Although chatting is pleasant, the next time Kushina invites Asami to go shopping or attend a party of her peers, she is unexpectedly refused.

For the lively and outgoing Kushina, this is probably a little incomprehensible. It's clear that people with the same personality have a common topic, but it's surprisingly not so easy to get along.

And for Asami, she's just having a headache with human social issues. Admittedly, she likes to tell messy stories, but the thought of the human connections she needs to make friends with Kushina makes her feel troublesome.

If they become very good friends, then when "Asami" dies, Kushina should be very sad, which is very unpleasant. If they don't make good friends - then why get closer?

Instead of attending frolicking parties with women of the same age, Asami lives alone in the ninja school that is empty after the start of the holidays. Next to her are two employees who live on campus in the same way. One is responsible for repairing electrical circuits and the other is responsible for psychological counseling. The days went by, and the bitter cold of winter became deeper and deeper.

The air was dry, and the nearby trees were bare. Although the weather will be fine, the distant sunlight will not dispel the pervasive chill. Before the arrival of the new year, the first snow of this winter fell slowly. Tiny droplets of snow drifted slowly in the air, turning the sky gray. Although the snow is not heavy, it is expected that it will be covered with snow after midnight.

The thick ninja vest is finally in season. It's just that the lighting of the bungalow is not good, and the clothes that are dried out can not be dried in time. Asami is afraid that it will not be long before she has no clothes to wear.

After half an afternoon of snow, there was a knock on her door, a guest who was a little confused by Asami.

A black-haired woman in her twenties, gentle and beautiful, dressed at home, carrying a wide-mouthed backpack, and some fluffy snow falling on her black hair, is Mr. Fuyue's wife, Mai Trito.

"Mai Trin...... Madam? Miss......? Asami was a little hesitant what to call the young mother.

"Just call me Mai Trinat." Mai Trito nodded and put her hand behind her back. Itachi Uchiha poked her head out from behind her, tilted her head, and smiled at Asami.

"What's the matter?" Asami asked.

“…… I just came back from the hospital, and I thought that Ms. Asami lived alone in the school, so I came over to disturb it. Thank you for taking care of Itachi this semester. Mikoto put her hand on top of Itachi's head and said, "This kid is going to come and see the teacher anyway." ”

"Ahaha, that'......" Asami struggled to figure out what to answer, "Hey." Hospital? Miss Mai Trin, need a good rest. While young mothers can be busy, it's also important to take care of your body. ”

Seeing that Asami was about to make a tirade about how to take care of her body, Mikoto quickly interrupted Asami's words with a smile. She put her hand on her abdomen, lowered her head with a gentle smile on her face, and stroked her abdomen up and down as she said, "It's not like that...... Well, it's just that there's a second child coming soon. ”

The second child......

Itachi once said, "If I had a younger brother or sister", and it came true.

"That's really congratulations." Asami said, "I wonder if it's going to be a boy or a girl?" Presumably, Mr. Fugaku and Itachi are very happy. ”

Mai Trin raised her head and said, "Itachi said it would be a younger brother." I'll just think of it as a boy for now. By the way, I heard Kushina say that Ms. Asami is not married yet. I'm still looking forward to seeing Ms. Asami's children. ”

Such a question made Asami a little overwhelmed. She wrapped her fingers around the red hair that hung down her shoulders and could only say, "Probably...... Later. Well. Actually, I don't want to get married, I like to live alone. ”

"That's right." Mai Trin nodded in understanding. She took Itachi's hand and sent it forward, saying, "Itachi, say hello to the teacher." You're going to visit your teacher on a snowy day. ”

Uchiha Itachi raised his head, glanced at Asami, and quickly lowered his head again: "...... I just thought that the teacher lived here alone, so I thought it would be very lonely, so I wanted to take a look. ”

Seeing the snow falling in the sky, many snow droplets fell on Maikoto's arms. Asami turned her head to look at her messy room, hesitating to invite them into the room to admire the messy bedding and wet clothes that hadn't been dried. The empathetic Mai Trin noticed her crampedness, so she grabbed Itachi's little hand again and said, "The snow is too big, so we won't bother it much." ”

Although I don't like to socialize, I seem to have accidentally become friends with Kushina and Mikoto.

Asami was a little distressed.

