Huali asked suspiciously, "That'...... What about his parents?"

"He's an orphan," Shisui paused and lowered his eyes, "His parents died when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, and now he lives alone, and there are many orphans like him in Konoha." ”

"......" Hanari blinked and sighed softly, "I don't know why, I seem to know why he likes to play pranks, that kid...... It's pathetic. ”

"Hanari, don't approach him casually because he is pitiful," Shisui frowned at her, "That child's identity is too sensitive, and rashly approaching him will only attract the attention of Konoha higher-ups, and originally because of the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, Uchiha and Konoha have already been estranged, although you don't belong to Uchiha, but now you live with me...... Huali, you should understand, right?"

Hanashi nodded, "I understand, but why are Uchiha and Konoha estranged because of the Nine-Tails' attack on the village?

"No ......" Shisui looked at his clenched hands with a solemn expression, "Hanali, Uchiha's writing wheel eye can control the Nine-Tails, and when the Nine-Tails attacked the village that night, it looked like he had fallen into an illusion. ”

Cold sweat suddenly oozed from Hanari's back, so Konoha suspected that it was Uchiha's people who lured the Nine-Tails to attack the village? No wonder Shisui warned her not to approach the child, if she deliberately approached, maybe Konoha suspected that Uchiha was fighting the Nine-Tails.

"It's terrible," Hanari pouted, "I'd better stay at home quietly, it's better not to go anywhere." ”

"What are you thinking, stupid. Zhishui couldn't help but reach out and touch Huali's head, and then laughed again.

Huali's birthday came quickly, and as soon as Zhishui returned from a mission, he found that tomorrow was her birthday, and he hadn't thought about what gift to give.

While going to hand over the mission to Miyo-sama, Shizui met Itachi who had just come out of it at the door of Hokage's office, and he smiled and patted Itachi on the shoulder, then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Zhishui, you're back," the third generation sat behind a desk full of Wen Jiàn, and took a slow puff of cigarette, "How is the mission?"

"Shun lì is done," Zhishui stepped forward, took out the task scroll from his body and handed it to him, and then smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked, "There are no casualties in the team. ”

"Sure enough, you're very reliable," the third generation touched his beard and laughed, "Zhishui, although you have just finished the mission, we still have a mission to ask you tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" Zhishui was stunned and laughed helplessly, "That...... Three generations of adults, can this task be entrusted to someone else? Tomorrow is Hanali's birthday, and I promised her to stay with her at home. ”

"......" Sandai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a slow puff of cigarette and said, "Zhishui, only you can do this task, let others go, I don't have confidence." ”

"But...... Three generations of adults, I ......"

"Stop the water," the third generation interrupted him in a deep voice, "There will be another birthday, you can't do it again if you fail the mission, and you have to lose even the most basic consciousness of being a ninja?"

"......" Zhishui was silent for a while, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"Come to me tomorrow to get the task scroll," the third generation waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said a little unbearably, "When this mission is over, I will give you a few days off, and you can accompany her well." ”

Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I know, thank you for the three generations." ”

Coming out of the Hokage's office, Shisui saw Itachi leaning against the wall waiting for him at a glance, he was stunned, closed the office door with his backhand and walked towards Itachi: "You also have a task?"

"No," Itachi shook his head, "Actually, the three generations want me to join the Shadows. ”

Zhishui froze and looked at him with some surprise: "Shadows?"

Itachi was able to join the Shadows, and for the Uchiha, who had been unable to enter the power center, wasn't it proof that Konoha began to accept the Uchiha?

Zhishui's mood, which was still a little low just now, instantly became happy, and he laughed and patted Itachi's shoulder: "The patriarch will definitely be happy!"

"Hmm. Itachi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a shallow smile.

When he got home, when he was changing his shoes in the hallway, he suddenly remembered that he had a task tomorrow, and the scene where Hanari told him his birthday wish a few days ago was still vivid, but he couldn't realize it.

