[Hokage] Flower Time

Zhishui's guess was right, and it began to snow finely in the evening.The gray sky seemed to be covered with a layer of lead-gray paint, and the fine snowdrops were blown by the winter wind, flying around crookedly, and melted before they fell to the ground.

Huashi stood under the eaves of her house, tiptoeing and reaching out to catch the snowflakes in the air.As soon as those crystal clear and tiny snowflakes landed in her palm, they melted due to the heat of the skin.Without the thickly wrapped scarf, her raised collar couldn't stop the chill that permeated her whole body, and Hua Shi couldn't help shivering.

"It's so cold, this winter." She withdrew her hand and rubbed it in front of her face.

"Come in quickly." Zhishui lifted her collar, raised her body slightly, like a marionette, and let her walk back into the warm house on tiptoe, obediently Sit down in front of him.

"Have you got the grade book?" Zhishui asked as he put hot tea in front of her.

Hua Shigang put his cold hand on the warm cup wall, when he heard Zhishui's words, his movements froze, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Didn't you get the report card?" Zhishui was a little puzzled.

In the past, at the end of each semester, Hua Shi would happily hold the beautiful-looking grade book and show it to him with both hands, waiting for his praise.Today's time-consuming reaction seems a bit wrong.

"I got it." Hua Shi put his hand into his schoolbag, searched a bit, and took out his grade book.She carefully put the piece of paper on her chest and covered it for a while, and finally handed it over as if she was dead.

"Could it be that the homework in the senior grades is too difficult..." Zhishui said in a low voice, secretly guessing whether the pressure of skipping grades was too much for the time spent.But the report card he saw was clearly not the case.The results of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Illusion are all the best, and other cultural courses are also quite good.

but……

Uh... this flower arrangement art, the teacher's comment is "the aesthetics are too bad"...

Tea ceremony class... I wrote a hasty errand.Cloth art, the make-up exam has passed.

"Huashi..." Zhishui pressed the grade book on the table, looking at Huashi almost lowering his head into the ground.The moment his hands were on the table, Hua Shi wanted to bury his whole body in the table.She anxiously waited for her brother's next words, secretly annoyed at the strictness and inhumanity of the girls' class teacher.

"When the New Year comes, let's go to the Heroic Monument together and visit the fourth generation."

Zhishui's next words changed the topic, and did not mention the grades at all, which made Huashi a little surprised.She raised her head in surprise, the uneasiness on her face finally turned into a smile.She nodded and said, "Yes."

No one mentioned the matter of grades.

The snow that started in the evening became bigger and bigger as night fell.

Huashi was lying in his quilt, but his eyes were wide open and he couldn't fall asleep.She tried her best to wander in the darkness, but she couldn't see anything, and could only hear the occasional sound of broken snow falling from the eaves.

The soft sound of "slap" and "slap" was the sound of the snow on her roof or the accumulated snow on the trees falling to the ground because they could not bear the weight.

When you get up tomorrow morning, you can see a courtyard of white.As usual in winter, the paths and meadows were covered with fluffy snow, and there was no other color.The leaves are all dyed white, occasionally showing a little bit of dark green.As long as you stretch out your hand and shake it, snow will fall from your shoulders.

Huashi tossed and turned in his bed, unable to fall asleep.As soon as she heard the sound of crushed snow falling, she felt more awake and lost all sleepiness.Finally, she slowly got up, put the heavy quilt on her body, and moved towards the door little by little.

Relying on her memory, she moved to her door in the dark by groping and guessing. The sound of the paper door being pushed open was a bit harsh in the quiet home.She was draped in a quilt, and by wriggling and rubbing, she made her way to the door of Zhishui little by little.

She pushed the sliding door of the water-stopping room open a small crack with her hand, just enough for her to poke her head in.She yelled in a low voice in the direction that should be Zhishui: "Brother—brother—"

In the darkness, Zhi Shui lay on his side with his back facing him, seemingly unresponsive.

Satisfied, Huashi arched the sliding door and moved towards Zhishui's side.

With three steps to go, Huashi suddenly heard Zhishui's sober and calm voice.

"When you spend time, you don't sleep at night, what are you doing?"

With the sound of Zhishui, the lights in the room were turned on, and an orange light illuminated the entire room.Huashi raised his head, and clearly saw the piece of wood lying under the quilt, and a pair of bare|bare feet on the left that should belong to his brother.Huashi didn't care about Sanqi 21, and immediately covered the quilt on top of his head, pretending that he couldn't see anything.

Zhishui, who was wearing pajamas, looked at the unknown sphere wrapped in a ball on the ground, sighed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hua Shi stuck his head out from under the quilt and said, "I want to sleep with my brother!"

