Chapter 60 Afterword
Chapter 60 Afterword
It's been a year since Penn attacked Konoha.
Sarutobi Asuma and Sarutobi Tsubasa, who returned to the ninja team, formed a fixed two-person team, and they often went to carry out some important S-level tasks together.In the Fourth Ninja World War a few months ago, the two were even more active, making significant contributions in the war and winning numerous victories.Today, they are famous among the countries of the world.
In the recent period, the situation between Konoha and the major countries has been relatively stable, and the two are spending time leisurely in the village.
On this day, they were playing chess at Asma's home.
"Hey! How about this move?" Asma confidently played a wonderful move, forcing Ayi into a dead end.
"Uh... I'm really not reconciled..." A Yi sighed, resting his cheeks.For a while, he had already lost several rounds in a row to his brother.
"Ayi, at a time like this, you should say 'I lost', right?"
"Yes... Brother Asma, 'I lost'."
"Well, this is my good brother."
Asma said, she stood up and stretched out her hand, ready to touch Ah Yi's head.Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage slowly walked in through the back door.
"Cough cough..."
"Ah? Dad? You're here." Asma hastily withdrew her hand, but Ah Yi shyly avoided it, and both of them blushed.
"Grandfather of the third generation, hello." A Yi politely stood up and greeted the third Hokage.
"You're welcome, sit down."
The three of them sat on the ground facing the peaceful courtyard.
"Where is the red?" Third Hokage took out the cigarette stick, took two puffs, and asked.
"She and Future took a nap in the house, we didn't want to disturb, so we played chess in the yard."
After a year, Asma and Hong's love crystallization - "Sarutobi Miku" has been born.
"It's not easy for a woman to have children, Asma, you should spend more time helping her."
"Of course!" Asma patted her chest and assured. "I will never let Dad worry about this kind of thing!"
"Well, that's fine... But, Ah Yi, there are some things that I've thought about, and finally decided I need to ask you. I hope you don't mind."
"Okay, third-generation grandpa, you can ask."
"I asked Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Kakashi before, and I learned something about you, and found that the relationship between you was indeed a bit strange in the past few years..."
"..." Hearing this, Ah Yi and Asma looked at each other.
"Father, if you want to ask about these things, just talk about them directly, without beating around the bush."
"Oh? That's fine. Wing--"
"Yes."
"You really love Asma just like Hong, right?" Third Hokage lowered his voice slightly and asked.
"If you are referring to the current situation, then the second half of your sentence is correct, but the first half is wrong."
"Why?" Third Hokage asked in surprise.
"It's a long story... I once read in an ancient book that if a person who dies without regrets is lucky enough to be resurrected, his state of mind will change a lot from his life. I must belong to this kind of person. I have died One time people will cherish life more correctly than before, cherish themselves and the people around them with the right attitude, and will not stick to fantasies that have long been impossible to realize."
"Ayi..." Asma quietly listened to what Ayi said.
"So, as a younger brother, I will continue to love Brother Asma and Sister Hong deeply. I know how to love correctly."
The Third Hokage looked into A Yi's eyes, listened to the short words he said, thought for a moment and then said: "...I understand. Since you said that, there is no need for me to ask about the past. I Believe you, you'll love rightly as I said just now—and that's it."
"Yes!"
The Third Hokage nodded in satisfaction, stood up and prepared to leave.
"By the way, there is one more thing I've always been curious about. Ah Yi, how did your eyes regain their light?"
"Ah...Actually, I talked with Master Tsunade about this, and I think it should be like this——
Usually, the stronger the pupil power of the writing sharing eye, the stronger the insight, but it will gradually be sealed due to excessive use, and the vision will become worse and worse, and eventually lose its light.
And my Sharingan is the opposite of ordinary Sharingan, the stronger the pupil power, the weaker the vision.But at the same time, if it is used too much, it will be gradually sealed.But after this Sharingan is sealed, it will become the eyes of ordinary people—so at that time, the lost visual ability is miraculously restored.
