11. Chapter XI

Although the fireworks display is held at night, it is lively from dusk.

The roadside stalls and snacks of all kinds, from apple candy to meatballs, are varied, and the aroma of the food alone attracts many passers-by to salivate, and many children are surrounded by many stalls.

Traditional yukata is an indispensable part of the summer fireworks festival with its simple style and bright colors, and is worn by both men and women.

The complexion of the spike is not white, it is light brown, the body is moderate, and the height is small. Her brown hair was coiled into a bun, with a few strands of hair falling down, and a pair of clear and bright brown eyes, with a bit of innocent curiosity, very beautiful.

She was wearing a pale pink yukata and looked a little happy as she stood in front of the young ninja in the dark blue yukata.

The boy was puzzled for a moment, but was distracted by the next arrangement, and the girl tilted her head and smiled, with a little joy in her heart.

I was given a yukata for the first time!

Although Hoko understands that this is because she didn't bring money to buy a yukata, reason is one thing, emotion is another, and it doesn't affect her good mood.

There are also many game stalls in the fireworks festival, such as goldfishing, and girls who have never seen these before are attracted to attention. However, she understood the priorities of the matter and did not say anything.

Izuna noticed her gaze and said to the girl in some way.

"I'll get it for you."

The girl's eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky for a moment: "Thank you, Senna-sama!" ”

What a foul, Izuna blinked, slightly hooking the corners of her mouth.

Then the young ninja poured a basin of cold water: "What if...... I'm afraid your fish will be thrown away. ”

Suiko was momentarily disappointed, and then perked up: "It's okay. ”

…………………………

Finally fighting their way out of the encirclement, two top ninjas took a break in the woods.

There are some large and small injuries on their bodies, and the smell of blood is very strong, I am afraid that they can be chased without the perceptual type to endure it, just tracking the bloody qi.

Nohara Jiang swallowed a soldier food pill supplement body lΓ¬, and threw one to the white-haired young man: "You check her, I'm not proficient in these." ”

Kazuma nodded, examining the woman's hands and feet.

This wandering girl's name is Hanashi, and she is an out-and-out beauty - just by her appearance, she can tie with Taifu Hojo. At this moment, the woman who was knocked out by Nohara Jiang and fell asleep with her eyes closed showed a little weakness and serenity, which was even more pitiful.

It's a pity that neither the white-haired boy nor the black-haired young man is a person who pities the jade, and the white-haired boy does not hesitate to check up and down, his movements are a little rough because of his eagerness, and there is no thought in his eyes.

As for the brunette youth? He knocked people out, how do you think he would react? =。 =

"By the way, Kazuma," while the white-haired boy was checking, Nohara Jiang raised the question of "can your ninja hawk contact them in the column?" ”

His hand did not stop, and he nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, I will send him a message later." ”

"It's them, don't be too prejudiced against the Uchiha." Nohara Jiang corrected, looking at the look on the door, he knew that he didn't listen, this is not something that can be solved in a day or two, the black-haired young man sighed: "Forget it." ”

The hands between the doors were sealed, and a few spells were performed on the woman, and Nohara Jiang watched his movements: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, this kind of magic vortex clan is better at it, I don't have any research, and I can't solve it in a short time." He said calmly: "Let's seal it first." ”

The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan often marry, and the princess of this generation of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Mito, is the cousin of the pillars, so although the pillars don't understand this at all, the pillars know something.

However, because there is no research, it is limited to understanding.

As he spoke, Nohara Jiang tried his best to bandage his wounds, accepted the job of writing letters, and motioned for Shinohara to go to Nohara's side and began to bandage his wounds.

………………………………

Not to mention how the pillars and Madara who received the message discussed and were in a hurry to meet, the fireworks display was very lively.

Under the bustling sound of the crowd, the girl looked down at her bowl, and there was only a poor fish in the white bowl, and she puffed up her bun face in a little depression.

The young ninja chuckled lightly and tried fishing with a paper bag first, but the result was quite unpleasant. After a few heroic moments, looking at the girl's somewhat speechless gaze, he simply stepped aside and observed the movements of the others fishing for goldfish.

Feeling that he had mastered it, the boy fished it up again, this time he caught three goldfish and handed the water bag to the girl.

The girl took it over happily and said with a smile, "Izumi-sama is so powerful! ”。

Her attention was on the goldfish, whether it was teasing or not, and she didn't notice the young ninja's somewhat empty expression.

Observe something with the Sharingan...... Forget it, it's even more humiliating for a ninja to not even be able to catch a goldfish.

Izuna silently comforted herself.

With a sudden sound, everyone looked up at the sky, and a cloud of colored light rose rapidly, blooming in the air, turning into countless small points of light, illuminating the night sky.

The fireworks display began.

Then the colorful fireworks are like a meteor shower, like the most beautiful visual feast. Colorful fireworks in the summer

The night blooms and falls, like a sky full of stars, and like a grand rain of light.

At this time, Izuna's gaze became sharp, and the three hooks slowly turned in the pupils that had quietly turned red, and it was the blood of the Uchiha family, Sharingan!

