Chapter 1: The Loss of a Father
"Hanyuβ"
A low cry woke up Hanyu the hippopotamus who was lying in a nap on the side branch of a large tree, and he stood up, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and looked at the person who woke him up with displeasure.
A purple young man in a Konoha ninja suit stood under a tree, his resolute face with a hint of pain and chagrin, looking up at the hippo Hanyu's eyes dim and sad.
Hippo Hanyu frowned, and immediately jumped down from the tree, "Uncle Zixiao, you're back, is the battle over?" Han Yu asked with a sincere smile.
The purple young man's name is Mitarai Zixiao, about thirty years old, one meter eight five tall, is his father's classmate and partner, and is one of the famous eight colors of Konoha, the head of the dark department of Konoha.
Mitarai Shiyo is one of the few all-round ninjas in Konoha who can use chakras of three natures, and more importantly, although he is tall, his mind is not simple, and he is introverted and not good at talking, but he is thoughtful, calm and decisive. It is said that the strength is second only to the three generations of Hokage, the three shinobi and the Konoha White Fang.
For such a bull fork character, even the arrogant hippo Han Yu really admires, seeing that Mitarai Zixiao did not answer his question, Han Yu's expression froze, and a bad premonition rose in his heart: "Is it my father, what happened to him?" β
Mitarai Zixiao's face was very gloomy, although he was very reluctant, but he had to tell the cruel reality of the 4-year-old child in front of him: "Hanyu, your father died in this mission, he is our hero of Konoha!" β
Hippo Hanyu covered his face with his hands and didn't want anyone to see his expression at the moment, and his rapid and heavy breathing told people that he was not at peace in his heart at this moment. After a moment of silence, Hippo Hanyu put his hand down, as if he had accepted the unfortunate news: "You haven't told my mother about this matter, have you?" β
"Tomoko already knows, your father's body has been placed in the shrine, and your mother has also passed away." Seeing that Hippo Hanyu regained his calm demeanor so quickly, Mitarai Zixiao was very surprised in his heart, the experience of being a ninja had made him accustomed to facing the death of his companions, but it was quite rare for Hippo Hanyu, a child who had not undergone any training, to be able to self-regulate like this, and he had no interest in his friend, the only son.
"I see." Hippo Hanyu straightened his body, raised his head to look at Mitarai Zixiao, and said, "It is my father's dream to sacrifice everything for Konoha, and I think my father must be very happy." Han Yu paused and continued: "I know that Uncle Zixiao is very amazing, and I have often heard my father mention you, thank you uncle for taking care of my father for a long time, this time, my uncle must also be very sad!" After speaking, he bowed deeply, leaving Mitarai Zixiao in deep thought, and walked towards the worship hall.
Hippo Hanyu looks calm, but his heart is not as calm as he appears. His thoughts were flying, and the memories that had been buried deep in him were churning in his heart again.
"Han Yu, you're here. I didn't expect to see you again, what a miracle! A young man with eyes in a white coat said to the handsome young man with a pale face in front of him.
"Yes! I didn't think of it either. Han Yu put down a comic book in his hand, raised his head, and said, "It's you, it's been three years and it hasn't changed at all, have you ever thought about finding a girlfriend and getting married quickly." β
"Married?" The young doctor was surprised: "Didn't you Han Yu say that you want to play with all the beauties in the world and vow to be single until you are forty years old?" I didn't expect you to persuade others to get married one day. β
"Isn't that weird?" Han Yu's mood suddenly became very low, and said, "If you are like me, you will also know the preciousness of life." β
Hearing Han Yu say this, the young doctor was also very gloomy, "You're here to check, right?" β
"Hmm!"
"How's it going?"
"The cancer has spread very severely, and Director Qin's statement is that there will be a month at most." Han Yu smiled wryly.
"Iβ"
Han Yu suddenly laughed, patted the young doctor on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be sad, life is like this, isn't it?" What's more, the doctor sentenced me to death three years ago, but now I am not the same and I am still alive and well. Han Yu didn't want the seriously ill and dying patient at all, but comforted the doctor.
"I didn't expect you to still read comics, I remember that you used to do this in class." Seeing that Han Yu didn't want to entangle with his condition, the young doctor also changed the topic.
"This one!" Han Yu raised his hand and said with a smile: "You know, I have returned to the countryside to teach since Guoxin Investment resigned, and I confiscated it when a student peeked during class. β
"Understood." The young doctor looked very understanding, and said: "After the book is in your hands, you will take it for you, and you will take it for yourself." β
"Hey, hey," Han Yu smiled.
"What book?"
"Naruto."
"I've heard of it, it's been out for many years, and it doesn't seem to be over yet."
