Scourge of Naruto

Silver light paved the way, and the night was so quiet that you could hear the chirping of flying insects.

Ye Zi looked at the girl who made him irritated and said coldly: Is something wrong?

The two short words made the air feel a little chillier, and the chirping of insects seemed to have subsided at this moment.

The young man exuded an aura of indifference that would repel people thousands of miles away, but Kushina did not flinch at all. She moved her eyes away from the bandaged place and turned to look at Ye Zi's cold eyes, her tone was like He was as natural as he was more than a year ago. He smiled and said, What is that in your hand? Is it delicious?

Ye Zi glanced at the lunch box in his hand, and then looked at Kushina with a smile in silence, feeling increasingly irritable.

Looking at the silent Ye Zi, a trace of disappointment flashed in Kyuuki Na's eyes, but it was quickly filled with bright light. Like a chatterbox, she continued to ask: The little flowers on the cloth wrapping the lunch box are very cute. , it seems to be a girl, is she your new friend? Is the food she cooks delicious?

Under the silver light, the girl kept chattering. Under the moonlight, Ye Zi's eyes were still full of indifference, but he looked at Kyuuki Na carefully and seriously. As he grew older, that beautiful face seemed to be changing with the most beautiful face in his memory. Important people slowly overlap, and maybe in two or three years, they will look more similar.

You know? I am very good at cooking now. After you laughed at me that time, I worked hard to learn it.

Feeling Ye Zi's unchanging indifferent gaze, Kushina's cheerful tone slowly became deeper, and a touch of sadness appeared in her eyes. To this day, she still doesn't understand how Ye Zi became so sudden and indifferent.

She slowly closed her mouth, and after a moment of silence, she finally said what she wanted to ask most: Why are you injured? Does it hurt?

The straps that almost covered the whole body showed that the injuries suffered were not minor. How could it not hurt?

Ye Zi's cold eyes changed slightly. In his memory, at that time, he would fight for even a piece of moldy bread. Sometimes picking up stinky seafood was like finding a treasure, and what followed was even more... After a fierce fight, every time he returned to his simple residence with wounds all over his body, someone would look at his wounds with a look of regret, and then he would always say this to himself.

An imperceptible sadness passed through his dark pupils. He stared at Kushina silently. After a moment, he slightly lifted the lunch box and said coldly: Is there anything else?

Kushina was stunned, then slowly lowered her head and whispered: It's okay.

Ye Zi looked at Jiu Xingna who lowered his head, but his cold eyes became extremely soft at this moment, like an iceberg melting. The eyes were frighteningly gentle, as if the person in front of him was an extremely precious relative, but very Quickly, those gentle eyes returned to coldness.

Minato, who was hiding in the dark, caught Ye Zi's fleeting tenderness, with a slightly stunned look on his face, and then he watched Ye Zi disappear from sight thoughtfully.

On the silent street, Kushina stared at the ground covered in silver light with a sad expression. After a moment, she raised her head, still with that strong expression. She looked at the road ahead and took the first step vigorously. , the second step.

Minato was walking on the roof, looking sideways at the girl under the moonlight, walking with her.

They were walking on the same road, in the same direction, but in the other direction, on the other road, was the boy who seemed to have a touch of tenderness in his cold shell.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Every day after that, Ye Zi always received blood-tonifying food cooked by the medical ninja. He silently thanked the girl. Thanks to these nourishing dishes, his body recovered faster than usual. Occasionally they meet inadvertently, but there seems to be an indescribable tacit understanding between them. They never look at each other twice, and the relationship is not even a nod of acquaintance.

Ye Zi doesn't want to have too much involvement with this world. He can wake up and thank her when he is being treated, because that is her job, so he will not let the other party prepare these foods for himself that can make the body heal faster. Just say thank you, even though saying thank you is so simple.

He had his reasons, but what about the girl?

Sometimes he would wonder why the girl did what she did, but every time he would quickly suppress his doubts, turn around and plunge directly into the sea of ​​books.

