Chapter 279: Drunk
"Living here is the request of Tianshan's predecessors, he likes the taste of the hospital and herbs, even if he retired for physical reasons, he has not given up the study of medical skills, over the years, he has been taking care of the medicine garden behind the hospital, cultivating many precious herbs." Rin explained as she handed some information to Tsunade.
"These areβ" Tsunade asked, looking at the somewhat familiar handwriting.
"The records of herbal cultivation compiled by Tianshan's predecessors", this is the real reason why Lin respects the pharmacist Tianshan - that dedication to medicine.
"You sort these out, originally archived in Konoha Hospital, the transcript is in the hospital, the hospital's medicine garden, who will take care of it in the future?" Tsunade quickly sorted out her thoughts, and now she is back to her usual shrewd and capable appearance.
"The medicine garden is in charge of the hospital, and I will propose the specific candidate after discussing it with the senior of Inuzuka Paw." Rin didn't answer Tsunade's question immediately, but thought about it before responding.
Tsunade nodded, he was a little anxious, "I'll trouble you to prepare for Yakushi Tianzen's funeral, after all, he is also the patriarch of the medical ninja department." β
Lin didn't hesitate this time, Pharmacist Tianshan is single, has no children and relatives, and he has received a lot of guidance from him, so it is naturally his responsibility to take care of his afterlife.
After Rin left, Tsunade's thoughts were confused again, and Yakushi Tianzen died laughing, so she was certainly sad about the loss of such a friend, but she was also comforted that he was able to die with a smile.
It's just that Yakushi Tenzen's words disturbed her heart, and looking at the pile of papers on the table, Tsunade had no intention of working and walked out of the Hokage's office building.
"Tsunade? Two drinks? "Tsunade, who was wandering aimlessly on Konoha Street, ran into a bad uncle at the door of a bar.
Tsunade nodded, maybe you'll feel better after two drinks!
However, when he saw Jiraiya's hand hanging around his neck, he frowned: "Can you drink like this?" β
"What is this little injury, it's because the girls in the hospital are making too much of a fuss, and they have suffered more serious injuries than this before, and it's nothing." Being able to sit and chat with Tsunade and drink alcohol is worth it even if the injury worsens! Without hesitation, he pulled off the gauze hanging around his neck and opened the curtain of the bar for Tsunade.
The originally noisy bar quieted down the moment Tsunade and Jiraiya came in, "Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama." The drinkers stood up and greeted the two men.
Tsunade nodded in response, she still cared very much about her image as Hokage in front of outsiders.
There is no restraint in the self.,Say hello casually.,Pat the shoulders of the acquaintances you meet from time to time.,The hippie smile on his face is a stark contrast to the solemn Tsunade.γ
The two of them chose a table in the corner to sit down, so as not to disturb others and avoid being disturbed by others.
"It's really not easy for the two of us to sit together and have a drink! The last time I asked you to go back to Konoha to be the Hokage, I remember that at that time, you still drugged my wine. Jiraiya filled it up for the two of them, while talking casually.
"During the time you were here, you shouldn't have drunk less wine! What do you think? There is no interest in comparing and seeing, who fell first. "Tsunade has the urge to get drunk today.
"Oh, you're so interested, then I'll accompany you to the end, but since you became the Hokage, you rarely drink, so you don't have to worry about losing to me." Jiraiya smiled.
"Lost to you?" Tsunade was suddenly aroused, "Since I was a child, when have I ever lost to you, and you want to win me, try it?" β
Jiraiya laughed and said, "As long as you don't do anything in the wine, how can I lose to you, or we can gamble something?" β
Tsunade is a good gambler and loses nine out of ten, which is also very clear, but he wants to provoke Tsunade and put forward a gambling contract, which looks like he has ulterior motives.
Tsunade sneered, Jiraiya This is the method of agitation, how she doesn't know, but she is very curious, what exactly does Jiraiya want to bet with her, "What to bet on?" If I don't remember, you never have enough money in your pocket, and there's nothing else of value to look at, and I can't think of anything you can gamble on. β
Tsunade, your words hurt my pride too much, and I looked at Tsunade speechlessly, okay! I admit that I have no longevity, but we are not poor, so we are free and easy.
"Gambling money, how vulgar is that! You're also the Hokage of Konoha now, so you're not short of money to spend! Let's bet on one thing, and whoever loses will promise the other party something that they can do. "It was really premeditated.
"Two people are drinking! How about I be a referee? Kakashi appeared abruptly, and without waiting for the two of them to agree, he sat down in his seat on the side.
"You're not Kakashi?" Jiraiya looked at Kakashi in front of him vigilantly, although in terms of appearance, there was no difference between him and Kakashi, even the aura on his body was seven or eight points similar, if he didn't lean over at this time, I'm afraid even Jirai wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"What's wrong with you?" There is no need to fake Kakashi to answer, Tsunade has already guessed the identity of the person who came, and he needs to cover up his identity, but he doesn't care about her and Jiraiya, who else can there be except for Hippo Hanyu.
