51. Chapter 45
After the affairs of the Hyuga clan are arranged, the capture of the tailed beast that has been talked about will also be put on the agenda.
Kazuma decided to start with the first one, and the date set was seven days later, and the handover of official duties is currently underway.
The Thousand Hands clan is the one who is in the hands of the Chief, the Uchiha is taken over by Izumi, and the matter of Konoha is shared equally between Ajiang and the first two.
In this regard, no one has an opinion,
Since they weren't sure how many they were going to catch this time before they came back, Konoha also gave the two of them the aftermath and notified the corresponding distribution country after capturing the tailed beasts, so it is conceivable that the workload will be much larger.
Based on this, it is understandable to do some final relaxation before such a sad day in anticipation of the heavy duties in the future and the tragic situation of not being able to leave Konoha after the two of them are gone (after all, someone needs to be in charge).
At least, after receiving Hinata's letter of inquiry, Nohara Jiang, who originally only needed to reply to a letter and didn't need to make a special trip at all, left Konoha Village again under the melancholy or annoyed eyes of several friends.
Guard: Lady Kasama's face is terrifying
Captains of the dark department: Minister, how can you break the QAQ in the dark department when you leave?
Yun An did not have the mark of the Flying Thunder God on his body, but the agreed location was not far away, and with the strength of Yeyuan Jiang, it would take less than half a day to arrive.
When I saw him again, the young man still looked dashing, but his eyebrows and eyes were a little less sharp, and a little more calm and gentle.
He is still dressed in white, but it is not the previous strong suit, but a men's kimono, the size fits, the workmanship is fine, adding a bit of calm and extravagance.
Because of his clothing, his knife was no longer tied around his waist but in his hand, which seemed inconvenient - not like something he would do.
Nohara Jiang's doubts were clearly revealed, and Yun An had no intention of concealing it.
The fair-skinned white-eyed young man seemed to have thought of something, revealing a rather gentle expression - Nohara Jiang inexplicably saw a bit of showing off from it: "This is what Yuriko made for me." ”
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, this time he was really showing off: "She did it herself." ”
Nohara E: ..................
How to break? I want to kill him!
"You like her a lot?" Nohara felt that he had said a word of nonsense.
Yun An nodded: "That's right." ”
"She's not a ninja, is she?" Nohara remembered the statement in the letter: "She opened a dessert shop? ”
The white-eyed young man said seriously: "Yes, also, she is my wife." ”
Nohara Jiang didn't know what to say, although he didn't see the girl who was "wise and cunning, but gentle and generous" (Hinata Yun'an), but looking at his appearance, he knew that this product was thrown into the girl's bowl and didn't want to come out.
How can you still have the ruthlessness to fight with him at the beginning?
But...... Doesn't it look bad?
The life of a wandering ninja is actually not easy, especially since Yun An is still a defector from the Hyuga clan, although it is generally unlucky for those who provoke him due to his strength, but with a wife - especially if she is pregnant, he must start to be careful of those enemies.
The consequence of making a lot of enemies is that he came to the appointment alone after placing Yuriko. The black-haired young man was a little sorry for not seeing his friend's wife, but he also understood the seriousness, so he just smiled and said, "Remember to call me when the child is born." ”
The white-eyed youth's expression softened: "Of course." ”
The two bought some wine, went to a secluded place in the wilderness, set up some barriers, and began to drink and chat.
They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and they weren't bored talking to each other about the situation.
After chatting, the wine came up, and the two of them became interested and began to compete.
There was no surprise that Nohara Jiang won the next game, and Yun An was not unwilling, but just laughed a little drunk. Because of the fight, both of them were sweating, and at this time they were lying on the grass together, looking at the clouds in the sky, and they only felt extremely comfortable.
"The Hyuga clan has joined Konoha." Nohara Jiang took the initiative to mention the things that the white-eyed youth cared about.
"I know." The young man's tone was a little indifferent.
"And what are you asking me to come over for?"
"Did I ask you to come? Just reply to me with a letter. Yun An said that he didn't carry this pot: "Obviously, you came up with it yourself." ”
"It's you." Nohara did not back down.
"Forget it." Yun An ended this meaningless raise, and turned serious: "What do you think about Hinata. ”
When Nohara Jiang borrowed his cells for research, Yun An once said that he left Hyuga because he disagreed with Hinata's "caged bird", but this does not mean that he does not love it.
The white-eyed young man had mixed feelings about Hinata, he cared about it, the family he had grown up in for sixteen years, but he couldn't face it.
In fact, Yun An often feels that the focus of his 'defection' should be on 'escape', not 'betrayal'.
He couldn't face it, and he didn't know how to change it, so he fled.
"Of course Konoha welcomes the Hyuga clan." Nohara's words were simply understood, and he almost promised: "You don't have to worry. ”
"A Thousand Hands is a big-hearted man." Yun An's expression was faint: "It's just that I still want to hear you say something." ”
"After all, I can't rest assured."
"So now that I've said it, can you rest assured?"
