over?" The world obediently catches up.
A smile appeared on the corner of the Great Elder's mouth, and he glanced at her, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that the woman was not left. From the very beginning, the girl has been constantly defending Makoto Uchiha, and almost everyone present can see that this intention makes him a little jealous in his heart.
But being a grandfather, it will eventually usher in this day, even if it's not this Makoto Uchiha, it will be someone else.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's shoulder, his hand tightened, feeling the thinness and the love and pity for his granddaughter in his heart, so he let go of her and said lightly: "Let's go, it's also lively outside, let's go out for a walk." ”
The world said "um", glanced at Makoto, and saw him take a few steps forward, side by side with himself and his grandfather, and walked towards the courtyard gate first.
Even if it was said that he went out shopping casually, there were not a few people who followed, in addition to the three of them, there were more than a dozen waiters and servants around, and a large group of people walked out of the courtyard gate of the Zongli room.
Outside the door is the Uchiha Street, the street is full of people, lanterns are like day, tourists, vendors, full of human voices, as if boiling, although noisy, but fortunately it is not harsh. This is still a relatively remote Uchiha settlement, and the main people on the street are Uchiha people, if you change to Konoha in a few places that are lively on weekdays, the kind of prosperity and chaos can be even more imaginable.
"Shuo Mao-kun."
At this time, two unexpected people appeared in front of everyone, the Great Elder's eyes were sharp, and someone had reported it before, and he was the first to find the person who came.
"It's you." The white fangs in a fluffy dress lost the sharpness on the battlefield, but looked like a handsome rich boy, facing the Uchiha Grand Elder, he looked extremely polite and respectful: "Excuse me, the festival of Obon, the oldest and noblest inheritance in the entire ninja world, is in the Uchiha family, I took the liberty to come with a dog, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
The parent of Qimu, who is also a wealthy family in the ninja world, said this, which can be said to be the highest praise, not to mention that the prestige of Qimu Shigeshuo as the "White Fang" has added weight to these words, and the Great Elder was slightly moved, no matter how precarious the political status of White Fang is today, the Great Elder does not want to lose his manners in this regard:
"Where, it's just that the ancestors have some relationship with this, since the head of the Qimu family is interested in coming to the cold house, please feel free, my family is not well entertained, so please ask Shuo Maojun to forgive his sins."
White Fang smiled, looking at Makoto to the side, Kakashi beside him was a young man and a young man, with a lot of gifts and playthings on the street, and at this time, he frequently looked at the wrist of the world and gathered in his sleeve, obviously extremely interested in how the blood of the world made the burning tree reborn.
The Great Elder smacked slightly, took the lead and led a group of clansmen to the other side of the street.
When they were far away, Cheng Cai walked up to the two of them, suppressed the little foreboding in his heart, and asked, "What's the matter, Shuo Mao, is there anything wrong with me?" ”
"Ahh
White Fang's standing posture was extremely soothing, as if he was slowly enjoying this lively and cheerful festival, and he smiled and agreed, and said:
"Are you free tomorrow night? Take a trip to Qimu's house. ”
Although Obon is only the day of the full moon on the 15th day of July, the celebration lasts for three days, and traditionally, Obon in the broad sense lasts for three days, with the first day being a family reunion and the second day being a gathering of friends.
Makoto really didn't have any arrangements, and since White Fang opened his mouth to invite, he didn't want to refuse.
As soon as he was about to say yes, he heard a commotion in the crowd next to him, and it was getting closer and closer.
