Chapter 16: Worship

The sky was overcast, and the big dark clouds pressed the sky very low, like a broken wall about to collapse.

Kurayoshi walked calmly on the street, surrounded by many villagers who were also dressed in black and walking in the same direction.

Everyone did not speak, but walked forward in silence, the light in the depths of their eyes dimmed, full of sorrow.

Call......

The autumn breeze blows, and the fallen leaves wither.

The sky above Konoha is shrouded in sadness.

Kurayoshi didn't go directly to the memorial monument, but stopped at a flower shop on the way.

To commemorate the deceased parents, it is natural to have flowers.

He paused in the doorway for a moment, then stepped inside.

The fragrance of all kinds of flowers is blowing in the face, and the store is filled with a variety of flowers in an orderly manner.

"Welcome."

A nice female voice sounded inside.

Kurayoshi heard the sound and saw that there was a little Lori standing at the counter.

The age is similar to himself.,Short blond hair.,Purple-based clothes.,Big eyes and watery eyes.,It's very cute.。

At the first sight of this man, he recognized it.

Yamanaka Ino, a member of the new generation of Pig Deer Butterfly.

"Excuse me...... Want to buy flowers? Ino looked at the boy in front of him who was wearing a black yukata with a clean and delicate face, and felt a little nymphomaniac.

This man is so good-looking.

"I want a bouquet of carnations." Kurayoshi said indifferently.

Hearing Kurayoshi's request, Ino was stunned, and then reacted.

"Okay, please wait."

48 years after Konoha, many people come to buy flowers every year on this day, so prepare in advance.

Ino trotted into the back room and brought a bouquet of carnations and handed it to Kurayoshi.

"Thank you."

Kurayoshi handed over the money to Ino, then turned around and walked in the direction of the memorial monument.

Sure enough, it's a worship!

Ino looked in the direction Kurayoshi was leaving, and there was an expression on his face that was indeed the same.

Carnation's words were mourning and longing, and with that black yukata and silent expression, she naturally guessed.

It's justβ€”

Is he the only one?

Did his parents die?

I'm about the same size, but I have to face everything alone.

However, he is so good-looking, I don't know his name yet!

For a while, Ino was full of thoughts.

……

Konoha Forest, deep.

There is a huge stone tablet with the names of the deceased written on it.

This is a memorial monument on which the names of all the heroes who died for Konoha are inscribed.

The memorial monument is not complete.

First Shinobi War, Second Ninja War, Third Ninja War, Nine-Tails Rebellion, and various crisis missions......

There are too many ninjas in Konoha who have died in obscurity, and until now no body or name can be found.

There are many flowers around the stele, and they are all worshiped by other villagers.

When Kurayoshi arrived with a carnation in his hand, there was already a person standing in front of the stele.

Also wearing a black yukata, silver hair, a face mask on his face, and bangs hanging down in front of him to cover his left eye.

Kakashi Hachiki ......

Kurayoshi silently recited the man's name in his heart.

He came to worship his parents every year today, and every time he met Kakashi who came first, he was not surprised at all to meet Kakashi here today.

Coming to Kakashi's side, he quietly placed the flower on the ground in front of the monument.

Quietly, staring at the names of his parents on the memorial monument.

His body trembled slightly.

Born into this world, Kurayoshi was very resistant to his new parents at first, after all, he already had parents in his previous life.

But in the following month, his parents worked tirelessly and took care of him, so he felt the love of the two for him.

Especially on the day of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, in order to protect themselves, the two used their bodies as bait to lure the Nine-Tails away, but they were swept away by a tail and the entire street before they could run a few steps.

Although they had only been together for a month, Kurayoshi loved his parents very much, even if they never said a word.

"There are too many unfortunate people in this world." Kakashi said suddenly.

His exposed pupils looked at the stele quietly, and there was sadness hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"Ah, there are so many unfortunate people in this world." Kurayoshi looked at the name on the stone tablet, and his hands couldn't help but clench, "So I want to be the strongest, and I want to let myself and the people around me not become the unfortunate ones." ”

Kakashi glanced at Kurayoshi flatly, didn't linger too long, and turned to leave.

Kurayoshi ignored it, and just stood quietly in front of the stone monument.

Recalling the bits and pieces of that month, I also had it in my previous life, but I never noticed it, and it was a trivial little thing in my daily life......

Looking back now, it can make him feel a faint warmth.

Before you know it, time passes.

By the time Kurayoshi came to his senses, it was already dark.

He looked at the moon peeking out of the clouds, and his hands clenched again.

In this life, I must have no regrets in my life.

……

Tonight is the full moon, and the silver light sprinkles the land, adding a mysterious cloak to Konoha.

Kurayoshi sat at his desk, his left knee resting on the table, his palms propped up his cheeks, and his eyes stared at the moon in a daze.

He couldn't sleep.

Today, he went to worship his parents, so that he always reminisced about the past.

Not just this world, but also past lives......

At that time, he was still an ordinary teenager, always accompanied by friends and relatives, and now he ......

Although Naruto is regarded as a friend, the difference in mental age and thinking makes them have no common topic.

He didn't want to go to Naruto, and he always hid in the remote training ground to practice alone.

It's just that......

The heart is always empty.

"I still can't stand the loneliness!" Kurayoshi sighed and sighed.

He is not a withdrawn person, but he knows that the turmoil that will come will make him have to carry the weight forward.

Because it's a cruel world.

Without strength, there can be no happiness.

However, such a lonely day will not be too long, with a god-level forging system, it will not be long before he has the power to control his own destiny.

When you pour it, you don't have to be so lonely and practice every day.

"Come on, Kurayoshi."

Kurayoshi clenched his right hand into a fist to cheer himself up.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the clouds on the horizon fluttered to block the moon.

It was dark.

Outside the window, a person suddenly appeared on the opposite telephone pole.

He squatted on a telephone pole, his blood-red eyes staring at it quietly, three black magatama slowly spinning in his eyes.

Well?

Kurayoshi felt the gaze falling on him and looked up sharply.

It was empty, only the wind was blowing.

"Delusion?"

Kurayoshi was a little puzzled, and was about to take out the book of omniscience to look at it.

Suddenly, he felt a change in the air flow in the room, as if there was one more person.

The action stopped suddenly.

Kurayoshi turned around suddenly, wiped his right hand into the ninja bag on his waist, hooked a kunai with his middle finger, took advantage of the momentum to spin, clenched, and then threw it.

Boom!

Kunai wiped the man's ear and nailed it to the wall beside him.

"Who are you!?"

Kurayoshi looked up and down at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in the house, his eyes full of vigilance.
