Chapter 164 The Moon Sucks

Chapter 164 The Moon Sucks (Finale Part )
".The new Raikage of the Land of Lightning, Kirabi, said that he would deeply reflect on the war and accept the fact of defeat.
The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki resigned, willing to take all the responsibility for the war, and signed the defeat treaty drawn up by Konoha. The election of the new Tsuchikage is still in progress.
Chiyo, the temporary Kazekage of the Sand Country, expressed his willingness to cede territory and pay compensation, and to bear all the responsibilities for the betrayal of the peace treaty and the failure of the war.
In this war, our army is under the leadership of the Fifth Hokage, Hyuga Yuzuru.
The leader of the Country of Tea publicly stated in front of the media: Hyuga Yuzuru is the god of the ninja world today.

The work of recovering the Jinchūriki is proceeding in an orderly manner. Konoha will properly place the tailed beasts after recovering all nine tailed beasts.
Thank you for watching today's nightly news.

Our reporter Wen Bo reports for you. "

In the empty apartment, Quan huddled quietly on the sofa, the thin blanket on her body gently covering her slender and bumpy figure. In the dim room, only the faint fluorescence emitted by the TV illuminated her fair skin. on the skin.

As the evening news ended, her eyes were still staring blankly at the TV. It wasn't until the commercials appeared and repeated, and then the boring late-night drama began to play, that she came back to her senses, picked up the remote control, and pressed lightly Press the close button.

Getting up from the sofa, she wrapped herself in a thin blanket, stood by the window, and looked up. The bright moon in the sky was clear and distant.

For the first time, she envied Hinata Kaoru so much - if it was the other person, she might be able to see it more clearly with her Byakugan.

The reason why I want to see the moon clearly.
"Ding dong."

The bell in front of the door rang suddenly, Quan turned around and opened the door, and Hinata Kaoru's figure appeared in front of the door.

The man was wearing a mature work outfit, and his face was a little tired at the moment, but when he saw her, he still smiled: "I knew you weren't asleep yet."

"Why, working overtime tonight too?"

Izumi is not surprised, maybe because of Hinata Yuzuru's instructions, or maybe because Xun will feel lonely and lonely after he leaves, these few nights, she will come to see her under the guise of 'taking care of her colleagues' Sleep with her.

She didn't feel awkward at all, she wasn't someone who cared about these things - except that it was a bit annoying that she had to hold her arms occasionally, in a sense, having her by her side did make Quan's mind feel more at ease.

"Well! Lord Yuzuru left after saying a few words. Itachi can't handle so many things by himself in such a short time."

Xun sighed and turned on the light in the room: "Why don't you turn on the light? Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet." Quan said, shrinking back into the sofa: "Not very hungry."

"No, Master Yuzuru said that even if we are not hungry, we still have to eat on time." Xun muttered and rummaged through the refrigerator for ingredients.

Quan said nothing, just lay on the sofa, staring at the moon outside the window in a daze.

"It's no use looking anymore. I can't see it even with my Byakugan. But after a while, I'll have the astronomical telescope customized by the research department ready. Who knows, maybe we'll be able to see Yuzuru-sama."

Xun said, a little angrily: "Really, why did you go there? What if you can't come back?"

"He will come back." Quan said, and Xun laughed: "It seems that you are also very clear about it. Then why are you so depressed all day long?"

Izumi finally realized that she was teasing him on purpose, and snorted softly, saying faintly, "I just think that kind of work is meaningless - anyway, Yuzuru will probably not continue to be the Hokage when he comes back.

When the process is completed, I will officially retire. "

Xun sighed in envy, but quickly stood up again, saying that there was nothing he could do. He was too important to Yuzuru-sama. If he didn't continue working, Konoha would be in a mess. Yuzuru-sama trusted his ability so much. Something like that.

Quan would say a few cold words from time to time and they would bicker with each other, but no one took it to heart. This was their unique way of interacting.

But when the two of them had dinner and lay down on the big bed back to back, they thought of that day at the same time.

In the sunlight, everything was extinguished. Under the all-pervading light spot, Uchiha Madara's powerful body disappeared like melting ice and snow - and along with it, an entire piece of the ground disappeared.

Now, that former battlefield has become a valley of the end that is kept secret in the ninja world, and no one is willing to mention it easily in a short period of time.

The ground sunk for tens of meters, turning into a deep and terrifying abyss. Within tens of kilometers, there were only neat, silent circular valleys, proving what had happened there.

And after that, Hinata Yuzuru made his decision in full view of everyone.

He wants to leave this world for a while.

Go to the moon.

No one knew when he would come back or why he made this decision, but in that situation, even the ninjas of Konoha could not refute his arrangements and decisions.

