Chapter 379
In Akatsuki, Obito lowered his head, and Rin was the same as Obito.
Obito was as guilty of Kanon as Itachi was, but now, no matter how he apologized, Kanon would never come back.
Behind Akatsuki were Tobirama and Izuna, as well as many of the current Konoha high-level officials and former colleagues.
Everyone came, and with the footsteps of the crowd, everyone came to this cliff, which was Kanon's favorite place and the place where she first met Naruto.
Naruto looked at the woods where Kanon once trained, which now looked extremely dilapidated and lonely.
This place that once witnessed Kanon's growth and struggle now only has memories and traces of the years.
The bull's eye of the shuriken above has lost its former color and become dim, and the once bright training marks on the tree have become blurred due to long-term wind and sun.
In this ruin, some shadows of the past can occasionally be seen.
For example, the torn stump, although it is no longer alive, you can imagine the time when Hanako used it to practice. Although it has faded, it is just like yesterday to Naruto.
This forest used to be full of sweat, laughter and the sound of shuriken, but now there is only silence and decay.
Every trace here tells the past glory and present loneliness.
As time goes by, this place that was once as beautiful as a dream has become the past, leaving only these silent relics, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.
Obito looked at this place, he was also very familiar with it. This was the place where he and Hanako fought for the first time. At the age of six, he really gave himself a lot of trouble.
He was very glad that he did not kill Hanako at that time, giving Hanako a way to live.
Madara and Hashirama set up Hanako's tomb here, and then Naruto and Sasuke walked up. Looking at Hanako's tomb, they finally couldn't suppress their emotions at this moment.
Naruto and Sasuke wore black clothes and placed the white bouquet in the middle.
Sasuke stepped aside, and Naruto took the kunai engraved with Yin in his hand.
This was the Hokage blessing that Hana gave Naruto. He didn't need to return it to her. There was also a special kunai engraved with flowers. Naruto wanted to wait until he became Hokage to come here and return the kunai to her in person.
That was the agreement between him and Hana. In front of Hana's tomb, there was a photo of Hana. Looking at Hana's sweet smile, Naruto's expression was no longer sad.
He actually forced a smile at this moment, because he felt that Hana didn't want him to be depressed all the time, at least at this moment, he had to say goodbye to Hana with a smile.
The sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the flower field, adding a bit of warmth to the land.
Nagato, Yahiko and Konan walked forward, and Nagato took out the [Akatsuki] ring from his arms.
And Yahiko and Konan put the [Hana] team's Akatsuki robes in special glass and handed them over.
That was Hana's item. Her name was engraved on the empty ring, and the names of everyone in the Flower team, including Hana, were engraved on the Akatsuki robe.
Konan 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 Hana's breath and temperature.
She gently placed the white paper flowers in the middle of the flower field, where there was a bunch of the most beautiful roses, blooming warmly and unrestrainedly.
Watching this scene, Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he could breathe in Hana's fragrance.
His lips trembled slightly, and he began to whisper his inner words:
"Hana, this is your favorite flower field, and it is also the place where we first talked about our dreams. I think you should be happy to let you stay here."
Naruto's voice was choked with sobs. He tried to make himself look strong, but tears fell unconsciously.
"As a friend, I failed to protect you and failed to let you see me become Hokage. I'm sorry."
Naruto clenched his hands into fists, and his heart ached as if it was about to break. He knew that Hana was always so kind and she would not blame him, but he could not forgive himself.
"I will keep moving forward, for you and for our dreams."
"You have to look at me carefully, watch me become Hokage, and save the world handsomely..."
Naruto's voice became lower and lower, and it was almost inaudible at the end. His body trembled slightly, revealing his inner fragility.
The sun gradually became brighter, and the roses swayed gently in the breeze, as if Hana was responding to Naruto's words.
Naruto finally stood up, and Jiraiya came up with a wreath in his hand.
Naruto and Jiraiya looked at each other and placed the kunai of Hana in a ring surrounded by white flowers.
On top of these hundreds of flowers, it was written: [Goodbye, Hana. 】Jiraiya placed the wreath in front of the cenotaph, and everyone half-knelt on the ground. No one was still standing.
Everyone bowed their heads to see Hana off. Everyone knew that Hana had done something greater than the Six Paths Sage. At this moment, she had become a legend.
......
Beyond the blue star.
Hana looked through the stars at the Ninja World.
Her eyes kept trembling. When she was a child, she would cry directly if she was sad. 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 can't cry anymore. She is very lonely around her. The dark starry sky, the desolate world, and the years are ruthless. This is the loneliness of being a god.
Hana stretched out one hand. In front of her, the space was breaking and changing. She stepped in.
That's right, at this moment, Hana was actually walking on the long river of time. She went back to the past with her steps, back to when she was six years old.
She used magic to hide herself, without emitting any breath, and she walked on the road of Konoha again. She came to the Uchiha clan and returned to her home.
From a distance, she saw Itachi and Sasuke running out, and then Kanon saw her childhood self.
She saw Mikoto, Fugaku, Shisui and Izumi, and even the elders and friends she knew and 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 could no longer cry, actually shed tears at this moment.
She was in the long river of time, not in the present world, so she could cry. Hana wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly:
"I have reached such a realm, achieved the invincible truth... became the real supreme..."
"But why am I still crying?"
Hana kept wiping the tears from her face, but she couldn't wipe them away no matter how hard she tried, and her heart was trembling.
After watching her childhood self run away with Itachi and Sasuke, Hana turned around and left, leaving this timeline.
Because many things can never go back to the past, the six-year-old self had everything, and also made the first friend Uzumaki Naruto, and her brother also loved her.
Thinking back carefully, Hana understood that that moment was her happiest moment, the happiest time in just fifteen years.
At that time, with the help of Xiao Shinobu, she also began to practice ninjutsu, and with the company of Naruto, although the family began to become tense, at least her brother, father, and mother all loved her.
Hana then saw the night of the extermination of the clan, when she fought against Obito alone, and through the flower domain, she saw that the little ninjas were secretly sending chakra to her young self at that time.
She saw the first time Danzo assassinated her, and when he appeared with Jiraiya and formed a master-disciple relationship with her.
Next, Hana saw the story of the Chunin Exam, when she fought against Kimimaro alone, and fought against Shikamaru and Temari.
She also saw the discussion she had with Hinata after buying vegetables, sitting in the park.
There were also scenes of practicing with Naruto and Jiraiya, looking at the stars at Naruto's house, and talking about her inner thoughts.
Those were all stories of her younger self, before she defected to Konoha.
Hana nodded gently. When she was in Konoha at that time, although it was dangerous, she also had her companions.
Then, Hana continued to move forward along the long river of time, and she saw Danzo sending a hundred ninjas to hunt her down.
And the scene when she met Itachi again after many years with her body covered in wounds.
And she practiced in the Ryuchi Cave for two years and formed many bonds with the snakes.
Then Kanon was stunned. She saw Tayuya, Jirobo, Sakon, Ukon, Kidomaru, and her 11-year-old self again.
She joined Akatsuki, became a senior and junior brother with Nagato, and then started to capture the tailed beasts for Akatsuki.
It must be said that it was also a very happy time in Kanon's heart.
Everyone in Akatsuki treated her very well, and like Ryuchi Cave, it was as warm as home.
