Remnant bones

The early morning leaves are shrouded in a white mist.

Looking up at the rather spectacular huge wooden wall, I have lived here for more than half a month, but this is the first time I have a closer look at this peaceful village bathed in sunlight.Tranquility, filled with the warm morning light, the air washed by the morning dew, fresh with a light fragrance of grass.

And that bloody night a month ago, it seemed that this corner, which is rare and pure in the chaotic society, was not stained with the slightest ominous shadow filled with fishy sweetness.

"Konoha..." The pearly eyes narrowed slightly, and the long eyelashes that fell down along the way filtered the light that was too dazzling for me.

I can't tell the most intuitive feeling of this place from the bottom of my heart. Obviously, the last time I came here, I was just a "passing traveler", but this time... I will become a member of this place in name.A place completely different from the base. Compared with reality, this place is more like the "home" I once imagined.

There are no family disputes of close relatives, no intrigues under the mask of hypocrisy, no tit-for-tat fights for power...there is perfect, like an illusory world without darkness in fairy tales, warm and full of warmth.

——Even though I know everything is an illusion, I need to use this illusion to blind my eyes.

A self-deprecating look flashed through his eyes.

After brushing the long hair that fell down from the forehead, no one would notice until a close look was made that the original pure white had already been mixed with traces of very light gray.It's like a small change in the upper part of the body that can no longer be recovered since that mutation.

Is it really getting old... Come here again, there is a kind of change, the vicissitudes of life.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Seeing that I stopped suddenly, Jun Malu walked around in front of me suspiciously, raised his head and asked, "Your complexion is not very good, do you want to take a rest?" On the small face with a healthy blush, there is no trace of weakness that has ever existed.

In terms of physique, Jun Malu is far from what I can compare to. At least for now, it seems that it is no different from the past.It took nearly a month to strictly prohibit this little guy who has become crazy from training to use blood successors. After resting in bed for so long, it is not completely ineffective.But it seemed that he was really suffocated.

"It's nothing." Taking a deep breath to adjust my mood, I stroked his little furry head, slightly hooked the corner of my lower lip, pointed to the blue gate looming in the mist not far away, and said softly: "From now on... that will be our 'home'."

At least, until that time comes.

"'Home'...?" Looking at the bustling village that is about to settle in the distance, even though he put on a cold face like me all day long, Jun Malu still couldn't hide the look on his face, faintly revealing out of anticipation.

Although he didn't hate the base, he still had a child's nature after all, and he preferred the well-lit outdoors to the dark basement.Especially during the days when he and his elder brothers, Itachi and Kisame were recuperating in the country of water, he had heard too many things about Konoha from that indifferent but gentle black-haired boy.

The blue sky with little rain, the lush and lush forest, a beautiful village that is powerful but free from conflicts and wars... In the country of water, which is pervaded by wars all year round, Junmaro, who was born, never thought of There will be such a dreamlike place in the world.

Although he didn't understand why he mentioned it every time, that Itachi, who was obviously older than himself but always as calm as water, couldn't help showing a faint sadness that made people suffocate... However, all these could not reduce him even a little bit. Yearning for Konoha.

As he got closer to there, his joyful mood made his steps seem a lot lighter: "Brother, let's go!"

"Yeah." I answered with a smile in my eyes, and I followed Jun Malu who was trotting ahead, walking unhurriedly.

The same white hair, similar appearance, and the same two red marks, such appearance characteristics are not difficult for others to perceive the blood relationship between the two.It's just that the huge age difference makes it difficult for people to judge whether they are brothers or father and son, but they are extremely eye-catching without exception.

The older man had long, ankle-length plain white hair that hung loosely, a bunch of which was loosely pulled up behind his ears, and was casually tied behind his head with a red hair rope.She was dressed in a pure white kimono similar to her hair color, with a palm-wide ornate sash tied around her waist. On a black background, there was a gorgeous bright red Ji Chun, which created a great visual impact.Except for a medium-sized black scroll tied with a red string at the back waist, his hands are empty, completely different from ordinary travelers, but there is nothing on his body that can identify his ninja identity.

On the contrary, it was the handsome boy who was walking in front, carrying a medium-sized backpack and a set of blue and white-faced bunt kimonos. On the contrary, his neat and broken hair looked extraordinarily capable and energetic.

Strange... two people.

The two elite Chunin guarding the gate looked at each other and saw the same evaluation in each other's eyes.

Although there was no sense of malice, one of the strangers, a chunin with a sea urchin head and a white bandage on the bridge of his nose, took the initiative to step forward and asked routinely: "Is it not yet?" During the tourism opening season, if you two come to play, please show your pass. If you release a mission, you need to show the mission book, and we will send someone to take you to the mission center."

"We're here to settle." I wasn't surprised that they didn't recognize me.

Originally, it was at night when they came, and it was directly taken over by the security team and Anbu. They were just ordinary Chunin and they had no right to intervene.What's more, except for the time when I wandered around the village with Sasuke Naruto and the two little guys, in fact, there are very few people in Konoha who have actually met me.

Besides my current appearance, it is estimated that few people can recognize it immediately.

However, if you want to say that the people I know in Konoha... excluding those who ascended to heaven, there are only a few of them, and the first one who bears the brunt of "being taken advantage of" is naturally the one-eyed sullen man with silver hair and big otaku.

