4. Break the cage
Last night, there was an autumn rain, the courtyard was full of fallen leaves, and an old tree was swaying in the wind, looking a little bleak and sad.
A black cloth was hung in the Hyuga clan's land, and outside the mourning hall that was being built, Sarutobi stopped here.
Many people were in a hurry, and there was a gentle and beautiful woman in a black mourning dress sitting on the innermost kneeling, and Sarutobi remembered her, who was Hinata Hinado's fiancΓ©e, Hinata Ayano.
I heard that he was a childhood sweetheart with Hinata Hinata and grew up together since childhood, and he was happy that this war was over, and the two were going to get married.
He turned away and walked towards another mansion.
Hinata Taigui, the father of the two brothers Hinata Hinata and Hinata Hinata, the previous patriarch of the Hyuga family, and the only remaining clan of Hinata.
"Hokage-sama." Hinata's old face was full of respect, and he saluted the visitor.
"I haven't seen you in a few days, Tae-kyu." Ape Fei Ri said indifferently, and then unceremoniously walked up to the main seat and sat down.
"Hokage-sama is too busy with the war to bother." Hinata Taegyu bowed his head and offered to add tea to him.
White air lingers along the teacup, adding a bit of warmth to the cold and lonely room.
The two old men sat opposite each other, and they both said that the older a person is, the kinder he is, and this is the case in Hinata Taigui, this old man has kind eyebrows and no trace of aggressiveness in his aura.
Originally, it should have been the same with Sarutobi Hinata Slash, but Hinata Taigui felt that the temperament of this third generation Hokage was even more cold and hard than before.
Thinking about it, I suddenly found that the original henchmen were all people with different hearts, and those future memories were undoubtedly a wake-up call in the heart for the ape flying sun!
"Yes, the war is difficult, many things have been delayed, and many people have slowly become estranged." Ape Fei Ri said calmly, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
"There are two advisers Yan and Koharu to help in political affairs, and there are also Shikaku, Jiraiya and Mizuto on the front line, and Hokage-sama is still lucky." Hinata Taigui smiled gently, "Besides, Mizumon is so good, and he will definitely be able to take on the heavy responsibility smoothly in the future." β
Ape Fei Ri put down the teacup, but said, "Whether Konoha has a future or not, I have to say another story." β
Hinata Taigui's face was surprised: "Hokage-sama, what do you mean by this?" β
Sarutobi Hizashi put the two secret letters on the low case, and Hinata Taigui picked them up and looked at them separately.
"Yun Yin and Sha Yin plan to use troops against us again, and Konoha is already strong in the end of the crossbow, I'm afraid I can't withstand it."
"There is such a thing!" Hinata Taigui frowned as he looked at the contents of the letter.
After a long silence, Hinata Taigui said again: "If only one person can be sacrificed in exchange for peace, Hokage-sama should consider the overall situation. β
Ape Fei Hi slashed a slanted glance and said, "This person is your Hinata's clan. β
Hinata Taigui said: "For the sake of the village, it is incumbent on the Hyuga family!" β
Sarutobi sighed: "The Hyuga clan has suffered a great change, and family affairs are important, I have sent someone to the front line to deliver a message, summoning all the ninjas of the Hyuga clan back to mourn for Hinata Clan." β
Hinata Taigui showed a look of surprise: "Hokage-sama, why is this?" When the war is stalemate, they should be on the front lines! β
Sarutobi Hizashi also asked suspiciously, "Didn't you ask that all the ninjas of the Hyuga clan come back for the funeral?" β
Hinata Taigui's face changed for a while, and he sighed heavily: "I don't know anything about this, and it's impossible to do such a thing that ignores the overall situation." β
Ape Feiri's eyes moved slightly, and he said indifferently: "Oh? β
"I'm old, old and dizzy, and I've died suddenly in the day, and it's no longer up to me to say anything in the clan."
"You're a clan."
"Yes, but if I don't have a voice, Hinata won't be separated from the clan, Hokage-sama, isn't it?"
Ape Feiri cut off a finger and tapped lightly on the low table, and Shaoqing asked again: "Among the Hyuga clan, who is in charge now?" β
"The ability to get a day difference is very convincing." Hinata Taegyu said.
Or ...... Never mind. He changed his words, but stopped abruptly in the middle and shook his head slowly.
Of course, Ape Fei Ri Slash knew which name he was going to say, and secretly sneered in his heart.
He wanted to continue to ask, "Or who", and pierced the window paper, but after the silence, the thought was suppressed.
At this time, the situation did not allow him to be anxious.
Ape Fei Ri glanced at the black cloth hanging at the door, and said calmly: "Rizu is also extremely good among his peers. β
Hinata Taigui just said "um".
Hizoku is his biological son.
"He should be buried in the resting place of the hero, and his name should be engraved on the memorial tablet."
ββ¦β¦ Thank you, Hokage-sama. β
Ape Fei Ri rubbed the teacup, drank the remaining tea, and put it back on the table.
On the way back, I passed by the mourning hall that was being built, but the woman who was originally inside walked out at the moment and bowed gently to the ape flying sun.
"Hokage-sama." Hinata Ayano greeted.
"There are many affairs in the clan, the day difference has disappeared for two days, and if there is no task assigned to him in the village, please let Hokage-sama know him, the family needs him to preside over the affairs."
Ape Feiri looked at this gentle woman, dressed in a black mourning dress, with low eyebrows and mournful eyes, anyone who saw it would have pity for such a weak woman.
He just let out a faint "um" and left the family, which was black everywhere.
#
Mizuto once again came to the secret room where Hinata was imprisoned, and the dark part here was replaced, and no one was allowed to enter or leave this place without Hokage's permission.
When I saw the boy again, he was even weaker than the last time, with a hanging bottle hanging next to him for an infusion, and his lips were pale in the dimly lit room.
"Is it Lord Watergate?"
The other party seemed to recognize the footsteps and took the initiative to speak, breathing like a gossamer.
Watergate did not sit down, but stood near him.
"Lord Watergate, can you let me out?"
Watergate's eyes were a little complicated, and he asked, "Have you already guessed what the village is doing to you?" β
A look of doubt appeared on his really weak face: "Didn't Lord Hai already read my memory?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Really bitter: "Could it be that after reading my memory, the village still thinks that I am a threat?" β
"Hai Yi is dead."
Zhen looked stunned and looked dazed: "Why?" β
"He was killed."
I couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Lord Hai a ninja, an elite ninja in the village, who can kill him?" β
Watergate looked sad.
A shinobi, who can kill him......
Only when facing a companion will you be defenseless.
After a brief silence in the narrow room, the sound of the water gate was heard again.
"No one has read your memories, but I choose to believe you because you are a companion in the village, and you were as much a hero as your fallen teammates in previous missions."
Bound hands and feet, unable to see everything, Zhen, listened to the voice coming from a high place, and responded after a moment of silence: "...... Thank you, Lord Watergate. β
Watergate continued, "The village trusts you too, really, join my team and protect the village with me." β
"Can I have a request?"
"Hmm."
Zhen slowly raised his head, his pale eyes open, as if he was looking at the water gate.
"Give me a pair of eyes that can see the world clearly."
