Holy patriarchal tool man

Originally, Gojo Satoru didn't realize that this was Hiiragi Eiji's dream, he just saw many fragmentary pictures.

And this picture is discontinuous and illogical. Through such an obvious appearance, Gojo Satoru immediately understood—this is the world of dreams.

Only dreams can be such a broken picture.Soon, he also confirmed who the protagonist of this dream was, a little boy with light-colored hair.

In the beginning, the dream was chaotic and dim, and Gojo Satoru didn't even know what these images meant until the first ray of sunlight appeared in the dream.

"You are free. From now on, don't cling to the memories of the past, and live like an ordinary person." The old voice rang in the dream, and a door was pushed open. Since then, the sun Suddenly.

This is also the opportunity for Gojo Satoru to see the protagonist of the dream clearly.

The young Hiiragi Eiji seemed completely unable to adapt to the strong light. He raised his hand to cover his eyes. After a long delay, he let go of his hand and stared blankly at the blue sky and the vast world in front of him.

At this time, Hiiragi Eiji was only about five or six years old. He didn't have too many expressions on his face, and his reaction to the outside world seemed to be very slow.

His appearance at this moment is very different from the him Wujo Satoru knew.

Soon, the dream illogically came to the time when Eiji Hiiragi had grown up a bit.

The little radish, who has begun to have the delicate features of the future, just stood calmly beside the high cliff, his eyes calmly staring at the scene below.

Gojo Gojo watched helplessly as he started to move forward. Just as his scalp was numb, someone rushed from behind Eiji Eiji, grabbed his collar and pulled him backwards. Seconds later, the two fell to the ground together.

"Your action just now was dangerous! You almost fell!" A blond kid shouted to Hiiragi Eiji.

The two are about the same age, and compared to the expressionless Hiiragi Eiji, the expression on the face of the blond kid is so vivid.

The screen was broken again, and it came directly to the next key node.

"...What? Is there nowhere to go? Hmm..." The blond kid rubbed his chin in an old-fashioned way, "I really can't help you, so go live with me at my house."

This was the turning point of Hiiragi Eiji's fate. Since then, he has lived in the home of this blond kid named Naruto.

And when Gojo Satoru saw Hiiragi Eiji again, he found that the other party's face finally showed subtle emotions.

He started to laugh.

Next, another kid named Sasuke appeared beside Hiiragi Eiji.

The scene switched again, and with the sound of "crashing" water, three or two little boys fell into the water, and soon, the heart-piercing cries of little ghosts erupted on the river bank, and The one who beat them to tears was Sasuke.

Hiiragi Eiji, who was passing by the river bank, had a panoramic view of all this until he met the black eyes of this kid.

With fierce eyes and unfriendly expression, Hiiragi Eiji looked away kindly, and he left.

However, when Sasuke walked ashore from the river, he saw a simple bandage that had been left there on purpose.

Eiji Hiiragi probably knew this brat, so he observed him specially.

"...Eiji, did you know Sasuke before?" Hiiragi Eiji's concern for that brat also aroused Naruto's confusion.

And Hiiragi Eiji's answer to this was: "I don't know him. But I know him."

He had heard about Sasuke and knew that he, like Naruto, had grown up in a difficult environment.

Thinking of this, he quietly stared at Naruto.

Stared firmly by those clear amber eyes, Naruto was a little nervous, "What, what's wrong, Eiji?"

Hiiragi Eiji shook his head coldly.Although he showed some emotion, compared with other children, his expression was still sparse.

"I just think, Naruto, you are very warm."

"Wh, what——!" The blond kid jumped three feet high, he was a little embarrassed at first, but soon, he scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Is that how you see me, Eiji? I obviously didn't do anything." Eiji was always taking care of him.

Hiiragi Eiji has his own unique insights. He quietly recalls the feeling Naruto brought him, which is warm and bright.

He felt the light, he was warmed, so he wanted to live, but there are still people living in a lightless environment.

He felt that since he saw it, he should do something about it.Because Naruto is so warm, he also wants to let other people living in the dark know the feeling of warmth.

He didn't know if he could do it, but he knew clearly that human beings need light.

And the change in the relationship between Eiji Hiiragi and Sasuke was because the brat suddenly went crazy and practiced fire escape until he exhausted his chakra and passed out directly by the river.

When he woke up, he was lying on Hiiragi Eiji's back.Hiiragi originally thought that Sasuke would immediately ask him to put him down, but nothing happened, he just silently pressed his forehead against Hiiragi's shoulder, and after a while, Hiiragi felt the wetness from his shoulder.

