A month passed quietly, and it was July 10th.
In the past month, Bai Yu has been learning three level 0 spells: [Five Sense Strengthening], [Communication Technique] and [Barrier].
Among them, [Five Sense Strengthening] and [Communication Technique] are relatively simple. Bai Yu learned them in less than half a month. He only needs more practice to master them.
As for [Barrier], which is more difficult and requires certain magic power usage, Bai Yu still needs some time.
Of course, even if you learn these three spells, there is still a big gap between being able to use them quickly in actual combat.
At least until Bai Yu has mastered the [Barrier] spell completely, he can start learning to make magical items.
But before that, Bai Yu had already begun to collect raw materials for making magical items in advance.
Apprentice-level magic items are much simpler than making wizard-level magic items, but that's only relatively speaking.
Considering the conductivity of magic power and the stability of the magic items, Bai Yu mixed a small amount of chakra metal into the magic items to increase the toughness and conductivity.
Normal ninja tools only need to be mixed with a little chakra metal, and the toughness and chakra conductivity will be greatly improved.
Moreover, Bai Yu discovered that the magic conductivity of chakra metal is also very good.
Fortunately, Kushina's financial and connections support her, otherwise chakra metal would not be easily available.
...
Ninja school.
School is over in the evening.
Bai Yu packed his schoolbag and prepared to go home and practice his spells.
Since practicing magic requires a secretive environment, Bai Yu has been practicing alone recently.
But he was stopped by Kushina before he even went out.
She didn't look good.
"White Feather."
"Kushina, what's wrong?"
Bai Yu stopped, thinking that he had not neglected Kushina recently. Although he did not practice with her, he basically went shopping with her when he had time.
Kushina bit her lip gently, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a smile on his face:
"Today is your birthday, how could I forget it!"
As the wizard's apprentice's mental power increases, his memory will become stronger and stronger. Although he does not have photographic memory, things that Bai Yu attaches great importance to will naturally be remembered deeply.
He did remember that Kushina's birthday was July 10th. He was just focusing on magic practice and making demonized items. He didn't expect time to fly by so fast.
After all, it's not even his own birthday. If Kushina hadn't reminded him at the beginning of the year, he might have simply forgotten about it.
"Liar! You obviously just remembered it!" Kushina looked unbelieving.
"How is that possible?! I've even prepared gifts in advance!"
Bai Yu took out a small gift box from his schoolbag and waved it in front of Kushina.
"Tonight, Sister Tsunade and Brother Naoki have something to do, so you will be the only one to spend my birthday with me..."
Kushina lowered her head.
Bai Yu smiled and said: "Even if there are only two of us, I will make you happy! Wasn't it just the two of us last year?"
"Well... Bai Yu, it's great to have you." Kushina raised her head, her face flushed.
After saying that, she ran away first.
Bai Yu looked at Kushina's back and chased after her, feeling that Kushina seemed to have something on her mind.
Don't you want to confess to him?
Bai Yu owes Kushina so much money. If the relationship between friends can still maintain a relatively equal relationship, if they become boyfriend and girlfriend, wouldn't it mean that they will be suppressed by Kushina for the rest of their lives?
Is the pure friendship between the two going sour?
Sure enough, like other women, she coveted his beauty.
...
Come to a high-end restaurant.
During the dinner, as Bai Yu expected, Kushina was not as energetic as usual, but looked worried.
After dinner, Kushina wanted to go home, so Bai Yu offered to see her off.
Kushina is in front, Bai Yu is behind.
Neither of them was the first to break the calm.
Until we are almost to the Thousand Hands Clan.
Kushina paused, and Bai Yu also stopped when he saw this.
"White Feather!" Kushina's eyes were red and she turned around with tears in her eyes.
"Kushina?! What's wrong with you?"
Bai Yu was stunned. Seeing Kushina's sad look, he also felt a little depressed for a moment.
Kushina's voice was filled with tears:
"sorry!
Mom, dad, brothers and sisters are all dead, everyone is dead.
Your parents also died to help the Uzumaki clan.
Sorry~! "
After saying that, Kushina bowed deeply to Bai Yu and apologized.
"It's not your fault!" Bai Yu stepped forward and comforted softly: "Kushina, these things are in the past."
"You really...don't blame me?" Kushina looked uneasy.
Bai Yu grabbed Kushina's shoulders: "My parents sacrificed for the village and for the Uzumaki clan, their companions. They are all heroes who inherited the will of fire! They are my role models!"
And even if we are alone, we can live a good life. The living must live actively for the dead. Our relatives do not want to see us living in depression. "
"For the dead..." Seeing Bai Yu uncovering her scars with a smile to comfort her, Kushina's tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes, and the salty taste lingered in her mouth.
After Kushina calmed down a little, Nobuhiko took out the gift he had prepared long ago.
A black hairband.
"You haven't used the white hair tie I gave you last year. Do you not like the color? The black color should match your beautiful red hair!"
Bai Yu put the hair tie between his hands, came behind Kushina, and tied up her hair.
"It's not that I don't like it..." Feeling Bai Yu playing with her hair, Kushina blushed and spoke as softly as a mosquito.
"Such beautiful hair must be taken good care of."
"knew."
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah!" Kushina took the handkerchief handed over by Bai Yu and quickly wiped away her tears.
"This is the right thing! Otherwise, if you go back, Teacher Tsunade will think that I bullied you!" Bai Yu said with a smile.
"Hmph! How dare you?!"
Kushina waved her fist fiercely.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Bai Yu put on a begging posture.
When the two of them arrived at the gate of the Senju Clan, Kushina took a few steps and then turned back.
"Bai Yu!"
"Um?"
"If I changed, would you still treat me like this?"
"Of course! No matter what you become? You are still Kushina! My... friend!"
"See you!"
"See you tomorrow."
Bai Yu watched Kushina walk into the depths of the clan, then turned and left.
When the sense of peeping in the perception range completely disappeared, Bai Yu's brows furrowed.
Kushina's behavior was so abnormal.
Moreover, while the two were eating, there were actually four ninjas secretly monitoring them, and each one's chakra reaction felt like a jounin level.
...
In the mansion in the center of the Thousand Hands Clan.
Mito Uzumaki was wearing a white kimono, his white hair was combed meticulously, and he was lying peacefully on the bed. He looked clean, tidy, dignified and elegant.
Tsunade and Naoki leaned against the bed, snuggling against Mito, full of reluctance and attachment.