After briefly arranging the work and handover, Hyuga Yuzuru ordered Uchiha Itachi to serve as interim Hokage, and to be responsible for managing all matters major and minor of Konoha during his absence.

This decision surprised everyone, but Itachi's record, his contribution to Konoha, and Hyuga Yuzuru's personal decision made his temporary appointment without any setbacks.

The first Hokage in history finally appeared in the Uchiha clan. Although a pronoun was added in front of it, in fact, anyone who knows Yuzuru Hinata knows clearly - he really has no nostalgia for the position of Hokage. If his personal prestige was not at its peak, and considering the overall situation of Konoha, he might even retire directly.

And Itachi was also very calm about the position of Hokage, acting in a low-key manner, looking at the momentum, he really wanted to do a good job as an agent and then it would be over.

Compared with the period when the Third Hokage was in office, the people in Konoha's high-level circles today, whether they are those who control combat power or those who hold the right to speak, are actually not interested in the position of Hokage. Today's Konoha has already achieved their expectations when they were young, which were too beautiful to be realistic. Instead of taking Konoha to a further step, they just want to enjoy a comfortable life in this peaceful and prosperous era.

Perhaps the only one who still hopes to become Hokage and works tirelessly for it is the idiot Uzumaki Naruto.

He took the initiative to apply to join Itachi's team, doing the same secretarial work as Kaoru, accumulating work experience, and actively taking on all the work that he was not required to do, just to prove his ability.

By the way - he and Hinata are engaged.

In the ninja world, there are really not many people like Hyuga Yuzuru who procrastinate. The vast majority of people have basically confirmed their relationship and are preparing for marriage. The sooner or later they get married, it only depends on the peace of the ninja world. If In peacetime, girls basically get married as soon as they turn eighteen, or even before they turn eighteen.

Girls like Izumi and Xun are considered to be older single women in the ninja world.

Perhaps because he is about to start a family, Naruto has become more ambitious and responsible. He is mature and steady, and has considerable strength. During the Four Ninja Wars, with the help of the Nine-Tails Chakra and Sage Mode, he also gained a certain prestige.

Among the senior management of Konoha, they generally have high hopes for this young man who is very optimistic about the fifth generation Hyuga Yuzuru. Most of them believe that if Hyuga Yuzuru really plans to retire, then the candidate for Hokage after Uchiha Itachi is pretty much the same. This Uzumaki Naruto.

The only thing worth worrying about is that Uchiha Itachi is also young. If he does not plan to retire, Naruto may have to be prepared to be the second-in-command for decades like Danzo.

but.
Neither Itachi nor Naruto seemed to care about some people's concerns.

The position of Hokage, it seems, is no longer that important to those who have been around Hinata Yuzuru for a long time.

I have seen the true power of God.
The so-called shadow.

What's the point?

The victory in the four Ninja Wars brought unprecedented unification to the Ninja world.

Under the structure of one superpower and multiple powers, Konoha expanded with an astonishing momentum. Without any force or conspiracy, just relying on prestige, many poor and narrow small countries chose to join Konoha, or under the guise of tributary countries. Name, or simply merge into Konoha, just to become a citizen of Konoha and enjoy the welfare system of Konoha's proud ninja world.

It's no wonder - over the years, many small countries have not had any sense of family and country, and the displaced people have no patriotism for their own country. They just accept the situation as it comes. However, in the Kingdom of Thunder, it took the lead in opening up the way of governing the country with ninjas. Following the precedent, most of the original power classes in those small countries were liquidated.

The newly established small countries were only happy to join Konoha, and did not feel aggrieved or sad at all.

This is something that no one will be able to understand a few years later - no matter what people think later, they will never be able to feel the attraction of Hinata Yuzuru and Konoha at this moment to the ninja world.

Let's put it this way: If Hyuga Yuzuru suddenly appears, waves his arms, and says that I have discovered another planet suitable for human habitation, I will form a new country on the new planet.

I am afraid that the population of the entire ninja world can be reduced by more than half.

The name of the God of Ninja World is gradually recognized by everyone.

There were even battlefield records taken by unknown ninjas that were made into documentaries and edited and spread.

While causing an uproar, Hyuga Yuzuru completely established himself as the "God of the Ninja World".

But as time passed.

The frenzy he caused and his extremely wide influence on the ninja world gradually calmed down as he disappeared.

Sixty-eight years of Konoha.

Hyuga Neji and Tenten were engaged and agreed to officially get married after Hyuga Yuzuru returns.

Uchiha Sasuke left Konoha and wandered around.

Konoha sixty-nine years.

Kakashi Hatake fell in love with a mysterious woman from the Hidden Mist Village on the Internet, but was tragically scammed and nearly half of his savings were lost. Since then, he has put his love aside and focused on his work. He has promoted a number of clauses for new-era cybersecurity and, in conjunction with Congress, established the Cybersecurity Bureau, which has far-reaching influence.