The white-eyed youth didn't answer, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Seriously, why are you ......?" Nohara Jiang didn't continue to ask, the white-eyed young man should have understood what he wanted to ask, as for whether he wanted to answer or not, it was Yun An's choice.
Anyway, whether he answers or not, Hinata Yunan is his friend.
"Why leave? Or why not go back? The white-eyed young man continued: "Okay, these two questions are essentially the same. ”
"Jiang Jun, you know the 'caged bird', right?" He asked, and without waiting for Nohara Jiang to answer, he continued: "You must know, after all, the Hyuga clan has already joined Konoha, and your status in Konoha is so high." ”
The 'caged bird' is a curse mark that has been engraved on the heads of the Hyuga family for generations.
In order to protect the blood inheritance, the Hyuga clan is divided into clans and families. The clan has inherited the white eyes for generations, and in order to protect the white eyes from being lost, the clan must sacrifice their lives to maintain the clan, because of this, the people of the Hyuga clan must be put on a curse mark from a young age, that is, a 'caged bird'.
"I'm actually from the Hyuga family, and I'm the eldest son."
Nohara Jiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, he had always thought that Yun An was a person who had split up - after all, he was dissatisfied with the 'caged bird'.
"After the heir of the clan inherits the position of head of the family, the rest of the brothers and sisters become divided members of the family, and must have a spell mark engraved on their foreheads. The heir is generally selected from the children of the head of the family based on strength, and the strength and talent are similar, and the eldest son inherits. Yun An's tone was a little sarcastic: "Whether it is selected by strength or by order, I will be the next head of the family." ”
"But my brother will be engraved with a curse."
"I've seen the Dividers with the spell mark on them." He said a declarative sentence, but it was clear that his emotions fluctuated greatly: "How can I, how can I make my brother like that!" ”
"Since I was a child, my mother has told me, 'Yun'an, your brother is still young, you are an elder brother, you must protect him well', although my father did not say so, but he also agreed."
"Every now and then, there will be wars in the clan. When my parents didn't have time for us to practice, I used to teach him to go back to heaven, to point to acupoints, to teach everything, and I watched him grow up little by little, and after my other younger brothers died, I thought, I must protect him well. ”
"But why, in the end, it was me who hurt him?"
Nohara couldn't answer, and silence seemed to sweep over the two.
Finally, Yun An spoke: "Yuriko is pregnant, but they don't know, I hope they don't know." ”
"Seriously, Jiang Jun, I hope my children don't inherit my white eyes, Yuriko's black eyes are very good."
Nohara Jiang was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke: "If your child doesn't inherit the white eye, how about letting him be my apprentice?" ”
"Okay." The white-eyed youth replied crisply.
In the next second, he propped himself up with one hand and looked directly into Nohara's eyes: "My matter is over, how about yours?" ”
Nohara Jiang twitched the corners of his mouth, and he decided to struggle first: "What? ”
"Don't digress the subject, what's wrong with you?"
Nohara was silent again, and for a long time, he sighed.
……………………………………
That
After dropping the mine with a calm face in the hands of a thousand hands, Nohara Jiang was unsurprisingly confused by the news.
He was completely shocked and looked at the white-haired youth with some dumbfounded eyes.
When? Who? Is it necessary to get rid of the single between the doors? It's Love Day lately? Why is it so spicy, so many people have objects?
A barrage of questions crossed his mind, and he felt as if he saw Kaguya beckoning to him.
Seeing the meaning in the eyes of the black-haired young man, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "I am unrequited love." ”
Nohara E: ..................
Another mine, he is completely wooden.
It was a long time before Nohara's brain began to spin again.
It's no wonder that the expression on the front door just now was so strange, it turned out that it was because I was in a relationship, so I felt ominous to hear my negative opinion?
Maybe he turned out to ask me about the experience of chasing his sweetheart (wrong!) I didn't expect to be forced to listen to a lot of 'love is a chore' argument, I'm really sorry for him......
Nohara Jiang struggled to make his voice sound calm: "Which girl?" ”
"Nope." The expression on the front door was still so calm, but Nohara Jiang inexplicably saw a taste of broken cans: "He is a man." ”
After passing through two mines, the fact that would have surprised him could no longer shock him at this time, and Nohara Jiang let out a dumbfounded 'oh', but could not say anything to refute it.
During the Warring States period, ninjas were a high-risk profession, and they valued their companions, and most of the ninjas who became ninjas were men - although it was rare for some deterioration between companions to occur in this kind of precarious time, there were some examples.
What's more, it seems that the pillars also play a 'bad head' role.
Nohara Jiang thinks that this kind of ...... for his friends Change, he can accept it, really can (please ignore his somewhat distorted look).
"It's okay......" The brunette youth didn't know if he was comforting his friend or himself: "So, why don't you say it?" ”
The gaze was a little dull: "He didn't mean that to me." ”
The white-haired young man lowered his eyes, and it was rare that his expression was a little low: "He won't accept it." ”
Nohara Jiang looked at his gloomy expression, and felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't want his friend to be trapped by love at all, showing this almost lost look.
"Then put it down." It is better to let go than to be in pain afterward, and long pain is better than short pain - this is what Nohara has witnessed several times