Two weeks later, Ye Zi, who had recovered from his injuries, was quickly assigned the next mission, which was to assassinate spies hidden in Konoha.

After the last time he narrowly escaped death and stole confidential information about the identities of spies from the Iwa Ninjas, Gen immediately carried out a secret purge of Konoha. However, truly outstanding spies will not stay in the Ninja Village. Identity information, they have excellent disguises and terrible ability to steal intelligence. No one knows who their intelligence handover is, and no one knows what method they use to deliver intelligence.

These outstanding Iwa Ninja spies are hidden in Konoha. There is no connection between the spies and the spies. Each spy has a specific contact person, and the only person who knows the identity of all the spies is the main person in charge of the intelligence agency.

Spies are very troublesome.

Although the information stolen by Ye Zi cleaned the spies, it did not reveal the most critical point.

However, the roots of Konoha are not vegetarian. They found three suspects in just two weeks, and Ye Zi's task is to observe and confirm the true identities of these three suspects, and then... kill them Lose!

Among the three suspects, there is an old man named Kimura Takuyang whom Ye Zi knows. This old man lives alone. According to the intelligence information, the old man is a very senior ordinary resident of Konoha. He has been a member of Konoha since the village was founded. The first batch of residents, apart from never marrying a wife, there is nothing strange in their life experiences. It is difficult to imagine that an old man with such seniority would be one of the suspects.

Kimura Takuyang.

Ye Zi looked at the information quietly and thought, wasn't the first task after graduating from the Ninja School to help this old man living alone clear the weeds? I still vaguely remember the old man's aging face and the kind smile he showed from time to time. Such a person could be one of the suspects.

His cold eyes fell on the person in the photo. The wrinkled skin looked like dying tree bark, and the speckled old age spots highlighted the twilight-like lifelessness. Only the pair of eyes that were not cloudy were still beautiful. There is Qingming.

At dusk, Ye Zi was wearing casual clothes and walking towards Kimura Takuyang's home carrying the yokan he bought from Isakaya.

Kimura Takuyang lives in the suburbs. There are fields next to his home, and he has a large field that he uses to grow vegetables.

When the sun sets in the west, right at the end of the field path, Ye Zi can see the wooden house illuminated by orange light from a distance, as well as Kimura Takuyang sitting on the wooden corridor holding hot tea.

Ye Zi walked towards the wooden house with a natural pace, stayed in front of the fence gate, and shouted to Kimura Takuyang: Grandpa Kimura, I'm here to see you.

oh?

Kimura Takuyang's left eye was squinted, but his right eye was raised, as if it was difficult to open it, and he looked at the young man in front of the fence gate. His open right eye showed confusion, and he tried hard to think of who the young man was, and then, He looked at the yokan next to the teapot, and then suddenly said: It's you, come in, ho ho.

Ye Zi smiled slightly, pushed open the fence door and walked in.

Kimura Takuyang patted his side gently and signaled Ye Zi to sit down. The latter sat down obediently. When he was about to hand the yokan he bought to the old man, he suddenly saw the yokan in the saucer next to the teapot and was startled. The faint fragrance that wafts to your nose indicates that this is the yokan from Ishiya.

Kimura Takuyang looked at the packaging box that Ye Zi handed over, smiled, and said: This afternoon, the girl who used to be with you also came to visit me with yokan. You are really thoughtful. You still remember the old man. I like it. Eat the yokan from the house below.

When he heard that Kushina was coming this afternoon, Ye Zi's expression did not change. He smiled slightly, handed the yokan to Kimura Takuyang, and said, Are you okay?

I'm an old man. What can be wrong? I won't live for a few more years. But when I see you all full of vigor, I always feel that I can live for a few more years. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the upcoming The setting sun cast its last afterglow and let out a long sigh.

Ye Zi smiled and said: You are going strong and you will definitely be able to live for several more decades.

The old man's eyes slightly curved and he said: The sun has set. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay for dinner.

Ye Zi's eyes changed slightly and he agreed happily.
