In the twelfth year of Konoha, December 30th.

The next day was the New Year's holiday, but the entire Konoha was enveloped in a sad atmosphere, and even the sky was gloomy.

Because on this day, Konoha Village held a funeral among the first Hokage Thousand Hands Pillars.

The funeral arrangement was not complicated, and in the open space of the Konoha Cemetery, a row of tables was set up, and some white flowers were placed on the table, as well as a few white cloths. Behind the desk hangs a black-and-white photograph of the columns, making the environment a little silent.

Masahiko was dressed in black, standing in the middle of the villagers and ninjas who came to mourn, and he didn't stand in the front row like Mito or the four elders of Konoha like them.

Ahead, the head of the house personally presided over the funeral of the pillars, and was reading the life of the pillars.

Beside him, there were bursts of sobbing, and Masahiko took a closer look, and it was actually the two girls who discussed how many years the pillars could protect Konoha during Kenji's wedding.

The content of the discussion at that time was still vivid, and he sighed, "I'm disappointed with you, I still haven't lived past my ......."

The crowd around him began to surge, and Masahiko came back to his senses in confusion, realizing that the speech of the door in front of him had ended, and the crowd moved forward in line little by little, to pay tribute to the pillars to give a white flower.

Masahiko shook his head and walked over to the door.

"Did you cry secretly?"

There was a moment of silence and shook his head.

Masahiko sighed, "Your eldest brother is right, you're really not good at lying. ”

After saying this, Masahiko also took a white flower and walked to the black and white photo between the columns. Scratching his head, "Why didn't I find out where in this world there are cameras for sale...... It would be nice if I could have a video camera, I really want to record it and show it to you, my funeral, I must be very happy......"

The one who was flowering on the side was actually Jing Hitomi, looking at Masahiko, his eyes were red.

"Teacher, are you ...... Are you leaving us too? ”

Masahiko reacted suddenly, his face darkened, "I didn't mean to take it down and show it to him......" After thinking about it, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he turned around and left.

After taking two steps, he turned to look at Hitomi Ino, "After today, I will go out for a while, take a good turn in this ninja world, and tell Nanako and Iko not to think about me......"

After saying this, he found that Jing Hitomi's eyes were even redder, and he was about to explode. Masahiko sighed and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Walking back, I found the familiar sixsome among the people in line to put flowers on the flowers. Six disciples between the pillars and the door.

"These six people are 21 years old... After that, it will be their time. Masahiko muttered. I remember that in the original book, after the middle ninja exam, there was also such a funeral for the Japanese slash...... But now, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity, I don't know if you're happy or regretful. ”

When he came to Mito's side and looked at Mito with a sad face, Masahiko didn't know how to consol him.

The girl's face that hasn't changed for 30 years brought Masahiko's thoughts back to sending Mito to marry the Senju clan, the shy young man, and the watermelon head that poked out from behind the clansmen...... The past replays like a movie.

"Second grandfather, let's go......" Masahiko's thoughts were interrupted by a voice between the doors, and he realized that more than an hour had passed since the funeral had ended and the crowd had dispersed.

"When I'm older, I have a lot of memories......"

Looking around, only Kazuma and Mito were left at the scene, and as for Kenji and his wife, they had already gone back with Kotsunade who was tired of crying.

Masahiko was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head, "I won't go back." ”

Kazuma and Mito looked puzzled, and Masahiko continued to explain, "I'll be 81 years old tomorrow, and after living for so many years, I've only been to the Land of the Wind for half a month, and I feel like I'm too much of a failure......"

"I'm going to go incognito and go around other countries to get a full picture of the ninja world."

Before he could speak, Mito took the initiative to answer, "Second grandfather, then you should go early and return early...... I hope to see you again in my lifetime. ”

Masahiko's eyes widened, "In your lifetime? Mito, do you think the second grandfather is willing to leave for so long? ”

"Don't worry, the ninja world is not calm now, I'll go out and check the information by the way, if there is any trouble, I will come back in time."

There was silence for a moment, and then he said, "Then the second grandfather, you have to be careful......

Masahiko shook his head, "Pillar and Madara are gone, and no one can threaten me." Now there are other countries to worry about...... And do you think the second grandfather will suffer a loss? ”

At the mention of the pillars, the two stopped talking again.

Masahiko hurriedly diverted the topic, "I'm wandering in the ninja world under a pseudonym, maybe I'll be able to meet you when I meet, I hope you will recognize me by then." As he spoke, he looked at the door, "Maybe one day I will suddenly appear in front of you in another identity and scare you......"

He nodded, and looked puzzled, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask what your age is...... If it's inconvenient for you, you can leave it untified. ”

Masahiko was silent for a moment, and was about to find a reason to fool the past, but Mito spoke first and said to Kazuma: "The second grandfather can live for 500 years for some reason. As for the specific reason, I don't know very well. ”

Masahiko looked puzzled, "Five hundred years? When did I tell you I would live for 500 years? ”

Mito also looked surprised, "Didn't you sing that back then?" ”

"What did I sing?" Masahiko was puzzled at first, and then remembered that on the way to send Mito to Senju, he sang an adapted version of "Borrow from the sky for another five hundred years......

"So, that's what Mito thinks all these years?" Masahiko scratched his head and muttered.

"Haha......" Masahiko laughed awkwardly, "yes, yes, but it doesn't have to be five hundred years, maybe four hundred years, maybe three hundred years...... Probably tomorrow? ”

The two were clearly unconvinced......

"Okay, if I can live for five hundred years, you can think that I have cultivated a special technique......" Saying this, it is better than eternal life, Masahiko sighed, and said to himself in his heart, "Why didn't I borrow another two hundred years in the first place, and still be closer to normal people." ”

Masahiko sighed, waved his hand, and returned to the whirlpool station by himself, and simply packed his luggage, in fact, he brought some money and a few important seal scrolls, and did not say goodbye to more people, and walked straight out of Konoha.

More than ten miles away from Konoha, Masahiko took a deep breath and shouted: "The world is so big, I want to go and see it!" ”

"Well, the Hokage world doesn't seem to be big, I'm afraid it won't take long to fly around, right?"

A drop of water fell on Masahiko's face, and Masahiko looked up, and it was raining......

"Look at the yarn, let's find a place to hide from the rain...... At the beginning of my trip, it was a bit unsmooth......"
