[Comprehensive] living to death

Uchiha Shinji is a very thoughtful young man, smart and ambitious. Unfortunately, as he himself said, he was born weak and sickly, not suitable for being a ninja, and has always been unknown in the Uchiha clan.

It is said that the reason why Inahura has formed his current tough character is related to his efforts to protect his younger brother since he was a child.Although Shinji is a slender and weak boy on the surface, in fact, his inner arrogance is as strong as any Uchiha; he really wants to prove to the world that even if he does not have strong military power, his amazing wisdom can stand up to thousands of troops.

It's a pity that he can't even be a ninja, and he has always been regarded as a child who read too much, indulges in his own delusions, and can only live under the wing of his brother.

However, Shinji has always believed that he must have amazing talent, but he lacks a chance to show it!

When he heard Mingyue's various performances from his brother Daohuo, he perfectly saw Mingyue's truth through his brother's complaints, that is--Mingyue was the one who could make him soar into the sky!

Mingyue: "..."

She picked up the kettle and refilled Shinji's glass opposite.

"Come on, drink water, I'm thirsty after talking so much." She smiled weakly, "It's really hard for you."

The beautiful boy Shinji gulped it down unceremoniously.

Mingyue is very busy at work, but in the past few months, Shinji has been relentlessly chasing her.Knowing that he couldn't stop Mingyue, who is a Chunin, he generously went to her house to find her, and won Mikoto's love by virtue of his elegant appearance and demeanor.

Meiqin even specifically told Mingyue to get in touch with Shinji more and learn such a graceful demeanor.

So Mingyue gradually learned about Shinji's growth story and thoughts from the conversation.At this moment, they were sitting in the courtyard of Mingyue's house, facing the pond and vegetation in spring, chatting over tea.

"I already understand your thoughts."

When Shinji wanted to continue talking, Mingyue interrupted him.She rubbed her brows, and said to the beautiful boy beside her, "Although my current goal is to improve the status of the Uchiha clan, but I have no interest in dominating Konoha or the world."

Shinji twitched his eyelashes and looked back at her silently.When he was silent, his slender beauty was so striking that one could mistake him for some harmless creature.

"I'm not someone with great ambitions." Mingyue smiled slightly, "From the beginning to the end, I just hope that everyone can live in peace. In order to protect such a stable reality, I have to do something, but if it goes against my original intention, That would be meaningless."

It is always very easy for people who have never been on the battlefield to talk about fighting. Only those who have truly experienced the weight of life and death can make choices with enough caution.

"...Peace?" Shinji murmured, and suddenly burst into a smile, "You know, long-term peace is much more luxurious than the ambition to dominate the world!"

For some reason, he suddenly used honorifics.

"That's right." Mingyue nodded calmly, "But my motto is, if there are difficulties, go up, if there are no difficulties, go up if you create difficulties. If you have hard mode, you can't be easy. If you have hell, you have to go straight to hell. Because..."

She curled her lips and said lazily: "This is exciting enough."

The word "wonderful" was said by her with a lot of meaning.

"It's really strange." Shinji said, "Before I thought you were more like the first Hokage, but now I think you are indeed a Uchiha, that crazy, arrogant, and competitive temperament is subtly hidden in your In the body."

He stared intently at the bright moon, his loose long hair was blacker than ink, but his cheeks were as white as a handful of fresh snow, and his eyes were as dark as two deep pools.He looked as if he had stepped into winter in spring and summer, cold and meaningful.

"Hahaha, is it?" Mingyue did not refute, but teased, "It's like you have seen the first generation of Hokage."

"If you want to understand the thoughts of great men, you can grasp the essence by studying history books and rumors." Shinji said proudly, "Besides, Konoha was established only 50 years ago, and many old people from that time are still there. With so much information, I If Uchiha Shinji still can't get a general idea of ​​what the first Hokage was like, where do I have the face to look for you?"

"You are amazing." Mingyue praised.

"Thank you." Shinji smiled again, "So, can you promise now?"

"Promise what? I won't promise such a thing as marriage." Mingyue kept smiling and rolled her eyes gracefully (?).

"No." Shinji said, "Please be my master."

He was still smiling last moment, but at this moment, his expression suddenly became serious.The golden sunlight shone on his face, and there was a strange piety in his deep black eyes.

Such an expression appeared on the face of a beautiful young man with a winter temperament, which was very attractive.But Mingyue just glanced at him indifferently, then her gaze swept over and stopped on a butterfly that landed in a flower bush not far away.

"You may have read too many history books of the Warring States Period, young man." Mingyue said, "If you want to find a lord, I am not a good one, because I hate looking up to and relying on others, and I don't like letting others Has no interest in bowing down to me."

Shinji, however, was not discouraged.As if he didn't understand Mingyue's words, he insisted: "Then, even if it's unilateral, I will help you realize your wish, Lord."

"Oh, this is really...Young man, your brother will cut me off." Mingyue held her forehead and said helplessly, "How about everyone fighting for their own ideals? Didn't you do a good job before, even though you are in the second year of middle school?" It is a declaration to dominate the world, but it is also a goal worth fighting for."

"No." Shinji smiled again, his demeanor as dazzling as snow, "Didn't the lord say that people should challenge the most difficult things. Therefore, realizing world peace is also my wish now."

"...Thank you for your generalization and sublimation, although I remember that my original intention was to protect the peace of Konoha." Mingyue shook her head, "The second-year boy is really helpless... Well, what do I need to do as the master?"

