12.

"Come in." The person inside said weakly and hoarsely.

I mustered up the courage to open the door and go in. Minato Namikaze leaned against the wall of the hospital and mouthed to me, be brave.

Be brave, don't be afraid.I told myself, I put the flowers on the bedside of Grandma Mito and tore off the kraft paper packaging, and then inserted/put the carnation flowers into the vase one by one.

Grandma Mito seemed a little surprised: "Qina, are you here?"

She explained again: "I haven't been able to see clearly for the past two days. Is it you, Chennai?"

I whispered: "Yes...Grandma Mito, I'm here to see you."

Grandma Mito opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something to me, and I hissed softly: "Nenny Tsunade has already explained it to me...I forgive you."

There was a look of relief on her face.I felt sad for a while: "Grandma, I don't understand..."

Why is my life always full of flags like a flagpole, always stabbing me in the back when I feel happy?

Grandma Mito said with difficulty: "It's hard to be a Jinchuriki. Grandma is sorry for you."

I said, "I'll get over it, don't be afraid. I've always been strong."

Grandma Mito squeezed my hand, pulled me towards her, and hugged me.

Grandma Mito: "You were taken to this village as a container, and you must have been full of loneliness and pain."

With a sore nose, I said firmly, "I don't need to apologize, you just need to be good."

When I closed the door and came out, I wiped the tip of my nose vigorously, not wanting others to see my distressed appearance, especially the snot.Namikaze Minato just rightly passed over a cup of hot water with sugar.

Me: "Where did the water come from? It's still hot."

He grunted: "I asked the nurse for it, and I added some sugar."

This person will become a great talent in the future... I gulped down the contents of the cup, rolled the cup into a ball and threw it away.Then we walked back together.

When we arrived at the mountain gate, the night was dark, and the small vendors on the road were withdrawing, but Namikaze Minato still carried his handful of carnations.After I realized this, I said to him in embarrassment, "I'm sorry... for disrupting your plan all of a sudden."

He smiled: "No, I don't have to go at that time either. ——Besides, if I don't go with you, maybe you haven't found out where the hospital is now."

I argued, "No, I can go to the school, I know how to get from the school—"

"Is there a difference?" he asked.

"...Yes, there is a difference." I said forcefully, "Is there at least a little bit?"

There is a fart difference, Uzumaki Chenai, you just don’t know the way, don’t pretend to be——a small voice in my heart said so, and I squashed that voice.You're the only one who talks too much.

"I'm going to comfort the memorial monument, be careful on the way back, it's dark at night, don't fall on the mountain." Minato tidied up the flowers he was holding, stretched out his hand and plucked a grass from my hair.

I agreed, waved to him, and turned to go up the mountain——then I walked a few steps, and couldn't help but look back at his back.

The summer wind is so nice, I looked at the boy's straight back and felt the wind wrapping my body.The wind carried the smell of grass leaves, fresh and jerky.

On the day Grandma Mito came back from the hospital, the sky in the Land of Fire was gloomy for a long time.The long sun has caused the leaves to droop. I was watering the ancient Yae cherry tree in the garden when there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, Tsuna pushed the wheelchair into the yard, and Grandma Mito was fast asleep in the wheelchair.

Then four or five medical ninjas came in, one of them was holding a bottle, and the other end of the bottle was stuck on the back of Grandma Mito's skinny hand.Someone else came in with a box of medicine.It was as dark as water could be squeezed out.

Tsunade carried Grandma Mito into the back room, and I put down the kettle and ran in after her.

Tsunade made a booing gesture to me: "Keep your voice down, grandma had a rare and comfortable sleep."

I nodded, and hurried to help a few medical ninjas spread the quilts and set up the infusion stand.After finishing his work, Tsunade gently put Grandma Mito into the futon.

Tsunade took my hand and motioned for us to go out and talk.I closed the folding door as I said, and the two of us stood in the damp corridor, the bamboo leaves rustling in the wind.

Tsunade said bluntly: "The tail beast draw is scheduled for this week."

I said with difficulty: "Grandma...is it just this week?"

Tsunade nodded, and said to me: "If --- if she dies naturally, Kyuubi will definitely break free from the seal, and then Konoha will be in trouble... and her chakra is also weakening, and she will soon be unable to suppress Tail. Beast. Konoha's high-level meaning is the same as grandma's, which is to extract the seal in advance."