But at this time, Hiiragi Eiji is no longer a guy with low EQ. He has a deep understanding of the philosophical problem of shutting up when it is time to shut up. Walk on the bank of the river.

"...The stars are so bright today." Eiji Hiiragi looked up at the night and murmured.

After a while, he felt Sasuke, who was nestled on his shoulder, raised his head, "...um." An awkward response came out of his mouth.

For some reason, Hiiragi Eiji subconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

When Sasuke and Hiiragi get acquainted thoroughly, he will take Sasuke to play with him, because he spends most of the time with Naruto, so the three of them usually act together.It is said to be playing, but it is actually practicing.

They are not practicing shuriken and kunai, or practicing taijutsu.Hiiragi Eiji is very strong, these two children are not his opponents at all, but he always stays with them patiently, at such times, Sasuke will always show an amazing desire to win, he does not hide his love for He will feel anxious because the gap with Hiiragi Eiji is too big.Whenever he was asked why he was so obsessed with power, his little face would tense subconsciously, and extremely strong emotions gathered in his eyes.

"...for, to kill a man."

However, the relationship between these two stinky brats is a bit stumbling, but overall they managed to get along, although they would often quarrel——

"What about being first?! I will improve next time!"

"At the end of the crane, wait until you have improved by even one rank, and then come and talk to me like this."

"That's better than you, a childish ghost who asks for tomatoes every day!"

"you--"

Then the two of them would turn their heads to look at Hiiragi Eiji, with stubborn anger on their faces, and they both wanted Hiiragi Eiji to stand by them.

In this regard, Eiji Hiiragi's handling method is often full of high emotional intelligence. He will stuff tomatoes with Sasuke, and then tell Naruto that he is making ramen, and ask him to watch TV and wait for dinner.

Yes, after the three got acquainted, Sasuke would often go to Naruto and Hiiragi's house.

"...Why is it ramen again?" Sasuke stuffed a small tomato into his mouth and muttered angrily.

Hiiragi Eiji calmly replied: "There will be wooden fish rice too."

Sasuke became quiet for a moment, the sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth, and he said vaguely, "It's this trick again."

...But in fact, he didn't want to get a clear answer from Hiiragi Eiji.Because he knew that he should be behind Naruto.

Sasuke is very keen, he will always notice immediately when Hiiragi is in a bad mood, and his way of comforting people is also very different from other little ghosts, he will quietly accompany Hiiragi, when Hiiragi goes shopping, he will He would go with him by his side with a sullen face, and secretly stuff the vegetables that Eiji likes into the vegetable basket, and he will never forget Naruto's share.

He never took the initiative to get tomatoes, because Eiji Hiiragi would subconsciously put them into the vegetable basket every time he passed by the bright red vegetables.Whenever this happens, Sasuke's mood becomes very good.

Hiiragi Eiji went back to wash the vegetables, and Sasuke would help quietly beside him.He has never been a person who talks too much, but his actions have never lagged behind.

"...Is this really how you train?" Naruto looked at Hiiragi Eiji in shock.

Three eleven or twelve-year-old kid stood in front of the nearly [-]-meter-high waterfall, even Sasuke looked suspiciously in his eyes, at this time Sasuke had already begun to look like a cool guy, he usually spoke very little, but only when facing Hiiragi He only showed a more vivid expression when he was Eiji.

But Hiiragi Eiji said seriously: "That's right, I just want to jump from here."

Both Naruto and Sasuke's expressions became serious, as if they were thinking about jumping a waterfall, but the next second, Hiiragi Eiji suddenly failed, and he bent down laughing, "You guys really believe that?" Huh?" He said, looking at Sasuke, "I didn't expect Sasuke to be so easy to deceive?"

The two were dumbfounded for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Sasuke suddenly showed an expression of embarrassment and anger, and his ears were stained red.

Naruto was unhappy at the same time, "Aren't you saying that I'm easy to cheat? Isn't he too?"

"...Don't compare me with you." Sasuke said coldly with an ice face.

"I just want to come here with you guys," Eiji Hiiragi said to the two, "Shall we jump down and play together?"

After finishing speaking, Hiiragi Eiji stepped on the water and started running towards the cliff of the waterfall. With a happy smile on his face, he looked back at the two who hadn't reacted yet.

