[Hokage] A rose in mourning for the summer moon

Once a person makes up his mind, nothing can stop him.

Everyone will say this chicken soup for the soul.

The question is, why do people always think that only their own determination is the strongest?I can't figure it out.Maybe I can't figure it out for a lifetime.

So forget it.Forget too many things, and not much of this one.

When writing essays in elementary school, I like to write at the beginning: time is like water, and the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.But in fact, the time is really fleeting, leaving no room for melancholy.

Three years passed quickly.Seen from a height, the leaves surrounded by mountains remain unchanged.Still with red walls and golden tiles, the sun shines brightly. The Nanhe River flows through the village peacefully, and it does not become turbulent until it reaches the downstream.

I knocked on the door of Hokage's office.

"It's Xia Yue. Is the journey going well?"

"Thanks to you, everything went well."

"That's good. I have received Mizukage's letter. You have done a good job in the past three years."

Compared with when he first took office three years ago, Tsunade appears more mature and tolerant, and is no longer so sharp.She asked me about the diplomatic affairs of the Land of Water, and we talked about some information about the "Akatsuki" organization, and finally she thought about it.

"Your strength seems to have improved." She tapped on the table, "Any adventures?"

"Ah, I met Jiraiya-sama and Naruto on the way, and I was fortunate enough to learn some fairy arts."

Tsunade thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "That kind of toad/toad skill? What, you really learned it?"

"How could it be. After all, I am not the heir chosen by Ha/Toad Mountain... Besides, that posture is really ugly." I reluctantly admitted, "I just learned some principles of fairy arts to make up for the lack of chakra."

"Oh, that's really a good thing."

Hokage smiled slightly.Her appearance has not changed in any way, and she is still radiant.

"Xiayue, you were recalled to Konoha because of the rotation of the term of office, and because there are related tasks assigned to you."

My mind moved: "Is Hokage-sama willing to believe me?"

"You have spent three years of hard work in exchange for temporary trust. I have asked many people, and they all think that you are worthy of a new start. If this is the case, I don't care about giving you a chance."

Tsunade spoke with a somewhat heroic spirit.

"Naruto has already returned to the village before you. We received a call from Sand Ninja Village for help, and learned that Kazekage—that is, Gaara Ichiojinchuriki—was taken away by Akatsuki. Naruto planned to rescue Gaara. Luo, Xia Yue, what do you think?"

"I'm worried about Naruto's safety. If possible, I'd like to go together." I didn't hesitate, "But if Hokage-sama has other arrangements, then I trust your judgment."

Tsunade looked a little surprised. "Oh, what a pleasing answer, I understand why you were respected by the third generation." She smiled, "My request is—Junin Uchiha Natsuki, Yu Konoha is on standby, ready to be dispatched at any time. "

Sure enough, don't take me.I sighed secretly and bowed my head to accept the order.

I generally understand Tsunade's considerations. "Xiao" no longer concealed their attempt to capture the tail beast, which indicated that their plan had advanced to the later stage.The robbery of Yiwei Jinchurik is just the beginning, and then everywhere will experience turmoil.It is already a risky move for Konoha to release the Nine-Tails Jinzhuli to help the allies. To be prudent, the village must reserve enough masters.

The so-called "No. [-] Ninja Village" is not easy to be.

After three years, the teenagers have undergone radical changes.The mission was imminent, and Kakashi took the seventh squad to rescue Gaara without thinking about the past.Taking Sasuke's place was a young man named Sai, whose complexion was as pale as paper.He reminds me of an old man.

I'm not going to bring it up with him.Sharing memories about a person with strangers is also a wonderful thing.

When I was leaving to see them off, Naruto rushed over and gave me a big hug.He has a baby face, very cute when he was a child, and he is still cute now at the age of growing a green beard.

"Sister Xia Yue, we must successfully complete the mission... Hey, what is this?"

He blinked, leaned over my shoulder and sniffed, "This smell..."

