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

Heavy rain fell from the sky, washing away any blood stains remaining in the gully.

When Nakashimadai and Saegashira arrived in a hurry, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.

Weapons were scattered everywhere, and the traces of fighting were clearly visible.

The bloody flames soaring into the sky spread into a circle and remained unquenched for a long time in the torrential rain.

The surrounded Mist ninjas were wailing all over the place, even Nakajima Dai, who was used to seeing killings, found it shocking.

Although there was a blazing fire, Nakashimadai and the others could not feel the heat wave at all. On the contrary, the closer they got, the colder they became.

It was like fire from hell mercilessly devouring life.

What's even more frightening is that the tongues of fire seem to be sensing something and are constantly rushing toward him.

Nakajima Dai took a few steps back. He covered his injured arm and looked around for his subordinates.

Seeing this strange flame for the first time made him feel even more uneasy, and his whole heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst through his chest.

Will Yuzuha and Tachibana...

He didn't dare to think about it any further, he just felt like there was a string in his heart that was about to break.

"Teacher!" Hua Ye's shrill voice suddenly came from the other end.

At this moment, the thin string in Nakashimadai's heart finally broke.

His crazy and intense uneasiness suddenly reached its peak after meeting Yuzuha and Tachibana——

The girl covered in blood knelt down in the pool of blood, her little sobs constantly overflowing, while the young man lying in the pool of blood had his eyes stained with blood, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

When she heard the footsteps, she straightened up, raised her face tremblingly, and met Nakajima Dai's eyes.

The firelight illuminated Yu Ye's face, and the bloodstains snaking down from the eye sockets were frightening.

The pair of sharingan eyes with complex patterns were full of hatred and confusion, which made Nakajima Dai's brows furrowed.

The fear that arose in his heart stopped him in his tracks.

But in the blink of an eye, the black patterns in her eyes quickly faded and turned into pitch black eyes again.

The inextinguishable flames dissipated, revealing a pile of Kirigakure's charred corpses.

The Sharingan took away too much of her energy, and Yuzuha's whole body began to shake.

Nakashimayo woke up from his fear, and he quickly supported her body, only to find that her arms had been broken off.

This is not the cruelest thing.

The boy lying on the ground had his most proud eyes gouged out by the enemy.

What have they been through?

Nakashimayo's heart twitched, and he cursed his plan in his heart.

Huaye was already crying and took Tachibana's hand, and she tremblingly propped up his body.

With just such a movement, she could clearly feel that his life force was rapidly passing away.

"Tachibana too, Tachibana too..."

The girl shouted his name in a panic, tears falling down.

She pressed her warm face against the boy's cold face and murmured: "Don't be afraid, the teacher and I are here. You are fine..."

Warm tears flowed down Tachibana's bloody face.

He felt it and moved his body with all his strength.

Nakajima Dai also took the boy's hand and put his wounded hand on his face, "Tachibana, do you feel it? We are all here."

The boy from the Hinata family endured the severe pain and showed the last smile of his life, "Teacher..."

"I miss...father..."

He suddenly moved, with a nostalgic look on his face, and his voice became softer and softer: "I really want to... talk to the teacher..."

"With you..."

I really want to have another barbecue contest with the teacher.

I really want to have another shuriken competition with you.

I really don’t want to die...

The curse mark of the caged bird on his forehead slowly faded away.

This usually proud and shy young man finally became silent.

"Tachibana!" Hua Ye suddenly tightened her arms. She hugged the boy tightly and cried out, "If only, if only I were a medical ninja..."

Nakajima Daiya held his hand and refused to let go.

He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, letting tears flow silently down his face.

Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and he said incoherently: "Teacher... I will take you back to see your father now, okay?"

Those days of walking together in the past will never happen again from now on.

This is Nakajimayo's first time as a teacher, and he feels it will be his last.

The time became longer, as if it took time for a tree to bloom, and the rain finally subsided.

"Teacher... and Ka Ye..." Yuye's hoarse voice sounded.

