[Naruto] Chronicle of Wood

"Xiao Hei, don't you remember your name?"

The one who spoke was a girl of twenty-eight years old, but this girl was not like an ordinary girl, her brows were quiet and elegant, standing under the beech tree, even if she was alone with a tall man, she was not at all shy The meaning of fear, even when these words came out of her mouth, there was a hint of concern.

The man who was asked tilted his head and thought for a while, then finally shook his head: "I can't remember."

There is no mistake in the pulse condition, and the physical injuries have almost recovered.

But the girl who heard this answer couldn't help frowning: What is the reason for this?

Seeing the girl's embarrassment, the man called Xiao Hei withdrew his wrist and said with a relaxed smile, "Compared to the previous state, it is God's favor to save one's life, so don't worry."

Instead, he comforted the girl.

"Who said I was worried about you?" The girl said angrily after being reassured by the patient, although the worry in her heart was slightly reduced.

She saved this man out of pity for a while, but because she is a ninja from the hermit family, she was worried that he would cause trouble. I think this man would ask three questions after waking up... If it wasn't for a little bit of testing, this man would always speak calmly and have clear eyebrows, and the girl thought she still had some ability to understand people, so she would never dare to keep him until this time .

"Yes, yes." Xiao Hei, who was stared at by the girl, didn't care about his temper at all. He nodded and patted the grass on his left, "Stop standing all the time, sit down and talk."

"What can I talk to you about?" Although she complained so much, the girl gathered her dress and sat down on her knees.

The place where they sat was at the top of the mountain. This is the place where the Whirlpool clan worships. There are usually no people there. Only the daughter of the patriarch comes up to clean it at the end of each month. It is precisely because of this that the two met.

"Mito." Xiao Hei looked serious, and the girl called Mito looked at him seriously.

"what?"

"Although I still can't remember, I don't think my name is Xiao Hei."

nonsense.

Xiao Hei was chosen casually by Mito looking at the dark sky. It is strange that he had to be called this name. He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter. Mito looked at him speechlessly: "Then you What do you want to call it?"

Instead of asking what it is called, ask what you want to be called.

This is what it means to allow a name change.

The long-haired man immediately smiled, that smile was like a sunrise rising from the clouds, his clear brows seemed to make the world lose its color, and the thousands of green mountains behind him became a foil at this time, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

The corners of Mito's mouth curled up slightly. Although he didn't know his name yet, and although he didn't know him well, seeing such a pure smile made people feel relaxed and comfortable. He couldn't help letting go of his heart and chatting with him.

"I..." However, the man who was still smiling brightly just now looked troubled, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Mito patted him again: he smiled so attentively, but he didn't make any preparations.

"Oh." The man pretended to wail, and then said haha: "The name Xiao Hei doesn't look like me at all, I want to change it."

"You want me to fetch it for you?"

"Mito is so smart, he must be able to choose a nice and handsome name."

"Don't worry about me getting another one like Xiao Hei for you? Like Xiao Bai or something."

"No way." The man showed an unbelievable expression, and then said in pain, "If this is the case, I have to admit it."

Seeing Xiao Hei's toothache, Mito couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know your name, I figured out my own name, but if you don't think of it, I'll call you Xiao Hei first."

The name Xiao Hei sounds like a piece of black charcoal, and he never feels that he is waving his hands with the man Heitan is with: "Don't, let me think about it."

Having said that, I scratched my head and scratched my head for a while, but still couldn't come up with a good word for a man who really didn't have much experience in naming names.

A gust of wind passed by, and the beech leaves above them fell gently, rolling into the man's eyes. His eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes."

"what?"

The man grabbed Flying Leaf and said, "Let's call it Ye Zi, this name sounds nice and easy to remember." And compared with names like Xiao Hei Xiao Bai, it doesn't look like a common name at all, and it has a unique feeling.

Unexpectedly, the corner of Mito's mouth twitched when he heard the name.

"What?" the man asked suspiciously, "Isn't it good?"

Taking Zi as the end means calling a woman, but seeing this man's expression of not knowing why, Mito sighed: "This name is a bit delicate, it is not very suitable."

The long-haired man showed such an expression, and then looked at the leaf in his hand with regret.

"You only thought of the name when you saw this fallen leaf." Mito thought for a while, and she pointed to the tall beech tree above and said, "In this case, why not use the tree as an excuse? It was a weak seedling at first, But year after year, it has been nurtured by the sun and rain, and has grown through wind and rain. Now the tree has deep roots and rocks, the tree is straight and straight, and the canopy is luxuriant. It has become a rare and beautiful scenery. Do fallen leaves have more meaning?"

Unexpectedly, Mito suddenly said such words, and the man stared at her blankly.

"What kind of idiot are you?" Seeing the other party's dull expression, Mito shook his head and said, "Am I not right?"

"No, you said it very well." The man looked away and smiled, "Then my name is Shu?"

Hearing the other party being so direct, Mito chuckled: "It doesn't have to be like that."

