A certain scientific Naruto

In this war, even in the final stage, ninjas will die every day and in every village, but human beings are terrible creatures, and they have gradually become accustomed to and numb to even death.

In Konoha now, victory is no longer just as simple as the dawn, it has even become something within reach, so they are immersed in the joyful atmosphere and cannot extricate themselves. It is precisely this that makes some people's faces look like this. The expression of such sadness seems full of weirdness.

Even out of place... What is sad is the feeling of belonging to the minority.

For most people in Konoha, including civilians and ninjas, all they know is that Golden Flash led his team to a victory that determined the trend of the war. As for the casualties among his team?

——Isn’t it the most normal thing? Is it any wonder that there are undead missions on the battlefield? What's more, only two chuunin died.

Comparing Kirigakure and Iwagakure, it can even be said that what Hagoromo did is roughly equal to what Minato did. However, based on the wishes of the two and other factors, Konoha's attitude towards these two things The attitude is different.

As for Hagoromo, he is not a flamboyant person. If he can keep a low profile, he will try to be as low-key as possible. "Ending the war" is only his own wish. In the final analysis, he rarely has the mentality to contribute to Konoha, so There are some things he doesn't need.

It's a pity that his transformation was a step too late after all. There is no "inertia" in this, but the shady plot is operating according to the established route. What Yuyi did was just to make the other party make slight adjustments... full of evil intentions fine-tuning.

He vaguely knew that Lin should have died after Obito, but now both of them died - this was probably a mockery of Hagoromo himself.

At this time, Minato has been officially confirmed by the Sandaime as the successor of Kage. He is the perfect candidate to be Hokage, but the problem is his age, less than 22 years old, so he needs reputation, and the golden flash is not enough. It's a more dazzling golden flash.

It was so dazzling that people like Danzo Shimura had nothing to say.

Therefore, the battle of Kannabi Bridge is something worth flaunting.

If a younger ninja appears at this time and makes the same contribution as Minato on his own, objectively speaking, this will inevitably dilute Minato's light. Konoha, to be precise, the Third Hokage does not want this to happen, and Hagoromo also The same is true, he is not interested in the status of Hokage, and he does not want to affect Minato for his own reasons.

…………

There is a public cemetery to the northwest of Konoha Memorial Monument, where ninjas who died in the war are buried.

So does Lin.

Funerals in wars like this are all silent, and it is even a great courtesy to have a real "burial"... More than half of the tombstones here are just tombstones, empty inside, and those who died in battle are Most of the ninjas on the battlefield were unable to retrieve the bones.

After Hagoromo returned from Earth Country, Minato was not informed of the process in detail, and several people came here again.

These are my condolences to Lin.

Minato, Kushina, Kakashi, and Hagoromo were all dressed in black. Minato and Kushina had heavy pain on their faces, Hagoromo was expressionless from beginning to end, and as for Kakashi's expression...there's no need to go there. Described.

In fact, Hagoromo and Lin spent most of their time together in the ninja school, and there were not many opportunities to actually meet after graduation, especially later on.

The same goes for him and Obito.

But even if the impression one person leaves on another is not measured by time, Lin has left enough marks in Hagoromo's mind. If asked whether Hagoromo likes Lin, unlike Obito, he purely likes Lin like this. Girl character.

Hagoromo leaned down and touched Lin's name on the tombstone with his fingertips.

Above her name is a photo of her. In the photo, Lin has her hands open in a V-shape, with two streaks of lavender paint on her face. Her expression is the most familiar squinting smile. Everything seems to be the same as before.

Maybe she didn't regret dying as a ninja, but she shouldn't have been a ninja.

"Lin didn't deserve to die."

He said Lin didn't deserve to die.

From the beginning to the end, Hagoromo's only conclusion about Lin's death was this.

If Kakashi, Obito, Minato or Hagoromo died on the battlefield, it could probably be called a well-deserved death, but what about Lin's death?

The pain was much deeper than Hagoromo expected.

It was hard to tell whether there was any blame in Hagoromo's tone, but because of his words, Minato closed his eyes, and Kushina shed tears again.

People like Lin really didn't deserve to die, so both Minato and Kakashi felt it was their responsibility, especially Kakashi.

Grief makes time feel longer.

After a long silence, Kushina finally came and said:

"Hagoromo, it's almost time for us to go back."

"Yes." Hagoromo stood up and followed Kushina.

"Kah..." Kushina wanted to call Kakashi, but Minato stopped her and shook her head.

For Kakashi, he probably has more to lose, so let him stay here alone for the time being.

So the three people in Hagoromo walked away slowly, leaving Kakashi alone.

After all, time will not stop because of anyone. Minato has many things to be busy with, especially at this stage.

It is precisely because of the encounters between Lin and Obito that he becomes more determined to become Hokage and his mission to end the war as soon as possible. He must protect all the things that should be protected next time.

As for Hagoromo, it was only at this moment that he finally understood that this is what war is all about.

Perhaps Lin and Obito's names will be engraved on the commemorative monument in the near future, but that is only for the living to see, so what meaning does it have for the dead.

Regarding Minato and the Third Generation, Hagoromo didn't know. There were no twists and turns in the process of confirming Minato's successor. With his current status, it was even more impossible to know. Even the Fourth Generation's matter had already been basically concluded. He Not sure.

So after leaving Lin, the first thing Hagoromo did was to tell Minato what happened in the Earth Country.

"Obito's body disappeared?"

Minato looked surprised, thought for a moment, and then he continued: "Did Iwagakure's ninjas do it? After all, Obito is a member of the Uchiha clan. Although his other Sharingan has been crushed, Iwagakure's There is no guarantee that there will be no attempt on his body."

There is nothing wrong with Minato's handling of this matter. After all, it was the Kingdom of Earth. Minato's team had just stung a hornet's nest and had to evacuate as soon as possible. The process must have been hasty.

Plus, who would have thought that Obito could be saved after such an encounter? In fact, only Mu Dun could save him.

So now even if Hagoromo informed Minato that Obito's body had disappeared, the other party did not consider the problem in the direction that Obito was still alive.

"It shouldn't be Iwagakure, because judging from the scene, there are no traces of violent destruction. Obito's body seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and before leaving, I encountered an unknown enemy..."

Then, Hagoromo explained his encounter with Bai Zetsu.

"An unknown enemy that can absorb chakra?"

Before this, Minato would never have thought that there was something deeper hidden in this matter.

Yuyi nodded: "Judging from the situation at the time, I am not sure that it was the opponent's body that was destroyed, and the act of obtaining the body ultimately failed..."

"Perhaps there may be enemies hidden in the darkness that are more powerful than the four great ninja villages."

His last words clearly meant something.

But for more profound things, he couldn't give a more detailed explanation. For ninjas, "belief" must be based on facts, otherwise it would be in vain. What's more, if he really wants to talk about the details, Hagoromo can't say it. come out.

Because he doesn't know at all.
