The spring of Konoha's 42nd year.

The cherry blossoms planted on the street are already in bloom, clustered on the branches. When the wind blows, the petals are lifted like snow, and the fallen flowers are colorful and cover the ground.

Today is the school's graduation ceremony.

After today, Yuzuha has become a ninja who can stand alone.

"Okay," Mingshu helped her straighten the folds of her collar, patted her back again, and said with a smile, "Little Youye is also very energetic today!"

"Then I'm leaving." Youye showed a childish smile and reached out to open the door.

The cherry blossom trees outside the courtyard are in full bloom.

"Be careful on the road." Mingshu watched Yu Ye go away and couldn't help but warn him. The spring breeze in the early morning was still a bit cold, and as soon as he inhaled it, the itching began to travel in his internal organs.

He coughed a few times, but the itching in his throat could not be relieved. The food he had eaten in the morning was now turning upside down in his stomach.

Mingshu covered his mouth and tried hard to suppress the desire to cough. He glanced at the already deserted alley and closed the door extremely calmly.

Accompanied by bouts of coughing, there are also faint red threads.

He only glanced at it and then burned the veil expressionlessly.

……

"Graduation certificate, Uchiha Yuba, this is to certify that the student graduated from the Konoha Ninja Village Ninja School..."

The teacher solemnly placed the graduation certificate and the Konoha forehead protector that represented the ninja into Yuzuha's hands, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, I hope you can become an outstanding ninja in the future."

All graduating students received similar blessings from their teachers.

Except for one person.

Yuzu stood in the crowd, tiptoed and glanced around, but did not see Obito.

It turns out that loving being late is true!

Just as Yuzu was debating whether to wait for him or not, the chatter of several boys could be heard in her ears.

"It seems that guy was blocked by an old man passing by again, hahahahaha..."

"Yes, yes, I heard that this guy even missed the opening ceremony."

"I really can't find anyone else."

A cross popped up on Yuzuha's forehead, and she clenched her fist.

The boys burst into laughter, and one of them continued: "I don't believe that he is from the Uchiha clan. Has the Uchiha clan become so rotten? Hahahaha, it's really unbelievable..."

Before he finished speaking, a kunai was nailed to the desk in front of the student with a "whoosh" sound. Several children were so frightened that they said "ahhhhh", and the boy who spoke was so frightened that he almost jumped.

After the commotion, they suddenly had no other weapons, and they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment of silence, they finally remembered to find the culprit.

"Who is it!" The person who spoke looked around fiercely, and unexpectedly saw Yu Ye standing not far away, looking at him coldly, turning another sharp kunai between his fingers, as if to It looks like it can be thrown at any time.

"Uchiha..." he murmured, shrinking his neck.

Only then did he belatedly remember that another Uchiha in this class had quite excellent grades. From the looks of it, she must have heard their entire conversation.

Just when the big boy was about to give up, he took a slight step back, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the teasing laughter of his companions who lowered their heads.

The girl standing not far away was thin and short. Except for her intimidating eyes, there was nothing else that could compare to him. The big man thought that she was the one who provoked him first and made him so embarrassed.

A surge of anger welled up in his heart. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Yu Ye with an unkind expression.

"Brother Bang Yan, come on!"

"Don't embarrass us!"

The boys behind him kept making noises, and Kunihiko walked up to Yuzuha, raised his fist and slammed it into her face.

The punch missed, Yuzu squatted down quickly, bent her legs and swept his lower end, using all her strength.

Kuniyan was unsteady on his feet, and his body staggered and fell backwards. Just when he was about to fall, two hands supported him quickly and steadily.

He is one of the teachers who presided over the ceremony.

Bang Yan steadied himself, glared at her with an embarrassed expression, turned around decisively and wanted to leave.

It's so embarrassing not being able to beat a girl.

But the teacher reached out to hold him. He looked at the two children who were fighting indifferently. The glasses on the bridge of his nose flashed a ruthless light: "Today is the day of the graduation ceremony. You can't fight. You two Come to my office."

Yuye:......

Kunihiko:......

The two looked at the teacher with great hesitation.

