[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

why--

The words on the door plaque are so well written?

The simple and upright fonts are in line with what she has learned.

Although it had been several years since she had held a pen seriously, she was certain that this was the only thing she had ever studied seriously... She couldn't be wrong.

There is no incense burning in the small bamboo house. It is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the fragrance of peach blossoms can still be caught on the tip of the nose.

In a country surrounded by ice and snow, there is still such a peach forest.The red and white peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the feeling of vitality makes the wind, snow and frost falling across the wall and thousands of miles of ice become an illusion.

Different from such a vibrant peach forest, the beating of life under the fingertips is very slow and weak.She touched it for a bit too long, but even so, she didn't know what to say when she put her hand away.

"What's wrong, am I in a bad situation?" Unlike the sharp one he saw that day, the old man in the shabby room put away all his momentum.

If she hadn't met him twice, she would have thought...that this gentleman was actually so amiable.

"Little girl, I wish you could tell me the truth."

"The depression in my heart has been unresolved all year round. My lord, I'm afraid you also know that heart diseases require heart medicine." Moreover, it has been too long, and she has been unable to do anything.

After hearing this, the old man just closed his eyes and let out a long "Yes."

"Although the situation is not optimistic, I think there are experts who are protecting your life, so you don't have to worry too much." Normally, this adult should have left Hexi a year ago.But he didn't. It seemed that someone was... rather than relieving the condition, it was better to say--

"No matter how much time is frozen, those who want to leave will eventually leave." His lover did not leave much medicine for him.

"You can see this, little girl, who taught you medical skills?"

……

After thinking for a while, she still didn't answer truthfully. "Konoha's medical system is very developed, and I'm new to it."

"So it is."

The first day of consultation ended politely, and before leaving, I was specifically called out, "Little girl, please wear our special clothes next time. Just treat it as the elder's wish."

Today she went there wearing a ninja uniform and cloak, and there was sweat on her forehead when she took the clothes that the adult had given her.

"As a woman, you can't just wear kimonos given by others. Remember, baby."

"I remember."

The box is not delicate, as if it has been touched for a long time, and even the wood on it has become round and warm to the hands.

"Crack-"

Not a kimono

Inside the opened box was a casual shirt, worn by seven or eight-year-old children in the Iron Country. It had long sleeves and long trousers, which was warm, light and easy to move at the same time.She had seen them on the street the day before yesterday. Children with buns in their hair were also wearing the same style of clothes.

Is it because they are similar?She also wants to know something about the past that she doesn't know about.

"They really look alike." Looking at the girl in front of him who was wearing a casual shirt and wearing two buns, the old man's voice was full of reminiscence.

Uchiha Izumi, who was carefully diagnosing the pulse, did not reply. She did not want to disturb the old man's memorial.

"After drinking the medicine, how do you feel, sir?"

"It's much better, at least it's not so painful, and I can sleep well at night."

"The bamboo house is cold, adults might as well..."

"This is the only place in this house that can make me feel warm." It is the only warm color in his life memory.

Uchiha Izumi didn't reply, but slowly handed over the soup on the table, which was warm and sweet.

After drinking the medicine, the old man gradually stood up and sat at the only desk.All the expensive brushes and pigments are available, and the drawing paper is blank.

"Can I still draw what she looks like?"

This was a sentence that did not require a response. Uchiha Izumi gently closed the door and left stepping on the red and white petals on the bluestone.

This is the only pure place in the cold and indifferent mansion.

"Mo Yan is very good. Is there anything you want to learn?" While he was still alive, he also wanted to make up for some regrets.

Looking at the old man's handwriting next to the gradually taking shape of the painting, Uchiha Izumi suddenly felt that he had nothing to ask.

"The tea here is delicious... and the music of the piano is also very nice." She had missed it willfully. It would be great if someone could teach her patiently.Although this is of little use for a ninja career.

"It's rare that you want to learn it. My daughter can't bear to learn it."

daughter?I heard there was no such thing in this mansion... Staring at the painting in front of her, she really understood something in an instant.

"Yes, you are very much like the daughter I had with my lover. She also left me at your age." His lover is not his wife.

