[Hokage] Dark Flower

Xia Chuanyu didn't show any signs when he came back.

That day when the tornado and the three of them were nesting in the purple-haired girl's hut for comprehensive intelligence analysis, the skylight above their heads suddenly made a noise, and the three of them were on alert immediately. I saw the head of a black leopard poking out.

The young black leopard tilted its head, got in and jumped to the ground, turning into a Xiachuan fish in the blink of an eye.

He grinned, "Yo, tornado, long time no see!!"

"..." Tornado stayed for three seconds before he could react. He clenched his fist and wanted to punch him, but the purple-haired girl threw herself into Xia Chuanyu's arms like a wind, and burst into tears.

Xia Chuanyu was extremely embarrassed, he touched the purple-haired girl's head, "Don't cry, silly girl, I'm fine."

Uchiha Shinichi and Hyuga Hiyashi looked at each other, and stood in the corner at the same time, giving space to the three of them.

Tornado pursed his lips, stared deeply at Xia Chuanyu's slightly pale face, and said dejectedly after a while, "No next time!!"

Xia Chuanyu nodded greatly, "Yes! I will be careful!"

Now that Xia Chuanyu came back alive, Tornado immediately sent the news back to the front line. At the same time, the four of them left the purple-haired girl's den. After all, frequent gatherings here could easily arouse suspicion.

Finding an abandoned warehouse, Uchiha Shinichi and Hyuga Hinata began to settle accounts with Natsukawa Yu.

"Captain, do you really think of us as your team members?" Uchiha Masaru's face turned pale, "Why did you exclude us? Or is it because we are so weak that the captain doesn't like you?"

Xia Chuanyu blinked, looked at Hyuga Nizashi with a gloomy face and Shinichi Uchiha with an indifferent tone, he thought for a while before saying, "I am the most suitable." He added, "Whether it is in terms of strength or background From the point of view, even from the point of view of blood, I am the most suitable."

Uchiha Shinichi's face instantly became extremely ugly. It is one thing to think in his heart, but it is another thing to be said bluntly by his captain. He feels extremely sulky, bloodstains are a sharp weapon in battle, but since when did bloodstains But it became his prison?

Standing aside, Hyuga Hizashi clenched his fists, stared at Xia Chuanyu gloomily, and said hoarsely, "I can."

As soon as these words came out, Uchiha Shinichi was even more embarrassed as if he had been punched.

"I know." The corners of Xia Chuanyu's lips turned upward, and his black eyes shone with warm light, shining like morning stars in the dark night, "But I can't let you go just because you have a bird in a cage."

The boy's characteristic clear voice slowed down, appearing extremely soft and clean, "It's not worth it."

Hyuga Hyuzai looked at Xia Chuanyu in a daze, and suddenly felt that his heart was about to fly out.

Tornado narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his body, blocked Hinata and Hinata's sight, glanced at the two of them inexplicably, and said, "Is your injury healed?"

Xia Chuanyu nodded and gave a thumbs up, "No problem!"

The tornado was noncommittal. He glanced at Xia Chuanyu, and suddenly stretched out his hand. He quickly pointed at Xia Chuanyu's vitals. His fingertips were surrounded by wisps of high-speed rotating wind blades. The sneak attack of the tornado.

Tornado tugged at the corner of his mouth, showing a very dangerous smile, "Is this all right?"

Xia Chuanyu had a bitter face. The skirt of his chest near his heart was ripped apart by the wind blade from the tornado's fingertips, revealing the bandage wrapped inside. Even because of the excessive movement just now, the bandage began to be stained with blood.

Uchiha Shinichi and Hinata Hinata finally realized it. Uchiha Shinichi was furious. With a dark face, he said abruptly, "I think Captain Tornado should be the assistant for the next task."

Hinata Hinata also nodded, "It happens to be four people, for safety's sake, it's best not to leave alone."

Both of them were staring at Xia Chuanyu. From the looks of it, if he objected, they would probably do it directly.

Xia Chuanyu's heart was warm, and he had a smirk on his face, "Uh, listen, I'll listen to you..."

After returning to the team, Xia Chuanyu was rested under the pressure of the tornado for three days. During these three days, Uchiha Shinichi and Hyuga Hizashi took turns staring at him, for fear that he would slip away again. Feeling the worries hidden under the anger of his teammates, Xia Chuanyu was grateful and at the same time , also miserable.

Being stared at like this, how can he adjust his breath into concentration? !

Fortunately, within a few days, an order was sent from above, asking him to go back to visit the camp.

The tornado slapped the dispatch order on his face, strictly ordering him to set off immediately.

Xia Chuanyu frowned. He pondered for a while, muttered to the tornado for a while, and then left with the two team members.

Pharmacist No Naiyu owed him a big favor, and the two successfully formed an alliance. Xia Chuanyu felt that apart from the mission, the espionage support work in the Land of Thunder was quite rewarding.

——As for Rabbi Riki's obsession with him... he selectively ignored it.

The three of them crossed the front and returned to the camp. Uchiha Shinichi and Hyuga Hinata both went to rest, and Xia Chuanyu began to report to Captain Tanuki.