"Huh?" The teacher pushed up his glasses and said gently: "Do you have any dissatisfaction? Do you want your parents to come over?"

"No!" x2

"Then hurry up and follow!"

Before leaving, Youye magically turned her head again, her eyes quickly passing through the crowd, but she still didn't see the figure at the end of the crane.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

If you don’t come back, you really won’t be able to graduate!

……

Inside the office.

"Okay," the teacher clapped his hands and put their hands together, "We are all classmates, so we should help each other and be friendly, right?"

"Yes..." Bang Yan's expression looked like he had eaten a fly.

The teacher smiled with satisfaction and turned to look at Yuzuye again.

"Yes." Youye's face was expressionless and her eyes were empty, like an old monk in meditation.

The teacher felt that his merits were complete and finally let go of the two people who disliked each other.

The two men breathed a long sigh of relief after being freed.

As soon as she went out, Yuye let out a cold "hum" and rubbed her hands hard at the hem of her clothes in front of Kunihiko.

Bang Yan: "..."

Bang Yan: Don’t go too far!

Bang Yan glared at her fiercely, imitating her actions and rubbing his hands with the hem of his clothes, making a breathy sound from his nose.

Yuzuha was too lazy to be acquainted with him, so she turned around and left, not caring about what the teacher said. She had no sense of friendship with her classmates, and she had no interest in helping each other, let alone apologizing to this guy.

She would never forgive this person for insulting Uchiha.

By the time she returned to the classroom, the short graduation ceremony was over, and a teacher had already begun to read the names of the classes.

She randomly found a seat and sat down. Probably because she got up too early today, sleepiness quickly took over her brain. Yuzu held her chin in her hands and yawned continuously.

Not far away, the teacher's voice slowly became indistinct, as if separated by a thin layer of mist, making it difficult to hear clearly.

He reported one name after another, and when it reached Yu Ye's ears, he was in a trance, as if he were admiring flowers through the mist.

Until Yuye heard the three most familiar names unexpectedly.

"The next group is Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi Hatake."

Yuye:......

At this time, Yuzuha's drowsiness was all dispelled, and she took a breath of cold air.

What a... What a wicked grouping!

Yuzuye seriously suspected that the teachers in the group had overheard the conversation between them!

She widened her eyes, wanting to see what Obito's reaction would be, and then she was extremely disappointed to find that he didn't come at all.

The forehead protector that belonged to him was still sitting alone on the teacher's desk.

He didn't show up until the graduation ceremony was over.

The fellow students around him began to disperse in groups of twos and threes, discussing team formation or longing for the future.

Yuzuha wanted to stay a little longer for some reason. She lay on the desk, fiddling with the forehead protector in one hand boredly. Her fingertips gently traced the Konoha logo engraved on the metal. The winding ravine is exactly the same as the one my brother hid at the bottom of the box.

I don’t know what my brother... is doing at home right now.

"What are you thinking about?" At this moment, Ming Shu's voice sounded in his ears.

Hearing his brother's voice unexpectedly, Yuzu looked up suddenly, and happened to meet Mingshu's smiling black eyes.

Thick sweat broke out on his forehead, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"elder brother……"

Yuye opened her eyes slightly. After feeling dazed, she stood up in a panic and tried to help him. She kept yelling: "Why are you here? Why don't you stay at home? If you fall on the road, there will be no one." Help you."

"It's okay," Mingshu touched her head and said calmly, "I want to pick you up."

He paused and then said: "My father and mother also came to pick me up like this, so I think..."

As if recalling beautiful things, he smiled even more.

Yuye lowered her head, she remained silent, her fingers gently stirred the hem of her clothes, causing many wrinkles.

"And along the way, I saw the beautiful cherry blossoms in Konoha, so I couldn't help but stay a little longer." Akiki said slowly, "I didn't expect Yuzuha was still in the classroom."

Hearing this, Yu Ye couldn't help but glare at him, with stars in her eyes.

After a long time, she softened her tone and said, "Okay, I can't do this again next time."

"I know." Mingshu took her hand, "Then let's go home now."

