Konoha's journey to find eternal life

Konoha's 52th autumn.

A ray of sunshine, like water, the maple beside the clear path.

The red clouds in the early sky and the white clouds in the late autumn morning light weave into a light silk of congealed crimson.

Saying goodbye to two consecutive days of interrogation, Ryoichi and Uchiha Terakin were finally released by Anbu.

Because the matter involved a very secretive secret, Konoha's senior management did not disclose the details, and also asked Ryoichi and Terakin to keep the mission of the Country of Tea a secret.

Day three.

It is the farewell ceremony of Sarutobi Asiya and Senju Shiori.

The scene was very deserted, because the high-level executives deliberately suppressed the fermentation of the matter, so only the family members and teammates of the two came to the farewell ceremony.

"I will definitely become Hokage..."

When presenting flowers, Uchiha Terakin stared at Shiori's photo and swore heavily.

He was only 12 years old, and Ryoichi didn't mention him, but he seemed to grow up overnight.

He knows what to say and what not to say.

In the past, he wanted to be Hokage because he wanted the girl he liked to worship him.

Now he wants to be Hokage, because only in that position can he avenge the girl he likes!

"sorry."

Ryoichi bowed deeply.

We haven't been together for a long time, but the soul in his 30s can feel that Senju Shiori is always taking care of himself.

Asiya, who had met no more than ten times, used her life to block the enemy's deadly attack.

Ryoichi was very guilty, although he knew that even if he showed his full strength at the beginning, the final result would not change in any way.

But he still felt very guilty. If he hadn't concealed his strength and hesitated for a few seconds, maybe the battle would not have been as cruel.

"Wow... wow... wow..."

Sarutobi Kohamaru in the arms of Takayanagi Keiko kept crying.

But Chieko did not urge Ryoichi and Terakin who had stood in front of the grave for a long time.

Neither the family members of the two nor the ninja who came to see them off behind them did not urge them.

"Let's go, Ryoichi." After a long time, Sijin forced a smile, "Sensei and Shiori definitely don't want to see us depressed."

"Yeah." Ryoichi is not a child, he doesn't need comfort.

He just fell into self-doubt, and strength was never what Ryoichi pursued.

But at this moment, he deeply felt that he was powerless. Apart from blaming himself, he couldn't even avenge the two of them.

Senju Shiori's family only came with two elderly people. Ryoichi only found out later that they had already changed Senju's surname.

Shiori is the future of the Senshou family, and the hope for their family to restore their glory, so she took Senshou as her surname.

"Temple Gold..."

"What's wrong Ryoichi?"

Ryoichi called Terakin, who was about to leave, to stop him. After half a month of life and death, he couldn't bear to see Terakin involved in Uchiha's fate.

When the words came to his lips, he dared not speak them out.

Even if he said it, Si Jin would probably not believe it.

"Two years later, accompany me to practice..."

Uchiha Temple Kin was stunned for a moment, two years later things are still far away.

But seeing Ryoichi's solemn expression, Si Jin nodded: "Well, you will let me know when the time comes."

Sandaime did not attend the farewell ceremony.

It is said that the Kingdom of Thunder put pressure on them, threatening war, and demanded that Konoha's Hinata family hand over the murderer who killed their ninja.

"Please tell Neji, I didn't die to protect the clan, but to protect my brother and the village."

Ryoichi remembered the clip that made him cry, Hinata Nichisai's last words.

It is because of his last words that Hinata Ningji, a character Ryoichi likes very much, was saved.

But even in the face of the threat from the Land of Thunder, as Asiya's father, it's impossible for the third generation to spare even a little time.

Was it because he didn't have the face to face Asiya that he didn't come to the farewell ceremony?

The hell knows.

"Ryoichi..."

When Ryoichi was about to leave, it was Uchiha Templekin's turn to stop him.

Seeing Uchihaji Kin hesitant to speak, Ryoichi actually guessed what he wanted to say.

"What's wrong, Sijin?"

"It's nothing. Even if you figure out something in the future, remember not to say it. Trust me, just leave everything to me."

Uchiha Terakin inexplicably said something that he thought Ryoichi would understand when he grew up.

"Ah."

In fact, I understand what you mean. I am not a child, and I am not that stupid.

The two were able to pass Anbu's cross-examination smoothly because both of them only said what they had seen and what they should say, and did not express their own conjectures, nor did they express anything they should not have.

Ryoichi was worried that Uchiha Terakin would be impulsive and would tell what he guessed, but he didn't expect Uchiha Terakin to remind himself...

In the evening of autumn, the sky is colorful, more beautiful than ever.

The setting sun dyes the surrounding clouds with color, just like the paint under the pen of a painter, spreading out little by little, the whole sky is like a painting.

But the autumn wind is very cold.

Cold like parting by surprise.

Back home, Keiko's warm concern made the coldness of the autumn wind quietly dissipate.

Photon is very strange, Ryoichi felt that he was very strange when he came home from Anbu yesterday.

When facing Ryoichi, he was always hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say.

But Ryoichi didn't think too much, didn't think deeply, just thought it was the change of the Hinata family, which made Mitsuko worry.

"Father... don't worry too much about the Hyuga family..."

Putting the blanket lightly on the shoulders of Mitsuko who was lost in thought, Ryoichi comforted obediently.

"What about the Hinata family?"

Photon came back to his senses, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

The matter of the Hyuga family is Konoha's top secret, where did Ryoichi know about it?

Is he really the "son of prophecy" that Fu Diwan said?

In the past, Photon would have guessed who leaked the news, but today Photon just asked lightly: "Ryoichi, the Kingdom of Thunder shouldn't start a war, right?"

"Of course not."

Ryoichi replied without thinking.

But after he finished speaking, he regretted it, and he was afraid that Photon would think too much and added: "The third ninja war left too many painful memories, and the Kingdom of Thunder will definitely not start a war easily."

But Photon decided that he was the "son of prophecy" that Fudiwan said, and the sentence "of course not" convinced him.

As for Ryoichi's last supplement, Mitsuko didn't believe it at all.

Because the Third Ninja World War was provoked by the Land of Thunder!

How can the country of Thunder, which advocates military expansion, not easily start a war, they are eager to use this to start a war.

Therefore, there must be other reasons why the Kingdom of Thunder did not launch a war.

What could be the reason?

Photon didn't ask, but he seemed to feel much better after knowing that the two countries would not go to war.

Rubbing Liang's head lovingly, the old smile hung on his face again.

"Father, where's my voodowan?"

Yesterday when Ryoichi came home from Anbe, it was very late, and he was in a low mood, so he didn't think of Fuchimaru.

"Vodiwan... Mom is afraid of mice, so I kept it at a friend's house, and I'll pick it up in a few days."

The photon brain was running fast, thinking of a reasonable and perfect excuse to prevaricate.

In fact, poor Fuchimaru is being held in a secret place by him, accepting cruel and brutal torture.

"Father Photon, I don't dare anymore..."

"Master Savior, come back and save the baby..."

In a certain dark prison, Fuchimaru was muttering in despair.