He finally waited for what he had to wait.

………………………………

Another battle is over.

Compared with the first walk, the black-haired young man after the break was more miserable, the bandaged wound on his body was cracked open again, three ribs were broken, one of which was very close to the lungs, and if it was not treated in time, I am afraid that it would fall into sequelae, and even life-threatening.

He frowned stiffly, at this moment he desperately hoped that his eldest brother was here - medical ninjutsu could at least alleviate the injuries of the young man in front of him.

The black-haired young man leaned aside a little weakly, still holding the knife in his hand, and at the moment he felt sleepy, but he still persistedβ€”the countless experiences of birth and death told him that it would be a big trouble to sleep.

The white-haired boy was lowering his head to help him bandage, his hair inadvertently rubbed against his chest, a little itchy, Nohara Jiang thought of the boy when he was a child, and glared at him every time he rubbed his hair.

Nohara Jiang has never told sΓΉ about the door, and it is because of his reaction that he will rub it a few more times.

Anyway, his eldest brother never cares (Juvenile Door: ...... )。

The black-haired young man sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the white-haired boy's head again, and sure enough, the boy looked up at him with a little unhappiness in surprise.

Well, it's still soft. Nohara put down his hand casually.

"It's fine." The black-haired young man comforted his juniors: "I have also suffered more serious injuries. ”

This is indeed the truth, the black-haired young man has escaped death several times in his life, and when he was a teenager, that man used hatred to guide him to grow up, so that he could protect himself in this troubled world; The girl crowned him with her life and kept him going; Countless battles had sharpened him, blood and pain, all too familiar to him.

His life is like a knife in his hand, constantly being sharpened.

Either it's worn out or it's sharper.

The white-haired boy didn't know what the black-haired young man had gone through, but he just looked at him with a little melancholy and a little self-deprecating gaze, inexplicably unhappy. He didn't dwell on this topic, but said seriously: "Next time I'll break off." ”

The black-haired youth didn't answer, and seemed to be resting, so he continued to bandage it.

Am I so useless to let a little ghost break it?

………………………………

"Izumi-sama!" The girl looked at the young ninja in front of her, and there was a little moisture in her eyes, but she forcibly held back.

"It's fine." The teenage ninja said so.

It's okay - it's weird! The right hand bone is cracked, the left leg is fractured, the rib is broken, the abdomen is a little deep, and there are large and small wounds on the body.

What a wolf! The young ninja thought with a wry smile, now in this state, he can't hold on to another wave of ninjas.

However, this wave was killed by him, and it will definitely take a while for the next wave to come. Although there were some miscalculations, it was not too much of a loss.

If it weren't for the protection of this girl, his injuries would have been lighter, but - she was the object of the mission! Naturally, it is necessary to ensure safety.

But...... Is that really all there is to it? Izuna thought that he didn't believe it himself.

His consciousness was a little confused, and he heard the girl's cry in his ears: "Don't sleep, Izumi-sama!" ”

He blinked, thought for a moment, and said to the girl, "Let's say something." ”

The girl nodded.

"Soβ€”shall I speak first?" Izuna said this, saying something about his own life, such as the battle between Senju and the Uchiha, such as the death of his father and brother, and then his surviving brother.

When he said the last one, his eyes were very bright, and the girl on the side looked at it with some envy, looked longingly, and muttered, "It's so good......"

"What about you?" Izuna asked, the girl was silent for a long time, her eyes were confused and sad, and Izuna quipped: "If you don't say it, I'm going to sleep." ”

"Don't-" Hoko said anxiously, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she said solemnly, "Please don't sue anyone else." ”

Izuna seemed to realize the weight of the matter, but curiosity prevailed and just said, "Okay." ”

He soon regretted it.

……………………

Hoko Hanasaki was born into a poor family, and when she was six years old, she was sold by her parents to Hanajie in order to feed her parents and brother.

At that time, Suizi was yellow-skinned and small, so they just wanted her to serve the wandering girl.

There were quite a few children who were sold here, and they were not allowed to go out, and gradually, many children were taken away, and the people who took them were well-dressed and had indifferent expressions.

Hoko met a lovely sister who was six years older than her, her name was Hana Chiba, and she had a younger sister (she was three years older than Hoko) named Hanari Chiba, who couldn't see her face because she was still young and hadn't grown.

Hana is twelve years old, just like a young girl, even if it's not beautiful, she is still brilliant in a group of hairy children, because she is often uneasy.

She always used ash to make herself and Suizi Huali very dirty, and she couldn't see her face. It was when Suizi and Huali were still very young, and it was the age of being active, and girls loved to be beautiful, and a certain layer of gray every day was very uncomfortable, so they were always unwilling.

They have innocent and childish smiles on their faces, and in their eyes, life is much better now than before.

In the eyes of the current Suizi, how ridiculous they were at that time...... It's sad again.

She is willing to live a life of not having enough food and clothing, and countless times, she wants to go back to the past.

