Silver glow paved the way, and the night was quiet enough to hear the chirping of flying insects.

Ye Zi looked at the girl who made him irritable, and said coldly: "Something? ”

The two short words made the air seem to be a little chilly, and the sound of insects seemed to be lowered at this moment.

The young man's body exuded an aura of indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away, but Jiu Sinai did not flinch at all, her gaze moved away from the place where the bandages were tied, and instead looked at Ye Zi's indifferent eyes, her tone was as natural as more than a year ago, and she said with a smile: "What are you carrying in your hand, is it delicious?" ”

Ye Zi glanced at the lunch box in his hand, and then looked at Jiu Xinnai with a smile on his face in silence, and his mood became more and more irritable.

Looking at the silent Ye Zi, a trace of loss flashed in Jiu Xingnai's eyes, but it was soon filled with bright light, she seemed to be a chatter, and continued to ask: "The little flower on the cloth towel wrapped in the lunch box is very cute, it seems to be a girl, is she your new friend?" Is the food she cooks delicious? ”

Under the silver light, the girl kept nagging, by the moonlight, Ye Zi's eyes were still full of indifference, but she looked at Jiu Xingna carefully and seriously, as she grew older, her good-looking face seemed to be slowly overlapping with the most important person in her memory, maybe in two or three years, the appearance would be more similar.

"You know what? I'm a good cook now, and after being ridiculed by you, I put in the effort to learn. ”

Feeling Ye Zi's indifferent gaze that had not changed, Jiu Xinnai's cheerful tone slowly tended to be low, and a faint sadness appeared in her eyes, until today, she still didn't understand how Ye Zi could become so sudden and so indifferent.

She slowly closed her mouth, and after a long silence, she finally said what she wanted to ask the most: "Why are you hurt, does it hurt?" ”

The strap that almost covered the whole body showed that the injury was not light, how could it not hurt?

Ye Zi's indifferent eyes changed slightly, in his memory, at that time, he could fight for even a piece of moldy bread, and sometimes picking up stinky seafood was like a treasure, but it was accompanied by a more fierce fight, every time he returned to the humble residence with a body injury, someone would look at his wound with a look of regret, and then always say such a sentence to himself.

Imperceptible sentimentality passed through his dark pupils, he stared at Jiu Sinai silently, and after a while, he lifted the lunch box a little and said coldly, "Is there anything else?" ”

Jiu Sinai was stunned, then slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's okay." ”

Ye Zi looked at Jiu Xingnai who lowered his head, but his cold eyes became extremely soft like an iceberg melting at this moment, and his eyes were terrifyingly gentle, as if the person in front of him was an extremely precious relative, but soon, that gentle look returned to coldness.

Shuimen, who was hiding in the dark, caught Ye Zi's gentleness in a flash, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he watched Ye Zi disappear into view thoughtfully.

On the silent street, Kushina looked at the ground covered with silver light, her expression was sad, and after a while, she raised her head, still with that strong expression, she looked at the road ahead, and took the first and second steps vigorously.

Watergate walked on the roof, looking sideways at the moonlit maiden, walking with her.

They walked on the same road, in the same direction, and in the other direction, on the other road, there was the boy who seemed to have a touch of tenderness in the cold shell.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Every day after that, Ye Zi could always receive the blood-replenishing food cooked by the medical ninja, and he silently thanked the girl, thanks to these food-tonic dishes, his body recovered faster than usual. Occasionally, they meet inadvertently, but they seem to have an indescribable tacit understanding with each other, and they always don't look at each other more, and they don't even have a nodding relationship.

Ye Zi didn't want to have too much to do with this world, he could wake up and thank her when he was treated, because it was her job, so he wouldn't thank her because the other party prepared these foods for himself that could make his body heal faster, although saying thank you was so simple.

He had his reasons, but what about the girl?

He sometimes wondered why the girl did this, but each time he quickly suppressed the doubt, turned his head and plunged directly into the sea of books.

