Chapter 240: Farewell

Rin turned pale as she looked at the gradually cold corpse of Hanyu the hippo, and finally gave up her last hope, leaning weakly on Kakashi's shoulder, tears sliding down her face.

The sound of ticks, ticks, tears falling to the ground was particularly clear in the quiet hall.

"Hanyu", the belated Tomoko hippo walked in with heavy steps with the support of Hong, and the crowd automatically divided a path, looking at them with sympathy, comfort and shame.

With the appearance of Tomoko Hippo, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in the eyes of Kakashi and other insiders, and the great joy after the elders made everyone not know how to react.

"Tsunade-sama", Tomoko Hippo's voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the sadness in her heart, and her strong and calm appearance made everyone feel unbearable when they saw it.

When Hong saw the body of Hippo Hanyu on the ground, he grabbed Tomoko Hippo's hand tightly, as if he wanted to confirm whether the people around him really existed, and seemed to be worried that the people around him would suddenly disappear. In the eyes of others, Hong, who saw her husband's tragic death, kept standing with the strength of Tomoko Hippo.

"Huh?" With the help of Jiraiya, Tsunade stood up with difficulty, not knowing that Tomoko Hippo was the real Hippo Hanyu, she was a little afraid to face the mother who had just lost her son, and said sadly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it either-"

"I know", Tomoko Hippo (Hippo Hanyu) looked at Tsunade's dejected appearance, how could he bear to go to Xingshi to question her like a guilty question, so he could only reply calmly: "Hanyu came back this time, and he was ready to atone for his sins, but he failed Tsunade-sama's wrong love for so many years." ”

"I-", Tsunade raised his hand, seeing what Jiraiya kept hinting at, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips, turning into a helpless sigh.

"Now, Hanyu and Konoha have been cleared." Tomoko Hippo's words seemed to have another meaning, and only a few people present could understand the meaning, "Let's go home!" ”

Hanyu the hippo is dead, but no one is happy, not even those who once wished he would die sooner.

"He is the best ninja in Konoha after four generations", watching Tomoko Hippo and his party leave, Elder Shimatani stood up and made a note for Hippo Hanyu's life.

No one questioned this statement, and after seeing the strength of Hippo Hanyu, who was almost able to destroy Konoha, no one was qualified to question this comment.

"Are you satisfied now?" Miyo asked, not looking at the two behind him, and walked down the steps.

Things unfolded too fast, so fast that they were a little dramatic, and Mito Menyan and Koharu couldn't accept such a result, what was the matter.

Two days later, the bodies of Hippo Hanyu and Chesswood Shuomao were buried together in the Konoha Cemetery, and the names of Hippo Hanyu and Chesswood Shuomao were successfully engraved on the memorial tablet at the insistence of Tsunade, and next to their names, the nicknames of Konoha White Fang and Konoha Gray Wolf were respectively noted.

The two legendary characters of Konoha have finally fallen one after another after twenty years of ups and downs. Unlike the loss of the Konoha people, the ninjas in other villages all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. Konoha can't return to the previous prosperity after all, and the ninja world in the future should once again enter the era of separation.

Asma stood in front of the tombstone of Hippo Hanyu, the feeling of loneliness hit like a tide, he just came out of the hospital, and he didn't have the opportunity to see the last side of Hippo Hanyu.

"Why do I have a feeling that the person lying here is not you?" Asma muttered, he couldn't accept that the back figure who had been leading the way in front of him just died.

After the death of Hippo Hanyu, the Konoha Dojo, which had been tightly sealed, was restored to its original state, and Tomoko Hippo moved back to the dojo with her whole family.

It's just that after the fall of the hippo Hanyu, the signboard of the dojo was taken down, and after the other buildings were razed to the ground by the explosion, the Konoha Dojo became the only building on the bare back mountain, and here, it is no longer lively, and guests are no longer welcome, as if it has become a forbidden place that is not open to people outside the Konoha Dojo.

Naruto's lonely back hurried forward, he sneaked out of the hospital, he didn't believe the fact that his godfather was dead, he wanted to verify it himself. Although he didn't show much closeness to Hippo Hanyu during his lifetime, in his heart, this godfather, who was sometimes gentle, sometimes harsh, sometimes affectionate, and sometimes indifferent, was the best image of his father in Naruto's mind, who had never seen his father since he was a child.

