[Hokage] [Ning Tian] The unreachable person

Open your eyes every day.

The first thing you can see is the white ceiling, and there is an unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the air.

Hospital?

Just as he was thinking, a gleaming watermelon head appeared in the snow-white field of vision, "You are awake, Tiantian."

"Li," Tian Tian got up, sat down on the bed, and found that there was Teacher Kai sitting in a wheelchair behind Li, and the person on the other side of the bed, "...Ning Ci?"

"The wound on your body has been bandaged," Ning Ci explained, "I saw that you slept soundly, so I borrowed a bed from the doctor."

"You have been busy with the ninja shop for the past few days. I heard from Neji that you even had a discussion with him. It is a good thing to be motivated, but don't worry," Kai said, "Your youth is still very long!"

day by day:"……"

It always feels very delicate to hear such words from Teacher Kai.

"The war is over, it seems that everyone is a little slack," Li Sisi said, "I saw Shikamaru and Temari shopping together that day."

"That's not called shopping, it's a date." Tian Tian couldn't help complaining.

"Shikamaru can't even hit a shuriken," Lee said. "If it's Tiantian, it must be a hundred shots... Tiantian?"

Seeing Tiantian's trance-like expression, Li was a little worried.

Tian Tian smiled, "I'm fine." She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I dreamed about Neji."

"Ningci?" Li pointed to the young man on the other side of the hospital bed, wondering, "Isn't it right there?"

For some reason, Ning Ci also looked absent-minded.

Startled for a moment, Tian Tian twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly, choosing to remain silent on this topic.

"In fact, it's not a bad thing that everyone's strength has declined. It means that the ninja world is peaceful now, and there is no need to go all out as before," Kai said, "But you can't slack off in daily training, Li."

"Yes, Mr. Kai!"

"Let's go, Lee."

"Yes, Mr. Kai!"

After the noisy two left, the ward returned to silence.Ning Ci looked preoccupied and remained uncharacteristically silent.Tiantian tidied up and prepared to leave.

"You dreamed about the time when you were studying together to return to heaven." Behind her, Neji suddenly said.

"I dreamed about it too, when I fell asleep next to you." Facing Tiantian's amazed gaze, Ning Ci shrugged and said distressedly, "Don't ask me what's going on, I don't really know."

With that said, the two walked out of the ward.

Without the war, the heat of the hospital plummeted.The entire corridor was filled with a ghostly atmosphere, only occasionally one or two figures of doctors or patients flashed by, and even the temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

"Before you woke up, I heard Li talk about the Fourth World War." Ning Ci's tone was terrifyingly calm, "Ning Ci died under the cutting technique of ten tails. At that time, Miss Hinata, Naruto, Li... almost Everyone was crying."

— But why are you indifferent?

[At that time, Tiantian seemed to want to comfort me, said "Li..." and then said nothing. ] Li's original words are as follows.The watermelon-headed man scratched his head, and inadvertently said what was in his heart, [I thought Tiantian would be sadder than me, she and Neji are so good. 】

—But why don't you shed tears for him?

The calm words at this moment are no different from the torture step by step.Neji, who came from Tsukuyomi World, was filled with anger and confusion, as well as heart-wrenching pain.Or because the world he lives in is too peaceful, he doesn't understand, he just doesn't understand.

——Since you both like each other, why don't you want to say it even to death?

Ning Ci still had a surge of sourness in his heart.

Yes, he is jealous.

Tian Tian, ​​who was walking a little ahead, turned around and looked over without saying a word.

The light in the corridor was dim, blurring the expression of the other party, casting a layer of dull ashes in the always bright brown eyes.

【Sadness that cannot be expressed with tears. 】

These words suddenly appeared in Ning Ci's mind.

It was the first time he saw Tian Tian like this.

Because Tiantian is always an optimistic and positive existence, even if the corners of his mouth are straightened, the light in his eyes is firm and bright.

After such a person erases all expressions, it is really scary.

It should be just an illusion caused by the surrounding scenes...

Tian Tian withdrew his gaze, leaving only a faint sentence, "I also hope that I can cry."

A rusty forehead flashed before Ning Ci's eyes.

