Chapter 86: Epilogue

"You're reassuring too soon!"

Kakashi reminded, frowning and looking ahead, the black oppressive figure was still very oppressive.

Although many people were knocked down by Zai Bu Chop, the ronin, who were still overwhelmingly numerous, slowly leaned over with a wicked smile on their faces again after seeing the frightened demon fall weakly.

Don't think about it, can they be the little minions who can defeat even the evil spirits they are afraid of?!

Therefore, man suffers only from self-knowledge.

Arrogance, pride, ambition, and greed, without the wisdom and strength of the corresponding, are nothing more than sticky tentacles full of temptation stretched out by the devil leading to the abyss.

"Damn dead ninja...... You've killed the owner of the money we managed to find! ”

"In that case, let's just attack the village and remove everything of value!"

The ronins gossip their own words, screaming ugly and ugly, venting their dark desires, and then aiming at Pegasus and the others, who have been bruised by the battle, as if they are mocking.

"So you're the victims of Number One."

"Die obediently! Uh-uh-haha. ”

Naruyuki couldn't help but glance at Kakashi, who was calm and composed, a little flustered.

"Teacher! Is there a technique to solve them in one go? ”

The hopeful question was coldly dismissed by Kakashi, and Kakashi still calmly retorted with a white look at Naruyuki who was full of anticipation.

"Don't be strong, do you know how much chakra I spent dealing with and then not slashing?"

At this moment, a huge fishing gun was shot in front of the eyes of the ronins who gathered like rainbows and jackals.

"What?!"

"If you dare to get any closer to this island, you will be the enemy of everyone on the island!"

Dazna turned his head, the voice was all too familiar, and his eyes widened as he looked at the short, thin figure not far away.

"Inari ......"

All the adults in the town who were able to move, with weapons in their hands, stood on one side of the bridge, confronting the ronin group without giving an inch.

Dazna made no secret of the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"You ......"

"Cardo's men! If you dare to come closer, don't try to go back alive! ”

"Big brother! Sister Mingxue."

A thin figure with a pot on his head and a small crossbow in his hand stood at the front of the crowd waving his hand.

"Ah~ didn't disappoint me!"

The one who went door to door to convince every house that was unwilling to come forward was Inali.

And the little girl's desperate cry finally touched the stubborn hearts of the people, and perhaps it was because of the words of Inali, who had become very timid since the loss of Keisha, that people would respond.

The number of people gathered increased very quickly, and soon a large group of villagers came to the bridge.

"Hey, hey! Heroes always come one step later! ”

"Alright! Then I'm here to help! ”

Ming Xue Knot Seal once again used the shadow clone technique, although because of the little relationship left in Chakra, only a few people could be separated, but the ronin obviously felt a lot of pressure and shrank slightly.

"To that extent, with my current chakra...... It's okay to bluff ......"

After Kakashi whispered to himself, he also used the shadow clone technique, and suddenly, dozens of Kakashi appeared on the bridge.

With this instant, the momentum of the ronin was completely crushed, and they completely retreated like an ant colony.

Only Tenma sighed slightly and put the knife back into its sheath, which is fine, although it wastes a lot of experience, but kills people or something

And there's more to it than that.

"It looks like it's all over......"

"yes."

At Kakashi's feet, the one who said this weakly was no longer killed.

The fire of his life hadn't been completely burned out, and he was holding on to his stump to look at everyone, but Kakashi still had Tenma to know what it was for.

"I want to ask you for something, I want to meet...... The guy ......"

Tianma crouched down wordlessly, put away his long knife, and then picked it up and never slashed again.

White things began to fall from the heavens.

"It's snowing?"

Mingxue looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, it was falling so sadly, and it was falling so lingering and silent.

It's late spring, which is about to enter early summer, so why is it snowing?

No longer slashing in the arms of Pegasus and watching the snowflakes falling from the sky, but thinking about white tears in his heart.

- White...... Is this what you're crying about?

After Jean Zaibu lay down beside Shiro, Tenma stepped back wordlessly, already holding a bottle of something in his hand.

Without the strength he had left, he leaned his body to a position where he could see Shiraku's side face, and stretched out his trembling hand to caress Shiro's cheeks.

- You've always been there for me...... At least I'm going to be by your side for the last moment......

He slowly and gently stroked Bai's beautiful and pure white cheeks, and in a very stable voice, he confided his saddest vows.

"White. If you can...... I really want to go with you...... Same ...... Place ......"

Just looked at the clear young man, the man's face was full of nostalgia and reluctance, he turned his head sideways, and promised with a smile.

Maybe it's because the body still has a little body temperature, or something else.

The snowflakes flying all over the sky fell in the corners of the young man's eyes, melting like tears, turning into tears, and falling silently.

The departed white is an eternal concern, the companionship of this life, waiting for the reunion in the next life.

