Return from mission

It was approaching night at this time, the sun had already set, but the sky had not completely darkened. Instead, it was changing color little by little, and the surrounding scenery also changed with the day. There are countless stardust scattered in the sky, and there are countless glimmering fireflies flying on the ground. They walk with the direction of the wind, and the cool feeling follows them. There were rustling sounds in the grass and trees I walked through, crickets were chirping in the forest, and the sound of the flowing stream was like a ring of ringing rings, extremely clear.

A group of people from Class 7 crossed the creek. During this period, the snow friend kept holding the hem of his long sleeves with his hands, and layers of water splashed up where his legs swayed.

The snow friend looked up at the fireflies dancing all over the mountains and plains.

Unlike the lights she had seen, they were specks of stars. The flowing light is as tiny as the stars in the sky when viewed from land. It flickers on and off. You want to catch it but it is out of reach.

When he reached the rocky area and lost his balance, the boy in blue in front of him suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand towards him.

The mountain breeze came from the distance, and the sound of laughter resounded in the front.

Under such a situation, all the uneasiness in her heart about her wavering belief in her future disappeared.

She wanted to hold the boy's hand happily, but the scene in front of her suddenly twisted and turned black when she was about to take his hand.

She was horrified by the mistake and fell into the abyss while screaming.

——

Awakened by a nightmare, her shoulder-length hair was turned into a chicken coop.

Xueyou sat up from the bed and rubbed his head.

"Eh……"

His voice had the hoarse tone of when he just woke up, and also had a bit of confusion.

what time is it

She picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table. When she saw the clear time, she was so shocked that she couldn't recall the plot in her dream. She put the alarm clock down and ran to get dressed immediately.

"Ah ah ah it's late!"

——

Outside Konoha Village

Quan Yufeng sat on a tall and thick wooden stake, looking at his snow friends running panting from a distance, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Walking on the green green, the sound of rapid footsteps and breathing is mixed with the unique calls of birds in the forest. Opposite me, she looked at this situation calmly and pointed at the alarm clock in her hand.

"You're five minutes late. It's already eight-and-a-half."

"Yes, I'm sorry..." I realized that I was too lazy to go to bed. After getting dressed at home, my snow friend came over in a hurry. As a result, I was out of breath and couldn't speak coherently.

Although she was a ninja, her throat felt like it had been shot open by a gun, and smoke was coming out.

She didn't even eat breakfast.

"Add thirty shurikens." There was no emotion in her whispering voice.

"what?"

"Punishment for being late."

"really……"

Again.

Xueyou lowered his head seemingly resigned to his fate, but he was still reluctant in his heart - what's the use even if he is reluctant? She took out the shuriken from her leggings and threw it at the prepared wooden stake.

Quan Yufeng was watching from the side. She didn't even move, she just looked. Her beautiful face was as calm as water, her expression was calm, her eyes were shimmering like waves illuminated by the light particles falling from the gaps in the forest, and the wrinkles on her forehead were A few strands of broken hair were moving in the wind, and it seemed that he was so close yet so inaccessible.

For a moment, it seemed to overlap with the gentle face in the dream.

how is this possible……

The dazed Xueyou shook his head.

She knew that the difference between her dream and reality was the cold temperament that came from within, like nine cold days, cutting off all warmth.

Xueyou didn't know what the girl with the waist-high ponytail in front of her had experienced. At least in the past few years since she traveled through time, she had never seen Izumi Yufeng have any experiences that made her feel discouraged.

Anyway, she has never seen it.

Maybe she was born so cold.

As the time they spend together grows, her personality becomes more and more unstable from the calm at the beginning, and her attitude towards others becomes cold and frosty.

I don’t know whether it’s because he’s getting more and more irritable with his age and the accumulation of ANBU missions, or because he’s slowly revealed his true nature in front of me after getting to know him better.

Maybe both.

In the increasingly sultry weather, the sun slanting in the sky rose unknowingly to the top of the head during practice.

Depressed.

Xueyou felt depressed and impatiently threw out the last few of the thirty additional shurikens. Listening to the jingling of the shurikens after they were nailed to the wooden stakes, she always felt that this boring training would continue. Keep going.

Just like her life under the control of others, it seems to be far away.

After noon.

After sitting on the grass in the forest and having lunch with Yutaka Izumi, she rarely said anything to her snow friend that had nothing to do with the mission.

There was still some seriousness in the casual chat, but Xueyou felt as if he had returned to the years when he first met her.

"Did you encounter anything when you went out?"

"The place where we went on our mission is very poor, the Country of Waves, you know?"

