The Legend of Chiba of Konoha

Chapter 596 Remembrance

Chapter 596 Remembrance
In Muye Village, the tomb of heroes, in front of the stele engraved with war heroes.

"I didn't expect that among the few of us, the real number turned out to be the first to leave."

Looking at the familiar name engraved on the stele, Huojian spoke slowly, although his tone was calm, his eyes were shining with sadness.

"Ms. Jiraiya always said that the real number will be the one who will live the longest among us, but..."

On the edge of Huojian, there was a handsome blond man standing. Hearing Huojian's words, he pursed his lips lightly, and tried his best to suppress the sadness in his blue eyes.

"Watergate……"

And at this time, behind the handsome man, a snow-white hand quietly stretched out and held his slightly trembling hand, and a worried and sad female voice sounded behind him.

"I am fine."

Sensing the worry and sadness of the red-haired beauty behind him, Minato Namikaze shook his head, keeping his eyes on the name on the stele, and gently clenched that snow-white hand.

"Remember? When you graduated from the ninja school, when I and Zhenshu besieged you?"

At this time, Huo Jian said again, in the sadness in his eyes, a trace of nostalgia suddenly rose.

"Of course I remember, it scared me, and I was almost beaten to the ground by you."

Hearing Huogen's words, a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of Namikaze Minato's mouth, and he spoke.

And in his mind, the day when the ninja school graduated, and even that day, the appearance of the comrades beside him and the silent child who was called "the tail of the crane" by other students, he can still clearly recall .

He remembered that on that day, when they received the class assignment information and arrived at the woods at the assembly point, the two teenagers who suddenly attacked from both sides.

"It was us who were beaten down, no, it was me to be precise, that guy really counted, but he fought you for more than fifty rounds."

Huo Jian shook his head, said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his head slightly, as if recalling the scene at that time.

"Ah, he's such a tough guy, every time he knocks him down, he gets back up again."

Namikaze Minato also smiled slightly, and the unremarkable but stubborn boy emerged from his memory, especially his firm eyes at that time, which he will never forget. The owner of these eyes is definitely him since childhood, until now, Bar none of the toughest enemies I've ever encountered.

"Haha, I remember that time, you, who have always been calm and gentle, seem to have been really fired!"

As if recalling the scene at that time, Huo Jian suddenly smiled, slowly gloating.

"Yes, but to be precise, it's not that I'm angry, but... I'm afraid. He is really a very difficult opponent. I almost feel like I can't beat him." Namikaze Minato sighed, that battle , although it was an unremarkable battle when he was young, he probably will never forget it in his life.

"That's why you were punched away by him?"

Hearing Namikaze Minato's exclamation, Kazuma said half-jokingly.

"Ah! Yes, he showed his flaws and was caught by him."

Namikaze Minato nodded with a smile, and unconsciously caressed his right cheek with his empty right hand. At that time, the pain of that punch seemed to be clearly felt, as well as the dirt-stained but determined little girl. The face seems to be still in front of my eyes.

"Qi! You must have let the water go."

But this was refuted by Huo Jian, who spat.

"No water."

Namikaze Minato emphasized it a bit.

"Well, no matter what, we were all beaten up by Kushina who passed by in the end. If Mr. Jiraiya hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that Zhenshu and I would have to go to the hospital. And, I remember even with Jiraiya-sensei was also beaten badly...Since then, Shinsuke took a detour when he saw Kushina."

Hearing Namikaze Minato's emphasis, Kazuma did not continue this question, but told the final ending.

"Pfft!"

And speaking of this, Kushina who was standing behind Namakaze Minato couldn't help but burst out laughing, two lines of tears, because of this smile, was squeezed out of her eye sockets, and slid down her snow-white cheeks, two tears Tears come.

"True number, I seem to be most afraid of Kushina."

Rarely, Minato Namakaze couldn't help teasing a bit.

"That guy hasn't spoken much, but he has always supported me. The sneak attack was also because of my displeasure. He was just trying to help me. However, he worked harder than me."

But the next moment, the smile on Huo Jian's face was frozen. Looking at the name on the tablet, his voice became low and deep, but his tone was full of deep feelings. He had a deep affection for that old friend who had fallen asleep here. Feelings.

