Nine Eyes Cemetery.

"What's wrong with everyone this time?" Ye Hanchuan's vision showed colorful bright lines, and his voice was a little erratic.

And here in the underground base, standing in front of Yehanchuan were Konan and Yahiko Nagato. The strange thing was that they were all looking at his magic lantern body with smiles.

Is there anything strange about me?

Ye Hanchuan noticed the gazes of his friends and couldn't help but look at his body, but he looked left and right and didn't find anything wrong with his body.

"Don't say anything. Is there nothing wrong this time?"

This time, everyone was smiling and saying nothing. This look made Ye Hanchuan a little confused. In the end, it was Xiaonan who couldn't hold it back first. Her pretty face turned slightly red and she turned towards Ye Hanchuan's position with her hands behind her back. come over.

"Hanchuan, happy birthday~"

"Eh?"

What Xiaonan suddenly said made Ye Hanchuan a little confused. Birthday?

What birthday, whose birthday.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~~Happy birthday to you!"

The three of them clapped their hands rhythmically at the same time. Yahiko and Nagato were humming the tune "Happy Birthday to You", while Konan was standing in front of Ye Hanchuan's slide body and singing aloud.

Birthday, today is my birthday?

Ye Hanchuan's eyes were a little blurry. By the way, the unique climate here in the Kingdom of Thunder made him almost forget that it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter and his birthday had indeed arrived.

"You...everyone, everyone." Ye Hanchuan felt as if something had touched his heart.

In his previous life, he never had many friends due to his personality. He received a widowed education since he was a child. Even his mother, who lived in the same city, he rarely met due to various reasons.

At that time, he didn't know what it was like to celebrate a birthday.

And in this life, as a child living in a barren land of rain, struggling every day to have enough food and clothing, celebrating a birthday is even more of a luxury.

Not to mention the days when the four of them were living alone and dependent on each other. Although their living standards had improved a lot since becoming Jiraiya's disciples, their birthdays had never been celebrated.

"Hmph, we have prepared a cake for you, but it's a pity that you are too far away from here, so I have to eat it for you without any courtesy!" Yahiko raised his hands in the air and said very playfully.

Nagato was also smiling there, looking quite shy even when he was with his friends. After hearing Yahiko's words, Konan couldn't help but glared at him angrily, as if to blame him for making a joke on Ye Hanchuan.

"thank you all......"

Ye Hanchuan lowered his head, making the already blurry slide body even more unclear. He did not have the calmness and calmness of the past, nor the maturity and stability of the past. He is really in line with his current age. Now He is really just a teenager.

Looking at Konan who was smiling in front of him, Yahiko who was actively adjusting the atmosphere there, and Nagato who was the most inconspicuous and insignificant, Ye Hanchuan felt a desire to protect him from the bottom of his heart.

he decided,

He wants to protect everyone's smiles forever, and he wants everyone to reach the top of the world one by one in the future.

"The four of us will definitely make it to the end!"

At this moment, a string that had always been tight in Ye Hanchuan's heart was completely broken.

······

Opening his eyes from the tatami, Ye Hanchuan felt that he was finally alive this time.

Ever since the day when the family and the village were massacred when he was ten years old, Ye Hanchuan felt that the self at the age of ten was already dead in this life, and everything in the future was driven by hatred.

At that time, I was just a seed of hatred, watered by blood and sprouting. Only through constant killing could I find the slightest sense of reality that I was still alive.

Fortunately, there were Konan, Yahiko, Nagato, and later Jiraiya-sensei, so that he did not die completely. During those three years, he was on the border of half-death, struggling in the spiral of life and death.

And today, Ye Hanchuan finally felt the feeling of being alive, the feeling of being really needed by others and that he also needed others.

In the past, he had been life-and-death friends with these three people, friends who were willing to risk their lives for each other and close friends who were willing to die for each other, but things were different after this day.

Maybe for the sake of their companions, the three of them are willing to die for everyone, but what Ye Hanchuan has decided now is that he does not want any of the four to die for whom, but to let all four of them go to the end without losing, and to go to the end of everything. Finally.

Although all this is difficult, he has now decided that this is the path of his life.

The silver-white mask was taken off, and Ye Hanchuan's face was as cold and sad as before, but the eyes that were once like a pool of stagnant water had come to life.

"It's so funny, I'll cry too..."

The corners of his eyes felt a little cold, as if something had slipped and dripped downwards.

I have memories of my previous life and am extremely precocious. I have never cried in this life since I was born. This is the first time today.

Ye Hanchuan looked at his hand. The past four years of his career as a killer had always left a faint smell of blood on it, which was pale and transparent.It seemed that the red blood flow and the blue-black meridians could be seen, which gave him a strong sense of unreality.

The relationship has been broken, and the majestic emotions that he has suppressed for decades in his two lives seem to burst out uncontrollably.

"what happened......"

Ye Hanchuan held his chest in discomfort,

Damn, there must be something wrong. Ye Hanchuan found that his hands were trembling slightly, which he had never experienced before.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who."

The partition at the door was knocked on by someone outside, who seemed to be someone from the Nankan Hall.

Just now, my internal energy was in chaos, my real power was out of control, and I even forgot to use the Qi Escape and External Sensation.

"It's me, Suzuki Kanon. Sir, you haven't eaten yet. I asked everyone in the gym to prepare some barbecue. If you don't mind, sir, let's go eat together."

"Okay, I'll be there in a while."

After hearing Ye Hanchuan's reply, Suzuki Kanon quietly left the door, and Ye Hanchuan stood up and walked out after calming down the raging chakra in his body for a while.

He was in very bad condition now, and this time he walked out without even taking his signature silver mask.

The breeze blew across his face, and the slightly cool air made Ye Hanchuan feel comfortable and relieved his previous discomfort.

Although the altitude of the Kingdom of Thunder is not low, the location of the swordsmanship dojo Kenan Hall where Ju Fangyu Kenryu is located is in a basin surrounded by mountains. In addition, the Kingdom of Thunder has many volcanoes, so naturally there are many natural hot springs. The hot spring industry is also famous all over the world.

"After finishing the barbecue, let's go take a dip in the special hot springs of the Kingdom of Thunder. I hope it will make me feel better."

The past four years of life have been full of killing and bloodshed. Ye Hanchuan's determination and psychological quality are far beyond those of his peers, but now that his love relationship has been lost, he may fall into madness at any time.
