[Hokage] One day to arrive

?Let's talk about it on the road, but on the way to the town where he stayed for more than three years, Lu Jiu kept silent, holding Li Huo in his arms, wondering what he was thinking.Yuan Weiyang was a little worried at first, it can be seen that he can avoid obstacles freely every time he encounters them, so he feels relieved and doesn't disturb his thoughts.

When we arrived at the town, it was already late at night, and Xiao Lihuo fell asleep in Lu Jiu's arms at some point. Yuan Weiyang and Lu Jiu just kept silent and climbed over the wall back and forth into the city wall without disturbing anyone. people.

After entering the city, the streets were empty, and even the earliest morning market hadn't started to open, Lu Jiu stopped, looked at the sky, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the time is just right... you Wait here for a while." Then, adding a layer of warmth to Lihuo, he stuffed Lihuo, who was sleeping soundly, into Yuan Weiyang's arms, and he accelerated the speed of his feet and ran in one direction And went, did not wait for Yuan Weiyang to catch up, then folded back, in his hand was an extra set of coarse cloth clothes that he didn't know where to find, judging from the size, the three of them could be worn by Li Huo.

Afterwards, Lu Jiu took Yuan Weiyang into the home of the team owner, and with the skills of the two of them, they naturally did it quietly.After finding the team owner's room, Lu Jiu didn't explain to Yuan Weiyang. First, he used his thoughts to make the owner's family in the house sleep more deeply, and he would never wake up halfway. Memory, from which a person is highlighted.

After doing all this, Lu Jiu was relieved, and could no longer lower his voice, and said to Yuan Weiyang very naturally: "Wake up Lihuo, he needs to know the next thing."

Yuan Weiyang nodded, just stretched out his hand to shake Li Huo in his arms, Li Huo woke up first, opened his still sleepy eyes and called out almost subconsciously: "...Mom?"

Yuan Weiyang froze all over, before she could figure out whether she should speak or not, Li Huo suddenly became agitated, raised her hand and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, wiping away the mist that had just woken up from her eyes, she was a little dazed The expression instantly became the silence before, and he looked at Yuan Weiyang seriously and said, "Uncle Yuan... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"It's okay, it's so late, the child should have a good rest." Feeling that the small body in his arms was a little stiff because he was not used to his embrace, Yuan Weiyang squatted down and put Li Huo down while talking, when he got up He touched the other person's head casually, "But now there are some things you need to know, so I woke you up."

Li Huo blinked his eyes when he heard the words, and soon turned to Lu Jiu intentionally.

Lu Jiu felt Yuan Weiyang and Lihuo's attention focused on him, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Five days ago, the convoy encountered robbers while transporting a batch of goods to the Land of Winds. None of them came back alive. I don’t know the people in the team, but just now I found a suitable candidate in the memory of the boss—Ichiro Aoki.”

"Lihuo, from now on, Aoki Ichiro will be your father." Lu Jiu's tone was indifferent, but he looked at Lihuo very carefully, and even deliberately slowed down his speech, "Aoki Ichiro's background is very innocent, He has always been from this city, but he has no skills and is very withdrawn. After his wife died more than four years ago, he rarely interacts with other people. He has no children, but don't worry about this, I will Modify the memories of the people in this city on a large scale. You just need to remember that you are the son of Aoki Ichiro, and because of your poor health since childhood, and Aoki Ichiro was too withdrawn, you have not seen many outsiders."

Li Huo nodded in a daze when he heard this, this kind of life...was too similar to his previous life.

"And after Aoki Ichiro was killed by robbers, you vowed to become stronger and wanted to become a ninja. So when you learned that there would be a delivery convoy to Konoha in a few days, you dealt with the broken things at home. There are other things in the house in exchange for money, and then pestered the team owner to hope that he would take you to Konoha at that time. But the boss moved his heart and agreed to you before going to bed tonight, and let you stay tomorrow Let's go to Konoha together."

Lu Jiu knelt down, put his right hand on Li Huo's shoulder, looked into his eyes and asked earnestly, "At that time, he will bring you to me and entrust you to me—do you understand?"

