Chapter 97: White Fang's Father's Love (1)
Where does the soul go when a person dies? No one knows, but it is widely believed that after death, souls will go to the netherworld, or the necromantic realm.
Kakashi's soul came to a strange space, surrounded by thick darkness, but strangely, he seemed to still be conscious, and sentient. Kakashi could really feel it, the ground beneath his feet that seemed to be liquid, soft and rippling when he stepped on.
"Am I on my way to the Netherworld?" Kakashi walked casually, aimlessly, muttering in his heart, "Obito, Rin, I'm going to you now······"
Walking in the dark, a faint light can be seen, like a ship lost in a storm discovering the glimmer of a lighthouse. Kakashi's footsteps stopped, squinting, feeling the faint glow in the distance, and that hint of familiarity.
"That's?" Kakashi's expression was blank, but his heart was rippling, with suspicion and expectation, he stepped away in the direction of the faint light.
Kakashi chose the direction of the light, and with each step forward, the light became stronger. Soon, Kakashi got closer and closer to the faint light source. From a distance, in the middle of an earthy yellow ground, there is a fire burning and a few stone piers. A tall figure sat on a stone pier, facing the fire, and Kakashi could only see his back, and the silver-white hair calmed his magnificent heart.
"Father?······" Kakashi called out in his heart.
"Kakashi?" A familiar voice came.
"So you're here!" Kakashi quickened his pace and walked over, seated across from Hachiki Sagegeru.
Shuo Mao raised his head and looked at Kakashi, slightly surprised, he didn't expect his sons to be so old, so handsome, and so young, a little earlier than expected.
"Can you let me hear your story?" Shuo Mao straightened up and asked Kakashi, who was a little melancholy. Shuo Mao experienced the ups and downs of life before his death, and as soon as he saw Kakashi's eyes, he knew that his son's experience must be extraordinary, and he was afraid that he had also experienced a lot of sad past.
Kakashi smiled bitterly, his thoughts ebbing and falling, recalling the bits and pieces of the past, and slowly spoke, "It's a long story, listen to me tell you slowly!" ”
"It's okay. "I thought to myself, I've been waiting for you for so many years, do you still care about this little time?
Kakashi reminisced for a moment and began to tell his story, "Tell you yo, Daddy······"
······
Kakashi and Sakumo relive a rare parent-child time, while the ninja of Konoha grieves around his "corpse". Akai, in particular, cried a lot. He hugged Kakashi, tears and snot gushing out, and in a few moments he soaked Kakashi's clothes.
"Kakashi, I didn't expect you to go like this, in the future, who will compete with me, step on the cliff together, and soak in the hot springs together······" Akai thought back to his days with Kakashi, and the sadness came from it, forgetting his own wounds, and just crying bitterly.
"Kakashi ······" Asma, Sunset Red and the others are also grieving, Kakashi sacrificed himself to save them, how can he not let them mourn deeply. Among them, the mood between Yamashiro Aoba, the same feet, and the same and ignorant of the Xuan Huo is the most sad and complicated.
What's going on? Is the instruction class of the four generations of Hokage-sama really going to be wiped out? Obito is dead, Rin is dead, and now, Kakashi is dead. Yamashiro Aoba and the others used to be the guards of the Water Gate, and seeing with their own eyes that Kakashi, the only student of the Water Gate, was also killed in battle, and they felt the impermanence of the world.
Itachi stood aside and watched as Kakashi fell asleep quietly, without breathing, without a heartbeat, not even any signs of life. Kakashi, is he really dead? No, Itachi said to himself in his heart, as an important ninjutsu in the Hokage world, how could he get the bento so easily as a character in the Hokage world?
In the original history, after Kakashi was killed by Payne, he was finally resurrected by Nagato's reincarnation innate technique. Now, Kakashi's death has preceded its original history, what fate will he face?
Itachi wanted to open Kakashi's left eye to see if the pupil power of the Sharingan had disappeared, but with so many people under their noses, he couldn't show any disrespect to Kakashi. After all, the dead are greater. In order to deal with Obito, Itachi used to be obsessed with Kakashi's Kamui Sharingan, but now that he has opened the kaleidoscope and mastered the Flying Thunder God proficiently, he is no longer so covetous of Kakashi's Sharingan.
"Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to Kakashi's is to Kakashi!" Itachi gave up his desire to capture Kakashi's sharingan. Kakashi is also a poor man, who has experienced so much suffering since he was a child, personally experiencing his father committing suicide in physical and mental exhaustion, seeing his companion die in front of him, and killing his companion with his own hands?????? After going through so much, if I didn't have a strong heart, I'm afraid that I would have had a nervous breakdown long ago.
Deep down, Itachi has a deep admiration for Kakashi. People who haven't experienced everything will not understand Kakashi's state of mind. Just like the original Hokage world, Sasuke who lost his father, mother, family, warm life, and everything was lost, and everyone was clamoring to save Sasuke, but who really understood Sasuke's state of mind.
"Let's go back to camp first!" After a long time, Itachi persuaded loudly, "Hurry up and bring Kakashi back to the camp and let the medical ninja heal, maybe some miracle will happen?" Also, hurry up and send a message to Konoha and ask the village to arrange for someone to find Tsunade-sama. ”
"yes!" Yamashiro Aoba raised his head and ignited hope, "Tsunade-sama's medical ninjutsu is unparalleled in the world, and there must be a way." ”
What people fear most is the loss of hope. Even a faint hope is better than no hope at all. With a little longing, everyone carefully set up Kakashi, supported Akai, and quickly turned back to the camp while the night was still dark.
Itachi volunteered to stay behind to clean up the battlefield and take charge of the palace. Kakashi's death in battle, and everyone was in grief, not even noticing that Itachi was the only one left in the team led by Itachi. Now, no one is in the mood, killing the Five Elements Brothers, Lei Dun and the four people, and the rebels are defeated and fleeing, no matter how you say it, it is a huge victory, but there is no joy after the victory.
The ninja of Konoha, no one wants the only student left by the water gate to die like this. When Kakashi is here, the ninjas of Konoha will recall the demeanor of the water gate from Kakashi, but when Kakashi is gone, the shadow left by the water gate will gradually dissipate.
Itachi used his teleportation technique to seal the Konoha ninja who died in battle into the scroll, and the rebel ninja burned it with fire. Not to mention that keeping corpses can easily cause plagues, and some ninjas are good at using corpses to perform ninjutsu, and Itachi doesn't want to leave the enemy with excellent materials to create an army of ninjas.
The corpses of the four of Lei Dun, Itachi carefully examined them, but he didn't find any ninjutsu scrolls, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. In the ninja world, many ninjas have secrets to hide, and few ninjas carry ninjutsu scrolls with them. When you are lucky, you can have some windfalls, but Itachi didn't have good luck on the Thunder Escape Four.
With everything settled, the Itachi caught up with the large army, followed behind, and was in charge of the vigilance.
"Itachi, aside from the identity of the Uchiha, he is indeed a good ninja!" The people of Konoha looked back and saw Itachi's meticulous appearance, and commented in their hearts.