"What are you doing, Naruto! Even if you regard Ms. Xia Yue as your sister, you can't do that!!"

Sakura grabbed him and stared like a stern mother, then turned around and apologized to me with a smile.Looking at the fierce fists, hard and soft smile, heroic demeanor, and the beautiful diamond-shaped mark on the forehead, it really makes people sigh: he is worthy of being Tsunade's personal disciple.

Naruto rubbed his head, but still looked at me suspiciously.I smile at him.

"Maybe it feels wrong..."

Behind the boy, there seemed to be an orange-red nine tails swaying for a moment, like a handshake after an agreement was reached.I smiled at Naruto, and I smiled at the Nine Tails inside him.

"Bon voyage," I said.

—Hmph, I hate Uchiha.

I heard that voice.

Naruto looked back at me, his expression even more puzzled.

Soon, "Akatsuki" proved Tsunade's judgment was correct with actions.Naruto and the others sent a letter back saying that they had successfully saved the young Kazekage’s life, and Konoha’s side was connected to Jiri, one of the “Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors” of the Land of Fire, where the second-tailed Jinchuriki was killed. Two messages were killed.The murderer is said to be the same pair of "Xiao" partners.

One of the dead, Chiriku, was Asma's friend, and he asked Hokage to fight.I was there.

"Master Hokage, please allow me to participate in this battle." I volunteered.

"Xia Yue? Why?" Tsunade said unexpectedly, "I told you, Naruto and the others got news about Sasuke, I thought you would be willing to join them."

Although the surface is very strong, Tsunade has a delicate side in her heart. Being a woman makes her have more empathy and empathy.Konoha's Hokages are really good people, I can't help feeling so emotional again.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think this side needs me more." I said, "Through the description of the pair who killed Lu Lu, I can probably guess the origin of one of them. If you have any idea about my life experience Impression, you should remember that the reason why I was able to escape from birth eight years ago was because of the secret method left by my father."

"My father's name is Takihira, and 'Taki' is the name of the village. And the so-called secret method is actually to make a spare heart."

My father was known to the world as a drunk, a gambler, and too incompetent to lift himself up against a wall, but he was a ninja much earlier.After I was born, he took great pains to prepare a spare heart for me, and a few years after his death, this kind of favor could also hide me, allowing me to survive that full moon night.Every year when I visit the grave, I think that I am no longer qualified to complain about this man's incompetence; he has been cowarded for half his life, but to his daughter, he is a well-deserved hero.

"Theoretically, there can be more than one spare heart. If the person in 'Xiao' is really the same as I guess... Mr. Asma will face them unprepared like this, it will be very dangerous, because no one knows that person has a total of There are several hearts."

This technique sounds weird, so it's no wonder Tsunade and Asma's complexion changed slightly.But with my personal testimony, it is enough to explain the power of the secret method.

"Having said that, Xia Yue, how do you plan to deal with them?" Tsunade became more cautious, "If something happens to you, Naruto will definitely be very sad."

"You can't just waste a Jonin's fighting power just to make him not sad?" I shook my head, "Don't worry, with these Sharingan, I'm somewhat sure."

Before leaving, Asma asked me to have dinner, and Hong cooked the food herself.She was pregnant, and her smile became very gentle and maternal. She came to hold my hand and said that I should try to wear skirts more, so as not to waste my youth and beautiful appearance.I listened with a smile.

"Are Miss Hong and Mr. Asma planning to get married?"

"I plan to register when he returns from this mission." Hong was a little shy.

"What about the wedding?"

"I can't take care of it at this time." She said calmly, "In the future, when peace comes, let's talk about it when there is a chance."

They held hands and looked at each other and smiled, which made me a little dazed and suddenly envious.

"Don't just talk about us, what about Xia Yue?" Hong said, "How is it with Kakashi?"

I was suddenly helpless: "Senior Kakashi is just a friend."

The two looked in disbelief.

