Shadow Stream of Leaf

"You know me?" Senshou Tomona said his name while paying attention to the change of Yu Yu's expression. The latter was surprised and surprised when he heard his self-introduction, but in this mood There's also a little bit of a "sure enough" feeling hidden in it.

"Ah... Anyone who pays a little attention to the Great War will naturally know the name of Hokage from the Land of Fire. For ordinary people like us, you are one of the chief culprits that caused our life and death to be different and we were displaced." Hanyu immediately He restrained his expression, even though the dusty memories in his mind for many years were constantly surging, he must not be too obvious... He was even giving a plausible explanation for his momentary emotional abnormality.

While talking, he pointed to the middle of his forehead, indicating that there was a ninja logo on the other side. Although ninja is a very mysterious profession, it is by no means impossible for ordinary people to recognize the mark on the forehead of the opponent... It belongs to a ninja village called "Konoha".

Fire Country, Konoha Hidden Village, Second Hokage, after the other party said his name, it is a "reasonable" thing for a commoner like Hanyu to describe his identity more accurately...

Although for Hanyu, if the other party's face was not half bloody and half muddy, he should have recognized the other party long ago, but he absolutely can't show any strangeness in this kind of thing.

"Big man..." Hanyu could only pretend to be so emotional. In his mind, compared with his own memory, the process of the incident before him has been outlined in more detail. The dying person in front of him is the second generation. Hokage, those two people who died in a pool just now should be Yun Yin's golden horn and silver horn.

"War?" Under normal circumstances, Hanyu's almost accusatory words would have caused the other party to say "War is never a matter of one side, and no one wants to start a war", but for Senshoubei at this time In terms of time, there is no need to say these anymore... Although Konoha is indeed the invaded party in the present war, their war should be described as a defensive counterattack, but these are for a vagrant. , is it really necessary to care about it?

Even Senju Tobima considers himself the "culprit" as Hanyu said.

"How old are you?" Senshou Feijian asked Hanyu, maybe it was the reflection of the light from the exhausted lamp, he became more vigorous at this time.

"13 years old? It should be about the same. I don't remember clearly...Is there any question?" Hanyu subconsciously followed the other party's words and replied.

"No, I just feel that your words and deeds don't look like a child of this age, but... there is nothing wrong with it."

Whether it's clear speech, calm attitude, or logical behavior, Hanyu's behavior really doesn't look like what he should be at this age... The most obvious characteristic of a child is his emotional words and deeds, which are completely visible to him. less than.

If a child of this age is not a ninja, it would be good not to yell and yell in fear when facing a dying person like Senshou Feijian, and it is impossible to communicate calmly.

The Second Hokage wondered about Hanyu's "early intelligence", but this is actually not worthy of praise, boast or even a special mention. After all, Hanyu looks young, but this is already his second life.

Unfortunately, he seems to have been born into a troubled world. The only advantage that can be sustained is that if he rummages through his memory hard, Hanyu can find some information about this troubled world, or it is called "ninja world".

"With more experience, people will naturally behave more maturely." Hanyu said ambiguously, at this time he had sorted out the memories in his mind, and focused more on the things in front of him.

One is one of the Five Shadows that can shake the world, and the other is just a "waif". Start your own life.

"Can you do me a favor?" For the current Qianshoubeijian, there is no time and no need to entangle some irrelevant issues, "I will ask you to dispose of my body later, on people like me There are too many secrets and information, so it must be prevented from falling into the hands of the enemy, and the best way is to burn me clean with a fire, and completely erase my existence."

"Is there nothing you can do about such an important posthumous matter?" Hanyu never thought that the other party would actually make such a request.

"Originally, I had such strength and means, but after dealing with your injuries, I can no longer take care of myself... As you can see, I can't even stand up now; Some people say that it is too inhuman to let a person erase his own body." At this time, Qianshou Feijian rarely showed his dark humor.

Yes, black humor... It is very common for ninjas who want to protect their secrets to dispose of their own remains when they commit suicide.

Not giving Hanyu a chance to refuse, Senju Tomona continued, "Through the conversation just now, I can hear that you are a person who longs for a peaceful life, and in the current world, there is no more peaceful place than a ninja village. It’s a safe place, so if you bring news about me back to Muye Village, they will take you in.”

The ninja's village is naturally relatively stable, but... "Will ordinary people and outsiders settle in the ninja's village casually, not to mention that it is still a time of war..."

Hanyu was moved, but even more puzzled.

"Konoha will take you in, as long as you are not a spy from other villages, hand this over to them, and everything will be fine." Qian Shou Feijian said firmly, and at the same time put a piece of paper in his on the knee.

Of course Hanyu was not a spy, but he didn't understand why the other party would trust him, a stranger. You must know that the person in front of him was the Second Hokage, so he couldn't help asking, "If you are really a Konoha ninja? If you are a big shot in the village, won’t you get a lot of benefits if you are handed over to other villages?”

"No, you won't."

