"Okay... we are back to the village."

"Go back to the village...you will be saved."

"...Just go back to the village "

Yin hugged Tong Ye on the ground, trying to lift him up.

Tong Ye shakes one's head, showing an expression of pleading. He is already speechless and just wants his wife to leave quickly.

He understands that Hatake Sakumo will not let go of silver, and ninja when treating the enemy is ruthless. If you don't leave, there will be no chance.

However, consciousness gradually faded, pupils began to blur, and Tong, who was lying on the ground, understood that...the time of death was approaching.

split second, he seemed to see the mother who was fighting, and Sasori who was waiting in the village.

"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore."

Finally, the last bit of light disappeared from his world.

The chill swept through the silver whole body, she held Tong also tightly in her arms, as if only in this way could she feel that she was still alive.

But,

all around empty,

The kind of coolness,

is so real.

"...No."

"...No."

"My Tong will not die."

"I beg you, don't die!"

"I beg you, have mercy on me, Tongya, Tongya!"

She He kept calling, trying to wake Tongya, but no matter how hard he tried, the man in his arms didn't respond.

In the end,

She gave up a little desperately,

She was tired,

She was also tired,

The heart is dead.

In a trance, she felt that she had had a long dream, but with the death of Tongya, the dream was finally broken, everything in the past turned into a reflection, hidden behind the time, hiding , As if a world away.

Yin stroked that familiar face, showing an extremely gentle expression.

"We will be together, we will always be together."

In her abdomen, a handful of kunai has been completely submerged, and the blood blossoms are slowly expanding.

"I said, if you die, I will come with you..."

The breeze blew by, a white cloud floating and blocking the sun in the sky, and In the shadows, there was a piece of sand stained red with blood, hugging two people on it.

"...I'm sorry, Sasori."

...........

Ebizo Cross the long gorge at the entrance of the village and walk under a tall sea buckthorn.

"Sasori, what are you doing?"

"Looking at the clouds, it's so beautiful."

This is the red-haired youngster sitting under the tree Said.

The sky is clear and ethereal as if it is immersed in blue watercolor. The silver light rushing clouds and mountains are like floating Ice Mountain, which outlines a golden outline in the hot sunlight.

"Second grandfather, you said... can father mother see this cloud?"

"Eh...maybe..."

Ebizo Said not quite sure.

Looked at Sasori's lost look, he smiled and rubbed Sasori red's hair.

"haha, I lied to you, of course, they must be on the other side of the cloud thinking about Sasori now."

"Really?"

p>

Sasori jumped up excitedly, not caring about the tousled hair.

"Then, how can the cloud fall down?"

"...Huh?"

"Father mother is on the other side of the cloud, and the cloud falls Come, they can go home."

Ebizo's distressed shake one's head: "The cloud is so high, I don't know how to make it fall."

"That , When will they come back?"

"...is it fast."

"Always fast, fast. At least give me an accurate time "

When Sasori said so, Ebizo could only helplessly laughed.

"Chirp!"

A eagle chirp suddenly sounded, he lifted the head, and the dark green Nin-Hawk flew towards him after lingering in the sky for a few times.

Is it an emergency?

Thinking about this, after Nin-Hawk stopped on his raised right arm, Ebizo quickly took off the scroll tied to his paw.

After just a quick glance, he likes falling in a ice hole.

——Tongya and Yin died in the hands of Konoha's White Fang, come here!

"...How come?"

"Hateful Konoha's White Fang!"

Unconsciously, Ebizo's right hand holding the scroll has turned white , The handwriting on the scroll was a bit crooked, but he still recognized the handwriting of his elder sister Chiyo.

In other words, this news is true!

He has never been married, but he regards Tongya and Yin as his own children, how could he die? When he left the frontline, the battle situation was obviously still optimistic, how long is this!

Sasori, who silently felt the emotional changes of the second grandfather, had an unknown premonition.

Suddenly, a tremor hit the whole body.

"What's going on...?"

Sasori expression asked nervously, his drooping arm unknowingly grabbing attire tightly.

Ebizo reluctantly said with a smile: "...no...no, it's just that Shukaku has some problems, there is no major event."

"Then my father mother Are you back?"

"This...Well, they suddenly have a new mission. It may take a little longer."

"Really?"

"Of course, I just received the contact." The scroll in Ebizo waved his hand said: "Your grandma wants you to wait in the village."

Sasori heard What he said, patted his chest, relieved, but what followed was what he least wanted to hear.

"Sasori, sorry, I...may not be able to participate in your school ceremony."

For some reason, Sasori's body became hot again, but his mind It suddenly became cold inside.

"Hey...then, what should I do? Academy...it will start in a few days."

He finally managed to squeeze out a word.

"I must now take the ninja to the battlefield...I'm sorry."

Finally, the body is no longer hot, and a burst of cold aura reaches Sasori's fingers. He squatted down to hug his knees, not knowing how to answer, desperately looking for words to say.

"No...grandfather has nothing to apologize...but..."

Almost 40 years of years have smoothed the emotional ups and downs, but facing Sasori's disappointed eyes, Ebizo still feels a little bit painful. But he also understood that there was no other way at this time.

Ebizo squatted down, patted Sasori's shoulders: "Be stronger, when the mission is over, the second grandfather will come back immediately..."

Sasori desperately suppressed his choking, Suddenly throwing off the hand on his shoulder, he said in a harsh tone: "...I am understood!"

As he said this, he could almost feel the surprised expression of grandfather on the side. But even so, he still can't control his feelings.

"Enough!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Enough..."

When Sasori repeated it again, tears fell disappointingly.

Why... why does it always become like this!

Is mission so important? !

After ten seconds of silence, Ebizo struggled to squeeze out the words "I'm sorry...".

.......

The sea-buckthorn tree makes the sound of su su under the breeze, but the red-haired youngster is no longer in the mood to appreciate These ones.

When the words were spoken, he already regretted it, but when he was still young, he stubbornly did not choose to apologize.

And Ebizo has left to gather ninja.

Sasori couldn't calm down for a long time. Once again, he took out the Puppet toy his mother gave on his birthday and assembled it.

——When you can successfully assemble, we will be back from battlefield.

This is what his mother told him before he left, and then he succeeded in only one day and one night, but the village entrance still has no parents' silhouette.

Afterwards, every time he succeeded, he had to go to the entrance of the village to take a look. Up to now, the purple paint on the Puppet has almost disappeared, but his parents have not returned.

Now, even Ebizo grandfather will leave him again to battlefield.

——I will become the fourth-Kazekage, so that father mother will never have to play battlefield again.

This is Sasori's wish, but now he has begun to hate Kazekage.

When he was young, his view of right and wrong was simple and straightforward: Third-Kazakage gave the order to participate in the war. Without him, his relatives would be impossible to step onto the battlefield.

As the strongest ninja in the village, it cannot protect the villagers and keep them away from the war, so...

What is the significance of the existence of Third-Kazakage? !

The assembled Sasori again, cautious and solemn wipe the sand blowing on it.

The serious look seems...The Puppet in his hand is the most important thing in the world.
