Blacksmiths from Hokage

Chapter 16 Worship
The sky was overcast, with large chunks of dark clouds pressing the sky very low and very low, weighing people down like a broken wall that was about to collapse.

Cangji walked calmly on the street, surrounded by many villagers who were also dressed in black and walked in the same direction.

No one spoke, and walked forward silently, the light in the depths of the eyes dimmed, full of sadness.

call……

The autumn wind blows, and the leaves fall.

The sky above Konoha was shrouded in sadness.

Cangji did not go directly to the memorial monument, but stopped at a flower shop on the way.

To pay homage to deceased parents, it is natural to have flowers.

He stopped at the door and glanced, then stepped inside.

All kinds of fragrant flowers are blowing, and the shop is orderly filled with all kinds of flowers.

"welcome."

A nice female voice sounded inside.

Cangji heard the sound and looked, there was a little loli standing inside the counter.

He is about the same age as himself, with short blond hair, purple-based clothing, and big watery eyes, very cute.

He recognized this man at first sight.

Yamanaka Ino, a member of the new generation of pig deer butterfly.

"Excuse me... do you want to buy flowers?" Ino looked at the boy in black bathrobe with a clean and handsome face, and felt a little nympho in his heart.

This guy looks really good.

"I want a bunch of carnations." Cangichi said indifferently.

Hearing Kuangyoshi's request, Ino was startled, and then reacted.

"OK, just a second."

After 48 years of Konoha, many people come to buy flowers every year today, so prepare in advance.

Ino trotted into the back room and fetched a bunch of carnations and handed it to Kurayoshi.

"Thank you."

Kuangyoshi handed over the money to Ino, then turned around and walked towards the Memorial Monument.

It is indeed worship!

Ino looked at the direction where Kuangyoshi was leaving, with such an expression on his face as expected.

Carnation's words were mourning and longing, and with that black bathrobe and silent expression, she naturally guessed it.

only--

Is he alone?
Are his parents dead?

Obviously about the same size as me, but I have to face everything alone.

However, he is so good-looking, I don't know his name yet!

For a time, Ino's thoughts were full of thoughts.

……

Konoha forest, deep.

There is a huge stone tablet with the names of the dead written all over it.

This is the memorial tablet, and the names of all the heroes who sacrificed for Konoha are engraved on it.

The consolation monument is not complete.

The first Ninja World War, the second Ninja World War, the third Ninja World War, the Nine Tails Rebellion and various crisis missions...

There are too many ninjas in Konoha who have died silently, and the bodies and names have not been found until now.

There are many flowers around the stele, which are worshipped by other villagers.

When Kuangyoshi arrived with a carnation, there was already a person standing in front of the stone tablet.

He was also wearing a black bathrobe, with silver hair and a mask on his face. The front bangs fell down to cover his left eye.

Hatake Kakashi...

Kuruyoshi recited the man's name silently in his heart.

He comes to worship his parents every year today, and every time he can meet Kakashi who came first here, he is not surprised to meet Kakashi here today.

He came to Kakashi's side and quietly placed the flower on the ground in front of the monument.

Quietly, staring at the parents' names on the memorial tablet.

The body trembled slightly.

Born into this world, Cangji was very resistant to his new parents at first. After all, he already had parents in his previous life.

But in the following month, his parents worked tirelessly and took care of him in every possible way, which made him feel their love for him.

Especially on the day of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, in order to protect themselves, the two used their bodies as bait to lure the Nine-Tails away, but they were swept away by One-Tail and the entire street before they even ran a few steps.

Although they have only been together for a month, Kuraki loves his parents very much, even if they never say a word.

"There are too many unfortunate people in this world." Kakashi said suddenly.

His exposed pupils quietly looked at the stone tablet, with sadness hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"Ah, there are too many unfortunate people in this world." Cangji looked at the name on the stone tablet, and clenched his hands tightly, "So I want to be the strongest, and I want myself and the people around me not to be that unfortunate person. ."

Kakashi glanced at Cangichi indifferently, turned and left without stopping too much.

Cangji ignored it and just stood quietly in front of the stone tablet.

Recalling the bits and pieces of that month, I also had it in my previous life, but I never noticed it, some insignificant little things in daily life...

Looking back on it now, it can make him feel a touch of warmth.

Before you know it, time passes.

By the time Kuangyoshi came back to his senses, the sky was already dark.

He glanced at the moon sticking his head out of the clouds, and clenched his hands again.

In this life, I must live without regrets.

……

Tonight is the full moon, and the silver brilliance spreads over the earth, adding a mysterious coat to Konoha.

Cangji sat in front of the desk, with his left knee on the table, his palm on his cheek, and his eyes staring at the moon in a daze.

He can't sleep.

Going to pay homage to his parents today reminds him of the past.

Not just this world, but also past lives...

At that time, he was still an ordinary boy, always surrounded by friends and relatives, but now...

Although Naruto is regarded as a friend, the difference in mental age and thinking makes them have no common topic.

He didn't want to go to Naruto, and he always hid in a remote training ground by himself.

only……

My heart is always empty.

"I still can't stand the loneliness!" Cangji sighed and sighed.

He is not a lonely person, but he knows that the turmoil that will come in the future makes him have to carry the burden.

Because this is a cruel world.

Without strength, there can be no happiness.

However, such a lonely life won't be long. With a god-level forging system, it won't take long for him to have the power to dominate his own destiny.

When it falls, there is no need to practice so lonely every day.

"Come on, Kurayoshi."

Kurayoshi clenched his right fist to cheer himself up.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the clouds on the horizon fluttered to block the moon.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Outside the window, a person suddenly appeared on the opposite pole.

He squatted on the telephone pole, his blood-red eyes stared at it quietly, and three black hook jade slowly spun in his eyes.

Ok?
Kuruyoshi felt the sight falling on him, and looked up suddenly.

It was empty, only the wind was blowing.

"Illusion?"

Cangji was a little puzzled, and was about to take out the book of omniscience to check it.

Suddenly, he felt some changes in the air flow in the room, as if there was one more person.

The action stopped suddenly.

Cangji turned around abruptly, rubbed his right hand in the ninja bag on the back waist, hooked a kunai with his middle finger, took advantage of the situation to rotate, clenched it tightly, and then threw it.

Boom!
Kunai rubbed the man's ear against the wall beside him.

"who are you!?"

Cangji looked up and down at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in the room, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
