[Comprehensive] The Ritual of Blame Evil

Perhaps one's own destiny and ending can be rewritten by oneself, but the fate of others, the final ending, is still not up to one's turn to rewrite.

This is what Gintoki thought when he could only calmly face what was destined to happen.

******

Konoha had an unpleasant atmosphere. Gintoki didn't like it, and neither did Seven Kills. Gintoki attributed this to the fault of the war.

Konoha does not lack geniuses, nor does it lack heroes. The ninjas who sacrificed for the village are Konoha's heroes.

But... what is a hero?

Qisha usually sleeps very lightly, not to mention that Konoha is in a vigilant atmosphere recently, and Qisha will wake up whenever there is any movement, but this time it is not that there is any movement that wakes Qisha up, but She smelled a smell of blood, Qisha sat up slowly, and Yin Shi, who was sleeping on the side, felt Qisha's movement, opened his sleepy eyes, and asked sleepily:

"What's wrong? Ah Qi?"

"...It smells bloody."

Qisha replied lightly, still a little puzzled in his tone, with a bad feeling in his heart, Qisha got out of bed and wanted to go out to see what happened, Yin Shi, who couldn't let go of his mind, rubbed his eyes and followed Qisha out, but he didn't go for a long time Step by step, even Yinshi himself smelled a strong smell of blood, which made Yinshi's mind sober.

When the two walked to the hall, the scene they saw surprised them so much that they stopped and could no longer take a step forward.

Blood, a lot of blood, dripped on the floor.

Blood flowed from the body of the man lying on the floor, gathering into a pool of blood.

That man is Hatake Sakumo.

Her long silver hair was stained red with blood, and she curled up on the ground. Hatake Shirato, whom Konoha admired, just fell to the ground...and died.

boom! !

Lightning accompanied by thunder, the flash of light lit up the unlit hall, Gintoki and Seven Kills saw a figure standing next to Hatake Sakumo's body, the thin, stiff Kakashi, He stood beside his father's body, staring blankly, without saying a word.

"Kakashi."

Seven kills yelled softly, but Kakashi didn't respond, he just looked at Hatake Sakumo's body, staring intently, as if his father would come back to life in the next moment, as usual, Seven kills pursed his lips, It seemed that he wanted to say something consoling, and Yinshi also thought that Qisha would say something consoling, but Qisha just curled his lips as if he had thought about it and still didn't open his mouth, just stood beside Yinshi quietly Looking at Kakashi.

It seems that there is nothing that the third generation does not know. After a short time, many people came to the quiet Hatake House. The masked ninja handled Hatake Sakumo's body. Kakashi seemed to move and watched quietly. The pool of blood left by Sakumo Hatake, besides Sandaime, Minakaze Minato also came, the gentle man saw Seven Kill and Gintoki standing aside and didn't intend to speak, he sighed helplessly, knelt down and touched it Kakashi's silver hair, Namikaze Minato felt that such a thing was too cruel for Kakashi who was only seven years old.

"Ah... Mr. Bofeng is really a good boy."

Seeing Namikaze Minato comforting Kakashi, Gintoki sighed sincerely.

"Gintoki, why didn't you go to comfort Kakashi?"

Seven kills thought that Gintoki would go to comfort Kakashi, so she thought it didn't matter if she couldn't say anything, but in the end Gintoki also stood quietly by the side like her, leaving Kakashi to face it alone. with such a thing.

"Ah, that, because Yinsang can't do it, comforting this kind of thing, it's useless to talk about it, the wound is there, it's not what I personally experienced, comforting others is not comforting at all, something we can do, It’s just to accompany him out of the pain.”

I have grieved before, so I know that comforting is useless. In the end, I still lick the wound, and I still bear the grief. When Teacher Songyang died, Ah Qi walked with me, but when Ah Qi left , he can only lick his wound alone, so don't say words to comfort this kind of weakness, it's useless at all.

"Well, that's what I said."

