Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 370 The Best Gift
It was late at night, about ten o'clock in the evening.

The streets of Muye Village were empty, only a few figures passed by, most of them were ninjas returning home after busy work.

In this day and age, technology has advanced rapidly, but electricity consumption is still a luxury, so the whole village looks a bit dark,

Um...just the black on the pure light.

Not long after, four hurried figures approached the outskirts of Muye Village. Instead of going through the gate, they entered through a secret passage.

After all, the goalkeeper needs to rest at such a late hour.

The two ninjas skillfully turned into the still dimly lit Hokage Building,
The three generations don't stay up too many times when they are older, but he is still sitting in front of the office desk today,

He didn't process the files, just waited quietly for something, and there was a team of Anbu as a defensive force beside him.

Click!

Xiuyi opened the door of the office, walked in with Qiuye,
The process of this task involves complicated situations. First, the disappearance of Konoha Ninja and the abnormality of the lord of Matsuyama Castle. Finally, the truth was discovered and he participated in the competition for the Seven Star Tree.

A lot of details have to be reported to Konoha's senior management to discuss how to deal with Matsuyama Castle, how to deal with the other two countries, and so on.

Xiuyi took out a scroll from behind, and motioned for a few Anbu to come over and take over.
"These are the bodies of the Feng Squad and the Nakagawa Kaminobu Squad. Two of them have completely disappeared, and the rest of them are partially incomplete. We have sorted them out as much as possible."

After the Third Hokage nodded, the leader Anbu came over to hand over to Shuichi, and soon left the Hokage Building to prepare for the burial of his comrades.

This is the fate of ninjas. It is not bad to find the corpse and return to the hometown.
The big families in the village have many death indicators every year, not to mention other civilian ninjas.

The only bad thing is that the ninja world is used to keeping corpses for burial, and cremation into ashes is basically not recognized.
Therefore, the technique of filthy reincarnation is a taboo, because the performer obviously desecrated the corpses of the dead, completely destroying the rest of their souls.

"...In this way, before the handover, Kirigakure and Sandgone have disappeared, and they probably left the territory of the Fire Kingdom."

Throwing away the heaviness of death, Xiuyi reported the details of the task to Sandai in a relaxed tone.

After saying the last word related to the mission, he immediately yawned and complained: "This mission took a long time, and there were many fierce battles during it. Our team is almost exhausted and paralyzed."

"Like Itachi is still a sub-nin, and Zhishui's strength is no longer something that can be measured by the sub-nin. They are downstairs..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little speechless. It was Xiuichi's request to bring Itachi. According to Konoha Village's normal way of cultivating new ninjas, they all started from low-level tasks and experienced slowly.
There is no such thing as Xiuyi's reckless way of doing things, pulling the ninja straight to the battlefield where the conflict is the most intense. If other jnin follow his example, no amount of ninja in the village will be enough to die.

"I see, since you have worked so hard, you should go and rest quickly."

Seeing Xiuyi pretending not to hear after Sandai made his voice, he already knew what fart he wanted to fart.

Considering that their team has won huge benefits for the village, he continued: "A special Jōnin and a Zhongnin quota, let them come over tomorrow for the promotion ceremony, and you will notify them."

"Master Hokage is mighty! Then you don't mind if I bring some small things? After all, there is no money for this task!"

"..."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Xiuyi quickly called Shisui and Itachi over, and saw that they looked tired but strong, grinned and said:

"After my unremitting efforts and recommendations, Master Naruto has decided to officially grant you the positions of Jōnin and Chunin. Congratulations!"

When their faces were shocked, the surprise was not over yet, Xiuyi immediately took out two scrolls and handed them over,
"My ninjutsu library does not restrict you, and I didn't think of what to choose as a promotion gift for a while, so I will use this three generations of masters' experience in Huodun practice as a gift. I hope you are satisfied."

Itachi and Shisui's expressions remained unchanged, and while they were pleasantly surprised, they solemnly stretched out their hands to take it.
"Thank you teacher!"

"Thank you Captain!"

"Okay, boys, I wish you a good night's sleep tonight!"

After the matter was dealt with, several people quickly parted ways and said goodbye, and went back to their respective homes.

