[Naruto] It turns out you are the tail end of the crane

By the time the banquet was over, it was completely dark outside.

Yuzu followed the noisy crowd and walked out.

Some people were drunk, and they helped each other out, talking strange nonsense.

For example: "I can drink another box!" etc...

Exaggerated by the lively atmosphere at the banquet, Yu Ye's fair face had a rare blush.

Many people were drunk at the entrance, holding on to their shoes and refusing to let go. The people next to them were trying to pull them up with helpless expressions.

However, it is impossible for drunkards to get up, and they soon fall asleep on the shoe rack.

Fortunately they weren't sleeping outside, otherwise they would have frozen quickly.

But lying on the cold floor will probably be tough enough tomorrow.

Mr. Nakajima will definitely have a headache tomorrow.

Yuzu carefully walked around the drunkards, fearing that they would catch her and make her hold her shoes as if they were wine bottles.

Fortunately, no such strange thing happened.

The snow outside was falling, gently covering the entire village.

She held an umbrella and walked alone through the long street toward home.

My feet stepped on the snow, making a crunching sound.

Yuye deliberately walked to a place with a lot of snow. Soon, her shoes and socks were soaked by the melted snow.

The further we walked toward the tribe, the more deserted it seemed, with only guards patrolling outside.

One of the team members greeted Yu Ye: "Little Yu Ye, you are back."

Yuzu pulled down her scarf slightly and replied with a smile: "Well, I went out for a bit today."

"That's right," the guard laughed. His eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed behind Youye and said, "Look, your brother has come to pick you up. You are so happy. It's great to have a brother." .”

Yuye was stunned for a moment, then turned around in surprise, and sure enough she saw Mingshu's figure. He was standing under the lamp with a cane, smiling and waving to her.

His eyes overlapped with the bright lights, and he looked at his sister tenderly through the snow.

Yuzuha showed a smile similar to Akatsuki's.

"Brother..." She didn't care to say goodbye to the guards, and quickly ran to Mingshu and held up an umbrella for him: "Why did you come out?"

Because he didn't have an umbrella, Ming Shu's shoulders were covered with snowflakes, and his face was a little pale under the cold white light.

He took the umbrella from Yu Ye's hand and said calmly: "It's okay. I just came out of the patriarch's house. I didn't expect that it happened to be the time when you were about to go home, so..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by bursts of coughing.

He turned away, his shoulders shaking.

Yuzu felt distressed when she saw it, and she stretched out a hand and ran it along Shun Mingshu's back.

"Did you go to the patriarch's house again?" Youye couldn't help but ask, "I remember that his family doesn't have any children for you to teach."

Mingshu couldn't speak. He tried his best to suppress his cough, but he couldn't do anything.

"Ah, it's true. While talking about business, brother, you should also pay attention to your body."

The intensive coughing sound was a bit hoarse. Youye had never seen him make such a serious mistake before, and she couldn't help but frowned.

Could it be that I caught a cold? The weather has been really cold recently.

After thinking for a moment, she suggested again: "How about going to the hospital."

Mingshu shook his head. He straightened up and took a few breaths, and his coughing gradually subsided.

"Don't worry," Mingshu wiped it with her handkerchief, stuffed it into his pocket, and said hoarsely, "I'm fine."

He touched Yu Ye's cold hand again, "Aren't you cold? Why don't you go home first."

Yuzuha has heard this statement countless times.

Every time I say "don't worry, don't worry", the cough and other things seem to be more serious this winter...

Yuzuye wanted to say something else, but Mingshu patted her on the head and looked at her with a half-smile: "Besides, let's eat eel rice balls tomorrow."

Yuye:......

Reminds me of the eel's fear of being dominated again!

"Forget it..." she said angrily, "You can't burn it, I don't want to eat it."

Mingshu nodded, took her hand and walked home.

The snow in the distance looked pristine and untouched.

She broke away from Mingshu's hand, put the umbrella into his hand, and ran over happily alone, leaving footprints on it randomly.

The snow was so deep that it reached her ankles.

Mingshu couldn't hold her back, so he had to let her go while he watched from behind.

After hearing Yuzu sneeze, he couldn't help but remind her: "Hey, don't get your socks wet, you'll catch a cold."

"It's okay, it's already wet anyway." An indifferent voice came from the other side.

