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

The steam from the warm new towel hit Obito's face.

Through the mist, Yu Ye's face gradually became blurry in his eyes.

Obito picked up a towel and wiped it randomly, regaining consciousness on his numb face.

The soft towels also smell like sunshine.

Warmth gathered inside the room again.

In front of her, Yuzuha was wearing a coat, leaning against the wall with her arms folded, watching Obito wipe his face.

Her eyes were bleary, and there was a hint of sleepiness in her words: "It's so early in the morning...Is there something urgent you came to see me for?"

Obito was shocked.

He tightened his hand on the towel with a slight embarrassment, feeling quite confused.

"What's wrong with you?" Youye came closer and asked with concern.

Her face suddenly enlarged in front of him made Obito take a step back slightly. His eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look at her face, "That... that..."

Yuba tilted her head: "You are so weird."

She lowered her head and looked at her clothes, and realized belatedly that she was still wearing pajamas.

Yuye:......

It seems like it’s me who’s weird?

She blushed for a moment and coughed weakly, "...I'll go change some clothes."

Obito was in a hurry: "Ah, ah, no, no, no, no -"

Yuye:?

Then are you here to entertain me so early in the morning?

Facing Yuzuha's increasingly doubtful eyes, Obito's mind was spinning crazily, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "No! What I mean is that I... want to learn some new ninjutsu from you!"

Yuba rubbed her eyes to drive away the remaining sleepiness, "...new ninjutsu?"

"Yes," Obito dropped the towel, clenched his left hand into a fist in the palm of his right hand, and replied without changing his expression: "After all, the Chuunin exam is coming soon... I want to study more, hahahaha."

"No, haven't you learned fire escape yet..."

Obito scratched his face, feeling a little frustrated, but he quickly cheered up again: "I only know a few for the time being... so I want to learn more from you!"

His little floral backdrop rose again.

Yuye narrowed her eyes because of the bright flowers behind him, and for a moment she felt that his words made sense.

After all, he worked really hard, but his talent is really hard to describe.

She touched her chin, thought for a moment, and then answered: "That's right...I agree."

Obito's eyes lit up, and in a daze he really began to think that he came to Yuzuha to learn ninjutsu.

Yu Ye looked at his hopeful eyes, and her eyes softened.

She cleared her throat, looked at Obito mischievously and said, "However, Uchiha only uses those few techniques commonly used. If you want more..."

She smiled at the bandit, "Then we have to go to that distant... cave and stone monument..."

Obito:......

A drop of cold sweat slipped from the back of Obito's head.

He automatically took two steps away from Yu Ye, with a look of disdain on his face: "Just tell me, Yu Ye."

"Actually, it's in my brother's study."

Yuzuye stopped being pretentious and waved to Obito, "Let's take a look together."

Mingshu's study is located at the very edge of the whole house. As soon as he walks in, he can see the bare cherry tree in the courtyard, with its dry branches stretching towards the vast sky.

Not big, but neat.

Yuzuha didn't deliberately pack up and go to Mingshu's study.

So everything in the room is still as it was when he was alive.

On the desk filled with pens and papers, there was still an unfinished copy of "The Tale of Bamboo" spread out. After seeing the progress of flipping through it, Obito realized that Akiki had only read half of it until his death.

All the items placed like this seemed to prove that he was only temporarily gone.

The bookshelf as tall as a person behind the desk is neatly filled with all kinds of books, from the "Ninja Manual" issued by the ninja school to fantasy novels such as Hyakki Night Talk.

Obito curiously walked over to take a look, and was very surprised to find that there were also picture books and notes from Yuzuha's childhood.

These books, which bear the traces of her childhood and adulthood, no matter what Tutu drew, were neatly put away by Mingshu on the bookshelf.

Obito pulled out a book, and the first scene that caught his eye was the two crooked stick figures she drew on the title page.

It says: "Mingshu and Yuzu..."

Probably because she was too young, she couldn't write the last word, so she could only use a few ellipses to replace it.

There has never been such a ignorant Yuzuha in his memory, and Obito immediately laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha."

Yuye:! !

Yuzuye reacted and immediately took the notebook away from his hand, grinding her teeth and ready to hit him on the head.