Also unwilling to accept this news is the nine-tails in Naruto's body, it is unwilling, how can Hippo Hanyu die in the hands of others, his strength is strong enough to compare to the strength of the tailed beast, how can ordinary humans kill. But the breath of the hippo Hanyu is indeed gone, and no matter how powerful it is, it cannot be detected.

Because of the death of Hippo Hanyu, Naruto put Sasuke's affairs aside for the time being, although Sasuke is important, but on the scales of friendship and affection, at least this moment is tilted towards family affection.

"Brother Naruto?" Kikito looked at Naruto in surprise, it had been a long time since he had become an official ninja to visit his little brother.

Kiki Kito obviously knew the truth of the matter, so he was not as sad as Naruto imagined, but remembering his uncle's advice, Kiki Kito immediately pretended to be sad and lost, and almost hugged Naruto and cried bitterly.

I have to admit that Ji Tu, like his uncle, is very talented in acting, and he was stunned to bluff Naruto, and under his voice, Naruto finally no longer doubted Hanyu's death.

"Naruto? You're here, why don't you go in? Tomoko Hippo was a little surprised, walked up to Naruto's side and patted him on the head, and shouted softly, "It's just in time, we're about to start eating, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

Naruto scratched his head, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, so he nodded stupidly.

The meal was eaten in silence, probably because of Naruto's relationship, and he had some scruples in his speech and demeanor, which made Naruto even more convinced that the news of his godfather's death was true.

After the meal, Tomoko Hippo, Kakashi, and Red Naruto were left alone.

"Naruto", Tomoko Hippo looked at Naruto with dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Is your dream still to be the Hokage of Konoha?" ”

"Of course", although he didn't understand why Tomoko Hippo asked that, Naruto replied without hesitation.

"Very good", Tomoko Hippo smiled kindly and praised, "Your godfather will be very happy to see Naruto work so hard." Work hard, your godfather is very much looking forward to you becoming the sixth generation Hokage! ”

"Six generations of Hokage?" Naruto's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be a little excited to see him wearing the Hokage's uniform, but it didn't take long for his expression to fade and say, "But I'm so stupid that I can't even keep Sasuke." ”

"Naruto", Tomoko Hippo can understand Naruto's feelings, Naruto, who aims at the Hokage, has always taken Sasuke, who has the best grades, as his goal, so he is also very concerned about his words, probably what Sasuke said, which made him deeply shocked, "Your father is a very good ninja, how can you be a fool?" ”

"But why can't I even practice such a simple ninjutsu as the three-body technique?" Naruto was a little puzzled, as no one had ever told him about the effect of that special power in his body on him, so he didn't know how to grasp that power.

"That's because your teacher didn't teach you well", Tomoko Hippo said this, his eyes looked at Kakashi, this kid is still as partial to Sasuke as in the original, and he seems to lack a little patience with Naruto, especially his taciturn teaching style, if he can teach his apprentice well, then he is called a ghost.

Kakashi twisted his head to the side, pretending not to see it, and deliberately cleared his throat to warn him to stop talking nonsense.

"Your godfather once asked Jiraiya to guide you, you have to seize the opportunity to work hard, this is not only the expectation of your father, mother, and your godfather, but also the expectation of all of us." Tomoko Hippo encouraged.

"Yay?" Naruto was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the lustful fairy to guide him actually had such an inside story, "I see." "Naruto felt like he was surrounded by happiness, someone cared about someone and someone valued, and he was really happy.

It's just that Naruto doesn't know that Tomoko Hippo, who cares about him, will soon be leaving here.

"Tsunade-sama", Red appeared in Tsunade's office in casual clothes, and after greeting Tsunade, handed over an application form.

"You're going to quit the Konoha Ninja battle sequence?" Tsunade's hand as he took the application shook slightly, and the day had finally arrived.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama. My current situation is no longer suitable for me to continue to lead the team to carry out the task, so please arrange a new teacher to guide Class 8 as soon as possible. Hong bowed slightly, although she was reluctant to let those students go, but she couldn't help it.

"Do you have a good candidate?" Tsunade put down the information, gently rubbed his sun**, and asked.