Under the sunlight, the light-haired boy's face was filled with such vivid happiness. Looking at his expression at the moment, both Naruto and Sasuke showed blank expressions on their faces. Before they could react, they had already chased after him. Behind Hiiragi Eiji, he ran forward with him.

When the three of them jumped into the air together, Hiiragi Eiji in the middle grabbed the hands of the two of them from left to right, and the three of them began to fall down.

This was the happiest time in Eiji Hiiragi's life, and immediately after that, the torrent of fate swept towards him.

The scene turned to Naruto's apartment again. At this time, Hiiragi Eiji covered his mouth and coughed violently in front of the sink. Blood spilled from his fingers. Outside, there was the sound of Naruto opening the door to go home.

"Eiji! I'm back!"

Without any hesitation, Hiiragi immediately wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rinsed the blood from his mouth and nose with water. After checking in the mirror that he had no flaws, he opened the bathroom door and looked at Naruto outside showed a smile: "Welcome back, it's really early today."

But then, Hiiragi Eiji's physical condition deteriorated again, and he began to cough in the middle of the night.All that was coughed up was blood.

In the silent room, Hiiragi Eiji was a little dazed looking at the blood in his palm.

The screen jumps again. This time, there is no Naruto beside him. He and Sasuke are speeding through the woods, but soon, Sasuke's speed becomes slower and slower until he stops at the same place.

Hiiragi Eiji looked back at him in confusion, but saw Sasuke's face was tense and depressed: "Eiji, you go back."

Hiiragi Eiji was stunned, "Why?"

"...You don't fit there. It's still too late to go back now, and Naruto—"

"Don't worry about me," Eiji Hiiragi said calmly, "I'm here for my purpose." He wants to live, no matter what.

He said well, he will never let Naruto live alone again, he has already bonded with this world.

What's more, he can also look at Sasuke, which will make him very reassuring.

In this way, with their own goals, the two betrayed Konoha, became Renren, and took refuge in Orochimaru.

"... Eiji, after everything is over, I have something to tell you." After putting the Kusanagi sword into the scabbard, Sasuke said with a calm face all the time.

At that time, Sasuke no longer had the childishness before, and the expression on his face became even more indifferent, but when facing Hiiragi Eiji, he still brought a trace of freshness from the past.

Hiiragi Eiji was slightly taken aback, and he said amusedly, "Why can't you say it now?" Thinking of this, a layer of haze shrouded his heart, "What if..."

"No chance!" Sasuke snapped his assumption, "We will survive to the end. There is no other possibility."

Hiiragi Eiji stopped talking immediately and just responded softly.

Yes, he will live to the end.

After that-

"... Please, don't die."

"do not die."

"Survive."

But Hiiragi Eiji lost all his strength, he tried his best to say one more word, all he needed was one word, but fate abandoned him, he had no more strength, in the end, only his lips They kept opening and closing, but couldn't even make a sound.

Why not give him a little more time?Even if it's just for a second.

He can still come back, so don't make such a face.

However, Hiiragi Eiji closed his eyes weakly.

The young man who was driven forward by fate finally fell on the road leading to the dawn, only the prayers of his friends were still echoing.

But this doesn't seem to be the end of everything. After Eiji Hiiragi completely lost his vital signs, there was an extra person in the space where Gojo Satoru was.

That was Hiiragi Eiji who died in the real world.

However, unlike Gojo Satoru, he didn't observe the weird place too much, he just leaned helplessly on the transparent wall to see the world after his death.

He resolutely looked at the outside world through the transparent wall, and he kept beating the invisible barrier, trying to break the cage that imprisoned him.

"Only one point left, only one last point left."

Gojo Satoru heard him repeating this sentence over and over again.

Gojo Satoru tried to go to Hiiragi Eiji's side, but an invisible barrier seemed to appear between the two, separating them in different spaces. Gojo Satoru could see Hiiragi Eiji, but the other party seemed unable to see his existence.

Immediately afterwards, the screen began to shatter again, and then, the screen automatically jumped to the side of the blond boy Naruto.

And Hiiragi Eiji suddenly became more excited after seeing Naruto.

Naruto just stood quietly outside the door of the apartment he was familiar with, unwilling to push the door open for a long time.

His expression was a little dazed. After an unknown period of time, he took a deep breath and slammed open the door of the apartment, "I'm back—!"

Greetings full of vigor and vitality resounded throughout the room, and he even raised his other hand, as if he wanted to greet the people in the room.

But there was no one in the apartment, and a cold and silent atmosphere permeated the small space.

