Afternoon.

Shin stood on the main road of Konoha with everyone in the Hyuga family, waiting with all the villagers.

The streets were lined with people, and villagers spontaneously hung banners with slogans such as welcoming the heroes home.

There were ignorant children who wanted to go to the middle of the street, and they were held by their parents.

A group of ninja school children stood in the middle of the road, each holding a bouquet of flowers, their little faces nervous, while their teacher comforted them.

The environment was a bit noisy, and you could really hear the noise, the sobbing of people, and more laughter, as if they were all happy about the victory of the war.

After waiting for a long time, I finally heard the shouts of the ninjas returning from the village gate in the distance.

"It's back! They're back! ”

The orchestra, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately began to play music, and its voice was festive and high-pitched.

But the music didn't play for a few seconds but was ordered to stop, which made many people feel strange.

A procession walked through the main gate of Konoha, led not by the three generations of Hokage, but by a carriage covered with black cloth.

Then another carriage was held, and someone craned out his neck to look into the distance outside the village, only to see a long procession of wagons with no end in sight, each carrying a number of corpses, covered with black cloth.

The whole street became dead silent, but the originally suppressed cries were extremely clear at this time.

Men rushed out of the streets in a frenzy and rushed to the convoy to find their loved ones.

The convoy continued on its way to the group of children with bouquets of flowers.

These ninja school children originally wanted to lay flowers for Hokage-sama, and even the person in charge of arranging this link did not expect that the advanced village would be the corpse of the victim.

The teacher hurriedly stepped forward to call back the children and not to get in the way of the heroes.

But a little boy took the initiative to go to the carriage and put the bouquet in his hand on top of the corpse covered with a black cloth.

Seeing this, the other two children spontaneously followed suit.

Three bouquets of flowers, sunflower lilies, chrysanthemums, carnations.

Victory, hometown, gratitude.

Seeing this, the ninja who was driving forward also stopped silently and waited for the children to finish putting out the bouquets.

Such an action made the surrounding people red-eyed, the crying could not stop spreading, and the sad emotions were like ink, blurring little by little.

When all the carriages drove into the village, I saw the three generations of Hokage and a group of Konoha ninjas following behind.

It's just that their faces are heavy one by one, and many of them are still wounded, and they still think that they have returned from defeat.

Konoha is victorious, but the price of this victory is too tragic.

"Hokage-sama!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama!"

More voices rang out, and everyone looked at the three generations of Hokage expectantly, all eager to hear what he had to say.

Ape Feiri couldn't help but stop, looking at the convoy in front of him, and then at the expectant eyes around him.

Today's weather is very clear, and there is not a single cloud in sight.

"Everyone!" Ape Fei took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

"We've won!"

As soon as this sound came out, the mood of the whole street was ignited in an instant, and the overwhelming cheers, some people danced happily, some people roared and shouted like crazy, and some people covered their faces and cried, and the atmosphere reached its climax at this moment.

I really saw the two of Orochimaru and Mizuto behind the three generations of Hokage.

As if sensing a real gaze, Orochimaru glanced at him, his gaze indescribable.

"They're back, they're back!"

She really heard Ayari's excited voice beside her, and she saw Hinata and them following the team.

Ayano also couldn't suppress the excitement, but Riza's eyes were a little complicated.

The Hinata and other members of the team are also waving to the position of the real side, but there are too few people, and I really remember that the Hyuga clan almost went to the front line, there are more than a hundred people, but there are only twenty or thirty people left.

"Really." I heard Natsu's voice beside me again.

"Did you see Iroha?"

Stunned, his eyes surveyed all the Hyuga members of the team.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xia, but saw that her eyes were red and she pursed her lips and said nothing.

I really remembered the boy with a straightforward and cheerful personality, and I came to him to say goodbye when I was leaving.

The relationship between the two is really not very close, it may be affected by the emotions of the people around them, and I really feel a little panicked at the moment.

When the whole team was in the village, there were some convoys carrying supplies at the back.

The crowd left the street and instead followed the Hokage to the plaza under the Hokage building, where the three Hokages would also speak to the villagers.

The people of the Hyuga family also went, but Shin left quietly alone.

He didn't go home, but he didn't know where he wanted to go, all the streets were empty, he wandered aimlessly and alone, and finally found a bench by the side of the road and sat down.

Suddenly there was a cheer from the villagers in the distance, and it was clearly heard from a long distance, maybe it was the Hokage who had spoken something uplifting in the square.

Shinto lay on the bench and quietly looked at the sky.

I don't know how long it was, but the sky was slightly red, and I really heard footsteps in the distance, thinking that the crowd had dispersed.

"You lie like this, it's very unqualified."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side.

Lying on the bench, Shin Wenyan immediately sat up, and the person who was talking next to him he knew, Kakashi Hagi, the one who had saved him on the front line.

"I'm sorry." Shin leaned to the side and gave up half of Kakashi's place.

He seemed a little tired, and after sitting down in his chair, he picked up the kettle and left his face down and drank it.

Zhen looked at him and saw that he was pulling down his mask and drinking water, but before he could take a closer look at the side of his face, the other party pulled the mask on again.

"Why are you here?" I thought about it for a while and asked on my own initiative.

"It's scattered over there." Kakashi said lightly, sitting in the chair and doing nothing else, just leaning there and staring quietly into the distance.

I was really curious why Kakashi had come to this place on this bench, seeing that he didn't mean to talk to him at all, wouldn't it be better to go home if he wanted to rest.

Neither of them took the initiative to speak, and they just sat like this for a long time before Kakashi got up and left, not even saying a word of goodbye.

And shortly after Kakashi left, when Shinya was about to leave, another familiar figure walked towards him.

It's Lynn.

"Zhenjun?" Lynn was surprised when she saw the truth.

"Lynn."

really didn't have honorifics, and the behavior of calling him by his name made Lin even more surprised, thinking that the relationship between the two should not be so close.

"What a coincidence."

"yes." Lynn smiled.

"Is there anything you have here?" Really asked.

"Nothing, just want to sit here for a while."

Sit down for a while...... I really glanced at the bench next to me.

"Is there any special significance here?"

"Huh?"

"Kakashi was here just now, too."

Lin was stunned when she heard this, and immediately said to herself, "He's been here." ”

Then he saw that he was really looking at himself, and hesitated before saying, "...... A friend of mine from before loved to come here. ”

Zhen nodded: "In this way, I won't bother you." ”

Lynn wanted to say that she didn't bother, and she thought it would be rude to let someone leave because of such a thing.

Shinno continued, "It just so happens that I'm going to leave too. ”

The two said goodbye, and really thought that there should be a lot of people who went to the memorial monument today, so these two people would come here.

When he had gone far he looked back again, and Lynn was sitting quietly on the bench alone, the setting sun was falling on her shoulders, and the shadow of one person was stretched long on the ground.
