"You know me?" While Senju said his name, he also noticed the change in Hanyu's expression, and the latter was stunned and surprised when he introduced himself, but there was a slight feeling of "it was so" hidden in this emotion.
"Ah...... As long as you have paid a little attention to the Great War, you will naturally know the name of the Hokage of the Fire Country, and for those of us who are ordinary, you are one of the main culprits responsible for our disparity between life and death. Hanyu immediately restrained his expression, and although the memories that had been sealed in his mind for years were constantly churning, he must not be too obvious...... He was even giving a plausible explanation for his momentary emotional anomaly.
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the middle of his forehead, indicating that there was a ninja symbol in the other person's place. Although ninja is a mysterious profession, it is by no means impossible for the average person to recognize the emblem on the forehead guard...... It belongs to a ninja village called "Konoha".
Fire Country, Konoha Hidden Village, the second generation of Hokage, after the other party said his name, it is a "reasonable" thing for a civilian like Hanyu to describe his identity more accurately......
Although for Hanyu, if it weren't for the fact that the other party's face was half blood and half sludge, he should have recognized the other party, but this kind of thing must not be revealed.
"Big man......" Hanyu could only pretend to sigh like this, in his mind, against his own memory, the course of the events in front of him had been outlined in more detail - the person in front of him who was about to die was the second generation of Hokage, and the two people who died just now should be the golden horn and silver horn of Yunyin.
"War?" Under normal circumstances, Hanyu's almost accusatory words would have led the other party to say something like "war is never a one-sided affair, and no one wants to start a war", but at this time, there was no need to say this again...... Although Konoha is indeed the invading side in the current war, and their war should be described as a defensive counterattack, but is it really necessary for a homeless child to care?
Even Senju thinks he is the "culprit" of what Hanyu said.
"How old are you?" Senju asked Hanyu, I don't know if it was the return of the light from the oil lamp, he became a little more energetic at this time.
"13 years old? It should be about the same, I don't remember exactly...... Any questions? Hanyu subconsciously replied to the other party's words.
"No, I just don't think you behave like a kid of your age, but...... There's nothing wrong with that. ”
Whether it's his clear words, calm attitude, or logical behavior, Hanyu's performance really doesn't look like what it should be for his age...... The most obvious characteristic of a child is his emotional words and actions, which are completely invisible to him.
A child of this age, if he wasn't a ninja, wouldn't be scared and yelling at a dying person like Senju, how could he communicate calmly.
The second Hokage wondered about Hanyu's "early wisdom", but this was actually not worthy of praise, boasting, or even special mention, after all, Hanyu didn't look very old, but this was already his second life.
Unfortunately, he seems to have been born into a troubled world. The only thing that can be used to support it is that if he digs through his memories, Hanyu will be able to find some information about this troubled world, or the "ninja world".
"The more people have experienced, the more mature they will naturally be." Hanyu said ambiguously, at this point he had straightened out the memories in his mind and focused more on the matter in front of him.
One is one of the five shadows that is enough to shake the world, and the other is just a "wanderer", the difference in status between the two sides is not small, but the difference in status is even greater than that one of them is already a dying person, and the other has just started his own life.
"Can you do me a favor?" For the current Thousand Hands Room, there is no time and no need to dwell on some inconsequential issues, "Please deal with my body later, people like me have too many secrets and information on them, so it is necessary to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy, the best way is to burn me clean with a fire, and completely erase my existence." ”
"Can't you do anything about this kind of major aftermath?" Hanyu didn't expect that the other party would make such a request.
"Originally, I had the strength and means to do so, but after dealing with your injuries, I have no way to take care of myself...... As you can see, I can't even stand up now; Besides, it would be too impersonal to ask a person to erase his own body. "At a time like this, it's rare for a thousand hands to show their black humor.
Yes, black humor...... It is common for ninjas who want to protect secrets to dispose of their own bodies at the same time when they commit suicide.
Without giving Hanyu a chance to refuse, Senju continued, "From the conversation just now, I can tell that you are a person who longs for a peaceful life, and there is no safer place in the current world than the ninja village, so if you bring the news about me back to Konoha Village, they will take you in." ”
Naturally, the ninja's village is relatively stable, but ......, "Will the ninja's village be settled by ordinary outsiders casually, not to mention that it is still a time ......of war?"
Hanyu was moved, but even more confused.
"Konoha will take you in, as long as you are not a spy from other villages, give this to them, and everything will be fine." Senju said firmly, and at the same time put a piece of paper on his knee.
Of course, Hanyu couldn't be a spy, but he didn't understand why the other party trusted him as a stranger, knowing that the person in front of him was the second Hokage, so he couldn't help but ask, "If you are really a big man in the Konoha Ninja Village, won't you get a lot of benefits from handing you over to other villages?" ”
"No, you won't."
"Why do you say that?"
"It's closer to the borders of the Fire Nation, and much closer than other countries."
"Got it......"
Even if it's just for safety reasons, Hanyu doesn't go far and no further.
"Then everything for me is arranged." Thousands of hands sighed, not knowing whether he was regretful or gratified, and after saying this, he never spoke again.
Hanyu just sat there quietly, he didn't think about the Hokage for the time being, he was just trying to suppress his pain and slowly regain his strength.
"Hey."
After about two hours, he tried to call the other person.
There was no reply, and there was no sound in the hollow of the tree.
So Hanyu knew it was time for him to get to work.
He reluctantly stood up, walked over to the other party, and first picked up the piece of paper, and found that there was a code written on it that he couldn't read. He didn't care about the content, and Hanyu carefully placed it in his arms.
Then he reached out and probed the snort between his thousand hands, and found that he was indeed not breathing.
With Hanyu's injury, it is generally impossible to regain mobility so quickly, and he is currently able to walk freely, so it is conceivable that the person in front of him has indeed treated him in some way.
The hollow was covered with fallen leaves and tiny pieces of dry firewood, and instead of moving the other's body, Hanyu piled them all around him, and then he turned and walked out of the hole, looking for the damp but still burning firewood in the drizzle. It took him more than half a day to go back and forth, and he finally piled up combustibles in most of the tree holes.
It was not enough to make a fire for someone like Hanyu who was accustomed to wandering, but before lighting the flame, he was silent for a moment, and then walked to the Thousand Hands again, and then he reached out and took off the other's forehead.
Then, he finally lit the flames, and after confirming that the fire was up, he quickly pulled out of the hollow.
The smoke spread rapidly, and the chill of the autumn rain was dispelled under the scorching flames, but after all, it was rain, and the fuel was only wood, so Hanyu was still skeptical that such a fire could meet the other party's demand of "completely burning himself to ashes".
It was only in the next moment that his worry vanished, for with a few pops from the flames, the fire rose as if a large tank of gasoline had been thrown into it, and in a few moments it burned along with the tree.
I think it was the flames that burned something that the ninja was carrying, and then caused a chain reaction.
In order not to get caught up in the flames, Hanyu had to retreat again.
