Way of the Ninja

..." Youxi said slowly.

"Thank you..." Sasuke looked at Yuki who was watching him. They were so close that he seemed to be able to feel Yuki's breath...

I don't know if it was the flames or what, Sasuke felt his face was a little hot, he turned his face away, and asked hesitantly, "By the way...why..."

"Huh? What why?" Yuki looked confusedly at Sasuke who suddenly turned his face away and distanced himself from her.

"Why... are you so kind to me?" Sasuke has actually been wanting to ask this question since two years ago.

And this question made Youxi stunned.

why...

She doesn't seem to have really thought about this issue...

She did accept Kazami's order to make eyeliner to watch them, and also agreed to make some food for Sasuke.

But they didn't allow themselves to understand Sasuke's preferences, to care about Sasuke's physical condition, to really get into Uchiha Sasuke seriously.

It turned out that she knew Sasuke, hoped that Sasuke would be happy, hoped that Sasuke would be safe, hoped... could stay by Sasuke's side... Are these all out of her own consciousness? ...

Yuki suddenly realized this, and for some reason Asahi's words reverberated in her mind——

【"Youxi?! Are you really in love?!"】

"Hey?!?!??!" Yuki suddenly yelled strangely, and also surprised Sasuke on the side.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing!!!" Youxi stood up in a hurry, "I remembered that Mr. Orochimaru had something to do with me, so I'll go first, ahahaha...!" As he said that, Yuxi quickly fled the scene.

Sasuke frowned uncomfortably as he watched someone's back going away.

"Tch, what is this..."

turn sadness into tenderness

【1】

Tang Ze Asahi really did not expect that this world is so small.

After finally completing his mother's punishment, Tang Ze Asahi ran out of Akatsuki's base almost without hesitation.Originally, she planned to go to Orochimaru to find Yuxi, but before leaving, Xie introduced a more interesting place to her.

Artisan Village, a village of ninja development experts, is responsible for the supply of weapons from the five major countries.This kind of place is undoubtedly very attractive to Asahi, who usually likes to collect all kinds of weapons, so she immediately forgot about Yuki, and turned to Artisan Village as her destination.

Then it was such a coincidence that she encountered a scuffle on the way.

What's more, she also knows the protagonists on the side of the melee...

It was the Konoha people she had met during the Chunin exam, as well as Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro of Sand Ninja.

At this moment, Gaara has gradually turned into a tailed beast, and they are confronting a white-haired man dressed like a humanoid Gundam.

"Hamura Asahi?! Why are you here?!" It was Neiji Hyuga who had white eyes who spotted her first.

Asahi jumped down the hillside and walked to them. Seeing their guarded faces, she could only helplessly explain again, "I was just passing by. I can only say that we are so destined. And I really have nothing to do with Orochimaru , and I don’t want to be your enemy, so don’t look at me with such terrifying eyes, right?”

"Hmph, it suddenly disappeared in the last exam, and now it suddenly reappears, it looks suspicious no matter how you look at it." Shikamaru still didn't let go of his guard.

"Whatever you want~" Asahi squatted down and looked at Sakura who was healing Naruto, "Tsk tsk, it's not bad, you have already learned medical ninjutsu, it seems that I don't need my help." Then she turned her head Looking at the scorching battlefield, Asahi almost decided that he must be a villain with that white-haired attire, and Gaara was unexpectedly... calm...

"Who can explain the current situation to me~" Asahi glanced at the people around him, "Depending on the situation, it's not impossible for me to help~"

"That person is the founder of the Artisan Village, and his name is Qingming." A little girl next to Sakura explained to Asahi, "He was resurrected as the ultimate ninja tool, and at the same time he took Gaara-sensei Chakra."

"Gaara... Teacher?" Asahi frowned, this guy, at such a young age, he has already become someone's teacher?

"Yes... Teacher Gaara is the one who is in charge of teaching me!" The little girl nodded, "Please, if you can, please help Teacher Gaara!"

Asahi was quite surprised by the girl's words. The girl obviously cared about Gaara and respected him a lot. Didn't expect that suffering and hated middle school patient to have a support group?Sure enough, as my mother said, is this kind of persona particularly easy to attract little girls? !