Yuye hesitated for a moment, looking across the empty classroom, and finally nodded.

……

On both sides of the street, crimson cherry blossoms bloomed wildly, and the warm sunshine shone down.

As Mingshu said, they are clustered together, crowded together, and blooming in full bloom.

Yuye stood under the flower branches at the corner and let Mingshu tie her forehead protector on. The cold metal touch made her feel very uncomfortable.

Yuzu couldn't help but wanted to fiddle with it with her hands, but Mingshu grabbed her. He stood behind her and said, "Don't move, it's almost done."

"I'm really not used to it," she blinked, watching the cherry blossoms falling slowly, "I didn't expect to graduate in the blink of an eye."

Ming Shu's voice came from behind, "This means you have grown up."

Yuzu wanted to say something, but she heard a rush of footsteps coming from the street next door, accompanied by anxious shouts.

"Oops oop oop!"

"Today is the day of the graduation ceremony. You must not be late."

The familiar voice was mixed with panting, and you knew who it was without looking up.

Obito just wanted to catch up with the graduation ceremony, and didn't even notice Yuzuha standing at the corner looking at him. He hurried over, causing a small gust of wind to stir up the fallen flowers.

Yuye stood not far away and saw that the tail end of the crane accidentally tripped over a stone because he was running too fast and fell to the ground. He slid to the feet of the brown-haired girl. She was crossing her arms with an unbelievable look on her face. He looked at the late boy.

"It's unbelievable... both the opening ceremony and the graduation ceremony were late, and the graduation ceremony is over," Lin said with a smile. She bent down and took Obito's hand, "Okay, come with me..."

Yuzu stood there, watching their interaction silently.

Looking from the back, Obito was doing his habitual scratching of his head, with a shy expression on his face. Soon, he followed Lin towards the school gate step by step.

The door opened and closed, completely cutting off Yuzuye's sight.

Everything returned to calm, as if everything just now was just Yu Ye's illusion.

She looked at the red door through the petals, unable to understand her mood at the moment.

She suddenly felt that she was not so keen on making do with the two of them.

Forget it...

Yuye curled up her hands in her sleeves. She was silent for a while, then she grabbed her brother who was admiring the flowers alone and walked home.

"Go home?" Ming Shu was in a good mood and said in a pleasant tone.

He glanced at his sister's somewhat cold face, pointed in the direction of the school, and asked, "Do you want to wait for him?"

"No wait," Yuzuye looked straight ahead and responded indifferently: "I'm going back to practice."

As if to cover up her irritability, Yuzuha explained, "The group has a meeting in the afternoon, so we'd better go back quickly."

"Okay, who are Yuzuha's teammates?" Mingshu asked.

"They are the children of the Hinata family and the Saeda family." Yuzuha answered.

"Don't say that, you are still a child."

……

Yuzuha's teammates, one is named Hinata Tachibana and the other is named Saegusa Hanaya.

The boy named Hyuga Tachibana was wearing white long sleeves and a bandage on his forehead. He had a pair of white eyes open and an indifferent look on his face that was very similar to Yuzuha.

At first glance, Sanzhi Hanaye has nothing outstanding except for her appearance. She is simply a petite and cute girl. She is one year older than both of them. Her cold voice is in great contrast with her cute appearance.

The afternoon sun brought some warmth, making people drowsy, and unknown birds fluttered past in the distance, bringing with them the sound of the wind.

After the three of them greeted each other, they stood in a tacit understanding and waited for the instructor to arrive.

Yuye blocked the sun with her hands. She leaned against the wooden post and stared at a corner, gradually becoming lost in thought.

Fortunately, after a while, their instructor appeared at the gate.

"I'm sorry, I was late after taking care of the things at hand. We didn't wait long." The brown-haired Shinobu Nakajima hurried to the gathering place, hoping that the newcomer could say words of forgiveness for him.

However, what greeted him was not the adoring eyes of the newlyweds, nor the joyful welcome, but three expressionless and indifferent faces.

Even the eyes are almost similar.

Nakajima Dai:......

A black thread hung on the back of his head.
