The three wars finally ended.

The ninjas returned to Konoha one after another with fatigue and pain.

Some lost their loved ones, some became disabled, and many others were buried underground, waiting for the day when they would be released from the Impure World.

After listening to the teachings of the Third Elder, Suzumiya Musashi directly entrusted the matter of merit settlement to Uchiha Itachi, and then ran to Ichiraku Ramen without stopping.

How many merits could he have as a cook for the ninjas, with a 0-0 record.

Sister Ayame at home is still better.

Ichiraku Ramen.

"Sister Iris!"

Iris, who was distracted, turned back suddenly, and the next moment, the figure fell into her arms.

"Sister Iris!" Suzumiya Musashi hugged the person in front of him tightly, breathing the familiar smell desperately. "I'm back!"

Finally, the hand-beating uncle couldn't bear it anymore and separated the two.

"Really, what are the children doing hugging each other. Musashi, go wash yourself. Iris, don't you see that the guests are waiting?"

"Ah! I'm very sorry, sir, I'll prepare it for you right away."

After returning home and cleaning up, Suzumiya Musashi rushed back to the ramen shop to help.

Washing the familiar dishes and chopsticks, listening to the hand-beating uncle's voice entertaining the guests, his heart gradually became stable and fulfilled.

With a long time of getting along, his relationship with Iris father and daughter is no longer a "poor kid working part-time", but a slowly approaching family-like existence.

Only here can he feel that he is really alive, not a big dream.

Here, he can dispel the coldness in his heart and forget the blood and cruelty of the ninja world.

While entertaining the guests, Ayame occasionally fed a piece of sushi or tempura to the busy Suzumiya Musashi, who swallowed it with a smile.

As expected, I like sister Ayame the most!

In the evening, after bidding farewell to Ayame, Suzumiya Musashi and Nojiri Oki, who came after hearing the news, returned home and cleaned the house together.

After that, Nojiri Oki wanted to drag Suzumiya Musashi to study artistic creation.

The new writer ‘Midnight Knife’ has not updated for a long time. If this continues, his popularity will drop sharply!

Suzumiya Musashi refused.

He just wanted to have a good sleep today.

Nojiri Oki wanted to persuade him, but he made a hand knife.

The two fell asleep on the tatami.

A few days later, Konoha held a funeral for the deceased ninja.

The third generation and a group of Konoha high-level leaders led everyone to mourn collectively. The gloomy weather made the funeral even more desolate.

Uchiha Itachi stood in the crowd, staring at the memorial not far away.

[This is war, not just a fight between people, but a fight between countries. ]

[So strangers can fight meaninglessly, so many people die meaninglessly. ]

[This is the world of ninjas. ]

He thought, and suddenly turned his head as if he had realized something. Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, stood alone in an open space.

"There is no point in lamenting for the dead." Orochimaru looked at the people in front of him, his eyes calm and without ripples.

"If death has meaning, it only exists when he can use it."

Uchiha Itachi walked to Orochimaru and looked at this strong man who had made great contributions in the war. He asked: "So, what is the meaning of life?"

Orochimaru's hoarse voice was still emotionless: "Life has no meaning either."

"If there is, it only exists when life is eternal."

Uchiha Itachi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After the funeral, he walked aimlessly, and before he knew it, he came to the Hokage Rock in Konoha.

He looked at the village below, but his eyes were empty.

"Life... is meaningless."

The howling on the battlefield sounded in his ears, and blood and broken limbs kept appearing in front of his eyes.

The call from the top, the endless struggle, the ninjas who kept dying...

The sound of wind passed by, and his body naturally began to fall downwards.

The things on the ground kept magnifying in front of his eyes, as if they would overlap with him in the next moment, making the fragile and meaningless life dissipate in the next moment.

'So, what is life?'

As his body kept falling, Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt the desire to survive in the depths of his consciousness.

However, before he could take any action, the next moment, a whistle sounded, and a rope was tightly wrapped around his ankle.

The huge inertia driven by the falling body made him suddenly hit the stone wall!

Bang!

"Cough! Cough cough!!"

The close contact with the stone wall made him fall down. Even with Uchiha Itachi's calm personality, he couldn't help but

He was furious.

"Who did it!?"

"It was me!" Suzumiya Musashi's voice sounded from above: "I saw you standing there and suddenly fell down, so I hurried to pull you up, huh~ I was scared to death! Fortunately, I arrived in time."

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Suzumiya Musashi pulled Uchiha Itachi up at one end of the rope with great effort, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really, this can happen even when running. Itachi, are your legs weak? Don't tell me you don't want to live?"

The atmosphere was interrupted, and he was in pain all over his body. Uchiha Itachi's face was puffed up.

But after all, Suzumiya Musashi was trying to save him, and he was well-educated and couldn't get angry at the other party.

"I... I was practicing physical skills, and you just interrupted me."

Realizing that Uchiha Itachi seemed unhappy, Suzumiya Musashi approved of the other party's explanation.

"Oh, the search is so thorough. You can't practice physical skills in such a dangerous place! That's it, I won't disturb you from practicing physical skills, bye."

After saying that, he ran away.

Itachi Uchiha always felt something was wrong.

After a moment, he suddenly realized.

"No! He just attended the funeral with me, what kind of running is he doing?" Turning his eyes to the direction where Suzumiya Musashi disappeared, Uchiha Itachi's expression fluctuated: "This guy, is he worried about me and came with me?"

...

Suzumiya Musashi, who ran away, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Uchiha Itachi didn't catch up.

"Huh, I really saw the famous scene of Itachi jumping off the cliff, and I also threw him down, I made a big profit! Hehe..."
