Chapter 105: The Afterglow of the Sunset
Konoha, the edge of a cliff on the Hokage Rock.
The old man in the Hokage's costume slowly took off the cloak on his head, revealing his age-spotted face, and although he looked old, his heartfelt smile was infectious.
Snow God Moon silently turned her head, put her hands on the sides of her thighs, and said softly, "Konoha in the sunset... It's beautiful..."
The three generations also looked at the village with peaceful eyes, as he had always done, and muttered, "Yes, Konoha is so beautiful..."
Hearing this, Xue Shenyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
I just said that the scenery under the sunset is beautiful, but the three generations of grandfathers don't seem to mean that, what he said is... The village is beautiful.
Konoha, the village he loved so much and gave everything for it, was the most beautiful existence in the eyes of three generations.
"The leaves in the sunset are like a layer of fire, even if we know that the night is coming, it will make us believe that the light will not disappear, and the flame will eventually lead the dawn to come."
The three generations looked at the snow god moon gently and said, "And I, the sunset that is about to fall, burns the last flame, guarding this village and preventing it from falling into darkness." ”
The young man couldn't help but think back to the help that the three generations of Hokage had secretly provided to him over the years, and when he saw his old face now, he suddenly felt a little sad.
He pursed his lips and said softly, "Didn't you say that the sun was setting and dawn was coming?" Then the morning sun will rise with it, so it is not the last flame. ”
"Hahaha..."
The three generations let out a hearty laugh, their eyes warm and soft: "It's not me who re-illuminates the village, but you new suns." ”
The old man's voice, although a little lacking in qi, was still atmospheric.
Just like his eyes, although cloudy but unconcealably kind, he really loves this village.
Snow God Moon turned her head and looked at the sky again.
The sunset gorgeously pierced the sky, like a ribbon, all over the sky, like the last fireworks blooming, sending off the sunset.
Miyo's laughter died down, then he coughed slightly, reached into his sleeve with his right hand, and took out his large pipe.
He lit it casually, and was about to take two mouthfuls to quench his cravings, but the next moment he was blocked by a slender hand.
Xue Shenyue took the old man's big pipe and persuaded, "Hokage-sama, it's better to smoke less if you're not in good health." ”
Who knew that the three generations of old men glanced at him silently, and then directly snatched the pipe with his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word: "The old man only has this hobby left." ”
Snow God Moon looked at Lord Hokage, who looked like an old child, and his face was also full of helplessness.
"Don't worry, my old man isn't dying so easily."
The three generations seemed to know what he was thinking, spit out a puff of smoke, and said lightly: "No matter how I say it, I will also protect Konoha for another five years, and during this period, whoever wants to invade will have to step on the old man's corpse." ”
Although his tone was flat and unwavering, Xue Shenyue realized his determination and will not return to death.
The old man was like a piece of dead wood, trying his best to burn his wreckage and bring the last light and warmth to the village.
The third generation suddenly turned his head, stretched out his old right hand and touched the young man's head, and said gently: "So, you still have five years to grow, and I won't be able to hold it any longer." ”
Xue Shenyue frowned when she heard this, and said in confusion: "What does it mean that I still have five years to grow?" ”
"Yes, in five years, I want to ask you..."
The third generation smiled slightly, handed out the Hokage cloak in his hand, and said in a voice that Shi Potian said, "... Do you dare to take this seat! ”
The word fire on the cloak caught the boy's eyes, like a raging flame.
However, completely contrary to the expectations of the three generations, Xue Shenyue was only slightly stunned, and then shook his head and said, "When the Hokage has too many things to carry, I guess he will be tired..."
Even in the state of mind of the three generations of Hokage, when he heard the boy's answer, his face twitched fiercely.
"Moreover, the hearts of those who play politics are too dark... I still want to be a good person. Snow God Moon glanced at Hokage-sama's expression and shrugged.
"Hehe..."
The three generations of old men smiled freely, took back the Hokage cloak in his hand, and put it on his legs again: "What is a good person and what is a bad person, how can it be so easy to distinguish." ”
He looked at the Snow God Moon and said slowly: "For example, some people have killed many enemies in order to protect their country, but he is the hero of his own people but the executioner of the enemy country. ”
"Some people brutally killed their parents and relatives, he is a heinous traitor to his own people, but his purpose is for the sake of peace in the village."
Snow God Moon's eyes moved, the latter sentence should be Uchiha Itachi...
The eyes of the three generations were gentle and kind: "You said that the hearts of people who play politics are very dark, I can't deny this... However, goodness cannot protect the light, and peace comes from the bloody past. ”
"Some people use all means, perhaps just for their own desires, while others do everything they can, even if they are soaked in darkness, to protect those who believe in him... This is the difference between a politician and a politician. ”
After the three generations of grandfathers said this, as if to give the boy time to think, he turned his head again and looked affectionately at this village that had paid his life's work.
Snow God Yue slowly raised her head, and a soft afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on her face, gilded with a faint glow: "All along, I have worked hard just to break the shackles on my body, to meet someone..."
The big pipe on the side of the third generation's mouth suddenly stopped trembling, and his eyes revealed a complicated color: "Tuan Zang him... It's also for Konoha..."
"Hokage-sama..."
Xue Shenyue turned her head to look at the old man, and interrupted softly: "There is never absolute good or bad in this world, and we judge a person as an enemy, and it is often not because of how many evil things he has done..."
The young man's eyes are bright and deep, and there is no immaturity that a child of this age should have.
This kind of temperament made the three generations a little stunned, and he suddenly felt that he was not facing a teenager, but a mature soul.
Xue Shenyue did not stop, and continued: "We define a person as an enemy because he is in the way of his way, standing on the opposite side, and if he does not pull it out, he will hurt himself... Well, whether he's a good guy or not, whether there's a unique reason to hold us back, even... Does he also have an extremely painful past..."
The boy's voice did not have a trace of waves, as if to elaborate on a fact: "... He is still our enemy, and we will do everything we can to eradicate him. ”
The three generations suddenly felt that the young man in front of him who was talking eloquently saw it more thoroughly than himself.
He knew that on the way to pursue his dreams, he would inevitably encounter many enemies that would make him embarrassed and even sympathetic, and this young man had already had the consciousness of cutting everything off.
Unlike himself, he has long been aware of Tuanzang's ambitions, but he has been worried and bound by his past friendship.
In the end, it dragged on step by step until now, becoming the biggest hidden danger of Konoha...
Xue Shenyue didn't know what the three generations were thinking, he thought about it, and said, "I have my own answer to what you said five years later..."
-------------
I think that goals and ideals come step by step, and down-to-earth is the king...