I bit my lip: "That means...she can't die of old age naturally?"

Tsunade nodded and said to me: "Yes—because if we don't do this, how many people in the village will die because of Kyuubi's rebellion—you can't imagine. If Ninetails rebelled in Konoha, it would be the end of Konoha. "

I couldn't tell what it was like, and I seemed to have seen my own ending, and I wanted to comfort myself that that day was far away.Tsunade stroked my hair and explained: "As a ninja, everyone has made up their minds."

I looked into the distance, and there were black clouds in the sky, and the sky was as dark as night for a while.

I couldn't hold it back, and asked quietly: "Sealed Tail Beast...does it hurt?"

Tsunade rubbed my hair: "It won't hurt—forget it, at least it won't hurt very much. But there may be a few days when the chakra will be a little disordered, and I will coordinate the assessment time with your Jonin teacher who leads the team .”

As soon as I heard it, my curiosity was immediately aroused: "Have you decided to lead the Jonin teacher?"

Tsunade smiled and said, "That's the secret."

Thousands of peaks and clouds rise, and the green mountains are like Daisy.

It rained for several days without stopping.I sat on the porch and watched the rain fall.

In the past few days, Anbu has started to haunt this house.They wore masks of various colors, white uniform vests, uniformly dressed in black clothes, and formed barriers around the four corners.When Tsunade was tidying up the old house, she found two ninjutsu books brought by Ushio Gakushi, and she handed them to me.

I tried to use a few B-level sealing techniques in the courtyard, and found that they were quite handy. Tsunade circled a few ninjutsu for me to focus on learning. It is said that suppressing tailed beasts will be useful.

I didn’t know how smooth ninjutsu was when I was learning seal art. My ninjutsu has always been a mess, and I was able to graduate because of my hard work—but I found that seal art is completely different, and my chakra seems to be born for it. I can easily seal and suppress a huge cabinet without spending much chakra.

A medical ninja came up to me and told me, "Grandma Mito wants to see you."

I nodded, put down the ninjutsu scroll, and followed the medical ninja through the corridor. When I opened the door, I saw Grandma Mito lying on her usual couch, closing her eyes and recuperating.

I said softly: "Grandma, I'm here."

Grandma Mito saw me and said hoarsely: "...Come here and sit down. I always want to see more things recently, after all, one glance is less than one..."

I was sore, but unable to speak.

Grandma Mito smiled oldly: "I may really be at the end of my life. Recently, I always think about the past... and I can't stop thinking about the first generation. He was 20 years old when I met him, and it has been 50 years now. Yes. But after thinking about it, there are still some things I have to tell you... As an old man Churiki. When I sealed the Nine-Tails on myself in the battle in the Valley of the End, I never put Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who I am before who I am as a person."

I raised my head with a question mark, and Grandma Mito stroked my hair with her hand.

"I'm worried that you will think of yourself as a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, rather than a person who can be happy." Grandma Mito said.

I looked at her confused.

"Sealing Nine-Tails on your body doesn't mean you're just a container...but before you become a container, you have to fill it with your own life—and love." Grandma Mito said, " Don't be afraid to communicate with people, don't be afraid to love people, and live a dignified life."

I couldn't understand what she was saying.But the only thing I knew was that she wanted me to be happy - and that made me cry.

Grandma Mito smiled at me: "Don't cry, your eyes will become smaller if you cry... Birth, old age, sickness and death are all common things, and you will see many of them in the future. I won't be the first, let alone the last Someone who left you. Be strong, Chennai."

I wiped my tears without saying a word, and she took my hand.

"Don't cry..." The old fingers wiped my eyes for me, "It is inevitable to say goodbye in this world, and it is endless - former comrades-in-arms, your close people, your loved ones, your relatives... They will all leave, even if they are as powerful as my husband, or I will be no exception."

"All you can do is to live worthy of yourself, worthy of me and those you love in your life." She said, winking her eyes again: "Qinai, if you think of me, come to the memorial monument Look at me—old people are always afraid of being lonely. When I was young, I liked tulips...I planted them in this yard before, but they just died."

"Safflower is my favorite among tulips." She smiled. "Qinai, your hair is really similar to when I was young...they are red and beautiful. Let me tell you one thing, some people laughed at my red hair before-the most useful solution is, whoever says you are ugly, you Just beat him."

