I left them to reminisce about their family while I quietly left.
He drifted aimlessly and unknowingly walked to the front of the Spiritual Consolidating Monument.
He realized that he liked coming here more and more. It was probably because he didn't have to hide himself in front of the dead.
He always liked to come here and look at the names of irrelevant people, but his thoughts drifted to the distant past... Whenever this happened, he couldn't help but reach out to touch the silent faces filled with memories. His fingers gently brushed across the wind, but there was only air.
'To them, I'm already dead, but in my heart, they'll always be alive. Whose misfortune is this…'
He sighed in his heart and his hands hung down weakly, letting everything go with the wind.
I turned around and left silently.
After a dull night, the ceremony of the Hino family merging into the Koba family was held in the auditorium as scheduled. Muye's villagers all came to watch the show. The original families of Muye also occupied their usual seats to watch the ceremony solemnly.
After the formal submission and approval process between Masao and Tsunete, the Hino clan moved from the guest position to the host position, and there was a warm and rhythmic cheer in the hall.
However, this was probably more of a request out of courtesy, I thought.
In the future, he would have to prove himself with loyalty and strength, Masao thought.
After the ceremony, it was the tea ceremony. The villagers dispersed. I wasn't interested in this and left.
No matter what, it should be a day of joy that was close to a festival!
However, I couldn't blend into this atmosphere no matter what.
He would leave the auditorium far away and run to the cliff where Tsubaki used to live. He would set up a chessboard in front of Muye. It was better to do something meaningful!
However, her heart could not calm down. Speaking of which, it had been more than a month since the last clone left. Although there was a seal, it shouldn't have lasted that long. What happened? There were still two clones outside. If they were really going to gather information about Xiao, I didn't believe that with the abilities of Xiao's members, their clones would be able to remain undiscovered for so long.
Sigh! I couldn't help but blame my clone for being so worried over here, but I didn't know how to be free over there.
However, he did not know that he had wronged his clones. These two clones would never return. Although the two of them had obtained important information, they did not have the chance to send it back to Mu Ye. I didn't know what happened until a long time later.
Seeing that there was no hope, should he start making clones again?
After a long time, he did not put down the chess piece in his hand.
"Teacher Youyou, you're here!”
He raised his head and saw a thin and frail young man standing there lazily.
"Shikamaru? Why didn't you attend the tea ceremony?"
"That kind of thing is too troublesome. It's rare to have a holiday. How can we waste it on that kind of occasion?”
I nodded in understanding.
"Then, let's play a game together? It has been two months since Teacher came to play chess with me.”
He smiled bitterly. With his current level, how could he dare?
"Alright then. However, I'm going to make a fool of myself again."
"Ah, I'm sorry. I won't do it this time! I will be serious!"
It was even more impressive when he was serious. In short, he was an opponent that needed to be dealt with carefully. He threw away all his previous thoughts and focused on playing chess.
"Teacher Youyou is improving very quickly. You can play regularly now!”
I smiled because I finally didn't treat it as a game. In the past, he only learned chess with a playful attitude, so it was difficult to improve. However, this concerned the lives of important people! However, could Shikamaru understand it?
"Eh? If I may ask, why isn't this the way to go?”Shikamaru's slender fingers were fixed on my chess piece.
"This…if…"
"Although we have to sacrifice the Silver General, we can use the next move to play the King's Hand. I believe Teacher Youyou will see such a good move! To be honest, I'm very surprised that you can reach this level!”
It wasn't that he didn't see it, but when he reached this step, he was secretly shocked. Unknowingly, he left just like that. Could it be that in my subconscious, Silver Generals must also be sacrificed?
"No, we can't go like this!" I chose to retreat.
"If we don't do this, we might lose!”Shikamaru calmly flipped over his infantry." Nojin, I'm a child!"”
The situation was already irreversible. I looked at it again and again.
If they were to go this way, they would have to pay even more sacrifices. If the Silver Generals were something that I couldn't give up, then could the other chess pieces be casually abandoned?
How annoying!
After calculating in his heart a few times, there was no way to turn the tables…
"I admit defeat!"
"Eh? There should still be a chance, right? Teacher Youyou!"
"No, I didn't use the smallest sacrifice to exchange for the greatest price. I was a failed commander.”
Is that so? Shikamaru looked at me in surprise.
"Shikamaru, you're already a Chuunin. You're already on a mission as a squad leader. I believe you understand this more than I do.”
"Yes! But…"
I shook my head and put away the chessboard.
"You're not playing anymore? It's still early." Shikamaru looked as if he had not had enough.
"I…won't play chess anymore…I won't play chess anymore…"
"Um, this is?"
Looking at Shikamaru, this child still didn't understand.
He suddenly laughed." Hehe, there's still a chance. If I can turn the tables, I'll come and find you again."”
Yes, if he could turn the tables and change his fate.
I believe you.
