The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. The three of them walked slowly, chatting and laughing along the main crossroads of Uchiha Ninja Village, heading towards the upper left corner where the Uchiha tribe lives.
Ino and Sakura were both very surprised by the streets of Uchiha Ninja Village.
Compared to Konoha's semi-cement roads, semi-dirt roads.
The Uchiha Cross main road basically adopts the design of the asphalt road that Bai Yu saw in his previous life, including green belts on the roadside and simple building signs. After entering, people can quickly find food, accommodation, toilets, and other basic facilities. Four types of public areas.
The entire Uchiha Ninja Village.
From roads to buildings.
The feeling it brings to two little girls can be composed of several two-word words, such as: "simple, clean, exquisite, beautiful... etc."
If there was an award for the best civilized ninja village in the ninja world.
Ino secretly thought that she would definitely award it to the Uchiha Ninja Village without hesitation.
Look up.
blue sea, blue sky.
Look around.
Seaside town.
This is the best fantasy the two girls have about their future living area, giving them a dreamy feeling of stepping into a seaside town.
The three people came to the living area.
The buildings here are all simple-looking, two- and three-story wooden houses with white tones and sloping triangular tops. All houses are well-located, and each household has its own courtyard.
Bai Yu led the two of them on the road, and many children from the Uchiha family went out to say hello. These children had sunny smiles on their faces.
Many parents also walked out of the yard and greeted Bai Yu respectfully:
"Sir, did you get off work so early today?"
"Lord Yanying, I have just studied a fish dish and will deliver it to your home later."
"grown ups……"
In the sound of greetings.
Bai Yu replied one by one, and he helplessly looked at Ino and Sakura who were smiling happily.
Ino felt that after migrating out of Konoha, the temperament of the Uchiha tribe had changed drastically in just six months. She suddenly remembered the time six months ago when she, led by her father Haiichi, went to the Uchiha tribe to thank Bai Yu.
At that time, the Uchiha people's dislike of the leaf people had reached its peak.
Ino's mind is extremely delicate, and she can sympathize with the grievances Uchiha faced at that time to be forced to that point. Thinking about it, she raised her head and looked at Bai Yu's back.
Able to change Uchiha by himself.
This young man can really be described with the word "great".
The three of them walked through a bamboo forest.
A cool breeze comes.
Crash--
Countless dead leaves fell from the bamboo forest, like yellow snowflakes flying all over the sky. It was already mid-October and winter was approaching. Even if the country of tea is close to the sea, the temperature will still drop, it will still snow, and many plants will wither.
Bai Yu turned back to look at Ino. Sure enough, there was a dead bamboo leaf stuck to the little girl's yellow ponytail. He stopped and reached out to pluck it from Ino's hair.
Ino smiled with narrowed eyes.
Sakura saw this scene.
A little envious.
Feeling uneasy inside.
She and Zuosuke have not seen each other for half a year, and they have not contacted each other through letters like Ino and Bai Yu. She is very afraid that Zuosuke will forget her, and she is even more afraid that the two of them will become strangers.
Sakura looked at Bai Yu, finally summoned up the courage, and asked weakly: "Bai Yu-kun, um... how is Zuosuke doing recently?"
She also had no other channel to learn about Zuosuke's current situation.
I can only hold the Buddha temporarily.
When Bai Yu heard this, he smacked his lips. This question confused him. Since he settled in the Country of Tea, he has been busy with various affairs, including receiving envoys from various countries, breaking through the economic blockade of two major ninja villages, and recently solving the problem. Caddo Group.
A series of questions came.
He was unable to pay attention to the living conditions of Zuosuke, the "savior of the ninja world".
Bai Yu tried his best to recall everything he heard about Zuosuke from Shisui and Fugaku in his daily life, and said with a smile:
"The Fugaku clan leader's family has reproduced the buildings they had in Konoha. Zuosuke should be able to adapt to the environment quickly."
"The Ninja School will be established soon."
"When the time comes, he will go to Ninja School and continue studying until he graduates."
"In the near future!"
"Uh... Oh, by the way, he is practicing hard. Sakura, you have to work hard, so that you don't fall behind Zuosuke next time we meet."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Sakura scratched her head in embarrassment and smiled: "Uh haha... I will try my best!"
Sakura's sub-personality transformed into a demon and roared in her heart:
"What the hell is this!"
"I'm asking about Zuosuke's current situation!"
"I'm a girl. I just need to be good-looking. Why do I need to practice!"