Looking at the old man's kind face, Uchiha Izumi carefully restrained the emotions in his eyes.

"You little girl of few words, what's your name?"

"spring."

"Achievements are very good, as clear as a spring, and the heart is as clear as a mirror."

The consultation on the third day ended a little late because she learned some vocal music under the guidance of the old man.

The teacher and teammates who had not seen each other for three days also came back and gathered around to discuss, while Yu Hayata sitting in the middle was drawing a picture.She glanced at it and only had a rough outline.

"Teacher, is your investigation going well?"

"It's okay, but it will take several days to finish painting this city. Please try to delay it as long as possible." I didn't plan to stay for so long. Since I have time, I might as well collect more information.

"I'm afraid it won't take too long," she sighed, "We have to leave within a week." That adult doesn't have long time either. She is not good at studying and doesn't have the medicine with her, so she can't rejuvenate herself.

"Six days, that's enough."

Making green tea is a very tedious craft, but she learned it quickly and slowly in five days. Even Lord Yuan praised her talent, "I wonder how my daughter is now? I really want to drink her." Tea."

The hand that handed over the teacup shook, and Uchiha Izumi could hardly suppress the sadness that surged out of his heart, "Master Minamoto, why don't you try my tea?"

"Well, I have a taste for it. I need to practice more in the future." The old man who drank tea showed a rare cheerful smile.

"Do me one more favor, little girl."

"Master Yuan, please speak."

"My painting was sent to Master Kongzen of the Gospel Temple for framing yesterday. Could you please pick it up for me?"

"Ok."

Gospel Temple is the only temple in the Kingdom of Iron. Walking on the snow-covered steps, she carefully controlled her pace. The road became very slippery after the snow melted.

The Kingdom of Iron was spared from the conflict of war, and even this temple with a long history became prosperous.

The royal guards here are very famous, and many people come to buy them.After picking up the paintings, Uchiha Izumi finally picked the ones she liked. After paying the money, she immediately went out. The turbid air became cold again. As she walked back slowly, she met Hayata-senpai who was going out to buy pens and ink.

"Hayata-senpai finished your drawing?"

"The painting is finished and the ink is gone."

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Hayata. This is the guardian of the temple."

"Ah, then thank you, schoolgirl." Heian Yushou, for a ninja who licks blood from his knife, this is

It was the best blessing, and his gratitude added another layer, "I accept the blessing from my junior schoolmate."

"Well, did the teacher say when to leave?"

"Tomorrow night."

On the sixth day, Mr. Yuan's condition was already a little bad, and he began to feel trance-like. He could only hold on for a while by drinking medicine.

"Xiao Ling?" The girl who was carefully adjusting the piano sound looked up, with just the right amount of doubt in her eyes.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so confused."

"What music do you want to listen to, Master Yuan?"

"You can play whatever you want, no need to be constrained."

The melodious sound of the piano came to his ears, and the first half was slightly familiar. Breaking through the long time, warm memories infiltrated his vague consciousness, and the word "wishful" was engraved on the guard he was touching in his hand.

The last thing he wanted in his life was to get his wish——

In the next life, let us be an ordinary couple as we wish, plant a peach forest and raise our little Ling.There is no need to deliberately distance yourself, and there is no need to suffer from separation.

Looking at his relatives who were sleeping soundly, Izumi Uchiha silently pulled the sheets over him after finishing playing the piano.

The breeze blows, and the paintings on the wall gradually come to life as they sway.The woman in peach-colored clothes has a pair of bright eyes and a smile as bright as a flower. She is holding a little girl with black hair and white clothes in her hand.The simple words in the blank space describe half a lifetime of longing——

At that time and today, in this door, people's faces and peach blossoms reflected each other's red.

The human face does not know where to go, Peach Blossom still laughs spring breeze.

Team [-], which left the city at a high speed, ran on the empty streets at night. With the Genji token in their hands, they were able to get out of the city smoothly.

It was a helpless move to leave at this time. No matter how late it was, Master Yuan would not be able to care about them.

Looking back at the gradually retracting suspension bridge and the tall city gate, Uchiha Izumi silently recited the unspeakable title in his heart——

Grandpa, I wish you success in your next life and all your wishes come true.
