Just wait till you die

The apartment allocated by the village is a one-story house with a small yard, which is slightly more spacious than the original house and is located on the edge of the village.Sasuke was tidying up the room I was going to live in when I got home, and it was hilarious to see him trying to flatten the corner of the sheet.I went over and took the sheet out of his hands and made the bed with two or three movements.

Sasuke passed the pillow beside him.

I put the pillows on the head of the bed, and opened the box on the ground that was packed from my original residence. These things were randomly packed by other ninjas. There were only a few daily clothes and a few scrolls inside. I put the scrolls in the On the low table, the remaining clothes, together with the cardboard boxes, were thrown into the trash bin at the door.

Sasuke looked at me very puzzled: "Then what are you wearing?"

I opened one of the scrolls to break the seal, and the wallet fell into my hands.

I said to Sasuke, "Let's go to the street."

Going out of the gate and turning a few more intersections is the market I am familiar with. The uncle who makes candy at the street is still trying to sell his works to me.In the past, I walked over without saying a word, but after the uncle took my money today, he had a petrified expression, as if he didn't believe that he would be able to sell me sugar one day.

I handed the candy to Sasuke, and he turned his face away and muttered, "I'm not a kid... eh."

Stuffing sugar into his mouth, I walked towards the old woman selling vegetables by the side of the road.

"Hi, Xi Yinchan, it's been a long time, did you bring your younger brother out today?" The old lady looked at us with a smile.

"I'm not her brother." Sasuke retorted immediately.

I pressed his head and nodded: "Yes, please give me a double serving today."

Sasuke followed behind me without saying a word. I didn't bother to pay attention to him. I put the ingredients and toiletries I bought into plastic bags, picked out some regular clothes and children's clothes, and walked back.

An hour later we were seated at the table.

It is said to be a dining table, but it is just a small, low wooden table.

I sat on the mat, eating the rice bite by bite, thinking about whether to change the table tomorrow.

"That..." Sasuke put down his chopsticks, his face was full of embarrassment, the rice bowl in front of him hadn't been touched for a moment, I glanced at the two dishes and one soup on the table, and asked him, "Is it unpalatable?"

I obviously follow the recipe, and I have never made a mistake. It is impossible to be so unpalatable that I can't eat it.

Just when I was about to taste the new dish I made, Sasuke said in a low voice: "No, it's delicious. I, I will work hard and graduate early to make money."

Although his voice was low, his tone was firm and reliable.This is beyond my comprehension.

"Why? Do you think I can't afford you?" I suddenly figured out the key, "Because I failed the exam?"

His expression told me that's what he thought, but he didn't say it because he was afraid of embarrassing me.

"Why do you think so?" I asked, "Besides ninjas, there are many professions in this world. Any job is enough for me to raise you."

Sasuke's eyes turned red suddenly, and after a while he was awkward and told me not to give up my ninja dream because of Itachi.

ha?I looked at him strangely, this little brat, do you really think that I am practicing hard because of Itachi?No, absolutely not!I'm here to survive, not to be killed by Itachi!Now that Itachi's threat is gone, I certainly don't need to torture myself.

I knocked on the table: "Eat."

"Knock down!"

The sound of knocking on the door overlapped with the sound of knocking on the table, and I instructed Sasuke: "Go and open the door."

Sasuke ran over and invited three guests in.

Nanami Mitsu brought two other people to admit his mistake, and bowed down to apologize sincerely: "I'm really sorry, I just want to test your strength with Jie and Fengta, and we apologize to you for our actions."

He explained a lot, what has been two months, it is impossible to send me back to school, what is the task of being a forbearer is very simple, and makes money, and can definitely support my younger brother, what they like me very much and want to be with me Do tasks and more.

I listened to them with a cold face, and at the end of their speech, I said, "Isn't this what you guys decided?"

"Huh?" Qihai was confused.

I said: "Since you didn't kick me out of the team at all, why are you still looking for me? Just give me the paperwork from Master Hokage, and I will definitely do it, right?"

Nanami understood me a little bit: "We are a team and we have to build a relationship with each other."

"No need," I said, "The mission comes first. If something happens to you, I will definitely save you. If something happens to me, don't worry about me—I can promise this."

Whatever you want, whatever you want, just leave me alone.

