Chapter 380 Goodbye, Kanon! Traveling through the long river of time!!

In Akatsuki, Obito lowered his head, and Rin did the same.

Obito felt as guilty towards Kanon as Itachi did, but now, no matter how he apologized, Kanon would never come back.

Behind Akatsuki are Tobirama and Izuna, as well as many of Konoha's current high-ranking officials and their former colleagues.

Everyone came, and following everyone's footsteps, everyone arrived at the cliff, which was once Kanon's favorite place and the place where she first met Naruto.

Naruto looked at the woods where Kanon once trained, now looking unusually decrepit and lonely.

This place, which once witnessed Hanane's growth and struggle, now only has memories and traces of time left.

The bull's eye of the shuriken above has lost its former color and become dull, and the once vivid training marks on the tree have become blurred due to long-term exposure to wind and sun.

Amid this desolation, one can occasionally see some traces of the past.

For example, the torn tree stump. Although it is no longer alive, one can imagine the time when Kanon used it to practice physical training. Although it has faded, it is just like yesterday to Naruto.

Where once these woods were filled with the sounds of sweat, laughter, and shurikens, now there is only silence and decay.

Every trace here tells the story of past glory and present desolation.

As time goes by, this place that was once as beautiful as a dream has become a thing of the past, leaving only these silent relics, which make people feel deeply moved.

Obito looked at this place, he was very familiar with it, this was the place where he and Kanon had their first fight. He was six years old at that time, and he really caused him a lot of trouble.

He was very glad that he did not kill her at that time and gave Hanane a way to survive.

Madara and Hashirama set up Kanon's cenotaph here, and then Naruto and Sasuke walked up. Looking at Kanon's cenotaph, they finally couldn't control their emotions at this moment.

Naruto and Sasuke were wearing black clothes and placed the white bouquet in the middle.

Sasuke stepped aside and Naruto took the kunai engraved with the sound in his hand.

This is the Hokage blessing that Kanon gave to Naruto. He doesn't need to return it to her. There is also a specially made kunai engraved with flowers. Naruto wants to wait until he becomes Hokage, then come here and return the kunai to her in person.

That was the agreement between himself and Kanon. In front of Kanon's cenotaph, there was a photo of Kanon on it. Looking at Kanon's sweet smile, Naruto's expression was no longer sad.

He actually forced a smile at this moment, because he felt that Hanane didn't want him to be depressed all the time, so at least at this moment, he wanted to say goodbye to Hanane with a smile.

The sunlight shines through the clouds and onto the flower field, adding a bit of warmth to the land.

Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan came forward, and Nagato took out the Akatsuki's empty ring from his arms.

Yahiko and Konan placed the Akatsuki robes of the Flower team inside special glass and handed them over.

That was an item belonging to Hana. Her name was engraved on the Kong character ring, and the name of everyone on the Hana team, including Hana, was engraved on the Akatsuki robe.

Xiaonan made three bunches of paper flowers and placed them here. With tears in her eyes, she kept stroking the paper flowers with her hands, as if she could feel Hanane's breath and warmth.

She gently placed the white paper flower in the center of the flower field, where there was a bouquet of the most beautiful roses, blooming warmly and unrestrainedly.

Watching this, Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he could inhale Kanon's scent.

His lips trembled slightly, and he began to whisper his inner thoughts:

"Kane, this is your favorite flower field. It's also the place where we first talked about our dreams. I think you'll be happy if I let you stay here."

Naruto's voice was choked with sobs. He tried to look strong, but tears fell unconsciously.

"As a friend, I failed to protect you. I'm sorry that I couldn't let you see me become Hokage."

Naruto clenched his hands into fists, his heart ached as if it was about to break. He knew that Kanon was always so kind and she would not blame him, but he could not forgive himself.

"I will keep going, for you and for our dreams."

"You have to watch me carefully, watch me become Hokage and save the world handsomely..."

Naruto's voice got lower and lower until it was almost inaudible, and his body trembled slightly, revealing his inner vulnerability.