Ino stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, feeling Bai Yu's slander, and couldn't help but joke: "What, you don't know Zuosuke's current situation at all!"
Bai Yu laughed.
The atmosphere relaxed slightly.
At this moment, the three of them also walked through the bamboo forest and arrived at the outskirts of Fugaku Courtyard.
In the middle of the cabin.
There is a coffee table and the whole room is clean and refreshing.
Mikoto wore an apron, knelt on the wooden floor, wiped the floor with a towel, and fulfilled her duties as a housewife.
She was about to finish cleaning, then cook, and have lunch with her little son at home.
As the eldest elder of the family, the husband is responsible for handing over the tea saplings shipped from Konoha today. He will not come back until later in the evening. The eldest son is not home all year round.
The house is somewhat deserted.
But now that she no longer has to plot "coups" and "reforms" for her husband, she seems to have become much younger and her life is becoming more and more promising.
At this time, Zuosuke was wearing blue short-sleeves and white shorts. He was sitting by the wooden window, closing his eyes and practicing chakra. With his current strength, he could already keenly sense the chakra aura dozens of meters away. .
Able to achieve this level of perception.
Basically reaching the limit of Uchiha. After all, Uchiha is not based on perception.
Later, when Zuosuke tried to win over Xiang Lu, he also said something like "Xiang Phosphorus, are you willing to be my eyes?"
When Mikoto heard the footsteps outside and the laughter of the girls Yingying Yanyan, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and smiled. Although her son was liked by girls, ordinary girls would not dare to come to her family, even in Konoha. in this way.
Zuosuke also sensed those three familiar auras.
The newly refined chakra in his body was disordered and disappeared directly due to his mental restlessness.
Zuosuke raised his head and looked out the window.
Sakura and Ino were pestering Bai Yu and walking towards his yard.
Zuosuke stood up slowly and narrowed his eyes slightly. Mikoto knew that her second son was impatient, so she raised her head and warned him: "Zosuke, be gentler with others."
"Got it, mother!"
Zuosuke walked slowly out and came to the front door of the wooden house. He looked directly at the three people who entered his yard. He had mixed emotions. He looked away from Bai Yu and finally fell coldly on Xiaoying.
Sakura and Ino, who were talking and laughing at first, slowly closed their mouths after seeing the cold Sasuke.
Mikoto hurried out, narrowed her eyes and smiled at the three of them: "Sakura, Ino, long time no see, Master Baiyu, have you eaten? If not, let's come in and have lunch together!"
She was just afraid that her second son would encounter this kind of situation, and before the second daughter could respond with a smile, she pretended to decline.
Bai Yu asked excitedly:
"Mrs. Mikoto, do you want to eat fish for lunch?"
Sakura and Ino looked at each other, and they were a little overwhelmed by Bai Yu's straightforwardness.
The two girls didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Impolite refusal.
I always feel it's not very polite.
However, recalling Bai Yu's straightforward style in Konoha, it made them feel particularly familiar.
"No, no, no, I know you are tired of eating fish, sir," Mikoto narrowed her eyes and smiled softly, "I will make some home-cooked dishes for everyone at noon. Just give the fish to Ino and Sakura to try."
"Okay, Ino-Sakura, come in!"
Bai Yu nodded unceremoniously as if he was back at home. After saying that, he glanced at Zuosuke who was not very happy. There was nothing he could do about it. If he was unhappy, he would have to eat the meal.
Zuosuke still stared at Sakura and said coldly: "Sakura, come with me!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the corridor.
As soon as these words came out.
Sakura was a little flattered, a little overwhelmed for a moment, feeling a little happy, but also extremely nervous, until Ino pushed her out of the three-person team.
Sakura then lowered her head and said "Oh" and shyly followed Zuosuke.
Bai Yu looked at Ino on the side and said softly: "Let's go, I will cook at noon today, and you can help."
Ino said excitedly: "You've learned how to cook here?"
She was doubly surprised and couldn't help but look at Sakura who was leaving with Zuosuke. Ino sighed inwardly. She thought Zuosuke was good before, but now it seems that the cold and aloof male god can't compare to a man who can do it. A heartwarming treasure for rice.
"Mrs. Mikoto, where is the kitchen? I can't eat for nothing. I will cook at noon and Ino will help. You can go and rest first!"
"Eh? Master Bai Yu, you can actually cook?"
"Of course... Ino, come here and help!"
"good!"
There was a bustle of activity in the kitchen.
