[Comprehensive] living to death

The so-called "family regular meeting", alias is "small and trivial complaints meeting", full of such things as "the bonus is so small, when will the salary be raised", "has xx jonin reached menopause and has a grumpy temper like a ghost", "my girlfriend Let me go out to live with her, but the village doesn't allow us to live freely, how can I repair it", "Last week, I had a conflict with the little bastards in Anbu, I really want to kill them all", etc. Harmonious or disharmonious remarks.

In addition, it is to officially introduce the two new ninjas of the family.

"The introduction that should have been made long ago has been delayed by the war. So, this is Jiu Lei's son Shisui, a genocide. This is my daughter Mingyue, who is also a genocide."

In the dark basement of the Nanga Shrine, a pair of eyes shining with fire light looked like beasts, faintly nailing Mingyue and Shisui.

Jiu Lei is Zhishui's father. He lost a leg in the previous war and lost his status as a soldier. Otherwise, Jiu Lei should be the one who introduced his child.

"Oh, Zhishui and Mingyue have grown up too."

"Girls..."

"Is it really good to involve girls?"

"My biggest impression of that child is always watching her standing with a bucket on top..."

puff!

Everyone laughed, even the serious Shishui turned his head to look at Mingyue and smiled, only Fuyue glared at her, his eyes really hated iron.

Mingyue: Blame me?

"Will our police force have two more eight-year-old children in the future? One of them is a girl. This is really rare."

The speaker is Yashiro with white hair.He is older than Fuyue, who is the patriarch, and is Fuyue's confidant, one of Mingyue's common characters.His face was hidden in the darkness, but the corners of his mouth illuminated by the fire were slightly raised, and his tone was more friendly.

"No, I'm not going to put them in the police force."

Fu Yue's decisive words caused a commotion among the tribe.

"I want them to be members of Anbe."

"Patriarch, what do you mean?" A young man with black mid-length hair asked excitedly, "Anbu is the deadly enemy of our police force! Handing over the rising stars of our clan to them, what will happen to our clan? ?”

This fierce-tongued young man is named Daohuo, only 20 years old, and is also one of Uchiha's young talents.It can also be seen from his words that this is a man with a tough personality and a strong sense of family honor.

The other clansmen also made a low-pitched "buzzing" sound.

"This is a good opportunity to improve the status of our clan!" Fuyue raised his voice, overshadowing all discussions, and said sternly, "Of course I also hope that all the outstanding children of the family will come to serve for the police force, but if this is the case, when will we Only then can there be a spokesperson for Uchiha in the center of power?"

When the patriarch spoke, the others fell silent.

"Shisui is very much taken care of by the third Hokage, and my daughter has the same teacher as the current Hokage." Fuyue's calm and self-controlled voice could not hear his previous dissatisfaction with Hokage, "This means that our family's Finally, there is a channel for the voice to be conveyed. In addition, we can also know the thoughts of the village's senior management in time, so as to respond."

Father's voice sounded above Mingyue's head.She could tell that Fu Yue's words had been carefully considered.

Pairs of fire-reflecting eyes fixed on the bright moon again.She looked back one by one, and then showed a polite smile.

Although a "polite" smile to her is not necessarily provocative in the eyes of others, for example, sitting in the front row of Dao Huo, his face illuminated by the fire showed strong dissatisfaction.

Perhaps because it was not good looking to be angry with an eight-year-old girl, Dao Huo's sharp gaze only lightly touched Ming Yue's face before turning to Shi Shui.

"Hey, Zhishui." He said bluntly, "You will truthfully report to us the movements over there, right?"

Daohuo was sitting on his knees, and eight-year-old Zhishui was standing, so they could look at each other at the same level.The boy who was still young and could still be called a "child" stared at his clansman, then lowered his eyes slightly, with no extra expression on his face.

"Yes." Zhishui replied.

"Hokage..."

In the darkness, someone's voice sounded, complaining softly.

"Shouldn't the fourth Hokage be the patriarch? In terms of meritorious service, could it be that Uchiha can't compare to that Namikaze...?"

"Don't say it!" Fu Yue scolded lightly, "In front of the children, don't say such things."