"Okay, since you've asked me sincerely~" Asahi stood up, holding Kiyomitsu's hilt, and was about to use the knife to stop Gaara's tailed beast transformation and then hit Qingming, but what happened next made Asahi Shocked, that Gaara suppressed the Tailed Beast with his own will? !The sand gradually slid off him, and he returned to his original form...

"What's wrong with that guy?..." Naruto looked confused.

"Maybe Gaara...is suppressing Shukaku's power with his own will." Temari was also shocked by Gaara's awareness at this moment.

"Why?! Isn't this weakening your combat effectiveness?" Shikamaru said he couldn't understand.

"Even so... That guy chose to fight with his own strength and consciousness, rather than the power of Shuhe that he couldn't control..."

Seeing that Gaara had returned to its original state, the white-haired monster named Qingming taunted, "Hehe... can't you maintain the tailed beast state with just those chakras?..."

Gaara tightened his fists, he looked at Qingming, and replied firmly, "I will rely on my own strength to rescue important companions!"

These words made Asahi very surprised... this guy...

His eyes are no longer full of hostility, now he is calm and peaceful, and even has a companion who wants to protect...

Asahi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

That guy, really changed.

Next, Gaara defeated Qingming with his own strength, and finally he lost his strength and fell into the sand sea he created.

Asahi immediately jumped to Gaara's side, she pulled out the stable knife and stuck it on the ground, a familiar magic circle appeared in an instant, and began to help Gaara recover.

"Hamura Asahi...it's you..." Gaara was also a little surprised seeing Asahi.

"Yeah~ Long time no see~" Asahi smiled brightly, showing her small canine teeth, "You really have changed a lot~"

"I think... I want to gain the approval of others through my own efforts... Ever since I fought with that guy, I have been thinking this way... For me... the only bond with others is hatred and killing Meaning...but...I seem to be able to somewhat understand now...the bond that allowed him to reach that point...what is it...that is to be able to share pain, sorrow, and joy with someone... At that time you said There are many interesting things in this world, I think, it refers to these..." Gaara's mouth showed a smile as he spoke.

Asahi looked at Gaara's smile and froze for a moment.

Has this guy suddenly changed from a paranoid in the second grade to a gentle and warm man? !Isn't this too fast? !

Maybe actually...

Asahi looked into Gaara's pure eyes.

This guy has always been a gentle person...

"Cut~ Just think about it! I'll treat you to a popsicle some other day!~"

The recovery effect of stability is very fast, and Gaara's injury is not serious, mainly due to excessive consumption of chakra, Asahi felt that it was almost done, so he withdrew stability.

But she saw Jiraiya and Kakashi walking towards her.

Originally, Zilaiya and Kakashi were worried that Naruto and his party came to check the situation. They didn't expect that although the matter in the artisan village had been well resolved, something that shocked them appeared before them.

"Little girl, the two knives on your waist are 'Qing Guang' and 'An Ding', right?" Zilai also looked at the little girl in front of him. The girl looked only 5 or 6 years old and had a very delicate face. , short silver-white hair was blowing in the wind.The artifact in her hands is without a doubt the Divine Artifact of the Kingdom of Water, and she is very sure about it, but why is it in the hands of such a little girl...

"Yeah, what's the matter." Asahi also admitted without hesitation, this white-haired grandpa looks very strong, and lying seems to be meaningless.

"Why is this pair of artifacts in your hands?" Ji Lai also asked.

"This is my birthday present~" Asahi replied honestly, but Jiraiya didn't know how to continue the conversation...

"You..." Kakashi didn't pay much attention to this child at first, but he recalled that when he met Tang Ze Kazun again, she seemed to mention this girl's name, could it be..."Do you know someone named Tang Ze Kazun?" ?”

Hearing her mother's name, Asahi's smile gradually disappeared, and she raised her head to look at the man with whom she was related by blood. "Yes, I do know this person. And she is behind you now—"

"What?!?" Kakashi and Jiraiya looked back in surprise, but when they turned around again, they found that the little girl named Asahi had disappeared...

"Who is she..." Kakashi was lost in thought.

Is this world really interesting?Gaara once never thought about this problem. He thought that everything other than himself was not important. The meaning of the existence of foreign objects was to be destroyed by oneself to prove their own existence.

But after the battle with Uzumaki Naruto, he felt that everything changed
