When Hanyu, who was seriously injured and dying, woke up again, the feeling of breathing freely made him reaffirm a very simple truth - being alive is a beautiful thing.

If you think about it this way, the big battle between the various ninja villages and each other is not such an unacceptable thing, everyone wants to live, but the road is narrow, so I have to live, even if I kill you.

What kind of changes have taken place in the village and even the world over the past few years, Hanyu doesn't want to know for the time being, and the only thing he has to do now is to recover his physical condition as much as possible...... At the very least, it is necessary to regain simple mobility, rather than being bedridden all the time.

Therefore, since he woke up, he has been eating and sleeping whenever he can, and fully following the doctor's instructions.

He even has a special sick number nutritious meal, which is completely a big supplement. The food was brought to him by Tsunade every time, and the kid would stay with Hanyu for quite some time every day, and even had a little bit of a full-time doctor's feeling.

And for Hanyu, whether Tsunade meant to use him as an experiment or not, these nutritious meals were indeed very nutritious, and he could feel that his physical condition was improving, and more importantly, these things tasted good.

Hanyu is known to have a little bit of a taste at times, but if he thinks it's good...... It's really good.

Five days after he first regained consciousness, Hanyu was stuffing spoonfuls of nutritious meals into his mouth while Tsunade sat on a chair next to his hospital bed supervising him...... Hey, the nutritious meal is obviously delicious, but why supervise?

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and after receiving permission, the outside walked in.

It's Senchiwa.

After making sure that Hanyu had regained consciousness and that there was nothing wrong with his brain, he was finally allowed to visit him, and until then he had been in the hospital in a closed place and had no contact with the outside world.

"Hanyu, you...... I heard you've recovered, but ...... Is it really okay? When Chisenwa entered the ward, she was carrying a long box in her hand, and when she looked at the energetic Hanyu, she was shocked before she could smile.

Hanyu doesn't seem to have a big problem, but he's shrunk a few laps throughout, and that's the biggest problem.

Except for the witnesses and doctors, the sudden shrinkage of one person is a very mysterious thing for everyone else.

"It's no problem, it's just a second chance to develop, and life starts over...... It should be thankful. Hanyu said that this is a joy in the midst of suffering, but there is no need to tell others about the difficulties he has experienced.

"If that's the case, then ...... That's it. ”

What Hanyu was going through, people other than him could only guess, but Chichiwa knew that since his current attitude was like this, at least what he was bearing was still above his bottom limit.

Chichiwa placed the box next to Hanyu's bed, and then sat on the chair on this side, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't speak, so there was a strange silence in the ward for a while.

Tsunade was holding a medical book in her hand that no one else could read, but only she knew about it, and at this time a pair of eyes that she was hiding behind the book were wandering around.

There are melons to eat melons, but there are no melons...... There will always be melons.

Eventually, Chichiwa spoke, "Hanyu, you asked me why I became a ninja before. ”

"Well, there's such a thing."

It's just a hundred chapters ago, and of course Hanyu still remembers.

"Hanyu, do you have anything you like or hate?" Qianqianhe said again.

The topic is a little out of place, and it can be seen that Qianqianhe's state is a little nervous now, and even collapsed, and there is something apologetic in her tone, so it is not very easy to speak.

"Loved it...... The definition of the word is somewhat ambiguous, all the words that I don't quite like to say, but hate...... I can even say hate, there are a few things I hate deeply. ”

I don't know what she wants to say, but all Hanyu can do now is continue the topic of Chichiwa.

"Hate? Hate what? ”

"One hates Baidu, two hates trolls, and three hates wisdom teeth."

“……”

The topic is even more incompatible.

After thinking about it, Chichiwa continued, "The reason why I became a ninja, now that I think about it, it is just because I don't trust everything around me, I think that a person still has to rely on himself to protect after all, but as a ninja, I ...... No love, no tears, no hate, muddy. ”

This kind of thought and experience is really all too common.

"I understand." So Hanyu said.

"But now, I suddenly realize that I don't need to do that.

I've seen the most tragic battlefields, I've seen the most decisive battles, blood is as glaring as snow, but after all, only the former is the more passionate thing, I ...... A ninja who understands that the most ninja-like will only be a ninja like a hero.

