The next morning, I got up very late.Because I was very tired the day before, although it was not a real battle, I still felt obvious fatigue, and the injury caused by the Thunder Release on my hand had not yet fully recovered.I wiped my eyes with my sleeve, then turned my head. Sa Ren was still sleeping on his side, and I could still see the slight rise and fall of his body from a close distance.I sat up and looked at the time. It was already past 8 o'clock. It was rare for me to get up so late. I was definitely tired.I raised my head and saw golden beams of light like a wreath imprinted on the board on the left that was full of sores, and the board began to look a little transparent.You can hear the chirping of birds outside, and the melody of spring seems to have turned into music and poured out... Unfortunately, I thought too much, spring has passed long ago, and it is summer in late June.It's a scorching hot summer again, but this place is okay. The summer in Sunagakure Ninja Village in the Land of Wind is extremely scary, and no one wants to go out.

In the distance, a white figure sat on the railing in front, which could be seen clearly through the broken door that had been torn down.His legs were hanging outside the railing, and he raised his head to look up. A little bit of snow-white was exposed behind his short orange hair.I stretched my arms up, pulled them, then yawned and asked him, "How did you sleep?"

He didn't turn his head, but answered directly and calmly: "It's not bad." After a pause, "How are you?"

I was surprised that he would ask this, but I still answered: "It's pretty good, I slept until I woke up." He didn't answer, just looked up.

I got out of the quilt, pulled up my clothes, and walked next to him.He turned back and glanced at me.He looked like he thought I was going to say something nice to him, but I stretched out my hand and asked him, "Borrow me the comb, thank you."

He narrowed his eyes, then took out a wooden comb from his pocket and handed it to me.

"Thanks." I turned the comb around in my hand, winked at him, then walked back and sat on the ground and started arranging my hair.When the sun shines on your hair, your hair will glow silvery white.This reminds me of Bai Chuan. I don’t know why Bai Chuan’s hair is white, and I don’t know that his hair, which is white itself, emits no luster in the sun.

By the time I had combed my hair, 10 minutes had passed.It takes a lot of time to comb carefully strand by strand.It's also because Mu's hair is relatively long among boys, reaching to her shoulders, so she carries a very beautiful comb with her.I feel in my heart that this was given to him by his sister. The main reason is that it is a very girly style. Just by looking at Mu's indifferent and ignorant look, I know that he doesn't understand the style of combs at all. .Unlike me, I have used 10 combs in the past 7 years, and 5 of them have been worn out. I forgot to bring one at home, and I have a spare in the box.

At this time, Sa Ren woke up, but his eyes were still full of sleepiness.

"Hmm... Yue Yexiu, where did you get this comb?" he asked in a daze.

"Are you stupid?" I said, "This is Mu's comb."

"Mu..." He rubbed his eyes, "What did Mu use the comb for?"

I sweated a lot for him, "Do you want to say that Mu has no hair?"

At this time, Mu turned his head stiffly, glanced at Sa Ren, and then turned back. I seemed to see him roll his eyes.I was so happy.

In the morning, Sa Ren told us that he would go to the river first so that we could wait for a while before going over.Mu Ze chased me away because he wanted to change into a set of clothes that he didn't often wear for training, because it didn't matter if it got wet, he could change back to the original set.I had no choice but to go find Sa Ren first.As I walked, I looked at the scenery in the surrounding woods.The green forest casts dots of black shadows on the ground through the sunlight. When the wind blows, the shadows of the trees flutter, and the light and shadow on the ground also shuttle back and forth, looking novel and clever.

But when I passed by, I remembered that Mu had no idea how to get here.Forget it, he must have a way to get here, I hope he won't get lost.

When I passed by, Sa Ren was sitting on the railing of a small red bridge on the river far away from me, looking down at the thin flowing water under his feet.The sun reflects on the clear water, and the light and shadow are slightly exposed, flickering and shining like jewelry.From a distance, the water seems to be covered with a layer of gold.Sa Ren was sitting there far away. His black clothes and long red hair were spread on the river, and a vague shadow was flowing in the river.

I walked around him and stood behind him.I don’t know what he was looking at, but he was just looking at the water below, quietly, as if he didn’t know I was coming.After a long time, I finally spoke: "What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Nothing!" he replied, turning around and answering easily.

