Chapter 12: Parting

"It's time to leave. Yagamiki said to Shirahoshi lying on the roof.

For half a year, Yagami stayed at Hoshinoya for half a year. At first, he wanted to abduct Little Red Lotus with bad intentions, but later~.

"Xiaoqi, stay for a while. Shirahoshi muttered in Yagamiki's ear.

"Shirahoshi, we can't afford to waste any more time here. Remember what we came out for in the first place? ”

"But, but, Aunt Hoshino's apple pie is really delicious. Uncle Hoshino's people are also very nice and always bring me fruits. Although the little red lotus is very annoying, but, but I can't bear it. Shirahoshi shouted in Yagami's ear.

"You know I can't stay here anymore. I'm sorry, Shirahoshi. Let's go secretly tonight, you don't want to see Little Red Lotus crying. ”

"Not even saying goodbye. Shirahoshi rubbed Yagamiki's face.

"No, I won't be reluctant. ”

"But I really want to stay here. "If snakes could cry, Shirahoshi would have cried.

The white snake lowered its head, and Yagami Qi reached out and stroked it gently.

"Alright, it's really going to go White Star. "The white snake is quite well curled up in the cuffs. Yagami got up and jumped off the roof with a vertical leap.

"Little brother, it's too boring. Leave without saying hello. ”

Yagami turned around, and Uncle Hoshino, dressed in a nightgown, was sitting in the courtyard smoking a cigarette. Hoshino Mu took a cigarette in his mouth, smiling at Yagamiki as he swallowed the clouds and spitted out the fog.

Yagami Ki stared at Hoshino Maki's chin that was bulging from his beard. "Why don't you sleep so late? “

"I can't sleep, my brother is leaving, I'm worried. Hoshino took the flue in his mouth and casually spat out a cloud of smoke.

Yagami walked over to Hoshino and sat down. "How do you know I'm leaving. ”

"I didn't know, I came out in the middle of the night to smoke secretly and bumped into it. Hoshino's eyes were full of cunning.

"Auntie and Xiaolian know that I'm leaving. ”

"I didn't dare tell them. Madame, sentimental people cry. Although Xiaolian doesn't say it, I know that if you leave, she will be the most reluctant. ”

"Xiaolian will be reluctant to me. Thinking back to the appearance of the little red lotus, Yagami couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, do you remember the last time, the child of the Yamada family was trapped in a cave by a wild boar, and she went to find you first. She trusts you a lot. ”

"Maybe in her heart, you are much better than my father. ”

"Don't talk about this, you can take this thing. Hoshino said, pulling out a short knife about a foot long behind his back.

Taking the short knife, Yagami pulled the knife out of its scabbard, and the body of the knife had a beautiful flowing water pattern formed by forging, and it was obvious that the knife was made by folding and forging. A reddish apple was thrown into the sky, and the apple that turned into two halves in a flash of the knife was caught by Yagamiki.

Feeling the feeling of using the knife just now, Yagamiki felt that this knife was very good. He probably knew what Hoshino Muki was doing a month ago, so he should have prepared this short knife.

Feeling warm in his heart, Yagamiki didn't say anything, just pinned the short knife silently behind his back.

"Now that you've got the weapon, aren't you going to give it a try? Hoshino Makimichi

"Haven't I tried it yet?" Yagamiki then saw Hoshino Maki's eyes.

There was no trace of laziness in his eyes, and he was full of war.

The clouds slowly obscured the moon and drifted away again. Under the bright moonlight, Yagamiki looked at the man in front of him with his sword.

"I see, let's go a little farther away. Don't wake them up. ”

"Okay, where are you going, Uncle is just sending you. ”

Chatting all the way, Yagami and Hoshino Maki came to a suitable location. It is next to a small stream, not far from the village, next to a lush forest.

"I think Uncle must let me use ten of my strength. Then I'll hide first, knowing that facing the enemy is never my way of fighting. ”

Taking a step forward, Yagami stepped on the water. His hands were sealed, and his body was filled with a camouflage luster, and Yagamiki gradually blended in with the surrounding scenery. The art of earth and rock concealment!

Holding the handle of the knife in his right hand, Hoshino Mu adjusted his breathing, ran quickly, and stepped forward, and by Yagamiki's side, Hoshino Mu drew his knife without hesitation.

Ding! A tentative diagonal slash was blocked by Yagamiki with a short knife.

The distorted light and shadow slowly receded from his body, and Yagamiki lifted the ninjutsu that had consumed chakra.

