Chapter 179 - 179 The Past
In Heshi Village, Jiro did not go to the river to play as usual, but sat in front of the door blankly, no one knows what he was thinking.
"Jiro, what are you thinking about? Why don't you go out to play?"
Jiro looks back and saw his mother showing a gentle smile.
"Kaa-san, Shinobi is really amazing. Can I become a Shinobi?"
Miko's smile became slightly stiff, and then she said: "Jiro, you want to be a Shinobi?"
"Yeah! I want to be a shinobi like a Silver-Nii!"
Jiro said, there is worship appeared in his eyes.
Children are always interested in this kind unknown thing. In Jiro's view, Shinobi's strength is really attractive.
A worried look appeared on Miko's face and said: "Jiro, isn't your life good now? The world of Shinobi is very dangerous."
"Kaa-san, my life is very good now, but I want to see the outside world."
Jiro looked at Miko stubbornly, making Miko not know what to say.
"Jiro…"
"Well, kaa-san, let's not talk about this. I'll go out to play first."
Jiro said as he ran to outside.
"Hey, Jiro. This child…"
"Miko, what happened?"
Ichiro came out of the house and said with a puzzled look.
"It's nothing. Are you going out?" Maiko said with a smile.
"Yeah, Ryo is still waiting for me to go hunting. I don't want to make him wait."
"You have to be careful. I will be at home waiting for you to come back."
"Of course, Miko. You can rest assured."
Ichiro finished speaking and went out with his hunting tools.
Miko watched Ichiro leave, and sighed lightly.
She then walked back to her room.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Miko couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
'It's already 20 years. I am used to this life without Shinobi.'
"When I saw Silver yesterday, he looks just like Sakumo-Nii. Wouldn't he be the child of Sakumo-Nii and Nee-san? Why did he want to go to Uzushiogakure?"
Miko whispered as she had some doubts in her heart
When she saw Kakashi yesterday, she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. But she didn't say anything at that time.
Miko is comfortable with the ordinary lifestyle, and she didn't want to change her current state of life.
Moreover, she is also not sure that Kakashi is the person she imagined. If he is not, it will be very embarrassing.
"Nee-san, Sakumo-Nii, are you two okay over there?"
Miko looked out the window and sighed softly.
At this time, a silhouette appeared outside the window, making Miko shocked.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Miko-san."
Kakashi's figure emerges from the window, revealing his handsome face.
"Silver-san? Why are you here?"
Miko said in surprise.
"Ah, I just came back from Uzushiogakure. I don't know if it is convenient for me to talk to with you, Miko-san."
"Talk? Of course, I will open the door for you."
Miko said, leaving the room and opening the front door to let Kakashi come in.
Miko poured a glass of water for Kakashi and said, "Silver-san, is your trip to Uzushiogakure going well? Why are you looking for me?"
Miko said as she felt a little worried.
Kakashi smiled and said: "Originally, there is nothing to gain, but later, I found a tombstone and a sealed creature. So it can be considered a good harvest."
Miko was taken aback, the smile on her face looked a little stiff, but soon it recovered.
Still with a smiling face, Miko then said: "Oh? Then I need to congratulate you, Silver-san."
Kakashi looked at Miko, already thinking about what to say to her.
"Miko-san, I am called Hatake Kakashi, and Hatake Sakumo is my father."
Miko was taken aback, and her gaze at Kakashi was full of shock.
"Silver-san, you…"
"Miko-san, I saw some things from the memory of the sealed giant ox. Are you my mother's sister? You should be the one who is burning joss papers at my mother's tombstone, right? I was still wondering why the half-burned piece of paper had a familiar scent, but then I realized that the smell is very similar to that of you, Miko-san."
Kakashi said as he looked at Miko with complicated expressions.
The atmosphere became strange at this time.
Miko lowered her head, no one knows what she was thinking.
Kakashi did not urge her, and just sat quietly.
Not long after, Miko raised her head as she smiled again, and then she said, "Kakashi, I didn't expect you to have grown this much. Nee-san and Sakumo-Nii will be very happy if they know about it."
Kakashi was happy. Now that Miko said so, she obviously admitted her identity.
"Miko-san, what happened back then? Why did my mother die here? And why did my father injured here?"
Miko sighed and sat on the chair, looking far away, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, Miko finally spoke: "Kakashi, Sakumo-Nii was not injured back then. He didn't go back because of Nee-san. She only has one year left, and she still had you in her belly."
"What the hell is going on?" Kakashi asked eagerly.
"It was like this back then …"
Snow is still falling, and Meizi was lying in the simple room where Konoha Shinobi was located.
"Nee-san, Sakumo-Nii, please be safe."
Miko's body, which is only seven or eight years old, has no strength at all at this time.
Her immature face has a maturity that someone her age shouldn't have.
Ayako and Miko are sisters, and they are living in Uzushiogakure.
Of course, they are not Uzumaki Clan's member.
They are orphans who are adopted by the Uzumaki Clan.
They didn't have a home, but Uzushiogakure gave them one.
Those two were adopted in a family in Uzushiogakure.
And in that family, there is a girl of the same age as them, called Uzumaki Kushina.
The two grew up in Uzushiogakure. Ayako became a Shinobi and began to contribute her strength to Uzushiogakure.
At one time, Sakumo was ordered to come to Uzushiogakure to perform a mission. At that time, Uzushiogakure asked Ayako to cooperate with Sakumo.
Unexpectedly, one thing led to another, and the two started to develop feelings for each other.
During the war, naturally there were not so many children in love.
Sakumo was called back by the village again and went to the battlefield. Although Ayako was reluctant, she did not stop him.
When Uzushiogakure was destroyed, Ayako took Miko, who had just become a Shinobi, on mission, and they even met Sakumo.
After Ayako and Miko separated from Sakumo, Ayako heard the news of the demise of Uzushiogakure on the way back to the village.
In a hurry, Ayako didn't think much. So she hurried back to Uzushiogakure with Miko.
As a result, it became the current situation.
Fortunately, Sakumo arrived in time, otherwise…