And Naruto's raised hand seemed to have lost the support of strength, and it fell from mid-air little by little, and the smile on his face gradually narrowed until his lips were trembling.

It seemed that he was not ready to face the cruel reality, and the most genuine expression of pain was uncontrollably displayed on that immature face.

"...Didn't it be agreed that we will live together and won't leave me alone anymore? Then why haven't you come back?"

And these words seemed to have completely broken the last line of defense in Eiji Hiiragi's heart, his emotions suddenly collapsed, he hit the invisible wall that trapped him hard, but no matter how hard he used, no matter how hard he called Naruto How hysterical the human voice is, people outside are still ignorant of what happened here.

Gojo Satoru's emotions were instantly drawn and infected by such extreme emotions.

What should he do...?

What can he do?

Obviously thinking like this, but Gojo Satoru didn't stop in his footsteps, he strode forward and walked straight to the man who collapsed and cried.

A strange thing happened, the invisible wall separating the two of them in two different spaces disappeared, and Gojo Satoru passed through the barrier and came to the space where the boy was.

Gojo Wujo was startled, can he be seen now?Has he entered this world?

But when he looked at the fragile soul that had suffered all kinds of sufferings in front of him, Gojo Satoru walked towards that person quickly before his brain issued an order.

He didn't know what he was going to do, his head was filled with all kinds of complicated emotions, which made him unable to capture effective information.

And when he came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that he gently hugged him from the side of Hiiragi Eiji, yes, hugged him.At this moment, he touched Hiiragi Eiji.

It was also at this moment that he realized what he wanted to do—he wanted to give the painful traveler in front of him a little bit of strength.

This hug had a comforting quality that Gojo Satoru himself didn't realize, and he clumsily wanted to comfort the person in front of him.

Hiiragi Eiji grabbed Gojo Satoru's arm with both hands. He didn't even know who was around him, but he seemed to draw strength through this action.

But at this moment, the crisp cracking sound came to Gojo Wu's ears, and he found that there was a crack in the space of this dream that seemed to be a sign of collapse.

……why?

But before Gojo Satoru thought about it, he felt the person in his arms move. The light-haired boy slowly raised his head to look at Gojo Satoru. There were still tears of embarrassment on his face and eyelashes. , he didn't immediately break free from Gojo Satoru's arms, but instead asked, as if grasping the last straw, "Who are you? Why are you here? Are you the manager here?"

Gojo Satoru swayed in place because of his actions, and he quietly looked at the clear and excited young man in front of him.

Seeing that he was silent, Hiiragi Eiji did not give up because this was his only chance, "Can you get out of here?" While speaking, he slowly stood up straight, and pulled away from Gojo Satoru. distance.

He didn't seem to notice the posture of the two just now, which made Gojo Satoru feel a little weird.

"...Get out of here?" He repeated his question softly, but at the moment he didn't have any specific thoughts in his mind.He felt the anger he hadn't seen for a long time, he was angry at the fate of this shit, and also angry at his own powerlessness.

Hiiragi Eiji nodded vigorously, and said hurriedly, "If you can get out of here, can you say something to my friends for me?"

Why are you still thinking about others at this time?

"...what do you want to tell them?"

Hearing Gojo Satoru's answer, Hiiragi Eiji's amber eyes suddenly lit up, this sentence gave him a glimmer of hope invisibly, Hiiragi Eiji said seriously: "Tell them, I am still alive, don't worry about me , One day, I will come back again.”

Gojo Satoru pursed his lips tightly.

No, even if he could, he would refuse the request.

Gojo Satoru silently looked at the boy Hiiragi Eiji in front of him.

Why tell them false lies?Why let your traces fade in the hearts of others?Even though they have done so much, after they died, they all wanted to weave a beautiful dream for them, so that the people they cared about could live in peace.

This kind of Hiiragi Eiji, who has gone through all of this, should be firmly remembered by everyone, and he should be.

The dream was still collapsing at a slow speed, but Eiji Hiiragi in front of him didn't know anything about it, his eyes dimmed little by little in Gojo Satoru's long silence.

"...Sorry." Hiiragi Eiji whispered, "I made things difficult for others."

...... the strong man is difficult.Gojo Satoru felt that he had a better understanding of the light-haired boy in front of him. He was actually a pessimist.Even in the dream, he never expected real salvation.He did not grant Gojo Satoru the right to interfere with his dreams, as if to prove from the side, that he knew that the tragedy that happened to him could not be reversed and could not be changed.