Her casual expression obviously means "I just barely cooperate with you to play house".Although it was made by a child to a teenager, such a gesture does not make people feel that it is against harmony.

"Do you need the master to do it?" Shinji pondered, "Of course there are many, but the most important..."

His brows and eyes became serious.

"Please also keep this sun-like brilliance at all times, this is enough."

******

Can a ninja who walks in the shadows have such a thing as "brilliance"?This philosophical question only flashed in Mingyue's mind.

The Fourth Hokage seemed to be pressured by the opinion group, and finally agreed to give Anbu a team entry test.Mingyue accepts the task of recovering a certain caravan, because Mizunoshi hid in it and stole Konoha's confidential information before.

The mission was described in this way, but either the information was not of high importance, or it was false information at all, so the higher-ups could let her, a chunin—even an elite chunin—lead the team to recover it in such a leisurely manner.

Before the trip, as the team leader, Mingyue gave temporary code names to her two team members.To her surprise, the two team members who behaved coldly and didn't care about anything showed amazing resistance on the code name, and demanded that if they had to have a code name, then she, the captain, should also have one.

"Why should I have it? You can just call me 'captain'." Mingyue disagrees, "I am the most conspicuous just because of my body shape. It is meaningless to use a code name to cover up the identity of the captain. Are there any questions?"

"...No more, Captain."

"Okay, let's go then." Mingyue said with satisfaction, "Sweet potatoes, potatoes, let's go! Pippi Shrimp team is going!"

"...Yes, Captain."

Although everyone was wearing masks, the frustration in the players' voices was all too obvious.It seems that everyone's psychological quality still needs to be strengthened!Mingyue thought so seriously.

The Pippi shrimp team quickly caught up with the target caravan, and followed their captain's instructions, lurking secretly to observe.The biggest difficulty of this task is how to distinguish the water ninja from ordinary businessmen.For ninjas, in non-war years, the most important thing is often not the ability to fight alone, but lurking, camouflage, and anti-reconnaissance.Even if ninjas have chakra that ordinary people don't have, they naturally have corresponding concealment methods. As long as they don't use large ninjutsu, even sentient ninjas are hard to distinguish.

At least, it is not easy to find out a few ninjas who are deliberately disguised when there is no conflict.

The team followed until they reached an open valley.The bottom of the valley is flat, with gentle slopes on both sides, and the humid climate nourishes the lush forests.In the past few years, merchants would rather take a long way than go here, because the rogues bred by the war love to pick on them. After all, not all caravans can afford to hire powerful ninjas who can outnumber ten.After the war, the order was rebuilt, and there were gradually more people here.

how should I do it?

"Tudou, use illusion." Mingyue whispered, "No matter what method, just distract everyone for 30 seconds."

"Yes."

"Sweet potatoes, use your worms. Listen to my instructions for a while, and mark all the people I point out with worms."

"Yes."

"action!"

Sharingan suddenly appeared behind the hole left by the mask.The field of vision becomes simple black and white, and the trajectory of life energy movement is light and clear.

The moment the caravan was shrouded in hallucinations, some people couldn't help it anymore, and a blue flame representing Chakra suddenly lit up in their bodies.

"One due north! Two side by side at 38 degrees to the east! Two at the front and back at 22 degrees from the due north to the west! One under the car wheel at 5 degrees to the west!"

The sweet potatoes go together just right.Almost as soon as the last person was marked, Potato's large illusion disappeared.A group of businessmen hadn't recovered from the illusion when they saw three eerie masked men in front of them.

...although one of them is a little shorter.

The dwarf at the head drew out his knife, and roared angrily: "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live on from now on, you must save money to buy roads!"

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, go!"

Sweet potato worms can not only mark, but also secrete a venom that paralyzes the body.With a clear objective, the enemy is quickly eliminated.

The real businessmen all shrank to one side, trembling slightly, only the caravan leader was still calm, but his eyes were shining with fear.

The still warm blood flowed along the blade, and was already cold when it fell on the ground.Mingyue put the information in her arms calmly, swung the knife, and there was no trace of blood on the special metal immediately.

"Give me money." She stretched out her hand to the leader of the caravan, and said confidently, "These are the traitors of our Alibaba Forty Thieves. Today we clean up the house and are in a good mood. If you give money, we won't kill you."

The leader of the caravan was taken aback for a moment, but his reaction was extremely quick. He immediately took out his wallet from his pocket and stuffed the whole thing into Mingyue's hands.He was afraid that it would not be enough, and wanted others to continue to take it, but Mingyue weighed the money bag, turned around and waved.

"That's enough, I'm too lazy to take too much, you want to crush me to death with money?" She said lazily, "Sweet potatoes, potatoes, call it a day!"

After speaking, she left the valley first.

The forest is a natural cover, and Konoha's ninjas run more easily on the branches than on the flat ground.Numerous tiny branches were brushed lightly, and in the forest composed of brown and dark green, three black shadows galloped like lightning.

"Captain!" said a team member, "Is this really okay? The order from above is to send the entire caravan..."

"Didn't the higher-ups tell them to recover information and kill the enemy?" Mingyue said, "That caravan has names and surnames, old and young, and it's not the first time they have come and gone to Konoha. They have 'enemy' written on their faces." 'Is it? No. So young people, you have to distinguish the enemy from yourself."

Her voice seemed a little muffled by the wind, her tone was so relaxed that she seemed to be talking about the weather, but the undoubtedness in it didn't diminish by half.

"team leader……"

"I command that I take full responsibility, and we will talk about it when we go back." Mingyue said decisively.

"……Yes."