"?"

"Since you like the name Ye Zi, you don't need to give it up." Mito said, his eyes shining brightly, "It's better to add a wooden character after it, but this kind of meaning is a bit dull, you can take a homophonic character and add three dots , how about taking Mu as the tail?"

"Yezi Mu?"

"Yeah." Mito nodded, looking at the man in front of her and said solemnly, "Although your life was hanging by a thread when I rescued you, and now you've managed to raise yourself well, but you don't know where you came from. Like a fallen leaf, there is no root, no grass, no way to go, but I hope you can be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix, one day you can find your own place to stand, and then thrive like this big tree beside me, and finally stand proudly on the top of the mountain, Ling Ran In the world, become a hero of the world."

A look of surprise appeared on the man's face, and he stared blankly at the eloquent red-haired woman, feeling a warm current in his heart.

Seeing the other party's scorching eyes, Mito rarely blushed, but she said, "Do you understand?"

"Okay." Faced with such a serious and solemn question from the dignified and beautiful girl, Ye Zimu responded. He thought he would always remember this moment. The girl's red hair was like fire, her face was as bright as the sun, and that How the deafening and bright nebula-like blessings and encouragement shook his heart, made him tremble and encouraged him, and gained the strength to move forward countless times.

Mito can't let Ye Zimu stay here any longer.

Apart from her, no one in the Uzumaki clan now knows that Mito found an outsider on the top of the sacrificed mountain, and even saved his life, and Mito might let him go.

As a hermit family, this undoubtedly took great danger.

If Ye Zimu came from an unkind person, if Ye Zimu was just a foreign enemy to inquire about news...

But no matter what, if he doesn't want the person he rescued to be killed by the clan, Mito has no choice but to let Ye Zimu go when the sacrifice is coming.

It was also because of this that she had those faintly disrespectful words.

When she asked Ye Zimu about her memory again, Mito herself hesitated, but in the end she decided to let him go, so at this moment, instead of going down the mountain alone as usual, she hesitated for a moment and then said to Ye Zimu: "People from the tomorrow clan You will come up, you can't see them, so tonight, you have to go."

Hearing the girl's order, Ye Zimu was surprised and suddenly realized, but under the girl's gaze, although there was a little bit of bewilderment, he quickly calmed down, and just smiled: "Okay."

Obviously the other party didn't say anything, but Mito felt that he had already noticed his embarrassment and hesitation, and that handsome and clear smile also let Mito know that he didn't need to explain anything.

The night was dark, under the starry sky, Ye Zimu followed the girl's pace, her thoughts drifted unconsciously.

I'm leaving

It must be difficult for her to save me

will it be alright

So far there has been no change, I think nothing will happen

can be a bit reluctant

but no way

Do you want to tell her about that time?

will be angry

……

Ye Zimu, who was about to say goodbye, suddenly remembered the scene of Mito facing his tattered body when he had just regained consciousness.

Although because of Mito's not-so-high level of treatment, Ye Zimu suffered a lot in secret.

But thinking of the scene where she carefully treated the wound with ointment and fishing line, and was so busy sweating profusely that she accidentally knocked over the warm water and wet her dress when she turned around, and then went berserk, Ye Zimu was happy.

Although Mito became a different person after he opened his eyes and became very dignified, but at that time, it was because of the berserk Mito shouted angrily, "I'm so mad, I hate doing these things, why did I save you?" Ah, why don't you just leave it alone' But Ye Zimu still patiently applied the medicine, so that Ye Zimu could hand over his body to the other party with peace of mind.

I don't know where I came from, and why I got such a serious injury, but it is undoubtedly a kind of luck to meet Mito at that time.

Especially afterwards, Ye Zimu vaguely sensed that Mito took a great risk to save him.

"Here we are." Mito stopped at the foot of the mountain and said to Ye Zimu, "I will open the barrier for a while, don't look back after you go out, run west with all your strength, as long as you enter the desert, no one will be able to find you."

Still a little reluctant.

Although he took the dry food and water handed over by the other party, Ye Zimu didn't go out immediately.

Thinking of Mito's surprise when he saw himself open his eyes, his determination not to let him go down the mountain, his wide-eyed expression when he was asked to deliver food, his bright smile, his resigned compromise, and under the beech tree, That precious blessing...

This scene made Ye Zimu want to stay for a while longer.

"Why are you dawdling?" Mito whispered, "I left the house late at night, it would be bad if I was found out, you don't want to..."

"Will I ever see you again?"

"You!" Mito didn't expect the other party to be so grumpy at this time, but knew it was reluctant, whispered, "I don't know, but I only know that if you delay for a moment, there will be more danger."

This is to despise his sons and daughters.

Ye Zimu scratched his face, then stepped forward.

"I will definitely see you again, thank you, Mito."

Mito: "..."

After hugging the girl tightly, Ye Zimu let go of his hand and said with a smile, "It's too late to hit me now."
