[Naruto] Three Ways

"It's very late today, would you like to stay at my house overnight?" Ashura asked Chuyun, he didn't care, but he couldn't let a child stay up late with him, or run around outside in the middle of the night.

Chu Yun looked at him, then at the stone tablet not far away, and shook his head decisively.She didn't want to go anywhere, even facing a cold stone tablet, she just wanted to stay in a place where Indra breathed.

I could see her determination, Ashura didn't force it anymore, but he took off the feathers he wore to wrap Chuyun up, the adult size clothes were undoubtedly too big, almost buried the little child, But also warm enough to withstand the not-so-cold autumn night.

"Then stay here with me for a while. Speaking of which, I haven't stayed with anyone for a long time."

Chu Yun tightened his clothes, and finally sat obediently beside Asura.This person has no ill intentions towards her. Since they don't want to leave, it's fine to sit together for a while.

The two people, one big and one small, just sat together, staring at the stele under the night sky in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Asura suddenly asked, "Aren't you really tired?"

Chu Yun shook her head, she could only rest for a few hours and be energetic for a few days, which was not possible in the past, but she can do it now.

"Then let me tell you a story? Maybe you will be so bored that you will fall asleep?" Asura's second sentence was a little self-deprecating. Bedtime stories are not destined for him. The only thing he has ever heard The first time was in a thunderstorm night when he was a child, Yuromo read to him and Indra. As a result, Indra was so focused that he couldn't fall asleep, and he fell asleep within five sentences.

From childhood to adulthood, his life is full of traces of Indra. No matter where he is or what he does, as long as there is him, there will be Indra. However, since when did Indra no longer exist in his world? Woolen cloth?He couldn't remember clearly, maybe it was when he, like ordinary people, pushed everything to Indra to make decisions because of his lack of talent, and he just looked up at the side instead of trying to catch up with him.

Probably because he thought it didn’t matter if the child couldn’t understand, or he just wanted someone to listen to him talk about the past. Asura told Chuyun all the things he remembered and Indra as a story. He didn’t Say the name, just say that they are a pair of twins.

Asura's story is told in bits and pieces, including the daily chores of the two brothers fishing together, and also interesting stories about learning to practice. The elder brother is praised by people for his outstanding talent, while the younger brother plays with friends outside all day. It's a joke every time during the assessment.

Chu Yun listened quietly, without interjecting from the beginning to the end, she watched Asura speak happily, her warm brown eyes lit up, and the brilliance flowing inside was extremely dazzling.

"Until he was almost 20 years old, my brother was still incapacitated. Especially that time outside, he wanted to knock someone unconscious but nothing happened. It was so embarrassing at that time! In the end, it was my brother's friend who knocked a sap Knocked people out. If it was my brother, this kind of thing would never happen, right?"

"Tell me, are they really brothers? How can there be such a difference?"

Perhaps it was because of talking for too long, Ashura's voice became a little hoarse, and at the end he even covered his mouth suddenly and turned his head away. Chu Yun leaned over and heard the suppressed cough leaking from between his fingers.

"Are you all right?"

"It's okay, maybe I talked too much at once...cough cough..." Pressing his throat, Asura tried to smile at Chu Yun, but the cough couldn't stop as if a floodgate had been opened, and he quickly turned his head away Coughing uncontrollably, even his face turned pale.

It seems serious.Chu Yun looked around, but did not see any traces of water. After thinking about it, she ran to a tree not far away, and waved to it. The branches lowered silently, and one of the leaves grew bigger. several times.Chu Yun plucked the leaf and rolled it into a cone shape, then filled it with water. When she was thirsty and couldn't find water to drink, she always solved it like this.

"Give."

A pair of small hands in front of him were holding leaves filled with water, Ashura said "thank you" hastily, and drank all the water with Chuyun's hands, finally suppressing the terrible cough.

"Are you in poor health?" Seeing Asura slowing down, Chu Yun asked worriedly.

"There's nothing serious about it, don't worry." Asura lightly brushed off the question.He is indeed not sick, and whoever diagnoses him will be the result, but his body is indeed getting weaker day by day, and he knows the reason, he hasn't had a good rest for more than half a year, if it wasn't for his abnormal physique, he might have tortured himself to death.But he has no choice, because as soon as he closes his eyes, everything from that day will be repeated in front of his eyes, everything from the day Indra died, from that time on, his world shattered into dust and could never be put together again.

"But it's really bad that I let a child take care of me."

Chu Yun raised the leaf in his hand and asked him, "Do you want any more water?"

His throat was still dry and itchy, and he even felt his head throbbing and hurting. Asura rubbed his forehead and chose to admit his situation honestly: "That's trouble for you, I'm not very good at this."

Chu Yun filled the leaf cup with water again. This time Asura saw the process of her using ninjutsu. There was no seal or language, and a small water vortex suddenly appeared in the leaf, and then a little bit diffused. come up.He has only seen one person who can use chakra without seals.

"Who are you... Forget it, it doesn't matter."

After asking and answering himself, Asura took the water from Chuyun, drank it all and lay down on the ground, he was indeed a little tired.Seeing this, Chu Yun sat back beside him, still quiet and obedient.

"I said, little Chuyun, if you have no place to go, would you like to come and live with me at my house? My house is very big, and there is only me. If there are more people, it will be more lively?"

Chu Yun who was invited didn't know how to answer, she hadn't figured out what to do next.Her coming out is done, she finds Indra, but he can no longer go back to their home with her, and she has no thought of staying here though.

"Sorry, I... want to go home." Although it was only her home.

After a while, Chuyun didn't get a response from Asura. She looked carefully and found that he had fallen asleep at some point. The faint blue and black under his eyes and the trembling eyelids showed that not only had he not had a good rest, but even at this moment Didn't sleep well either.Chu Yun stood up lightly, and even used Feng Dun to avoid making any noise.

She covered Asura's body with the feathers on her body, bowed deeply to him, and then left quietly.

The author has something to say: Bonus paragraph:

Asura was woken up by the chirping of birds in the early morning. He was surprised when he realized what time it was. He hadn't been able to sleep for such a long time at a time. Although he didn't feel refreshed, he felt more tired than before. But it's normal, sleeping this little time can't make up for the exhaustion from so long before.

"Xiao Chuyun?" There was no sound around him, he called out, but got no response.

He knew that the child, the one who existed as if it were a miracle, was gone, and he might never see her again.

Putting on the haori on his body again, Ashura slowly walked back to Ninzong, just when he was near the field, he saw Konna running from a distance.

"Asura! Where did you go so early in the morning?!" Konna almost died of panic when she couldn't find Asura early in the morning. As a delicate and sensitive woman, she knew that Asura's state was far worse than he showed, but No matter how worried she was, all she got in return was Asura saying "it's okay", she could only look at him as much as possible, lest he continue to ruin her body.

"Let's take a walk, Kanna, you don't have to look at me like a child, right? Although I'm often unreliable, I'm still an adult after all." With a smile, he changed the subject, Asura Looking into the distance, he is now on a relatively high terrain, and he can clearly see his home behind the private house. The weather today is very good, with blue sky and white clouds, and the autumn wind is refreshing. The roof floated by, drifting to a distant place.

"Kanna, today's clouds... are so beautiful..."