Recalling the scene of learning to return to heaven in the dream, that Neji actually said something wrong.

Tiantian is also a person who can hide his worries.

Learning back to God...

It is difficult to control the release of chakra from acupuncture points. Even Jonin can only release it from hands, feet or a certain part of the body.But that Neji can release chakra from his whole body, and this power alone can completely block the opponent's attack.

Comparable to the absolute defense of the fifth Kazekage.

"I'm indeed different from him, Tiantian..." Looking at Tiantian's walking back, Ning Ci murmured softly.

I can't do it myself.

***

July [-]th is a special day.

One of the signs is the surge in the number of male customers in the ninja shop of the beautiful single proprietress.Tian Tian is young, beautiful, powerful, and has made great contributions in the war two years ago. It is not surprising that there are such a group of ready-to-move people around.

Ning Ci crossed his arms and leaned against the cabinet in the corner, staring at the scene in front of him, his whole body shrouded in low air pressure.

"Miss Tiantian, please tell me how to use this shuriken."

"This is the most basic shuriken. I learned it in the first ninja class. If you don't know it, you can go back to the ninja school to re-read it."

"Ah, lady boss, can you help me bandage it up, I've been hit by this Kunai."

"...and please go to see Doctor Ren."

Ning Ci's brows were twisted into twists, and the veins around his eyes bulged.

That guy, go away, who allowed you to be so close to her? !

Ning Ci couldn't help but take a step and walked to Tian Tian's side.

"What are you doing, you fake." Nan Ren said angrily.

"What did you say?!"

I have to say that it was quite scary to be stared at by those white eyes covered with veins. Soon, those male ninjas left one after another knowingly.

"Everyone has different tastes, how can I like you, a guy who likes to wear sports underwear and has no sex at all."

I don't bother to argue with him every day.

Ning Ci's frown was not loosened. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Hey, Tiantian... don't you want to get married?"

Tian Tian, ​​who was drinking tea, almost spit out a mouthful of water, coughing and looking at him speechlessly.

Neji calculated the accounts methodically, "Look, it's been a while since Miss Hinata and Naruto's wedding, Shikamaru and Temari, Sai and Ino are in love, Li is also preparing for the wedding, and..."

Ning Ci tilted his head and thought: "Haruno Sakura went to look for Uchiha Sasuke, and she hasn't come back after so long, maybe something indescribable happened on the way. By the way, Haruno Sakura here likes Uchiha Is it Sasuke's?"

"how do you know?"

"The look in her eyes when she talked about Sasuke was the same as the eyes of Sakura in my world when she saw her face numb." Neji continued, "I heard from Naruto that Sasuke in this world has a very cold personality. It's probably the same as numbness. But he didn't reject Haruno Sakura's approach, so he should also have a good impression of this girl."

Ning Ci became more and more energetic as he talked, and his restrained side was exposed again after coming here, "Unfortunately, she just doesn't have enough material on her chest... Think about it, a lonely man and a widow have a crush on each other, in the wilderness, rubbish If the gun goes off, even if you finally come back with a baby, it's not impossible..."

I was dumbfounded every day.

Ning Ci narrowly shut his mouth.

It’s over.

I am used to the waves in the monthly reading world, and I said it out of habit.

#Said very rude words in front of the person I like, how to restore the image, urgent, online, etc.#

***

After that incident, Ning Ci didn't go to the ninja shop for a few days, but he never admitted that he was hiding from Tian Tian.

He said he just wanted to be quiet.

Besides Tian Tian and Li, the person Ning Ci often looks for is Naruto.The "face numb" in this world is surprisingly easy to get along with, and Miss Hinata is so gentle and considerate that Ning Ci's eyes are full of tears.

After living, I experienced brother and sister love for the first time!

"Let me tell you, Ning Ci, why don't you go to Tiantian?"

"Well, this..."

Naruto has a fox-like intuition when it comes to gossip, "Could it be a quarrel?"

"Cough, cough cough..." The tea in the cup rose into a faint mist. Behind the mist, Ning Ci's expression flashed a bit embarrassed, "No."

"Tiantian is very nice, you can talk to her well, she won't be angry with you." Naruto comforted.Hinata's figure appeared beside the paper door, nodded slightly, and Naruto stood up, "Would you like to go to Nangachuan to release the krathong together, Neji?"