The cold rain restored her clarity for a moment.

After covering her eyes and panting for a moment, she calmly interrupted them, "You can cry later, Tachibana's eyes are still in that person's hands."

"I have to get it back," she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and looked at her arm: "Teacher, please."

Nakajima Dai came over and said, "I'll go."

Yu Ye shook her head.

She insisted on getting it back by herself, but there was nothing Nakajima Dai could do about it.

He squeezed Yu Ye's broken arm and used force in his hands: "I can only help you deal with it casually. I will have to do it again after I return to the village..."

The familiar pain struck again, and Yuzu bit her blood-stained lips again, groaning.

Things in front of me blurred and then became clear again.

"Yeah, I know." Yuye blinked and said nonchalantly.

She stared straight at the pile of corpses, with a stormy calmness on her face.

Most of the pile of corpses were burned beyond recognition, but even if that person's face turned into ashes, Yuzuha would never forget it.

She turned over the pile of corpses with a cold face, not even afraid of Kirigakure's piercing eyes.

Soon, she found the person just now.

There was infinite fear and confusion in his eyes, as if he was afraid but also thinking about why the situation suddenly reversed.

Now he may never understand the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan——

Yuzuha's right eye's "Fire Surprise" ability caused his team to lose their ability to fight in an instant.

He was still holding the pair of white eyes tightly in his hands.

Yu Ye lowered her eyes, stared at his expression, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

After a moment, she took the eyes back from his hand.

She placed them carefully, and then without thinking, she pulled out a sharp blade from the hand of the mist ninja next to her and slashed hard at his eyes.

Even if he died, she would still make this man pay the price he deserved.

However, at this moment, the Kirigakure ninja who should have died suddenly suddenly raised his body, and his desire to survive made him move much faster than Yuzuha.

His fingers flew up and down, quickly forming a strange seal, and in the blink of an eye, he hit Yu Ye's shoulder hard.

Yuzuha didn't have time to resist, she didn't have much strength to avoid, let alone Tachibana's eyes.

If this Kirigakure wants to attack her, she has no ability to resist now.

Yuzu secretly thought to herself that it was bad, and could only watch the hands reaching towards her.

Fortunately, this mist ninja just wanted to escape now and did not attack Yuzuha again.

Even though he was seriously injured, the Kiri Ninja was still strong enough to push Yuzuha to the ground.

Taking advantage of the gap when she fell, the seriously injured Kirigakure ninja immediately turned into a puddle of water and ran away.

Yuye:......

Maybe he just hit himself to escape quickly?

This episode happened so suddenly that people were caught off guard.

Seeing Kirigakure escaping, Nakashimayo suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly rushed over to check Yuzuha's body.

Fortunately, she was not injured again.

He felt slightly relieved and could no longer complain about Yu Ye's impulsiveness.

Thinking like this, he sighed again, feeling that he would definitely not be able to bear the pain of losing his second disciple.

The mission that Tachibana has been thinking about so much has actually been completed by Nakashimayo.

The map found on another team of Kirigakure ANBU made him have some doubts, so he and Ka Ye hurried back and saw the heart-stopping scene in the morning.

After returning to the camp where he was stationed, Nakajima Dai handed the bloody map to the headquarters and returned to Yuzuha.

The girl leaned against the wall, eyes wide open.

After she got those eyes back, all her strength and calmness faded away like a tide, and the pain and suffocation caused by the death of her companions enveloped her heart again.

After experiencing this time, Yuzuha finally understood the pain Mingshu had suffered.

Hua Ye stayed by her side.

She kept patting her back, trying to ease Yuzu's bad mood.

Nakashimayo pursed his lips. In fact, he was not good at comforting people, especially girls.

Just like this situation, he didn't know what to say.

He looked at his two subordinates and mumbled several times, but not a single word came out.

Finally, he gave up and covered his bleeding arm, and said to the busy medical ninja on the side: "Save Yuba first, she is more seriously injured."