I looked at him again and said, "Then let's start practicing. How about that?"

"Isn't Mu here yet?" He raised his head, looking like he was stalling for time and didn't want to practice.

"He is changing clothes, do you want to take a look?" I asked angrily.

He showed a very lewd smile.

"Don't you dare to practice?"

"Dare you." He answered me crisply.

"Then go down." I raised my foot and pushed hard with my knee. He was startled and fell down without holding on to the railing.There was a sound of something falling into the water, and the splash was so high that it was above my head. I walked over and lowered my head to look at him.

"Yue Yexiu! What are you doing?!" He complained, sitting in the water, his whole body soaked.

I chuckled and said, "You will definitely get wet while practicing this. It's better to get used to the water temperature in advance."

"What about you? Just watching us play in the water?"

"Of course not, I will teach you to practice this basic skill." I replied.

"Then why don't you come down?" he seduced me slyly.

I looked at him and didn't reply.After a while, I felt that what he said made sense. I concentrated my chakra without forming any seals, then climbed over the railing and jumped into the river, landing on the water with a "pop" sound.He looked at me dissatisfied, as if he wanted to take revenge on me. "I'm different from you. I can stand on the water without even the soles of my feet getting wet." As I said that, I lifted one foot. There was no water on it because it had a special layer of chakra attached to it.

He pouted.

"And your ninjutsu is inherently inhibited by water, right?" I asked him provocatively.

"how do you know?"

"Isn't that what the Fifth Kazekage is like?" I asked back.

Unexpectedly, he laughed out loud, and a smile broke out on his face: "Actually, it's not 'full gram', but 'half gram'." I raised my eyebrows, not understanding what he meant, and he continued: "Think about it, The fifth Kazekage's sand is mixed with chakra, but it is still sand after all, so it will stick together when it touches water. What I use is magnetic release. The magnetic release controls gold sand. It is gold sand--gold. Gold It’s not afraid of water, it just adds a little weight.”

I was a little surprised, but still smiled and replied: "Then let us see your true strength next time, if you want to prove that you are a top student."

"Didn't I say that top students don't refer to their fighting prowess?!"

"So you're just talking on paper?"

"Can't say that either..."

"So you have the strength?"

"more or less."

I said "cut" and felt that this guy Sa Ren was pretending to be humble and confident at the same time.It's really contradictory.

At this time, I saw a strange smile flash across his face, just like the sun rising, which made me curious about what he would do next. This led to a chain reaction that I didn't expect at all. There was no way to guard against his next move.He raised his body slightly and swept his legs from the water. The moment he emerged from the water, water splashed everywhere, and a burst of water mist rose into the sky and fell directly on me.I didn't expect this at all. As soon as I took a step back, water splashed all over me.I blinked and hung my wet hair back from my forehead and behind my ears.Sa Ren smiled and apologized to me: "I'm so sorry, captain..."

Before he could finish speaking, I reacted and shouted at him: "Sa Ren——"

"oops……"

"Hey! Sa Ren, why are you running away!"

He stood up, threw off his clothes and ran, splashing on the water.I glanced at him and chased him directly.Because he was pacing in the water, his speed seemed very slow. I caught up with him in 5 seconds.The first time I reached out to grab his clothes, but failed, so the second time I just grabbed his hair.He stopped, covered his head with his hands, and grabbed the roots of the hair on the back of his head, as if to relieve some pain.He yelled "Uh-huh" first, and then begged me for mercy and begged me to let go.

"You know how painful it is, huh?" I pulled his hair upwards and asked him in a provocative whisper.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... I was wrong, Yue Yexiu, I was really wrong, please let go..."

"Does it hurt?" I ignored him.

"It hurts..." He almost laughed, gritted his teeth, closed one eye and looked at me sideways.

"How do you make it up to me?" I asked him.

"How can I compensate?" he asked.

He immediately snapped his fingers and told me happily: "Oh, I know."

I blinked and looked at him.

"How about I give you this as compensation? It's a good deal, right?" He took out a fist-sized leather bag from his pocket and handed it to me, and asked me to let go.I reluctantly let go and he started to rub his hair and then looked at me.I pulled off the rope, opened the bag a little and looked inside, then my eyes lit up, I tied the bag up again and put it in my pocket.He smiled: "I have such things! You can ask me for them at any time, because I am with these things every day..."