"How did you find me, uncle. ”

"By feeling. Intuition, smell, hearing, sight and all kinds of sensations tell me that you are there. It was like standing clearly in front of my eyes. ”

"Although I haven't been proficient in this ninjutsu yet, and the venue for it is very bad, I have to say that you are really powerful, uncle. ”

Ding, ding, ding! The short knife and the katana kept colliding, and the two of them did not move, but the sharp sword shone between the two. Tightly ten breaths, Yagami Qi had to pull back. Compared to the knife technique, he is really not the opponent of Hoshino Makaki, who has been playing with knives for decades.

Retreating to the shore, Yagami looked helplessly at his sleeve, which was split with a big gap.

"Uncle, this dress is very expensive!"

"Haha, I'm sorry. Standing on the surface of the water, Hoshino Maki touched his head embarrassedly.

Opportunity!

Secretly, I stamped it with one hand in my sleeve. Uchiha Itachi's obscene trick Yagamiki has been imitating. It's just that the Yagami Qi seal is very slow.

The water in front of him rose and turned into several columns of water and rushed towards Hoshino Makaki.

Hoshino Stream, Knife Shine Star!

Boom~ The water is scattered. Yagamiki, who was originally going to take the opportunity, quickly jumped back to his original position. He clearly saw the dazzling sword light behind the scattered splashes.

Hoshino Stream, Knife Meteor!

The sharp sword slashed like a meteor, and Yagami stood there, a strand of hair cut by the sword, blown by the wind and fluttering in the wind. Behind Yagamiki, Hoshino Mu castrated and split a large tree in his way.

Yagamiki turned around and saw Hoshino gasping violently, his right hand trembling as he unsheathed his sword.

"I lost!" Yagamiki said dryly. If it hadn't been for Hoshino Makaki's hand just now, he would have been cut in half like a big tree now.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you. With his back to Yagamiki, Hoshino Mu said lightly.

The corners of Hoshino Mu's mouth twitched, this is a sentence that Yagami Qi often said to Little Red Lotus in the past six months. Unexpectedly, her unscrupulous father returned it in this way.

But on the contrary, Yagami really wants to learn. If Yagamiki's ninjutsu talent is an astonishing ten, then his sword technique is almost nine out of ten, which is not much worse than ninjutsu. Lian Yagamiki gradually discovered that he had a good nerve reflex speed and could deal with melee combat well. In this way, knife skills are very important to him.

In this way, ninjutsu, sword skills, far away and near, Yagamiki can be regarded as a relatively comprehensive ninja. Annoyingly, Yagamiki's ninja throwing talent has always been so poor that his melee weapon, until he gets the short knife, has always been a knife that feeds Shirahoshi apples instead of a throwable kunai used by ordinary ninjas.

"Teach me, uncle. Hoshino-ryu's knife technique. Sitting cross-legged by the stream, Yagami asked Hoshino Maki.

Hoshino Mu said with a straight face: "Hoshino Stream can be said to have really formed under my thoughts. After obtaining the Chakra Refining Method, my physical fitness has improved, and I can use my knife skills better accordingly. After combining the ancestral sword techniques of the Hoshino family and the knowledge of my samurai travels. I created the Hoshino Stream knife style, and at present, there are only two types of stars, Bright Star and Meteor, except for the transportation skills. ”

"Let me talk about the capacity ・・・・・・・"

An hour later, Hoshino stopped talking and began to gesture with his sword.

Half an hour later, Hoshino Maki, who was teaching Yagamiki, stopped moving.

"Okay, I've given you everything I've learned, and with your understanding, you can perfect Hoshino-ryu better. ”

"Goodbye, Uncle Hoshino!" Yagami bowed in front of Hoshino Mu, who was sweating profusely because of his sword practice.

A large rough hand covered Hoshino Makaki's head and rubbed it gently.

"Xiaoqi, be careful outside, the world is in chaos now. If you want to be an uncle, an aunt and a little lotus, come back and have a look. ”

"Yes!" lowered his head, and Yagami replied heavily.

"Goodbye, Uncle Hoshino!" Bypassing Yagamiki's shoulder, Shirahoshi said goodbye to Hoshino Maki.

Yagami walked unhurriedly. Only he knew how reluctant he was to be here. For Red Lotus, he does not regret his decision. That little girl shouldn't have left this happy place to face the terrible Orochimaru with herself. The chakra refining method he left behind and the ninjutsu handed over to Red Lotus should be able to avoid the ruin of the Red Lotus family in the future. As for staying, as half of Orochimaru's research product, how could he keep it.

Hoshino stood by the stream, the child dressed in white and with a short knife at his waist had been gone for a long time in the white moonlight.

Only, he always remembers.

In the moonlight, the thin body that was fading away was so lonely.