"Patriarch, since you are attending the family meeting as a ninja, there is no need to worry about the status of 'child'." Yatsushiro's tone was relatively calm, but his words were very straightforward.

"In short, don't bring up such complaints." Fu Yue refused, "Let's get down to business."

The first regular family meeting that Mingyue attended continued in the dark without any disturbance.

******

"How do you feel?" Zhishui asked.

On the evening of the holiday, the two sat by the river.This is the upper reaches of Nanhe River. The water surface reflects the sunset, which echoes the smeared glow in the sky, exuding a particularly gentle and warm atmosphere.

"It's not good." Mingyue threw a stone up and down, aimed at the opposite bank, and said casually, "The clan seems to be very resentful towards the village."

"Well, as expected, Mingyue can see it too." Zhishui frowned and said, "We are all companions in the same village, if there is such a gap between them, I'm afraid..."

Snapped!

Mingyue threw out the stone in her hand; the stone jumped a few times on the surface of the water, smashing the sparkling waves into pieces, and then jumped onto the opposite bank smoothly.

"Successful landing!" she announced.

"Mingyue!" Zhishui complained a little discouraged, "Did you listen to me?"

In front of outsiders, he usually has a mature temperament that ordinary boys do not possess, but when he is alone, he is often teased by Mingyue's words and deeds to reveal a childish side.

"I heard it, I heard it, don't worry, stop water." Mingyue patted the grass clippings on her hands, "Although the truth is there, it doesn't matter if only we know it; we are the ones who speak softly."

What are two young children doing at their first family meeting?Her father is the patriarch, not her.

"Exactly." Zhishui sighed.

"Yes. Here, look at my hair." Mingyue shook her head, pointing to the end of her ponytail—it was short and broken, as if it had been chewed by a dog. "Although long hair looks better, but with my current hair Strength, long hair will only become an obstacle to the battle, so I have to cut it off. When I am strong enough, I can keep it as long as I want, and I want to keep it as long as I want, and I can keep it as long as I want. Even if I circle the earth twice, it will not be a problem... "

"No, that's impossible." Zhishui interrupted her, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, "Also, such a serious topic has no comparison with the length of your hair!"

His expression of "too many slots and no mouths" dilutes the previous heaviness.Mingyue smiled at him.

"To be honest, I don't really understand this kind of question." She pulled out a piece of grass and turned it around in her hand, as if she was uncomfortable without any movement in her hand, and said in a calm tone , "I only know that no matter what the problem is, it can only be solved step by step. You have to eat one bite at a time."

Obviously what she said was the most common truth, but seeing Mingyue's calm look, Zhishui's expression gradually became clear.He showed a vigorous smile, nodded vigorously, and said, "Well! Let's start by improving our own strength! As long as we can gain a certain status in the family and the village, and have a certain right to speak, we can realize ourselves. idea!"

"I think so too." Mingyue solemnly declared, "But Shisui, let me warn you, the position of Hokage is mine, and no one will try to snatch it, I won't even let my brother!"

Shisui let out a pleasant laugh.

The clear and lofty blue sky in autumn is gradually darkening, and the gentle glow before it is slowly disappearing.There are still golden bells singing in the forest. Some children in the village like to raise these small crickets, put them in rattan cages or pots, and listen to their calls from time to time.

It's like catching unicorns and climbing mountains to see fireflies. It's a fun that only belongs to children in summer and autumn.And when they grow up, they will be busy with work and life, and they will not be able to remember these fun when they were young.And some people are too precocious to even enjoy such childhood fun.Although they themselves don't take it seriously, but in the eyes of others, it is a bit regrettable.

"Stop the water."

"Ok?"

Zhishui looked over in confusion, only to see his playmate who grew up with him slightly closed his eyes and raised his head towards the sky in the evening wind.Her expression was so peaceful, it could almost be called gentle, it was not like the bright moon in his memory.

The next moment, she opened her eyes and looked over with that smiling expression.

"I said, how about playing with my younger brother when you are free?" Mingyue patted Zhishui's shoulder with her paw, and winked at him with a friendly look, "Although he already has the most powerful and considerate brother in the world." , the elder sister who can be called Konoha's number one role model, but boys, after all, they still need to play with boys."

"Huh?" Zhishui's expression became a little weird, "Did you say Itachi?"

