Mob Without System In Naruto
Funeral

hayate Cemetery.

A group of former shinobi teammates present such as Kakashi, Anko, and his former teammates Ibiki and Tokara.

Kotaro and Arina who were successfully treated were also there.

They only knew him for a while, but he was everything they could ask for as a sensei.

Of course, Hiruzen was also present, but overall the funeral was quite brief as Konoha was on alert at this time and did not want to waste any precious energy.

So after this short funeral, everyone left except one person.

That's Eiji.

Back then he searched the entire village, but found no trace of Kabuto.

He could not quell his desire for revenge, so he sat on his teacher's grave with feelings of sadness, anger, and regret.

But he is not the type of person who wails when losing someone dear, instead, he will keep all his emotions in silence for himself.

After hours had passed, as he sat there alone, he began to think about where his mistake was.

Was it his fault?

Did he change things so much that the butterfly effect appeared?

After thinking for some time, he realized that he was relying too much on his future knowledge and did not think about the possibility of him dying at another time in any other way.

He sighed and looked at Hayate's sword lying in the grave.

'It seems like not everyone gets an emotional death scene where they can say goodbye to their loved ones.' - thought Eiji with a cynical smile.

But then the tears finally started to flow.

No matter how hard he tried to act or how much he tried to ignore his feelings, in the end he was human.

He just sat quietly with his thoughts for hours, when he could feel the presence of someone from afar.

He could feel the gaze of this person, so he shouted: "You become an Anbu, I won't be able to feel your presence if you want, so why don't you just go out, instead of letting me pay attention to you. ?"

Hearing that, a purple-haired, straight-masked female Anbu cat walked slowly towards Hayate's grave until it stopped right in front of his grave.

Through the entire process, he did not look at Eiji for even a second, but after silently staring at Hayate's sword, he finally said a few words: "Before setting off for my mission, I had a bad feeling. But I decided to ignore it and focus on the mission. When I came back and got word, I immediately rushed here, but I even missed the funeral..."

Eiji looked at her but did not know how to answer, so he just kept quiet.

After some time, he raised Hayate's sword and plucked it from its sheath.

He looked at it and finally broke the silence with a hateful voice: "Who is that? "

Eiji replied emotionlessly without looking at him: "The village believes, that it is Orochimaru's henchman. Kakashi says that the odds are high, that it was the man he thought was shortly after Sensei's death, named Kabuto."

"So the village is not sure and just guessing?"

"Anbu's corpse, who was killed by Kabuto's man on Kakashi's side, shows similarities in the way sensei cuts."

"So maybe this Kabuto guy. and I don't think the village can catch him, otherwise we know for sure..."

Again a long silence.

He broke it again: "Tell me, how's the funeral?"

"The old man made a speech, but other than that, nothing important happened..."

Because of his mask, Eiji did not know whether he was crying or not, but he started gripping his sensei sword even tighter.

He also did not say anything else, so silence descended again.

After some time he decided to leave while carrying Hayate's sword with him, but then he stopped and turned towards Eiji: "He talks a lot about you..."

Eiji did not respond and continued to sit there.

He had no idea how long time had passed, but his parents and Tenten had come at some point, but he had only told them that he wanted to stay here longer.

They thought it would be better to leave it alone for now, so after leaving something to eat and drink, they left.

Eiji did not touch his food and continued to be immersed in his own thoughts.

He dedicated so much time and effort to try to save Hayate, but in the end, it was all for naught.

What should he do now?

A vendetta?

Forget it and live a normal life?

At some point, he fell asleep but was awakened by someone's presence.

It was Hiruzen.