"Ah, if it weren't for him, maybe we would have died several times. With him as a backup, I always feel very reliable. Before we know it, we will all be a little messy."

Namikaze Minato nodded, his voice was equally low and full of strong emotion.

"Since when have we been on less missions together?"

Huojian murmured, with memories in his eyes, as if asking himself a question.

"Let's start from when you became the assistant of Hokage and I was promoted to the elite Jonin."

Namakaze Minato opened his mouth, his lips pursed slightly.

"Yeah, that's when we officially disbanded."

Huojian seemed to be stunned, and let out a breath like a long sigh.

"Ah."

Namakaze Minato nodded, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Still thinking, one day we will perform another mission together..."

After letting out a breath, Huo Jian clenched his teeth tightly, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Ah."

Namikaze Minato nodded silently, but the "hmm" seemed to tremble slightly, and he held Kushina's hand a little tighter.

But at this moment, behind him, Jiu Xinna sniffed, tears could not be held back after all, and streamed down.

"Okay! I'm going to carry out the mission, time flies so fast."

At this time, Huo Jian suddenly turned around, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said pretending to be free and easy.

"Between the fire..."

Namikaze Minato turned his head and looked at that figure from behind.

"Thank you, Minato, for bringing back the remains of Shinji."

Turning his back on his back, Huo Jian spoke, but his voice was trembling, almost nasal.

"It's what I have to do."

Namikaze Minato responded, but also clenched his teeth lightly.

"Then, you must become Hokage, and then I will be your assistant!"

Fire said again.

"must."

Namikaze Minato nodded heavily.

"Then, bye."

After slowly raising his left hand and giving a thumbs up gesture, Huo Jian's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Between the fire...

Looking at the place where he disappeared, Namikaze Minato frowned tightly.

"Watergate……"

At this time, Jiu Xinnai leaned slightly towards his sweetheart's shoulder, and said, "Go back, you have to prepare for the mission."

"Ah."

Namikaze Minato withdrew his target, tightening the softness in his hand.

You must, must come back safely and become my assistant!
At this moment, in Namikaze Minato's mind, the scene of the day when they completed their team's first mission and the three of them collapsed at the gate of the village from exhaustion came to mind.

"Speaking of which, Minato, what is your dream?" The young man Huoma fell on the ground in large characters indecently, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he suddenly asked.

"Hokage, I want to become Hokage and protect everyone in the village." The boy Minakame closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips.

"Hey - it's a great dream, what's the real number?" The young man blinked and asked again.

"Teacher, an ordinary ninja teacher." The young Morino Masaru said simply.

"You actually want to be a teacher?" The young man Huoma was very surprised.

"I am an idiot. Thanks to the teaching of Mr. Jiraiya, I can find my own way. There will definitely be idiots like me in the future. I want to teach them as much as possible and guide them to find their own way." Young Morino Zhenshu replied very seriously.

"Homaze, what about you?" At this moment, the boy Namikaze Minato asked.

"It feels like your dreams are all great. I... don't seem to have any dreams, but now, it's decided." The young man blinked and said.

"What?" asked the young Morino Shinsuke.

"Hmm... Hokage always needs an assistant. Since Minato is going to be Hokage, then I'll be his assistant." The young Hokage said.

"Really? That's great! With Hikami around, I will definitely be a good Hokage." The boy Namikaze Minato burst into a joyful smile.

"Then, it's agreed, we must realize our dreams." The usually silent teenager Morino Shinsuke also showed a rare joyful smile.

"Well, it's agreed!"

The boy Huoma and the boy Namikaze Minato responded at the same time.

Those days seem to be still yesterday...

Namikaze Minato took a last look at the hero monument, took a slight breath, and left the cemetery with Kushina.

And after they all left...

A ray of breeze slowly brushed over the monument of heroes, stirring the bunch of flowers in front of the monument.

I'm sorry, let's take a step first, you two must work hard!
Goodbye!

Best friends.

While the petals trembled, there seemed to be a soft regretful voice.

At this moment, Namakaze Minato and Huoma who had left stopped at the same time, turned their heads together, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Real number, is that you?
