[Naruto] [Gaara] Sand and Thorn Bird

Leaf Village.

why?

I don't know how many times I checked the mailboxes outside my house, but I found that they were all empty iron sheets, and there was no trace of half a piece of paper.

Kazuki scratched his head suspiciously.

How can I say that I have been in Konoha for almost half a year, and I have written several letters to Mrs. Xiaozheng, but why has there been no reply?

In fact, it’s not that important. It’s just that Konoha’s ox tongue has a new way. The saury tastes good, but I haven’t tasted it yet, or what’s interesting about Konoha. Wait for Xiaozheng to come. In order to take him to play, and she made a new friend named Tiantian... and so on.

She also wrote to her brother, but there was also no response.

Could something be wrong?

In fact, it's not that she didn't think about it, looking for an opportunity to go back to Shayin.But this idea is too unrealistic. She is only a five-year-old child, how can she climb mountains and mountains and cross the desert alone?What's more, there are various difficulties such as not knowing the way and getting in and out of the pass.After much deliberation, Akigi chose to give up temporarily.

Sure enough, I can only pin my hopes on the few thin pages in my hand.

Kashigi looked at the letter in his hand, pasted completely.

What if he received this one...

She dropped the letter into the elongated entrance of the mailbox.

It's good to receive it.

After all, this letter introduced an interesting person.

That happened half a year ago, when she first came to Konoha.

Just like when she was in Shayin, she still carried potted plants, large and small, and walked from house to house.But Kooki, who has just arrived, is really not familiar with Konoha.Seeing that some place in the street was full of spectators, and it looked like something happened, she wanted to turn around and leave this place of right and wrong.

It's just... I looked at the note with the address on the small potted plant, and raised my head in embarrassment.

It seems to be on this street.

Forget it, she will just pass by, pass by.

[Look, it's that child, right? 】

【Yes, he is the one...】

[It's better not to get close to him. 】

As the distance drew closer, the whispers of the crowd also spread into the fungus' ear unexpectedly.When she was with that little panda, the words she often heard and the all-too-familiar tone made her little hand holding the potted plant tremble slightly.

【You plague god, what are you doing here? ! 】The middle-aged and strong uncle bared his arms and roared loudly full of disgust, like a ferocious bear baring its teeth.It was in stark contrast to the skinny boy in orange clothes who was pushed to the ground.

【Well! ] The moment his eyes made contact with the blond boy, Akigi suddenly felt a splitting headache.

The memory was screaming manically in his mind, almost rushing out, and then they all showed her cards - but in the end, they still couldn't remember anything.

Either way, the blond boy must have existed in his lost memories.

[Ask me what I'm here for?I just—] Because of the pain, the little boy fell to the ground and did not get up.His expression was both angry and astonished, his blond hair was shaking slightly, and there were three thin mustaches on each of his left and right cheeks, he looked very much like a cub with fried fur.However, he can only be regarded as a wounded kitten now.

The little boy suddenly lowered his head slightly, his tone tinged with indescribable sadness: [Just look at the mask...]

[This kind of thing——] The uncle suddenly took down a fox mask with white background and red stripes from the shelf, and under the eyes of everyone who didn't care about himself, he slammed it on the boy's head, [Here's it for you, hurry up disappear for me! ! ! 】

His strength vividly shows the little boy's weakness and helplessness.

[It hurts...] The mask hit the head hard, and there was a muffled sound. The blond boy subconsciously covered his forehead and let out a □□.

Akiki watched for a long time and finally understood.

what happened?An adult bullying a child?And so many people are just watching coldly? !

Similar experience, same sorrow, the wronged and sad look of the little panda seems to gradually overlap with the little blond boy in front of him.

While Akiki was still in a daze, the volume of the blond boy who fell on the ground suddenly increased, turning into an angry and unwilling question——

【Why……】

Angrily scanned the onlookers for a week.

[Why on earth!Why are you looking at me like this! 】

At some point, the boy grabbed the mask from the ground and ran away.

Akiki stood still at the door of the toy store, collected himself, and shouted inside—[Uncle! 】

Avoiding the blond boy before, the uncle who had already lifted the curtain and entered the room, heard the immature girl's voice at the door, and came out from the back room again: [Yo, it's here. 】

The normal expression towards customers has been put on the face, and there is even some doting on children, and the domineering attitude before.

【Um. 】Hakiki nodded, but kept holding the potted plant with both hands, not intending to hand it over.

Just as the uncle in the toy store was still wondering, a crisp female voice sounded: [Nah, uncle, I want to buy a mask. 】

【okay! ] The uncle had a smile on his face, and turned to face the shelf full of masks, 【Which one do you want? 】

[I want all of them. 】

【ah? ] The uncle thought he heard it wrong, and turned his head to look at Aki in surprise, but what he got was a serious face, without the slightest intention of joking.

As if wanting to prove that he was not talking nonsense, Kashiki freed his hand and grabbed a handful of coins from the small purse by his side—enough to buy all the masks.

Seeing this, the uncle didn't want to say anything more, and while uttering something like [strange...], he helped Akiki take off all the masks.

[Here. 】The uncle stacked the masks together and handed them to Kashiki who was quietly waiting by the side.

Akigi put the counted coins into the hands of the uncle.

【oops! 】The girl suddenly yelled, and only heard a sputtering sound, the brown flower pot was broken, and the soil, flowers and leaves were also scattered all over the ground.

Uncle was shocked.

