"Stop, who's who?" When the guards of the large camp saw Hanzo, they asked vigilantly in a posture of attacking at any time.

"Konoha ninja, Fujiwara Hanzo." Hanzo, who had stopped, immediately replied, not daring to make any superfluous movements.

"What's the mission?"

"Seal scrolls for transporting recovered corpses." Hanzo replied honestly.

Then, after a series of verifications, the guards let Hanzo go.

In the camp, every ninja was sorting out their ninja equipment, their expressions were serious and very depressed, and they were no longer as relaxed as they had felt in Hanzo's eyes in the camp last time. Even if the battle happens at every turn, it is probably because you have a big advantage. "Did something happen during my absence?" Hanzo speculated in his heart.

Handing the scroll to the custodian and handing over the task, Hanzo returned to his tent, ready to ask his familiar companion what had happened.

"Ah, Hanzo is back." He greeted Kojiro, who was half-hiding in the same tent.

"Well, Uncle Kojiro, how are you doing this time?"

"Good, thank you for your concern, Hanzo." Kojiro was very happy to hear Hanzo's greeting, after all, Hanzo had never said hello to him before.

"Hey, Uncle Kojiro, is something wrong, why do I think everyone seems to be more depressed and nervous than before I went back to Konoha?" Hanzo inquired, hoping to get an answer from Kojiro.

Kojiro was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Do you feel it too?" I thought that people like you who jumped out of the way would continue to be heartless, not knowing anything, and immersed in spiritual practice. ”

"Hey, Uncle Kojiro, how can you tarnish people's innocence out of thin air, how can a person like me who cares about the development of the village have no heart and lungs. It turns out that I am such a person in my uncle's heart, which makes me sad so much. A gag of ridicule, Hanzo casually eliminated the embarrassment caused by Kojiro's evaluation of himself in this way. Then, with a serious face, he pulled the topic back, "Uncle Kojiro, oops, don't talk about me, what happened, tell me quickly." ”

"I don't know what's going on."

For such an answer, Hanzo was stunned. "It's nothing, I don't know what this is going to be. For such feedback, I feel a little out of control. ”

Before Hanzo could complain, Kojiro continued: "But it seems that the atmosphere has been like this since Wada-sama came." Anyway, maybe that's what you feel like you've cultivated as an experienced ninja. ”

"It's not like it feels like this for no reason, it's incredible."

"Of course, it's not for no reason, but because Lord Wada's mission this time is not simple, I analyzed it like this. I don't know what other people think, but it's pretty much the same. It must be a very important thing for a shinobi to escort the information, and only to convey it to Tsunade-sama, and then the upper level meeting has not come out yet. Although the mission was not communicated to us ordinary ninjas, it was entirely expected that something big would happen afterward. ”

At sunset, the afterglow of the sun shines into the tent, reflecting Kojiro's face, blending with the shadow of the tent, and Kojiro's gaze extends from the tent mouth into the distance, immersed in the depth. Hanzo has never seen a middle-aged and elderly person with a scruffy beard, usually full of decadent feelings, he likes to smoke at this moment will show a completely different state, quiet and far-reaching, mature and steady. Following Kojiro's gaze, Hanzo also turned his head to admire the red-dyed clouds in the sky in the distance. The two figures in the tent were slowly elongated by the slanting sun.

Suddenly, a ninja appeared at the entrance of the tent, and the two who came back to their senses only heard him say "From now on, only enter the camp", and then disappeared in front of the two of them.

Hanzo, who had received the order, looked at Kojiro again, wanting to hear his thoughts. Kojiro didn't move, just said silently: "Hanzo, get ready, maybe, there will be a war soon." ”

"Haven't you been fighting?" Hanzo was puzzled.

"It's different, maybe it will be the last big battle between us and Sand Shadow Village, after all, it's time for this war to end, and it's been going on for so long."

"Am I going to war?" Hanzo was a little apprehensive.

"In the final battle, except for the guards and medical ninjas, everyone will need to go to the front line. You may not have to fight directly, but if you don't have enough combat power, you also have to bear the responsibility of carrying the wounded back for treatment. Grow up quickly, Hanzo. Don't die. ”

"Understood. Don't make it seem like I can't do it, Uncle Kojiro, a genius like me has to surpass the shadow-level powerhouse. Seeing that the atmosphere was constantly heavy, Hanzo deliberately laughed.

Turning his head, Kojiro looked at Hanzo, a smile on his lips, and then walked back to his bed with the setting sun on his back.

In the evening, Da Mu rushed back and saw Hanzo, who was still resting and cultivating, and smiled, "Hanzo, just rest today, don't make yourself too tired these days." ”

"Hmm." Seeing the returning Oki, Hanzo stopped practicing.

"Hanzo, you're going to fight, right?" Kojiro confirmed.

"It should be, but I don't have any definite news either. I'm here to see Hanzo and remind him in case he gets caught up in the final battle. ”

"I've already told him my guess, Hanzo is quite smart and can feel the change in the atmosphere here. Don't worry too much. You're going to meet at that place, right? ”

"Hmm."

"Ah, Brother Damu, aren't you with us? Aren't we a squad? When Hanzo heard this, he was a little confused.

"I'm going to be transferred somewhere else to take charge of other things, and I won't be teaming up with you anymore. The fledgling always has to go out and soar by itself, come on, Hanzo, I'm optimistic about you. ”

"If you don't do this, what can you do, do you want to go to the front line and fight head-on, Big Brother Damu?" Hanzo asked worriedly.

"Hanzo, have you forgotten, I'm a perceptual ninja and a medical ninja, so I don't have to go to the front line."

"Ah, is it so safe, I'm so envious."

"I also want to go to the front line and fight like my ancestors, but my fighting ability is average. Hanzo, as a man, don't be afraid. Da Mu said earnestly.

"Yes. And how come I haven't seen you heal the wounded, if you hadn't said it, I would have forgotten that you still have this identity. ”

"I'm a little embarrassed to say, my medical ninjutsu is still at the elementary level, and the reason why I stayed in the camp is because of my perception ability, and the headquarters needs me to collect information. It's getting late, and I'm leaving. Goodbye, Hanzo, goodbye Kojiro. ”

"Goodbye." Kojiro and Hanzo Yingmichi.