Knowing that this would be the case, Mingshu sighed quietly.

"You..."

When the snow in your hand touches your skin, it turns into a bone-chilling cold, continuously seeping into your skin.

Yuzuha couldn't hold it, so she threw it into the open space as a shuriken. The snowballs broke into pieces and splashed on Akatsuki's body.

Mingshu:......

The coolness on his face made him frown fiercely.

"Hurry up and stop it!"

Yuye smiled and blinked at him, turning a deaf ear to his words, "If it's cold, you should go back first."

Seeing her determination to play, Mingshu felt a headache. He tried to persuade her again: "You are not a child anymore... You will catch a cold if you do this!"

"Will not!"

The vowing voice sounded, and Mingshu wanted to grab her back immediately.

If she keeps playing, she will definitely catch a cold tomorrow morning.

"I said...are you having a snowball fight?" Suddenly, an excited voice broke in, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Yuzuha and Mingshu looked back and saw the boy wearing goggles looking at them eagerly.

Mingshu: Damn it, here comes another one.

After all, this man had a few big words hanging on his forehead: Yuzuha's most loyal playmate.

Looking at him, Mingshu tried to stop him expressionlessly: "No... we are about to..."

But how could Yuzuha let go of this opportunity!

"Obito, this way!" She waved to him from afar, "Get it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of snow came through the air with a cold air. It hit Obito's body with a "pop" and turned into pieces of snow and scattered.

Obito, who was suddenly attacked, had not yet reacted, with a look of innocence and confusion on his face.

Yu Ye looked at him like that and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahahaha, Obito, why are you so stupid?"

Obito:......

Being laughed at again.

He angrily squeezed a snowball and threw it towards Yuzu, but she dodged it easily.

"Obito, please show off your shuriken-practicing momentum." Yuzuha looked at him dissatisfied with her hands on her hips, tossing the snowball up and down with one hand, "Didn't you eat?"

Snow kept falling, clinging to his goggles.

It was too much of a bother, so Obito took it off and put it aside.

While he wasn't paying attention, Yuzuye grabbed a flaw in his and threw it decisively.

The snowball hit him squarely on the leg.

"Hey!" Obito looked at her angrily, "You can't cheat."

Seeing his annoyed look, Yuye burst into laughter.

She would never admit such a thing.

She put her hand on her lips, hiding the smile on her face, and pretended to teach him seriously: "Would the enemy wait for you on the battlefield? It's the same now."

Her confident look convinced Obito.

"That's right!" Obito nodded and geared up. He picked up a ball of snow on the ground and shouted, "I'm going."

Mingshu:......

Be smart, young man, she is just cheating.

He stood aside, watching tenderly, reluctant to look away.

When they weren't paying attention, he touched the handkerchief hidden in Du's pocket, and as expected, he felt half wet and half dry.

Through the streetlight, you can clearly see a little blood stained on the fingertips.

"Brother, be careful!"

When he was lost in thought, a snowball flew to him.

Akatsuki wiped away the blood immediately. He looked up and saw Yuzu waved to him apologetically.

"Are you okay?" Yuzuha asked with a smile. She glanced at Obito and waved the blame without any sense of responsibility, "It's all Obito's fault."

"Hey!" Obito immediately shouted dissatisfied, "You obviously threw it yourself!"

"If you hadn't escaped..."

Mingshu didn't answer. He lowered his eyes silently, and the noise and play in his ears were far away from him.

Further and further away, until he saw the cherry blossoms blooming that spring day.

The girl under the flower branches was smiling brightly at him.

……

When the Chuunin Exams were held in the new year, it was when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

"Please take it."

A thin piece of paper was handed to the three students in Nakajima's class, with their slightly immature photos posted on it.

"This is your registration form." The ring on Teacher Nakajima's middle finger shone in the sun. He pointed at the registration form and said, "I have recommended you. You must work hard for this exam and don't embarrass the teacher."

"No problem." Yuzuye nodded, and from the corner of his eye, he saw his teammates casually folding the registration form in threes and stuffing it into their pockets.

Yuzuha: You guys are so casual...

After finishing these words, Nakajima Dai hesitated for a moment, then stretched out a hand towards them hopefully.

With his palms facing down, he wanted his students to fold their hands as well.

