That night, after dinner, Uchiha Mitsuki brought Yahiko and the three of them together.
"Brother Jian Yue, aren't you going to practice tonight?" Yahiko asked.
Uchiha Mitsuki shook his head: "No, I have something to tell you."
"What's wrong, Brother Jianyue?"
Xiaonan felt a little strange.
"I plan to take you back to the Konoha camp. Although I know this news may be a bit sudden for you, this is a decision I made after careful consideration, because it is already very dangerous here." After a few seconds of hesitation.
, Uchiha Mitsuki said: "That being said, I will respect your choice."
After speaking, he looked at the three of them expectantly.
Just as Yahiko was about to agree, he was stopped by Xiaonan who was standing beside him.
At this time, Yahiko noticed that on the right side, Nagato's face, half-hidden by his red hair, was full of tangles. He seemed to be struggling fiercely in his heart, and he decided to remain silent.
Uchiha Mitsuki also saw Nagato's twisted expression, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. In fact, he could have said goodbye and left directly, but he really didn't want to leave his disciples in a war-filled rain like Jiraiya did.
country.
At least I don’t want to now…
What's more, according to the Chinese tradition, the love and care of the elders for the younger ones is engraved in the bones, and the relationship between master and disciple is not a casual relationship.
Only when they graduate from school can he let go with peace of mind.
The word "yes" was on Nagato's lips, but he couldn't say it. He had not forgotten, nor dared to forget the night when his parents died.
To this day, he clearly remembers that the Konoha ninjas are murderers and they are enemies.
But he was also very attached to the gentle Uchiha Mitsuki. This boy who was like a brother and a father gave him a strong sense of security.
Are you resisting?
While Nagato was hesitating, Uchiha Mitsuki gradually became disappointed. He took out the scroll he had prepared long ago and placed it in front of the three of them.
"Here are recorded some ninjutsu suitable for you, ranging from D level to B level. There are also some training tips in it. Take a good look and learn it carefully. Do you understand?"
After saying that, he handed the scroll recording the violent power of Zheng Wei to Yahiko.
"This is a ninjutsu entrusted to me by my friend. Yahiko, can you let it bloom again in the ninja world?"
"Did a friend entrust it to me? That must be very important..." Yahiko took the scroll and slowly lowered his head. It could be seen that he was in a very low mood now.
"Xiao Nan, your Paper Release potential is huge. You must continue to practice firmly. I believe you will have a place in the ninja world in the future."
While talking, Uchiha Mitsuki gave Xiaonan the hairpin he bought from the market yesterday.
"Girls can't be like boys. They must learn to dress themselves up. Also, don't put paper flowers on your hair in the future. Although they look good when you fold them, the meaning of the paper flowers is not very good and they are not worthy of you."
"Brother Jian Yue, I understand..."
After receiving the hairpin, Xiaonan took off the paper flowers on her temples and inserted the hairpin into her hair. Tears filled her eyes unconsciously.
"Well, this way, our Xiao Nan will be even more beautiful." Seeing Xiao Nan's sad expression, Uchiha Mitsuki suppressed the sadness in his heart and heard the comforting voice.
After a while, he stopped at Nagato at the end.
"Nagato, your eyes are very special. Remember to hide them before you become strong, otherwise these eyes are likely to bring disaster to the three of you." Uchiha Mitsuki took out another scroll and placed it on the
In Nagato's hand: "This scroll contains the secret about your eyes. In a critical moment, just open it. If you are not in danger, wait until you are 15 years old."
After taking a deep look at Yahiko, Xiaonan and Nagato, Uchiha Mitsuki stood up and prepared to leave.
He didn't want to say goodbye.
Because he didn't like the parting scene.
"Wait a minute, Brother Jianyue!"
At this moment, Nagato's voice came from behind, and Uchiha Mitsuki quickly turned around and looked at Nagato.
At this moment, with tears on the young man's face, he hugged the scrolls in his hands together on the ground, strode forward, and stuffed all the scrolls back into Uchiha Mitsuki's hands.
"Nagato, what are you...?"
The boy's actions directly poured cold water on Uchiha Mitsuki, and the excitement that had just arisen in his heart was ruthlessly extinguished in an instant.
However, before he could finish his words, Nagato spoke first: "Brother Miyue, we don't understand these things. Can you teach us step by step?"
"Nagato, do you agree?" Uchiha was overjoyed when he saw the moon.
Nagato didn't speak, just nodded silently.
"I am no longer alone. I can't drag down Yahiko and Xiaonan because of me."
Nagato knew that if he chose not to go, then Yahiko and Xiaonan would definitely not go either.
"Then, let's set off now!"
Yahiko ran over and bumped Nagato's arm with a smile on his face.
"...Are we leaving now?"
Xiao Nan didn't react.
"Yes, otherwise?" Yahiko took Xiaonan and Nagato's hands and said sadly: "In the past, I was alone, then I gradually met you, and now the three of us have met Brother Miyue. This time
It’s the fate between us. So don’t hesitate, just keep going like this, Xiaonan, Nagato, we must keep going!”
"Okay! Let's go on together!"
The eyes of the three young people exude charming confidence and longing for the future.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Uchiha Mitsuki was both a witness and a creator. He smiled happily.
…
At the Konoha camp far north of the Land of Rain, the atmosphere was a little gloomy at this time.
In the past two days, they had a small-scale collision with Iwagakure, and they failed.
At this moment, in a tent to the west of the camp, there were constant quarrels.
"Tonight, you shouldn't rush in. Now, most of the genin are dead... It depends on how you explain it to the village, and the teacher of these children is the one who is holding back his anger in the big account!"
"That's too much. Can you speak, you bastard? Do I want them to die? It's obvious that they are not alert enough!"
"enough!"
Hatake Sakumo slammed the table and stopped the two arguing: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Do you know what Iwagakure plans to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the jounin in the tent fell silent.
Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo had a headache.
Compared to the straightforward Sunagakure, this group of Iwagakure were as cunning as a thousand-year-old fox. They could sneak attack, go around, and infiltrate. They used everything. In just one month, he was already a little out of his depth.
But thinking that the Third Hokage promised him the position of Hokage, Hatake Sakumo had to grit his teeth and persist.