"Why do you say that."

"This is closer to the border of the Land of Fire, and much closer than other countries."

"Understood……"

Even if it's just for safety considerations, Hanyu will not look far away.

"Then everything about me is considered to be well arranged." Qian Shoufan sighed deeply, not knowing whether he was feeling regretful or relieved, but after saying this, he never spoke again.

Hanyu just sat there quietly, he didn't think about Hokage for the time being, he was just trying to suppress his pain and slowly recover his energy.

"Hello."

After about two hours, he tried to call the other party.

There was no answer, and there was no sound in the tree hole.

So Hanyu knew it was time for him to start doing something.

He reluctantly stood up, walked to the other party's side, first picked up the piece of paper, and found that there was a code word that he could not read on it. Not caring about the content, Hanyu carefully placed it in his arms.

Then he stretched out his hand to feel the breath between Tan Qian's hands, and found that he was indeed not breathing.

With Hanyu's injury, it is generally impossible to regain his mobility so quickly, and he can walk freely now, so it is conceivable that the person in front of him has indeed healed him in some way.

The tree hole was full of fallen leaves and small dry firewood. Hanyu didn't move the opponent's body, but piled all these things around the opponent, and then he turned and walked out of the hole, looking for those things in the drizzle. Damp but still flammable firewood. After spending most of the day going back and forth, he finally filled most of the tree hole with combustibles.

Lighting a fire would not be a problem for a wanderer like Hanyu, but before lighting the flame, he was silent for a while, then walked towards the Thousand Hands Gate again, and then he reached out and took off the other's forehead guard.

Then, he finally lit the flame, and after confirming that the fire was rising, he quickly withdrew and left the tree hole.

The smoke spread quickly, and the chill brought by the autumn rain was dispelled by the flames, but after all, it was in the rain, and the fuel was only wood, so Hanyu still doubted whether such a fire could meet the requirements of the other party. The requirement of "completely burn yourself to ashes".

But in the next moment, his worry disappeared, because with a few popping sounds from the flame, the fire seemed to be poured into a large tank of gasoline, rolling up, and it didn't take a while Together with this big tree, they burned together.

Presumably the flame burned something that the ninja was carrying, and then caused a chain reaction.

In order not to be involved in the flames, Hanyu had to retreat again.

The big tree in front of me, which can even be hugged by ten people, can only be formed after decades and hundreds of years of growth, but in just a few breaths, it has turned into a huge burning torch... Death is always better than death. Growth will come short and violent.

Under the scorching heat, the drizzle that fell from the sky quickly turned into steaming mist, making the surrounding dense.

I don't know if it will lead to a forest fire, but this doesn't seem to be a matter of concern to Hanyu. What he cares about is that it seems that he can fulfill the agreement with the other party. While thinking this way, he glanced into the flame again... What he saw next made his hairs stand on his head.

The figure in the flames between the doors of Thousand Hands was looming, but at this moment Hanyu saw very clearly that one of the opponent's hands raised a thumb.

It seems to be praising Hanyu for completing the agreed behavior.

In other words, when the fire was burning, even at this moment, Qianshou Feijian not only did not die, but even maintained his own consciousness.

"As expected of...a ninja."

A ninja never trusts others easily, let alone a ninja like the Second Hokage Senju Banma.

With this scene in front of him, Hanyu really didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Coming from the era of war, he followed his elder brother to pacify the troubled times. He was unparalleled in resourcefulness and did not hesitate to intrigue. He always used the most sinister ideas to speculate on his enemies. He was cruel and ruthless, with blood on his hands. He fought and killed several times. No calculation, high-pressure internal rule, tough and gloomy style, Qian Shou Fei Jian's life was spent in killing.

But even for such a person, killing is only a means to achieve an end, not an end in itself. He was willing to save Hanyu who was accidentally injured, not because of good intentions, but just to explain a simple fact:

He is the Hokage of Konoha, not a bloodthirsty criminal or a terrorist against humanity.

In the sixteenth year since the establishment of Konoha Hidden Village, the first ninja war has reached the stage of strategic stalemate, and Konoha has even prepared to conclude a peace and alliance agreement with his main enemy Yun Hidden Village. At the alliance ceremony, Yunyin Rebellion launched a surprise attack, killing the second generation of Raikage and the second generation of Hokage successively, making the joint efforts of both parties since the war all in vain.

The figure in the flames quickly disappeared, but the "torch" continued to burn until the night, and Hanyu had already left here.

Soon after, morning was coming, and the rain stopped. The faint morning light reflected the blue sky after the rain. Hanyu looked back at the place where he stayed last night. The rolling hills and lush vegetation naturally blocked him. He had no way of knowing what was going on there, but... he looked around, and wherever he looked, he could see the extraordinarily beautiful scenery of the world after the rain.

"Konoha..."

Konoha might be a better choice for Hanyu than wandering all the time.

One rain stops here, another rain will fall in the sky beyond sight.
