Brother, you are my jade - Asma of Hokage

"Ayi, come and play chess with brother."

"OK, all right."

In the early morning, Asma and Ayi happily played shogi while they were on standby.Ah Yi’s mood has finally improved these days, and Asma didn’t continue to ask about what happened that day. After all, a child of this age can’t treat his own thoughts correctly. Not good, so it's better to distract yourself with other things and relax through communication.

"Hehe, the past few years have passed, and Ah Yi's chess skills have improved..." Asma said this sentence half-jokingly, but in fact, a lot of sweat had already flowed from his forehead.

"Brother Asma, if you don't hurry up and think of a way, you will lose~~" Ayi picked up a eaten chess piece, threw it up and caught it, with a smirk.

"Hehehe... Alas—" Asma sighed, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, thinking about the next attack plan.

It's just that his defeat is already set, and he racked his brains to think about a few moves, but he is still powerless——

"Checkmate! Brother Asma, I won!"

"Ah?... Uh... Alas... I still lost..." Asma lowered her head in disappointment, and had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Hahahaha, I finally won my brother's chess, hahaha..." Ah Yi laughed heartily. He played chess with Asma for the first time six years ago, and then the two separated for six years. After meeting again, this time He won for the first time.

"Since Ah Yi won, brother should give you a gift."

"I don't want a gift, I just want...I just want my brother to hold me all the time!" Saying that, A Yi immediately got up, walked around the chessboard and leaned towards Asma.

"Eh? Ah Yi, wait a minute... You are already this old..."

"No, I want Brother Asma to hug me!" A Yi immediately stretched out his hands and rushed over, hugging Asma's body, the two almost fell down, even the chessboard was almost knocked over, and the chess pieces scattered Everywhere.

"...I've convinced you." Asma couldn't help it, although it was like this every time, now he could only sit as well as possible, and stretched his arms to hug Ah Yi tightly.Although Asma's arms are so thick and powerful, but when it comes to A Yi, there is always nothing to do.

The two kept this posture like this, during which Ayi's face kept rubbing against Asma's chest back and forth. rustling sound.A few minutes later, Ayi let go of Asma contentedly.

It's just that Asma's face has already turned red because of A Yi's actions this time.

"Brother, why was your face so hot just now? Could it be that you are sick? Let me take a look..." A Yi touched Asma's body to check it out, but he never thought that doing so would make Asma feel sick. Ma's face became redder and hotter, "Hey, I can see that you are not sick, brother? Why is your face so hot?"

"Ah? No, it's nothing...It should be two people hugging each other, it's a bit hot." Asma blushed nonsense, he was very embarrassed from the beginning, but two men of such age looked like lovers Just now, Ayi made an exaggerated move that he had never done before, which caused Asma to feel her blood rushing to her head, making her face flushed.But he didn't dare to reject A Yi casually. After all, A Yi lost his temper inexplicably a few days ago, and he was worried about what would happen if A Yi became unhappy again - adolescents are not easy to deal with.

"By the way, Brother Asma, I have a question..." Ah Yi suddenly remembered something, and asked cautiously.

"Huh? W-what's the problem?"

"About 'Jade'..."

As soon as Ah Yi uttered the word "jade", she immediately noticed the sudden change in Asma's mood. She was angry at that person, but also puzzled, maybe... there were other things.This sudden change of mood made Ah Yi shut up immediately.

"Uh...sorry, Ah Wing... let's leave this question alone, shall we?" Asma also immediately realized her gaffe, apologized hastily and changed the subject.

"Oh…"

——Brother Asma, do you really care about that matter?

At this moment, the eagle hovering in the sky uttered a loud and clear cry.As ninjas in the village, the two raised their heads habitually, and their expressions immediately became serious.

"That eagle is not the same as usual. It seems that there is an urgent matter. Ayi, let's go there quickly!"

"Ah."

The two rushed to Hokage's office without stopping.

"Asuma, Tsubasa, there is an urgent S-rank mission that needs to be completed immediately!" The Third Hokage said with a serious expression.

Ah Yi was almost stunned in astonishment, this was the first time he had received an S-level mission, and it happened to be such a coincidence that he was performing it with brother Asma!Thinking of this, Ah Yi's surprise immediately disappeared, replaced by endless joy.

"The content of the mission is to investigate serial murders and snatching of babies in a village on the border... Previously, this mission was rated as A-level, but we have sent a total of 7 Anbu to carry out this mission twice, and the result..." Third Hokage After taking a breath, his eyes became heavy, "None of them came back."

"what?!"

"According to the existing information, it can be inferred that there is a strong hostile force near the village. To be on the safe side, I will upgrade this mission to S-rank and send two jounin to complete it—the two of you!"

"But, why me? I'm just a Chunin..."

