Konoha no Shen

Shen's home.

A shadowy corner.

Kakashi squatted there, his head hanging between his legs, with Twilight Shen's words just echoing in his mind.

"Do you need a reason to become stronger?"

"Only when you are strong enough can you protect what you want to protect."

Shen's words overlapped with the scene that he couldn't forget in his mind recently.

His breathing became rapid and erratic.

"Lin, if I had been strong enough, you wouldn't have had to die!"

His friend was killed by his own hands.

That scene has almost become Kakashi's inner demon, a nightmare that he still can't forget.

There are many miserable people in the entire Hokage, but there has never been one as miserable as Kakashi.

My mother died shortly after she was born, and my father committed suicide when he was young. A few years later, he lost one eye, and then his friend died in front of him, and the Sharingan was given to him.

Not long after this happened, another friend also died in his own hands!

This was originally the most painful thing in the world, but in less than a year, Master and Master's wife died at the same time.

Kakashi didn't even know how he survived.

If there is a person who deserves to be blackened the most in this world, it must be him, but he has not. He has been performing tasks silently, and even has to endure the criticism and indifference of many colleagues.

As for the insane wave Runtu or Kurotsuchi and the likes of Nagato Orochimaru, hehehe.

I don't know how long it took, but Kakashi raised his head. His dead fish eyes were a little different from before, just like the originally calm lake water, who didn't know who threw a stone into it, and suddenly there were waves.

The whole person seems to be different, but it seems that nothing has changed.

All of this was shrouded in darkness, and even he himself didn't quite understand what impact it would have in the future.

Who knows what will happen next.

……

……

early morning.

After changing shifts as usual, Kakashi was still very energetic after not sleeping all night. As expected, he was still young. The main reason was that he hadn't started reading the book "Intimate Love in Paradise" and he didn't have any bad hobbies.

Not like Yazi who couldn't wake up every day.

And it’s not a lie. If you want to watch "Intimate Love in Heaven" every day, just like you watch "Golden Scales" and "****" every day, is that not a lie?

Shen's biological clock is on time.

It gets late in the winter, and when I wake up in the morning, it’s just getting dark outside.

Shen followed his previous plan to train, make breakfast, and join Hayate and the others outside the village to continue learning swordsmanship.

It takes a lot of time to practice to master any skill, especially swordsmanship, which requires long-term persistence.

It may even require you to study hard for a lifetime.

The ANBU member responsible for protecting Shen finally understood why a little kid who had not yet graduated could be so powerful. Based on his level of hard work and his considerable talent, being strong was inevitable.

Even they felt ashamed that they could not train at such an intensity.

The training time always flies by, and I don’t feel much at all. The morning passes by.

When he went back to eat at noon, Shen met Nara Yoshino who was waiting for him.

"Shen, you are so worried about me. I really don't know how to say hello to you. If your uncle Lujiu hadn't mentioned you yesterday, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened."

Nara Yoshino's face was full of worry, "It's our fault for this kind of thing. If I didn't let you go home the night before, nothing would have happened. If something happened to you, how would I explain it to your parents?"

Shen scratched his head and replied: "Don't worry, Aunt Yoshino, I'm fine."

"It's not up to you to decide whether anything happens. Let's do this. From today on, you will stay at your aunt's house. This can also ensure your safety. And for your practice during the holiday, don't go to the wild."

Nara Yoshino spoke quickly and sternly, very much like how she would discipline Shikaku and Shikamaru in the future.

She really regarded Shen as her younger relative, that's why she was so concerned and nervous.

Shen was lying when he said he wasn't moved. Nara Yoshino had no blood relationship with him. Even if it was because she had a good relationship with Twilight Shen's mother who sacrificed her life, it didn't mean she was obligated to take care of him.

The world of ninjas is not all about killing. In fact, there is also a lot of warmth. However, many people will turn a blind eye to these things once they are blinded by hatred.

In fact, the essence is to be self-centered, selfish and self-motivated, thinking that you are saving the world. In fact, the essence is bullshit, it is just too selfish!

Some people do deserve to die, like Danzo, but many more are innocent people.

Naturally, Shen would not agree to Nara Yoshino's request. It was other people's kindness to treat him well, and he could not take it for granted.

Shikamaru is still very young now, and if something goes wrong because of some danger he brought carefully, he will feel guilty to death.

"Aunt Yoshino, you don't have to worry about this."

As soon as Shen finished speaking, he saw that Nara Yoshino was anxious. He quickly explained in a low voice to reassure him, "This is actually what happened. I am also cooperating with the ANBU's actions now..."

In order to find a suitable reason, Shen had to pull out the ANBU to make tiger skins and explained the matter in a low voice.

After Nara Yoshino heard what he said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the 24-hour ANBU protection in the village, it was indeed much safer.

"In this case, Auntie will not ask you to live at home. You will go back to eat with Auntie at noon today. After dinner, I will prepare some first-aid medicine for you."

"Then thank you Aunt Yoshino."

Shen grinned, this time he did not refuse Nara Yoshino's kindness, otherwise Nara Yoshino might be really angry.

Moreover, the medicine of the Nara family is indeed very famous throughout Konoha and even the entire ninja world. It is the pillar industry of the family.

Nara Yoshino, who was still a little emotional at first, was helpless in the face of such a smile. All his emotions were gone: "You, you are so troublesome."

I thought to myself, I don’t know how many little girls this little guy will be fascinated by in the future.

No need to worry about it in the future, even now I don’t know how many little girls are obsessed with it.

……

……

Days go by like this.

As time passed, the entire Konoha began to glow with vitality.

Because the most important festival of the year, the New Year is coming soon.

The village is full of lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Many stores have also started holding New Year promotions.

No matter what, people have to look forward. Although the Nine-Tails Rebellion caused very tragic casualties to Konoha, life must go on.

The arrival of the New Year can undoubtedly dilute the melancholy of quite a few people.

However, there are many things happening in the shadows that ordinary people cannot see.

Danzo is unscrupulous in doing things, and everything is centered on self-interest, but it has to be said that there is absolutely no problem with his abilities.

After Genbu took over the espionage incident, he secretly launched a thunderous operation in the village, and he really gained something.

Of course, this is on the surface, and only the root of the action and Danzo can know the details.

Under the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, there is actually still some restlessness suppressed, and no one knows when it will burst out.

On this day, the New Year has arrived.