I smiled through tears, and nodded vigorously.

It was still raining continuously outside.Tsunade suddenly informed me that I would gather in Room 301 of the Ninja School and be assigned to lead a Jōnin team.After I informed Anbu at the door of the incident, that Anbu asked him to follow me to protect my safety—in fact, I think surveillance should be more appropriate, if something happens to Grandma Mito They will drag me back to seal Nine-Tails as soon as possible.

I took off my shoes, took my umbrella and ran out, and that Anbu followed me silently.

Konoha Ninja School is only 15 minutes away from Senju's mansion. I was so fast that I rushed into the classroom before everyone was even there.

In the classroom, there were three groups of pigs, deer and butterflies, and a few other classmates who greeted me very friendly after seeing me.

I looked for Miqin's figure, but she wasn't there, probably not yet—I was dragged when I was about to sit down.

"Sit together?" Namikaze Minato didn't even let go of my clothes, with a smile on his face: "Maybe we are in the same class."

"Okay. But I don't think the rules are that simple—" I glanced absently at the dark part outside the window, "It's all set."

Minato pulled the chair away, and we sat on the same bench.He asked me concerned: "Qinai, didn't you sleep well recently?"

I scratched my head shyly: "There is... a little bit, just a little bit. How did you see it?"

Minato poked the inner corner of my eye: "Your dark circles."

I covered my eyes: "I just didn't fall asleep last night!"

Minato laughed. "I suddenly found that the way you cover your eyes looks like a koala."

I?you? ? ...you? ?I took my hand off and stared at him with panda eyes.He seemed to take advantage of my reaction, and looked at me with a smile.

As a result, I was too thin-skinned and lost in three seconds.

"Are you flirting here?" Mikoto Uchiha asked in surprise, "Kina Uzumaki?"

I immediately sat upright: "This kind of thing will never happen. Speaking of this, have you said anything other than thank you to your cousin?"

Uchiha Mikoto and I have been hanging out for a long time, the girl who was originally gentle and gentle is now quite a jerk, she said frankly: "I talk to my cousin every day, after all I have so many cousins."

I:"……"

Mikoto pulled out the chair on the other side and sat on the same bench as me.

Minato laughed and greeted her: "Good afternoon, Uchiha-san."

Uchiha Mikoto also smiled: "Good afternoon to you too, Namikaze-kun."

Then Mr. Nakamura came in, and there was silence below.I poked a swirl symbol on the table with a thousand copies, and then the jonin who led the team rushed in.

"Wow...it's a Jōnin, the legendary Jōnin."

Quiet conversations began in the classroom.

I poked Qianben into the table, and when I looked up, I saw two familiar white-haired uncles.

Mr. Nakamura took out the list and read: "First Class, Fujiwara Yuki Jonin is in charge, members Uchiha Mikoto, Shimizu Akema, Miyazaki Hara."

"Class [-], Jiraiya Jōnin of the Sannin is in charge—" Exclaimed one after another in the classroom, Mr. Nakamura had to maintain order: "The members include Namikaze Minato, Hinata Hizuru, and Higashi no Hata. "

I glanced at Dong Zhitian Wen, she was a pretty girl with black hair, she was usually very quiet in class - so much so that I couldn't remember her face when the teacher pronounced her name.

Mr. Nakamura continued to turn the page and read: "The fifth class is in charge of Jōnin Yuhi Mako, members Nara Shikahisa, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Akimichi Choza..."

"Seventh class, in charge of Jonin Hatake Sakumo." Nakamura-sensei continued to read, "Members Uchiha Fugaku, Uzumaki Kina, and Aoyama Masahiro. Alright, let's gather in each team."

I was dumbfounded, imagining the scene where Meiqin frantically came to our group called me to see my cousin, and I couldn't help shivering.

Namikaze Minato smiled softly at me: "It's fine if you're not in the same group, you can come to me anytime, and I'll treat you to milk tea."

I said politely, "I'll go play with you."

But whether it's my mother, Grandma Mito, or Tsunade, they all told me that I can't take advantage of the advantages--I will lose myself.

So AA is better for milk tea.I swallowed this half sentence in my stomach.

The author has something to say: I refreshed the background this afternoon, and lost a collection... I almost cried...