"There are not many ninjas on standby in the village right now. You have excellent strength, Ayi, and you cooperate with Asma tacitly. For this mission, we don't know anything about the enemy so far, so we need a perceptual ninja to spy on us. intelligence; in addition, while finding out the cause of the case, if there are still people alive in the Anbu dispatched earlier, you must do your best to rescue them—so you, A Yi, who is proficient in perception, medical ninjutsu, and possesses the power of jounin, are naturally the best s Choice!"

"We understand, we're leaving immediately!"

The two came out after receiving the mission, and Ah Yi was still very excited. After all, this is a rare opportunity to perform S-level missions with Asma.

"Let's go, Ayi!"

"Okay!" Excitement is nothing but excitement, but the business still needs to be done seriously.

After half a day, the two finally arrived at the village.The village chief was already waiting at the gate of the village. The village chief was old, leaning on a cane, with gray temples, long beard fluttering in the wind, and a haggard face.

"Welcome to the two Konoha ninjas. I am the village head of this village." The village head bowed politely to the two.

"Hello, village chief." Asma and A Yi also bowed to the village chief in return.

"You two have worked hard along the way, let's go into the room and talk..."

When Asma and Ayi followed the village chief into the village, the village chief knelt down with a "plop".

"Village chief, this is..." Both of them were startled, A Yi came back to his senses, and hurried up to help the village chief, but the village chief pressed down firmly and refused to get up.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." The village head kept apologizing, his voice became more and more choked, and finally burst into tears.

"Village chief, please speak slowly. You keep apologizing like this, and we don't know the specific situation. It's not reasonable." Asma knelt down, supported the village chief's back, and said calmly while comforting her .

"It's all our fault...it's all our..."

"...Village chief, you'd better calm down first, let's talk about the whole story later." A Yi whispered in the village chief's ear, and then the two took turns to comfort the An old man who bowed his head and knelt on the ground, crying like a tearful man.

After a long time, the old man calmed down and told about a tragic incident that happened in the village these days.

This was originally just an inconspicuous village. Although poor, the villagers are simple and kind. They have no interest in fighting for fame and fortune and causing trouble. They originally thought that such a peaceful life would last forever, but who would have expected...

In the middle of the night a month ago, accompanied by the tragic scream of a woman in a room, the surrounding villagers were awakened by fear. After entering the room where the scream came from, he was immediately frightened by the scene inside the room and fled around——

Originally, there was a couple living in this room. The wife was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth. But on the night of giving birth, the couple who had just given birth to their precious son were immersed in the joy of becoming parents, but they never thought that there would be a child. A dark figure scurries into their hut.In the next moment, the husband's body was pierced by several unknown sharp weapons, and the child in his hand was easily snatched away. The exhausted mother, who had hardly understood what had happened, became the same as him. Like her husband - the whole house was bloody and horrible.

The tragedy of this night alone is enough to make the villagers who have never experienced bloody conflicts terrified.But they never thought that in the following month, several parents in the village who were about to give birth were all killed in the same way, and their children were all taken away without exception.

This series of tragic incidents plunged the villagers into despair.They have never left the village for decades, but the young people who can no longer bear the status quo believe that Konoha's ninjas can help them find the murderer and solve the incident, so they disregard the dissuasion of the conservative elders in the village and go to the village. Konoha called for help.

Afterwards, Konoha sent three members of Anbu to investigate, but in the middle of the night when they arrived at the village—they were also subjected to the same bloodbath... A few days later, four more Anbu from Konoha came to investigate further, but they did not After a while, they all disappeared, and the residence where they stayed before disappearing left blood stains all over the room.

The villagers finally despaired completely, no matter whether it was themselves or others, there was no way to help them escape from this hell, all they could do was wait to die, and——

"It's our fault! It's clearly a matter in our village, but people from outside were called to help, and they all lost their lives! It's us who killed them!...It's our fault! I'm sorry. ..I'm sorry!" The kind and simple old village chief said excitedly, and became tearful again.

When Asma and Ayi heard these words from the village chief, their faces were heavy. After all, even their companions were in trouble, and in this situation, the four missing people might be in danger... But as ninjas, even if they No matter how sad you are, you must convince the villagers of their abilities and cheer them up again.

"Village chief, it is our ninja's responsibility to help civilians. We put life and death aside as early as the day we became ninjas, so you don't need to blame yourself. Both of us are the top ninjas in the village and are elites. Similar incidents, We have experienced many times in our lives. Since we have experienced these events and survived, then of course we know how to deal with this event!" Asma lightly pressed the shoulder of the village chief, palm Intimacy and strength coexist.He looked at the village chief with a gentle smile, and then patted himself on the chest: "Don't worry! We will leave this matter to the two of us!"

"Well, village head, when we investigate this matter, we still need your forgiveness. You are the most familiar with the affairs of the village, and we also need your guidance to investigate this matter as quickly as possible. Therefore, I hope You can cheer up quickly, only in this way can everyone who died can rest in peace as soon as possible, and the murderer can be severely punished as soon as possible!"

"Hey, hey... Thank you, thank you..." The village chief finally stopped his grief, took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears, "From now on, I'll leave it to you..."
