Chapter Twenty-Six: Seth's Birthday

"Huh? Let's talk about it! Speak quickly! Seth said excitedly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Oh, yes, don't worry." Sister Mask touched Seth's head and said. "The four years of the ninja school passed quickly...... The two of them are still like that, every time Maki sees Tomohisa, he will taunt him......"

………… The story of the memories of the mask sister............

"You actually graduated from this crane tail?" Maki looked at Tomohisa and said.

"That's right, and we're a group, so we'll be companions from now on." Tomohisa said with a smile.

"Cut, who wants to be in a group with you at the end of the crane." Maki glanced at Tomohisa and said.

"It's a holiday in the afternoon, let's go together, Maki." Arashi picked up her schoolbag and looked at Maki and said.

"Hmm." Maki nodded and said. "Why are you so happy every time you have a holiday?"

"Shouldn't you be happy on vacation?" Arashi asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... All right. Maki said.

Maki and Arashi on their way home......

"Maki, why do you always mock Chiku." Arashi asked curiously.

"That guy...... How so? There was a smile on Maki's face. That guy...... Actually, he's very smart.,But,I'm not interested in ninjutsu.,Don't taunt him a few words.,Do you think he can successfully graduate? ā€

"Oh! That's the ...... That what? The irony of love, right? Haha......" Arashi said.

"Say what?" Maki said with a red face.

"Look, look, my face is red." Arashi said.

"I'm ...... This is...... The air is red, and when it blows on the face, it blows the face red. Well, that's it. Maki glanced at Lan and said.

"Yo? It's the first time I've heard of red air, well, yes. Red air. Lan nodded deliberately and said.

………… Real-world ............

"It was then that I learned that when Tomohisa sent flowers, Maki's opinion of Tomohisa had changed...... Shortly after that...... They fell in love. Arashi said, looking at Seth. But how to say it? Your dad really isn't fit to be a ninja. I think he's better suited to ...... How so? Let's invent some weapons or something......"

"Huh? Why? Setter asked curiously.

"Look at this knife." As she spoke, Sister Mask pulled out her ninja knife and showed it to Seth.

"It's an ordinary ninja knife." Seth said, looking at the knife.

"Do you really think so?" Sister Mask said, looking at Seth. "You bring one of your Flying Thunder God Kunai."

"What for?" Seth looked at the masked sister and said.

"Just take it, quick." Sister Mask said.

"Okay, here you go, but it's expensive, don't break it." As he spoke, Seth reluctantly took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai from his ninja bag and handed it to Sister Mask.

Sister Mask takes the kunai and puts it on a stone......

"What are you going to do?" Seth asked curiously.

Sister Mask looked at Seth, didn't speak, picked up the ninja knife and slashed at Kunai, only to see that the Flying Thunder God Kunai was easily cut in half......

"Hey! I said don't break it! Very expensive! This one is not enough for me to eat ramen for half a month! Seth looked at Kunai, who had been cut in half, and said sadly.

"Now, do you dare to say that it's an ordinary ninja knife?" Sister Mask pointed to the ninja knife and said.

"Uh...... But it's really powerful, and if I'm just fighting, then I'm in a dangerous situation......" Setter said thoughtfully. "Damn old man of the weapons shop...... Sold me a defective product......"

"Your kunai isn't a defective product, but this knife is too sharp...... "Sister Mask said, putting away the ninja knife and looking at Seth.

"This knife is so powerful, what kind of material is it made of?" Seth asked.

"The material from which this knife was made was invented by your father...... This knife is the only one in the world. Sister Mask said, looking at the sky.

"Huh? Did Dad give it to you? Setter asked curiously.

"It's not ......," Sister Mask said, looking down. It's your mom......"

"I see......" said Seth in dismay. Mom...... Mom...... Mom is so strong, why did she die? ā€

"......" Sister Mask said after a pause as she looked at Seth's lost look. When the Nine-Tails invaded Konoha...... Your mother deliberately didn't dodge the Nine-Tails' attack to protect a child......"

"I see......" Seth said, looking up at the sky. I'm so proud to have such a mother! ā€

"Seth, do you know why I'm telling you this today?" Sister Mask said, looking at Seth.

"Huh? Didn't my mother ask Sister Mask to tell me today? Setter asked curiously.

"Ah...... Yes, but today is also a special day! Sister Mask touched Seter's head and said.

"Huh? What day is it? Seth touched his chin and said after a moment of contemplation. Isn't it going to be a day for free tastings at ramen shops? Then I've got to go! ā€

"Oops, oops...... Not really. Sister Mask said. It's your birthday, Seth. It's my first birthday in thirteen years. ā€

"......" Seth's tears swirled in the sockets of his eyes, paused, and then slammed into Sister Mask's arms: "Sister Mask......"

"Okay, okay, it's all so big, don't cry." Sister Mask touched Seth's head and said softly.

"Hmmm! Don't cry, today should be a happy day. With that, Setter wiped away her tears and looked at Sister Mask.

"Ah...... I don't have anything to give you for your first birthday, so I'll give it to you. With that, Sister Mask untied the ninja knife from behind her back and handed it to Seth.

"Yes...... But ......," said Seter.

"Oops, oops...... I forgot, and I have this for you. As she spoke, Sister Mask took out a photo from her arms and handed it to Seth, only to see the black-haired woman and the black-haired man holding a baby in the photo.

"This ...... It's ......," said Seth, taking the picture.

"Family portrait." Sister Mask tilted her head and looked at Seth and said.

"......" Seth stared blankly at the photo.

"Okay, that's it, I'm leaving." As she spoke, Sister Mask stood up.

"Wait a minute!" Seth grabbed Sister Masked by the hand.

"Oh? Anything else? Sister Mask looked at Seth and asked curiously.

"This one for you......" Seth handed the ninja knife to Sister Mask.

"Huh? Isn't that what I just gave you? Besides, it's your mother's ......," said Sister Mask.

"Ah...... But I won't use a ninja sword, and besides...... This was supposed to be a mask sister from my mother, and you're also my mother's best friend...... said.

"......" Sister Mask paused, then hugged Seth and whispered in Seth's ear, "Thank you, Seth." ā€

Seth also whispered, "I just want to thank you...... Mask Sister ......"

The evening sun shone on the two of them. The figures of the two are reflected on the river...... What a beautiful and gentle picture......
