The weather was gloomy and gloomy, and the moisture in the air gradually became more and more humid. The scenery grew darker and darker, as if it were covered in a faint layer of mist.

Thinking that it rained all night last night, maybe it will continue to rain later, and when it was almost time to gather every day, I urged her to go to the street in advance to buy a raincoat while it was not raining, so as not to catch a cold in the rain.

"What about Brother Zhencheng?"

"Me, I've taken a morning off anyway, so I'll spend more time with the teacher here."

"Then, Brother Zhencheng, shall I go first? I'll bring you a gift when I get back! ”

"Then thank you in advance." I smiled and waved my hand to Tiantian, and watched her petite figure light like a deer in the forest, and soon disappeared.

I sighed and looked at the teacher's tombstone, and at this moment, I could say something honest that no one could tell me.

"Teacher...... Recently, I've been using that ability again. ”

"It didn't work for so long before, and it's not that it's specifically avoided or taboo, but in daily life, there is really no need to use it...... That's one of my abilities after all, and it's so powerful...... If it can be used to protect the people I want to protect and help me achieve what I want to accomplish, of course, there is nothing wrong with that...... I want to open it now, and it's too stupid to compare the power with my own tools. But...... I've never used it before...... I've built such a deep bond with so many people......"

"At that time, I always felt that if it was the protagonist, maybe there would be no chance, so I used the appearance of [Shippuden: Naruto Uzumaki] to run around outside, and I also used Naruto's appearance to form a fate with Mai outside the fog hidden village. But it's just a dance...... Although they were together for a while, one day, Mai disappeared on her own. Left a letter saying that she didn't want to die by my side, and that I didn't want me to see her sick or something...... Some time ago, I actually saw her in Konoha. It's incredible! Teacher, a lot of things have changed so far, maybe it's all because of me...... But now I feel that everything is changing for the better, but I can't help but feel a little worried......"

"Moreover, what are the Uchiha Kite and Uchiha Sana going to do......" I lowered my voice, almost in an airy voice, "What is the matter now...... It's impossible to just leave them alone, and now the Uchiha Mansion still has Scorpion and Dida...... If I commit any crime in Konoha, then I will be blamed for my death......"

"However, for me, the most important thing is, of course, Tian Tian and Naruko, who are from the 'Masumi' side. Alas, these days are running on both sides, and the two lives are switching between each other, although it is not so lost, but sometimes it really feels very tiring...... Why did things turn out like this? ”

I couldn't help but look up at the lead clouds rolling across the sky.

"Well, sure enough, it's all Mizuki's fault."

I made a joke, but when I looked down and retracted my gaze, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall and beautiful figure standing in the upper left corner of the cemetery.

The back is very familiar, plus the short silver shoulder-length hair - Qimu Qian?

What she worshipped......

Is it Dai Uchiha and Rin Nohara?

…… Obviously, when I came to worship the teacher a few years ago, I had never met it. Sure enough, it's because she was in the dark a few years ago, and now she's a teacher, so the routine is different?

Such a thought flashed through my mind subconsciously, so I withdrew my attention and continued to look at the teacher and said, "When Dida is sent back to Iwakuin Village, when the relationship between Scorpion and Chiyo's mother-in-law is stable, and when Kite and Sana get along better, I will let Uchiha Itachi leave." Teacher, please bless me. ”

I folded my hands, bowed reverently, and took one last look at the silent tombstone, sighed softly, and turned to leave.

In my previous life, I read that Kotaro Isaka once said in a book that the so-called death is nothing more than a return to the state before birth, which is neither terrifying nor painful.

So every time before leaving, I told myself that the teacher was not dead, he was just back in the state where he was not born.

In this way, when he walked out with his back to his tombstone, he would not spontaneously give birth to a kind of desolation and sadness that seemed to leave him alone.

I took a deep breath and never looked back. Because if you turn your head halfway from the tombstone and see it standing there silently, you can't help but stop, and then it is easy to be captured by an inexplicable emotion, indulge in it, and find it difficult to extricate yourself.

Maybe it's because I can't help but think that one day, will I be like him, lying in the dirt, watching the people around him come and go?

And as I reached the door, a few drops of rain fell from the sky, and a few dark water stains spread on my dark black long sleeves.

I quickened my pace and took refuge in the caretaker's hut before the rain began to fall.

"Oh, don't you have an umbrella?" Uncle Caretaker seems to be a retired ninja, guarding the cemetery alone, one hand I don't know what kind of battle I have been through, I have lost two fingers, and my left foot is a little lame.

But he was very affable, and watched me jump into the house and know what was going on as soon as I looked at the sky.

I sighed and smiled embarrassedly, "When I went out in the morning, I thought it would be sunny." ”

"Hahahaha, I just have a few umbrellas here, just to be useful in this situation right now, you can take one and go, just come over when you have time."

"Huh?" I was a little surprised to see Uncle Caretaker pointing to the umbrella basket next to the door, and there were four or five black straight umbrellas in it, as well as a few transparent umbrellas. "Did the uncle buy it himself?"

Obviously, I didn't have it before.

"Uh-huh. But there are very few people who use it! "Some people think that the rain they encounter when sweeping the graves is the tears of the deceased who do not want them to leave, so they stand stupidly in the rain and do not move, and refuse to hold an umbrella for themselves." It's all fools, a bunch of fools, the dead are dead, where will there be tears and rain! It's all nonsense thinking about itself. Like the woman over there, do you see that? The silver-haired one. ”

“…… Yes. Well. "I didn't expect Uncle Administrator to suddenly mention Qi Mu Qian, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment." See. ”

"You're meeting her for the first time here, right? You and your sister usually come here in the morning, and she used to show up in the middle of the night or early in the morning, and sometimes I was startled when I heard the noise and suddenly saw it. It seems to be in the dark, going out at night during the day, and when I come back from a mission at night, sometimes I stand there motionless in a bloody suit, and I stand there for hours. ”

I didn't know what to say, so I chimed in meaninglessly, "...... Is it. ”

"What a fool."

"Why? Maybe it's because there are people buried there who are important to her? ”

"People who can't come out of the past are fools. People who have already looked forward will not let themselves indulge in the cemetery, like her, who will stand here for hours, are people who have no way to come out of the past. Their hearts were left in the past, and they were left in the cemetery with the dead, and they themselves stopped where they were, unable to go any further. You say that a living person has not figured it out for so many years, and has not been able to take his heart away, what is not a fool? Did her dead relatives want her to live like this? If you don't cherish your living self and live so desolate and pitiful for the sake of the dead, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? That's why he said he was a fool. ”

“……”

I was speechless for a moment when the sound of rain outside the house suddenly became tight and urgent.

Uncle Administrator looked out the window and said, "Ahhh That fool is still motionless. ”

I turned my head and looked over, only to see that the heavens and the earth had completely darkened, and the raindrops fell from the sky like a curtain, covering the world with a foggy gray shadow. The silhouette of Akane Hagi turned into a faint shadow, as if it had become a statue silently in the rain.

That scene is really depressing and uncomfortable to watch.

"I'll go find her." I didn't know what I was talking to Uncle Administrator, and before he could reply, I picked up a big black umbrella and rushed into the rain.
