"Hanyu-sama, it's been a long time since I saw you, but you're still the same...... It doesn't look like much has changed. ”

Uzumaki Ziko's upper body was slightly upturned as she was half-reclined on the bed, so when Hanyu walked into the room with her daughter, she quickly noticed them.

Zikou's eyes are good, and her mental state looks ...... It's not good, but it's at least better than Hanyu expected.

However, no matter how "it looks", the severity of the situation is irreversible.

"Zikou, so are you." Hanyu said.

These words made Uzumaki Zikou shake her head and smile, her current physical state was extremely clear to herself.

Hanyu's appearance doesn't look much different from when he left Konoha, except that he dyed his hair white, so if it was Orochimaru, he would definitely wonder what Hanyu had done in the years since he left Konoha, but Ziko was different, she just felt that Hanyu-sama was still Hanyu-sama, just like the person who stayed in her memory.

It made her happy and sad.

But what about the Asterome itself? If she could, she would never want to see Hanyu in such a state, but the cruelty of reality is that it is probably only after this step that Hanyu will honestly appear in Konoha after this step.

It is also true that what prompted Hanyu to return to Konoha was not at all the crisis caused by the Uchiha's civil strife, but also the dying of Uzumaki Akoko.

Yayoi Uzumaki gave up his place, and Hanyu walked over and sat down on the chair next to the bed. Then he beckoned to his daughter and let her come too.

"I have never lied to you, saying that you went out of the village to find a 'folk remedy', that must be the purpose, and the existence of this child is proof."

Hanyu Ni came to Ziko's side, then bowed slightly to her.

"This kid ...... What is your name. Zikou asked.

At this time, Hanyu turned his attention to Hanyu...... Although Hanyu was very successful in her education, she was only thirteen years old and had never experienced the life and death of a ninja.

So she is still ignorant of this aspect of things.

"It's called Hanyu." Hanyu said.

"With Hanyu-sama's naming ability, it's rare for a child's name to be so concise and clear, and it's ...... It's a fitting name. ”

It's rare that Hanyu's naming ability has been praised. It's very gratifying that he didn't cheat his daughter.

As the word suggests, neon is the "child of rain", and "rain" and "neon" are climatic phenomena that are closely related, so the name "Hanyu Ni" is indeed appropriate.

Considering that the person who came up with the name was Hanyu, it was a rare occurrence.

Zikou seemed to want to reach out and touch Hanyu's head, but considering her current state, she cringed a little...... As a dying person, she didn't want to be rejected by Hanyu's daughter.

Hanyu noticed this, so he put it next to the bed, and then took the initiative to lower his head.

"Good boy ......"

Thus was able to stretch out her somewhat dry hand.

Hanyu's child is indeed a good child, and even makes people sigh every time that it is really a pity for Hanyu to give such a daughter.

"Zikou, I remember we were the same age, and you seemed to be only a little older than me...... If you think about it this way, it's my fault.

As a ninja, I don't know how much blood I have on my hands, but there is a reason for the killings, after all, this is a ninja.

I'm kind of a person who respects life, murder or murder, I've never done anything like that, it's just ...... What happened to you now can be said to have been harmed by me.

It's just that now, guilt or apologies don't help. ”

Fortunately, Orochimaru was not at the scene, so that Hanyu's first half of his sentence would not be exposed.

In Zikou's current situation, "accumulation of labor" is the most important reason, and it is none other than Hanyu who has made her rise to a high position and create this situation.

Hanyu and Zikou are both people who are in their sixties, but Hanyu is "alive and kicking", and Zikou has come to the end of his life...... Although such an age seems to be considered a "high life" for a ninja.

However, this is not what should happen to Zikou.

"Hanyu-sama, please don't say that, the crime and punishment of a person's life should not be counted like this.

Happiness or pain, emptiness or fulfillment, I have never suffered indifference in my life, but everything is sincere...... For Uzumaki, for Mito-sama, for Hanyu-sama, I helped. As a result, my life was very meaningful.

It's just that after getting this far, as a human being, I ...... After all, I still don't want to die. ”

Hanyu and Ziko, Yayoi and Xiaoni, there were only these four people in the room.

After Zikou's words, the scene fell silent for a while.

After a while, Hanyu spoke:

"Some people will express their feelings, some people will suppress their feelings, but whether they choose to respond or choose to refuse, after all, they have to give an explanation, and people who bear the feelings of others but deliberately pretend to be ignorant are probably not worthy of being born......"

This is very suspicious of scolding yourself.

"Zikou, have I given you a 'scientific worldview'?"

Without waiting for Zikou's answer, Hanyu continued, "There are only two things that make up the world, the entire universe, energy and information, or in layman's terms, matter and consciousness.

The huge universe is also composed of small particles, from birth, combined development, inorganic to life, from creation to destruction, the universe is also constantly circulating.

But if the energy of the universe is regarded as constant, then the countless times of destruction and enlightenment will naturally brew countless possibilities, which are very large, but it is finite after all, and can be expressed mathematically.

So there will always be a time when the 'finite possibilities' will come to an end and start repeating.

That means that in the distant future, on the endless timeline, there will be another you, there will be another me, and there will be another reunion.

Maybe it's our first encounter, but maybe it's just a repetition that you and I don't know.

Maybe it's the first time I've said something like this to you, but maybe it's just another retelling.

So it's far from the end of the conversation...... As long as time remains, the future is just ahead. ”

“……”

"Hanyu-sama, you're really ...... It's too good at lying.

So now I don't know if I should look forward to it or if I should look back on it.

But......

Thank you, Hanyu-sama.

I'm satisfied. ”