However, in the winter that followed, she never saw the two young women again. Whether it is snowfall, snow harvest, sunny weather and cloudy weather, she lives alone. The ninja school was quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the past and the noise of the children, and this silence made Asami a little unaccustomed.

Occasionally, she would wander into the open space in front of the school building, where she used to sit on the swing and watch the group of children compare to each other to see who could throw the shuriken farther, or stand under the big tree to instruct the group of children in physical arts. How to raise your leg beautifully, how to simply elbow an enemy to the weak point, or how to use a standard stance to punish a stand.

As soon as the New Year passes, Konoha is a year older. This village, which has a history of nearly 50 years, has risen and prospered at an unimaginable speed. Such a rapid process is probably due to the importance of the world's special military system - "ninja", which goes without saying.

The bitter cold of winter has not faded, and even though spring has arrived, the cold still envelops this village surrounded by forests. While the villagers were still wearing long sleeves, the ninja school opened. The campus, which has been silent for a long time, once again ushered in the noisy footsteps and overlapping figures of the children.

"How's the New Year going? Asami. What the? A ...... living alone It's a little lonely, right? ”

"Asami, are you really not thinking about going on a blind date? In this way, you don't have to repair the broken fluorescent lamp yourself, how convenient it is. ”

"Seems to be comfortable being alone, Asami."

The greetings and conversations of colleagues also returned to my ears. Asami was busy collecting the list of students for the new semester and casually coping with the greetings of her colleagues.

Of course, in addition to the greetings of colleagues, there are troublesome children.

The two naughtiest boys in the class couldn't wait for the physical arts class to start running around in the hallway. Probably a holiday, they played even crazier, like a whirlwind straight in front of Asami, and simply slammed a dozen Wen Jiàn in her hand to the ground, and Asami's glasses also fell directly to the ground with a click.

The white flowers scattered all over the place made the two poor boys stop running in an instant and stiffen in place.

"Oh no, it's Aunt Glasses...... It's over......"

Asami rubbed her eyes, the bridge of her nose that had been holding her glasses for a long time had lost something, but she was a little unaccustomed to it. She fumbled with the pages on the ground and said, "I know I made a mistake, why don't you save it?" ”

The two boys who had made a mistake hurriedly knelt on the ground and began to clean up the broken up. Just as Asami was groping for the scattered bun jiàn, a person picked up a stack of bun jiàn and handed it to her, holding her palm very smoothly by the way.

"I am more than happy to help the beautiful and lovely young lady, and it is my luck to be able to serve you."

It sounds like a less serious, slightly pompous adult male. Asami pulled her hand back straight, raised her eyes slightly, and stared at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her—a tall white-haired man with long, slightly fried hair, clogs on his feet, and a scroll on his back, obviously also a ninja. It's just that his slightly immodest eyes make him look not so majestic.

"Thank you." Asami thanked her, a little strange why such a person appeared on campus, so she asked, "Are you also a newly transferred teacher this year?" ”

"Ah, it would be nice to work with a beautiful lady like you. Unfortunately, I'm not, I'm just here to take a look at the start of school on behalf of my students. The white-haired man replied, his words full of pity.

"Bh. Who are your students? ”

"Bo Feng Shuimen." The white-haired man looked a little proud.

"Ah, then this is Jiraiya-sama." Asami said, crouching down to pick up her glasses. The lens was cracked and looked like it needed some repairs. The two children who had done something wrong were still waiting tremblingly, and Asami stood aside without paying attention to Jirai, and said bluntly and ruthlessly, "Punish the blackboard." ”

"Huh?" Jiraiya raised a finger, pointed to his surprised face, and said, "I, me?" Am I going to wipe the chalkboard? Beautiful young lady. ”

"You can belch if you like." Asami stuffed her broken glasses into her ninja bag and walked towards her classroom: "I still have to go to class, so I'll leave first." ”

"I can really wipe the blackboard—" Jiraiya nodded earnestly, and followed behind Asami. As he walked, he pulled out a pamphlet, wrote something on the paper with a pen, and whispered something in his mouth.

"The seventy-second episode, the beautiful teacher I met on campus. When you put on your glasses, you are strict and gentle, and when you take off your glasses, you are like a fiery pepper, and you are punished for erasing the blackboard, which is a sweet and terrible punishment. ”