On that battlefield, I was powerless as I was small, so I finally realized that I couldn't protect myself, but this wasn't a bad thing, because someone could protect me.

I consider myself a lucky person.

Hanyu, I don't think I'll ever see a stronger ninja than you were that day.

I seem to understand something about the fact that just one person can separate sin from punishment and preserve life and beauty.

I...... There is no reason to fight anymore.

Hanyu, I have no reason to continue being a ninja. ”

Chichiwa's words were fragmentary, and the praise for Hanyu was a bit excessive, but Hanyu still understood the parts of her heart that could only be understood and not spoken.

The battle that day was bad, but Chichiwa was a person who dared to kill herself decisively in order not to drag her teammates back, so she couldn't say what she was afraid of, but she still understood what she wanted.

It's not a battlefield.

It can only be said that this is a kind of open-mindedness and trade-off after the sea was difficult to make water.

The reason why she didn't express herself well was just that Hanyu was afraid that Hanyu would think she was running away, but ...... Despite all his problems, Hanyu has never been a narrow-minded person.

"Qianqianhe, it is also a kind of courage to cut off the past, and it is even more courage to step in a new direction, so you don't have to bow your head, this is a good thing...... Your decision is a good thing. Hanyu was silent for a moment before saying.

Ninjas kill all the time, but ninja killing is a meaningless thing, and if you can get out of it, of course it's a good thing. Chichiwa is not Hanyu, she is not the kind of person who "I have to live, even if I kill you".

The only thing this girl didn't understand was that if she hadn't stayed by Hanyu's side, she wouldn't have experienced so much.

Hanyu's words now were especially important to Chichiwa, and she kept her head down, silently and effortlessly trying to calm her emotions, and then, she finally raised her head.

She lifted the sword case and opened it, revealing the two swords inside.

This is Hanyu's captured "trophy", but now the decoration of the two swords has completely changed, the black lacquered scabbard, and the replaced hardwood hilt make the two blades look unusually low-key, which is ...... The style that Hanyu likes.

"It's a little bit of a small thing I can do, it's just a little thought, Hanyu, you can give them a new name...... You like to do things like that, don't you? ”

Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "This is a weapon that Yun Yin recast from the fragments of the Seven Star Sword, so ...... Let's just 'Star Crown' and 'Star Otome'. ”

Chichiwa put the sword case aside, she stood up, and even hugged Hanyu gently, "I like these two names...... Of all your names, my two favorites. ”

It was a disguised criticism, but Hanyu didn't hear it.

"Then I have one last piece of advice, Qianqianhe, even when this kind of injury parting, I now have another feeling, called ...... Quite soft, so you have to note that at least half of humanity in this world is not a good thing. ”

Hanyu has always been quick to do what he says, but he is an honest man.

Chichiwa finally laughed, and it was the most beautiful laugh Hanyu had ever seen.

Is this because Hanyu got a laugh?

Probably not, that's a little hard, too hard.

…………

After Chisenwa left, the ward fell silent again.

I don't know how long it took, but Tsunade finally put down the book in her hand, and she whispered, "I thought there would be a confession, Hanyu...... Have you been dumped? ”

Hanyu looked at the sword in his hand, and said, "Isn't this a confession, Tsunade, you're a little narrow-minded." ”

A gray person finally found her own color, and then became extremely vivid, isn't it her best confession to her life?

Tsunade pouted, but still couldn't hold back and said, "Star crown, star crown I can understand, but what is the matter with star otome." ”

Her eyes, following Hanyu's line of sight, were fixed on the two swords.

"It's for commemoration, you're a child, so it's okay if you don't understand."

Hoshiotome, a girl under the stars, who is this commemorating?

Tsunade said I didn't understand something.

"Anyway...... Can a ninja retire early? After a moment, Hanyu suddenly remembered what had happened.

"Hanyu, the war is over, and ...... Even the Hokage couldn't stop a man who had lost his will to fight from leaving the battlefield. ”

“…… That's right, too. ”

In the past, Tsunade should have left Hanyu, but today she decided to stay here for a while.

Otherwise, a lonely old man will look even more pitiful.
