[Hokage] [Ning Tian] The unreachable person

Neji walked into the room.

He belatedly realized that doing so was unreasonable and inconsistent with his usual style.The dead should not interfere with the normal life of people in the world.

But this opportunity is so rare!

They only have one chance to return to the human world once a year. They can see those people but can't touch them, hear their words but can't communicate, watch them express their thoughts about themselves but can't do anything.

Too sad.

The room was dim, and the girl's light and even breathing echoed.Ning Ci didn't go any further, and planned to stay by Tian Tian's side for a while before leaving.

But at this time, Tiantian had already woken up.

Although peace will make people slack, the most basic vigilance of ninjas is still there.

While pretending to be asleep, she quietly reached out to Kunai under the pillow.

Almost as soon as Ningci turned around and moved away, the kunai flew towards him.

Ning Ci was startled, and quickly dodged sideways.

Take this opportunity, roll around in the dark every day, grab the scroll in the cabinet and unfold it!

Subsequent attacks continued to hit, and Ning Ci had no choice but to say: "It's me, Tian Tian."

The light is not good and the vision is not clear, so we can only remind the other party with sound.

The hail of bullets finally stopped.

A heart that was hanging in his throat suddenly fell down every day, and Hinata almost rolled his eyes.

At this moment, should she rush up and slap this man, or calmly ask what's the matter?

No, she should be most grateful that she is wearing pajamas, and the places that should be covered are tightly covered.

——On weekdays, it's fine to peep with the white eyes and play tricks, but this guy actually did such a thing as breaking into a girl's room at night? !

Is it because the Yuedu world is so peaceful that the people there are so open?

Seeing Ning Ci standing still, Tiantian walked over displeased, "Hey, I said you—"

She suddenly lost her voice.

She saw the man clearly.

... Ning Ci?

No, not Neji.

No, it's not Neji from Tsukuyomi World, but, it's...

The Neji she knew.

But how is it possible?

how is this possible……

Tian Tian's pupils suddenly dilated due to emotional fluctuations, "Ning...time..."

Then she shook her head vigorously as if trying to recognize reality.

Ning Ci looked at her quietly.He didn't need to say anything at this time.

Even though he told himself countless times that "Ningji is dead", Tiantian was still defeated by his intuition in the end, "Really...is it Neji?"

This time, Ning Ci nodded.

"How...it's possible..." At the end of this sentence, I suddenly started crying.

For some reason, I suddenly had an urge to cry.

When I saw this person standing in front of me, his white clothes were the same as before, his eyes and eyebrows were the same as before, the calm and firm aura after being honed, engulfed the memories of the days and nights we used to spend together day and night, we used to practice together, and the third class was born and died together. Suddenly I couldn't bear it anymore.

How is it possible, how is it possible...

Neji is no longer here.

Is it a dream, is it an illusion?

The dream should have woken up long ago, and the illusion had already been undone.

Tian Tian stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.She grabbed Ning Ci's arm, and there were many wrinkles on the flat sleeves, and there was a tendency to grab more and more tightly, but Ning Ci didn't even frown.

It is warm.

Every day I break my tears into laughter.

But the happier the smile, the more tears in the eyes.

Too bad, too sentimental is not for her.

Ning Ci raised his arms and embraced her silently, resting his chin on the other's head and closing his eyes.A series of movements were very gentle, without saying anything.

Except when they help each other in the sense of peers, this is their first hug.

Take a deep breath every day and calm down slowly.

"You're back."

"Ah."

Only tonight.

***

Ning Ci remembered that when he was dying, he saw a bird flying high above the land where the life was devastated.

I don't know if it was his hallucination, but at that time he had no strength to think anymore.

Father, did I do it...

The world after death is pitch black, and there is a faint glimmer of light in an unknown distance.Unable to figure out the direction, he could only walk here.

getting closer.

It was a campfire, and his father.

There is no need to look back, Hinata Risai also knows who is coming.

Ning Ci seemed to hear his father sigh, "Have you reached this time..."

Ning Ci moved his fingertips.The always strong and reliable boy may only feel this subtle sense of bewilderment when facing a father he admires and loves.

"If possible, I would actually like to wait for you a little longer."

Ning Ci said awkwardly: "Father..."

"However," Hinata Hinata suddenly accentuated and interrupted his words.At the same time, looking back, Neji clearly saw the proud smile on the other party's face, "I'm proud of you, Neji."

At that time, Neji's mood was a rare insolent joy.

It was not in vain that he finally broke through the cage and soared once.

……

"...Then my father took me to that world."

The two sat side by side under the eaves, looking at the courtyard landscape at night, with the vast night sky above.Neji is actually not very good at telling stories, but he expressed his interest every day, so he tried his best to organize his words, "Master Jiraiya is also there. He is still depressed, saying that no one called him back no matter what the war, even if that It’s fine if the person is Orochimaru!”

Because of the Four Wars, most people in the Pure Land were summoned back to the present world.