"But you're already this big." Zhishui walked back to his bed, took out the piece of wood that was usually used for practicing body substitutes, and leaned against the corner of the wall.

"...Then I'll go back." Hua Shi put on the quilt and moved towards the door sullenly.

"Forget it." Zhishui squatted down, grabbed the last corner of the quilt, and said, "Just this time today."

The movement of the quilt ball stopped, and immediately after, Hua Shi flashed to Zhishui's pillow with her fastest speed, lay down on her own, and straightened the corner of the quilt.

Shisui turned off the light, and the room returned to darkness.Then there was a faint light outside the house, Huashi could see a shadowy figure, it was Zhishui who came to her side, lifted the quilt and got in.Feeling the sudden heat around her body, Hua Shi closed her eyes contentedly.

After being quiet for a long time, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother, listen, the snow outside is falling."

"Yeah." Zhishui replied briefly.

"Brother, I thought you didn't notice me coming in just now."

"As a ninja, of course you should be more sensitive to the approach of others. It's just that I want to know what you are doing." Shisui turned around and fell asleep facing Huashi in the dark.

"The piece of wood that was in the quilt just now, is it a substitute technique? I didn't find it at all." Hua Shi said more and more energetically.

"...Well, Substitution Technique. You have also learned it, but it's not that advanced." Zhishui replied.

"Brother is amazing, then tomorrow..." Hua Shi was rambling on something again.

"Sleep." Zhishui interrupted her words, saying: "It's already very late today, if you don't sleep, go back to your room."

Hua Shi decisively shut her mouth.

Although unable to speak, she is still in good spirits.She did not forget the important mission of turning her brother's hair back into curly hair. While she was sleeping next to Zhishui, she quickly stretched out her hand, groping for the top of Zhishui's head, and began to curl it with her fingers. With his short black hair.

Zhishui noticed her movement, and frowned slightly, but he didn't intend to stop her, letting her continue to curl her hair like this.

wrap around... wrap around...

I don't know how long it took, the snow outside the house accumulated a thick layer, and the cold moonlight poured down on the ground.There was no flying snow in the night sky, and the dark blue sky became clear and clean.All the lights have been extinguished, and the world is plunged into darkness.Trees and houses are silent, for fear of disturbing people's deep sleep.

Even Huashi fell asleep.She was still holding Zhishui's hair in her hand, but she had already fallen asleep by herself regardless.

Zhishui stuffed her arms back into his quilt, chuckled, then turned around and fell into a deep sleep.

Huashi slept very well this time.

In the dream, she turned into an octopus with eight claws, the king of hairdressing in the marine animal world, and she is good at making curly hair for others with her claws.One day her brother came to do the curls, and she easily made a stylish curl with water.

When she woke up, the ocean kingdom, octopus, and hairdressing crown were all gone, and even her brother with a little curly hair was gone.She rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly sat up from the bed, and walked out of the room blankly.

"Brother?" She poked her head out of the room and called into the corridor.

After a long time, she got Shishui's answer.

"When it's time to spend, get up and wash up, there's a guest coming."

Huashi quickly fetched water to clean herself up, tied her black braids in front of the mirror, put on thick blue and black long-sleeved clothes, turned her head in front of the mirror to look at the family pattern on the back of the fan, and finally Then he patted his face and walked towards the living room.

"Who's here?" She yawned, not sober.

She looked into the living room, and at first sight saw the thick snow in the courtyard through the open door.The path and grass outside the house turned into a piece of clean white as she expected, and there were pieces of snow hanging on the trees.The second time she saw Uchiha Itachi sitting obediently at the table with a correct posture, polite and gentle.He was wearing a black long-sleeved dress, and his black hair on the side of his cheeks grew a little longer, almost hanging down to his shoulders.

The last thing she saw was her brother Zhishui.

Zhi Shui didn't wear a forehead protector and was wearing home clothes.His black hair is short and straight, with only a fringe of hair on the top of his head, which is curled up willfully and stubbornly.

Uchiha Itachi's gaze was quietly staring at Shisui's unique curly hair on top of his head.Wherever Shishui went, Itachi's head would turn in that direction.

Hua Shimu waited for a while before saying hello, "It's Mr. Weasel. It's snowing today, and you came so early!"

——This guy is definitely going to rob her brother.

Recently, Itachi's frequency of visits is a bit high. In his spare time, he even brings Sasuke to Shisui to talk about the village.Such a thick snow can't stop Itachi from visiting... Look at the thickness of the snow, if Itachi jumps into the snowdrift, he will be stuck in it and can't get out, right?