"Then, let's not mention it. However, the problem that teacher mentioned last time…"
"What is it?"
"That's right. I've gone back and thought about the problem of Concealed Blood.”
"Oh? Tell me quickly."
"Yes, I am. Judging from the two times the village had fought with Hidden Blood, the Blood Ninjas were a group of fearless fellows. Although people could fearlessly sacrifice their lives for a certain belief, they always felt that the death of the Blood Enduring was not worth it if it was for an aimless goal or just for a certain person's desire. Therefore, it was likely that someone had used some means to control them. However, judging from the process of the battle, the Blood Enduring's movements and reactions were very agile. Therefore, it was speculated that it was not a mind control technique or something like that. Perhaps it was drugs, but the most likely thing was religion.”
"Religion?"
"Yes, I am. Religion was the easiest way to stir up the fanatical thoughts and blind trust of humans.”
My first reaction was to think that it was an ILG…
"Also, from the techniques they used, it doesn't seem to be entirely the ability brought by the Blood Successor. It also doesn't match Japan's usual ninja style. Therefore, we suspect that it's an external force. It's very likely that it's a force from the Chinese mainland!”
" Thirdly, judging from the relationship between Hidden Blood and the other Ninja villages, it doesn't seem like they're on good or bad terms with each other. In other words, the leader of the Blood Ninja isn't interested in building a powerful faction. He's probably pursuing something specific, or maybe he has a special hobby…In short, this is the most confusing thing.”
"That's about it. I'm sorry, but I don't have any clear directions.”
"Yes, it's already very good. I'll consider it again. Thank you, Shikamaru!”
Religion? He watched Shikamaru leave. It seemed very possible…The Japanese were crazy once they had faith. This strange race.
He composed himself. I should go back first.
After such a long delay, the tea ceremony seemed to have ended.
The village had returned to peace.
Tsunete and Silent were walking together.
He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.
"Oh, that's great! It had been a long time since she had been so relaxed. She was so bored in the office all day that she was about to die!”
"How can Lord Tsunete say that? This is Naruto's responsibility!"
That being said, Tsune-sama was really pitiful. From such a casual life to such a boring life now…
"Silence! Come to the tavern with me!"
" Ah, how can that be?!"
"If it's not possible, I'll go by myself.”
" Uh, forget it. I'll go with Master Tsunete…" Silent Voice gave in.
The two of them stopped under the wine banner.
"Ya, ya! Lord Naruto? Lord Jingyin!" The uncle from the tavern hurriedly came out to welcome him.
"Don't stop me today. Silence!”
Silent looked at the increasing number of bottles in front of Tsunete with a bitter face. This was the end…
"Swoosh!" I lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Eh? Teacher Youyou!" Jing Yin stood up immediately.
"Please come over and persuade Lord Tsunete. If that's the case, I still have important documents to read when I go back, but…"
"What's wrong? Jingyin, do you want me to persuade you to drink?”
"Eh?" Jing Yin's eyes widened.
"Then, please bring more wine! Today, it's my treat!"
He sat down opposite Tsunete and grabbed a bottle of wine to drink.
As the shadow of a village, he must have a lot of troubles! His eyes were filled with chess pieces that were unwilling to be sacrificed. When he made a choice, he would have long felt a hundred knots in his stomach!
"Come, let me toast you! Okami, my lord!" For the first time, he called her 'Lord' sincerely.
Okami raised his head in surprise.
"Oh? Youyou, good, good!" He raised his head and saw that half a bottle of wine was gone.
The two of them drank silently for a long time.
My alcohol tolerance was actually very poor, especially when I drank like this. Soon, I felt so dizzy that I fell asleep on the table.
"Eh? Was this not enough? She's terrible. Silent? I'm not even as good as you!" Okami's face was already red, and he could not speak clearly.
Jing Yin waved her hand." Well, Master Tsunei, I think we should go back."”
"Oh, it's boring without anyone to accompany you. Let's go back then. Uh ~" She stood up shakily and walked out.
"Hey, Teacher Youyou?" Mute my phone. I didn't move.
"Hey, Lord Tsunete?" Both sides needed to be taken care of.
"She said that she would treat us. Let her stay and pay!”Tsunei continued to walk out.
"How can this be? How can this be?"
"Don't worry. This is our own village. Uh ~"
Jing Yin had no choice but to catch up with Tsunei and help her back.
"Haha, haha, I drank to my heart's content today! Ah, is it ~ mute!"
"Lord Tsunete, please don't do this, others will see!”
"Eh? Someone is looking at me? Who's looking at me?" Okami shook her head desperately."Ah, I'm dizzy ~ dizzy ~"
He collapsed.
" Phew! How troublesome!" Jing Yin hurriedly supported Tsunete and dragged her towards the Huo Ying Mansion. It just so happened that Xiao Ying had finished her studies and came out.
"That's great, Xiao Ying. Teacher Youyou is still in the tavern. Please take care of her!”
