Building Naruto World

Chapter 172 Someone was assassinated

The waves of fish swimming can now be seen on the lake that has been frozen for a long time. Spring has just arrived in Konoha, but dots of green have already appeared on the earth.

Danzo had not noticed these changes in the past, but since the roots were disbanded, he had a lot more time, and finally had time to wander around Konoha.

As people get older, they like to reminisce about the past, especially when walking in the places where they have lived. It is inevitable that they will be emotionally moved and think of the original appearance of this place or what happened in this place.

Danzo is no exception, but he doesn't stay in crowded places. Maybe he doesn't like the noise there, or maybe because no one goes with him.

Danzo, who was born at the end of the Warring States Period, witnessed the establishment of Konoha with his own eyes, and also witnessed Konoha becoming more and more prosperous.

Danzo's left hand gently stroked the commemorative monument. Most of the friends he had studied with had passed away.

Now he can still think of some people's faces, their dreams, and their former smiles, but these things have rotted with their bodies.

His cold heart was also a little sad. He should be the last person to remember these things.

After they die, the only traces they will leave in this world are their names on this memorial tablet.

And when the commemorative monument is replaced, their names may be replaced by others, and then the last traces of their existence in this world will disappear.

It is more sad to be forgotten than to die in battle.

The reason why old people like to talk about the past so much is not only because they like those glorious days, but also because they like the people in those days. What they fear more than death is forgetting.

They are afraid of forgetting those people, and they are also afraid that they will be forgotten by others.

But when he reacted, he was already old, and there was no child who was willing to listen to him talk about his past.

Not everyone is lucky enough to survive three wars, not to mention that they are still ninjas who must go to the battlefield.

The prosperity that Konoha has become now is closely related to these people who died in the war, but they remain in yesterday forever.

Kakashi, who was on vacation, also came to visit the Memorial Monument to remember his old friend, but he just stood in the distance and waited quietly for Danzo to leave.

There are only many people here on certain days. On weekdays, there are basically no people here, but people who come on normal days usually stay for a long time.

Although Kakashi stayed awake every day, as if nothing could surprise him, this calmness was indeed earned from his miserable first half of life.

His father, friends, teammates, teachers and his wife all left him one after another, and what was even more tragic was that he had witnessed all of these things except the one with Kyuubi.

The story takes Naruto as the main line and tells a passionate story about gaining recognition step by step. When the camera turns to Kakashi, Jiraiya, Itachi and others, it becomes a story full of regrets.

Naruto's success is not only because of his passionate story, but the regrets in it are also an important part of his success.

after all,

There are always some regrets in life

Many people don't want the character Jiraiya to die, but it is precisely because of Jiraiya's death that he pushes Jiraiya to a new level, just like how Wu Jiang's suicide shaped Xiang Yu.

When the sun moved from Kakashi's right hand to his left, Danzo came out of his memories.

He patted the commemorative monument as if patting a former friend.

Danzo looked at the commemorative monument and said his first and last words when he came here.

"How stupid."

Kakashi didn't know what Danzo meant by being stupid, whether it was because they chose to become ninjas, or because they died on the battlefield, or because

But this is no longer important to Kakashi, he has his own opinion.

Kakashi made eye contact with Danzo who was walking out. The two of them responded to each other in a polite manner, but if they were too polite, they would lose a touch of humanity, but they had no friendship in the first place.

Kakashi placed the flowers in front of the commemorative monument as usual and began to reminisce about those years and the people who stayed in those years forever.

After Danzo came out, he walked along the path towards the sparsely populated outskirts of Konoha. The big trees stretched out their arms to the sky.

You can still see the sky here in spring, but when these trees grow leaves in summer, the ground will turn into a starry sky during the day. After the sufficient sunlight is blocked by the leaves, it will only be as big as a thumb when it falls on the ground.

Danzo stroked the dry bark, remembering what this place looked like when he was a child. At that time, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had not yet fallen out, the ninja world was still peaceful, his body was still fine, and those people were also fine. .

They played happily on the spring grass, as if the peaceful time would last forever, and when they were tired, they would lie on the grass and chat.

But as we grew older, we had less and less time to play, and later on, the opportunities to get together became less and less. In the past, we could get everyone together just by shouting on the street. It never happened again.

Further back. . .

It's him and some people who are behind, and they can no longer get together.

After a while, the ground will be covered with grass again. The season is still the same, the location is still the same, but the people are different. . .

Danzo wanted to continue thinking, but his intuition pulled him out of his imagination.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a man wearing a mask was half-kneeling in front of Danzo. The weapon he wore was a well-made tachi. Just the handle of the knife showed its quality.

After the Roots were withdrawn, basically all the members were recruited by Hiruzen's Anbu. From the half-kneeling posture, Danzo felt that this person was a member of the original Roots.

Because even though Anbu and Genbu both wear masks, they still have many differences in details. For example, Hiruzen's Anbu will have a tattoo on his arm, while his Anbu has the tongue bane eradication technique.

Moreover, most of Hiruzen's ANBU were standing when they came to him, and those who were half-kneeling were usually at his base.

Danzo looked down at the half-kneeling man, wondering who this person was.

"What's up"

The masked man raised his head, revealing his black pupils.Although such completely black pupils were rare, Danzo still had no idea who he was.

"Someone high up in Konoha was assassinated, so I was sent to protect your safety."

Danzo nodded and asked calmly.

"Who was assassinated?"

"Shimura Danzo."

Upon hearing this, Danzo realized something was wrong and quickly stepped back. At that moment, he also understood something.

His half-kneeling posture was not at all because he was from the bottom, but because it made it easier for him to move. The same was true for the knife hanging on his waist.
