When the battle between Konoha and Kirigakure came to an end, Hyuga patriarch Hitohiko consciously assumed the responsibility of the commander-in-chief and asked the wounded and large troops to withdraw first, while he took two clansmen and checked the battlefield with his eyes open to ensure that there were no serious injuries but The Konoha ninja who was not yet dead was misjudged as a corpse left behind.

When they swept to the edge of the battlefield, they were attacked by Mist Ninja who pretended to be dead.

The three rose up to resist, and the two members of the Hyuga sub-family lost one after another, and were cut by the enemy's sword. The patriarch Hitohiko persisted in fighting for a long time, but the enemy's numbers were suppressed, and blood successors joined the battle. .

Someone in the vanguard found something was wrong and went back to look for it, only to find that the commander-in-chief at the rear had been plotted against, and hurriedly called for help, repelling the few Mist ninjas.

Unfortunately it was too late.

Hitohiko was badly wounded, dying, and worst of all, one eye was gouged out by the enemy.

The commander-in-chief was seriously injured, and Harry, who was Konoha's special commissioner, immediately became a substitute adjutant, temporarily acting in command.

After listening to the report, he notified Konoha of the situation as quickly as possible, arranged the things that should be arranged, and then joined the medical ninjas in the emergency rescue of the wounded.

Ren Yan is Yi He's adoptive father, one of the only surviving family members of Yi He, and his life is at stake, and Harry doesn't care about what is there, so he takes out his own white meat and pours it on Ren Yan's wound, and then gives it to him. Ren Yan fed a bottle of blood tonic and a bottle of energy potion.

Under the effect of the potion, most of the wounds were healed, but Ren Yan's complexion did not improve at all, and the detection of magic still showed unfavorable red and yellow lights.

The medical ninjas recovered from the magical effect of the magical potion Harry used, and one of them approached him and explained Hitohiko's injury softly to him: "Among the fog ninjas who attacked him had mastered the limit of the 'Ice Escape' Blood Succession Blood successor, his blood vessels are almost frozen, and his blood is full of extremely thin ice thorns, every time his heart beats, those icicles penetrate deeper into his internal organs..."

After that, the medical ninja didn't say any more, just sighed: "My condolences."

Harry didn't want to mourn, he took a look at the sealed scroll containing the potion, calculated the blood tonic reserve, took the scalpel, and slit Hitohiko's wrist.

The medical ninjas were stunned and rushed to stop him: "What are you doing!"

"The blood is full of icicles, so I'll give him another blood." Harry calmly explained the reason.

He once used a similar method to save an uncle whose blood was polluted by Mudun cells. He knew it was feasible, but the medical ninjas didn't know it.

A medical ninja murmured, "It seems to be possible in theory..."

Another medical ninja said: "But relying on the effect of the Zengxue Pill, the speed of replenishing blood must not keep up with the speed of blood loss!"

No.3 medical ninja said: "Looking at the effect of the wound medicine used by Master Hui, the blood tonic medicine must also be powerful, maybe it will really work!"

Harry turned a deaf ear, looked at the blood loss, took out another bottle of blood tonic, and handed it to Ren Yan's mouth.

Unexpectedly, the injured turned his head away to avoid the medicine bottle.

Harry frowned, without much hesitation, he stretched out his hand to break Hitohiko's chin: "I'm saving your life. Open your mouth and drink the medicine."

He originally thought that the other party was a little delirious due to blood loss or pain, and lost his correct judgment, but when Ren Yan raised his eyes to look at him, the look in the remaining one eye was obviously sober.

"The method you mentioned, blood exchange, is only for the blood." Ren Yan was obviously suffering from great pain, his muscles were tense, and it was difficult to say every word, but he insisted on speaking, slowly but forcefully, to ensure that the words were clear, "The thorn in the internal organs, you can't save it, don't waste medicine."

Harry kept pushing the bottle into his mouth: "How will you know if you don't try?"

Ren Yan turned his head away again, shouting with all his strength: "My own body, I know it myself! I can't survive!"

Harry stared at him heavily, and after a few seconds, he raised his hand and magically healed the knife wound on his wrist.

"Your eyes, I have sent people to chase them, but I don't think there is much hope. Kirigakure is rare to get the white eyes, and he will definitely cover them with all his might." Harry drove all the medical ninjas out, and turned back. Then he said quickly, "Do you have anything else to say about the rest? ——Or I'll call two Hyuga clansmen in for you, and you will tell them in person?"

Ren Yan was surprised at his carefulness in planning ahead, and also surprised at his fickleness in his tone and attitude. He was stunned for a moment, then relieved, closed his eyes and sighed: "You are indeed... a strange person. I understand why Yihe is so... ...to be obsessed with obsession."

The old patriarch who has walked all the way from Jiancun is more than 60 years old, and his face is full of deep marks left by the years. At this moment, due to serious injuries to his body, his energy and spirit quickly dissipated. Slumped and weak.