Hanari, who was studying the physical scroll in the house, heard the movement, got up and walked to the entrance, and saw Shisui who was changing his shoes and said, "I'm back, why don't you make a sound, it scares me." ”

“…… Well," Zhishui pursed his lips and was silent for a while, but he still raised his head and said, "Huali, I'll ...... tomorrow There are tasks. ”

Huali was stunned, and then nodded: "Well, I know." ”

Her reaction was too bland, and Zhishui was a little flustered for no reason, if she was angry or complaining, he could comfort her, and now this kind of answer made Zhishui have to prepare a stomach and swallow it all.

Even if there is no expression on the surface, but Huali's mood should not be good, I didn't say anything to him, I washed up early and went to sleep in the room, and I sat in the living room for a long time, until the time was close to midnight, he got up from the sofa and walked to Huali's room.

The door of her room was unlocked, the light moonlight shone in through the window, and the water stopped without making a sound of footsteps, and slowly walked to her bedside and stopped, she seemed to sleep soundly, breathing slowly and evenly, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.

Zhishui couldn't help but stretch out his fingers, wanting to poke her delicate and soft cheeks, but stopped abruptly when he was about to touch her, then withdrew his hand, turned and walked out the door.

Slowly closing the door, Zhishui looked at the room that was getting narrower and narrower in his field of vision, sighed lowly, and then said, "Happy birthday...... I'm sorry. ”

The door was completely closed, and the flower pear in the room immediately opened her eyes, she looked at the ceiling where there was nothing motionless, and all kinds of complicated feelings in her heart were surging, and finally closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.

When the sky was bright, Huali woke up, she rolled on the bed over and over for a while, but still couldn't sleep, so she could only rub her eyes and choose to get up.

Zhishui didn't know when she had gone out, the house was quiet and could only hear her own voice, and occasionally there was the "quack" cry from the crows outside the window, after washing her face and brushing her teeth, Huali opened the refrigerator to get a little milk, but found that there was a paper bag in the most conspicuous place in the refrigerator.

She was very familiar with this paper bag, and it must be a doughnut inside, yes, Hanari pouted, did not move the paper bag, but took out the milk inside, and closed the refrigerator door.

Drinking milk and eating bread alone, Hua Li is a little unhappy, this birthday is no different from the world she used to have, it is simply the same loneliness.

No, it's better to say that in the original world, she still has her grandfather, and there are still red leaves and nightmares, but in this world, no one is there, only stop the water.

"Yo, Hanali!"

There was a knock on the window twice, and Hanari looked up at the window, where Yuren was waving at her with a smile on his face.

I wanted to ignore him, but I kept knocking on the glass without reluctance: "Huali, Huali, open the door, I'm here to celebrate your birthday." ”

Being noisy by him, Hua Li grabbed her hair irritably, but still got up and opened the door: "Who sued you!"

"Itachi," Yuren showed her the big cake and a large bag of food and drink in his hand, and then leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "I can't accompany you when I stop the water to do the mission, so I reluctantly help him celebrate your birthday." ”

"......" Hanari rolled her eyes and tried to close the door, "No need. ”

"Eh, wait!" The human eye quickly blocked the door she was about to close, "Huali, it's supposed to celebrate her birthday, why don't you use it, see that I have bought everything, so sincere to come to you, do you want to drive me back?"

"......" Hua Li glanced at the thing in his hand, sighed and took a step back, "Come in." ”

Yuren's face immediately showed a happy expression, and he was quickly pressed down: "This is Huali's fifteenth birthday, right?"

"Well," Hanari closed the door and walked towards the living room, "Actually, you don't have to buy so many things to bring here, even if you add water, you won't be able to eat it all." ”

"It's okay, you can eat slowly if you can't finish eating," the person took out all kinds of snacks and pastries and put them on the table, poured her drinks, and then opened the cake box and inserted candles one by one.

Hua Li looked at the candle and was silent for a moment before she spoke, "There is no firearm at home. ”

"What more ignition do you need in front of the Uchiha," Yuren patted his chest proudly, and his hands quickly sealed, "Fire escape, Impatiens Technique!"

A few small clusters of flames fell on the candle and then slowly burned.

Yuren pushed the cake in front of her with satisfaction: "Make a wish!"