Seven kills nodded in agreement with Gintoki's words, his bland appearance was too indifferent to Hatake Sakumo's death, Gintoki lowered his head and looked at Seven Kills sideways, he had seen the girl lower her eyes before, but her true heart was not It looks so plain on the surface, although Yinshi still has the look of dead fish eyes, but his expression is faintly gentle:

"Ah Qi, it's you, you obviously wanted to say something just now, why didn't you say it?"

Why not say it?

Qisha frowned in distress, sighed softly, seemed really helpless, really distressed, Qisha said softly:

"Because... I don't know what to say, Yinshi, you also said that it is not comfort from personal experience, no matter how much comfort you give, it is useless, but I am not sure, whether what I said are words of comfort, I am not I don't understand how I felt after my father died."

Unlike Kakashi, in Kakashi's heart, Hatake Sakumo is his hero, and his father is great and admirable. Kakashi grew up beside such a father in his childhood, The death of Hatake Sakumo, to Kakashi, was like the collapse of a world, everything that supported him fell apart, but the father of Seven Kills, he was a real hero, a hero of chaos, and he ended up being Banished to a small island for eternal life, Qisha spent her childhood with her mother caring about her sister and her father nurturing Qihua. She was neglected, unnecessary, and even more not allowed to exist.

"If it wasn't my younger brother who killed my father, then I would be the one who did it."

It was probably the first time talking about his family, and Yinshi's expression looked a little surprised:

"Ah, Qi, you still have family."

"Do you think I popped out of a peach, or did the teacher go to the supermarket to buy two hundred and give it away?"

No, you don't have to doubt that you were raised by a gorilla with such a powerful skill!

"Ah Qi, you still have a younger brother, is your younger brother strong and strong?"

Yinshi imagined the appearance of Qisha's younger brother, but because of Qisha's small size, Yinshi could only imagine that Qisha's younger brother was also thin and short. Therefore, after a long time, Yinshi saw a tall and solid man. When the burly man claimed to be Qisha's younger brother, Yinshi felt that a certain imagination in his heart was shattered, and the dignity of the so-called brother-in-law was severely trampled on.

"Well, actually, I still have an older sister, but my older sister was killed by my younger brother, and now only my younger brother is left."

This is the misfortune of the family.

"So, where is my brother now?"

"Well, I came to Edo with me, but I lost it."

Yinshi twitched the corners of his mouth subtly, with such a sister and brother, you must thrive.

******

Hatake Sakumo's glorious life, big and small achievements are amazing. Konoha's Hatake Hakuba sounds like a thunder to any ninja in the ninja village, but such a great ninja even engraved his name on the comforter. There is no qualification for the monument.

How ironic is that?

The names engraved on the Memorial Monument are all heroes, if even Hatake Sakumo is not a hero...

So... what is a hero?

This man's countless victories, countless missions completed with his life, were finally obliterated by only one mission.

Is it worth it?

Hatake Sakumo's last mission was not understood by others. He saved his companion and caused the village to suffer losses. Everyone was blaming this man, even the rescued companion was blaming him. Gintoki and Qisha It's just that he knew these things more or less, and what happened next was Sakumo Hatake's sudden suicide.

Kakashi was only seven years old and had just been promoted to the Chunin. Even the much-anticipated genius couldn't afford this kind of growth.

Few people came to Sakumo Hatake’s memorial service. The family of Sakumo Hatake was small, but the third generation came, Minakaze Minato, Jiraiya and Orochimaru came, and Sakumo Hatake’s family came. None of the old friends, Sakumo Hatake’s teammates came. For them, it’s not Shirato Konoha who died now, but a coward who caused the village to suffer losses and finally committed suicide. Kakashi remained expressionless during the bleak memorial service Looking at it, even with a mask on his face, the child's eyes are flat and innocent.

Yinshi glanced at the people present, and couldn't help but lament the coldness of people's hearts.

Ninja, what an annoying profession.

"Kakashi, I will trouble you to take care of this child in the future."