…
…
In the courtyard of Fugaku's wooden house, at the end of the corridor, there is a spacious training room.
Zuosuke walked into it with a bewildered Sakura and locked the door, scaring Sakura back several steps.
The practice room is dimly lit.
Sakura hesitated and said:
"Zosuke-kun, you...how are you doing lately?"
"I have always missed your days at Konoha Ninja School."
"I also want to write to you like Ino, but I don't have a way to send it. I'm sorry... Sasuke-kun."
After Zuosuke locked the wooden door, he forced Sakura back step by step. The two passed through various sandbags and various wooden stakes for practicing physical skills, and finally reached the edge of the wall.
Sakura leaned her back against the wall, swallowed, and looked at Zuosuke, who looked calm in front of her.
The two were silent for a long time.
Zuosuke's clear eyes, without any distracting thoughts, stared at Sakura and asked coldly: "Naruto, how is he doing in Konoha?"
Sakura: "???"
Sakura's split personality went berserk instantly:
"ah!
! "
"I'll say a few words of concern for you as soon as I open my mouth!"
"Zosuke-kun, you just asked Naruto how he is doing? Are you worthy of my concern? How can Naruto compare to me, how can he be better than me? Does he have a coveted figure? Or does he? A face as beautiful as pink cherry blossoms?"
"Well, Naruto seems to be a boy, so that's okay."
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to pat her chest, and replied seriously:
"He...he's doing well in Ninja School."
"Jiraiya-sama accepted him as his disciple and personally taught him ninjutsu. His current strength has improved by leaps and bounds."
"In the last actual combat assessment, he used his newly learned ninjutsu to defeat Ya."
"In terms of life, it's still the same, sloppy and sloppy, nothing good about it."
As she spoke, Sakura turned her face sideways and spoke a little less forcefully.
Zuo Zhu asked coldly:
"How do you compare with him?"
"I... I fought him in the actual combat assessment last time." Sakura thought carefully about the details and said distressedly: "I was defeated by him in ten rounds. If he was serious, I should have lasted for three rounds at most. .”
"I got it." Zuosuke took two steps back, leaving Sakura with his back, and said coldly: "Sakura, let's fight, I will defeat you in one round!"
"Oh..." Sakura looked at Zuosuke's leaving figure, a little disappointed, and nodded in agreement, but she quickly realized and said in horror: "Ah? Zuosuke-kun, let's have a fight, are you kidding me?" "
Zuosuke had already arrived in the middle of the training ground, turned around and stared at Sakura who was still by the wall, and said calmly:
"No kidding, in the actual combat assessment half a year ago, under Bai Yu's training, Naruto learned the shadow clone and was able to push me into a desperate situation. Now using you as the unit of measurement, it will take three rounds of Naruto's full strength to knock you down. I only need to knock you down in one round to prove that I am better than him!"
Sakura couldn't laugh or cry. She clenched her fists and shook her head in disbelief: "Zosuke-kun... your logic is wrong at all. Even if you beat me in one round... it doesn't necessarily prove that you are better than Naruto."
She collapsed.
We finally meet each other and then enter the practical assessment stage. Is this really good?
Sit down and have some tea.
Enjoy the flowers.
Have a chat.
This is what reunion after a long separation should look like, right?
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zuosuke said in a cold voice with a solemn face, "Let's do it!"
…
…
On the other side, in the hall.
Just as Bai Yu and Ino walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, Sakura screamed and cried outside the wooden house. Mikoto immediately put down the clean bowl she had just taken out of the cupboard.
Bai Yu and Ino followed Mikoto towards the corridor.
boom--
The three of them came to the door of the training room. Mikoto pushed open the wooden door and saw Sakura being captured and imprisoned on the ground by Zuosuke using Taijutsu, crying miserably.
Mikoto: "..."
Ino: "..."
Bai Yu covered his forehead and sighed softly.
Mikoto immediately entered the practice room, pulled away from Zuosuke, and said in panic: "Zosuke, what are you doing?"
Zuosuke looked at Ino and Bai Yu who walked into the training room and said indifferently: "I'm sparring with Sakura."
Mikoto hated the iron, and reproached: "I am a guest, not your training instructor. Please apologize to Sakura!"
"I'm sorry!" Zuosuke didn't want to argue with his mother. He glanced at Sakura, whose arm was almost dislocated by him, shook his head helplessly, and returned to the hall alone.
"Sakura, are you okay?"
Mikoto looked concerned for the frightened Sakura.
