Chapter 204 Farewell
Minato got the three of them up early in the morning, and now they are in the room of the Daimyo Mansion... Because Minato said that they have to say goodbye when they leave, so they decided to come back again. Minato is packing up his things, a series of work documents, and the resource approval document of the Daimyo Mansion...
"Have you packed your things? If you're done, let's go home!"
Minato ordered the three to pack their luggage. In fact, the three of them basically didn't bring anything with them. Even if they did, they were all in Obito's Kamui Space, so now the three of them were basically empty-handed.
Glancing at Obito, Minato smiled bitterly: "Well... okay~ You guys don't have anything to take, so let's go..."
"Well, let's go one more time before we leave... and take the kid with us."
After hearing Yu Yan's words, the three of them looked at each other and nodded...
In the northern outskirts of Fire City, the entrance to this old courtyard house was exceptionally quiet at this time. Four people suddenly appeared in the courtyard, breaking the silence.
"Ok?"
The moment Yu Yan emerged from the divine space, his brows furrowed. There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the house...
Just when several people were wondering why Yuyan was standing there, a man walked out of the house. It was Yamada Taro, Jiro's elder brother.
"You are here...please come in..."
Although Taro seems to have this personality and is basically expressionless, Yuyan still caught a tremor in his voice...
"Mr. Taro, the old man...?"
Yamada Taro paused, turned around, and said in a low voice: "Well... the master passed away last night. But don't worry... the master's time has come, and life, aging, illness and death cannot be violated..."
"..."
Yu Yan was silent.
Although I have no good feelings towards this old man, I have no feelings for him. But at this moment, my heart instinctively hurts... Although I can't say I'm sad, but, is there one less person in the world who is related to me by blood?
After standing there for a while, Yu Yan raised his head and said calmly: "I see... I'll go take a look."
Minato hesitated for a moment... Finally, he could only whisper to Yamada Taro: "Please accept my condolences..."
The huge house was quite quiet...with only the sound of light footsteps.
Taro led the way, and the group walked through several corridors and came to a lobby... A black coffin came into view, and pale yellow flowers surrounded the room. Black cloth strips and ribbons were hung everywhere, and the air was as depressing as a pool of stagnant water.
There were not many people in the room. Apart from Minato and his group who had just arrived, only Yamada Jiro and Aoki Genichirō were left sitting in front of the coffin.
"You are here... the master... woo woo..."
Yamada Jiro choked up. He was more likely to express his emotions than his elder brother. He was wiping his tears and sobbing...
"Master...you don't know...Master...Master saved our lives when we were very young...At that time, wars were frequent, our parents had died long ago, and we two brothers almost died of famine. Fortunately, Master took us in in the end...Wuwu...and gave us a home..."
Yamada Jiro talked to himself, talking about his past in the Aoki family. After finally becoming an adult, he vowed to repay the Aoki family and was determined to follow. Later, the family fell into poverty... The two brothers still guarded the Aoki family and never thought of leaving. Jiro even took the risk and got a place in the daimyo's mansion, lurking inside...
Yu Yan frowned and looked quietly at the photo hanging in front of the coffin.
He was thinking... thinking about what people pursue throughout their lives. Even the once prosperous family had its moment of decline. Even powerful people like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara would eventually die. Even the Six Paths Sage could not escape the laws of the ninja world... He could only leave behind a remnant soul, and he could only wander in the Pure Land.
Even though he cannot give an answer now, he believes that cherishing the present and the people in front of him is what he should do at this moment.
Aoki Genichirō sat on the futon with an expressionless face, his eyes showing no joy or sadness. But on his tender cheeks... two crystal tears flowed down his neck to his chest.
Yuyan walked over and gently touched his little head... turned to Yamada Taro and said: "Let's bury him properly... Don't worry about being seen, we have a way..."
He waved to Obito, who was wiping his tears with his sleeves in panic... This kid is really emotional. But it's no wonder... In this sad and heavy atmosphere, even people who have nothing to do with him will feel sad.
"Let's move the old man somewhere else...it's a bit inconvenient for them to leave in a high-profile manner..."
"it is good..."
All the remaining servants in the house had been sent away, and now there were only Minato and his four companions, the Yamada brothers, and Genichirō left in the hall, a total of seven people.
Obito nodded, walked silently to the side of the group, and put his hand on the coffin. Yu Yan took Obito's hand and motioned for them to stand closer...
"God's might..."
The pupil power circulated, and a huge space vortex sucked in all the people and objects present. The Yamada brothers stared at the surrounding environment with wide eyes, unable to speak a word...
"Don't be nervous, this is Obito's... um, ninjutsu." Minato explained in a low voice, "Using this method to transfer is the best solution."
The two brothers nodded, and their sadness was reduced by half... How could a ninja have such power? This was completely different from the ninjas he had seen or even fought with... But this kid with goggles looked so small... And a little silly, how could...
The two brothers didn't have much time to marvel. In a blink of an eye, the space twisted again...and they appeared in a deep mountain.
"This is in the mountains on the border of the Fire Country. The environment here is very good and very quiet..."
Obito explained, his eyes drifting to look at Yuhiko again.
Yu Yan hummed, walked to the coffin, and silently said to it: "Although there is no kinship between you and me, and you threw such a troublesome matter to me...even part of my mother's misfortune can be attributed to you...but...I will still send you off in a good way...Grandpa."
This was the first and last time Yu Yan called him by this name.
After saying this, he walked to a place that looked good... He formed seals with his hands and instantly dug a deep tomb using the earth escape technique.
After digging the grave, Yu Yan continued to make hand seals... this time he used Wood Release. Based on the original coffin, he once again used his own life force to create a special wooden board and wrapped it up.
As the vines slowly carried the coffin into the tomb, Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief... He used the earth escape technique again, and the soil he had just dug up gradually closed...
"My Wood Release can keep the old man's body immortal... at least for a hundred years. If you have anything else to say... you can stay here for a while..."
The Yamada brothers watched as Yuyan arranged the burial arrangements in a few seconds, and were so surprised that they were speechless... After a moment's silence, they walked to the cemetery and began to say their last words to the old man.
Yu Yan found a huge bluestone slab from somewhere... He carved it with wind and water jutsu, and a delicate tombstone appeared before his eyes...
When the two brothers finally finished talking, Yu Yan walked to the grave holding the bluestone slab and exchanged glances with the two brothers...
"Bam—"
Yu Yan inserted the bluestone slab into the ground with great force.
A wind-style blade condensed at his fingertips, quickly carving words on the tombstone.
"The tomb of Aoki Kousen, the former daimyo of the Land of Fire."
There is no biography or other detailed introduction, but these few lines are enough...
The work has been done, and now Yu Yan and the others should leave. Finally, they set up an illusion barrier... and then they left the place.
"I have done my best... At least, I saw him off to his final resting place..."
Yu Yan didn't know if what he did was right, but under various conditions, he had done the best he could. Even if he mentioned this old man again in the future, he would have a clear conscience.
