NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59
Late at night, Uchiha Kagami sat alone on the Hokage Rock, overlooking the Leaf Village in a daze.
Just when he was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed the movement behind him. He turned his head slightly. Before he could see the person clearly, the faint smell of alcohol drifted into his nose.
"Clan leader? Jing was a little surprised, but frowned slightly,"Why are you here?""
"Mirror, you are indeed here."Uchiha Fire Core waved his hand and gave a wry smile,"Well...I am a person who gets carried away easily when I drink too much. I may have said some very outrageous things just now, so don't take it to heart."
"I...I'm actually not that sensitive……"Jing scratched his head, and suddenly felt at a loss when facing Huo He's sincere eyes,"I just like to be quiet."
Huo He came over, Jing wanted to get up, but was gently held down by Huo He.
"patriarch……"
"Don't think of me as an elder, Jing. In fact, I'm just as young as you.
Huohe smiled and blinked, then sat beside the mirror and looked down at Konoha Village with him."Ah, it turns out the scenery here is like this. Haha, it's quiet and comfortable, which is pretty good.""
Jing was a little surprised,"Isn't the clan holding a cocktail party? At this time, you should stay in the clan."
"I stay in the clan to accompany my clansmen."Huo He looked at the brightly lit clan land in the distance, his eyes wandering,"Jing is also a member of my clan."
"I……"Jing suddenly lowered his eyes, and something in his heart twitched slightly.
"As for me, I actually don’t think I’m qualified to be the leader of the clan. After all, my predecessor was too outstanding and no one can compare with me. This is obvious to all. I’m in the position because of everyone’s praise. Huo
He leaned back, supporting his body with both hands, looking slouched,"I know that I have many shortcomings, and many times I can't pay attention to everyone's emotions. So, when you have something bothering you, you can just talk to me." I said."
Jing hesitated a little and remained silent without speaking.
"You are actually... very lonely, right?"
"！！！"
Jing suddenly raised his head and denied it:"How could it be possible? I have a group of reliable companions, respected teachers, and clan members who are as loving as brothers. How could I be lonely?"
"Haha, are we really brothers and sisters? You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Huo He smiled and said:"After being the leader of the clan for so many years, don't I know how many people in the clan are unsociable?" There is one of you among them"
"I...the patriarch, I actually don’t have any……"
"You've always been like this, you start to stutter when you're nervous. Huo He patted his shoulder:"Is it because of your brother?" Because he left the village with Madara-sama, you can't let go?
Jing corrected in a low voice:"It's a rebellion against the village."……"
"It doesn't matter, just say it's because of him, right?"
"No matter what, he is my brother. Over the years, every time I think about that night, I feel extremely painful. Jing's voice was weak,"If it hadn't been for me, those companions wouldn't have died."……"
"Do you think you killed them?"
"Well, I have always felt that I am a sinner, and that I am the culprit of the killings. Therefore, whether it is the village or the clan, I have no face to face it. I can't really integrate myself into it. I can't do it.……"
Jing felt a little cold and her body twitched slightly,"I... am the sinner.……"
Huo He stared at him for a while, with deep eyes. After a while, he suddenly said:"If I kill Uchiha Shenyu and let him die in front of you, do you think you can let go?"
"Patriarch, you……"Jing was startled and said quickly:"Don't go and die. He is very strong and terrifying. He is not inferior to the shadow level. We haven't seen him for 6 years. Who knows how powerful he will be!" The fire core was displayed. Waving his hand,"I'm just making an analogy, if he dies, will you let go of all this?""
"I……"Jing took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and he looked at the fire core,"Clan leader, no matter how many crimes he has committed, he is my brother. If one day, I bring him back to the village, if I have to die, To convict him, I hope I can trade my life for him... I know this is too much, but I also said that if it hadn't been for me, things wouldn't have ended up like this.……"
Huo He looked into his eyes quietly, his eyes as calm as the surface of a lake, and he was rarely silent.
"Patriarch, I only hope that you can support me and be on my side when the time comes!"
"Do you support your death for him?"Huo He looked up at the night sky, the stars were twinkling, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I get it. I didn’t expect that this is what Jing had in mind.……"
Jing lowered his head, a little uninterested,"Clan leader, do you think my idea is naive?"
"No."
Unexpectedly, Huo He stood up and gave him a hug, saying softly:"Thank you for your hard work these years."
Jing's mind went blank. While he was still dazed, Huo He stood up, slapped his butt, and said haha:"Oh, it's a little more sensational. It's night, and it's getting colder... Go back early, tomorrow The dinner party is the highlight……"
Jingmu saw him off, and then looked at the still lively Konoha Village, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After opening my heart, the feeling of loneliness in the world has been diluted a lot.……
……
The next day, the dinner was held as scheduled.
Inside the Hokage Building.
The restaurant was already packed with people at this moment. The burgundy ceiling, the walls decorated with flowers, the expensive carpets, and the lights were shining with a gorgeous color between blood and roses.
The long table was full of people, and it was very lively. The sumptuous dishes were neatly presented, fragrant and steaming. Not only the shadows of the other four ninja villages, but also their guards were invited to the table.
"First of all, I really want to thank you all for participating in Tsunade's 100-day banquet. If only the five major countries could continue like this……"
Senju Hashirama was dressed in white and sat at the main seat. As he spoke, he showed his true feelings and actually shed tears.
Tobirama, who was sitting in the second seat, silently covered his face and said in a low and serious voice:"Brother, you are the strongest Kage, there is no need to be like this!"
"But……"Hashirama looked at his brother with tearful eyes,"I'm so touched.……"
"Haha, Hashirama-dono is still as genuine as before." Raikage ate the chicken drumsticks and sighed.
Kazekage answered:"Speaking of which, time is really unforgiving. Six years have passed and we are all more or less old. Take Kirigakure and Iwagakure for example. The guards who participated in the Five Kage Conference have all been promoted to Kage, but the Hokage is still young."
"Humph, the Kazekage was joking."Kiden Huanyue touched his mustache and winked,"Hashirama-dono is the god of the ninja world, how can he be compared to the old stone from Iwagakure Village?"
"Think about yourself first before talking about others. This is what brainless people do. They scold themselves without even realizing it."Directly opposite, the second generation Tsuchikage Mu replied with a muffled voice.
"Brainless person? Look at your appearance, you are neither human nor ghost, but you still have the nerve to criticize others?"Huanyue spread her hands and sneered:"But I can't blame you. After all, you Yanyin Village are all crooked melons and cracked jujubes. How can any of them look like normal people?
He pointed casually,"Hey, that dwarf over there, if you don't come to the table, I won't even be able to see you!""
Behind Wu, Two-Day Scale Ohnoki stood like a follower, staring at the Kirigakure people with unkind eyes, and put his hands together.
"Calm down, Ohnoki, we don't���Yu is angry with the stupid donkey."Wu glanced at his disciple
"Bandage man, if you dare to curse me again, I will send you to the grave directly!" Huanyue stood up with undisguised murderous intent.
"Hello! Tobirama knocked on the table,"On the big day, neither eldest brother nor I want to see blood. Besides, don't forget……"
He drawled a long voice, causing everyone to listen unconsciously,"Uchiha Madara, he's not dead yet.……"