Before leaving, the third generation said to Gintoki and Seven Kills earnestly, this incident hit Kakashi very hard, but the third generation also knew that he had to pay certain responsibilities. Kakashi not only lost a father, he also lost his father. An excellent ninja, even though this mission caused huge losses to Konoha, Hatake White Fang is still a rare talent in Konoha, Kakashi has no other relatives, due to premature graduation and too much Excellent talent, Kakashi doesn't even have friends of his age, this child is lonely, the only ones who are close now are these two Gintoki and Seven Kills who live in his house, the third generation can't find a better one than them Good people came to take care of Kakashi.

"Really, Yinsang has already said that Ah Qi and I are not ready to raise a child, so he just pushed the child to us. Does Yinsang look like a nanny?"

Yinshi scratched the back of his head, with a look of disgust on his face, and his elongated tone was obviously unhappy:

"You Konoha let Kakashi lose his father and push the child on us. It's too despicable. If you let others lose their father, you should take responsibility to support Kakashi instead. After all, Ah Qi and I are children Hooligan couple, we can't bear the crime of destroying Konoha's future hope by raising Kakashi into a little hooligan."

"...Oh, despicable."

Sandaime couldn't help laughing, but that smile was too helpless. Even if he protected the village, he couldn't protect everyone. As Hokage, he had too much helplessness.

"Of course Yinsang knows that a village cannot be established by holding hands and laughing, and maintain peace, but ah, a village is built by people, and there are people who have a village, right? If you are forced to death because of the village People, what is the meaning of this village? The village is built by people, but people sacrificed for the village. Yinsang doesn't understand the ninja's code or the importance of tasks, but if it is done for a village, then So many, but in the end they were betrayed, is this village really worth it? What are Konoha's ninjas fighting for, and what are they sacrificing for?"

Gintoki's words let the third generation understand that these two people will never become Konoha's people, and what they care about is more substantive things, but what Konoha wants to protect is not only this village, but also the will of fire. Handed down.

"Yinshi, you don't understand."

Third generation patted Gintoki's shoulder, slowly shook his head, Gintoki's dead fish eyes looked at the straight Kakashi standing alone in the distance and said coolly:

"Is there a reason for saving your companions? Do you need to be blamed for saving your companions? I don't understand. In the ninja world, even saving your companions is wrong, so what else is right? Yes, blame the person who saved his companion? It’s really a world where black and white are upside down.”

"Hehe, Sakata Gintoki, you are really a good person, and you are not suitable to be a ninja at all."

"Of course, Yinsang, I am a man who runs through Bushido. I am a samurai. A samurai does not need a reason to act."

Bushido, really a new term, no wonder it doesn't fit in with ninjas, the third generation looked at Seven Kills to the side, is this woman so strong because of Bushido?

Seven kills nodded belatedly after noticing the sight of the third generation, and said something that he hadn't said for a long time in a light voice:

"I am the sword, the sword of a samurai, and I will kill for him whatever Yinshi wants."

Yinshi's words made Yinshi really want to add something, he rubbed his chin for a while and murmured in a low voice:

"Well, to be more precise, it can be called...'love knife'."

Sakata Gintoki's favorite sword, Qiqisha.

Hey, Lake Toya is crying.

******

Hatake Sakumo lived a glorious life, but the final tombstone is extremely simple. His imperfect exit made many things different.

Kakashi stood in front of the tombstone without saying a word, Qisha and Gintoki also stood behind Kakashi without saying a word, until the sky started to rain, the atmosphere of silence was interrupted.

"Ah, it's raining."

Seven kills stretched out his hand to catch the dripping rainwater, without the cover of an umbrella, the bean-sized raindrops mercilessly hit the three of them, Gintoki looked at Kakashi's stiff and stubborn body and sighed helplessly:

"Really, the kid will catch a cold when it gets wet in the rain. Yinsang is already very troublesome to take care of the kid, but it is even more troublesome to take care of the sick kid."

The rain wet Kakashi's silver hair, the silver hair that has been raised up seems to be as depressed as Kakashi's mood, the silver hair sticks to the side of the cheek, the rain slides down the cheek, the seven kills can't see Kakashi's face , but the child exudes a sad and lonely atmosphere from top to bottom, Qisha murmured to Yinshi:

"Hey, Gintoki, did you say Kakashi was crying?"