It's just that when I regained my light, my life also came to an end - fortunately, Nagato gave his life to save me, and I regained my new life! "
"Oh... that's right. Then, you should cherish this rare life even more—while loving others, don't forget to cherish yourself too!"
"Yes, I will!"
Standing up and watching the Third Hokage leave, Atsuba and Asma sat down slowly.
"Ayi..."
"Brother Asma..."
The two eyes met and looked at each other for a long time.
Now, this pair of pupils is no longer mixed with redundant feelings.
Resurrection from the dead is already something hard to come by. If you want to ask for more at this time, you will be greedy.
What's more, there is no better outcome than the current situation.
May these brothers and sisters stay together in peace for a lifetime!

The author has something to say: The author presses:
It's finally over! (Sprinkle flowers by yourself~~)
From June 13 to now, I have been writing intermittently for more than 6 years. I originally planned to finish writing about 2 words, but the result became longer and longer, and finally I wrote more than 10 words==|||.
Although this is just a niche article purely for fans, I was panicked because I had been yelling in my heart for a long time, so I finally decided to write it to fulfill a small dream of my own.
——Of course, there is really no guarantee for the writing style. After all, I am not a professional writer, so please bear with me.
Although during this period, due to busy work and other reasons, I stopped updating for a few months, but in the end I persisted. Without your support, I would definitely not be able to persist.Thank you all here!
PS:
1. Looking back at the part written earlier, I found that there are many places that do not read smoothly (囧)~~~ I am going to take the time to modify it.
2. In fact, I plan to write a side story later... (←This is the key point~~~)
☆、Extra story before all that
Explanation: The last episode tells a story "before all that".
-----------------------------------
One night, in the personnel office of the Konoha Guard under the full control of the Uchiha clan...
"This day has finally come, Tsubaki." The captain of the security team sat on a chair, looking at the subordinate in front of him, who was also his comrade-in-arms whom he had always regarded as a brother, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
"Yeah, Captain... From now on, I'm no longer a ninja."
"... Everyone has persuaded you so many times before, but you still refuse to change your mind, so I won't waste my words anymore." After speaking, the captain took out the document he had prepared from the drawer, handed it over, and said: "Sign here. After signing, you will have nothing to do with us."
Chun's heart was shocked by the somewhat unfeeling words of the captain, "Team, captain..."
"Don't call me that again! Sign and leave!" He said, lowering his head and covering his eyes with his hands.
"…Yes…"
Tsubaki sniffled, picked up a pen, and solemnly wrote "Tsubaki Uchiha" in large characters on this document, then handed it back.
"Hmm..." The captain took the document and picked it up, ready to put it in the file cabinet behind him for safekeeping, but his hands were trembling, and he couldn't hold the thin paper...
"Team..." Seeing this scene, Tsubaki could not help but take a step forward.
"...Hoo..." The captain closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then turned his head and glared at the "former" subordinate standing in front of him, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing here?"
"Ah... yes... I, I'm leaving now... Please take care..." Tsubaki turned around reluctantly and walked out of the office slowly.
In the office, the captain slumped on a chair, covering his eyes, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Tsubaki walked out of the building of the security force. Even though today's move was determined long ago, the experience of sharing life and death with his companions still made him a little reluctant.
The third ninja world war that just passed made Uchiha Tsubaki, who has always hated fighting, make up his mind to leave the ninja army. However, considering that the village suffered heavy losses in the war and was understaffed, his superiors did not immediately agree to his application for retirement. But after several months of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached on this day.
From then on, as the captain said, he may really have nothing to do with Konoha's ninjas in the future.
Chun walked towards home, and on the way, a few familiar figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Everyone…"
"Tsubaki...we are here to see you off."
"Today we collectively asked for leave, and we are going to invite you to have a farewell drink."