Two weeks later, after recovering from his injuries, Ye Zi was soon sent on another mission, which was to assassinate the spy hiding in Konoha.

After stealing confidential information about the identity of the spy from the rock ninja last time, Gen immediately carried out a secret purge of Konoha , however, the really good spies will not leave identity information in the ninja village, they have excellent camouflage methods and the terrible ability to steal information, no one knows who their information is handed over, and no one knows what the way they convey information.

These brilliant Iwa ninja spies are hidden in Konoha and there is no connection between spies and spies, each spy has a specific contact person, and the only person who knows the identity of all spies is the main person in charge of the intelligence agency.

Spies are a nuisance.

Although the information stolen by Ye Zi was cleaned of the spy, the most critical point was not extracted.

However, Konoha is not a vegetarian either, they have found three suspects in just two weeks, and Ye Zi's task is to observe and confirm the true identities of these three suspects, and then... Kill!

Among the three suspects, there is an old man named Kimura Takuyang who is known to Ye Zi, this old man lives alone, from the intelligence information, the old man is an ordinary resident of Konoha with very old qualifications, and he is the first batch of residents since the establishment of Konoha Village, except that he has never married a wife, there is nothing strange about his life experience, and it is difficult to imagine that an old man with such seniority will be one of the suspects.

"Takuhiro Kimura."

Ye Zi looked at the information quietly, thinking that the first task after graduating from the ninja school was to help this old man who lived alone remove weeds? I still vaguely remember the old man's old face and the kind smile that appeared from time to time, such a person would be one of the suspects.

The cold gaze fell on the person in the photo, the crumpled skin was like the bark of a dying tree, and the speckled old age spots highlighted the death of the twilight, but there was still clarity in the eyes that were not yet cloudy.

At dusk, Ye Zi was dressed in casual clothes and walked towards Takuyang Kimura's house with the yokan he bought from the house.

Takuhiro Kimura lives in the suburbs, and his home is surrounded by fields, and he has a large field that he uses to grow vegetables.

When the sun sets, it is at the end of the field path, and Ye Zi can see the wooden houses illuminated by the orange light from afar, and Kimura Takuyang sitting on the wooden corridor with hot tea in his hand.

Ye Zi walked naturally towards the wooden house, stopped in front of the fence gate, and shouted to Kimura Takuyang: "Grandpa Kimura, I came to see you." ”

"Oh?"

Kimura Takuyang squinted his left eye, but his right eye was raised, as if he was struggling to open it, looking at the young man in front of the fence gate, from the open right eye showed confusion, trying to think about who the young man was, and then, he looked at the yokan next to the teapot, and then suddenly said, "It's you, come in, ho ho." ”

Ye Zi smiled slightly, pushed open the fence gate and walked in.

Kimura Takuyang gently patted his side and motioned for Ye Zi to sit down, the latter sat down honestly, and was about to hand the bought yokan to the old man when he suddenly saw the yokan in the saucer next to the teapot, and couldn't help but be stunned, the faint fragrance wafting to his nose indicated that this was the yokan in the lower house.

Kimura Takuyang looked at the packaging box handed over by Ye Zi, and after smiling, he said: "This afternoon, the girl who was with you before also came to visit me with yokan, you really have a heart, and remember that the old man likes to eat yokan from the house." ”

Hearing that Jiu Sinai was coming this afternoon, Ye Zi's expression did not change, he smiled slightly, handed the yokan to Kimura Takuyang, and said, "Are you okay?" ”

"If you have a handful of old bones, what can be bad, you won't be able to live for a few years, but when you always see you full of vitality, you always feel that you can live for a few more years." The old man squinted his eyes as he looked at the sunset, which was about to set its last rays, and let out a long sigh.

Ye Zi smiled: "You should be old and strong, and you will definitely be able to live for a few more decades." ”

The old man's eyes were slightly bent, and he said, "The sun is going down, if you are not in a hurry, stay and have dinner." ”

Ye Zi's eyes changed slightly, and he happily agreed.
