Konoha is jubilant.

Because today is the day of the return of the Konoha army.

It's just that some people are happy and some are worried, and those who come back alive are naturally rejoicing.

But if there is only one corpse left, or there is no corpse at all, the mood of the family will naturally not be very happy.

The return from the battlefield is such two extremes.

Weep with joy, or collapse with grief.

This is war.

Life still has to go on, and this emotion, under the wear and tear of the world, will gradually pass.

It's just that there are a lot of names on the memorial monument.

The grand funeral takes place three days later, and all the ninjas who died in the four battles will enter the cemetery on this day.

They are either in their last years, or they are in their prime.

What remains unchanged is that they have a heart that loves Konoha.

The ninjas who died defending their homes are heroes in the hearts of the villagers of Konoha.

It's just the word hero, which has always represented some kind of sadness.

On the day of the funeral, Tsunade personally presided over it, and the three generations of Hokage also appeared to speak.

When it comes to prestige, Tsunade is still nowhere near the three Hokages.

After all, the three generations of Hokage have reigned for decades, and many ninjas have grown up under his watch.

The words of the three generations of Hokage may be more appeaseable to these people.

The light rain was dripping, as if everyone was in the mood.

Naruto and Sasuke were also in the crowd.

This was the second time they had attended the funeral, but the feeling was completely different from the first.

At that time, they were young and did not know what a bond was.

It was also at that time that Iruka told Naruto why people would risk their lives to protect them.

This time, Naruto and Sasuke had a deeper thought.

War is definitely something that should not exist.

Especially when he had just said goodbye to his parents, Naruto felt more emotion in his heart.

What the hell is life, Naruto's unintelligent mind began to ponder.

Kakashi pushed his wheelchair and slowly walked into the cemetery.

It was none other than Kai in the wheelchair.

Using the Eight Gate Dunjia Array, although Kai's injuries were healed by Naruto, it would take a while to recuperate if he wanted to recover completely.

Therefore, now he can only rely on a wheelchair to move.

This is a kind of torture for Kai, who has never stopped.

But there was nothing else he could do.

If you are injured, you naturally have to rest.

Obito did not come today.

Because he wasn't fit to be here.

Maybe he came secretly, but no one knew.

Kai in a wheelchair is a little quiet, not at all like him on weekdays.

Kakashi wasn't surprised, though.

Although Kai is usually not in tune, he is still very serious on occasions like funerals.

The light rain was still falling, which made people a little irritable.

Kai suddenly spoke, "Kakashi." ”

"Huh?"

Kakashi was a little confused.

"Remember what I said at the funeral of the four generations of adults?"

Kai's words pulled Kakashi's memories back to seventeen years ago.

That day, he had just crossed over.

The grief brought to him by the fusion of memories is something he can't forget now.

At that time, Kai also made his vows.

"Remember, you said you were going to die like a hero."

Kai Wenyan smiled widely, his teeth shining brightly.

"yes, I thought it would be great if I could die like a hero and make everyone miss me. It is precisely because of this that youth is meaningful. ”

Kai said quietly, a little different from his usual appearance.

Kakashi listened silently and didn't speak.

"My father left me because of his protection, and he proved the power of the Eight Gate Dunjia and proved that he was not a waste. That spirit has always inspired me. I frantically practiced the Eight Gates Dunjia, hoping that one day I could open the last door of life for the things I was guarding, just like my father. ”

"Kai, you did it." Kakashi said softly.

"Yes, I did it, after the consumption of the Eight Gate Dunjia Array, at the last moment of my life, I only had relief in my heart, but no fear of death."

At this, a bigger smile appeared on Kai's face.

"Kakashi, I think I can fully understand my father's mood at that time. There was never fear in his heart, only hope. ”

"Uncle Dai's fire of youth has continued in you. Now, you've passed on the fire of your youth to Lee too, haven't you? Kakashi laughed.

"Not bad! Kakashi, do you know what the secret of inheriting this flame of youth is? ”

Kai said, suddenly revealing a mysterious smile.

Kakashi was a little puzzled, "What is it?" ”

"Hey, hey, that's it!"

Kai said as he pulled out the green tights from his ninja bag.

Three black lines immediately appeared on Kakashi's face.

"This dress perfectly achieves excellent ventilation and moisturizing properties, and the perfect and outstanding fit in one blow, it is the ultimate suit, and it is the only one that can perfectly inherit the flame of youth! Li is wearing this suit and inheriting the fire of my youth, you see that Ning Ci and Tian Tian are just because they don't wear it, so they look listless. Kakashi, do you want a set? ”

Kakashi lifts his forehead.

"I refuse."

"Ahh It's a shame, Kakashi, once you put on your clothes, walking down the street will definitely increase your chances of turning heads! ”

This is true, it's just that kind of turning back, I'm afraid it will make people think, this guy shouldn't be a fool, right?

This kind of return rate is terrifying when you think about it.

"Kakashi! Don't go, I'm going to promote it in the village. When the time comes, you can also recommend it to me. ”

Kakashi left the white flower alone at the memorial monument, completely ignoring Kai behind him.

The guy always freaks himself out of the blue.

After all these years, I still haven't completely gotten used to it.

Seeing the familiar names on the memorial monument, Kakashi stretched out his right hand and stroked it gently.

"Father, Mother, Lynn, Teacher Watergate, Mrs. Kushina, everything is gone. You can rest easy, too. ”

A light rain gradually dissipated.

The crowd at the funeral also faded.

The cemetery, which was still full of people, fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

At this time, a figure slowly walked in.

A tall figure, a black robe, and a mask of darkness.

The man took off his mask, revealing his face beneath it.

The right side of his face has a strange scar, but the left side of his face is as smooth as a mirror.

The slender right hand slowly rose and gently stroked a name on the memorial tablet.

It feels like stroking your lover's face.

"Lynn, I'm back. Sorry I'm late. ”

At this time, a drop of rain fell from the newly cleared sky, and it landed right on Obito's left cheek.

Obito was stunned for a moment, and touched the drop of rain with his left hand.

A warm smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Lynn ......"