But at this moment, Gojo Satoru suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He was not allowed to participate in this dream, but the dream showed signs of collapse?Doesn't the collapse of the dream only happen when he is about to escape from the dream?

He finally understood why this space collapsed - because he fulfilled Hiiragi Eiji's wish.

He participated in Hiiragi Eiji's dream. He once thought that Hiiragi Eiji's wish in this dream was to hope Gojo Satoru could protect the people around him for him, and he wanted to save him by himself.

But it was never like this, Gojo Satoru got it wrong from the very beginning.

It is Hiiragi Eiji's wish to protect others. With his character, how can he let others fulfill his wish for him?Hiiragi Eiji has never made any demands on the behavior of others, and only demands on himself with strict standards.

And for such Hiiragi Eiji, his wish is not at all for Gojo Satoru to protect the people around him, because he has already fully achieved it by himself.He will not impose his wishes on others at all.

In this dream, what Eiji Hiiragi wanted——

It's just that at the end of this tragedy, in this ending that made him collapse for a while, he got a warm relief.

And Gojo Satoru's hug completely fulfilled Hiiragi Eiji's wish, so he didn't notice the strange movements of the two just now, but instinctively grabbed Gojo Satoru's arm with his hand.

Gojo Satoru didn't know what kind of expression he had at the moment, because of his own guess, a wave of familiar and unfamiliar emotions suddenly surged in his heart.

In the short period of twenty years, he has actually experienced three complete transformations.

The death of Riko Tenuchi brought about a drastic change in his power. For the first time, he had the idea of ​​being the only one in heaven and earth.Xia Youjie's defection made him feel pain, and his heart grew at an unprecedented speed.

And when he killed Xia Youjie with his own hands, he experienced the pain again.

He thought that his heart was already invincible, and even if he experienced the same thing again, he would only feel angry, instead of having the feeling of powerlessness and pain at that time again.

But now, he felt that he recalled the feeling at that time again, and it was still painful.It's just that this time he felt the pain because of what happened to others.

And what made his emotions aggravated further was the appearance of Hiiragi Eiji in the dream who didn't know anything about his truest wish.

His wish was so small and inconspicuous that even Hiiragi Eiji himself didn't realize it.

...What are you doing, how low do you want to put yourself, so that you don't even realize your true desire?

Gojo Satoru took a deep, deep breath to suppress his emotions.

But at this moment, the transparent wall disappeared, and this closed space became completely pure white.

And Hiiragi Eiji's mood seemed to calm down slowly, Gojo Satoru didn't know what he was thinking, he could only see the determination flashing in his eyes.

"I seem to be leaving." Hiiragi Eiji said suddenly.

In the next second, the light-haired boy suddenly floated into the air, and his body condensed a glistening white light, as if it was about to turn into tiny specks of light in the next second, drifting away with the wind.

Even though he knew the fact that he was going to leave, Hiiragi Eiji still had a flustered expression on his face. He subconsciously looked in the direction of Gojo Satoru, but hesitatingly did not reach out to him.

But Gojo Satoru raised his hand and grabbed him the first second he could react. However, a strange thing happened, Gojo Satoru's hand passed through the young man's slender wrist—he caught nothing.

Gojo Satoru and Hiiragi Eiji looked at this scene with their eyes wide open. Just when Hiiragi Eiji was about to say something, the white-haired man standing below him suddenly said, "Don't be afraid."

He immediately looked at the speaker.

"Don't be afraid, I will definitely find you." As Wujo Wu's voice fell, the chains of restraint instantly wrapped around the two of them.He unilaterally bound Hiiragi Eiji.

Hiiragi Eiji was slightly taken aback, and then he showed a faint smile, "Although I don't know who you are... I asked you too much just now, but thank you." Moment, did not let him stay here alone, "My name is Hiiragi Eiji."

"Five enlightenments."

Eiji Hiiragi said goodbye softly to the man with blue eyes: "Then, see you next time, Gojo-kun."

After speaking, his figure collapsed into light spots, and disappeared together with the complete collapse of the dream.

"... Teacher! Teacher Wujo!"

A familiar voice sounded near Gojo Satoru.

"Are you sure he really moved just now? Isn't he completely unresponsive?"

"I'm sure! His finger really moved just now! It's always like this in the movies, right? The sign of waking up from a deep coma is a slight twitch of the finger!"

"...Hey, he seems to have really moved!"

"Kang, kuang, kuang", a series of sounds of slapping the glass sounded, "Teacher! Wake up!"

Wujo Satoru woke up under this noisy sound.
