Chapter 158: The name on the memorial tablet [5/7] (2/2)
Now all the major ninja villages have carried out information blockades against Konoha, so it has become very difficult for Konoha to spy on the intelligence of other villages, especially the sand ninja village in the desert.
While thinking about Sarutobi Hiruzen, a ninja from Anbe appeared and reported.
”Master Hokage, Wunin seems to have changed again.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while, and said: ”Um...what do you want to do?”
After thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Anbe and said, ”Kakashi is back. Let him lead the team to investigate Kiri's movements.”
Kakashi had been promoted to Shinobu a year ago, with outstanding performance and high task completion rate. Now he is Konoha's trusted ninja.
It's just that Feng Ye is a bit incomparable.
”That kid is indeed a genius like a monster.”
Thinking of Feng Ye, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed some regrets again.
Human beings are such contradictory creatures. When Feng Ye was alive, he worried that Feng Ye was out of control, threatening his status and the stability of the village.
But when Feng Ye had been missing for two years, which was basically the same as death, he had some regrets, because if Feng Ye was still there, Konoha's strength would undoubtedly rise by another level.
”Forget it.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and finally shook his head, and stopped thinking about Maple Yeh. Maple Ye became Konoha's eternal hero, perhaps the best result.
...
The outskirts of Konoha.
This is a cemetery, where Konoha's comfy monument is located.
In the back is a large tombstone, with dead ninjas buried below, and in the front, there is a stone monument with a large number of ninjas who are regarded as ”heroes”.
In the middle and lower part of this huge stone monument, there is a name that is larger than the other names engraved. That name is--
Hatake Maple Night.
Ninjas are generally judged dead if they are missing for one year, and they are dealt with according to death, while Fengye was postponed until two years before being engraved as a hero.
”...”
There is a young girl standing in front of the stele. She is Nohara Rin, looking at the stele in silence.
Next to the larger name of Hatake Fengye, there is also a smaller name inscribed. That name is Uchiha Obito.
”Lin, you really are here.”
Kakashi's voice came from behind, with a trace of silence, after looking at the stele, he said, ”Go, Lynn, Lord Hokage has a new task assigned.”
Lin was silent, put the two bouquets of flowers in front of the stone monument, reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, then turned to look at Kakashi, and nodded: ”Let's go.”
The two walked far away together.
As he left, Kakashi turned his head and glanced at the stone monument behind him again, and said in a low voice: ”This kind of memorial is meaningless...Big Brother will be back sooner or later.”
Although Feng Ye has been missing for two years and the hope in his heart has been wiped out, he still has a trace of trust and believes that Feng Ye will return.
It's just that maybe twenty years later.
Because I have met people who traveled through time and space twenty years later.
”Kakashi...”
Lin looked at Kakashi, bit her lip.
Although Kakashi has always been indifferent on the surface and seems to care nothing, but in her opinion, Kakashi should have suffered more intensely than her. After all, the person whose name is engraved there is Kakashi. One of Casey's elder brothers is a partner in the team.
She took a gentle breath, smiled hard at Kakashi, and said, ”Well, I also believe that Feng Ye will not leave this world so easily.”
Kakashi glanced at her.
Then continue to walk forward.