Xiuyi was not lying when she said that she was tired, and it is not an exaggeration to describe this mission as moving three thousand miles.
And his last behavior of guarding a huge area was extremely exhausting Chakra, and the other Konoha ninjas had no pressure.

There is no way, the order I issued must be carried out with tears in my eyes. Whoever made this is what the heir of Naruto should do,

It is very important for a village to show its strength and sense of responsibility to as many ninjas in the village as possible, and to ensure a smooth transition when it succeeds in the future.

Without using Chakra to run fast, Xiuyi walked slowly towards his villa,
This corner of the village is far more lively than other places now, but not many people would go shopping outside at such a late hour, so he certainly had no interest in staying there.

He turned skillfully into the yard, locked the iron gate, and opened the villa door with the key in a low voice, so as not to wake up Bai who lived in the corner room on the first floor.

"Huh? Someone?"

After returning home, Xiuyi completely relaxed, turned off the clairvoyance, and did not use the chakra perception anymore.
However, relying on the ninja quality he has cultivated for a long time, he still felt that there was someone in the main hall on the second floor, "Is it red? She should come today to help me clean the room..."

BOOM——

As soon as he stepped up the last flight of stairs, there was a sudden light sound from both sides of the wall, and the lights in the entire small hall were turned on.

The slightly dim warm yellow light made the room look extremely warm, and Xiuyi rarely showed surprise when he saw the large number of colored bars falling around him.

"Happy birthday! Shuichi-kun!"

The girl with black hair and red hair jumped out from the wall, with a smile on her fair face, she looked at Xiuyi's face with incomparable tenderness.

"Red...you are?"

Xiuyi's eyes widened slightly.

Hong approached and took his hand, led him to the sofa in the living room and sat down next to each other. There was an exquisite dark cake on the table in front of him.
"You will be 1 in one hour!" Hong was a little embarrassed, but looked at him expectantly.
"I remember that you like sweets the most, so I specially prepared a chocolate cake. Would you like to have a taste?"

When Xiuyi saw all this, he was inevitably in a trance for a moment.

It has been more than 10 years since he traveled here, and no one has ever celebrated his birthday.

Even in his infancy and early childhood, the ninja parents didn't give him much care because they were busy with the war.

For so many years in a row, the only gift he got every birthday was the system's "Ding",
Instantly gave him enough power to cross the ninja world, making him deeply feel that he still has a sense of existence.

Xiuyi has many friends, teachers and disciples, many of whom are life-and-death acquaintances who can be trusted, but he often feels lonely.

Now he wants to understand, because he has no family!

There is no one who can open up his heart and indulge himself wantonly.

He came to Konoha Village with a mature soul, so he couldn't sincerely say "Everyone in Konoha is my family" like the third generation,
But after today, will he have...

"Xiuyi, Xiuyi!" Realizing that he was suddenly distracted, Hong gently pulled his arm and said with a pout:

"Are you too tired after returning from a busy mission? How about going to rest first..."

"No, I'm not tired now!" Xiuyi turned her head and smiled, and pulled the little cake to the table,
After cutting it open with a knife, he handed a fork to Hong, "Come on, I want you to eat with me."

This girlfriend is really not in vain!

"... "

The taste of the cake is sweet with a little bit of bitterness. After all, the girl is not a professional in dessert making. It obviously took a lot of effort to make it like this in a busy schedule.
The two had a great time eating one bite at a time, and they had to feed each other from time to time.

In the ambiguous atmosphere that is slowly heating up, whenever someone accidentally gets cream on the corner of their mouth,
The other person will always reach out with good intentions... also use his mouth to help him (her) suck away the cake residue...

After the cake was finished, Xiuyi wrapped one hand around Hong's waist, and told her what happened on this mission.

Soon, he felt that it was too stupid to talk about such a topic in such an environment. Thinking of a certain plan in the past,

He approached the other person's ear, and tentatively asked, "I kind of want to go to a hot spring, or...you come too?"

Hong's body tightened instantly, and his ears were dyed pink visible to the naked eye. After hesitating for a while, he said shyly:
"You must have bad intentions, you must have said that you are not allowed to do anything. Also... today's situation is special, and there will be no second time in the future."

"No problem!" Xiuyi agreed, patting her chest.

As for whether there is a second, third or even nth time, ha ha, creatures like women are duplicity.

"Go and sit down first, I'll come later..."

