Huang Tu, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, glanced at the messenger ninja beside him. At this moment, his raised left leg didn't know whether to move forward or backward. He looked embarrassed and pitiful.
After a few breaths, he stretched out his fist and hit the ground in frustration.
"Damn you kid, how dare you lie to me!"
He stood up and looked at the dark forest not far away. His face was green and white, and he remembered it.
"Next time, I won't lose again..."
Huang Tu said silently in his heart.
…
The Northern Forest region of the Land of Rain.
Because it rains all year round, the humidity here is so heavy that even taking a breath feels like drinking water.
Tonight, in the slightly cool and rainy night, I heard a series of rustling sounds at some point. The Konoha ninjas stationed here alertly sensed that something was wrong, and they all clenched their kunai, preparing to face the enemy.
At the same time, after running around all night, the Konoha ninja from the northern camp finally arrived here.
The hand-to-hand confrontation in the dark made both sides startled. With the help of the dim light, everyone quickly resolved the misunderstanding.
After settling down, all the powerful Jōnin gathered together.
At this moment, no matter who they were loyal to, no matter what their views were on Uchiha Mitsuki, they were silently praying in their hearts for the safe return of the boys.
"I should have gone..."
It was almost getting dark, but the two of them hadn't come back yet, and Gu Jie became more and more impatient.
Fugaku's expression on the side also didn't look good. Although he had always wanted to compete with Uchiha Mitsuki, but more than anything else, he hoped that the boy could come back safe and sound.
Hearing the sighs from the young guards, others felt a little uncomfortable.
After tonight, they no longer have the intention to look down on the young man, because their courage to sacrifice alone makes them admire him endlessly.
…
Outside the base.
Matt Dai and Hinata Haiki stretched their necks and looked around, and next to them were Aburame Ryoma and Yahiko.
After running away all night, the three teenagers all looked exhausted, but they still held on to their spirits and waited here.
"coming!"
"It's Lord Miyue, they're back!"
Through feedback from bugs and vision, Aburame Ryoma and Hinata Haiki reacted instantly.
The two of them rushed towards the direction where Uchiha Mitsuki came without any explanation, and the remaining four people followed closely behind.
In the distance, Uchiha Mitsuki and Minato were limping along while supporting each other.
Tonight, all the plans went smoothly as expected, but unfortunately, something happened when Minato was taking him to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.
They were teleported into the ditch, the kind that fell from the sky.
What was even more unfortunate was that the water in the ditch was shallow, and both he and Minato's legs were injured and they could not move quickly.
To be honest, this was the first time Uchiha Mitsuki had seen Minato make a mistake, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart - Q can be twisted, so I suggest you donate your yellow hair, doesn't he look good with a bald head?
As if he felt his resentment, Minato's expression at that time was as innocent as possible.
Seeing this, what else could Uchiha Mitsuki say, but of course he chose to forgive him.
In this way, he and Minato supported each other and walked all night.
"Minato should be here soon, please bear with me."
Minato seemed to have broken his right leg, and the cold sweat on his forehead didn't stop all the way.
"Is it okay to keep this matter secret? I want to lose face..." Minato said weakly.
"Tsk, tsk, you care about your image so much. Don't worry, I won't tell you if there are more. Just tell Jiraiya." Uchiha Mitsuki decided to tease Minato.
"Ah?" Minato smiled bitterly: "Stop it, Mitsuki! Mr. Jiraiya's mouth doesn't even have a mouth to hold the door. What's the difference between telling him and telling the whole of Konoha?"
"Hahahaha, when senior brother Jiraiya hears you arrange him like this, he will definitely help you promote it, and he will do it very hard..."
Uchiha Mitsuki laughed loudly.
"..."
Minato blinked his blue eyes and remained silent, looking autistic.
Uchiha Mitsuki showed a bright smile.
He plans to proudly say when he is old, every cause must have its effect, and Minato's retribution will be me!
Before Uchiha Mitsuki could finish laughing, two figures appeared in a flash. They were Hinata Haiki and Matt Dai. Without saying a word, they carried him and Minato on their backs.
"Welcome back! Mitsuki-sama, Minato!"
Hinata Haimu tilted his head and showed a gentle smile towards the two teenagers.
"Thank you!" Minato nodded politely.
But Uchiha Mitsuki did not reply, because at this moment the boy actually fell asleep leaning on Hinata Haiki's shoulder.
The three Yahikos and Aburame Ryoma who came later saw this scene in front of them, and their hearts finally sank into their stomachs.
At this moment, the distant sky has turned white, and the rising red sun indicates that there will be no rain today and it will be a sunny day.
The slightly cool sunshine in the early morning shines freely in the forest, passing through the layers of leaves, illuminating the profile of Uchiha Mitsuki's sleeping face, and the smile raised at the corner of the boy's mouth is very beautiful.
The group of people gathered around Uchiha Mitsuki and Minato and rushed towards the base not far away.
…
In a certain room.
Uchiha Mitsuki, who fell into a deep sleep, could not hear the cheers outside, nor could he hear everyone's praise for him.
He is having a long, long dream now.
In the dream, there were classmates, teachers, and partners from his previous life, as well as parents he had never met before.
But these people and things disappeared like wind and dispersed like fog in the blink of an eye, and no trace could be found again.
The illusory scenes changed again and again, and gradually he saw the battle between Hashirama and Madara, and the decisive battle between Naruto and Sasuke.
Everything in the dream seemed extremely normal, but Uchiha Mitsuki always felt that something was missing.
"What exactly is missing...wait!" His heart ached: "Why am I not in my own dream?"
"No!"
After screaming, Uchiha Mitsuki woke up from his dream. He touched the cold sweat on his forehead and stared at the plain white wall in a daze with lingering fear.
"Is it a dream... But this is too weird..." After calming down, Uchiha Mitsuki always felt that there was something wrong with this dream: "Why, can I know that I am dreaming? And a dream without myself, how can I
It feels weird even looking at it.”
Just when he was about to delve deeper, a long-lost voice from the system sounded in his mind.
"Host, don't you find it tiring to live for others?"
"Bucket? It was the dream you asked me to have, right?" Uchiha Mitsuki asked.
