Chapter 126: Confession
"I heard that Fog Hidden has begun to retire?"
Sarutobi said as he smoked a cigarette, a hint of relief appeared on his already wrinkled face.
"Yes."
Hamura said a little absent-mindedly: "If it's okay, I'll go first." ”
When Hamura opened the door, there was a hesitant voice behind him, "I think you've heard about it, right?" There are some contradictions between the village and your family......"
Hamura nodded slightly, "I've heard a little." ”
Sarutobi took a puff of his cigarette and thought for a moment before he said, "Actually, Uchiha is also a part of Konoha, and if I can, I want to fix the conflict between the village and the Uchiha." ”
"Three generations of adults、、"
Hamura looked at him, "What Uchiha needs is the position of the Hokage, and you must know this better than me.
What you can't do is what you can't do, even if you don't want the village to have a civil war and compromise, can you convince the high-ups of Konoha?
If you want to test my meaning, I can only tell you that I don't want to get involved in the conflict between the village and the Uchiha. ”
After saying that, Hamura took the door and left.
"Don't want to participate?"
Sarutobi got up and looked at the sunset outside the window, "Well, this should be the best result, and when this war is over, let Mizuto inherit the position of the fourth Hokage." ”
Hamura absentmindedly walked down the streets of Konoha in the twilight of dusk.
When a breeze blew, a voice followed.
"Ah, isn't this Hamura? I heard that you went to the battlefield, and it's great to be able to return safely. ”
Hamura looked up and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The first thing that catches my eye is the sign of Nohara's shop, and when I look at it slightly, I see Nohara Keiko cleaning up the tables and chairs in front of the shop.
"Did you come here unconsciously......
Hamura's mood was even more complicated, and he replied: "Yes, it's great to be able to return safely......"
Keiko Nohara was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Don't stand outside, hurry up and come in and sit, have you had dinner?" If you haven't already, eat here today. ”
Hamura hesitated, but then sighed lightly, nodded, and walked to the store, "Excuse me." ”
"Nothing."
Keiko Nohara smiled and said, "I just hope that Kushina and Mikoto don't complain about me." ”
"How so?"
Hamura sat in his usual position and shook his head.
"Yes, they're all very good girls."
Keiko Nohara smiled, "I'll go cook dinner for you right now, how about making your favorite fried noodles with cod fillet?" ”
"Oh, good."
Hamura nodded.
"Nahamura, wait a minute."
Keiko Nohara smiled and turned into the kitchen, and there was a stir-frying sound.
Hamura quietly pleaded his chin and watched the scenery outside the window as it gradually darkened.
Lynn died, and there was no doubt about it, he could have avoided it all.
Although the original work also developed in this way, when Hamura read the original book, he had no emotional bond with Nohara Rin, although it would feel a pity, but it was just a pity.
There are no feelings for sustenance, but there are two concepts.
To take an inappropriate example, a person can ignore the death of a loved one of others, but when one's own loved one dies, it is natural to be sad and sad.
And the situation in Hamura is even worse, Rin's death is directly related to him, he wants to stop it, just nod, but in the end he chose a plan.
Although it was easy for him to resurrect a dead life, the damage to his soul was irreparable unless Lynn's memories were modified.
And the feeling of personally agreeing to hurt Lin also made him depressed.
And now it's even more troublesome how to tell Keiko Nohara about this.
Her husband died in the last war, and only Lin was left with her relatives, and now that Lin has also had an accident, she doesn't know how sad she will be when she learns the news!
But Hamura had to tell her that it was his responsibility.
Now that the facts have been decided, although he has a heavy heart, he has not had the thought of regretting it. But it was decided that in the future, the mother and daughter would make up for it no matter what.
After a while, Keiko Nohara brought the food to the table.
Although the cuisine is simple, it is fried noodles and cod flakes, with a stack of miso soup, but it is more suitable for the appetite of Hamura, and Keiko Nohara has been cooking for Hamura for a while, so she naturally knows it.
"Would you like some drink?"
Keiko Nohara took a bottle of sake, sat opposite Hamura, poured herself a glass, looked at Hamura and asked.
"Hmm."
Hamura nodded silently.
Keiko Nohara was a little surprised, but she also poured a glass for Hamura, pushed it over, and said, "I remember that you don't like to drink very much?" And I've been wondering since just now, you seem to be a little out of shape, are you experiencing something troublesome? ”
Hamura picked up his wine glass and was silent for a while before he raised his head and looked at Keiko Nohara, "It's a more annoying thing. ”
"What is it? If you don't mind, maybe you can confide in me. ”
Keiko Nohara held her wine glass, "Although I'm just an ordinary person and haven't seen much of the world, I still have experience in facing some setbacks, maybe I can help you?" ”
Hamura drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, looked at Nohara Keiko and said, "This matter has something to do with Sister Keiko... It's about Lynn..."
Keiko Nohara's hand holding the wine glass trembled, and her expression slowly became nervous, and Rin, as a medical ninja, also followed to the battlefield, and Hamura now brought back Rin's news.
Looking at Hamura's obviously wrong state, Keiko Nohara's heart suddenly lifted.
"It's... What's the news? ”
Keiko Nohara was visibly panicked.
"I'm sorry ......"
Hamura's tone was full of apologies, "Rin is on the battlefield... sacrificed, all because of me... I'm sorry..."
Smack......
The glass fell on the table, and the drink spilled on the table.
Keiko Nohara looked confused.
Hamura looked at Keiko Nohara's current appearance, and his mood became even heavier.
He wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say at all, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Even if he has the means to reach the sky, but in the face of this kind of thing, there is no way.
Power does not solve everything, at least not to change the heart of a sad person.
Moreover, because Lin's death was almost caused by him, he was also extremely guilty.
He can use strangers for no reason and not change his face, but Keiko Nohara and Rin Nohara are obviously not among them, and they have lived together for several years.
