Ninja World

The night is empty and quiet.

You can still vaguely hear the echoing bells from the small village at the foot of the mountain.

Uchiha Haru sat alone on the edge of the cliff, her two calves shaking slightly in mid-air.

A pair of bright eyes reflected the moonlight above her head.

The long eyelashes flickered suddenly, and the water light fluctuated, like a dancing shadow.

A bonfire was swaying in the distance, and several people were sitting cross-legged together.

One of them raised his head and looked in this direction, then bowed to his companion beside him.

Climbed up.

There are stars in the girl's eyes.

Today was her first real mission, but she encountered setbacks.

Her performance was better than most of her peers, but thinking about it now, she still felt panicked and uncontrollable fear in her heart.

The real fight between ninjas is like this with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The romance of blood and fire.

Although she was born into a powerful ninja family like the Uchiha family, she had long been mentally prepared, but it was still difficult to accept it for a while.

Now when I look back and think about it again, I can't help but feel a little gloomy.

It doesn't feel good.

"It's past twelve o'clock..."

"It's the second year."

'White Ferret' walked behind her.

The mask's face was calm, and the aura surrounding him seemed to become lonely.

There is no name, only a code name.

There are many root ninjas, such as the Spyhound in the team.

They may not be from the Leaf Village, or they may not be from the Fire Country, they are just children bought from all over the ninja world and even from human traffickers.

After a brutal elimination training, only those who can stay are qualified to wear this mask.

With the name in the first sense.

This is the codename contained in this mask.

Until death, they all represented this codename, until the mask found a new owner.

"kindness."

Qing pursed her lips and showed a forced smile.

The bright moon illuminated the silver snowflakes on the ground, elongating the girl's figure and her long hair fluttering in the wind.

It can be seen that she is not in a good mood.

There was a strong and unyielding smell of blood on Uchiha Tatsu's body.

Every time she returns from a mission, she will have this pungent smell on her body. Qing's little nose is very sensitive, and she doesn't like this smell very much.

But until today...

Only then did she know what this strong and persistent smell of blood meant.

Such a life-or-death mission...

Uchiha Tatsu has executed it countless times.

The mountain wind roared past, whistling in the ears of the two people.

There was a slight silence in the atmosphere, and neither of them knew what to say.

Uchiha Haru is a little tired, and the boy may be afraid...

"I heard Hinata say to the right..."

"Maybe in the village today..."

Then they spoke together.

Their eyes crossed.

Blinked his eyes.

Then he shook his head and smiled a little.

"You speak first."

Qing pursed her lips and showed a sweet smile.

Uchiha Tatsuya felt that his topic was more important, so he paused and spoke first.

"I heard Hinata say to the right..."

Compared to Takeuchi, Uchiha Tatsu prefers to communicate with Hinata.

For Takeuchi...

I don't know why Uchiha Tatsu is not very willing to talk about it.

Inexplicable rejection.

After living for more than thirty years combined, Uchiha Tatsu felt such emotions for the first time.

"You performed very well today, and you don't have to blame yourself or..."

The white-eyed boy's wrist was broken, and his muscles and bones were injured for a hundred days, so he was seriously injured.

Fortunately, there are orthodox medical ninjas in the root team.

Under the palm magic of 'Yukong', his injury was temporarily stabilized, and there would be no risk of it expanding. He would still need to return to the village to complete follow-up treatment through surgery.

Uchiha Haru sat on the cliff speechless. He knew what Uchiha Tatsu wanted to express, which was to persuade her to relax and give her a little encouragement.

"I am okay."

After a while, the girl smiled again, this time much brighter than the forced smile just now.

Like an orchid blooming quietly at night.

The girl's personality is lively and out-of-the-box, but when she is quiet, she also has a... feeling that makes people want to hold it in their hands.

I don’t know why, but Qing’s smile always heals the gloom in the young man’s heart.

It's a fateful bond.

The eyes under the mask blinked, then shifted away, and re-entered the vast snow-white world under the cliff.

He could see that Uchiha Haru's worries were not resolved, but he just wanted to hide them.

Children of this age will still feel a little uncomfortable no matter how mature they are. After all, the environment they grew up in is the relatively peaceful and peaceful Konoha Village, not the war-torn and turbulent Rain Country...

Uchiha Tatsumi sighed slightly, then took off his mask, revealing his delicate cheeks.

A bit pale.

During the mission, taking off the mask is an illegal behavior.

But when had Uchiha Tatsu ever cared about these rules?

If you are dissatisfied, you can naturally go to Danzo to file a complaint.

His relationship with Danzo is very delicate.

Since the last time Uchiha Tatsu presented information about Kakashi to Danzo, the leader of the Roots' attitude towards Uchiha Tatsu has changed slightly.

The betrayal conspiracy is something that is all too familiar to the roots.

Uchiha Tatsu just said one thing to Danzo that day.

"Kakashi is going to kill Danzo-sama."

Not now, but in the future.

He squinted his eyes slightly.

...

far away.

The dog has arranged a cave alone, which is where he will rest today.

In fact, for the root ninja, living in the open air is something he is used to, but he also has something on his mind today.

"Another year has passed."

There was brief confusion in his eyes.

He is like a machine constantly training to complete tasks, and then waiting for the day when he will die generously.

Hinata leaned on the stone to the right, with a bonfire in front of her, emitting light and heat.

He was chatting with the auxiliary ninja "Yukong" of the root team. Medical ninjas are extremely scarce, at least there are no medical ninjas in their team.

A little envious.

Sister Yukong is a very talkative person even though she is from a poor family. Her face cannot be seen clearly with the mask on, and her voice is also very gentle.

Hinata felt a little sad at the same time.

The gap between him and Uchiha Tatsuya is getting wider and wider.

Looking at the two figures sitting in the distance, his shadow was almost invisible.

Yuhi Zhenhong did not disturb the young people's various concerns.

After all, today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunions. We go to the temple to pray for blessings from the gods, bid farewell to the troubled old year, and usher in a beautiful new year.

But now I am outside the capital and cannot return home.

I miss his little daughter a little.

Maybe in two years I can graduate early like them.

Hong's talent for illusions is very good and she inherited his advantages.

He is sure to train Hong into an excellent genjutsu ninja.

"New Year arrived"

Takeuchi no longer pretended to sleep on his side, got up and simply celebrated the New Year with everyone.

A forced smile appeared on his face.
