451 - Hokage Rock, Midsummer's Promise
After leaving Ibhi's home, Shimizu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally arranged everything before this long journey.
Light, he came to the highest point in Konoha - Hokage Rock, where he had stood several times in the past and looked at the entire Konoha Village.
When everything returned to calm again, it seemed that except for a new Hokage statue on the Hokage Rock at some point, the entire Konoha Village was no different from before the Third Ninja World War.
And looking at the lifelike statue of the Great Snake Pill, even Qing Shui had to praise: "It's quite like it." ”
The pair of snake eyes and the smile on the corner of the mouth are very expressive.
"Qing Shui seems to have been here for a long time."
It's Satomi!
Satomi, dressed as a ninja, also came to the highest point of this Konoha and walked to Shimizu's side to stand side by side with him.
"yes, it's a bit ...... Busy. Qing Shui asked curiously, "Do you come here often?" ”
Qing Shui has been accustomed to coming here, and for many years, he has been in the habit of blowing the wind here in a daze.
What about Ksatomi?
"Once in a while, I'll come here when I'm fine." The late summer breeze caressed her hair, and the girl's soft voice continued, "It's just that sometimes I'm curious, what is Shimizu looking at here?" ”
At night, when you look out from the vantage point of this Konoha area, you can see the entire illuminated and peaceful Konoha in the distance.
However, this simple scenery is obviously not the scope of discussion between the two people.
"Here...... You can see yourself clearly. ”
"It's the same as what Hizashi's predecessors said, Qing Shui, you've always been preoccupied."
Qing Shui suddenly realized, sure enough, in the last Wuyin operation, the day difference was here to probe his mouth!
I just don't know if this is the self-made idea of the day difference, or the expectations of the girl in front of me?
"It's this kind of you who can achieve everything you have today."
"Actually...... I ......"
Qing Shui didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Huh?!" The pair of ethereal, magnificent eyes with a powerful blood inheritance limit looked over curiously.
Qing Shui turned his head and met the girl's eyes.
Because of the close distance, he could even feel the heat exhaled by the other party.
"Maybe after a few months, it won't be so busy anymore."
"Qing Shui, you seem to be a frequent liar."
Which bastard is so malicious in the village?!
Seeing Qing Shui's confused face, Satomi immediately smiled: "I lied to you." ”
This time, it was Qing Shui who looked at it.
After a while, he explained: "After this summer, a lot of things ...... There will be a result. ”
Whether it's good or bad, life or death, everything will settle after this summer.
"So...... Satomi looked at Konoha again at the serene and peaceful place beneath the Hokage, "The elders of the family have a high opinion of you, and they all say that you can create a greater era than the first Hokage. ”
Even compared him directly to the first generation of Hokage, is it because he thinks he can defeat the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow and the Eight-Tails Pillar Force?
Maybe it's because they're also supporters of Orochimaru's grand blueprint, and if they want to achieve that great cause, they can't do without the full support of someone like Shimizu, who can crush all the masters of the ninja world with absolute strength.
Create an era or something...... These illusory futures never appeared in Shimizu's consideration.
He had always wanted only those whom he wished to protect, from war.
And to do all this, what is needed is an absolutely powerful Konoha and a strong man who is in the world.
"They think too highly of me."
"Qing Shui, do you feel pressured?"
"I don't care what others think......" Qing Shui shook his head, he didn't care about this kind of false name, it was just the strength of the first Hokage, and I am afraid that no one has been able to see it except for those old immortals.
That's a man who defeated Madara in his heyday with absolute strength in a frontal battlefield!
"It's just that my strength is really insufficient, and last time I relied on opportunism to win the fourth generation of Lei Ying."
And when it came to the last operation of fog concealment, Satomi immediately thought of another thing.
"By the way, Qing Shui, in the last operation against the fog, I found Obito and Lin ......"
"Ah, I know." Qing Shui nodded and said, "Orochimaru has already told me." ”
"I haven't seen them in a long time......"
The two little ghosts are people who have always been close to Shimizu, and Satomi is naturally familiar with them, and since she knew that they had defected to Konoha, the girl also felt sorry for them.
"The intelligence of the Konoha Shadow Department shows that they are doing well." Qing Shui then asked, "It's you, why did you go to the front again." ”
"During that time, there were really no more people in the family. The situation was critical, so I had to go back. Satomi sighed softly, "And when the mission was over, they and Hokage-sama said that the orphanage wasn't for me. ”
The current Konoha Orphanage has been controlled by the root since it was replaced by the pharmacist Nonoyu as the director.
Qing Shui naturally hoped that Satomi would not be disturbed by the roots, so when she couldn't go back to the orphanage, he naturally contributed.
"It really doesn't work."
"Why do you all say that?" Satomi asked curiously.
For a moment, the girl mistakenly thought that she was not doing well enough.
"Yakushi Nonoyu is the one of the roots."
"Ah......" Satomi exclaimed in a low voice.
"I can't imagine that such an amiable person is a ninja of the root."
The girl nodded subconsciously.
"It's not just him, but there are a number of people who have been trained by the roots, such as the medicine man who often pesters you."
For Qing Shui's words, Satomi naturally didn't doubt it, she just widened her eyes, quite shocked.
"Now the orphanage has become a forbidden area for Roots, what do you say in the past......" Qing Shui didn't continue, Satomi naturally knew about Roots' notorious bad deeds, so he continued to ask, "Then what are your plans next?" ”
"Hokage-sama suggested that I become the teacher of this new class of Shinobi."
"That's a good idea."
This is actually what Shimizu means, if you want to return to the life of a ninja, then becoming a teacher of a newly graduated shinobi is also a good choice, because it means that you don't have to face those high-risk tasks anymore.
"I'm still thinking about ......"
"Do you have a goal in mind?"
"Maybe it's a good idea to be a teacher at a ninja school?"
"Do you like kids a lot?"
Satomi shook her head: "It's just that sometimes when I see them, it's like seeing Kazumo." ”
Hinata and Cloud, who was once the genius of the Hyuga clan and is also the younger brother of Satomi, have died in the Third Ninja World War.
Although years have passed since this incident, and the sadness has gradually faded with the passage of time, the wound in my heart may take a lifetime to heal.
"Don't talk about that, the war is over." There was a faint smile with an unconcealable pain.
"Well, it's all in the past."
"Why don't you help me see if you want to be a teacher at a ninja school or a teacher at a ninja class?"
"Let's get off the teacher of the ninja class."
"Sure enough......," Satomi affirmed, "I knew it was arranged for me by Shimizu." ”
"How is that possible?" Although I don't know how the girl made a judgment, Qing Shui will never admit it, "I'm just a personal suggestion." ”
The next moment, his eyes like white pearls stared straight at Qing Shui.
"How could I lie." Qing Shui had to bite the bullet and say, "I never lie." ”
Whether Qing Shui will deceive people or not has a clear conclusion in the hearts of many people.
But as far as this night is concerned, this so-called truth is actually not important in Satomi's heart.
After waiting here for an unknown number of days and nights, Hokage finally had an affirmative answer.
Because at this moment, the only thing that lingers in the girl's heart is Qing Shui's sentence "After this summer, everything will have a result".
This is the so-called midsummer promise.
This is destined to be a night of insomnia for many.
