Chapter 62: Same beginning, different ending

"Kin Uchiha."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's question, a gentle and warm figure appeared in Uchiha Fenghuo's mind.

He also has curly hair, narrow phoenix eyes, and always a smiling expression, but his impression is completely different from the Uchiha Gin in front of him.

"know."

Uchiha Fenghuo did not hide it, because there was no need. People who were familiar with Uchiha Gold naturally knew the identity of Uchiha Silver.

"What kind of person is he?"

Uchiha Gin, who knew basically nothing about his father, couldn't help but ask.

"This is not the place to talk. Come to a place with me and let's talk slowly."

Sighing, Uchiha Fenghuo suppressed the inexplicable disgust in his heart and invited Uchiha Gin to find a place to talk.

Naturally, Uchiha Gin had no objection. He followed Uchiha Fenghuo to a tavern. After pushing the door open, he led Uchiha Gin into a small booth with familiarity. He ordered a bottle of wine and closed the booth. door.

The two just sat cross-legged, observing each other.

When the wine was on the table, Uchiha Fenghuo poured a glass for both of them, and then drank alone.

"You are really similar to your father, especially your appearance. They are exactly the same."

After a glass of wine, Uchiha Fenghuo, whose face turned slightly warmer, stared at Uchiha Gin's face and said slowly.

"You know my father?"

Judging from Uchiha Fenghuo's tone, he must have a close relationship with his father.

"More than just acquaintance, your father was once my captain and half my teacher."

After drinking a glass of wine, Uchiha Fenghuo took a long breath and said with a nostalgic look on his face,

"Brother Jin was one of the most powerful geniuses at that time. He opened his eyes at the age of eight. He was proficient in using three magatama at the age of twelve. He was good at the five escape techniques and the sealing technique to complete various difficult tasks by himself. He repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in wars."

Uchiha Fenghuo kept listing various feats of Uchiha Jin. He was very excited when talking about it, but as he spoke, his face suddenly darkened.

"pity."

"What's a pity?"

Uchiha Gin, who was listening with interest, quickly asked,

"It's a pity that he died young, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win the position of clan leader."

Uchiha Fenghuo shook his head melancholy and said with regret.

Um, his father almost became the clan leader? I heard Uchiha Yao brag about it in the dungeon, and I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"Can you tell me the details of this?"

Uchiha Gin, who was eager to find the truth, couldn't help but asked curiously.

Regarding the details of Uchiha Jin's sacrifice, Uchiha Yao gave him an explanation. If Uchiha Fenghuo and Uchiha Jin knew each other, would it be consistent with what Uchiha Yao said.

Outside the cubicle, the sound of Uchiha clan members drinking and drinking could be heard endlessly. It was a lively scene. Fingers rubbed the wine glasses, and Uchiha Fenghuo's calm face revealed a rare nostalgia.

"My parents and I, as well as the Tajima clan leader, were teammates in a small team. Your father served as our captain."

Uchiha Fenghuo shook the empty cup in his hand and signaled Uchiha Gin to pour the wine. After filling a glass of sake, he drank it without stopping, which seemed to relieve his sorrow with wine.

"At that time, there was no problem in the preparations for the last mission of our team. In order to take care of me, who was weaker, your father arranged for me to be on the secret sentry position. The mission originally went very smoothly, but at the last moment, something happened. Accident."

Uchiha Fenghuo's voice was low and sad. When he said the word "accident", the hand holding the wine glass was so tight that the veins popped out. The whole person looked extremely emotionally unstable, and his eyes were filled with tears. His usual composure was gone.

"There is a traitor! Someone secretly leaked our mission route and ambushed our enemies several times on the only way. Three teams were on the mission with us, but they were all destroyed. Your father tried his best to lead the team members to break out. come out."

"Were you there?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but ask after hearing the same story told by Uchiha Yao.

"Of course I was there and witnessed the sacrifice of your parents. I'm sorry, but there's really nothing I can do."

Uchiha Fenghuo said with a hint of choke in his voice at the end, and continued with tears in his red tiger eyes,

"I'm a coward. The captain ordered me to leave, but I just left like that. I'm sorry for taking care of him for so long."

"Elaborate."

Uchiha Gin, who noticed that the details were somewhat different, asked aloud,

"What happened in the end?"

"Your parents led the unconscious Tajima clan leader to break out of the encirclement in a bloody battle, but the enemy could not get rid of them. I also joined the battle as a back-up sentry, but it could not have any effect. Being weak, I could only become a burden."

Uchiha Fenghuo closed his eyes in pain, and the words he spoke seemed to drain all his energy.

"At the last moment, your father ordered me to evacuate with the injured and unconscious Tajima clan leader, and they and his wife cut off the queen for us."

"Clan leader Tajima has been unconscious?"

Thinking of the plot told by Uchiha Yao, this is obviously very different from what Uchiha Fenghuo said.

"Yes, Chief Tajima was seriously injured at the time. He came back to receive treatment for a few days before he woke up."

"Any last words from my parents?"

Wanting to know if his parents had said anything important before they died, Uchiha Gin asked aloud.

"No, the situation was very urgent at that time, and no one had time to give any instructions."

Uchiha Fenghuo shook his head and said with regret.

"Thank you Captain Sealing for telling me so much about my parents today."

Uchiha Gin straightened up and saluted Uchiha Fenghuo.

"I deserve it. I watched your parents sacrifice themselves but could do nothing. I should apologize to you."

After saying that, Uchiha Fenghuo knelt down and sat up, ready to kowtow to Uchiha Gin.

"Captain Sealing Fire, there is no need for this. Since my parents have chosen this path, they are already prepared to sacrifice their lives at any time."

Uchiha Gin quickly stretched out his hand to support him, and then said with relief.

After asking almost the same question, Uchiha Gin stood up and left, while Uchiha Fenghuo was still drinking one cup after another.

Before leaving, the thoughtful Uchiha Gin faintly heard the somewhat drunken Uchiha Fenghuo murmuring behind him,

"Why didn't you dodge that sword, Brother Jin?"

Because he learned a lot of truth about his parents' sacrifice after encountering Uchiha Fenghuo by chance, Uchiha Gin, who was a little confused, had no intention of finding a carpenter to decorate his backyard.

Uchiha Gin walked to his hut with a mask slung across his body and an Isofu doll in his arms.

The store has already arranged the tables, chairs, and training targets, and the originally bare backyard has become a little more classy.

Touching the factory-new training dummy, Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction. Now he just had to rebuild a fence. It would be much more convenient if he could use wood escape, but it was a pity.

Uchiha Gin, who had tidied up the backyard and was about to enter the house, suddenly stopped in his steps, raised a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to straighten the strange mask slung across his body, and gently opened the door.

At this time, Senju Itama was sitting on the sofa in a daze, unaware of the figure coming in from the door. He quietly walked up behind Senju Itama, and the malicious Uchiha Gin put a hand on the other person's shoulder. , the masked head leaned over.

Senju Itama, who was sitting alone on the sofa in a daze, suddenly discovered that there was an extra hand on his shoulder. He turned his head in shock and saw a terrifying and strange face.

"Ah! Ghost~~oh~~"

The frightened Senju Itama let out a cry, then foamed at the mouth and fainted.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, why is this brat so cowardly?"

Uchiha Gin, who found that the other party passed out before he had even performed much, took off his mask in disappointment and complained loudly.

"Hey hey hey, wake up."

Squatting down and patting the unconscious Senju Itama, Uchiha Gin felt nervous when he found that there was no reaction from the other party.

"No, this is scary to death, so why don't I follow suit and play GG?"