Today is Obon Festival.

More than two years have passed since the Fourth Ninja World War. The ninjas of the five major countries exchanged for today's peace at a painful price and bloody sacrifices.

Nanhechuan at night.

The normally quiet riverside is now crowded with people, the lights flickering, the shadows of lamps and lanterns, and the orange light halo stains people's missing faces.The dotted water lanterns and sky lanterns look like fireflies flying in the dark night from a distance.

Naruto and Hinata each held a water lamp, walked side by side to the river, and squatted down.

The surface of the water is sparkling, reflecting the rippling firelight.

"Brother Ningci—" The purple-haired girl lowered her head slightly, a strand of hair fell silently from her ears.

what's up?

Ning Ci just wanted to answer, but Hinata continued: "I married Naruto-kun, and I am very happy now. Everyone is also doing well..."

"Hanabi is getting stronger and stronger now. My father said that she is the most perfect person who has inherited Hinata's talent besides you. Maybe in time, she can replace me and help my father protect Hinata. But this is the path I chose, I don't regret it." Saying that, the girl tenderly looked at her husband who had grown into a man next to her, and smiled at each other.

Standing behind, Ning Ci, who was eating dog food for the umpteenth time, heard such words, for some reason, suddenly his scalp tingled, the refreshing coolness began to spread from his fingertips and soles of his feet, his heart was frozen, and his body temperature seemed to be rising. reduce.

The two didn't notice it.They just squatted and knelt by the river, closed their eyes, put their hands together, and expressed their deepest gratitude to the relatives who lost their lives in order to protect themselves devoutly and intently. Even this is not enough to tell a thousandth.

It is also understandable that this is not something that can be distracted.

"The ninja world is very peaceful now. Because of my brother, the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the sub-family is much better now. Naruto-kun said that when he becomes Hokage, he will definitely fulfill his promise and abolish Hyuga's family system, no matter how difficult it is. I will help too." The girl said in a soft voice, every word was so sincere and regrettable, "If only you could take a look... Thank you, Brother Ningci... "

When she said this, Hinata's voice was already choked up, and mist filled her white eyes.

Naruto's affection for Neji is no less than that of Hinata, but it is never necessary to talk too much between men.He just stared at the water lamp silently, as if seeing frames of past events in the lights.

After a while, he said in a mature male voice, "Thank you, Neji."

Behind the two of them, Ning Ci took a step back, and then another step.

He looked around bewilderedly.

Surrounded by people remembering loved ones or companions who have passed away.Konoha ninja, who has always been cold and tough, took off his disguise at this moment, showing the most sincere feelings.

Many of them are members of the Hyuga clan.Under the dim light of the fire, Ning Ci, who came from Yuedu World, looked at their fluttering lips, and they seemed to be saying two words, Ning Ci.

Nings Nings Nings...

Their cold white eyes seemed to penetrate themselves, looking at someone else.

Nings Nings Nings...

The lights merged into one, and the dark world was spinning.

He doesn't fit in with his surroundings.

Ning Ci turned around suddenly, with too much force, causing his whole body to stagger.Before he could stabilize his figure, Ning Ci stumbled away, kicking away a handful of small river beach rocks with flustered steps.

The small stones splashed and fell back to the ground, making a small sound.It looks the same as the beginning.

Naruto Uzumaki turned his head, and found strangely that his companions had disappeared.

"...Where's Neji?"

Ning Ci ran fast, escaped from the river bank, passed through the woods, and ran wildly on the empty street.

One after another street lamps cast pale light, and his figure flickered.

Suddenly, it was as if someone hit his heart with a heavy hammer!Ning Ci's whole body twitched violently, his legs went limp, and he quickly supported the wall on the side of the road, narrowly avoiding falling to the ground.

His hair was wet with sweat sticking to the side of his face, he gasped for breath, his throat hurt like a knife, and bloody breath surged.

Ning Ci looked air-conditioned at the dark street ahead.

died.

The Neji of this world is dead.

Everyone understands.

The half-joking words of the male ninja in the ninja shop are especially clear at this moment——

Counterfeit goods.

This world is not his world after all.
