บท 56: chapter 56 Farewell
Chapter 56 Farewell
March 2, Konoha.
Although spring has arrived, the sky is as gloomy as a crow's wings, the icy rain falls like grains of rice, and the dense sound of ticking is continuous, but there is no pattern at all, which is enough to destroy anyone's good mood.
Hundreds of Uchiha clansmen, dressed in black, stood in the cemetery of Konoha with expressionless faces, saying their final farewells to Uchiha Flame and Uchiha Wen.
This is the result of the discussion between the village and Uchiha. Since Flame and Wen were killed by foreign enemies while performing tasks in the village, they should enter the village cemetery to rest in peace as Konoha ninjas.
In order to stabilize the newly eased relationship between the two parties, Uchiha Fugaku and the clan's jounin agreed to this proposal.
Currently here, in addition to the same clan, there are also jounin who passed the jounin examination with Flame.
Although they were not familiar with Flame, as "fellow students" and attending the funeral out of customary etiquette, the Uchiha clan did not embarrass them.
At the outermost edge of the crowd, Giyu and Sasuke were standing there holding the same umbrella.
Sasuke was still angry with Giyu and kept moving out unsatisfied. Giyu kept tilting the umbrella towards Sasuke's side, causing his shoulders to get wet from the rain.
Seeing that Sasuke still wanted to "clear distance" from Giyu because of yesterday's incident, Uchiha Mikoto behind him pressed Sasuke's shoulders.
"Sasuke, don't be awkward in this situation."
Mikoto's voice was low, but her tone was irrefutable.
Sasuke immediately realized his mistake and could only stand where he was. However, he looked at Giyu's expression from the corner of his eye and found that Giyu's attention was not on him at all, but was quietly looking at Wen's parents who looked sad.
His lips obviously didn't use much force, but they still squeezed into a sharp thin line.
Wen's mother was not a ninja and could only stand with the help of others.
Although Shisui found Flame's body, Wen didn't even leave a single relic. The blow to his mother can be imagined. When he was buried, his family only used his photo and his childhood belongings as an urn and buried them in the memorial monument.
Giyu's left hand unconsciously touched his lower back.
The kunai that Wen used to practice was tied horizontally to Giyu's belt, just to remind him that the real murderer has not yet been caught.
As if aware of the change in temperature around Giyu, Sasuke hesitated for a while, then reluctantly leaned over, putting his arms close to Giyu's, but said nothing. A trace of relief flashed in Mikoto's eyes, and she gently ruffled Sasuke's hair.
At this time, there was a small commotion in the crowd.
The clansmen moved out of the way, and it turned out that the Third Hokage and another old man wearing glasses were walking away. Behind them were several jounin, one of whom was Kakashi.
"Mom, who is that old man with glasses?"
Before Giyu could speak, the curious Sasuke took one step ahead of him and asked this key question.
"That's the advisory elder in the village..."
Upon hearing this, Giyu's facial features suddenly became sharp, but he relaxed because of the second half of his mother's words.
"Mitokado Humara. He presided over Flame's assessment to become a Jonin, so he should come to attend the funeral."
[Not that person. ]
Giyu was a little disappointed, but not surprised.
Shisui said before leaving that the advisor they suspected, Elder Shimura Danzo, rarely appeared in public.
"Who is that guy wearing the forehead protector at an angle? He looks listless."
Sasuke stared at the white-haired man and continued to ask.
"That's Kakashi."
Mikoto said, "Don't look at him for being careless, but he became a Jonin when he was twelve years old. You can't judge a book by its cover, Sasuke."
" Kakashi, I always feel like I heard that somewhere. It's such a bad name."
Sasuke scratched his chin and thought hard for a while.
"Mom has mentioned it before. There was once a child in the clan who entrusted his Sharingan to him before he died." Sasuke remembered. This was the day when he almost injured Itachi. His mother had mentioned it.
However, when he thought about the eyes of his own people on outsiders, Sasuke felt a little unhappy, but he still asked: "Mom, can outsiders also evolve the Sharingan?" He only opened his eyes yesterday, so he was interested in the Sharingan. Interested in all knowledge of the eye.
"Okay."
Mikoto nodded, "Kakashi's Sharingan evolved from the second tomoe to the third tomoe, and it only took less than a year, which is shorter than the time taken by many clansmen."
