Brother, you are my jade - Asma of Hokage

Your Excellency is so familiar, he is a remarkable person far beyond my imagination.

"By the way, the identities of those three black-clothed ninjas?"

"Still investigating. They didn't wear forehead protection, and they didn't have anything to identify them, so it's not clear yet."

"yes…"

"Also, don't worry too much about these issues, you have obviously retired for so long."

"Just occasionally..."

"In short, don't be brave about these things. Master Tsunade has told you how many times, so doing it is too heavy on your body, and we will leave things like fighting to us. Don't think so much, be good Enjoy your happy life."

"...Kakashi..."

"Ok?"

"I'm not someone who deserves to be happy."

"...Asma..."

silence.

The atmosphere in the room became tense.

"That... that Anbu who guards you... Asma, don't you have anything to say to him? Others are desperately trying to protect you." Hokage-sama seemed to want to change the subject, and he walked out the door Greeted me to go in, and then said, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

After I went in, Master Asma said to me: "Thank you for taking care of me this month.

"Ah, please don't be polite, this is just my job." I feel a little embarrassed to be thanked by my seniors like this, after all, this is rare for us Anbu.

"...Are you also a wind ninja?"

"Yes…"

"Ayi, like you, is a ninja who uses wind escape... although you use bows and arrows and he doesn't."

"Is that so?...Well, may I ask, what 'A Yi' you mentioned is..."

"He is my younger brother. Five years ago, he sacrificed himself for me, and even for the sake of protecting the entire Konoha. I...I'm sorry for him..."

"...Did he make that jade pendant for you?"

"Hmm... this jade pendant, and this Kunai, are all relics of Ah Yi."

That's why Master Asma regards it as a "treasure as important as life".

"Uh...well, I'm really sorry today, I was supposed to protect you, but instead I bothered you to protect me..."

"It's okay... You also listen to Kaka... Uh no, Hokage has told me, it's true that I messed up and forced you to take me there. Besides, the enemy this time is something you can't handle alone. In this situation Now, I don't want to stand by and watch, so I decided to intervene... I'm really sorry, because of my waywardness, I put you in danger."

"No, nothing. In the final analysis, I am not capable enough..."

"No, you did a great job. On the contrary, I... If I could save Ah Yi like this time back then... Even if I can't change the ending, at least I can live with more peace of mind than now."

When he said this, his eyes seemed to be looking at a far away place, far away...

"If I could have saved Ah Wing like this time back then..."

The author has something to say: I’m sorry that today is 2015.10.18, Uncle Asma’s birthday, but I sent this article out of comprehension...

【Actually, since there is BADEND, there will also be...】

Digression: This Anbu who uses bows and arrows is another image of A Yi originally conceived, but it was abandoned later.But the author has always been unable to let go of this image, so he made him appear in another image in the episode.
