Hanyu returned to Konoha and saw Mishino for the last time.

In that small secluded courtyard, she was still sitting on that chair basking in the sun as she had been last time.

Sanxiao was wearing layers of thick clothes, and almost only her face was exposed, and the smile on her face was the same as always.

She seemed to be in good spirits, and her bulging belly indicated that she was giving birth to a new life.

But at this time, Hanyu felt that he had no way to take the initiative to break the silence in front of him no matter what.

So it was Mishino who spoke first, "Hanyu...... Do you know what my name is? ”

"Name?"

Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Mishino would be called Mishino, it was just a code name, and her last name was Senju, of course, but her name, Hanyu, had never been heard by anyone.

"yes, of course you wouldn't know, because I never told you.

Misaki, my name is Senju Misaki...... But now there are no thousand hands, so only Misaki remains.

'Mo Shang Blossom', that is, 'Saki', Mi Saki means 'Mo Shang Blossom, the future can be expected', this is the name that the first Hokage set for me before I was born, how about it, can you experience a father's gentle expectations for his daughter?

Father...... It's really a lush forest, he is the greatest ninja ever, he pacified the troubled times and established Konoha, so as a Konoha person, I don't need to be very strong, I just need to be a flower under the protection of the forest and show my most beautiful color at the right time...... But who would have thought that I wouldn't even be able to do this.

My innate frailty is an unsolvable problem. ”

As the daughter of the Thousand Hands Pillar, Mishino's combat power is 100 or 1000, in fact, it doesn't matter to the original Hokage, after all, no matter how strong she is, she can't be stronger than her father, but Mishino's problem is that her combat power is zero.

The daughter of the god of ninjas, not even a ninja, this is a difficult thing to accept anyway, and it may have taken a long time for Mishino to accept that this is a fact, so that she can adapt to the gaze of others looking at her.

"Hanyu, as you can see, I have been like this from birth to death, inheriting the blood of my ancestors, but not his power. My name reflects another meaning of these two words, which is diametrically opposed to my father's expectations...... Misaaki, that is, 'never blossomed', is the most appropriate explanation for me. ”

Hanyu was just listening quietly to Mishino's story, but he couldn't comfort her with anything - frivolous comfort was just an irresponsible understanding of the other person's experience, but Mishino didn't need those things.

"One of the most important decisions and one of the most important things I have made in my life is to hide the Thousand Hands Clan, it can be said that I am the one who destroyed the Thousand Hands with my own hands, but it is also me who allows the Thousand Hands to continue forever.

Therefore, the loss of the name of the Thousand Hands is a deplorable thing, but it is not something I regret...... I can say the same even to my father.

But even if I can recognize this sensibly, it is emotionally difficult to forgive what I did.

For the first and second generations, the great cause of their lives is not to carry forward the Thousand Hands Clan, but to form the village under our feet...... The Thousand Hands are gone, but Konoha will continue.

A person's 'existence', including his own life, as well as the memories of others who go back three generations and three generations below, are only a hundred years in total, but the works of the first and second generations will always exist.

Anyway, I was a great admirer of my father. ”

Hanyu felt that anyone who had such a father would be extremely adored and proud of him.

"The original Hokage was the sun, and I'm not even a candle."

From the standpoint of 'ninja', Mishino's analogy is by no means an exaggeration.

"Whatever the reason, the loss of the name of a thousand hands is a kind of destruction, and the state of mind I have suffered for it is indescribable...... But what a miserable life a person is if he only destroys and does not create, so before I die, I have to accomplish another thing. ”

"Wars, the death of loved ones, the birth of children, the time of my life is actually limited, but because I have experienced so much, it seems long enough.

Father and mother have given me spirit and body, the prestige of the thousand hands of the forest makes me proud and self-reliant, my husband is my soul mate, and my children are my flesh and blood, as for you...... I may be a little arrogant when I say that, but if there's one thing I can call a 'work' in this life, it's you, Hanyu.

The Konoha of the ancestors is Konoha, and my Konoha is you, Hanyu. ”

This is something that Mishino decided not long after meeting Hanyu.

As she said herself, she is not a ninja like the first and second generations, so naturally she does not have the ability to create a ninja village like Konoha, but no one wants her life to end in such nothingness. As a result, Sanshino created a small "village" with only one person.

Speaking of this, Mishino's eyes looking at Hanyu seemed to be extremely natural and calm, and as if they were extremely hot, and for a moment, Hanyu felt that his whole person was immersed in it, and even his breathing stopped.

It's a statement he never thought of, and it's suffocating in itself.

