Chapter 117: Birth, Old Age, Sickness and Death (Five Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Under the wooden bridge, next to the stream.
Three children are simply washing the dust off their faces.
Because the cave was "blasted" by Masahiko, the three of them are now dirty all over their bodies, but in this wilderness, they can only be cleaned simply.
"Well, it's almost, let's pack up and go back to Konoha and go back to clean up."
Masahiko can be described as "spotless", and he has been attacked by Kushina's white eyes one after another, and he can't stand it.
Xiao Nan hesitated, "Teacher, it seems that the number of medicinal materials we have is not enough. ”
Masahiko smiled and took out two sealing scrolls, "I don't know when you can collect them, but it's enough here." ”
Although there is only one level of medicine, it is already possible to identify these simple medicinal materials, and before you know it, you have collected medicinal materials full of two seal scrolls.
"Then let's go back, grandpa." Kushina opened her mouth and said, as the little princess of the Vortex Country, although she is not pampered, she is also a little unbearable to bear the dust on her body.
Masahiko nodded, flew up again with the three children, and headed towards Konoha, smiling and glancing at the jungle not far away on the way.
The four ninjas of the Shang Ninja Village were among them, and the four skateboards left by Masahiko and the four of them were picked up by them.
"Big brother, they left, and they didn't go back to look for the abacus."
"I saw it, I made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for nothing, you don't care if they can leave or not."
……
In the air, Masahiko snickered and touched the silver ticket in his arms, he didn't really use money to buy it, he just used a little illusion to interfere, it is estimated that tomorrow they will find that the silver ticket has turned into leaves, I don't know who to reason......
I've already traveled a journey, and it's smoother to go back. But after all, Masahiko was still carrying a "Salamander Ancestor", and his speed was a little slower.
"Teacher, is that one in your hand really a big salamander?" Xiao Nan hesitated, but still asked.
Masahiko was stunned for a moment, with some uncertainty, "It should be, it doesn't matter if it's not, change the flavor of the soldier food pills......"
It's very irresponsible, and he can't use this thing anyway.
At the entrance of Konoha Village, Masahiko did not land, carrying such a big thing in his hand, he couldn't drag it from the entrance of the village, so he simply flew directly in front of the Hokage Building, and the "long-term mission" that lasted two and a half days came to an end.
"Ri Chop, come out to receive the goods, this is a big salamander." Masahiko shouted with a smile.
Hizai walked out, his expression was more serious, and he even said solemnly, "Elder Masahiko, you're back." ”
Masahiko was stunned, "What's wrong?" The Third Ninja War has begun? ”
Hizai shook his head, "It's news from the country of the vortex, the daimyo of the country of the vortex is critically ill......"
"Who?"
"Grandfather?"
Masahiko and Kushina were surprised at the same time.
Hinata nodded with a serious face, proving that Masahiko had heard correctly.
"Grandpa......" Jiu Sinai suddenly became anxious.
Masahiko waved his hand and looked at Hizaki, "Has Nanako already gone back?" ”
"I'm back."
Masahiko nodded, took out the seal scroll from his arms, threw it over, and flew up again with the three children, heading straight for the country of the vortex.
"It's been less than a year since we last met, and Gensuke is only 65 years old, so why ...... 65 years old? In the air, Masahiko kept accelerating, and he sighed in his heart.
The three children were speechless and had no intention of speaking.
The three of them were still covered in dust now, but even Kushina had no intention of cleaning it up.
In just half an hour, he returned to the country of vortex in the continuous acceleration of Masahiko.
"Nagato, Xiaonan, you go back and clean up first, and I'll take Jiu Sinai over first."
Masahiko flew directly to the entrance of the Daimyo's palace with Kushina, ignored the guards' various greetings to him, and entered the palace directly.
"Teacher, you're back." Iko was the first to greet her.
"How's Gensuke?" Masahiko had actually sensed that his chakra was already very weak, but he still asked in disbelief.
As expected, Iko shook her head gently, and Kushina immediately rushed in.
Masahiko sighed and didn't rush in.
"What's going on?"
"Gensuke may be too tired......" Iko sighed, although she had not dealt with Gensuke all the time, but she was also a little sad at this time.
"Are you too tired......" Masahiko has never looked down on Gensuke, he is ambitious, but he doesn't have the mind to match, and he doesn't have the tenacity that a ninja should have.
But for so many years, Masahiko has mostly been a hands-off shopkeeper, and the steady development of the country of vortex is really thanks to him.
"How's Nanako's mood?"
"I'm fine, teacher."
As soon as Masahiko asked, Nanako walked out of it, and she didn't have the grief she imagined.
"...... you" Masahiko hesitated, the words of comfort could not be spoken, he really didn't know how to comfort, did he want to say "birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature"?
"It's okay, teacher, I've been prepared for this day." Nanako shook her head.
"Before I went to Konoha, I found that his health was not very good, and I advised him to take a break, but he didn't agree, and I knew there would be such a day at that time, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."
"Is that so?" Masahiko nodded, "Let's go in." ”
I haven't seen Gensuke for just a year, and he's like a different person, he doesn't look old, and he's on the verge of dying.
Inside the house, Gensuke and Nanako's son and daughter-in-law were standing aside, and Kushina was sobbing quietly.
Gensuke also saw Masahiko, and a smile actually appeared on the old man's face and nodded to him.
Masahiko was slightly silent, but also smiled at him, and Gen closed his eyes with relief.
The others quickly surrounded him, and Masahiko shook his head helplessly, "It wasn't until he died that he was recognized by me, what is there to be happy about." ”
Masahiko didn't know how many times this was a white-haired person...... The black-haired man sent the white-haired man, but he was still a little depressed in his heart.
"Teacher, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, you don't have to be too sad." Masahiko never expected that at this time, it would be Nanako who was comforting him, and it was completely reversed.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death......" Masahiko nodded and walked out.
He knew in his heart that Nanako was not comforting him now, but she knew that the day when she and Itoko Izumi would grow old would not be far away, maybe five years? Decade? At that time, Masahiko may have to send them away one by one.
"It's not good to live too long." Masahiko sighed with emotion, he has sent away too many juniors, if it weren't for his natural optimism, and there are "acquaintances" born one after another, maybe he would have lived enough......