Konoha seventy years.

Jiraiya married Tsunade.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen died of old age.

Uchiha Shisui fell in love with a woman from the Uchiha clan and married her. Hyuga Hizashi attended the wedding on behalf of Hyuga Yuzuru and gave birth to twins that year. Uchiha Sasuke returned and officially joined the Root of Konoha as the new leader of the Root.

The seventy-first year of Konoha, July 31st, is the Summer Festival.

Fireworks display.

Uchiha Izumi and Kaoru sat quietly by the Hokage Rock, waiting for the fireworks to bloom.

Quan was wearing a black trench coat, her long hair swaying in the wind, looking up at the moon. Over the years, she seemed to have developed a habit of subconsciously staring at the moon in a daze whenever she could see it.

Xun, on the other hand, was lazily wearing a white kimono, lying on the lawn, with milk tea bought from the street beside him: "This year's summer festival, there are only two of you and me."

"Why not play games at home? When will that new third-person action game be completed?" Quan looked bored.

To her, such ordinary fireworks are meaningless.

Xunze was still lazy: "I don't know, people from the company are doing it."

"Mr. Yuzuru is really something. He always said that after peace comes, he will become the boss of a game company and make fun games.
My little treasury is almost gone."

Xun's words made Quan subconsciously nervous. She whispered, "It shouldn't be like that, right? The game is still fun."

hard to imagine.

In the past few years, after Quan retired, he became addicted to various video games.

Kaoru, the 'mother of games' who personally developed the first computer game in the ninja world, is now the boss of the largest game company in the ninja world, but he has little interest in it.

"Master Yuzuru said that he wanted to play some kind of virtual reality game, but the development costs are really worrying." Xun sighed and turned over on the lawn. "I don't know when he will be back."

As time went by, it seemed that Quan had adapted a lot, but Xun, on the contrary, became more and more depressed.

"I read in the news that the manned rocket has reached the final stage of testing.
I plan to try it out once the rocket is developed, astronaut."

Quan's words are shocking.

Xun turned over and sat up: "Are you sure? I heard that that thing is very dangerous. What if you can't return to earth after taking off and landing?"

"Anyway, Yuzuru is there. He will come out to save me before I die. Probably."

Quan said nonchalantly, looking at the moon, and murmured softly: "I want to go to the moon."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Why do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to see what he is like."

Quan suddenly realized what was happening and turned his head away.

Xun had already covered her mouth with her hands and tears were falling, unable to make a sound.

The man in a white kimono stood behind the two of them, smiling with a hint of apology: "Really?"

"How about taking you there now?"

His words were astonishing.

"Yuzuru-sama!!!"

Xun rushed straight into his arms like a little child, hanging on like a tree bear, while Quan just stood there, thinking that this scene was a bit dreamy.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes gently, with a smile on her face that was a little annoyed and resentful: "Isn't it too late?"

"Well, but fortunately, we made it before the fireworks."

On Hinata Yuzuru's face, the blue eyes have changed again - as if in the blue pupils, several dark blue planets are rotating in the universe in his eyes, and the white hair is dancing in the wind. There was a faint smile on his face.

He reached out and hugged Xun tightly, letting her sob quietly, and stretched out his other hand to Quan.

"How about it?
Do you want to go or not?

"Where?"

“To the moon.”

"Is it really possible?"

"of course."

"Are the three of us going together?"

"Ah."

"Ok!"

Quan reached out and tightly grasped the big hand he extended.

Xun finally calmed down a little, but she still hugged him tightly and refused to move away. Hinata Yuzuru simply held her like this and exerted a little force with his feet.

Gravity lost its effect at this moment.

The three people slowly floated up into the sky.

Fireworks explode.

In this dazzling firelight, Quan couldn't smell the pungent smoke of the fireworks, and couldn't feel the heat of the sparks - shuttled among the fireworks, they kept rising and flying until they broke through the dark night, in the boundless sky. For the first time in the universe, he personally saw the earth containing the entire ninja world.

Until your toes touch the ground on the moon.

The desolation, loneliness, and inexplicable fear brought by the universe made her clutch his hand tightly.

Quan stared blankly at the blue planet, looking at everything in the universe, then turned his head and looked at the hateful man next to him whose expression was just a smug smile.

"How about the moon?"

He waited for the girl's praise.

But what greeted him.

But there was only a slightly forceful kiss from Quan.

'The Moon Sucks'

"except you"

Xun Hou finally realized something and sighed angrily.

The first KISS of this year.

It was stolen.

But it's okay.

The hug is mine.

It wasn't that pleasant to be held in his arms and watch him kissing Izumi.