Before she finished speaking in a low voice, Xiu Yi jumped out of the sofa like a rabbit, Hong secretly let out a "bah" in his heart, and followed slowly with a hot face.

...

After cleaning the hot spring room at lightning speed, the hot water has been filled for a long time, and the small space is full of heat.

Xiuyi exhaled comfortably and soaked in the water, as if a lot of the fatigue in his body was directly evaporated, he leaned against the pool wall and assumed a comfortable sitting posture,
Only one head was exposed out of the water, and the eyes were fixed on the door without moving.

wow wow wow-

There was an extremely slight sound of the sliding door, and a figure stepped in.

Xiuding took a closer look and almost whistled, the girl appeared in front of him with her hair coiled on top of her head, wrapped in a big white towel,

Although nothing was exposed on the whole body, but it can be seen visually...the ravine is very deep.

"I don't look, I don't look!"

In order to let her get out of the pool immediately, Xiuyi immediately covered her eyes with her palms, the method of playing with fingertips is too low-level,

Deceive people as soon as possible first, it's easy to talk about anything!
Hong is indeed a rare and outstanding female ninja in the village. She swung the bath towel and entered the water in one go.

"... "

In the bathroom, the conversation between the two could be heard faintly. As a ninja and with different hobbies, there were not many topics that could be lightened up. They were generally the village, ninjas, the future, and so on.

"...I met an interesting female ninja in this mission."

Seeing that the hot spring time was about to end, Xiuyi suddenly mentioned other women in front of a woman, instantly attracting Hong's attention.

Without waiting for the latter to take the initiative to ask questions, he immediately repeated his voice: "She is a master who is good at lightning escape, and she is younger than you.

But... after meeting me, she was torn in half and died in pain on the spot, because she was a genius of the enemy country and a murderer who had killed the Konoha ninja. "

"Now I regret not being on my aunt's side." Xiuyi was determined and rarely changed his mind, but he changed tonight.

Hong's position in his heart has changed, it's more like the only family member,
Only now did I understand that even if Ishikawa and Kakashi died unexpectedly, he was sad at best, and there was a high probability that he would find a way to get revenge.

But if something happened to Hong, he might be in great pain, excruciating pain, and he couldn't even predict what would happen next.

Human emotions cannot be stifled. When someone walked into his heart as a time traveler, Xiuyi became more afraid of this emotion, unlike before, who was just purely worried about his friends.

Hong was silent for a while and didn't speak for a while, but her heart was warm. After a while, she whispered: "Then... what do you want to do?"

"I want to put the mark of the Flying Thunder God on you first!" Xiuyi said slowly, "This mark will last forever. As for other hole cards, props and ninjutsu, I will figure out a way later."

"Then come!" Hong Qi Ruo Yousi said, the voice came from nowhere, and there seemed to be an inexplicable expectation in the tone,
But after the words came out, she felt that she seemed to be too active, and the direction of the plot... seemed to be out of control.

Xiu Yi moved her body solemnly, "Then I'm here?!"

clap clap-

The two got closer and closer, and when the distance between the two sides was less than one person wide, the thickening water mist could not block Xiuyi's sight at all.

The scene in front of him was too clear, but Hong didn't make any cover-up actions at all, the blood rushed to Xiuyi's head instantly, and he rushed forward like an aurora.

Whoa!

The large bath towel hanging on the wall was spread out on the marble platform by the pool somehow,

The soft and thick fibers were flattened by the superimposed weight of the two, and the tactile collision...was not on the towel beneath him.

"Sure enough, you planned it long ago!" Said red-faced and red-eared.

But she didn't have any struggles, the 18th birthday means a lot to everyone, the cake is not a gift at all,

Because she carries the most precious gift with her, and she has already thought about giving it to her loved ones.

"Where's the Mark of the Flying Thunder God?" There was a murmuring voice in the air.

"...It was secretly engraved last year."

"..."

At this moment, Xiuyi's spirit seems to have traveled back to the previous life, the game that he hadn't touched in more than ten years, but now he still remembers it fresh.

"No...don't..." Hong grabbed Xiuyi's hair with both hands.

"Just once, the only time."

She acquiesced.

Facing the bushes...

Overheated state!Dragon strike!Tides of Blood!Energy pouring out!

"Huh, the happy time is always short."
