Konoha Qiweiju

"woke up?"

It's the sound of meatballs.

Zhen Xiu turned around, revealing his wrinkled face.

At this moment, he is no longer the eighteen-year-old face.

Some of them just have the appearance of an old man in his sixties.

Even older.

This is the side effect of Yin Seal.

Once overdrawn, it will cause great damage to the body.

It will take some time to recover.

It's like Tsunade overdrafted and turned into an old woman.

However, the true cultivator was stronger than Tsunade, so he did not fall into a coma.

"Where's Minato? Where's Xiaona?"

Zhenxiu squeezed the quilt tightly, his eyes filled with worry and expectation.

Worried about their safety.

Looking forward to Rouqiu’s answer that it’s okay.

But when Rouqiu heard this, he said nothing and his eyes only flickered.

Zhenxiu jumped up from the bed quickly, grabbed the meat ball, and asked angrily: "Tell me! What happened to them!"

"Zhen Xiu, please calm down. You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"

Got the answer…

It's just that this answer is not the answer he wants.

The real cultivator stopped, with only empty eyes left.

"Did you fail? Still failed... Even if I did so much, I still failed..."

Zhenxiu sat down on the ground, as if his computer had stopped.

Combined with his gray hair and wrinkles on his face, he looked full of lifelessness.

The atmosphere was extremely low-pressure.

Rouqiu looked at Zhen Xiu and did not dare to speak.

This is the first time Meatball has seen such true cultivation.

Even when Mito died, Shinshu never showed such an expression.

Meatball doesn't quite understand why Zhenxiu is so excited this time.

When it comes to relationships, Kushina and Minato together are probably not as good as one Mito.

But how could Meatball know that?

True cultivators hate their own powerlessness.

I hate myself for being weak.

He had obviously made complete preparations, and even sealed two tailed beasts in succession.

But it still failed.

Isn't it enough to achieve this level?

I really don't know what this is for.

Is he really unable to resist the development of this plot?

"Oh, yes, I'm just a cook. What qualifications do I have to compete with this world of ninjas? Isn't my original wish just to be a cook and taste all the delicious food in the world?"

Zhenxiu laughed, looking a little crazy.

That weird smile made Meatball shudder.

This kind of true cultivation is really scary.

Zhen Xiu stood up and said no more.

With his old appearance, even those closest to him would not be able to recognize Zhen Xiu.

True cultivators walk on the street.

All people are wearing black clothes.

Funerals naturally require black clothing.

They even wore white flowers on their chests.

Zhenxiu was originally wearing black clothes, so he blended in and didn't look out of place.

Meatball followed Zhen Xiu without disturbing him.

It just follows true cultivation so quietly.

It doesn't know what Zhenxiu is thinking at this time.

It only knows that at this time, it needs to follow him.

The feelings cultivated over the years have made it understand that now, there is no need to say anything.

Across the streets, through the alleys.

In the distance, there is a funeral.

In the middle of the funeral, there was a photo.

In the photo, there is the bright smile of the fourth generation.

That smile seemed to dispel all the gloom.

That smile is like the warm sunshine in winter.

But now, this smile and that person have left forever.

Zhenxiu watched from a distance and stopped.

He seemed afraid to take another step forward.

At this moment, he was full of twilight.

He looks like an old man and acts more like an old man.

And he is the kind of old man who is about to die.

It was dull and lifeless.

He is basically two different people from the one he used to be.

"Grandpa, why are you standing here? Are you here to attend the funeral too?"

A childish voice came from behind.

Zhenxiu didn't pay attention.

The owner of the voice stepped forward.

Green clothes, thick black eyebrows.

It's Kai.

Next to Kai was Kakashi who looked indifferent.

"Grandpa? What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"

Kai looked confused, he didn't recognize Zhen Xiu.

In fact, no one can recognize such true cultivation.

Zhenxiu still didn't answer, and when Kai wanted to say something else, Kakashi beside him said: "Don't disturb him. He looks very sad. There should be important people who died in yesterday's battle. Let him

Just be quiet for a while."

Kai nodded.

He understands that feeling.

Kai turned around and took two steps, but suddenly said: "Grandpa, don't be too sad, life will always go on. I believe those who died also hope to see you live well, come on! Youth will never be there.

The end!"

After saying that, there was a big smile.

Although it is silly, it also has a hint of warmth.

This feels good.

Zhenxiu's empty eyes also improved slightly.

But it's just a little bit.

From a distance, Zhen Xiu watched the funeral from start to finish.

Then, he left quietly.

He returned to the Qiweiju, the place that could give him the most warmth.

It's been three days.

Zhenxiu has been huddled next to the stove for three days.

He clearly looks like an old man, but he feels aggrievedly like a child.

Meatball still didn't speak, just stayed with him.

It walked up to Zhenxiu and got into his arms.

The furry body touched Zhenxiu's cold hands.

Zhen Xiu lowered his head and looked at the meat ball.

Those big watery eyes only showed one emotion at the moment.

appease.

Rouqiu, who had always been aloof, actually had a somewhat flattering expression at this moment.

Normally, Zhen Xiu would definitely make fun of him.

But now, he has done nothing.

He just laughed softly.

The arc of that smile was very light.

The withered right hand gently touched the orange hair of the flesh ball.

It feels good and warm.

"Meatball, let's get out of here."

The real cultivator spoke.

"Where to go?"

"have no idea."

"What to do."

"have no idea."

"Then let's go."

I don’t know anything, but I’m still willing to leave here with you.

A trace of tenderness flashed in Zhen Xiu's eyes.

"Thank you, Meatball."

The next day, Shichimiju disappeared among the leaves.

Konoha was immersed in sorrow and no one noticed.

By the time the busy Third Hokage discovered this, it was already three days later.

The right hand that was correcting the document hesitated for a moment, and finally fell.

"well……"

How could he not understand Zhen Xiu's feelings?

Leaving now may not be a bad thing.

There are really too many mysteries surrounding this Nine-Tails incident.

No one knows what happened during the time when Minato and Shinshu were separated.

The truth of the matter is probably not that easy to accept.

Everything is not over yet.