"Hmph, I will definitely not be worse than him anyway!"
Giyu listened to the conversation between the two, and the corpse of Uchiha Flame appeared in his eyes for no reason.
According to Shisui's judgment, those three tomoe sharingan eyes were probably the real reason why Flame was attacked.
[But, can outsiders really integrate perfectly with the Sharingan? ]
He cast his gaze at Kakashi from a distance, concentrated slightly, and then frowned in shock.
Giyu didn't expect that Kakashi's eyes, like Shisui and his father, had exclusive and unique child powers.
Shisui's child power is green, his father's is black, and Kakashi's left eye child power is sky blue, but it is a little darker than the first two, indicating that there is not much child power. But this is indeed more than the vast majority of people in the clan.
(Kakashi opened the Mangekyō Sharingan at the same time as Obito when he killed Rin)
[That is the Mangekyō Sharingan. ]
Giyu did not forget what Shisui said after he opened his eyes. This kind of Sharingan is the result of the further evolution of the three tomoe, but it is unexpected that it can be seen by outsiders.
But immediately, Giyu thought of another thing - before Flame died, someone had unlocked the illusion that Shisui had covered his mind.
According to Shisui, the conditions for unlocking his genjutsu are very stringent. Either he must be proficient in the sealing technique or the yin-yang release technique, or he must be as strong as him.
If it were an ordinary three-tomoe, he would have to press Uchiha Flame's head and open his eyelids to look at each other for ten minutes. However, judging from the testimony of Cui and Gan at the scene, this possibility is very slim.
[Is it related to this person named Kakashi? ]
Giyu plans to notify Shisui by writing a letter to the crow to see if he has excluded Kakashi when he eliminates the suspicion of ninjas in the village, and then make the next plan.
During this time, he wanted to get to know everything about this person.
Half an hour later, the funeral ended, and most of the clan members gathered around Uchiha Wen's parents and returned to the clan. As the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku had to give a speech at the shrine after returning, so they left together.
Uchiha Mikoto was about to take away the two children when she saw Giyu leave the shelter of the umbrella and walk towards the other two figures stopped in front of the commemorative monument.
One of them had his legs in plaster and was using two crutches to support his weight. The other one has a ring around his neck, which is also difficult to move.
These two people were Cui and Gan who ran away from Konoha Hospital despite the doctor's dissuasion.
Healing Palm can quickly heal the skin and flesh, but it does not help the healing of the bones. According to the doctor's judgment, the two people are still far away from full recovery.
After Giyu walked up to them, Cui and Gan just nodded with red eyes and said nothing.
But Giyu spoke first for the first time.
"The technique that washes you away is called Earth Flowing River."
The two of them turned their heads to stare at Giyu blankly, not knowing why he mentioned this.
"That was not a jutsu released by the enemy, but was done by Uchiha Flame." Giyu's word were like thunder exploded above the three of them, and the lightning illuminated the bloodless faces of Cui and Gan.
"Don't ask yourself meaningless questions like, 'Why didn't I die?'"
Giyu said a sentence that directly touched the hearts of the two based on his own experience in Mount Fujikasane.
"Because letting you live is Uchiha Fire's last wish."
These words were like a switch, completely replacing the guilt in their hearts with sadness, and the tears they had endured all morning were Flowing out like a flood, a bursting dam..
After Giyu said what he wanted to say, he turned around and left.
Under Sasuke's blank gaze, he took the umbrella and planned to leave, but the voice behind him chased him.
"Giyu!"
The mother and son stood down. Sasuke and Mikoto turned around. Gan, who could still move his legs, had already knelt down in the rain.
"Thank you for avenging them!"
Giyu did not look back and continued to move forward numbly. The rain around him seemed to sense his mood, and it fell harder than before.
...
The Land of River, outside the inn in Heli Town.
The six children looked at Rengoku Kyojuro, their eyes full of reluctance, but no one said anything to persuade him to stay.
"Just send it here!"
Kyojuro also didn't feel sad about leaving, but said full of energy: "I have discussed it with the mayor this morning, and he promised me that he will assign the postman job in the town to you. Do it! If you don't have a goal for the time being, just work to support yourself, and keep trying new things at the same time. You will always find what you really like to do!"
Now that the children are out of danger, they are inspired to survive. With hope, Kyojuro no longer has the need to stay here.