Meeting with former comrades-in-arms, Tsubaki's eyes became a little hot.Equally hot are the hearts of the companions.But he thought about the captain's "that sentence" before, and still hesitated in his heart.However, under the warm invitation of his brothers, he had no choice but to go along.
A few people huddled together in the small tavern they often went to, letting go of their bodies and minds and drinking to their heart's content.
"I said Chun, there are hundreds of people in our entire security team, but there is only one quota for retirement a year, so you took it..." "When I heard that you were going to leave us, the captain was very sad..." "We lost so many companions during the Ninja World War not long ago, and now, even you are about to leave..." "The Konoha Guard, which our Uchiha clan is in charge of, is very busy now..."
"... "
Hearing the drunken companions complaining, Tsubaki, who was also in a daze, remained silent, drinking mulled wine one after another.
"You should say something anyway, Tsubaki!"
"Anyway, I'm the only one in our team who doesn't have Sharingan... I'm at the bottom in terms of strength... If I stay, I will only hold you back..." After drinking another large glass of wine, Tsubaki finally opened his mouth.
"What are you talking about? A companion, who cares if you are strong or not! Have any of us looked down on you over the years? Even the captain cares about you so much. But you, you are doing nothing, leaving behind the brothers who share life and death , went home to enjoy the happiness alone."
"..."
"By the way, Sakiko's stomach is seven or eight months old, right?"
"Yeah, it's about to give birth." Tsubaki replied. "I also said before that the reason for retiring in such a hurry is mainly because I want to care more about my family in the future."
"Then you're going to be a father soon? Sigh...Although I really want to scold you a few more words to be honest, I'd like to congratulate you first."
"thanks…"
...
They drank like this until late at night.Tsubaki sent his companions to leave with each other's arms, until they disappeared out of sight, then turned around and staggered to go home.
"Cough...Accidentally, I drank too much...Obviously I'm not good at drinking." Chun was dizzy and couldn't even stand upright, so he had to lie down in the grass by the roadside to rest, and ended up falling asleep just like that past.
At this time, at Tsubaki's home, his wife Sakiko was still waiting anxiously.
Unlike her husband, who is from the Uchiha clan, Sakiko is just an ordinary Konoha citizen.
"Why hasn't my husband come back so late... Could it be that he went drinking with his brothers? Today is the last day he stays in the ninja army. They must have a lot of things to say."
Sakiko now has a big belly and walks slowly around the house.Because she was worried, she decided to go out and look for it by herself.
She walked through the busy street to the tavern where her husband used to drink with his companions.However, for her who is pregnant with Liujia, this distance is not too short.
"I found it!" After walking for a long time, Sakiko, who was a little tired from walking, found the figure of Tsubaki lying there in the grass by the roadside.
"Hubby, hubby! Wake up!" She knelt down and shook her husband, trying to wake him up, but no matter how hard she shook, Tsubaki showed no sign of waking up.
"This is too bad, how can I bring him home like this." Sakiko subconsciously rubbed her belly, stood up and wanted to ask others for help, but there was no one around.
Sakiko sighed in distress and looked at her husband helplessly.
"The movie just now was really good... Asma."
"Yeah...Although the middle is very worrying, but fortunately, the ending is very happy."
At this time, the voices of two teenagers, a man and a woman, came from Sakiko's ears not far away.She hurriedly turned her head to look at them, and what caught her eyes were two young ninjas wearing Konoha vests, talking about homework in agreement, walking side by side.
As if a savior had arrived, Sakiko waved her arms to call them over.Sensing the call of a woman not far away, Asma and Hong trotted over.
"Excuse me, lady, do you need any help?" Asma glanced at Sakiko's stomach, and then asked politely.
"Uh...that, can you help me—take my husband home." Sakiko said shyly, pointing to the bushes on one side—after all, her husband fell drunk and his wife with a big belly fell on the side of the road It's a bit embarrassing to ask someone to take him back.
