Three Memorials Days was just around the corner. Not just The Village of Hidden Leaves, all other countries also participated the tradition that was made after The Great War against Madara ended. Memorial Days that's not only ended in a day, but three. On the first day, people of each country would gather and pay respect to those who died in the wars that had happened throughout the Shinobi history. List and list of names will be read, names of their beloved ones, and not to be forgotten, names of their respected opponents, who, apart of causing grief to the people, also made them become stronger and closer together.
On the end of the first day, all Shinobi from all over the world will go to the places where their respected ones had fallen. It doesn't matter if it's their beloved ones or the ones they defeated to death. Or maybe the last place they met the person who never return back to them. Some will bring their children, to tell the same story as any other Memorial Days. All Shinobi will have free access into any country during these three days. People will meet the ones they fought alongside with, even from the other countries, or maybe people that they had fought once. It's not important. The memories will keep flooding in their minds. How nostalgic. And that was how the Second Day passed.
Those who wished to stay at their chosen places would stay, while others will go back to their respected countries. The final day of Three Memorial Days was not like the other two days that filled with sadness or longing, but more like a festival. The most favorite day out of the three for young Shinobi. Filled with shows and performances, a festival like no other. Each shows and performances will re-enact almost every significant and big event that ever occurred in the past. Storytellers, consist of those who even had been to the war will tell all kinds of stories to the youngsters. Stories that had been repeated for so many times, stories that no one doesn't know. But those stories are one of the keys to strengthen the spirit of Shinobi inside the heart of those little children who have never experienced pain, and I hope, never will.
And that's how Three Memorial Days passed each year. Three days that will remind them of the history that patched with blood and darkness, also with hope and determination, not to forget, love and hatred. Yes. It's getting near. People would become busier than ever. They also nearly arrived, and are on pursuit of one man. But, that's not the only reason they came. They escaped.