"We've known each other for so long, if there is any feeling, we have been together a long time ago." I can only continue to explain, "But Kakashi-senpai has been alone for too long, if Miss Hong and Mr. Asma have met a suitable partner, why not Pay attention to Senior Kakashi."

They looked at each other.Hong showed a look of hesitation, and said carefully: "I heard that Uchiha Itachi and Xia Yue used to be..."

"Ah, we used to be lovers." There's nothing wrong with admitting that.

"Xia Yue... still can't forget Itachi?"

The correct answer should be no.Don't get involved with traitors.

I was out of my mind for a while.

"Should be able to say that." I laughed sincerely, "I liked that kind of person, but I can't forget it."

"However, I know what to do. Please rest assured, Miss Hong and Mr. Asma."

Asma laughed and changed the subject.Hong complied with his wishes, but in the occasional glances, she could still see a trace of worry.Maybe women do have a unique intuition, or maybe it's just a powerful empathy.

In any case, these people in Konoha are really good people.

Each of them is a great person who deserves a great future.

By tracing the black/market bounty exchange records, we successfully intercepted the pair of "Xiao" partners, one named Feiduan and the other named Jiaodu.When they were stopped, both of them had already suffered some injuries.

"Although I don't know who did it, it really helped. I hope it won't be too easy... Otherwise, I'm sorry for the dead land." Asma smiled and faced the battle with a cigarette in his mouth.

The tenth squad he led was desperately helping.

Recently, whenever I see people working hard, it feels a little far away, like being in another world.While pulling out the crescent thorn and ringing the hanging golden bell, I focused myself more and got rid of useless thoughts.

Fei Duan's ability uses the blood of others as a medium to equate the damage he receives with the damage received by others.He got Asma's blood, drew a strange formation, and declared that he was immortal, and Asma was about to be judged by the evil/god.

"Ah, that's what happened." I suddenly said, "Mr. Asma, can you please exchange targets with me? This person here should only have one heart left. In order to avoid unnecessary harm to you, Hiduan, please leave it to me to deal with it."

Asma hesitated for a moment, but then Hiduan stabbed her arm with a knife, and Asma also suffered the same injury.

"No matter what you do, hurry up!" Asma's student Shikamaru was so nervous that his voice broke, "Miss Xia Yue, please!"

The three young men rushed forward, trying hard to hold Kakuzu back.Although there is only one heart left, Kakudo still has a strength far beyond ordinary people.Asma immediately gave up the flying section and stepped forward to support.

"What? Hey hey!! You are disrespecting evil/gods!!" Fei Duan barked his teeth and claws, "I want to represent..."

"—Toyo Yuno."

His eyes were empty, and he stood there dumbfounded.

- Fei Duan! !What are you doing! !

The continuously running kaleidoscope Sharingan really has the ability that others can't match.I can more or less understand the feelings of some geniuses.It is said that high places are extremely cold, but people who really go to high places are always unwilling to look down.

"Mr. Fei Duan," I asked politely, "for the peace of the world, please bury yourself alive, and don't come out to make trouble for others."

Fei Duan didn't say a word, and immediately started digging in place with a sickle in his hand.I stood by with my hands down, watching him sink deeper and deeper into the pit I dug, and thought with emotion, if only all the battles were so simple.

It was a cloudy day, cold and rainy, and the wind was miserable.The golden bell hanging on the crescent thorn trembled from time to time, bringing out a series of clear sounds.Fei Duan is not an easy guy to deal with, and "Feng Yunye" needs to be maintained from time to time.

Asma and the others solved Jiaodu, walked over to take a look at the bottom of the pit, and looked at me with complicated expressions.

"Xiayue," Asma lit a new cigarette, let the doctor among the students heal her injuries, and said in a negotiating tone, "Before I get rid of this guy, I have something to ask him ,May I?"

"Of course, Mr. Asma, you don't have to be polite." I was a little surprised at his cautiousness.