The ignition method of "......" made Huali embarrassed for a while before she bent down and prepared to blow out the candle.

"Wait!" Yuren stretched out his hand to block the pear that was about to blow, "You haven't made a wish yet." ”

"Make a wish or something...... It doesn't have to, it can't be achieved anyway. "As a psychic, Hanali is very clear about making a wish, and no god will listen to her wishes, just words.

"No, what if it comes true?" said Yuren glaring at her strongly, "just make a wish!"

"......" Huali has always been unable to resist him, so she can only nod helplessly and say, "Okay, I make a wish." ”

After closing her eyes with her hands folded, Huali silently prayed in her heart for a while, and then opened her eyes, and looked at her with her chin propped up and smiling: "What wish did you make?"

"......" Hanari looked at him expressionlessly, "Ah, I hope you can go home immediately." ”

"Poof," Yuto suddenly laughed, "Hanali, it seems that your wish will not come true, you should seize the opportunity to make a better wish." ”

"What if it happens? Hua Li pursed her lips, not arguing with him verbally, but her heart was slightly sour, her wish was nothing more than ...... Hopefully, Zhishui will come back today.

"Come on, cheers!" the man raised the cup in his hand and stretched it out to her, and when he saw that she didn't move, he urged, "Hurry!"

Hua Li hesitated to raise the cup, the transparent glass made a crisp collision sound in mid-air, and the person withdrew his hand and drank the drink in one gulp, and Hua Li watched him drink it with a bang, before he raised the cup to his mouth, took a small sip, and then "poof" all spewed out-

"Wine?!"

Staring at the orange-yellow drink in his hand in surprise, Hanari immediately raised her head and glared at Yuren: "Didn't you say it was a drink?"

"It's almost the same for me," Yuren said nonchalantly, "Hanashi doesn't like it?"

It's not just that I don't like it!

The bitter taste in her mouth gradually spread throughout her mouth, Hua Li picked up the water on the table and poured a big mouthful, wanting to wash away the residual taste in her mouth, but someone looked at her inexplicably: "Is it so annoying?"

"Yes," Hanari pulled out the candle, then cut a piece of cake and handed it to him, and cut another piece for herself, "I like sweet, donuts and cakes are my favorite, and I don't want to touch bitter things." ”

"Hahaha," Yuren laughed again, "Huali, you are still too young, sweet can only be sweet for a while, your heart is still bitter, but wine can make people forget even the troubles in their hearts." ”

"It's so high-sounding, isn't it drunk," Huali pursed her lips, squinted her eyes and swallowed a large mouthful of sweet and greasy cream, "I don't want to get drunk." ”

"Okay, okay, then change the juice," the eyes of the man fell on the milk glass on the table, and the corners of his mouth curled a little teasingly, "or...... Milk?"

Hua Li angrily picked up the glass and walked to the kitchen: "I have juice!"

After finally sending the noisy people away, the sky was already slightly dark, Hua Li returned to the room and looked at the mess on the table, and sighed a little tiredly, by the people talked a lot, the atmosphere was basically not cold, and the direct consequence of the guide was that she felt so tired now that she didn't want to clean it up at all.

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, it was already pointing to seven o'clock, and the water stop hadn't come back yet, so it should be ...... I'm not coming back.

Exhausted and collapsed on the sofa, Hanari had just rested for a while, but she felt thirsty, she had to get up and go to the kitchen, open the refrigerator and get a drink.

As soon as she opened the refrigerator door, she saw the doughnuts in a conspicuous place, she hadn't touched them today, and after taking out the water, Huali hesitated for a moment, but still took out the bag of doughnuts.

Because it has been left for too long, the doughnut has been a little cold and hard, completely lost its soft taste, and it doesn't seem to be so sweet anymore, Huali put the doughnut aside with some disgust, and looked at the cake that was swept away by her, and her heart became a little empty.

"Wine can make people forget the troubles in their hearts. 』

Thinking of Yuren's words for no reason, Hanari was stunned, then lay on the table and buried her head in the crook of her arm.

"Just drink a little bit...... I guess, I wouldn't get drunk. ”