He thought for a while, and said intermittently: "I have nothing to explain to the clansmen, just a few children... Yihe is on the front line of Yunyin, and Rizu Risai and two brothers are in Konoha. It's a day's journey, and I can last half a day at most...Maybe I will trouble you to write a suicide note for me."

Harry directly Apparated, and a moment later brought Ikka with the Portkey to transfer over, put down Ikka, and went back to Konoha to tie Hizuka and Nisashi over.

He pushed the three juniors to the front of the hospital bed: "People have brought them here, let's chat with your family."

Hitoko: "..."

Rizu and Richa had just received the notice of their father's accident, and were about to go out to the front line, when they were suddenly caught and thrown in front of their father, their two identical faces were full of confusion.

It was the younger brother Richa who was the first to react. He rushed to the bed, held Renyan's hand, and shouted tremblingly, "Father!"

□□Being aware of it, he followed up and saw Ren Yan's body covered in blood. He was a little afraid, hesitated for a while, quickly lowered his head, and squeezed out a choked sob from the back of his throat: "Father, father..."

Rizai was already talking like a cannonball at this time: "I have heard that it is the hateful enemy who plotted against you! He even took yours away... Don't worry, I will definitely, definitely avenge you! I want Capture the group of Mist Ninjas one by one, break every bone of them, goug out their eyeballs, torture them severely, then kill them all, whip their corpses a hundred times, to comfort your spirit in heaven!"

It is indeed a small firecracker that must be vengeful since childhood. Now, while gnashing his teeth and talking, he starts to roll up his sleeves. It seems that he is about to rush out and enter Wuyin Village to avenge his father.

Of course, Ren Yan, the father who knew his son's temper best, immediately held Nisai's hand, and said half-warningly: "Nizai."

The day is slack.

Hizuru still lowered his head, his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, his whole body was trembling, and transparent water dripped down, hitting the ground in front of his toes.

Ren Yan comforted him a few more words, raised his free hand slightly, and called, "Yihe, come."

The news between the frontlines spread slowly. When Yihe was on the frontline of Yunyin, he hadn't learned the details of the whole story. After Harry brought him here, he temporarily explained the situation to him in a few words.

Hearing Hitohiko's call, Harry pushed Yihe forward, motioning for Yihe to listen carefully to Hitohiko's last words.

Yihe pursed his lips, showing his unbearable and shaken face, but his posture was still resisting. After hesitating for two seconds, he replied stiffly in an unfamiliar tone: "...Master Patriarch."

"Yihe," Renyan sighed, "you still don't want to call me father?"

Yihe didn't nod or shake his head, just remained silent.

"Forget it, you child, you have been such a stubborn temper since you were a child, stubborn, stubborn, and resigned to death. Since you were nine years old, when Rizu and Rizai were born, you have never called me father. I know, You are annoyed with me."

Yihe showed a bit of embarrassment at being pointed out, but he still said firmly: "Yihe dare not."

Renyan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Don't you dare? I think you are quite brave. - You don't think, I really don't know that you and Chuan and a few young boys have been together all day long during this period of time. What is it?"

Shocked, he took a small step back, widened his eyes, and looked at Ren Yan on the bed in disbelief.

Ren Yan looked at him calmly, there was no sense of blame in his eyes, only the helplessness and tolerance of the elders looking at the naughty junior: "How do I know? After all, I am 30 years older than you. Yihe, your little thoughts , it is really hard to escape my eyes. What's more, Chuan is a reliable enough assistant, but the remaining two - Zaemon and Hanako - they are too young to be used and can't keep up. You shouldn't have involved them."

Yihe's lips moved, speechless.

"I know, but I haven't interfered, because I want to see how far you can go for this... Unfortunately, I can't see it now." Ren Yan sighed again, paused, and continued, "However, I think that you should be able to achieve your goals. You have always been like this, Yihe——it seems that you are not fighting for anything, but you are fighting for everything. Leaving the family, giving up the blood inheritance, and abandoning the Rouquan inheritance ...You followed a direction that no one in our family had ever explored, overcame all the obstacles, and finally explored your own world. This kind of courage, this kind of will, and this kind of courage will always make you invincible.”

He coughed suddenly, as if the icicles in his body had pierced somewhere, the pain made him curl up into a ball.

Harry came over, tapped Hitohiko's shoulder with his wand, and whispered a short-acting pain-relieving spell.

Ren Yan had already seen the magic of his magic, so he was not too surprised, and raised his eyes to give him a grateful look.He nodded lightly, and went back to the door to be the gatekeeper.

Ren Yan took a breath, and hastened to explain the funeral: "Yihe, no matter what you think, I will always treat you as my son. Now it is a troubled time, full of dangers, and only one white eye is not safe. The rest of me an eye..."

Yihe had already guessed what he was going to say, and interrupted him dryly: "No need. I have sworn that I will never use my family name in this life, nor will I use my blood inheritance ability."

"——Ichiga!" Ren Yan sternly scolded, "If you say that you are expelling yourself from the family and drawing a line with the family, are you torturing others, or are you torturing yourself?"