"It's Lord Tianshan who came back for me", Hippo Hanyu beckoned, motioned to the waiter to add a wine glass and wine, and poured a glass to himself, "It's a pity that I still haven't been able to see his last side." β
Hippo Hanyu raised his glass to the two of them and drained the wine in the glass, in fact, he came back just at the right time, just in time to see Tianzen and Tsunade's final goodbye, and also happened to see the lonely figure on the other side.
"You'd better hope Kakashi doesn't show up in the village at this time, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave Konoha." Tsunade's tone was a little unkind, this person had been gone for two years, and he hadn't even given himself a letter, which made her hate her so much.
"Kakashi won't appear", Han Yu said with a smile, since he dared to come out like this, naturally there was a complete guarantee, this is his style.
"Now that you're back, drink with us." I don't want to see sparks between the two of them and become peacemakers.
"Okay, how you want to drink this time, I'll accompany you, and the two of you have a gambling contract, don't fall before me." Hippo Hanyu raised a glass and did it first as a respect.
The amount of alcohol of the three of them is not small, even if they want to buy drunk, it is not so easy, until it is dark, the three of them are a little drunk, under the advice of Han Yu, the three of them twisted the wine bottle and came to the cemetery of Konoha leisurely.
"Ten years ago, I said to myself, never set foot in this place again, because I don't want to watch the people around me leave. So, I haven't been here for so many years. Hippo Hanyu poured a few sips of wine and sighed: "But in fact, even if I don't come here, the people who should leave will still leave, everything is just me deceiving myself." β
"I keep telling myself that I want to forget, but the more you try to forget, the clearer it becomes. I still remember the first time I went on a mission, it was to follow my uncle and you", Hippo Hanyu patted Jiraiya's shoulder and continued: "Orochimaru, Broken, and Wind Demon seniors, my first injury, the first time I killed someone, it was at that time, and it was that experience that made me realize the cruelty and bloodiness of this world. I told myself that I was going to live, no matter what, I was going to live. Then I learned to sneak attack, I learned to assassinate, I learned to use poison, I learned to be cold and ruthless. My hands were bloody, but I was still alive. β
"So, we can sit here and drink today." I don't know if it's touching the scene or drinking high, when I arrived at this cemetery, Hippo Hanyu said a lot, while talking and drinking, he kept drinking, and walked along the neat rows of tombstones, and every time he walked in front of a familiar name, he stopped for a moment, looked at the tombstones, and muttered the story between the two.
Jiraiya and Tsunade are also drinking non-stop, and when Hippo Hanyu is reminiscing about the past, they are also drinking with the past, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in their memories are dug out from the depths of their minds little by little.
"How many people did I kill, you say?" Hanyu, the hippopotamus who had turned around a lot, finally returned to the front of the two, raised his hands and flipped it, "How many times does this slap have to be turned to count!" In this cemetery, I killed many people. β
"Murder? Did the three of us kill fewer people? During the war years, even if we were unarmed babies, could we refuse? Jiraiya drunkenly responded, "It's not to kill or to be killed, this is the fate of ninjas, we can't resist, all we can do is to become stronger, become stronger, and let ourselves live, so that we can protect the people we want to protect." When talking about the person to protect, Jiraiya's eyes unconsciously looked at Tsunade, and then floated in the direction of Konoha through her.
"It's not easy to live!" Tsunade was already lying on the ground weakly, she thought of her father, mother, younger brother, and broken, which of them didn't work hard to live, which one didn't work hard to protect the person she wanted to protect became stronger, but in the end, the dust returned to dust, the earth returned to the earth, leaving her, leaving only her.
"Just because it's not easy, we have to cherish it even more!" Hanyu the hippopotamus, who was already a little unsteady in his footsteps, also lay beside Tsunade.
Since the beginning is also the last to fall, three people together, looking up at the starry sky, telling the past, sad and happy, helpless and proud, a piece of heart that has been collected for many years, was taken out by the three of them to evaluate together, the three of them listened to the past, cried together, laughed together, were sad together, happy together, and fell asleep in the fog under the deep night, with the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed.
Flash Thunder walked out of the darkness, packed up the wine bottles on the ground, and stood in front of the memorial monument, on which not only his comrades-in-arms, but also the former him, the man standing on the top of Konoha, gently brushed his former name, and his heart was only left with happiness and gratitude.
Although he could not stand in the sun as he was, although he could not let his son call him father, he was alive, as they said, so there was hope for him.
The glory and dazzling of the past, let it precipitate in people's memories with that name! Today, he is willing to stand behind them silently, support them, and protect them.
The night was very long, and in this gloomy place, it was even more eerie, if Hippo Hanyu opened his eyes, he could still see those ghosts who died under his hands trying to show their teeth and claws to him, but before he could get closer, he was burned by the white light overflowing from his body.
"Thank you", the primordial spirit of Hippo Hanyu was stronger after all, and he woke up first, looked at the lonely back of the thunderbolt, and walked over.
"Do we need to say thank you?" Thunder smiled, the two of them have gone from acquaintance, to acquaintance, to friendship of life and death, to the same fate, and now, it is indeed a bit redundant to say thank you.
"Thank you, I'm saying it for Tsunade and Kakashi." Hippo Hanyu's finger stopped on the name of Nariori the oil girl, and then continued to slide, "Konoha in the future, please leave it to you." β