"That's pretty much it." I smiled.

After that, it only took Sa Ren 5 minutes to practice walking on the water, which was much faster than when I was a child.Although he also wanted me to teach him how to stand on the water without getting the soles of his shoes wet, he gave up when I told him that I could do this because of my family's special chakra control ability.He looked disappointed.When I asked him why he wanted to learn so much, he said: "Because I was soaked by water for half a gram." I then asked him what this had to do with wet clothes and shoes, and he said that he would also practice covering gold sand on clothes and shoes in the future. The surface of your body is the most defensive shield, so when it encounters water, it will increase its weight and make it difficult to move.

"I asked, where did Kamio go? Why hasn't he come yet?" He asked calmly while sitting on the ripples of the water, looking up at the sky.

"I don't know, he probably got lost." I replied, "But why didn't he call out when he got lost?"

"I don't think he can make a loud noise." Sa Ren interrupted me.

I looked at him, and he lowered his head and looked at me.

"Have you noticed that Kamio's voice is very low and hoarse every time he speaks?"

I nodded.

"Even when he was very angry, like that time," he was referring to the last time he yelled at me while practicing tree climbing, but he said it very carefully, as if he was afraid that these words would make me unhappy. "Just last time...even if he was very angry and grievances, he would not make too much noise. If he was shouting, a person's mouth would grow very big, so that the sound can be doubled and 'exploded'... "

I looked at him strangely: "Do you want to say that Mu can't open his mouth wide?"

"Maybe. He was very careful when eating a few days ago. He didn't even make a sound of chewing? He really chewed slowly..." He spread his hands.

"Are you observing...really carefully?" I wondered why Sa Ren was so concerned about Mu's affairs. "Are you trying to judge what he looks like under his mask?"

He snapped his fingers seriously and made a crisp sound: "Very correct, full marks."

I sighed: "Let's not talk about this for now. I'll go find him."

After saying that, I jumped up from the water, driving a few strings of water splashes, fell to the ground, and then ran deep into the forest.The shade of the trees became even denser, and except for a few finger-sized light spots on the ground, there was almost no sunlight on the ground. The tree trunks were covered with a layer of snow-white mushrooms... mushrooms.I stopped involuntarily and walked to the mushroom.After I confirmed the types of mushrooms, I collected some and put them in ziplock bags and moved on.I found our "camp", but saw no one else, only our sleeping bags, luggage, and the day's clothes that Mu had put on the sleeping bags.I looked up and saw nothing but a hole in the ceiling.I called him several times, but the voice was not very loud and there was no answer.I walked back and forth and thought about the route he would take.Then, I followed the path from here to the river again, but still gained nothing.But when I got to the river, I saw Sa Ren. He took off his shirt and placed it on a stone to dry in the sun. He was still sitting on the railing of the bridge.

"Hey, have you seen Mu?" I asked him loudly from a distance.

He shook for a moment, as if he was startled, then turned back to look at me and said, "No!"

I looked at him for a while, then covered my eyes and turned away: "I'll go find him again..."

He chuckled and said, "You'd better go in the opposite direction and look for it."

I didn't answer directly, but nodded.

Although at first I didn't think that I would be able to find Mu if I walked in the opposite direction, but after looking around in a large circle, I could only decide that this was the case.I opened my eyes and searched for traces of him within a radius of 2 kilometers.Suddenly, I recalled what Shansuke said before that the person he was looking for was Mu... I was shocked.But half a minute later I found him on the other side of the forest.

He wasn't moving very fast, so I quickly kept up with him and jumped down from the tree, landing right in front of him.He did not show a particularly surprised expression, but looked at me calmly and said leisurely: "I have been looking for you for a long time..." There was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"I've been looking for you for a long time too..." I also stared at him.

This time, I took him back. He sighed deeply, then sat down by the river, looking up.Sa Ren called him "Lu Chi", and Mu seemed to admit it. He didn't object, but he didn't fully agree either...

After a while, Mu suddenly turned around and asked me: "How did you find me?"

I smiled slightly and pointed my right index finger at my bandaged right eye: "I am a detective ninja with special blood inheritance limits."
