Great Unification of the Ninja World

Chapter 157 Memories of Shikayo Nara!
Following Nara Shikayo all the way, Uchiha Miyue couldn't help thinking about the teacher's intention.

"What could it be? Could it be that...was discovered by Shikadai-sensei?"

He narrowed his eyes and thought so.

Not long after, he and Nara Shikayo came to the living room of Nara's house.

The two sat down.

Looking at the familiar chessboard in front of him, Uchiha Miyue couldn't help showing nostalgia.

"Jianyue, are your hands itchy? Why don't we play shogi?"

"okay!"

Interrupted by the voice, Uchiha Miyue nodded hastily.

At this time, he noticed that Nara Shikayo, who was facing him, was arranging the chess pieces while smiling softly.

"Mr. Shikadai, is there something good about it? You are smiling so happily!"

"Isn't it a good thing that the busy people in the village can come?"

Nara Shikayo put down the last general, raised his head and said with a smile.

"You are blaming me for not coming here!"

Hearing the teacher's joke, Uchiha Jianyue felt inexplicably relieved.

After setting up the flying general, he asked softly.

"Teacher, you guessed it, right?"

"Play chess first, and then talk about other things after playing."

"As ordered!"

The serious look on the man's face made Uchiha Miyue laugh.

"Shikadai-sensei, you are still the same! When facing shogi, you are always so serious."

Shikayo Nara did not respond, and picked up the flying general to eat the golden general in the enemy's formation.

"eat!"

Seeing the man with pineapple hair lowering his head and looking serious, Uchiha Miyue couldn't help but get serious while being moved. He didn't want to ruin the current [-]% winning rate because of carelessness.

"Master, it's not good to be in such a hurry! Eat!"

With his backhand, he took down the flying general who had penetrated into the formation, and Uchiha Mizuki interfered with the man's judgment with a voice full of laughter.

Over the years, the comparison with Nara Shikayo, who has played thousands of games with the boy, has become commonplace.

He judged the situation calmly, and when he saw the flying general rushing out naked from the enemy formation, he rolled his eyes and had an idea.

"on!"

"eat!"

Naturally, Uchiha Jianyue would not let go of the chess pieces that came to him.

Seeing the boy being fooled, Nara Shikayo grinned happily like a child.

"Victory is in sight!"

"It turned out to be like this! So how should you defend Master here?"

"Is the ultimate move in this round actually on the right?"

"That's right! It's over!"

"No, it's not that easy to win against me!"

The two fought with wooden chess pieces like this.

As time went by, gradually, the night outside the window darkened.

inside the house.

Uchiha Jianyue once again played the king hand, and his 100% winning rate has not been broken.

"I lost again!"

Although the teacher's tone sounded a little regretful, his expression was filled with two words - "Have fun".

"Accepted!"

Uchiha Jianyue smiled before bringing up the previous question again.

"Teacher, why did you come to see me today?"

Seeing the man on the opposite side become silent, he waited patiently.

After a while, a mature male voice sounded smoothly in the room.

"Jianyue, are you planning to compete for the position of Hokage?"

"Yes, I have such a plan!"

Uchiha Mizuki nodded, graciously admitting.Facing the teacher who treated him very kindly, he did not choose to hide it.

"I see!"

Nara Shikayo sighed, after all, his disciple and Hokage-sama have come this far.

As a fan of Hokage, he should have killed the boy as soon as he got the answer.

But - at this moment, sitting opposite him is his favorite disciple, the disciple he does not hesitate to pass on his family knowledge, he really can't do it.

The boy on the opposite side seemed to see his entanglement, and said in a heavy tone: "Teacher, don't be entangled. As early as the moment I made up my mind, I was prepared to face everything."

Nara Shikayo stood up and sat down next to the boy.

"Is it worth it?"

"In my opinion, worth it!"

As if waiting for such an affirmative answer, Nara Shikayo patted the boy's head and spoke with memories.

"See the moon, do you know? More than 20 years ago, this place was not Konoha."

"When I was a child, I lived in the most terrifying end of the Warring States period. The big families frantically annexed the small families, and countless people died every day. For those children who are five or six years old, it is considered a safe meal every day. Great happiness."

"I have three older brothers above me, but now, I am the only one standing in front of you."

"So, when Hashirama-sama and Madara-sama joined forces to establish Konoha, turning the family into a village, and dispelling the fog of war, can you imagine the scene of the ninja carnival in that era?"

"I clearly remember that when I woke up from a nap that day, when I opened the door, there were continuous cheers from all directions, from east to west, from south to north, for a whole night."

"Father and mother pulled me and knelt in front of the tombstones of my elder brothers, weeping bitterly. When I was young, I thought that the crying of my parents was painful. After Lu Jiu was born, I realized that at that time, parents should be more happy than painful. .”

"You don't have children, you probably don't understand the feeling of having a child, fighting on the battlefield, and worrying about the child's life and death at the same time, the feeling of being a parent?"

"It is said that children are the flesh that fell from their parents, but the most common tragedy in the Warring States period was that the parents came back with injuries, but the children were attacked by the enemy and died. Or the children who were still babbling, because of an inexplicable accident Fight, lose parents."

"In such a precarious age, the loss of parents undoubtedly pronounced the death of these ignorant lives."

"Four years ago, what Hokage-sama did made me see the terrifying, old reincarnation. Integrating into the village and becoming a part of the village is what all the families, including Ikabuta, are trying to do."

"Without a village, there is no struggle. Where people's hearts aspire, where power lies. I never expect Konoha to be a piece of iron, a sweet poem, but—leaving a bottom line for the loser is my lifelong pursuit!"

"After the great change, I have been to the land of the Thousand Hands and the Pommel Horses. There, I felt the desolation and despair. I saw the dead silence written in the eyes of a boy your age. The child whose parents returned home saw the little girl whose eyes were red from crying behind the half-opened door."

"This scene makes me feel like I have returned to the scene when I was a child, fighting among the children, waiting for my parents' return with eager anticipation."

"At that time, what I was most afraid of was looking past the end of the crowd and not being able to see my parents."