Although Qisha's voice is soft, this place is a quiet place. Except for the sound of rain, Qisha's voice can be heard clearly. This soft and cold sound is like cold rain hitting the body With a sense of coldness, Gintoki rubbed his silver hair, but it was also wet by the rain, and the messy natural curly hair became even more messy after kneading. Tombstone of Sakumo Hatake:

"I don't know, isn't it said that ninjas can't cry?"

Gintoki's words made Kakashi tightly clenched his fists, yes, he is a ninja, and a ninja is just a weapon of war, like a ninja tool, without any emotion or expression.

"But, I hope he cries hard like a kid. Not being able to shed tears when he's sad is like constipation. It's a very painful thing. Just cry hard."

"Don't say any more!"

When Kakashi drank Shigin in one gulp, he didn't want to hear any more words that would make him weak. He obviously spent a lot of effort not to make himself look so weak, not to make himself look so embarrassed, but why did this man take it for granted? The poke hits his weakest spot.

"I am a ninja, I am the son of Hatake Sakumo...I..."

Why should he cry? His father did not sacrifice himself for the village, but committed suicide. The father he admired quickly fell in front of him. Sadness and anger were mixed together. Kakashi was confused, why his father would do this.

"Swipe la la la."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops fell heavily on Kakashi's shoulders, which seemed to be able to overwhelm the child. Along with sadness, Seven Kills slowly walked forward, hugging Kakashi who was soaked from behind. Cassie, feeling the hug behind Kakashi's whole body trembled, and then the shrunken shoulders became more helpless like a wounded little animal. Kakashi, who was seven years old, had only reached Seven Kill's waist. Kakashi hugged her whole body in her arms, feeling the warmth from the people behind her, Kakashi couldn't feel the coldness of the rain, all the raindrops hit Qisha's body, this woman used her seemingly Her thin body shielded him from the rain, and even conveyed warmth, no matter how flat and indifferent her voice was, Kakashi felt a surge of warmth from his heart.

"Just cry, don't worry, Gintoki and I can't see it. After you cry, you are still a ninja and the son of Hatake Sakumo. After you cry, let's go home. Even if Sakumo dies, tomorrow will still exist." .”

Gintoki's words pierced Kakashi's heart fiercely, and Seven Kill's words finally penetrated Kakashi's heart. Whether it was sadness, anger, or confusion, everything turned into a stream of warmth and accumulated in the heart. In the eye sockets, the rain soaked his face, and the tears slid down along the rainwater. Kakashi pursed his lips to keep silent, and the tears couldn't stop streaming down.

"Both of them are worrying guys."

Gintoki looked at Seven Kill's not-so-broad shoulders to shield Kakashi from the rain, the girl who was already wearing thin clothes, the bathrobe on her body was soaked by the rain, and it stuck to her skin, outlining her thinness but also bumps With a well-proportioned figure, Yinshi pulled his hand out of his bosom, and slowly walked forward to embrace the smaller Qisha. Although his body was wet and a bit cold, Qisha could feel Yinshi's presence on her body. Warm breath from the neck.

"If both guys have a cold, Yinsang can't take care of them."

It would be interesting to see such a scene in the cemetery. A young child is hugged by a smaller girl, and two people are hugged by a man who is not considered strong. The three people are surrounded by each other, which is like a family.

"...you don't need to worry about it."

Kakashi lowered his head and said stiffly, with a subtle sob in his voice.

"We don't care about you, who will care about you? Kid, don't be arrogant, you should grow up after crying. Your father's path has already been completed by himself. This is his own choice. It's not our turn to say seven Say eight, but you still have a long way to go."

Gintoki rubbed Kakashi's silver hair, and hugged the seven kills in his arms a little bit, making the three of them closer together:

"Sa, now our Sakata family should love each other and help each other even more in difficult times, regardless of food or pain."

Now the landlord of Yinsang and Qisha is Kakashi Hatake.

