Chapter 176 Gravekeeper

 “Hizashi, what is the name of your unborn child?”

"I don't know, Jiu Zhenli and I haven't discussed it yet."

"Stay with her more. After all, once you leave, you won't know when you will come back here. Maybe you won't have the chance in the future."

“I understand the rules. As soon as the patriarch enters the tomb, he will regard himself as a dead person.”

 The dead will never leave their graves.

In a quiet room with no other people around, the steam of tea rose up, blocking the two brothers' sight.

 The patriarch...Rizu sighed in his heart, only to feel that the fragrant tea in his mouth became bitter.

Hizashi, don’t you even want to call me “brother”?

Hinata and Hinashi were silent for a long time, and then slowed down their tone:

"As long as I live, Jiu Zhenli and your children will not be bullied, and their food and clothing will be the same."

"Every time you have a birthday, I will go to the grave to visit you, tell you about Jiu Zhenli and the children, and bring you some good wine, good food and novelties from the outside world. As long as you want, I can give you even the most precious treasure. Get it here."

"Um."

Hyuga Hizashi is the head of the branch family and the younger brother of Hizashi. He is quite prestigious in the clan. After talking to his brother, he socialized in the big house outside for a long time and was almost the last one to leave.

"Um."

 He is the leader of the clan and must put Hinata's overall interests above his personal affairs.

 “Jiu Zhenli.” He stepped forward and said displeasedly:

"In two months, your due date will be here. Go back quickly. Didn't Tsunade-hime say that although pregnant people should exercise moderately, they must also ensure enough rest..." Hizashi paused in the middle of his sentence. live.

Ever since knowing that Tennin died, Hyuga Hizashi began to look for the next gravekeeper. After much deliberation, the only one who could endure the loneliness and would never betray him was his younger brother Hizashi.

"Um."

Hinata Hinata pressed her tongue tightly with her teeth, fearing that she would say something like "I will secretly arrange for you to meet your wife and children."

  Back to his mansion, Hizashi first saw the woman sitting in the courtyard.

 “Brother.” Hinata Hizashi suddenly spoke and said with a sad smile:

  "I only know that I will never see Kumauri and her unborn child."

“After you enter the grave, I will publicize that you died in the mission, which will not damage your name. The village and clan will only think that you are a hero who sacrificed for everyone.”

Hizu's throat seemed to be choked by something.

 …

 It was not until late at night that the tribesmen dispersed.

 I am the leader of the clan, so I must put aside all personal relationships... Rizu thought this way.

 Hizashi, his younger brother, is a person who can hide his emotions better than himself. He usually has no expression and only concentrates on protecting himself as the head of the branch family.

What he said to Hizashi was not a lie. The huge tomb where an unknown number of corpses were buried did need regular repairs. Once a large amount of external chakra entered, it would have disastrous consequences, and the successor could not wait without delay.

"Hizashi, I don't want to make this decision, but the previous tombkeeper is dead. The tomb's spells need to be maintained regularly, and the corpse must be treated with potions every once in a while. Hizashi, you understand. You are my biological brother, I trust you the most..."

The brothers' conversation stopped there, and in the quiet room there was only the sound of bubbling boiling water.

In fact, Hizashi loved to laugh when he was young. Whenever he was scolded by his strict father, Hizashi would laugh and stuff candies into his hands... But since he was six years old, Hizashi's forehead was carved with a caged bird. , and he never smiled like that again.

 Under the moonlight, my wife had tears streaming down her face.

Having been sleeping together for five years, Hyuga Kumari knew very well what kind of character her husband was. With a tiny movement, Kumari Hinata could see the farewell in Hizashi's heart.

"Hizashi...it will be difficult for me to see you again in the future, right?"

 The family members opened their mouths and were silent for a long time. He held his wife in his arms and slowly stroked her hair.

Five years ago, Hizashi and Hisari got married, but they didn't get along well at first. He even complained to Hizashi privately about Hisari's hair being too long, "As a ninja, you don't have to worry too much about your appearance. Your hair is so long that it makes you look uncomfortable." Like a butterfly, can it still make a comeback?"

 The day after he said this, Jiu Zhenli shaved her hair into shoulder-length hair.

 She was pregnant last year. According to the tradition of the Fire Nation, Jiu Zhenli rarely touches sharp objects and naturally doesn't know how to cut her hair. Now her black hair is fluttering.

Thinking about it now, Hinata Hizashi felt that he was a complete **** back then.

 What can I do with short hair and long hair? Jiu Zhenli won't go to the battlefield, so just let her be happy.

 Unfortunately, he understood it too late.

 …

 The peaceful days passed for several days. After all, Hizu was Hizashi's biological brother, so he gave him a lot of grace, allowing his younger brother to have time to concentrate on spending time with his family.

However, as time passed, Hizashi was worried that no one was maintaining the spells in the tomb, so one evening, he officially issued an order for Hizashi to perform a "major mission."

 Early morning on the second day, at the gate of Konoha Village.

  Hinata Hizashi turned around and said to Hisamari:

 “Go back, you have nothing to give, you still have a baby in your belly.”

       

"Be obedient and go to the clan leader if you have any problem. As long as you are not guilty of treason, he will definitely protect you and your child. After all, Rizu is... my biological brother."

Hizashi touched his wife’s hair and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up:

“The people in Konoha Hospital said that our child is a boy?”

“Yes, although there is a rule not to reveal the gender of the fetus, my relationship with Tsunade-sama is not bad, and Yuuto is from our separate family, so the doctors dare not hide this from me..."

“In this case, let’s call our child Neji.”

 “Ningji?” Kuzhenli stroked her belly:

 “What a strange name...does it have any meaning?”

“Neji, Neji, doesn’t it sound like a rumbling train?” Hizashi’s eyes were full of hope and tenderness:

“I hope that this child will not become like me.”

“Even if you are a caged bird, you must open your heart and live openly.”

“As a father, I have given up everything for my family and my brother. This is my decision with no regrets.”

“But if it were a train that was rumbling forward, it would surely take another route and have a different ending, right?”

 “Neji, Neji...don’t be [the person everyone expects].”

 “It’s enough to live happily.”

 As a branch of the family, the man who devoted everything to his family and his brother was named Hyuga Hizashi.

Whether it is the current "I entered the withered grave and never left the outside world", or the original "He was killed in place of Hizu and the body was sent to Kumogakure", Hyuga Hizashi was the victim.

 But even for a man who devoted himself in this way, on the eve of his departure, his blessing to his unborn child was to "walk another way."

 The other road...what kind of road is it?

Hinata Hizashi didn't dare to think deeply about this issue. He just hugged his wife tightly and enjoyed the last embrace in his life.

However, what the parting couple didn't know was that in the forest far away, the young man was closing his eyes and holding his breath, carefully feeling the direction from which the chakra was coming.

 He also has a pair of pure white eyes.