But looking at Obito's smiling face, she still couldn't do it. She just snorted softly: "Don't laugh at me."

Obito surrendered with both hands and covered his mouth: "Okay, okay, then I won't laugh. I'll help you find it."

Only then did Yuzu feel satisfied, "Then take a look at the books on top...wait, stand far away!"

I don’t know when the heavy snow started to fall outside the house, and the wind stopped and the trees stopped.

A few rays of warm light leaked through the gaps in the dense clouds.

The room was equally peaceful and quiet, so quiet that only their long and lingering breaths could be heard.

Obito randomly pulled out a book, but his eyes kept looking towards Yuzuha.

Yuye was wearing a pajamas loosely, her black messy hair was scattered on her shoulders, and the sunlight falling in from the window fell on her proud eyebrows.

At this moment, she was facing away from Obito, and from his condescending gaze, she could see her narrow shoulders and slender waist looming in the soft black hair.

In just a few moments, countless beautiful and beautiful thoughts passed through his mind at the speed of light, and finally turned into a gentle and regretful sigh.

"Yuzuha..." Obito suddenly murmured, breaking the silence in the room.

The girl with long black hair heard this murmur.

She turned her head, looked up at him with confusion in her clear eyes, and made a coquettish nasal sound: "...Huh?"

The heart of the usually careless young man was throbbing uncontrollably.

Obito only felt a little hot on his face.

He lowered his head casually, his eyes falling on the clean floor.

After a pause, he spoke, his tone a little lonely, "Are you... going to take part in next year's jounin exam?"

Yuye thought for a while and replied casually: "Not for the time being, I'd better wait for you."

Are you waiting for him to become... a Jonin? ! !

Obito was obviously quite shocked by this answer.

A burst of joy filled his heart, he blushed and rubbed his hands, a ray of light blooming in his wide eyes.

"That, that, that's great! I will definitely work hard on the exam! I will never let Yuzu wait for me for too long."

Yuzuha has heard too many words like this, and she has no time to listen to his rhetoric now.

She turned back and continued to search for the scroll. A slightly vague voice came from far behind the scroll: "Okay, then it's agreed... Yuzuha and Obito will become jounin together."

The words of this agreement made Obito's heart stir slightly again.

The inexplicable emotion is like a flash in the pan that blooms in the dark night, or like a jumping spark under the twilight.

For just a moment, Obito's slightly scorching eyes wandered around the room casually in a panic.

He inadvertently came across a wooden box placed at the top of the bookshelf - its existence seemed to be used to rescue him.

Just...just, it's just you!

Like a drowning person finding driftwood, Obito quickly changed the subject: "Yuzuha, this is-"

Hearing the sound, Yuzuye raised her face while holding several scrolls and looked in the direction he pointed.

The simple wooden boxes piled in the corner of the books are very inconspicuous and easy to ignore.

Yuye lowered her head. After thinking about it for a while, she answered him in a low voice: "That was the last thing my brother left for me."

Since it was Akatsuki who left it for Yuzuha, Obito was very sensible and did not ask any further questions.

He guessed that it was probably some secret scrolls or something like that?

Just before he could think of moving on to the next topic, Yuzuha had poured a large pile of ninjutsu scrolls into his arms.

There were so many scrolls in her hand that Obito couldn't catch them.

He hurriedly picked up the scroll that fell to the ground and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Slow down, Yuzuha."

"Aren't you curious about what's inside?" Youye patted the dust on his hands.

Obito grinned and scratched his head, muttering: "There's nothing to say about this..."

"It doesn't matter if I tell you." Yu Ye turned a deaf ear to his words.

She stood up on tiptoes and took down the wooden box and placed it in front of him, muttering: "...It should be fine."

Obito blinked curiously, "What is that?"

Yuzuha leaned close to Obito's ear and said in a voice that could be heard between the two of them: "This is... the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Ah?! This, this, this...could it be..."

Obito's eyes widened and he looked at the wooden box in Yuzuha's hand in surprise.

After being stunned for a second, he came back to his senses and looked around, urging in a low voice: "Then why do you put it here... put it away quickly, Yuzuye."