Before reporting, Captain Tanuki looked Xia Chuanyu up and down carefully, and he let out a sigh of relief after confirming that the kid was indeed all right.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Xia Chuanyu told the story exactly, and the plan between him and Yakushi Nonoyu naturally kept aside. As for the others, including internal fighting and cleaning at the root, the city of grain and grass in the country of thunder, and the eight-tailed jinchuriki and cloud ninja Anbu and other important information, he reported all to Captain Tanuki.

After listening to it, the civet cat captain was very emotional, "You have encountered so many things in just two months? It's not easy."

The risk is so great, he can see it at a glance. Supporting espionage missions is inherently dangerous, and he will die if he is not careful. To be able to come back alive, this luck and strength is really extraordinary.

Looking at Xia Chuanyu, Captain Tanuki had an absurd feeling that time was passing by.

He clearly knew that as long as Xia Chuanyu continued to grow like this, or even continued to live, ten years, no, five years later, this kid was destined to make the entire ninja world shudder.

Just like Sakumo Hatake who died five years ago.

Anbu couldn't keep such a person.

Thinking of the minister's expectations for Xia Chuanyu, Captain Tanuki felt a little bitter, but also extremely proud.

This is the child brought out by him! !

He suddenly made a decision, a decision that he will be glad and proud of from now on.

He said to Xia Chuanyu, "Speaking of which, you are 11 years old, right?"

Xia Chuanyu was taken aback for a moment, he always felt that it was not long after the new year, but in reality, more than half a year had passed.

In fact, he will be eleven after the new year, and he will even be twelve in three or four months! !

Time flies so fast, or in other words, you can't even notice the passage of time on the battlefield.

He nodded, "Yes."

Captain Tanuki said, "Given that Konoha has the upper hand here, Iwanin has been calming down a little recently. I heard that Jiraiya-sama is going to bring some people back to Konoha."

Xia Chuanyu was confused, what did the captain want to say?

"The triennial Chunin exam has begun. This time, the Chunin exam is held in the Land of Wind. Are you interested?"

Xia Chuanyu shook his head again and again, he was doing well in Anbu, what's the point of going to take the Zhongnin exam if he has nothing to do?

Captain Tanuki didn't force it, he smiled and said, "It's fine if you're not interested, the front line is also very important... Speaking of which, do you know who Konoha plans to send this time?"

Xia Chuanyu raised his eyebrows, does this have anything to do with him?

"Namikaze Minato leads the team, and his three apprentices are going to take the test." Captain Tanuki said nonchalantly, "In this way, there will be fewer people on the front line of Iwanin, and the guy in the big team should jump again, hahahaha!"

Xia Chuanyu's heart moved, and he immediately laughed. Is the captain reminding him that Hatake Kakashi is going to take the Chunin exam?

Thinking of the child who was half a head lower than him, Xia Chuanyu felt quite complicated. He shook his head and put aside these thoughts, "Captain, is there anything else?"

Seeing that Xia Chuanyu remained unmoved, Captain Tanuki first suppressed his thoughts. If it's too late, the future will be long!

He turned and said, "The leader of the front line, Mr. Orochimaru, has a weird personality, so be careful."

Xia Chuanyu frowned. He had come into contact with Orochimaru when he was on the front line of the sand ninja before, but at that time he was still a small Anbe, hardly spoke, and watched him once or twice from a distance.

Orochimaru's eyes are narrow and long, and the brows are dark and condensed. At first glance, he is not a good person, but aren't all ninjas like this?

He nodded slowly, "I see."

He'll take good care of it.

Seeing that Xia Chuanyu understood what he meant, Captain Tanuki waved him back.

Leaving the camp, Xia Chuanyu ran to Anbu's tent and found that Uchiha Shinichi and Hyuga Hinata were not there. He curled his lips, knowing that these two guys had slipped away to find their clansmen.

It's not fun to stay in an empty tent by himself, so he simply slipped to the vicinity of the camp, found a tree, sat on the top of a tall tree, feeling the breath of green branches and leaves in the forest, Xia Chuanyu slowly relaxed down.

In any case, this is Konoha's camp, and it is much safer than in the Land of Thunder.

It was midnight when he came back. Looking at the bright moon hanging above his head, his thoughts gradually settled down. He picked off the leaves on the treetops nearby, put the leaves in his mouth, and played slowly.

It's the same bright moon, the same person, but we can never go back to the past.

The last time I blew leaves to the moon was 15 years ago, when I returned to the ancient town on the Qingshiban alley, I sat by the orange tree in the yard, brewed wine with green plums, and paid homage to my best friend.

But now, he is sitting among the tree branches where the north wind is whistling, and he is singing the song "Yangguan Three Folds" to the whispers in the forest, which is less regretful about farewell by three points, and has more hope of seeing you again by seven points.

The former friends passed away, and the best friends in this life are still fighting. I hope they are all well.

Xia Chuanyu's mind was clear, he was blowing with all his attention, and the faint clear song echoed in the forest. At this time, everything was quiet, even the night birds were quiet, as if they were listening to the simple and melodious sound of leaves.

Under the tree not far away, Orochimaru stood quietly with a dazed expression.