Red thought for a moment and said, "Uchiha Shizun should be up to the task." ”

Shizune Uchiha? Tsunade thought about it, Jing is a good thing, but she has been staying in the shadows, and if you want to transfer her out, you need to get her consent.

"Is that what you mean or is that what you mean?" Tsunade pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down!" It's been a long time since we've had a good conversation. ”

Red thought for a while and refused: "I still have something to do, if Tsunade-sama is free, why don't you go to the dojo for a cup of tea, I think he should have a good chat before we leave." ”

"Mute," Tsunade shouted immediately after Red left, "go and find Shizu." ”

After a long conversation between Tsunade and Jing, Jing's appointment as the new instructor of Class 8 was confirmed, and soon after, Jing withdrew from the shadows and went from behind the scenes to the foreground, and her hidden strength was also reflected in the subsequent missions.

"Teacher", Hinata Hinata, Shino the oil girl and Inuzuka Ya found the Konoha Dojo together, and the three of them were very reluctant to quit halfway through the red, but when they learned from Jingkou that their teacher was about to become a mother, the three of them were still sincerely happy for her, at least after Teacher Hanyu left, she was not alone, she still had children.

"Thank you for coming to see me", although the three of them don't care, but Hong is still a little guilty, and it is irresponsible for him to quit halfway after all, but fortunately, Jing is also a strong forbearance, I believe that under the guidance of Jing, the three of them have better growth.

"I'm a little angry, but, anyway, you're our teacher." Ya was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and complained in a low voice: "Whether it was before or in the future, you are our teacher, and when we come to ask for advice, I hope you don't turn us away." ”

Red looked at the three of them gently, although the tooth kid sometimes seemed naughty, but more straightforward and cute, joy, anger and sorrow were completely on his face, and in some ways he was somewhat similar to Naruto. Hinata has a gentle personality, is easy to be shy, and doesn't want the eldest lady from a big family at all, without a little arrogance and arrogance. And Shino is silent and calm, and he doesn't like to be too close to people, but he is a reliable companion.

Although the three of them are not as talented as Hinata Ninji and Uchiha Sasuke, they are all hardworking and serious, and they all have a simple, kind and tolerant heart.

"I'll be leaving Konoha in the near future, but I'm afraid I won't have such an opportunity in the future." Red didn't want to break the hearts of the three of them because of his non-confession, and sighed.

"Teacher leaving?" Tooth screamed in surprise, a little puzzled why the teacher left Konoha where he had grown since childhood.

Red nodded, twisting his head to the side, not daring to look at the disappointed eyes of the three.

Shino clenched his teeth and asked seemingly calmly, "Is the teacher still back?" ”

Just when Red didn't know how to answer this question, Red Bean's voice came, "You three, come over here." ”

Hongdou's expression was a little unkind, as if the three of them had done something to anger her, the three of them had been guided by Hongdou for a period of time before, and they were a little afraid of Hongdou, and when they saw Hong's nod, the three of them had to be unwilling and reluctantly walked over.

Hey, what kind of expression are you guys, especially you. Red Bean's arm rested on Tooth's shoulder, and half of the whole body pressed against Tooth's body, and he pinched out his tongue and shook it twice in front of Tooth's nose.

Poor and innocent Yana saw this scene, his eyes were closed, his neck shrank, and his face instantly turned red. Hinata and Shino saw that Ya was being abused, and they stepped aside very unrighteously, for fear that they would be harmed by Ya and reach the pond fish. There is no way, if they die, they may not blink their eyelids, but the problem is that the person on the other side is not an enemy, but a red bean that is more terrible than the enemy.

"Red Bean, stop playing." Jing really can't stand it, how can this red bean be the same as the teacher, so bad taste, how to say that these three little guys are red students, and they will also be their own students in the future.

"For the sake of your face, let him go." Hongdou knocked the head of the tooth before letting go of the poor tooth, "Jing, I won't delay your master and apprentice to exchange feelings." Dropping this sentence, the red bean man left in style.

After Jing had a long talk with the three of them, Jing became the new instructor of Class 8 and the appointment was accepted by the three of them. However, this appointment has not attracted the attention of others, and it should be that several more important appointments have already attracted everyone's attention.