Yuzuha laughed: "Why are you so nervous, Obito."

"But……"

"Do you know about Subichi Ergami and Uhichi Ergami?"

Obito shook his head in confusion.

Yuzu gently placed her fingertips on her left eye and raised the corners of her mouth: "Just like these two gods, the eye skills in my brother's and my eyes can only be used by the two of us."

As a younger sister, her left eye contains Subi Tomoru.

With a "click" sound, the wooden box was gently opened, and the dim and dull Mangekyō Sharingan floated quietly in the glass bottle.

As the older brother, Akiki, his left eye carries Ubichi's ability.

……

The spring of Konoha's 46th year came belatedly.

Lush cherry blossoms are blooming all over the streets and alleys of Konoha Hidden Village again, and the long streets are covered with petals.

The warm and long wind carried a little bit of water vapor and wetted the lush broad leaves on the branches and the driest stones in winter.

Another year's Chuunin Selection Examination and Jonin Assessment have arrived as scheduled.

Yuzuha still remembers the promise she casually made last winter.

So she secretly threw away the registration form given to her by Nakajima, and successfully missed the registration time for the Jonin examination.

The price for doing so was to face a torrent of criticism from Mr. Nakajima.

At this moment, Nakashimayo finally realized the paranoia and willfulness of the Uchiha clan.

He felt that if he lived a few years shorter in the future, Yuzuha and that brat at home would bear half of the responsibility.

Thinking of this, Teacher Nakajima coughed and stared at Yuye quite seriously.

Yuye crossed her arms and didn't look at him with a cold face.

Nakajima Dai took out a crumpled registration form from his pocket and laughed angrily: "...I heard that you threw this away?"

Youye glanced at it, and then said coolly: "Well, what's wrong?"

Nakashimayo's brows jumped sharply.

"But, you obviously can..." He lowered his voice dissatisfied.

Yuzu frowned and retorted confidently: "But, isn't it up to me to make the decision?"

Nakajima Dai:......

Is this a true portrayal of a child growing up and having his wings hardened?

Nakashimadai felt quite headache.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw stubbornness and dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

In the end, Teacher Nakajima decided to admit defeat: "If you don't want to go, then I won't go."

Yu Ye's complexion improved slightly.

However, Nakajima Dai did not intend to let her go so easily.

He crossed his arms and snorted coldly: "Then let's each take a step back. I haven't seen you all winter. I guess your swordsmanship must have deteriorated, right?"

Yuye:......

She opened her eyes wide and looked at her teacher in disbelief: "What are you talking about? I'm obviously here..."

The words were interrupted when Nakashimayo rubbed his hair, and Yuzuha finally experienced Tachibana's pain.

Because this teacher who likes to rub the hair of his subordinates is now smiling like a village bully.

At this moment, the bully said in a longer tone: "I don't care - you will inherit the sword skills of my Nakajima family."

Yuzuha slapped Nakajima's rebellious hand away hard.

She smiled and spread her hand towards Nakajima Dai, stabbing the knife calmly: "...Teacher, is your swordsmanship as good as the Gekko family's?"

The Konoha-style swordsmanship of the Moonlight Clan is top-notch in the Land of Fire, and Teacher Nakajima certainly cannot compare with it.

Nakajima Dai was so angry with her that he grinded his back molars. He bent his fingers and tapped the top of Yuzu Ye's head. "Hurry up and clean it up for me. Let's go out immediately!"

Yuzuha hissed and covered his forehead, "Teacher...but the Chuunin exams are not over yet."

"Ah? It's none of your business... I knew you were really thinking about that brat!" Halfway through his words, Nakajima suddenly had an idea and suddenly realized what he was saying.

People were coming and going on the street. When they heard Nakashimadai's shouting, they all cast strange looks at where they were standing.

Yuye: "..."

A cross jumped on her forehead.

After realizing the awkward atmosphere surrounding him, Nakajimayo touched the back of his head and let out a few dry laughs.

He raised his arm and glanced at the watch on his wrist - there was still one day left until the end of the chunin exams.

After a while, Nakajimayo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and teased his subordinates happily: "It turns out that the Chuunin exams are almost over, so let's start again tomorrow."