"..." Asma and Hong followed the direction of her finger, and saw the drunk and unconscious person in the grass.The two blinked in embarrassment, and then Asma smiled and said, "I see, we'll help you."
Asma said, she stepped forward to support Chun, put his arm on her shoulder, and said to Hong: "Hong, you are responsible for taking care of that lady, she is pregnant, so be careful."
"Ok."
So Asma and Hong escorted the couple home.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for your help today, I don't know what to do." After helping her husband to rest on the bed and giving him sober medicine, Sakiko greeted the two young men at the door. ninja bows in thanks.
"Where, it's our honor to help you." Asma rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and then he glanced at Sakiko's belly.
"That... can I..." Asma said, cautiously stretched out her hand a little towards Sakiko's stomach.
"..." Sakiko was a little surprised at first, but then immediately understood, "Ah...do you want to touch this child?"
"Uh... yes... I don't know if it's okay?" Asma blushed a little.
"Of course, you helped us a lot today, this little request... come..." Saying that, Sakiko took a small step forward.
Asma reached out and touched Sakiko's stomach lightly back and forth, it was soft and warm, and it felt so comfortable.At this moment, Asma suddenly felt something push him in her stomach, and he was so startled that he quickly stopped.
"Just now..."
"Ah, my little one kicked me." Sakiko explained with a smile, a happy smile on her face.
"Is it fetal movement?" Hong asked.
"Yes. And..." Sakiko said to Asma, "It just happened to be kicked in your hand. From my point of view... maybe my little baby will hit it off with you after it's born."
"Really...'Fate'..." Asma was a little embarrassed, and stretched out her hand to touch it again, but was stopped by Hong:
"Ma'am... If there is nothing else, we will leave first." Hong hurriedly pulled Asma's hand back and said with a smile.
"Ah...Okay, you go slowly."
Then the two bowed to Sakiko and left.
"What are you doing? Asma. Then touch other people's belly casually, more than once, how rude."
"Because I remembered that in the previous movie, the hero touched his wife's belly like that... so I was a little curious..."
"Oh, that's it—wait a minute, what are you thinking about Asma, you are touching someone else's wife!" As she spoke, Hong raised her fist and lightly tapped Asma's forehead.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
Watching the two go away, Sakiko entered the room and began to tidy up.After some time, the husband woke up.
"How did I... come back?" Tsubaki put his hand on his forehead.Even after taking the hangover medicine, he was not completely sober, and his head still felt heavy.
"Ah, husband, are you awake? I called two ninjas to escort you back just now. Because I couldn't wait for you to come back at home, I went out to look for you and found you drunk by the side of the road. Then, I asked you to come back by chance. The two young ninjas I met carried you back."
"Oh...I'm so sorry, I drank too much again..."
"It's okay... You and your brothers will be separated from now on. I don't mind drinking a little more today."
"Well. But...except for the occasional contact with the previous few brothers, we don't want to have anything to do with other ninjas in the future-since we have decided not to be ninjas and no longer care about ninjas, then don't Continuing to drag and drop—hesitating like that will only increase troubles.”
"Oh... I see..." the wife replied, "By the way, what is our child's name?"
"Well... I told you before that our child will grow up as an ordinary person in the future, so in order to deceive people, the child must use your maiden name - after all, the surname Uchiha is too conspicuous. As for the name... not yet I knew it was a boy or a girl, so I thought of a unisex name—”
"That…"
"Our child's name is - 'Wing'."
(End of the article)
The author has something to say: [about the name]
The combination of the first two sounds of A Tsubasa's father's name "Tsubaki (つばき)" and the first sound of his mother's name "Sakiko (さきこ)" becomes Tsubasa (つばさ).
As for mother's maiden name... sorry I didn't think it through ==|||.
In addition, although the father is a very ordinary ninja and the mother is a commoner, it does not mean that the child must be equally ordinary.