Akiki looked at the dumbfounded uncle, blinked his eyes, and looked innocent: [I'm sorry, uncle, my hand slipped.But this is the first time this happened!I have to say, this is because the plants in our house have aura!A person with a vicious mind and a bad temper, it doesn't want to be raised by that person!You see, it chose to 'suicide' - oh yes, it especially hates ugly uncles who bully children! 】

As he said that, Aoki shook his hand, and the masks fell on the dirty soil one after another: [Yah, if this is the case, then I dare not take the mask from Uncle's house! 】

After finishing speaking, no matter what expressions the uncle and passers-by expressed, Akiki stepped on the mask and was about to leave.

Anger and shame slowly hit his cheeks, and his somewhat rough face was immediately flushed red.The uncle stretched out his thick hand and grabbed Akiki's thin arm: 【Stop! 】

Before the words fell, there was only a soft sound, and the little girl immediately turned into a puff of white smoke, and there was no such little figure that he wanted to beat up.

It was true that Aki had already left.

As soon as the blond boy got up and ran away, she followed.

Completely involuntary.

If it was her before, she wouldn't want to meddle in her own business.No, even now she doesn't necessarily care about it. She has seen a lot of injustices, and she has experienced a lot.The reason for meddling is that it is too similar to that little panda.

Following the blond boy walking unhurriedly along the river, Kashiki thought several times that the little boy wanted to jump into the river because he couldn't bear it, but he hadn't found a suitable place yet...

The most beautiful April day in the world, this is the emotion that can only be expressed in Konoha.It is obviously not suitable to hide in the sand with the same scenery in all seasons.There is a row of cherry blossom trees by the river, surrounded by clusters, the pink color is like the sweet smile of a little girl.While the breeze blows off the petals, it is also infected with a tranquil fragrance.

In an elegant way, poignant to the extreme.

Konoha is really beautiful.

【Hey!What are you doing with me! ] The suddenly enlarged face in front of him interrupted Akiki's thoughts, and those clear blue eyes were staring at her in puzzlement.

Akiki was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously said: 【No...】

The boy clasped his hands behind his head, his posture was naughty and arrogant that is unique to children, the corners of his eyes and brows were raised triumphantly: [Don't think I don't know, this uncle has already found out! 】

a little flat...

Kashiki suddenly doubted whether his previous judgment was correct.

【Well! 】The boy in front of him suddenly lowered his arms and looked Akiki up and down.He looks pretty good, although his favorite is Sakura, but it’s okay to play with cute girls, 【Come on, what do you want me to do? 】

Although the tone was lazy and mischievous, and even a little beating, the upturned corners of his mouth revealed the boy's innermost emotions.

Kashiki's eyes fell on the fox mask held by the boy.

Although she followed, it didn't mean that she had thought of something to say to this little boy.

To be honest, she's not good at dealing with little kids at all.

Of course, except for the obedient little panda.

Seeing that Aogi didn't speak for a long time, the boy looked at Aoki suspiciously, followed her gaze, and looked at the fox mask in his hand.

The strange upward curvature of the fox's mouth, and the two emotionless holes in the eyes, seemed to be laughing at himself.

Recalling the experience in the toy store just now, those strange eyes and unbearable whispers suddenly rushed to him, and even the pain in his back that was about to dissipate suddenly seemed to be magnified several times and became sharply clear !

The boy's blood surged up.

[This kind of thing——] He raised his arm and looked at the strangely smiling mask——

【Any functions! 】

With a strong wave, the mask drew a white arc, and finally fell into the river next to it with a plop, and then floated lightly on the surface of the water.

【You...】 Akiki stared blankly at what happened in front of him.

Why, the same kid, this little fox has a much hotter temper than the little panda.

【You too, right! ] The boy rushed to Akiki, 【Look at me with that look!Like watching a monster! 】

【I'm not. 】

The boy let out a lingering sound of anger, then dropped his head suddenly.Kashiki saw a slight twitch in his shoulders.

[How can you trust me? 】Hakiki Road.

The boy did not speak.

It's really... troublesome...

Akiki jumped into the river next to him with a 'plop'.

The boy raised his head in astonishment, and all he saw was the small figure of Kashiki struggling to overcome the resistance of the river, approaching the white mask in the middle of the river.

Although this season, the water is not deep and the flow is slow.But it is not long since spring has just entered, and the river is still bitingly cold.The boy has a carefree temperament, and his unhappiness comes and goes quickly. He quickly yelled at Akiki in the river: 【You idiot!Come up to me quickly! 】

[It's so noisy. 】

Damn it, the clothes are all wet.

Akiki frowned unhappily, and handed the fox mask in his hand to the boy who was standing stupidly: [Here, you should trust me. 】

Really!Why do you have to do this...

When the blond boy raised his eyes again, he had already changed into a relaxed and playful tone and a playful expression: [Since you are so persistent... then fine!I allow you to be my big apprentice of Uzumaki Naruto! 】

[...Aha? 】

Actually, she still doesn't mind having a master.Of course, the premise is that this master is not a naughty kid who has reached a certain level and whose ninjutsu is weaker than himself.

Since then, she has become Naruto's big apprentice. Although she said so, what she actually did was to stop Naruto when he was about to draw on the stone statue, or when he was about to splash water on the door of the classroom. Hold him when he is oily, or catch him below when he climbs to the cherry blossom tree to pick the flowers and says he wants to give it to Sakura...

In the days of following the mischievous Wang Mingren, she missed Sha Yin, the little panda who obediently followed her and was at her beck and call.

……

There was a soft sound at the bottom of the box, the sound of letters falling.

Akiki stared at the long and flat black box for a while, then smiled, turned and left.
