Chapter 224 The end of the journey
"Let's go, it's time to say goodbye."
Minato waved to Haneda and the others, and the direction he was facing was the tower that Haneda arrived at when he traveled through time and space.
Haneda knew that this journey through time and space had come to an end.
He raised his head and looked at his purple diamond mark through the ice crystals that protected Obito, Kakashi and the others.
That was the Yang Seal formed by dragon veins and stars, and it was also the travel plan that Haneda had planned a long time ago.
"The journey ends at home..."
Haneda looked at Obito and Kakashi. They were smiling and waving at him.
In their view, this was a wonderful mission. They met their future selves, and when they returned, they would also meet their present selves.
But for Haneda, those were happy times gone by.
Haneda looked at Obito deeply, followed Minato, and walked towards the place where the dragon vein was sealed.
At this time, Minato stood in the center of the tower, sealing the core of the dragon vein land.
He turned back to Haneda and said:
"You can give me the Flying Thunder God Kunai."
"Yeah." Haneda returned the Sword of Ninja Love that Minato had given him.
And Minato also began to seal the dragon vein.
At the moment the Sword of Ninja Love was inserted into the hole, a pattern composed of the Four Symbols Seals and the Contract Seals lit up on the ground.
After being completely sealed, light spots emanated from Haneda and Deidara's bodies and began to fade.
Deidara looked at his hand in surprise, and reluctantly turned back to look at Obito:
"senior!"
"It's time to say goodbye. Although I didn't get to see the senior's fire-breathing art in its entirety, I did get to know him briefly, huh!"
"Goodbye, Xiaodi! Maybe we will meet in the future." Obito also said goodbye.
He looked at Haneda and remembered the Rasengan that rose from his palm before.
He could feel the weight and temperature of the Rasengan.
Kakashi leaned against the wall and looked at Haneda with his head tilted:
"Are you planning on running for Hokage in the future, Haneda?"
At this time, Obito also spoke:
"Don't!"
"If you're the Hokage, what am I supposed to be? You bastard Haneda!"
"But..."
"Ahem, it's not impossible, but remember to leave the position of elder for me."
"Well, I want to be the next Hokage, yes, that's it!"
Haneda sensed that the time tunnel was calling him.
He looked deeply into Obito's eyes, and after a few seconds, he knocked Obito's little head hard.
"Hey, what are you doing~ Bastard Haneda!" Obito looked at Haneda angrily.
"Nothing, it's just that you are so powerful that it's hard to hide your tears. I couldn't help but want to beat you up."
"What the hell is going on... Baka! You just want to beat me up!!"
……
Haneda and Obito quarreled for a while, then turned to Minato:
"I will keep my promise to you."
"Hokage?" Minato asked.
"more or less."
"Well, although I don't know what the future holds, but from what An Lushan said, you will become Hokage."
"bless you."
Before leaving, Minato performed a technique to seal his memory, and the space-time tunnel was fully opened.
Haneda took one last look at Obito and recalled the conversation at the Valley of the End three years ago.
"I'll take you back."
"Bring back reality from the hell you've spoken of."
"You will return to your childhood self, and will always be that innocent and kind child who always talks about his dream of becoming Hokage."
"Oh Bitto."
…………
When Haneda and Deidara woke up, the sky was still the same.
Shiraha and Kimimaro and the others stayed by Haneda's side.
At this time, Loulan's Queen Sarah came in and accused:
"You shouldn't use the power here!"
Haneda glanced at Sarah and thought that she had indeed forgotten everything.
He glanced at the people behind Sarah.
It’s different from six or seven years ago, there are much fewer.
"If you can use this power properly, your people will live happily."
"gone."
Haneda walked past Sarah, and Shiro and Kimimaro followed.
Deidara, who had just woken up and was still muttering about his seniors, was very sensible and conjured up a big clay bird.
Haneda and his group stepped on the big bird and left the Loulan ruins.
Sara looked at Haneda's departing back in confusion. He always felt that this young man would achieve something in the future.
After Haneda and others left completely, Sarah checked the seal of the dragon vein.
Seeing that the seal was intact, she embarked on a caravan with his people and continued her wanderings in the Kingdom of Wind.
…………
On the clay bird, Ye Cang asked curiously:
"Mr. Haneda, is your Dragon Vein plan going well?"
"Yeah." Haneda nodded slightly and looked back at the Loulan ruins that were gradually disappearing into the distance.
"I got everything I expected. There were some problems along the way, but they are not important. I have also determined the path I want to take."
"Revolution?" Ye Cang asked subconsciously.
“It’s a means, not an end.”
Haneda then said to Deidara who was sitting in front of the big clay bird,
"Fly towards the Fire Nation, Dee."
"Konoha, right, Brother Haneda?"
"No, let's go to the border first. I still have something to tell Ye Cang, so we'll probably be separated there for a while."
Ye Cang heard the conversation between Haneda and Deidara and knew that he had another mission.
However, after spending most of her life in Sunagakure, she has become accustomed to carrying out missions.
"Remember the first purpose of Dawn?"
"Achieve peace in the ninja world?" Ye Cang had heard Haneda mention this before, and he still remembered it clearly.
Haneda shook his head:
"The wars of this era are coming to an end, and with them a brief peace will come."
“Even if we do nothing, we can still live in peace.”
"But this is far from enough. I missed something important."
Ye Cang, Shiro, Kimimaro, Deidara, and Karin all looked at Haneda at the same time.
Haneda Road:
"Let the people under your rule be happy."
Hearing Haneda's talk about happiness, Shiro, Kimimaro, and Karin recalled the past.
Bai was freed from hunger and loneliness, put on nice clothes, and made new friends.
Kimimaro was no longer alone, no longer wandering in the muddy water, he had a goal in life.
Karin no longer lives as a reserve human blood medical kit. She and her mother leave the hellish life in Kusagakure Village.
Haneda did bring them happiness.
They are also willing to follow Haneda and keep going.
"But how easy is it to achieve such an ideal?"
Ye Cang is different from Bai, Kimimaro and other children. Her experience makes her understand that it is almost impossible to do these things.
But she was willing to follow Haneda.
At least Haneda has a clear direction, which is closer to happiness than her staying where she is.
The giant clay bird continued to fly towards the Fire Country.
After passing the border of the Fire Country, Ye Cang left the team and went to the Bear Country with his own mission.
The bird continued to move forward, and before they knew it, they arrived at their destination - Konoha.
It was getting dark and there was a light snowfall.
Snowflakes fell on the Hokage Rock, causing thick snow to accumulate on the statues of successive Hokage below.
In the distance, street lights illuminate the snow-paved road.
The shops and restaurants on both sides were still open, with pedestrians coming in and out sporadically.
The moonlight shone on Haneda's young face as he stood on Hokage Rock, watching the fireworks of Wanjia in front of him.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, lifting Haneda's black cloak.
The young man suddenly felt emotional:
"It's just a little bit of wind and frost."
