Blacksmith From Hokage

Chapter 16 Worship

The sky was gloomy, with large chunks of dark clouds, pressing the sky very low and low, and weighing people down like a broken wall about to collapse.

Kuroyoshi walked peacefully on the street, surrounded by many villagers who also wore black clothes and walked in the same direction.

Everyone didn’t speak, and walked forward in silence, the light in the depths of the eyes was dim, full of sorrow.

call……

The autumn breeze blows, and the fallen leaves are withered.

The sky above Konoha was shrouded in sorrow.

Kuroyoshi did not go directly to the memorial monument, but stopped at a flower shop on the way.

It is natural to have flowers to pay tribute to the parents who have passed away.

He stopped and glanced at the door, then stepped inside.

All kinds of fragrant floral scents came, and the shop was filled with all kinds of flowers in an orderly manner.

“welcome.”

A nice female voice sounded inside.

Kuroyoshi heard the sound and saw that there was a small Loli standing inside the counter.

She is about the same age as herself, with short blond hair, purple-based clothing, big eyes and watery, very cute.

At the first sight of this man, he recognized it.

Yamanaka Ino, a new generation of Ino–Shika–Chō members.

“Excuse me… do you want to buy flowers?” Ino looked at the clean and beautiful boy in a black yukata in front of him, feeling a little idiot in his heart.

This man is really good-looking.

“I want a bunch of carnations.” Kuroyoshi said indifferently.

Hearing Kuroyoshi’s demand, Ino was taken aback and reacted immediately.

“OK, just a second.”

48 years after Konoha, many people come to buy flowers every year today, so prepare in advance.

Ino trot into the back room and brought a bunch of carnations to Kurayoshi.

“thanks.”

Kuroyoshi handed the money to Ino, then turned around and walked in the direction of the comforting monument.

Sure enough, it is worship!

Looking at the direction Kurayoshi was leaving, Ino had such an expression on his face.

Carnation’s words were mourning and longing, coupled with the black bathrobe and silent expression, she guessed it naturally.

only–

Is he alone?

Did his parents die?

Obviously about the same size as me, but I have to face everything alone.

However, he is so good-looking, I don’t know his name yet!

For a time, Ino was thinking a lot.

…

Konoha forest, deep.

There is a huge stone stele with the names of the dead.

This is a memorial monument, on which the names of all heroes who sacrificed for Konoha are engraved.

The memorial monument is not complete.

The First Ninja War, the Second Ninja War, the Third Ninja War, the Nine Tails Chaos and various crisis missions…

Konoha had too many ninjas who died silently, and until now, they couldn’t find their bodies and names.

Many flowers were placed around the stele, which were worshipped by other villagers.

When Cangji came with carnations, there was already a person standing in front of the stele.

She was also wearing a black yukata, with silver hair and a mask on her face. The front bangs drooped down to cover her left eye.

Hatake Kakashi…

Kuroyoshi said the man’s name silently in his heart.

He will come to worship his parents every year and today, and every time he meets Kakashi who came first here, he is not surprised to meet Kakashi here today.

Coming to Kakashi’s side, quietly placed the flowers on the ground in front of the monument.

Quietly, staring at the names of parents on the memorial tablet.

The body trembled slightly.

When he was born into this world, Kuroyoshi was very resistant to his new parents at first, after all, he already had parents in his previous life.

But in the following month, his parents worked tirelessly and took care of him so that he could feel the love they have for him.

Especially on the day of the Nine Tails chaos, in order to protect themselves, the two used their bodies as bait and tried to distract Nine Tails, but they were swept away by One Tail bus and the whole street before they even ran a few steps.

Although he has only been with him for a month, Kurayoshi loves his parents very much, even if they have never said a word.

“There are too many unfortunate people in this world.” Kakashi said suddenly.

His exposed pupils quietly looked at the stone tablet, with sadness hidden in the depths of his eyes.

“Ah, there are too many unfortunate people in this world.” Looking at the name on the stone tablet, Kuroyoshi couldn’t help but clenched his hands. “So I want to be the strongest, and I want to prevent myself and the people around me from being the unfortunate person. .”

Kakashi glanced at Kurayoshi flatly, turned around and left without stopping too much.

Kuroyoshi ignored it, but stood quietly in front of the stele.

Recalling the bits and pieces of that month, I also had it in my previous life, but I never noticed the trivial things in daily life…

Looking back now, he could feel a touch of warmth.

Before you know it, time goes by.

When Kuraki recovered, the sky was already dimmed.

He glanced at the moon poking his head out of the clouds, his hands clenched once again.

In this life, I must live without regrets.

…

Tonight is the full moon, and the silver brilliance spreads over the earth, adding a mysterious coat to Konoha.

Kuroyoshi sat at the desk, with his left knee resting on the table, palms on his cheeks, and his eyes staring at the moon in a daze.

He can’t sleep.

Going to worship his parents today reminds him of the past.

Not only this world, but also past lives…

At that time, he was still an ordinary teenager, always surrounded by friends and relatives, and now…

Although they think of Naruto as a friend, the differences in their mental age and thinking make them have no common topics.

He doesn’t want to go to Naruto, and he always hides in the remote training ground alone to practice.

only……

My heart is always empty.

“Still can’t resist loneliness!” Kuroyoshi sighed with emotion.

He is not a lonely person, but he knows that the turmoil that is coming in the future will force him to move forward with a heavy burden.

Because this is a cruel world.

Without power, there can be no happiness.

However, such a lonely life won’t last long. With a god-level forging system, it won’t take long for him to have the power to dominate his own destiny.

When you fall, you don’t have to practice so lonely every day.

“Come on, Kuroyoshi.”

Kuroyoshi clenched his right hand to cheer for himself.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the clouds on the horizon fluttered and blocked the moon.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Outside the window, a person suddenly appeared on the telephone pole opposite.

He squatted on the telephone pole, his blood-red eyes watching here quietly, three black gou jade slowly spinning in his eyes.

Um?

Kuroyoshi felt the gaze falling on him, and suddenly looked up.

Empty, only the wind is blowing.

“Is it an illusion?”

Kuroyoshi had some doubts, and was about to take out the Book of All-Knowing to check it out.

Suddenly, he felt a change in the air flow in the room, as if there was an additional person.

The action suddenly stopped.

Kuroyoshi turned around abruptly, wiped his right hand in the ninja bag on his back, hooked out a kunai with his middle finger, took advantage of the momentum to rotate, squeeze it, and then threw it.

Boom!

Kuwu wiped the man’s ears on the wall on the side.

“who are you!?”

Kuroyoshi looked up and down at the uninvited guests who suddenly appeared in the room, his eyes full of vigilance.