Asma crouched by the pit, shouting to Fei Duan.He asked which force had injured them before, why Jiaodu lost a heart, and whether it was taken away by the person who injured them.

"Who knows which faction it is! It must have been bitten by a dog!" Fei Duan said violently.

"A dog..."

"Teacher Asma, that sentence must be a curse. What are you thinking about?" His students were speechless.

"No, I think that's the truth." Asma made an experienced judgment, "The wounds on their bodies are indeed the marks of beast claws. The only one who has the ability to hurt 'Xiao'... is the tailed beast. Yes Which Renzhuli?"

I made a move.

"Miss Xia Yue, did you remember anything?" It was the boy named Shikamaru.He is very smart and has keen observation skills. He asked me immediately, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"No, I just remembered...they killed Ninao Jinchuriki from the Land of Thunder before. It's called the two Yuki people." I said, "Maybe it was left behind at that time."

"If that's the case, Hidan will directly answer Nio Jinchuriki's name instead of saying he doesn't know." Shikamaru answered without hesitation.Then, he turned to Fei Duan at the bottom of the pit, and asked, "Hey, let me tell you, what happened to Erwei Jinchuriki before?"

I watched this scene.

"What else? Of course he died after pulling out the tail beast!" Hiduan continued to roar violently.Despite being hypnotized, is the instinct of life-threatening still trying to resist?

Shikamaru frowned thoughtfully.

"Are there any other questions?" I asked.

"No more. Let's deal with this guy." Shikamaru glanced at me, "Thank you this time, Miss Xia Yue."

"This is what I should do."

After dealing with the scene and taking off Jiaodu's head, Asma and his party plan to return to the village.

"Mr. Asma, and everyone, I won't go back with you." I took a step back and bowed slightly.

"Xia Yue? Where are you going?"

"Master Hokage said that Naruto and the others are following Sasuke. I know how to contact Senior Kakashi, and I want to find that child with them."

"This way... I can understand it."

Asma nodded, and waved her hand smartly, "Then see you later, Xia Yue."

"Goodbye, Mr. Asma, please say hello to Miss Hong for me."

I said goodbye to them and headed in another direction.

The air gradually became drier, and the tree species in the forest also changed slightly.I've gone far enough.

——Almost gave away, Xia Yue.

A voice gloated in my head.

——Don’t ignore me, when you sealed me, you agreed that you would chat with me, come on, come on, I have provided you with a lot of chakra.How about it, it feels good to be strong, right?Alas, if I could have met that guy Maomata sooner, I wouldn't let "Akatsuki" take away half of her strength.But killing these two people is considered even.

Jifu is good everywhere, but he is a little bit honest.

In the depths of the forest hangs an inconspicuous small waterfall.After passing through the illusion barrier, he entered a damp cave.

The blue two-tailed cat folded its front paws again, resting sleepily in the depths.She opened her eyes, her eyes were indifferent.I started to form the spell of sealing, she obeyed the agreement and did not resist.

I once planned to snatch Ninao Jinchuriki.Ashamed to say, the reason is just because she is the weakest, I think I can take the risk of suppressing it with the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.Later, when I met the wild Sanwei Isofu, I naturally gave up Erwei, but she had the trigger of "Toyo Yunno" on her body; when Erwei Jinchuriki died, I immediately noticed it, and the cat also because of "Toyo Yunno" Consciousness was preserved due to the existence of human beings, and half of the power was able to escape.

She wants to avenge her renzhuli, and I am willing to help her.

After the seal was completed, the cat turned into a streamer again and sank into my body.

I stagger.Chakra is a bit too much.

——Xia Yue, you sealed me, and now you have absorbed half of Maoyou's power, won't it be too much?You don't have the perverted physique of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.Will die, really will die, will reach the limit at any time?The boundaries of mortals are not so easy to surpass...

Isofu began to murmur again.

"I won't die." I suppressed a mouthful of fishy sweetness in my throat, "I will definitely not die before I complete my goal."