"Hey! What are you talking about?" Asai slammed the table and straightened his upper body. He looked at me angrily, digging his fingers on the table, drawing a few white marks on the table.

"We just wanted to play a joke on you, so we came up with the activity of snatching the bell. No one thought that you would care so much. If you think we teased you, we will apologize, but we will never allow you to belittle us like this." us."

He said loudly: "We will also protect you desperately. If you are in danger, we will never turn a blind eye! Why, why do you think we are so inferior!"

"I agree." Mito clenched his fists, "We are a team!"

I think they may have misunderstood... Of course I appreciate their fearless spirit, and I would like to be a hot-blooded boy like them.The thing is, I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm just... I'm just a bad adult who can't do anything, the kind that drags his feet.

"You guys," I gritted my teeth, stuck my tongue against my jaw, and almost blurted out what I wanted to say, but I still couldn't open my mouth. Finally, I looked at Sasuke and said, "I don't want to be a ninja who will die."

Sasuke suddenly looked at me, and I felt that I had slipped my words. After silence, I said to the other three people: "So please don't say any more emotional words, death is death, and no one should be sad for anyone."

Asai wanted to say more, Nanami stopped him, and then said to me: "In this case, I will try to choose simple tasks so that we can always be together, okay?"

Don't lie, how can a ninja keep doing simple tasks?I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't say no to Nanami's humble pleading eyes of "Is that okay"—forget it, this is the fate of all ninjas.

I nodded at him.

"Snapped!"

Mito clapped his hands and said happily: "Then our team is complete, let's celebrate!"

The so-called celebration is a few of us go shopping together.Teacher Qihai handed me the forehead protector that belonged to me. I couldn't find a place to wear it for a while, so I put it in the ninja bag. Teacher Qihai told me very seriously that the forehead protector is a sacred thing. It cannot be put aside so casually.

Then he asked me to raise my hand and tie the forehead guard to my wrist, because the forehead guard was wider than the wrist, so he bent the fragile iron piece tightly to my bones, and nodded in satisfaction .

Hey, it's divine!

I shook my arm, feeling pretty good, and smiled.Teacher Qihai patted my head and smiled too.

As an adult, being touched on the head by another adult is quite strange. I used to avoid Mrs. Mikoto's hand, but now facing Nanami, I accepted it calmly despite the distance!Have I also become a brat who seeks approval everywhere like Sasuke?

——No, no, absolutely not!I'm just defenseless!

I waved Qihai's hand away, seeing his surprise, I quickly said, "Teacher, let's go after Mito and Asai."

These two people had already run to the front, Qihai scratched his head, his unrestrained thorny head that looked like Chaotian pepper, and said: "Okay."

"Remember to call your teammates by their names." He added leisurely.

Because I had already had dinner just now, we didn't have a dinner party, but we went for a walk by the inner river of Konoha after shopping.

Feng Tai and Jie are usually better friends in the class, so most of the time they are talking, while Teacher Qihai and I listen silently.For a while, Qihai took the initiative to ask me: "Why does Xiyin hide her strength in school?"

"Is it because you don't like school?" He looked at me with a gentle smile, like the breeze blowing slowly at night.

Part of it is yes... I thought about it and said, "I don't like anything."

I don't like anything about school, I don't like anything about Uchiha, I don't like my eyes, I don't like Konoha, I don't like ninjas, I don't like this burdened world, the last thing I like is me This body... Without it, I would have died early in the last world, as an ordinary college student who died suddenly.

"Don't you even like Sasuke?" Nanami asked.

"..."

I skimmed my head, I actually don't know the answer to this one.In my impression, Sasuke is a character in an anime. Because I watched the anime in junior high school, I can’t remember many plots clearly. I only know that he later rebelled against the village, returned to the village, and later married a pink-haired girl. married.

As for other things, I just remembered the process of exterminating the genocide. After all, this is a scene that is repeated in anime, and it is difficult not to remember it.

After I crossed over, I put aside an unbearable memory, and spent the rest of my time in school. Many times, I held Sasuke's hand on the way to or from school, without saying a word, only Sasuke was chirping. Tell me about something that happened to you when you were in school.

Now Sasuke has become as reticent as I am, which is the result of my standing on the sidelines.

I'm sorry for him, that's what I feel in my heart.

I should have treated him better, better.

I put my head down and said, "I want to take care of him until he grows up."

...until he betrayed the village.