The prelude to the nightmare was an ordinary day, and the beautifully dressed and well-mannered woman walked in again, she was pulled out by the sunlight for a long reflection, and Hoko could not remember her face and expression at that time, and she took Hana and Hanashi, and the thin Hoiko was not chosen.

Suiko cried and didn't want to be separated from her sister, and Hanari was also very reluctant, but Hana, who had always loved Suiko, opened Suiko's hand fiercely, and she said fiercely, "Don't follow us!" ”

At that time, Suizi was very sad, she felt that she was abandoned, and she felt that Sister Hana was so ruthless, but she didn't know that she had escaped.

Hanari took advantage of her sister to talk to the woman and secretly said to Hoko, "Sister is really...... Actually, you can sneak over......" Hoko stopped crying and nodded.

Two years later, Suizi was selected to serve the end, she was a newcomer, and she did the most tiring work, but Suizi was young and well-behaved, and some old people who were no longer wandering girls would help her some.

Suiko and Hanashi are in constant contact, and the conversation between the two children is not taken seriously, and they are lucky, so they keep it by mistake.

Recently, Suizi often heard Hanari complain that her sister couldn't find anyone at night, and wanted to ask Suiko to come over secretly, Suizi thought about it and planned to sneak over first to surprise Hanari.

The moonlight that night was actually very good, but in the later memories of Suizi, it was dim and blurry. Suiko made a plan, was excited for a long time, and waited quietly for everyone to sleep, before secretly getting out of bed alone and running to Hana's residence in memory.

It seemed like a normal night, and later Suiko wondered if the surface of every dirty quagmire was calm; Is it the prelude to every nightmare that the dreamer does not know how it develops?

When she got there, Suiko walked to Hanari's room, there was no one inside, she was stunned for a moment, and wondered if Hanashi was going to look for Hana, she didn't talk to Hana for a long time, she didn't want to go to Hana, and planned to leave.

At this time, she vaguely heard some sounds, not like it was made by a person, and wondered if Hana Hana Hanari came back together, she was afraid that Hana would see her punished, so she hid in the closet first. The wardrobe is relatively small, so she is small, so she is stuffed down.

Through the cracks, she saw the most painful scene in her life.

Fourteen-year-old Hana's clothes were torn, revealing large patches of skin, and her eyes grabbed a man with many bruises and purples on her skin, and the man was pulling at Hua Li roughly, and the face of the eleven-year-old β–‘β–‘ child was full of fear.

The man's gaze was disgusting and terrifying, and Hua Li couldn't stop crying, desperately struggling to escape, but she was still pulled, held down hard, and her clothes were torn. She screamed loudly.

Hana stumbled into the room and grabbed the man hard, "She's still young...... I'll do it, anything! ”

She's only fourteen!

The man pushed her down and yelled, "Get out! ”

The weak Hana staggered a little, crawled over with difficulty, and pleaded, "Please, don't do this...... Please! β€οΌŒ

The man was interrupted twice, completely enraged, and he pulled Hana's watery hair, and dragged her out of the door, despite the girl's struggles.

Suiko shrunk in the closet, shivering, her tears silently dripping down her cheeks, staring at the scene outside, her fingers digging at her skin, and oozing blood from her own scratch.

She saw Hanori screaming loudly, as if in great pain, her body twitching; She heard Hana outside the door banging on the door over and over again, crying, "I can do it...... Don't touch my sister! ”

In the chaos, the endless darkness came, the girl's screams and cries of pain, desperately struggling to no avail, the man's vomiting gasps, the girl hiding in the closet's eyes widened with horror.

I don't know how long it took, but Hanari's gaze became confused, and she stopped screaming loudly, but lay on her back on the ground with an expressionless face, as if she had lost her life.

The next second, perhaps because of the excitement of the love xΓΉ and the difficulty of restraint made the gap in the wardrobe widen, Hua Li's eyes met the tassel behind the wardrobe, and at this moment, her pupils contracted, and then she spoke with difficulty, and said silently.

"Don't come out...... Be careful......"

Suiko's whole body trembled, her teeth kept colliding, and she collapsed to cover her mouth to prevent her cry from coming out. Her vision was blurred, and the disgusting sound kept coming to her ears, and she didn't know how long it would last. She bit her lip and bit out deep blood marks, and finally lowered her head from looking at the scene.

At this moment, it was as if all the voices had fallen silent, and only the rumbling sound of tinnitus engulfed her.

Until the man threw down the coin, opened the door and left without looking back, Hana cried into the room, came to Hanari's side, knelt down and hugged Hanari. Suiko jerked open the closet and threw herself in front of the two of them.

The girl who fell to the ground moved her stiff hand and grabbed Suizi's hand, and the hands of the two were cold.

The suffocating silence, the pain in the girl's body, and a wave of nausea that came out of her heart, she wanted to vomit, she wanted to vomit all the bile and internal organs, her eyes were confused, and she could only see black and white, just like the light of day.

However, they will never see the light of day.

"Sister, it hurts......" the girl said aggrievedly, "how long will it be better?" ”

At that moment, Suiko, who originally thought she couldn't cry, finally started crying loudly.