Sanshino's thoughts, like a burning star, pressed down on him, trying to melt him completely, and on the other hand, the tremendous pressure was about to crush his entire body into the ground.

One person couldn't bear the weight of another person's life, but she let Hanyu accept it stiffly.

A long time ago, Mishino had been incredibly kind to Hanyu, but no matter how much kindness there was, it was far less powerful than just a few words to him...... At this moment, Hanyu didn't even know what to say except for suffocation.

"Teacher Mishino...... It's a little too capricious. ”

"Because I know that the last willfulness of my life will be forgiven no matter what."

Yes, she was always forgiven.

Hanyu thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said, "Mr. Mishino, I have always been a person who is quick to do what he says, but you should be able to understand that I am also a person with my own ideas, which I may not be able to describe accurately, but they are deeply rooted......

I'm just an outsider from Konoha, and even if Mishino-sensei has different expectations for me, the future has changed too much, and maybe I'll destroy this village. ”

Hanyu's words sounded a bit arrogant at first, but Mishino could understand what he was talking about, so she said, "According to you, one day in the future, Sarufei may destroy Konoha too......

Hanyu, have a little more confidence in yourself, who can say what the future holds.

Moreover, I am a person whose time is only stuck in the present, the future...... It's too far away.

Also, if one day you decide to destroy this village, it means that this village no longer has any value in your judgment, then maybe it really should be destroyed.

And if you really destroy what should be destroyed, doesn't that mean that I have finally defeated my father once? Maybe I'll be happy. ”

Sanshino's latter sentence is a complete joke, not to mention the issue of ability, she doesn't think it is necessary for Hanyu to do something to destroy Konoha...... Of course, there was also a sad space for herself in her words - no matter what Hanyu was going to do in the future, she couldn't see it anymore, so why worry?

Hanyu doesn't reject Mishino's "work" just now, Mishino is the teacher who taught him ninjutsu, in fact, for Hanyu, Mishino's "work" is not so much about himself as the knife in his hand, because his thoughts are out of her control.

Mishino's knowledge became Hanyu's weapon, but this weapon would only be controlled by Hanyu himself, so Mishino's statement is not accurate.

But this kind of detail is only Hanyu himself will care about and distinguish, and for Mishino, there is no need to be so detailed.

Influencing an adult's thoughts is never easy, and Hanyu has always tried to maintain his independence of thought, but in fact, no matter how much he denies it, he is now deeply influenced by Mishino...... No matter how much he is a human being, no matter how determined he is, Hanyu is not a person who has lost his humanity after all, and as long as he has humanity, he will never be indifferent to Mishino.

In this life, Hanyu has been alone, but he has never felt lonely, but for some reason, he is now immersed in deeper sorrow step by step - if it weren't for Mishino's last words, then his emotions should not have been so deep.

"Hanyu, let's go, I'm done...... But you don't deserve to bear the cry of my death. ”

Mishino finished explaining what had happened, and then urged Hanyu to get out of here.

At this time, she couldn't suppress the tremor of her voice when she spoke, although the smile on her face had always been bright, but it was conceivable that her weak body was suffering from unbearable pain at this time.

But because she is Hanyu's teacher, the more she has to maintain her reserve and dignity as a human teacher in the end, so she doesn't want to expose her most vulnerable and helpless side to her only disciple.

Hanyu nodded and turned around, but after taking two steps forward, he turned back and said, "Mr. Mishino, I have heard that the most famous artists are often unknown during their lifetimes, and the most valuable works of the most famous artists will only be recognized after his death...... This belated recognition, does Mr. Mishino think it is a good thing or a bad thing? ”

"If you can only distinguish between good and bad, of course it's a good thing, and it's better to be later than to be ignored, Hanyu."

Mishino said very simply, Hanyu nodded in understanding, and then, he continued, "Sanshino-sensei, whether life is thirty or sixty years, compared to the endless time, it is just a short moment.

After the passage of time, it will only be longer.

So, Mr. Mishino, I hope you will be treated with tenderness for an infinite, long time in the future. ”

"Hanyu, this isn't like the words of someone who is quick to do what he says, but ...... I understand that no matter what you expect, I will do what you want from now on, and this is an unchanging agreement between us.

Even in the time you said, it won't change.

So, let's go Hanyu and rest assured. ”

Hanyu turned his head back and said no more, and then walked out of Mishino's courtyard.

Time is infinite, but should human grief last forever?

Shouldn't it go on forever?

In the nineteenth year of Konoha, the First Ninja World War was triggered by the death of the first Hokage......

It's over.