"..."

Kakashi nestled in Qisha's arms for a long time, when Ginshi thought that the boy was buried in his chest, Kakashi raised his head, and looked at the two with the dead fish eyes Ginshi was familiar with. The man said in a nonchalant and slightly uncomfortable tone:

"...Who belongs to your Sakata family?"

"Well, it turns out that Sakata Kakashi is a bit ugly, hey, Sakata's seven kills are quite good."

Gintoki touched his chin and sighed, Kakashi twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely and growled:

"Who is Sakata Kakashi!"

******

"Okay, don't put on a bitter face. When you are sad, you are sad, and when you eat, you are eating. Later, you will swallow your sadness with your meal."

Gintoki led Seven Kills with one hand, and Kakashi with the other into a small restaurant, all three of them got soaked, and wet the floor when they entered the shop.

"Boss, I'm sorry, all three."

"Ouch, guests, did you go swimming in the lake? Wait, I'll get you a towel."

The villagers in Konoha are really simple and honest. The boss brought three towels and even a pot of hot tea.

"That guy Hatake Baiya committed suicide just like that."

Hearing this topic being discussed at the next table, the three of Yinshi paused in sync.

"Probably because he failed the mission and committed suicide because of guilt. After all, he gave up that mission and caused Konoha a lot of losses."

The other person said coldly, and the words he said were extremely harsh.

"Hey, don't say that, Hatake Baiya didn't give up that mission because he saved you."

"!!"

Kakashi's pupils widened suddenly, and he looked at the people at the next table in disbelief, as if he wanted to see what those people looked like.

"I have the consciousness of sacrificing for the mission. It is a shame to me that Sakumo Hatake gave up the mission to save me. I don't need him to save me. The mission comes first."

The other party seemed to snort coldly, and Kakashi shivered. The rain outside was not as cold as he heard this passage. Because of such a person, because of this man... Kakashi quickly reached out to the chopsticks on the table, but Seven Kills stopped Kakashi's movement one step faster.

"But I didn't expect Hatake Baiya to commit suicide. It's ironic that such a powerful guy died like this in the end. By the way, that guy Baiya has a son, right? I heard he was a genius?"

"It seems to be called Hatake Kakashi. He graduated from ninja school at the age of five. It's really amazing."

"But so what about geniuses? White Fang is also a genius, and it didn't end like this in the end?"

"By the way, I heard that the two mercenaries of Konoha lived in Hatake Baiya's house. After all, they are the guys hired by Konoha, and they are not loyal. Do you think Hatake Baiya was under the influence of the two of them?" The influence of this will lead to the idea of ​​giving up the mission, the village is not the first, save the companions first, what about mercenaries, isn’t that the way of thinking, they don’t have a fixed village, companions are more important.”

"...What you said makes sense."

"Really, I don't know what Hokage-sama is thinking. People like mercenaries are simply untrustworthy. They can do it if they have money. Who knows that these two people will come back to bite us for money."

Kakashi couldn't bear it anymore, this group of people blamed his father for nothing, but they still doubted his loyalty to Konoha, Kakashi's hand was still suppressed by Seven Kills, but Seven Kills' other hand seemed to touch At the sign of the chopsticks, Gintoki stopped Nana's hand and shook his head.

"However, in this period of time, Bai Fang actually committed suicide. It is really an inappropriate time for him to die."

"Shh!"

"What! What's going on?"

All the tea in the cup was spilled on the bodies of the three people next door, and when they turned their heads and could still see Yin Shi, they kept splashing water.

"What are you doing!"

When they discovered Yinshi's actions, the three looked at Yinshi with displeased expressions, and Yinshi's scarlet eyes were covered with a layer of coldness:

"What are you doing? Of course I told you to shut up. What did you say in a jerky way? It made my tea tasteless."

Yinshi slowly put down the teacup, his indifferent eyes swept across the three of them, and the corner of his mouth was raised, his tone was as indifferent as his eyes:

"Hey, talking bad things about the dead people behind their backs will not only cause hemorrhoids but also cause them to fail."

