After Iruka finished his long speech, I just wanted to get up and talk to him, and I suddenly felt a scorching gaze behind me.Looking back, I saw a Hinata girl with white eyes lowered her head and twirling her fingers, and looked up at me from time to time, and shyly looked away after meeting her eyes.

I smiled back and didn't know what to say. When did I become so popular with children?

But this little girl looks familiar, who is it...

The Hinata girl with short bangs and short hair said something to the people around her and ran towards me in small steps.

"That, that... hello..." Before saying a few words, he hesitated, "I'm Hinata Hinata... I don't know if you still remember me?"

When she revealed her identity, I immediately remembered, isn't this the eldest lady of the Hyuga family that I accidentally rescued when I was 13 years old, no wonder she looked at Mianshan.What's more, it was hard for me to forget that experience at that time, after all, it was the scene of my own large-scale rollover.

If Hyuga Hyuzu came, maybe I would have recognized it immediately, but who would let the family be too busy to come?

"It's Miss Hinata, of course I remember, you've grown brighter and brighter, I'm very glad to see you." I smiled softly, Hinata immediately blushed, and she was staring at the person who was here. Seeing this, the Hyuga tribe looked like they were going to eat me raw.

"...No, no! I am also very happy to see you." Her voice became smaller and smaller, as thin as a mosquito, but there was a look of worship in her eyes.

I'm afraid I have accepted a little girl.

I also took out a candy and put it in Hinata's palm like I did with Sakura before, and reached out to touch her head. I said goodbye to her before that Hyuga clan came over.

"Well, I still have something to do, see you next time."

After I finished speaking, I left Hinata with a blushing face who was teased and the angry Hyuga tribe in place, and left here holding the hands of Sasuke and Naruto.

The parents left one after another, and soon there were only a few people left in the classroom, and Iruka seemed to have been waiting for a long time in the corridor, smoking a cigarette in front of the window, so I made a shadow and let him take The two children went home first.

"Yo!" I raised my hand and grinned.

"Yo." He raised his head slowly, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to my eyes, "One?"

I took the cigarette, lit it, and held it in my mouth. I had persuaded Lu Jiu before, but I also smoked it here.

"I didn't expect you to learn to smoke. You look very honest."

Iruka touched the scar on the bridge of his nose embarrassingly after hearing this: "It's not exciting, I don't usually smoke... You still say me, aren't you the same as me?"

"I only smoke once in a while, so don't tease each other." I blew out a smoke ring as a joke and said with a smile.

I can be regarded as smoking, drinking and gambling, but I am not very keen on the other two except drinking.

Iruka stared at me with a smile, silently exhaled smoke, and spoke slowly after a long time.

"You've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

I glanced at him and looked away.

"What? How much can it change?"

"When Ninja School saw you for the first time, you gave me the feeling... How should I put it, it was very gloomy, withdrawn, and extremely indifferent... Don't think my words are ugly, that's the truth. And now you are Like the sun in the crowd, a natural luminous body, the whole person is completely new." He said dully, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"I didn't know that I actually gave people such a feeling at the time."

I found a comfortable position with my back against the wall.

Iruka was right, I was indeed in a state of confusion at the time, and then I gradually got better, and I also learned how to hide those negative emotions in my heart.

Afterwards, facing Minato-sensei and Kakashi, I always maintained a naive attitude, so that I got confused and almost forgot my original face.

Have I changed?Maybe, more than one person said that to me.

"When I wanted to approach you again, you had already graduated before us. At that time, I thought, the world of geniuses is really different from ours."

"Genius..." I let out a chuckle in my throat, "It's not that easy to be."

People often only see the brilliance of the genius on the surface but not the sweat behind it. They use a title of genius to cover up all their efforts, as if this can comfort themselves.

At least none of the geniuses I know of are doing very well.

Kakashi is a genius, but now he is suffering, immersed in a nightmare called Obito, unable to wake up.

Zhishui is a genius, but his eyes are gouged out by people in the village he trusts, and he lives in the shadows without seeing the light.

Itachi is a genius, but he is alone in the dark and has not been seen yet.

As for me, I grew up listening to these beautiful words, what is it like now?Compared with the previous three, my experience is not that good.

Parents died one after another, relatives left the village, and teachers sacrificed.

Looking at it this way, ordinary people really can't bear the title of genius.

I quietly listened to Iruka's narration, and the smile gradually disappeared on my face. If he looked over at this time, he would find that my expression under the smile was so silent and unreasonable.

I often put a smile on the corner of my mouth in order to cover up the meanness buried deep in my bones.

I didn't chat with Iruka for a long time. After smoking the cigarette in my hand, I patted my clothes and walked out of the ninja school. Maybe it's because people will encounter various encounters when they are free. I saw Kakashi wandering around as soon as I went out. .

"Kakashi? Off work?"

"Ah, yes."

Kakashi stroked his hair lazily. I looked at his green vest and asked, "I heard that you quit Anbu to become a Jōnin instructor? Who are your students?"

The other party sighed unexpectedly: "No, I beat them all back to Ninja School and remade them."

I was surprised: "What's going on?"

"They're really good, but not what I want from them."

"What requirement? It's so harsh."

I know that many jonin who lead the team like to ask all kinds of difficult problems, making the seemingly easy snatching of the bell into all sorts of strange things, but it's the first time that Kakashi beat everyone back like this.

"It doesn't count, but they are all too reckless and careless. They don't pay attention to cooperation in order to win the bell, and stick to the rules." He raised his head and looked at the darkened sky, "Obito said that in the ninja world, you don't follow the rules. We call people trash, but those who don't know how to value their companions are even worse than trash...those children still have a lot to learn."

I have long been used to Kakashi's behavior of bringing up Obito from time to time, so I just followed his line of sight and looked towards the end of the sky without saying a word.

The sun was setting, and the red clouds in the distance dyed the sky, like a magnificent and eye-catching landscape painting. A few flying birds passed by, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, making it even more lonely and empty.

The more I lose, the more I realize the value of my companions. A place with relatives is home. When relatives are gone, friendship is the only remaining link between Konoha and me.

Facing the evening wind, I tucked my disheveled hair behind my ears, and tilted my head pretending to be obedient, making a gesture of holding a wine glass.

"Kakashi, shall we go for a drink?"

He looked at me and agreed without saying a word, and even met Kai and Hong on the road, and the drinking team grew instantly.Even Jingye and Shisui after disguise came to join in the fun, the whole table was filled up in an instant, and it was very lively, and the tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a while.

I looked at them amusedly, all of them who hadn't had a lot of alcohol, lying on the table half-dead, drunk, and deeply felt that it would be nice to have a party once in a while after a heavy task.

Listening to Kakashi and Kai's bickering, it seemed as if they had returned to the days when Minatoban was still alive ten years ago.

It's really... nostalgic.