Ino also looked worried.
Bai Yu sighed softly, stepped forward and used healing ninjutsu to treat her minor injuries, earning a small wave of medical ninjutsu proficiency.
Sakura was devastated and shook her head in pain to answer Mikoto, feeling extremely depressed inside.
Bai Yu sighed softly.
What happened between Zuosuke and Sakura.
Not interested.
This kind of thing.
Just let it develop naturally.
The three of them returned to the hall. Zuosuke had lunch early and returned to the bedroom alone.
Bai Yu looked at Zuosuke's leaving figure. Judging from the fact that this guy could even attack Sakura, it must be that the Uchiha Ninja School hadn't started yet, which gave this guy some trouble.
Not a big problem.
When the time comes, just let the Ninja School educate you slowly.
The four of them finished their lunch.
Fortunately, Bai Yu acted as the lubricant of the atmosphere, so that the atmosphere would not become extremely awkward. Fortunately, Bai Yu and Ino followed. If Sakura came alone, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ino just saw that scene.
People were frightened.
We haven’t seen each other for half a year. The direction of Zuosuke’s character development is a bit extreme and he can attack Sakura. Fortunately, she met Bai Yu and stopped the loss in time, but she only felt sorry for Sakura.
Bai Yu felt helpless about this.
But these are good results.
If nothing changes, Zuosuke, who will fall into a demonic state in the future, will try to kill Naruto, Sakura, and even Kakashi in the name of cutting off all past entanglements.
That Zuosuke is disappointing.
The three of them said goodbye to Mikoto.
Before the three of them left, Mikoto gave Sakura a small gift to comfort the child, and then she was reluctant to say goodbye to the three of them.
…
…
The three of them came smiling.
Go back in silence.
Sakura is emotionally depressed and feels that her existence will hinder Ino and Bai Yu.
She pretended to smile and said:
"You guys go and play, Ino. We only have half a day, so cherish the time. I will go find Teacher Hong and the others."
As she spoke, she shed tears and ran forward regardless of direction, trying to find a place to hide.
Ino looked at Bai Yu and said worriedly: "She doesn't know the road."
Bai Yu looked calm and snapped his fingers.
Swish——
Two Uchiha ANBU figures half-crouched in front of Bai Yu and Ino, startling Ino.
Bai Yu looked at Sakura's back and said calmly: "When her emotions are released, you can take her back to the Bauhinia Reception Building and find Konoha's envoys."
"Yes!" The two Anbu received the order, nodded and disappeared.
for this arrangement.
Ino was satisfied.
Bai Yu could use his shadow clone to follow Sakura, but that wouldn't be appropriate. He knows how to measure.
After Sakura left, Ino lamented: "I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen after such a good meeting."
"My problem." Bai Yu replied without any secret, "Let's go, Ino, you must have never seen the sea before, I'll take you to see the sea!"
Ino was extremely pleasantly surprised, nodded excitedly, and shrugged: "What does Zuosuke's problem have to do with you? My Lord Engying really cares about every one of his subjects!"
Looking at the sea is not about how beautiful the sea is.
It’s about who is with you.
This is the thought of many little girls.
Bai Yu smiled happily and said: "Don't worry, Zuosuke will get better. I don't dare to say how good he can get. Try to make him as normal as possible. Just give me half a year."
"There's no need to force it." Ino looked up at the blue sky and sighed: "Everyone has some characteristics, just like the stars in the sky. Although they all emit light, some are strong and some are weak."
"You're right. It seems that Ino, you have been studying hard recently."
"Hehehe, that's it!"
The two of them walked towards the seaside.
My mood gradually recovered.
Chatting one after another:
"Bai Yu, were you the one who conceived the buildings of Uchiha Ninja Village, including the building with a flame-like appearance?"
"Yes, I participated in the conception of most of the buildings. The flame-like appearance of the building symbolizes that the Ninja Village will burn everything like fire in the Ninja World. The high-temperature flames of the Uchiha Ninja Village are composed of freedom, tolerance, equality, and the rule of law. , not Konoha’s will of fire.”
"Is this Uchiha's will?"
"Haha, you can't be so narrow-minded. In short, the kind of flame I expect is opposite to all disorder and chaos, and it blooms above order!"
"It's so profound! Hehe, by the way, Bai Yu, the moonstone orchid you gave me last time really helped me a lot. I have learned the family secret!"
"Not bad, fine. Do you need us to have a fight to test your results?"
"Hmph, can you do it?"
