Chapter 158 The Name on the Memorial Monument [5/7]
Mist Ninja Village.
In a certain hall of the Mizukage Building, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Ninja were squatting or standing in different positions in the room, all emitting powerful chakra fluctuations.
The two people killed by Namikaze Minato were finally replaced by newcomers in the past two years.
The person who controlled the political power of the Mist Ninja Village during this period was the Third Mizukage. At this time, he was standing in the hall near the door, looking at the seven ninja swordsmen in the room.
"So you are confident enough to deal with Konoha's golden flash."
"Don't worry, Mizukage-sama."
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost narrowed his eyes and said: "We have completed the cooperative training of tactics. If we encounter Konoha's golden flash again, we will definitely be able to kill him!"
The Third Mizukage nodded and said: "That's good... Next, you will continue to invade from the east of the Fire Country, but don't bring too many people. This time, you will use elite tactics."
"no problem."
"Jie hahaha, leave it to us!"
The seven Ninja swordsmen all grinned ferociously.
Immediately afterwards.
The seven people's figures flashed and quickly disappeared.
The Third Mizukage also stepped out of the hall, but when he was about to walk out, an ANBU ninja suddenly appeared, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and quickly reported:
"Mizukage-sama! Urgent information... The silver flash that has been missing for two years has reappeared. He invaded the Suna Ninja Village alone and caused great damage to the Suna Ninja Village!"
The Third Mizukage narrowed his eyes slightly, but his expression did not change. Instead, he said calmly: "I understand."
Then he continued walking to his office.
The ANBU ninja looked at the back of the third Mizukage and couldn't help but take a breath and murmured: "As expected of Mizukage-sama, even such information can be calm..."
Whoosh!
He also quickly disappeared.
The Third Mizukage returned to his office and poured himself a cup of tea. When he picked up the teacup, he could see his eyes reflected in the teacup.
Those eyes were a scarlet color, dotted with three magatama.
Sharingan!
"Did that kid spend two years absorbing Loulan's dragon vein energy... Maybe he will become a real trouble in the future, but I don't have time to pay attention to him now."
'The Third Mizukage' murmured.
Bai Zetsu's figure emerged from the ground next to him, looked at the 'Third Generation Mizukage' and said, "Madara-sama, do you need me to follow the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"
"No."
Uchiha Madara controlled the body of the Third Mizukage and shook his head.
About a year ago, the Third Mizukage personally led a team to invade the Land of Fire, and this was part of his plan to control the other party with a few tricks. Now all the plans are almost ready.
…
Konoha.
"Is the One-Tail Jinchuuriki going berserk..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the information in his hand and muttered to himself.
There seems to have been some changes in the ninja world recently, and the result of the investigation is that Suna Ninja Village seems to have suffered some losses. The intelligence department analyzed that it may be that one of the jinchūriki of Suna Ninja Village went berserk.
The sealing technique of the Sand Ninja Village is indeed not strong enough and is far less stable than the Bagua seal they inherited from the Uzumaki clan. It is normal for jinchuriki to go berserk.
However, there is no more specific information.
Now all the major ninja villages in the ninja world have implemented an intelligence blockade 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 Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, an ANBU ninja appeared and reported.
"Lord Hokage, the Mist Ninja seems to be doing something strange again."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said, "Well...what do you want to do again?"
After thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the ANBU and said: "Kakashi is back, let him lead the team to investigate the actions of the Mist Ninja."
Kakashi was promoted to Jonin a year ago, performed well, and completed tasks at a high rate. He is now a trustworthy ninja in Konoha.
It's just that it can't be compared with Feng Ye.
"That kid is indeed a monster genius."
Thinking of Kaede Ye, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed some regret again.
Human beings are such contradictory creatures. When Feng Ye was alive, he was worried that Feng Ye would be out of control and threaten his status and the stability of the village.
And when Feng Ye was missing for two years, which was basically equivalent to death, he felt a little regretful, because if Feng Ye was still there, Konoha's strength would undoubtedly rise to another level.
"never mind."
Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a breath and finally shook his head, no longer thinking about Feng Ye. Feng Ye became the eternal hero of Konoha, which may be the best outcome.
…
The outskirts of Konoha.
This is a cemetery and the place where Konoha's commemorative monument is located.
Behind are large tombstones, with dead ninjas buried beneath them, and at the front, there is a stone tablet with the names of a large number of ninjas who were regarded as 'heroes' engraved on it.
On this huge stone tablet, in the middle and lower position, there is a name that is larger than the other names engraved on it. That name is
Hatake maple night.
Ninjas are usually judged dead and treated as such if they disappear for a year, but Feng Ye was delayed until two years before being inscribed as a hero.
"..."
There is a girl standing in front of the stone monument, she is Nohara Lin, she is looking at the stone monument in silence.
Next to the larger name Hatake Kaede, there is also a smaller name engraved on it, and that name is Uchiha Obito.
"Lin, you are indeed here."
Kakashi's voice came from behind, with a hint of silence. After looking at the stone tablet, he said: "Let's go, Lin. The Hokage has sent us a new mission."
Lin was silent, placed the two bouquets of flowers in her hands in front of the stone monument, stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, then turned to look at Kakashi, nodded and said: "Let's go."
The two of them walked towards the distance together.
When leaving, Kakashi turned his head and glanced at the stone tablet behind him, and whispered: "This kind of memorial is meaningless... Brother will come 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 come back.
But that might be twenty years later.
Because I met someone who traveled through time and space from twenty years later.
"Kakashi..."
Lin looked at Kakashi and bit her lip.
Although Kakashi has always been indifferent on the surface and seems to not care about anything, in her opinion, the pain Kakashi has endured should be much more intense than hers. After all, the person whose name is engraved there is Kakashi.
Cassie's brother, one is a partner in the team.
She took a gentle breath, tried her best to smile at Kakashi, and said, "Well, I also believe that Feng Ye will not leave this world so easily."