But this is certainly something that is unlikely to happen.

Yuzuha and the others looked at each other and took three steps back automatically, making a silent protest.

In this extremely embarrassing atmosphere, Nakajima Dai still persisted and did not retract his hand.

Yuye was the first to react. She pretended to be nonchalant and looked up at the sky, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't picked up my kunai yet... I'm leaving first."

"I also remembered..." Hua Ye followed Yu Ye closely, but before she could finish her words, she received a caring look from Teacher Nakajima.

His eyes seemed to speak.

Huaye&Tachibana:......

"Hurry up." Nakashimadai smiled at them, "I think everyone in the next class is like this."

From the next class?

The expressions on the two people's faces became strange.

"..." Huaye and Tachibana refused at the same time, "No."

Nakajima:……

"Hey! Let me tell you!" He retracted his hand angrily and accused: "You are so unhuman..."

"I didn't want to do such strange things in the first place." Hua Ye immediately retorted.

Nakajima looked sad and turned his attention to Tachibana.

The boy with white eyes immediately took a step back with a vigilant expression.

He always has a strange illusion——

Maybe my hair will suffer again in the next second...

Sure enough, in the next second, Nakajimayo stretched out his hand and skillfully touched the top of Tachibana's head. He rubbed it randomly, ignoring the flying daggers from Tachibana's eyes out of habit.

Sanzhi Hanaye, who was inexplicably let go, took the opportunity to escape, leaving only Tachibana's indifferent back.

She shouldn't be too familiar with selling teammates.

Tachibana was so angry that he was controlled by the devil's claws. He glared hard and pulled Nakajima's hand that caused trouble.

"How many times have I told you, please don't mess up my hair!"

"Just do it once, who told you not to..."

……

"The first test below is a written test. Here are the things to note..."

The classroom was silent except for the sound of the papers being turned.

The questions are all simple and contain common knowledge from books.

There was no difficulty at all. Yuye finished the questions quickly. She held her chin and turned her pen around in boredom.

"It's so simple, but it just doesn't make sense." She muttered, turning to look at the cherry blossoms outside the window.

Like clouds, like clouds, like a dream.

She thought of Obito again.

I don’t know if that idiot can do it. Questions of this level are simply the examiner’s fault.

If he can't even pass this test, he must be laughed at.

However, the water the examiner put in did not bring the soil.

After all, as the tail end of the crane, he was lying on the table with his eyes dazed.

No matter what question he was asked, it was like looking at the flowers through a fog, and this half of the test paper had already made him confused.

It was already half time, but the test paper in his hand was still as white as new.

Looking at the hourglass on the podium, he became increasingly panicked.

What to do, what to do, if you fail the exam, you will definitely be laughed at by Yuzuha.

Obviously it took a lot of effort to get her to have a better view of herself...

When he thought of that scene, he scratched his head in pain and wanted to knock his head on the table. He raised his head and looked at the candidates who handed in their papers one by one, feeling like crying without tears.

Suddenly, a small paper ball was quietly thrown at his feet.

Obito was a little surprised. He raised his head and saw Lin gesturing to him with a smile.

It’s a cheat sheet, saved.

Obito was stunned for a moment, then smiled gratefully at her back.

He unfolded the ball of paper and saw the answers to several questions written on it, and at the end there was a sentence——

"I'll always be watching you."

Then will she like herself a little bit?

Obito recalled Lin's smile in his mind, and was secretly happy.

The results came out quickly, and the examiner posted a ranking list in the corridor.

In an instant, people crowded the corridor.

Hua Ye poked Youye with her elbow: "Let's go see it when there are less people."

Tachibana took it for granted and nodded in agreement: "There are too many people."

But Yuye didn't listen to them. She rushed in, pushed through a few people, and stood at the front of the ranking list. The crowd behind her quickly surrounded her like water.

She stood on tiptoe and glanced at the ranking list. Unsurprisingly, she saw her own name and that of her teammates on it, but she still couldn't find Obito's name.

Did that guy fail the exam? !

Thinking like this, her eyes scanned the ranking list again, and this time, she finally saw his name among the candidates at the end.

Alternate...

The corners of her eyes twitched.

That's okay, it's better than no name at all.

At the outermost edge of the crowd, Obito and Lin stood together, trying hard to look inside.