"you!"

The other party seemed to realize something when he looked at Yin, and then looked at the Qisha beside him in surprise, his expression became suddenly:

"You are those two mercenaries!"

"Well... yes, we are those two mercenaries who take money to do things, and will bite you back in the end."

Yinshi held the wooden knife at his waist, and the other party reflexively pulled out the kunai, and Yinshi raised the corner of his mouth to sneer:

"Don't get excited, don't waste the little life you saved so hard like this."

Gintoki's eyes locked on the man in the middle, the one who was rescued by Hatake Sakumo but accused him instead, the other party noticed Gintoki's hostility, frowned and said coldly:

"I don't want to argue with mercenaries."

Yin Shi couldn't help but twitched his lips fiercely, why is this man so glamorous and noble!I really want to beat him!

"Ah? Don't overestimate Yinsang, mercenary or something, Yinsang is just a first-class gangster. Fighting is commonplace. When you see someone you hate, you will want to smoke."

Speaking of Yinshi's wooden knife, he slapped the opponent's face fiercely, with quick and sharp movements, and by the time he realized it, the three of them had been slapped and flew to a corner.

"...Seventh, Kakashi, let's go."

Knocking over the table in the store, everyone heard the loud noise and came to watch, Gintoki pushed Seven Kills and Kakashi to go to another place, Gintoki who turned around couldn't see the man who was thrown into the corner again Standing up, the other party stabbed Ginshi fiercely with kunai in his hand at lightning speed. When everyone thought Gintoki would be attacked by surprise, the silver-haired man sensed the attack behind him and didn't even turn around. Come over, use the hand holding the wooden knife directly to suppress the back of the opponent's hand with the handle, and the trajectory that Kunai wanted to penetrate was abruptly stopped by Yinshi.

"Uh!! Pfft!!!"

Yinshi kicked the opponent away again with a roundabout kick, this time the opponent directly hit the wall and fell to the ground.

"Don't... don't let me hear another word about Hatake Baiya from your mouths."

Seeing Yinshi's serious expression, Kakashi's expression was stunned. This man's dead fish eyes have always been extremely lazy and lazy, and that kind of leisurely tone always makes people want to be beaten. Hands-on, he thought that this man would always treat everything with his calm attitude, but now this man, the figure of the silver-haired man suddenly became stalwart, a reliable, trustworthy back Kakashi suddenly seemed I saw the shadow of my father, not like my own father, but the kind of reliability.

"Yes, damn it."

This time, Yinshi didn't look back and left, but no one thought that the girl who had been silent all this time turned her head, her delicate face and plain expression gave people a sense of handicraft made of porcelain, which was too weak , but something unexpected happened, the girl's deep black eyes suddenly turned red, the scarlet pupils were the same as that of the silver-haired man, but the red pupils were even more surprising because they People are familiar with.

Write round eyes.

"What... uh, ah!!!"

It seemed that the pair of sharing eyes were turning, and when the three of them came to their senses, no, they couldn't be considered to have come to their senses, they were already unconscious.

The illusion of Sharingan is extremely domineering.

monthly reading.

"What you just did was simply unnecessary."

On the way back, Kakashi said calmly, obviously he wanted to thank him in his heart, but what he said was another sentence, Gintoki smiled indifferently:

"Sa, Yinsang has been doing superfluous things."

[Our Sakata family should love each other and help each other even more in difficult times. 】

A long time later, when Hatake Kakashi thinks back on himself in the past, he will suddenly realize that at this moment, Sakata Gintoki and 鑢 Seven Kills helped him a lot, and accompanied him when he was sad. After entering Anbu, he became a teacher and helped him. For many people, the influence of these two people on him still exists, but it is just like this, every time I think of them, my heart will sting.

They helped him so much, but he couldn't help them at all. He helped so many people, but he still couldn't make up for the helplessness he felt when he couldn't help them.

[Obviously agreed, our Sakata family will love each other and help each other in difficult times...why...in the end, I was left alone? 】