I glanced at a corner imperceptibly, and I said without changing my face: "Is Kakashi there?" Sure enough, there are only two guards, and the concealment is good, isn't Anbe?

"This... Hatake-senpai is on a mission. If you want to settle down, please go to the Hokage office with me first. This requires the consent of the third generation." His temperament was frozen, and he felt a chill inexplicably.

However, he really didn't expect that the other party would know the well-known "Copy Ninja" Kakashi... Well, they both have silver-white hair, and are they relatives of the Hatake clan?

"Yeah." Nodding my head, I replied indifferently.The absence of Kakashi is completely reasonable, and in fact there is not much difference, anyway, the process of negotiating with the old man cannot be avoided.

Waving, I greeted Junma Lu who was looking at a corner, I knew exactly what he was looking for.The little guy who has always been extremely sensitive intuition noticed the abnormality there, but after all, his experience is still a little bit lacking. Without killing intent, he would not be able to determine the opponent's position at all.Otherwise, he would find that there were at least two ninjas hidden within five steps to the upper left of where he stood before.

"Brother." Jun Malu, who was holding my hand and lowered his head to think about something, finally asked me suddenly as if giving up, "How many?" He must have seen it.

"Near, five steps up and two to the left; far, one on the tree in the south, and one in the northwest corner." This is what you can "see" with careful observation.I said it in the usual short way between the two of us, and it wasn't considered covert.

As for other things that cannot be "seen" with the eyes, I decided to save some face for these dark parts because I will live permanently in the future.

But even so, my words still caused the Chunin leading the way to slip and almost fell to the ground.The corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching. If he remembered correctly, that was Anbu's standby position today.Although not all Jnin in Anbu are Jnin, but even if they are Jnin, their concealment ability is no worse than that of ordinary Jnin!Who are these two guys?Forget about the small one, but the big one is so clear... He obviously doesn't look like a ninja!

"Four... Sure enough, there is still too much difference between him and my brother." With the other hand holding his clothes tightly, although the expression on Jun Malu's face did not change, there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes.He thought that he was already strong...

"This is not your specialty." I patted his head and comforted him.

Although Kimaru's comprehensive level is not as good as Jonin, it is definitely more than elite Chunin.In terms of destructive power alone, even most junin would be extremely headaches against superiors.There is no doubt that he is a typical attack system ninja, his ninjutsu barely reaches the level of Chunin, and his illusion is zero.It's normal for Anbu to see through the camouflage that Anbu uses illusion to some extent.What's more, concealment, like assassination, is Anbu's specialty.

Unlike me, although I can accurately lock the target, in essence, I can be said to be "cheating"-the pure "snake pupil" in the right eye, in this regard, even Itachi, who is good at illusion, can't do anything.

Of course, the premise is that he is not using "month reading".

"Hmm..." Although Jun Malu was still a little unwilling, he was not as depressed as before, and what he witnessed immediately made him completely forget the little unhappiness in his heart.

In the distance, the Hokage Rock in the center of the village, which is engraved with the heads of four Hokages from past dynasties, is extremely eye-catching.

And the next one is Konoha's landmark building - Hokage Office.As the political building for Hokage's office, it is the tallest building located under the Hokage Rock.Even standing at the gate of the village just entered, you can also see the huge "fire" character on the door plate, which is extremely eye-catching.

It seems that we have no doubt that we will settle here. The Chunin who led the way introduced us to the village very enthusiastically. Although we, the two listeners, did not express anything, Kimomaro really pricked up his ears.

Along the way, passing through the busiest street in Konoha, the appearance of Junmaro and I undoubtedly attracted the attention of many ordinary people who are opening shops and passers-by.In the past two years when I was wandering outside, I often encountered this kind of situation, and I have long been used to it.On the contrary, Jun Ma Lu, who rarely stays outside except for missions, is quite uncomfortable beside me, trying to avoid those sights.

It's not that they haven't been watched so much before, but the eyes of those children in the base are either fear or awe.Such simple curiosity and admiration... This is really the first time.

I couldn't help raising my eyebrows at his evasive reaction.If I'm not mistaken, he is... shy?very rare~

I couldn't help showing a gentle smile in my eyes. I found that it was indeed the right choice for Junmaro and me to settle in Konoha.

Training all day is not a small burden on the psychological pressure. He has rarely laughed because of me, Orochimaru, Shigego, Shiro, and people other than Kaorin.The reason why I became facial paralyzed was because I had no choice but to be too lazy to change it, but I didn't plan to make Jun Malu become a little facial paralyzed like me.

He is only 11 years old... hold his right hand tightly.Children, always have to smile more to be cute.

Unknowingly, we walked to the door of the Yizheng Building. The Chunin at the counter on the first floor confirmed that Sandai had gone to work, then took us to the innermost room on the third floor, knocked on the door and said, "Master Sandai, I will Those who applied for settlement brought it in."

"Oh, let them in." The old voice of the third generation who is not unfamiliar, replied kindly: "You can go back, thank you!"

"Yes." Although the door was not opened, the Chunin still bowed respectfully outside the door, and then said goodbye to us: "Go in by yourself! I wish you can settle in Konoha smoothly and become a member here."

I didn't answer, just nodded to him politely, and pushed the door open with Junmalu.

"Long time no see!" In front of a row of open windows, an old man with white hair sat behind a huge desk in the middle and waved to us with a smile.

Yeah... long time no see.

I'm back here again, Mu Ye.
