Chapter Twenty-Four: First dreams are generally the simplest.
Hanzo left and died with a smile on his face.
The time was the second night after Gui returned.
Before he died, there were many people guarding his bedside, including his loyal subordinates who had followed him for many years, Gui and Elizabeth, and the three disciples and grandchildren he had just met.
Many people burst into tears when Hanzo was dying, and Hanzo finally found the most precious thing in his life at the last moment of his life.
At that moment, looking at Katsura sitting quietly beside him with his hands folded, Hanzo also started the so-called revolving door at the last moment of his life.
In the village where I was born, there was a highly poisonous san pepper fish. After the san pepper fish died, its poison sac was implanted in my body, so I became resistant to the poison.
However, every time you breathe, the people around you will inhale the poisonous gas. Therefore, the people around you are afraid of you and even isolate yourself.
In order not to disturb others, I put on a mask and breathed through my mouth instead. I wore this mask for half my life...
The pinnacle of ninja, demigod, that was what he would later call him. As his strength and status increased, he might have forgotten his original intention.
Do you want to bring peace to the ninja world on your own?
Maybe, but that was definitely not the purpose of my initial efforts to become stronger.
This is definitely not the reason why the thin figure who was isolated by the people in the village because he had poison sacs in his body, gritted his teeth and went through hard training alone in an empty field.
What exactly is it for?
When he was dying, Hanzo stood next to the little boy who was gritting his teeth and training hard alone in the rain.
"Absolutely...I must become stronger so that everyone will recognize my existence!"
At this moment, Hanzo finally found the original place of the person named Sanshouyu Hanzo, just because of the loneliness of being isolated by the villagers, and just because he wanted to be recognized.
Hanzo, who had regained his consciousness, opened a pair of old and dim eyes, looked at his subordinate who had been with him for many years and was crying for him, and then looked at Gui, who was sitting quietly with his sleeves tucked away.
Of course, there was also Elizabeth sitting quietly behind Gui and the three nominal disciples with sad faces.
"It seems... the ninja demigod's heart is actually not that big..."
Hanzo bent his eyes, his faint smile showing satisfaction and relief.
"Yeah..." Gui sighed softly, then slowly raised his head and said calmly: "But, at least I can find my original intention in the end, which is already a great blessing.
Moreover, even now, who can say that the path of the ninja demigod is not straight? In my opinion, it is a straight and smooth road that never stops and finally passes through the fog to the end."
"Is it a straight road..."
Hanzo repeated Katsura's words and whispered the last sentence before closing his eyes.
"……Thanks."
…
Hanzo's funeral was not grand, and not many people attended, only the loyal guards and the Akatsuki led by Katsura and Yahiko.
Are there any conspicuous blemishes in Hanzo's life?
No, this man has grown step by step from that thin figure who was rejected by others to a ninja demigod. Although he has become more wary as he gets older and is easily taken advantage of by interested people, there is no big stain on him.
He has devoted his whole life to bringing peace to the ninja world, and has never suffered a defeat in his life. He also spared Mifune of the Iron Kingdom and the Sannin of Konoha...
At least, looking at Hanzo's resume, it is also the life of Amegakure...no, the ninja that the entire ninja world yearns for, admires and respects to the highest extent.
As for Hanzo, he was stopped by his disciples when he was about to make a mistake in the late festival, and ended his glorious and glorious life without any stain. It was at the last moment that he felt sincerely grateful.
At least my name will only be lower than that of the ninja god in the ninja world from now on. As for the rest, I can leave the rest to my extremely outstanding disciple.
Hanzo has never doubted Katsura's ability, and has always believed that if it were Katsura, not only this country, but also the ninja world would be able to change.
As the funeral progressed to the last moment, representatives of Konoha's condolences came here, and the moment they saw the Konoha ninjas, all the rain ninjas immediately took out their weapons.
Looking at the menacing Rain ninja, the Minato team, which was assigned by the third generation to commemorate the ninja demigod Sansho Hanzo, was also a little confused.
Why is it like looking at an enemy?
"Master Katsura is a ninja of Konoha!"
"If you want to carve a stain on Hanzo-dono's tombstone that will be remembered, then go ahead."
Katsura said calmly, and after hearing this, all the rain ninjas also stopped their hands, took the kunai back and took the initiative to make way for the Minato team.
The tense Konoha representative also put away his weapon at this time, nodded slightly to Katsura, then walked forward and began to express his condolences to the ninja demigod who had taken the ninja path to the extreme.
…
As the heir to the Rain Country designated by Hanzo before his death, after the funeral, Katsura also personally held a small meeting with Minato who came to express condolences from Konoha.
Also attending the meeting were Akatsuki's three senior officials who suddenly became civil servants (regular team) of Amegakure Village.
In fact, the Akatsuki members were also very confused. A few days ago, their leader went to have a meeting with Hanzo, but when he came back the next day, he suddenly told everyone that we had become official civil servants of Amegakure Village!
Then, Hanzo passed away.
Then, the leader took everyone to the funeral.
Then, he and the suspected successor of Hanzo participated in a small meeting with Konoha!
This speed of promotion has never been so fast in my dreams!
A group of Akatsuki members still feel like they haven't woken up, and they heard that Hanzo's successor is actually the teacher who deliberately concealed his identity to teach his leader!
Daqing... Daqing are all a family!
…
"I understand. After I go back, I will be clear to Lord Hokage, and I will definitely give Yu Yin an explanation for this matter!"
Outside the gate, Minato said goodbye to Katsura and others and made a promise with a serious face.
This incident is really terrible!
There was actually a ninja who used transformation skills to pretend to be the village's senior advisor (Duanzo), framed the peaceful Akatsuki of Amegakure Village, and deceived the demigods of Amegakure Village!
His heart can be killed!
By the way, Elder Danzo has been out for so long and there is still no news. Could it be that he was given to him by a group of ninjas pretending to be Konoha ANBU...
Minato didn't dare to think about it anymore. He had to go back to the village to report this matter to the third generation! In this stage when Konoha and Iwagakure are about to mediate a truce, those who do such things will be punished!
"When we meet again, you and I will inherit the shadow positions of Konoha and Amegakure. Let's have a good talk then."
Minato went on to say that during the meeting just now, he also had a feeling of ape-like attraction towards the handsome long-haired man named Katsura whom he met for the first time.
Minato was aware of the other person's talent for helping the world, and sincerely looked forward to discussing and working together with the other person on the issue of peace in the ninja world in the future!