When he asked this sentence, Lu Jiu obviously felt the immature body of the child under him flinch slightly.He also knew how much a child like this who had just experienced a major change would be attached to the people around him, but this time it obviously didn't arouse his compassion like the experience of a child.

"...I see." Li Huo suddenly closed his eyes tightly, bowed to Lu Jiu suddenly, and then said loudly, maintaining the movement of bending at ninety degrees, "I will remember, from now on From now on, I will be... Aoki Lihuo!"

Seeing this, Lu Jiu smiled slightly, helped Li Huo up, and his tone suddenly became more relaxed: "At that time, your Uncle Yuan will form a shadow / come out and follow you secretly, so don't be afraid. And—— —" Lu Jiu did not know where to take out a stack of coins with a large denomination, "These are the pension you received after the death of Ichiro Aoki and the proceeds from disposing of all the property in the family, as all the belongings of Aoki Lihuo."

Yuan Weiyang also heard Lu Jiu's words, couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and obediently divided herself into a shadow/body and came out to stand beside Li Huo.Li Huo pursed his lips and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to accept the money from Lu Jiu without thanking him.After all, Li Huo knew that sometimes the debt he owed was too deep, and it was far from being offset by just saying thank you.Now he can only engrave this gratitude deeply in his young heart.

Seeing this, Lu Jiu stood up and nodded at Yuan Weiyang: "Remember to let your shadow/body wait for the quilt to come out and put on Lihuo's bunk. Although the convoy always leaves early, you won't be able to sleep for long now. , but always make a show. After all, there are not many people in this city who will have an impression of "Aoki Lihuo". I have completely fixed their memories, and there will be no problems. Now it is almost time to go back to Konoha. It might be better if you go back to hand in the quest in a fair manner later tomorrow, just when the boss comes to ask me, rather than sneaking back to the village at such a sensitive night."

When Yuan Weiyang heard the words, he concentrated his energy and sensed in the direction of Konoha, shook his head and said: "Maybe you don't need it, the barrier has been untied, the story of the change in the Uchiha clan has been revealed, and the village is already in chaos. Now I want to It's not easy to touch it back, but it's not difficult either. And with my character, I won't be suspicious if I rush back overnight to turn in the task."

Lu Jiu nodded, not paying attention to the sudden increase in the difficulty of returning to the village: "In that case, let's go..." After looking at Lihuo again, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly put the coarse cloth in his hand. The clothes were stuffed into Li Huo, "Li Huo, you change your clothes first. As for the one on your body... I will deal with it."

Lu Jiu and Yuan Weiyang delayed for a while, seeing that Li Huo had fallen asleep, they left the town with that set of Uchiha-style clothes.As soon as he walked into the woods, Lu Jiu burned the clothes in his hands without any delay, leaving no ashes behind.

Even though it was not the first time Yuan Weiyang saw such a flame, he was still awed by the power of the fire, and the two of them rushed towards Konoha without stopping.Lu Jiu was silent for most of the journey, only to seem to have just remembered what he mentioned before going out to explain Yuan Weiyang's confusion.However, he suddenly lost interest at this time, but after thinking about it, he still said sullenly: "Although I haven't said it, you know what's abnormal about me, and you should have thought about my origin."

"Ok?"

Yuan Weiyang obviously didn't expect that Lu Jiu would suddenly bring up these things at this moment, after all...he actually didn't care much about those things.

"I have been protected by important people, and I have watched them die before my eyes, and I have also died to protect important people. Although that kind of feeling may not be exactly the same, but..." Lu Jiu said this Sometimes the tone is calm, as if talking about others, "Honestly speaking, there are some problems with the memory of the 'me' of the previous life, some more, and some less, but there are always some things that I still remember deeply."

"... died?" Yuan Weiyang couldn't help but care about such words, and almost subconsciously stopped.

"You haven't realized that you are too close to me by now." Lu Jiu also stopped immediately after Yuan Weiyang's movements, turned around and looked at Yuan Weiyang almost ironically, "Our entanglement is far more complicated than that of Yuan Weiyang. You know something deeper... but that time it's evened out, so it doesn't matter."