The sun gradually grew brighter, and the roses swayed gently in the breeze, as if Kanon was responding to Naruto's words.

Naruto finally stood up, and Jiraiya came up, holding a wreath in his hand.

Naruto and Jiraiya looked at each other and placed the kunai in a ring surrounded by white flowers.

On top of the flowers, it was written: [Goodbye, Hanane.]

Jiraiya placed the wreath in front of the cenotaph, and immediately everyone half-knelt on the ground, and no one was still standing.

Everyone lowered their heads to see Kanon off. Everyone knew that Kanon had done something greater than the Six Paths Sage, and at this moment, she had become a legend.

......

Beyond Blue Star.

Kanon looked at the ninja world through the stars.

Her eyes kept trembling. When she was a child, she would cry directly if she was sad. But now that she has become a god, she looks at the ninja world in front of her with a smile, but she wants to cry.

But she couldn't cry anymore. She was so lonely. The starry sky was dark, the world was desolate, and the years were ruthless. This was the loneliness of being a god.

Hanane stretched out one hand, and in front of her, the space was breaking and changing, and she stepped in.

That’s right, at this moment, Kanon was actually walking on the long river of time. She went back to the past with her footsteps, back to when she was six years old.

She used divine power to hide herself, without emitting any breath, and she walked on the road of Konoha again. She came to the Uchiha clan's territory and returned to her home.

From a distance, she saw Itachi and Sasuke running out, and then Kanon saw her childhood self.

I saw Mikoto, Fugaku, Shisui and Sister Izumi, and even the elder friends I once knew who died on the night of the genocide.

Kanon looked at her six-year-old self, wearing a blue Uchiha windbreaker and a headband, happily chasing after her two brothers.

For some reason, Kanon, who had already stopped crying, actually shed tears at this moment.

She was in the long river of time, not in the present world, so she could cry. Hanane wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly:

"I have reached such a state, achieved the invincible truth... became the true supreme being..."

"But why am I still crying?"

Hanane kept wiping the tears from her face, but no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn't come away clean, and her heart was trembling.

After watching her childhood self, Itachi and Sasuke running away, Kanon turned around and left, leaving this timeline.

Because many things can never go back to the past. At the age of six, I had everything. I made my first friend, Uzumaki Naruto, and my brother also loved me.

Thinking back carefully, Hanane understood that that moment was her happiest moment, the happiest time in just fifteen years.

At that time, with the help of Shinobu, she began to practice ninjutsu, and with the company of Naruto, although the situation at home began to become tense, at least her brother, father, and mother all loved her.

Kanon then witnessed the night of the genocide, when she fought Obito alone, and through the flower field she saw that Shinobu was secretly transferring chakra to her younger self.

She saw the first time Danzo assassinated her, and when Jiraiya appeared and formed a master-disciple relationship with her.

Next, Kanon saw the story of the Chunin Exam, where she fought alone against Kimimaro, and against Shikamaru and Temari.

He also saw the discussion he and Hinata had while sitting in the park after buying groceries.

There are also scenes where Naruto and Jiraiya practice together, look at the stars at Naruto's house, and talk about their inner thoughts.

Those were stories about my younger self, before I defected from Konoha.

Kanon nodded slightly. When she was in Konoha, although there were dangers, she also had her companions with her.

Afterwards, Kanon continued to move forward along the river of time, and she saw Danzo sending a hundred ninjas to hunt her down.

And the scene when he saw Itachi again after many years, covered in wounds.

And myself, who has trained in Ryuchi Cave for two years and formed many bonds with the snakes.

Then Kanon was stunned. She once again saw Tayuya, Jirobo, Sakon and Ukon, Kidomaru, and her 11-year-old self.

He joined Akatsuki and became a senior-senior brother and sister with Nagato, and then began to capture the tailed beasts for Akatsuki.

I have to say, that was also a very happy time in Kanon's heart.

Everyone in [Akatsuki] was very nice to her, and just like Ryuchidong, it was as warm as home.