The medical ninja whose train of thought was interrupted glared at him angrily.

She turned around, condensed green chakra in her hands, examined his body carefully, and said angrily: "Do you think you are lightly injured?"

Nakajima Dai:......

Anyway, he is still alive and his injuries will eventually heal.

He wasn't worried at all.

He smiled nonchalantly, and just as he was about to make a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere, he heard a voice coming from outside the camp, "Is Teacher Nakajima here? I have a letter from your class."

Nakashimadai was stunned for a moment, and the questioning voice came to his ears again.

After being urged, he walked out, and the little ninja outside the camp handed a stack of letter paper into his hand with a smile.

"Thank you."

"you are welcome."

The letter on the top was written by Liuhua to herself.

Nakashimadai raised the corner of his mouth and secretly stuffed the flowered letter into his jacket pocket.

He decided to go back and take a look.

The second letter was written to Yuzuha.

It was a thick stack, and there were still two hard blocks that were signed by Uchiha Obito.

He walked up to the lost girl and handed her the envelope with a fan pattern printed on it, "Here, it was written for you by that boy Obito."

The girl's unruffled face finally had a strange look at this moment.

She took the letter hesitantly and whispered to him: "Thank you."

The third letter is from Huaye.

The crooked handwriting on the envelope looked like it was written by her brother.

No, it's more like a ghost drawing, and Nakajimayo can't even understand it anyway.

The fourth letter was sent by Tachibana's father.

Nakajima Dai hesitated for a moment while holding it in his hand, not knowing whether to unfold it or not.

Mr. Hyuga Goshin probably doesn’t know about Tachibana’s sacrifice yet.

"Teacher, please read it to Tachibana," Hua Ye's voice, which had regained its calmness, became choked again, "...he should be invisible."

At this moment Yuzuha had put those eyes into his hands.

Touching the bottle in his pocket, Nakajima's nose felt sour and he almost shed tears again.

"Okay then, I'll read it to him."

He opened the letter as instructed and was surprised to find that there were only a few words written on it.

But even if there are only a few sentences, Nakajima Dai reads it very slowly.

Because he was afraid that Tachibana could not hear clearly.

"...Tachibana, how are you these days?"

"A new barbecue restaurant opened in Konoha recently. My old friend took me to try it and I thought it tasted pretty good. When you get home, come with me. By the way, the cherry blossoms in Konoha are in full bloom. Brilliant, and I wish you the best of health.”

……

This is the sixth letter Yuzuha has received from Obito.

After this idiot was scolded by the ninja who delivered the letter for writing too many letters at first, he was extremely aggrieved and changed his letter to one letter a month.

From then on it was unbeatable.

Yuye unfolded the letter familiarly, looked at the familiar handwriting, and finally showed a long-lost smile.

The beginning is still about his long-winded daily life, such as being laughed at by Kakashi, being praised by Minato-sensei today, helping a few old ladies, etc.

The words crowded in the middle expressed his frustration and sadness of not passing the Chuunin exam this year.

Finally, he wrote that he would pick her up at the entrance of the village when she came back.

Even on these trivial matters, he could write eloquently for several pages.

No wonder there is a thick pile when you touch it.

Youye burst out laughing, and the sudden longing was like a growing vine, almost filling her heart.

I really miss it, I want to see this crane tail soon.

She picked up the envelope and poured out two strawberry-flavored candy bars and a small note.

"It's the candy from Nobuko's grandma's house. It's not too sweet!"

……

In the late spring of Konoha 45, the day for Class Nakajima to leave finally arrived.

After completing the handover work with the instructor Jonin who came to replace their class, Nakajima Dai took his two subordinates and set off on the journey.

Tachibana's body could not be taken away due to special reasons.

But Nakashimadai had promised to take him home.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to use a small porcelain bottle to contain his ashes.

This can be considered as going home.

The three people walked and stopped along the way, and finally stood in front of the gate of Konoha again when the cherry blossoms were withering.