"Of course, do I have a second brother?" Mingyue took it for granted, thought about it and then corrected, "Well, maybe in the future, after all, my parents are still very young...cough cough cough, anyway, when Why don't you play with my brother?" She said with a playful smile, "It doesn't matter if you play with cats and dogs or run around the village, just play more."

Shisui's expression became even weirder.

"No, I don't think Itachi would like these activities." Zhishui refused calmly, "Although he is Mingyue's younger brother, Itachi is much calmer than Mingyue and has his own ideas. All the energy is used to improve yourself?"

Mingyue scratched her head, "Oh, that's true, but it's easy to think too much of yourself if you just practice stupidly... Wait!" She suddenly felt something was wrong, raised her eyebrows, and stared at Zhishui with rounded eyes, "Zhishui! How do you know my brother's character?!"

"Because I'm already familiar with Itachi." Zhishui smiled back at her, "The last time I went to find Mingyue, you were not there, and Itachi received me. As a result, the two of us hit it off very well, and we can be said to be friends. Woolen cloth."

Mingyue opened her mouth wide, and after a while, she let out a scream.

"Ahhhhhhh Uchiha Shisui, you snatched my brother behind my back!! I can't finish with you!!" She rushed towards Shisui, "I am at odds with you! Come to a duel!!"

"Hey, didn't you just take the initiative to let me play with Itachi..."

"I don't care ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The two children huddled together next to Nan Hechuan.Occasionally, Konoha ninjas who passed by flew through the forest, and when they saw them, there were more or less smiles on the corners of their mouths.

It's still peaceful.Everyone couldn't help but have such thoughts in their hearts.

******

Is it better to be peaceful...?

maybe.

One day not long after, Mingyue half-kneeled in front of the fourth generation, accepted the title of Chunin and swore allegiance to Konoha, the people sitting in the administrative building and the people under the Nanga Shrine gave birth at the same moment. Had the diametrically opposite thought.The former thinks about how to use the sacrifice of a few people to maintain the stability of the majority, while the latter is eager to get the honor that matches its own strength, no matter whether it will cause turmoil or not.

But at this moment, all thoughts are still undercurrents under the river surface, quietly surging.

Even Fu Yue, who is the patriarch, didn't think so far for the time being.He had just returned from a long journey and brought his daughter a gift to congratulate her on being promoted to Chunin.

Although it was actually a gift given to him by the client, it was also given to Mingyue by Fuyue.According to Fu Yue's character, it is difficult to be considerate to bring a gift to his daughter on a special trip.

But Mingyue doesn't care about the origin of the gift.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" she said enthusiastically.

What she holds in her hand to watch is a sharp knife.The body of the blade presents a beautiful arc, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, the blade is as cool as water, and there is a crescent-shaped blade pattern on one side of the blade, which looks very exquisite, but the cold air at the edge is enough to prove that it is a light and easy knife. A good knife that can hurt.

If not a little too short.

"Is this shape a tachi? The kind used by samurai on horseback in the past." Mingyue gestured and asked, "But if it's so short, is it a model?"

The length of Taidao is about 80cm, but this knife is less than 40cm, and it is not as straight as the ninja sword used by ninjas. Therefore, although the knife is very good, it is difficult to apply it in actual combat. I am afraid it can only be displayed at home.

"It should be a model." Seeing that she liked it, Fuyue showed a little smile on his face, "This task was completed beautifully, and the client also has a hobby of collecting swords, so he gave this one to me. I happened to see this one The blade pattern of the knife matches your name very well, so I might as well give it to you as a gift for promotion to Chunin."

"Then the client this time must be very rich. Even if it is a model, the knife workmanship is not cheap!" Mingyue sighed, "Evil rich people!"

Fu Yue pressed her head angrily.In the past few years, he has always felt itchy when facing his own daughter.

"And there is an inscription on the knife... is it a famous artist? Who would ask a knife maker to make such a good model?" Mingyue muttered, "Let me see, is the inscription 'Sanjo'? I haven't heard of it."

"Dad, does this knife have a name?"

"Can't you address your parents well?" Fu Yue reprimanded her angrily before answering, "The name, I remember it was 'San Ri Yue Zong Jin'."
