Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Xue Nai... Take Naruto back to the village and use that secret passage. As the deputy commander of the defense force, you should know why Minato chose this place."

With his own hands, he covered the two young corpses with a white cloth that symbolized death, and looked at the blood-stained faces of these two young people who were supposed to be alive and full of joy as they greeted their new family members. Eyes, slowly lowered his head.

Nine Tails has been sealed.

However, the battle is not over yet.

Now, Naruto must be sent back to the village and protected closely, and he must also start thinking about the protection measures for Naruto.

He can't be allowed to make the same mistakes as his mother!

However, he didn't get any response to his voice, let alone a response, Xue Nai beside him didn't even move at all, and his face still kept the look of wide-eyed eyes, as if, in front of her, only nine When Oka became Chakra Liu and was sealed into Naruto's body, his own Kushina-sensei and Minato-sensei were in front of him, because they lost their support and life, and slowly fell in front of her.

And from that moment on, her already stiff body, widened eyes, pale and tear-stained face never changed in any way.

Even if Sandai Hokage stuffed the warm and soft baby into her hands, he just subconsciously hugged the baby tightly, the child of his teacher. Her brain was completely blank at this moment, completely There is no response.

The grief, so intense that she couldn't bear it, had completely deprived her of rational thinking.

how so……

Teacher Kushina...

Teacher Jiushina, how could he die?

How could it be possible to die?

But at this moment, her mind was filled with these thoughts, which resurfaced repeatedly, as if she was questioning herself again and again, unable to accept the reality.

To be honest, Xue Nai never thought about it at all. She couldn't imagine losing this teacher, nor could she accept the fact that the teacher left her.

For her who has no mother, she has a bad temper, but she has always taken her with her sincerity. In the most difficult and depressed times, it is because of the teacher's company that she can cheer up and persevere.

It's like being your own mother.

Yes, not only Chiba, but for Xue Nai and Hirohiko, Kushina is the one who saves them, exists like a mother, the one who frees them from loneliness, the one who treats them best, It was also the person they were least willing to lose, so they could sacrifice their lives for her.

But now, for Xue Nai, Hirohiko died in battle, her teacher also died in battle, and Chiba didn't know whether she was alive or dead. In the face of real death, her psychological defense line has been completely destroyed, and she has no way to accept the fact in front of her.

"Snow……"

And noticing that Xue Nai didn't respond at all, Sandai Hokage just wanted to scold, after all, the battle has not really ended yet, and among the ninjas present, only Xue Nai is the most reliable, and because she is the vice captain of the defense force, she knows All the secret passages here can guarantee 100% that Naruto can return to the village safely.

However, as soon as he uttered a word, he saw the face of the girl beside him who couldn't believe the reality in front of him. He scolded him severely, but he couldn't continue.

How many times?

How many times has it been?

But in his heart, he began to question himself.

He has experienced this scene of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man countless times.

He can't count how many times he has experienced this kind of scene where a child loses his relatives and parents.

Even, at this moment, in the mind of the Third Hokage, the child who stared blankly at the remains of his parents had already appeared.

At that time, under his blond hair and in those blue eyes, he could clearly recall the endless sadness and pain.

How similar to the current situation.

At the same time, he could also recall the soft but firm voice of this blond boy who had suddenly become an orphan.

I will become Hokage and end the war.

At that time, he noticed this tough but gentle boy.

And at this time, when recalling the blond boy, he couldn't help but pop up in his mind the girl who came to Konoha alone, with beautiful red hair but always feeling full of loneliness.

Stubborn, bad-tempered, but fragile girl.

It seems to be the complete opposite of the characteristics shown by boys.

The boy looks gentle and weak, but he is extremely tough, with such a strong and passionate heart.

The girl looks hot and powerful, but in fact, she is very fragile inside.

However, even though her heart is very fragile, she still bears the agglomeration of hatred and resentment, Nine Tails.

For a village that has little to do with her, as well as everyone in the village, she, who seems strong but fragile, has taken on all of this.

And he is always attracted to these two children intentionally or unintentionally. When he is free, he can't help but pay attention to the two children. Unknowingly, he seems to be more and more concerned about the recent situation of these two children.

Intermittently, but they have witnessed the growth of the two, the mutual support between the two, and the sincere feelings between the two.

He is really happy.

Of course, there are also some things that are not very happy. I seem to spoil the girl too much, and the boy is a little too accommodating to the girl. As a result, the girl is sometimes a bit willful, and her temper becomes hotter. Save.

In the end, the boy became Hokage.

Girls have become the most important people in Hokage.

The person who can support Hokage the most.

But now, looking at the young corpse in front of him, the scenes of the growth of these two children emerged in his mind.

The Third Hokage finally fell silent, and a deep sorrow gradually appeared on his old and tired face due to overwork.

For him, these two children grew up watching them grow up!

He watched these two children step by step to the present, and they became parents!

Just like my own child!

However, in the end, I couldn't do anything. I could only watch the two children enjoy the moment when their new family was born at the moment when they should be the happiest, and sacrifice their precious and young life for the sake of the village and everyone.

At this moment, Sandai Hokage's heart was already full of grief.

Although as a Hokage, although he has experienced countless joys and sorrows, but the three generations of Hokage, no, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment, can only be silent.

Almost, I can't think of any words that can comfort the little girl beside me.

"despair!"

And at this moment, the forest on the edge of this hidden place pointed out that the sound of a foot stepping on a branch suddenly resounded.

"who!"

In an instant, Sandai Hokage's heart trembled, and he suddenly looked over there.

Then, in the next second, his face slowly relaxed.

Very good……

This child is still alive.

And in his heart, there was some comfort.