Ming Xue, who was standing in front of them and watching the two of them, couldn't help but sob.

"This kid...... I was born in a village where there was a lot of snowfall......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He's a boy as pure as snow......"

After Tianma finished speaking quietly, he silently replied in his heart that he would not cut again-

- Yes, don't cut it again...... You two can be together all the time......

I finally closed my eyes slowly, with reluctance. The palm of his hand fell to the ground weakly.

The snow continued to fall, scattering all over Shiro's body......

When the light returned to the fog, it was also a snowy night.

There were two heart-to-heart hearts beating that night.

There is only one sentence: "Big brother's eyes are the same as mine." ”

Although the two were enemies, Kakashi and the others did not want such a poor and respectable pair of violent corpses in the wilderness, so they led everyone back to the town to buy a coffin and bury the two together.

Looking at the layer of white snowflakes covered by the newly filled gray-black soil, Mingxue and several girls silently shed tears, their hearts always seemed to be empty, and they unconsciously glanced at the tombstone again and again.

"Momoti and his wife sleep here"

"In the metropolis, I'm alone."

"It's like an empty jar that has been thrown away."

"Although we have always known each other,"

"If there is true love,"

"Just disappear from this world with me......"

"Until the end of the world,"

"We're not separated either!"

"For countless nights,"

"I've been looking forward to it."

"But there is no going back to the past,"

"Why is it still shining before my eyes?"

"Let the haggard heart break again,"

"The fickle thoughts ...... on this sad night"

"People are often looking for answers,"

"And the most precious thing is lost."

"In this street full of desire,"

"Even the stars in the night sky are dismissive of us."

"Before the end of the world,"

"Please tell me,"

"The suffering that blooming flowers will suffer."

"People only know what to expect,"

"But they don't believe in ever,"

"But if there is tomorrow,"

"I believe I can dream about it!"

"On this sad night when every day is changing."

"Until the end of the world,"

"Neither are we separated."

Although Tenma has many sad and poignant Japanese songs in his memory, he only wants to sing this song that is not a lamentation, and he sings it heartbreaking and tears streaming down his face!

Even in order to express his heart, Pegasus used the only remaining chakra to launch a bewitchment, and the hoarse and throat-tearing song rang out loudly, passing deep through the thick earth in the snowflakes.

The singing voice with strange charm and emotion made the little fox and others who thought of the emotional entanglement between Shiro and Zai Bu Chop cry, and even Kakashi turned his back, but it wasn't the people Tenma wanted to sing to......

Two weeks passed after that.

The bridge built by Dazna is finally completed, and with the fact that Cado is no longer there, the whole town is slowly rejuvenated again.

The day has come for Ming Xue and the others to return to the village.

They came to the tomb where they were buried, and said goodbye to the two of them.

Sakura slapped Naruyuki's hand, who wanted to steal the offering, and asked Kakashi in a serious voice:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Teacher, is the meaning of the ninja's existence really the same as the two of them say? ”

"Well...... this"

Kakashi gazed at the tombs of the two and replied:

"Ninjas cannot pursue their own raison d'Γͺtre and, above all, exist only as instruments of the state...... This...... It's the same with our Konoha Ninja Village......"

"Does this have to be the case to become a true ninja?"

Ming Xue, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but interject:

"I don't want it! I don't want that! ”

"Teacher, do you think so?"

After hearing Sako's question, Kakashi immediately said:

"Ninjas, everyone lives to a greater or lesser extent bothering about this...... It's like if you don't cut it again, there's still that child. ”

Ming Xue, who was no longer silent, looked at the tomb of the two with fixed eyes, and spoke again:

"Okay, I've decided now! I'm going to follow my own ninja path! ”

It seems that this mission has made Ming Xue and the others grow beyond imagination.

Only Pegasus stood quietly behind everyone with a long knife on his back, looking at the empty tomb inside, and smiling faintly.

"I was supposed to be a cold-blooded person."

"Now they should be together forever in a place where no one knows the way, right? That's great! ”

"Gone~ Mingxue."

Tenma and the others turned to leave, only Naruyuki was still standing there, he didn't intend to tell everyone that they weren't dead.

"Big brother ~~~ Sister Mingxue ~~~~"

After walking just a few hundred meters, a young and energetic voice came from behind him.

"Thank you...... Woo"

Pegasus just waved his hand and didn't look back, the golden-red sunlight of the late spring morning hitting his thin body, gilding him with a faint halo.

Later, this bridge connecting the country of waves with the mainland was named Tensaaki Bridge.

The name is in honor of the three ninja boys who made the boys of the country of Wave who lost their courage and hope and regain these things.

If you ask the people of the country of waves about the origin of the bridge's name, everyone will proudly tell you the story of the three ninjas who rescued their homeland.

Chapter 86: The mission of the country of waves is over.