If he stays too long, these children will become dependent and will not know how to live without him. This is not the result he wants.
"Brother Kyojuro, will you come back to see us?"
one of the little girls asked, blinking.
"Yes, but not too soon!"
Kyojuro's answer was very simple, "But I will always miss you!"
The children exchanged looks with each other, and it was hard to tell whether they were happy or sad.
Although they wanted to see this reliable figure and hear that loud voice every day, they also understood that Kyojuro had done enough for them.
Apart from living up to Kyojuro's expectations and living strong, they have no other way to repay each other for the time being.
"Before I leave, I have a special gift for you!"
Kyojuro smiled mysteriously and took out six things tied with lanyards from his pocket that looked like shriveled Mushroom.
"This...is this?"
He handed these things to the six people one by one, but the children were confused. They didn't know what they were holding in their hands.
Even Shizune and Tsunade on the side looked at it for a long time before they saw the true face of that thing.
"Can't you recognize it? That doesn't matter, anyway, you have never seen it with your own eyes."
Kyojuro announced the answer, "This is the poisonous sac of the Sanshōuo that those people implanted into your body. This is What it looks like after it is dried."
Two children's faces immediately turned pale, and the dry bags in their hands fell to the ground with a thud.
Among the remaining children, only the oldest Yasujiro was thoughtful, and seemed to understand the purpose of Kyojuro giving them this thing.
"Don't worry, there is no poison in it! Even if it is worn close to the body, it is still safe!"
Kyojuro assured, patting his chest, "The reason why I give this to you is because I want you to always remember that you have defeated Thing!"
"But... but how could we defeat this thing that Miss Shizune removed for us?"
A child asked, his eyes full of doubts.
"No, you persist in surviving until the operation, which in itself is your victory! If you have died before the operation,no matter how skilled she is, what can the doctor do?" Kyojuro clenched his fists and said: "Don't feel that you lack strength and are worthless just because you have received help from others. It is your body's survival instinct that has helped you survive until now!"
"Maybe your life will be smooth in the future, Maybe Difficulties abound! But whenever you can't hold on, take a look at it and you will remember that you have defeated more dangerous things. Don't stop just because of a temporary setback!"
After saying this, the children's faces quickly turned red again. Kyojuro nodded with great satisfaction, then turned to Shizune: "Miss Shizune, let's go! "
Shizune looked at Tsunade.
"Tsunade-sama, during my absence..."
Kyojuro also cast his expectant eyes over, making Tsunade upset.
"I know, I know!"
Tsunade slapped her hands in disgust, "Unless I see some old acquaintance, I will never drink again! "
Shizune smiled with satisfaction, and immediately felt relieved.
"By the way, Shizune, remember to pass my words to the old man and spit out all my things to me, otherwise I will tell everyone about his unique little hobbies. Spread the word and make it known to everyone in the ninja world."
A drop of cold sweat flowed down Shizune's forehead, "I try my best to live up to this mission. "
[Reporting it exactly as it is, can I still walk out of the Hokage's office alive?]
Kyojuro and Shizune turned and left. At their speed, walking is actually faster than riding a carriage. They can reach Konoha by tomorrow night at most. .
But just after walking more than ten meters, Yasujiro's voice came over again.
"Kyojuro, take this!"
There was a sound of wind, and Kyojuro turned around to take it. After a closer look, it was the black Sanshōuo poison sac that Shizune took out from yasujiro's belly. "I don't need this thing, and I will remember what you said!"
From a distance of more than ten meters, Yasujiro shouted loudly: "I already know what I want to do! "
"Oh?" Kyojuro immediately put the thing on his neck, "What is it? Can you tell me? Yasujiro! "
" I -"
Yasujiro mustered up his energy this time and shouted loudly like a declaration: "I want to be the same person as you, Kyojuro!" "
All eyes are focused on him.
"Although I can't be like you now, after you leave, I will definitely take good care of and protect everyone! There is also this aunt with yellow hair who likes to pretend to be young. I will watch her and not let her drink! Please leave with peace of mind!"
"Hey, you brat, who do you think is the aunt? "
Tsunade's irritable voice disrupted the formation.
But Kyojuro was not affected.
"Then I'll wait and see, Yasujiro! And everyone! See you later! "