Quan Yufeng nodded when he heard this, "I still know a little bit about Cardo's territory."

"We met Zabuza, one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist Ninja. He also brought a follower named Shiro. Shiro looks like a beautiful woman, but unfortunately, he is a boy."

"Was the situation very dangerous?"

After hearing this, Yukiyou nodded heavily and said, "Kakashi-sensei was seriously injured and had to recover for a week, while Sasuke almost died."

"Almost died?" After hearing what he was interested in, Quan Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, he was trying to protect Naruto...and..." Yukiyu stuttered as he described, hesitating whether to continue speaking.

"'He'?" Quan Yufeng asked after seeing this.

"And me."

Xueyou lowered his head, unconsciously twisting the tail of his clothes with both hands, very hard, and his expression suddenly became very depressed, "I almost thought I had killed someone."

"is it?"

A playful voice burst out from the mouth of the girl in front of her. Xueyou looked up, and she saw the darkness in Quan Yufeng's originally clear eyes. She didn't know what her current mood was.

In fact, Izumi Yufeng disdains this kind of thing, not to mention that when she sees the people of that clan living well, she will hate them to the core, and she is naturally disgusted to the extreme.

In other words, the worse the life of the Uchiha clan was, the happier she was.

The heat wave flowing in the air at noon seemed to be stagnant, and the chirping of insects in the trees was particularly harsh.

She is now Yuchiha Yuki's teacher.

How ironic.

Realizing that the snow friend in front of her had been staring at her for a long time, and fearing for a chance, Izumi Yufeng withdrew the malice deep in his heart, and said to her: "Then did you use the medical ninjutsu you learned from me to save him? ?”

Did we still talk about the mission in the end...? Xueyou felt a little disappointed. He considered the issue seriously and noticed something was wrong. After a subtle pause for nearly a second, he said decisively: "I didn't."

"why?"

She said sternly: "The task given to me by the ANBU is just to monitor Uchiha Sasuke. As for any of his actions... it has nothing to do with me."

Quan Yufeng nodded, "It seems you still remember."

Yukiyo, who correctly guessed the meaning of the sentence, could only smile bitterly and said: "How could I not remember the ANBU rules?"

Everything comes first. Her mission is to monitor Uchiha Sasuke. It is simple to say, because it is just monitoring.

Because it is just monitoring, there is no need for protection. Even if the target dies, it is just a status report.

What's more, now that she is assigned to the seventh class, if there are not too many instructions, then what she has to do is very simple, just watch coldly.

Pure ninjas are not doctors who save lives and heal the wounded. Ninjas are tools for killing people. In essence, they are no different from ANBU, but one is in the light and the other is in the dark.

This sentence was what Yutaka Izumi warned her when she was learning medical ninjutsu.

One is upright and the other is arrogant.

Yukiyo is not a real ninja, she does not have the decisiveness of a ninja to kill. Because her essence is just a young woman in the 21st century, someone who is still studying. She is an ordinary high school student who is usually indecisive, timid and cowardly, so when it comes to the fundamentals of ninjas, she cannot understand them very well. The theories of life and death are too deep for her to understand at all.

Just like in times of peace and turmoil, people's perceptions are different.

In a peaceful society, the death of a loved one means separation between life and death; in a turbulent society, surviving in this world is the wish of this life.

So what does this seemingly peaceful but actually turbulent world look like?

She once thought that Naibu was so advanced that it would be better to take a nap if she had any free time.

Xueyou opened her mouth. She still wanted to talk to the girl in front of her, so she just said something else, even if it was like a running account, it was just daily, just insignificant words.

Just like before, the two of them are like family and sisters.

She was trying to retrieve the words in her mind when the girl opposite spoke again.

She was overjoyed, but the next second she was extremely disappointed.

Only then did Xueyou realize that although they didn't know what caused the estrangement in their relationship, the gap that had been caused would only get bigger no matter how they were repaired.

Izumi Yufeng ignored the emotions he had seen in his eyes and simply said:

"My lord has assigned you a new teacher to teach you genjutsu. Just like I only teach you ninjutsu and taijutsu, that person also only teaches you genjutsu and swordsmanship."

"You also taught me medical ninjutsu." Yukiyo added.

"That kind of insignificant ninjutsu is nothing." Izumi Yutaka moved his gaze away from Yukito and spoke in a cold tone.

Xueyou was speechless, she understood. No matter what you say now, it will not help the girl in front of you, because she is no longer what she used to be.

"That person is coming soon." Quan Yufeng looked into the depths of the forest and waited quietly.

"Who?"

"Your illusion teacher, Morihamu."