"Yes! I don't know if I'll wait until the day he'll finish it. β
After that, Han Yu spent the last years of his life reading comics on the hospital bed, as if after waking up, he became another person and came to another world.
In this world, his name is Hippo Hanyu, and his father is Konoha Kamishinobi, is it a dream?
It shouldn't be, the dream was not so clear, so Han Yu knew that the bloody crossing plot appeared on him, and the reason for the crossing seemed to be related to a set of mental methods taught to him by his uncle who was a Taoist priest.
It took four years for Hanyu Hippo to get used to and accept the world, to accept his mother, a woman who was ten years younger than him in mental age, and his father, a man who was crazy and desperate for his ideals.
Hippo Hanyu didn't notice it, his face was already full of tears. On the way to the shrine, there were many people who wept as sadly as he did. Now in the period of the Second Ninja War in the legend of the Hokage, as the war spreads, ninjas die on the battlefield every day, and there is never a shortage of sad old people, grieving men and women, and lonely children on the way to the shrine.
The Grim Reaper wields a scythe on the battlefield, harvesting the lives of the Konoha ninja and the tears of his relatives.
Hippo Hanyu is a person who has experienced death once, and he can best understand the painful eyes of a loved one who has lost a loved one. On the first day of knowing that his father was a ninja, Hippo Hanyu was waiting for the arrival of today, and for ninjas, the battlefield was their best home.
But apparently Hippo Hanyu did not have the consciousness to become a ninja, not because he was afraid of death, but because he didn't like to trample on the dignity of life like this.
"Mother." Hanyu the hippo knelt beside his mother and gently held the hand of the young mother.
Grief is always sad, and ten days after sending off his father, Hippo Hanyu's mother, who has not been out of the room for ten days, finally came out, but when he saw his mother's Konoha ninja uniform, Hippo Hanyu's face changed, and he was rarely serious and serious: "I want to be a ninja." β
Hearing Hippo Hanyu's loud request, his mother Tomoko Hippo froze, and a trace of excitement appeared on her pale face: "Really? It seems to be suspicious of Hippo Hanyu's words.
It's no wonder that Hippo began to teach him ninjutsu when he was three years old, and hoped that he could go to ninja school and become an excellent ninja, but Han Yu refused, "I just want to be an ordinary person, an ordinary life, and an ordinary death." These were the original words of the three-year-old Hippo Hanyu, who shocked his parents on the spot at that time, and since then he has only dropped a ninjutsu scroll and has not forced him to be a ninja again.
"No," Tomoko Hippo was really happy to see Hippo Hanyu change his mind, but then she remembered Hippo Hanyu's performance when he was learning ninjutsu, and her expression darkened again. "Mother wants you to live well, and that's enough."
Hippo Hanyu has been rolling in the business world for five years, from an unknown trader to an investment consultant who has become one of the largest investment companies in China.
Although Hippo Hanyu doesn't want to be a ninja, but in this world, this is an unavoidable choice, especially when he puts filial piety first, how can he let his mother, who has taken off the ninja uniform for five years, go to the battlefield to die in order to take revenge.
Hippo Hanyu sighed, a little helpless, untied his belt, took off the gray-blue kimono on his body, revealing the tights inside, as well as the weight-bearing clothes on top of the tights.
"Ahh Tomoko Hippo covered her mouth, extremely surprised, this in front of her was really her playful, lazy, and unenterprising son, she never knew that her four-year-old son was not as useless as she and her husband imagined, let alone what kind of efforts Hippo Hanyu was doing behind people.
Hippo Hanyu took off his weight-bearing clothes, moved his body easily, turned over to the courtyard, and quickly sealed his hands, Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin, "Fire Escape-The Art of the Great Fireball".
The whole process only took less than five seconds, which is not the limit of Hippo Hanyu, but in order not to surprise his mother too much, he still retained most of his strength, after all, it is impossible for him to tell his mother that in his previous life, because he was bored when he was hospitalized, in addition to practicing the mental method given by his uncle every day, that is, practicing sealing, he couldn't tell his mother that he was already able to control chakra when he was one year old, and he was able to increase the knot to five times a second when he was two years old!
As a child, in order not to act too special, he tried not to appear in front of people, and he pretended to sleep as much as possible, sleeping for almost twenty-one hours a day, and when his mother thought he was asleep, in fact, he had been practicing the seal and extracting the chakra had already cultivated that inexplicable mental method, which was the only pastime in his boring and boring baby's life for the past two years!
Tomoko Hippo looked at her son and was really stunned, genius, it turned out that his son was a genius, how could she never show this.
"Mother, I want to be a ninja and avenge my father, but please take off this uniform, this uniform should not be worn on you, please." Hippo Hanyu knelt respectfully in front of his mother, waiting for his mother's reply, with what he knew about his mother, she would know the choice.