However, Jilai also failed to obtain the gene because the corpse disappeared into the sea, so he did not appear until the end.

"Later, everyone returned to the Pure Land one after another. Finally, Hokage and Sage of the Six Paths arrived together, telling us that the war is over."

He talks about it every day.She told Ning what happened after the Great War.Kakashi-sensei became Hokage, her number one rival, Temari, really fell in love with Shikamaru, there was a guy from the moon who wanted to destroy the earth, and...

Naruto and Hinata got married.

"Have you seen them?" Tian Tian asked.

Neji nodded.

Before coming, he went to visit Naruto and Hinata, Li, Kai-sensei, Hinata... and finally came here.

Ning Ci said softly, "Hinata worked hard."

Speaking of this, I slap every day!There is a question that must be asked!

"It was also your idea to ask Li to give dumbbells as a wedding present?"

"...No." Ning Ci vetoed it straight away, his face twitched slightly, "That was Li's own wild imagination."

Why throw this pot to him, it doesn't match his aloof personality at all, okay?Li himself is a bastard, but he dreams of him so funny!

Tiantian burst out laughing.

They talked for a long time.

When talking about daily anecdotes, they laughed together, and when talking about strange events, they even began to analyze the cause and effect as before, and listed various implementation plans.

"Li actually suggested Gaara to dance samba, and Gaara even thought about it seriously! Kirabi also appeared, adding fuel to the fire, what a headache!"

Did everyone have weird attributes after the war? She couldn't even complain!

Imagining the terrifying scene after scene, Ning Ci raised his forehead.

After the laughter and laughter, the air returned to silence.Both of them didn't speak again, only the murmurs of the summer insects in the grass and the crisp knocking of the frightened deer.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

"Ning Ci, don't you blame me?" Tian Tian suddenly said inexplicably, she pointed to herself, with a bitter smile on her lips, "When you died, I didn't shed a single tear."

I can't cry.The news of Ning Ci's death was like a huge hammer head-on, knocking her into a daze in an instant.

Forget everything.

Forget to cry, forget to breathe, or even express your feelings at the time.She stood there with a blank mind until she was awakened by Li's heartbreaking cry, but she could only murmur a syllable, "Li...", and then she was speechless.

"But I always feel that you are not dead, you are still in the third shift, and you are still with us..."

The first rays of dawn pierced the night sky mercilessly.

time to go.

Neji stood up.

"day by day."

"what?"

"I've been fighting alongside you all the time."

"!!!"

Ning Ci flicked his sleeves, turned around, and strode towards the end of the corridor.

The more this time, the more clean and neat it is.

Ninjas always hide their emotions habitually.

Before taking two steps, the corner of his clothes was pulled by a force.Tian Tian was still sitting in the corridor, leaning sideways, with one hand propped on the floor, while the other hand stretched forward and grabbed him.

Since Ning Ci was already standing in the corridor, it was very difficult to speak like this, so he had to take two steps back with Tiantian's strength, squatted down, and was almost parallel to Tiantian's line of sight, "Is there anything else?"

Biting her lips every day, she opened her mouth with firm eyes, "Ningji, I don't know if it's correct to say this now, maybe it's not the right time, but I'm worried that I won't have another chance in the future.

"During the Fourth World War, I remember Naruto's words very clearly - Never regret what you should have done but didn't do.

"Ningji, actually...

"There's something I've always wanted to tell you.

"I……"

Ning Ci suddenly said, "I know."

"what?"

"I always knew."

Saying that, Ning Ci laughed.Different from the arrogant and indifferent smile before, this is a very gentle smile, the affection hidden in the eyes surges for a moment, under the thin morning sun, it is enough to make people's mind turbulent.

Anyone who is loved by such a boy must be very lucky.

But at this moment, there are people in his eyes.

All of them were filled with a girl with loose brown hair and wide-eyed eyes in surprise.

Tian Tian was shocked to find that Ning Ci raised his chin, and the handsome face was getting closer.She could feel the touch of his cool fingertips, and his breathing that was getting closer.

wait wait wait!

What does he he he want to do—

Ning, Ningci, you, you, you...

The feathery kiss ended up just falling on the forehead.

day by day:"……"

what……

"Really?" She pouted, "I thought I hid it well."

He actually said "always knew".

Ning Ci chuckled, "I said that you are not the type who is good at hiding things."

Express dissatisfaction every day.

In fact, the reason lies with Neji himself.

Because I always look at the girl I like habitually.

No way, I will care.

Ning Ci turned and left.This time no one stopped him.

He couldn't deny that just now his gaze was indeed on the light red lips for a second.

however……

It was not possible before, and it is not possible now.

The moment before Ning Ci's figure disappeared around the corner, Tian Tian's voice sounded.

"Do you come here every year?"

"..."

"I will wait for you."

Every year.

Day after day, year after year.

Yawning every day, he walked back to the room, ready to go back to sleep.

Ning Ci, walk slowly, don't send me off.
