In the Konoha Orphanage, the night wind blew through the curtains, and the candlelight in the restaurant flickered on and off. Lei Chi, who was sweeping the floor with Nonou, suddenly put down the broom and looked at his mother in confusion.
"Know."
The fingers holding the broom tightened slightly. Nonoyu stopped moving, raised his head, and looked at his son with a flash of curiosity in his eyes.
Today, Nonoyu is wearing a black and white staff uniform and is dressed like a nun. He should be in his forties, but he still has a figure and appearance in his twenties.
It was as if time had not left the slightest trace on her body.
"Then would you mind...telling me about her?"
Sensing the hesitation in Lei Chi's words, Nonoyu paused thoughtfully for a while, then smiled and teased: "That girl Linglong is very beautiful."
"Lei Chi, do you have a crush on her?"
"What do you like or don't like..."
Lei Chi's face tightened, and he suddenly realized: his mother's smile was strange, with an inexplicable sense of mystery, and the look in his eyes was full of...full of teasing?
Looking away unnaturally, Lei Chi whispered: "I'm just a little curious about Linglong's strength. This senior junior high school student seems to be quite extraordinary."
After finishing his words, Lei Chi slowly breathed out: "Mother, although I don't know the true identities of you and your father, you should have a lot of connections in the village, right?"
Several experiences in childhood made Lei Chi realize his father's great supernatural powers. Frequent exchanges with his mother made him realize deeply:
My mother's network of connections in the village is really not built up.
There is only one reason for this judgment:
There seems to be nothing in Konoha Village that my mother doesn't know about.
My parents are not simple...
Lei Chi has noticed this a long time ago, but with his ability, he has not been able to find out the details of his parents, so he rarely pays attention to this aspect to avoid unnecessary worries.
"Contacts..." Nonoyu suddenly felt melancholy. She neither admitted nor denied it. Compared with the above issues, she was more concerned about:
"Lei Chi, do you have a crush on that girl Linglong?"
Realizing that the conversation could not proceed without answering this question, Lei Chi wanted to refuse sternly, but this afternoon, a face as exquisite as porcelain flashed through his mind...
"Well, although she is a few years older than me, it is true..."
"I kind of like it."
"Then hurry up..."
With emotion on his face, Nonoyu stretched out his voice slightly, and Lei Chi subconsciously thought that his mother would say some words of encouragement as usual this time, encouraging him to pursue girls.
Unexpectedly, the conversation changed and he said viciously:
"Pinch off that bit of love in your heart."
"Huh?" Lei Chi was surprised: "Why?"
"There is no reason." Nonoyu responded calmly and began to sweep the floor again. At the same time, he added without raising his head: "When it's time to tell you the reason, you will naturally know."
Realizing that his mother was unexpectedly strong at this moment, completely different from the weak and clingy feeling in the past, Lei Chi suddenly felt very curious and wanted to ask, but...
Thinking of the tacit understanding between him and his mother over the years, Lei Chi still resisted asking.
"In addition, if you have nothing to do, try to stay away from Linglong and don't have any conflicts with her. That girl's ability can easily hurt you. Especially avoid physical contact. You must be careful."
The solemnity in Nonoyu's words made Lei Chi couldn't help but open his mouth, because this was the first time that his mother had warned him to be careful about his peers.
After reviewing the brief fight between Ningji and Linglong, Lei Chi really didn't see anything special about Linglong. The other party's reaction at that moment proved that she was indeed a loser.
Apart from being inexplicably not injured by Neji, Lei Chi really didn't know where Linglong Qiang was. He really didn't think that a guy with such a slow reaction could pose a threat to him.
Mother……
Are you underestimating the power of electromagnetic escape blood successor?
Perhaps seeing his son's disapproval, No Naiyu closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and being cautious, he finally couldn't help but reveal a little information, which was also information that her husband prohibited herself from revealing:
"Linglong can use the palm of her hand...well, it doesn't have to be the palm of her hand. In short, she can release an invisible and extremely powerful bomb through close contact with the opponent."
"bomb?"
"It's not accurate to say bomb, but I don't know how to describe that kind of attack. Your father once explained to me that it seems to be related to the rotation and revolution of something..."
With a wry smile, No Naiyu slowly waved his hand, indicating that he really couldn't remember clearly. Lei Chi didn't force himself when he saw this, and just silently wrote down Linglong's information.
"Close range, invisible bomb, rotation and revolution..."
After muttering a few key words in a low voice, Nonoyu saw Lei Chi's reaction and hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed his son's hand, and said anxiously:
"Lei Chi, please don't go to Linglong for trouble just because you are curious. Whether you are injured or she is injured, it is not a good thing!"
Lei Chi was stunned for a moment. After a while, he nodded seriously:
"I understand, mother."
Although he agreed on the surface, in fact, he was more interested in Linglong: What secrets does this senior high school student at the end of the crane have?
What is her purpose of hiding her strength?
…
The night passes and the sun rises as usual.
"Tiantian, what day is it today?"
In class, Linglong asked the girl next to her in a low voice. After receiving the answer "Tuesday", she breathed a sigh of relief, muttering something, and took out a novel from her bag.
Tiantian vaguely heard the words "three more days".
There are only three days left before the graduation exam. By then, all the students in the class will become genin if nothing unexpected happens, bidding farewell to the simple campus life, but my friend Linglong...
It is quite possible that this could be an accident.
"Linglong, stop reading and listen to the class carefully for a while. What should I do if I repeat the grade again?"
She shook Linglong's shoulders vigorously, and found that her friend was still slumped on the table like a salted fish, motionless. Tiantian became extremely angry, and a series of scoldings were blasted out like a barrage:
"Linglong, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your parents, right? No matter how rich your family is, it's not such a waste, right? The tuition fee for the Ninja School is not a small amount..."
"It's okay, my family is really not short of money."
Being blocked by Linglong without looking back, Tiantian's face froze for a moment, but then his face darkened. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he decided to change his perspective to encourage his friend:
"That Hyuga Neji bullied you like that, don't you want to become a genin and practice hard, and then defeat him?"
"It's okay, I've already gotten used to it."
"Linglong! You really have no ambition!"
Maybe it was because Tiantian's volume was a bit loud, and nearby students glanced at her, but Linglong's reaction was still very dull. Her eyes never left the book "Enduring the World" in her hand, and she just replied slowly:
"If becoming a ruthless killing tool who treats life like dirt is considered ambitious, then this ninja shouldn't do it."
"I have long... prepared myself to spend the rest of my life in a ninja school."