His tone and eyes were very sharp, as if he could see right into the heart of people. After being looked at by him like this, Yihe couldn't utter any rebuttals.

Ren Yan closed his eyes tiredly. His physical condition was extremely poor. Under the continuous attack of ice thorns, his internal organs collapsed one after another. He was only holding on with one breath and the energy potion Harry had given him earlier. Now The effect of the potion gradually wore off, and his voice became weaker.

He continued what he said before: "I will give you the remaining eye. Only a complete pair of white eyes can exert its due strength. Even if you don't use soft fist, you can use it when necessary. Xiang Bang's life-saving technique."

After finishing speaking, he turned to his two sons who had been left alone for a long time: "Nizu, Richa, after I die, you two brothers should continue to treat Yihe as an elder brother, trust him, love him, and respect him." , Listen to his teachings and follow his suggestions. He has many years more experience than you, and his experience and connections are far above yours. Learning more from him will benefit you and not harm you."

"There's another one," he turned around, opened his eyes with difficulty, met Yihe's gaze, and there was a bit of imperceptible plea in his words, "Nizu is cowardly, Nishi is impulsive, brothers are two years old It’s too light, I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the crowd. Elder brothers are like fathers, after I leave, their lives and future will be in your hands.”

With these words, Yihe was placed in a position that was too high.

Yihe stood stiffly, facing the heavy burden that was forcibly thrust in front of him, hesitant, self-deprecating, hesitant, hesitant to reach out to take it.

As if knowing what Yihe was worrying about, Hitohiko raised his arm, and slowly beckoned to Harry who was at the door: "Then who——you come here too."

When Harry came close, he grabbed Harry's arm with a speed that was too abnormal for a seriously injured patient.

Harry was taken aback, and thought inappropriately: This old patriarch Hinata, wouldn't he beat him to vent his anger before he died?

Fortunately, Ren Yan was not as small-minded as he thought, he just grabbed his arm, and with the other hand grabbed the corner of Yihe's clothes, pulling Yihe over as well.

Ren Yan said to Yihe: "I have worked with this person for half a year, and I have somewhat understood his character and his strength. Although the gender is inappropriate and he is still a foreigner, it is undeniable...he will indeed be a qualified partner .”

He held Harry's arm, and put Harry's hand on the back of Kazuka's.

He didn't say it clearly, but the meaning of the action was obvious-he admitted the feelings and relationship between the same-sex lovers that were not tolerated by the world.

Yihe stared at his overlapping hands with the other person, for a long while, blood welled up in the corners of his eyes, and even his entire eye sockets were red.

At this moment, he finally made up his mind, and raised his hand to hold Ren Yan's hand that was about to withdraw.

"I will take good care of my two younger brothers, please rest assured." He solemnly promised, paused, and whispered out an unfamiliar title that he hadn't used for more than 20 years, "...Father."

Afterwards, Ren Yan continued to explain for a while, about the situation of the various lines of the family, how to balance the power of the family, the location of the distribution of private property in the family, available people and things that need attention, and where are the secrets of the ancestral family kept... …

Both the day's footsteps and the day's difference were a little cloudy, but Yihe listened carefully, and Harry used magic to manipulate the pen and paper to help me take notes.

After saying what he should say, Ren Yan was so tired that he closed his eyes again.

He paused for a while, and, with unquestionable determination, let Harry throw all three brothers out.

He inhaled hard, for the first time in the day—perhaps also the first time in his life—unreservedly showing fragility and helplessness, tossing and turning on the bed, hoarse and painful, all the muscles tensed and stretched , as if the animal is dying in vain and hopeless struggle.Finally, he collapsed on the bed, and with a tear welling from the corner of his eye, he said to Harry, "One more thing to ask of you—let me go with dignity."

Harry nodded in response, took out a bottle of life and death water, and fed him to drink.

In the pure dreamless sleep, Hitohiko's frown that had been frowning all year round finally relaxed.

He fell asleep peacefully like a child, and after walking through this troubled world, he returned to the place where he first came.

Harry cleaned up the blood on Ren Yan's body, changed Ren Yan into clean clothes, covered Ren Yan's face with a white handkerchief, stood beside the hospital bed, and bowed his head in silence for 3 minutes.

At the end of time, between life and death, nothing more.

Harry walked out of the operating room, and was not too surprised to see a large circle of Hyuga clansmen standing outside.Seeing him coming out, Hyuga and the others immediately surrounded him, staring at him eagerly.

Harry shook his head, and said heavily, "We can start preparing for the funeral."

Hyuga and others had been mentally prepared for a long time. When they heard the bad news, their eyes showed sorrow, and they rushed into the tent to bid farewell to the corpse.

At the end of the crowd, Yihe approached step by step, without saying a word, but silently raised his hand, and hugged Harry.

Harry stroked his back, and pressed his head on his shoulder: "It's okay, come on, let me lend you my shoulder."
