Exceptionally good people will always attract the sideways eyes of others. People who are different will also be excluded because of their specialness. This is a characteristic that human beings are born with, and it is most obvious in the body of innocent children. As we age, these shortcomings are overshadowed by reason and self-cultivation, and then disappear. Sometimes, however, zài persists.

Humans, that's it.

Asami flipped the list in her hand and urged, "I've seen it all, stand up for yourself." ”

Finally, the two short little boys pouted their heads, slowly rubbed out of the crowd left and right, and stood in front of Asami with a stubborn face. By the time Asami finished the roll call, the clock hanging on the wall finally reached the hour, and the bell for the end of class echoed through the ninja school.

"The others, disband."

Asami waved her hand, and the group of children who were staring at her curiously dispersed, each running towards the classroom. After the children dispersed in the clearing, only the two little ones who had made the mistake were left, ready to meet the teacher's unique punishment.

"Hey, how can you bully your classmates? Let me tell you a story. A long time ago, on the Honghuang Luyu, everything has a spirit. Among the creatures who can 'speak' and 'move', there is a god who lives in the palace, and her people respect each other and never play tricks. Although I don't understand what 'feelings' are, I don't taunt and tease others. Regardless of fate and visions, they have always lived together......"

The two boys, one tall and one short, stared suspiciously at the teacher who was gushing in front of them, and at the end, one of them quietly attached to the other's ear and whispered, "This aunt with glasses is so annoying." She said more than the Headmaster and Hokage combined. ”

The rambling storytelling came to an abrupt end, and Asami pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "It's okay, you guys can stand here." ”

Although it was the first time to serve as a teacher for the children, he was not merciless in punishing the children.

It's a great feeling to be in charge of life and death, but it's even better to be able to make two children look sad.

Asami turned around satisfied, intending to go back to the office to pick up her bunjiàn. When she turned her head sideways, she found that the bullied Uchiha Itachi-san, who had not left, was still standing aside. Short and white, he waited quietly under the great sun.

At this moment, the two unlucky children who threw stones were staring at each other with Uchiha Itachi in the air. To be precise, it was the two mischievous children who glared at Itachi unilaterally, and Itachi didn't care about their attention in the slightest.

Asami walked up to the short little kid, half-squatted down, and asked, "What's wrong?" Don't go to class yet? ”

Itachi Uchiha doesn't look like the type who likes to make small reports.

“…… It's okay. Itachi raised his head and looked at his teacher with black eyes: "Even the content of the class is very simple. I learned the Fire Escape Ninja Method when I was very young. ”

These words made Asami smile gently. She said, "Running away on the first day of class, isn't it?" …… And you're just a kid now, Itachi. ”

“…… No. Itachi blinked his eyes and asked, "What Asami-sensei said, is there really a world where there is no 'ridicule' and only 'mutual respect'?" There are no suspicions or suspicions, and everyone can live together peacefully......"

There was a bit of longing on his immature face.

Asami was stunned by his words, and it took a while for her smile to put her smile back on her face. She rubbed the top of Itachi's head and said, "Of course - there will be no zài." The reason why they live together as equals and with respect for each other is because this group of people has absolutely no idea what 'feelings' are. Therefore, there is no love and hate, greed and hatred, and there is no need to worry about profit. Yet human beings ...... It's emotional. ”

"So, there's going to be suspicion, right?" Uchiha Itachi whispered under her men, "...... Thank you, teacher. ”

"Don't think too much about it, kids." Asami finally patted the top of his soft hair and said, "Let's go to class." ”

The little weasel took a step, turned to look at her, and then ran in the direction of the classroom, the scorching summer light casting his dwarf shadow as he ran to the ground. The two boys who stood on the penalty stand said with disdain: "...... Itachi likes to talk to his teacher. It's annoying. Is he crying that we are bullying him? ”

Hearing the two children's unintentional words, Asami wanted to laugh even more.

While other children are angry about some ordinary and cute little things, Uchiha Itachi is already thinking about such complex issues as human emotions. The long sermon that children hate can even arouse his interest. What kind of family can raise such a child?

Thinking of what Takahashiji said about "the Uchiha clan has always been at odds with the center of the village", and then thinking about his actions to follow his father to the front line when he was a child, Asami barely found the reason for Itachi's way of thinking.

I was a little looking forward to the growth of this child.

This is an idea that has never come up before.

After all, she has seen countless lives, the birth and death of countless nations, and even the prosperity and overthrow of a land. In the long river of constant progress and changes in history, things as small as ants have never been worth stopping for their hurried pace.

Summer is coming to an end, but the scorching heat is still unabated. The temperature during the day is still drowsy, and even the most active children have no energy to do anything. After a long and hot day, the children will not regain their vitality until the end of the afternoon near the end of the evening.

A pouring rain fell on such a late summer day. The rain came very suddenly, and in an instant, the whole village was wrapped in a curtain of rain. The rain poured down and pounded on the eaves everywhere, and soon filled in the low-lying areas into a small pond. Pedestrians are running to escape the rain, and the streets are full of hurried figures.

The sudden rain also trapped several children who did not bring umbrellas inside the ninja school. These children, who had been majestically throwing kunai during the day and vowing to become the Hokage of the Five Generations, suddenly lost the courage they once had, cowering under the eaves and rubbing their steps, sometimes on their toes, waiting for their parents to appear at the end of the street across the street from the school.

Asami held three folding umbrellas scavenged from her colleagues in one hand and handed them to the children who were trapped under the eaves one by one.

"Hey, this is Matsumoto-sensei's umbrella, remember to bring it back. Next time, don't forget to bring an umbrella. ”

After sending away the children who were trapped in the rain, Asami ushered in her own troubles.

A neatly dressed young ninja with a long-handled umbrella waited patiently at the entrance of the campus, keeping a few steps away from her. He looked like he was twenty-three or fourteen years old, and he smiled gently, and although he wasn't wearing a ninja outfit, he was also neat and tidy.

Asami stood under the eaves and greeted him: "...... Temple, is there anything going on? ”

"Yes." Takahashiji stood in the rain, not minding that the rain wet his trouser legs. "Tomorrow is a day off," he said, "so I'd like to invite you to have a drink with you." It's not just a party of two people, former teammates are there. Junko and Sota are also there, and they miss you very much. ”

For the invitation of Takahashi Temple, Asami has always had only one reaction.

"No, you see that the weather today is not suitable for ......belching," Asami said.

"In the past, the weather was even more unsuitable during our wars." Takahashiji said gently, "It's just rain." Can I carry ...... No, I didn't say anything. ”

"I'm not dressed for going out today......" Asami spread out her hand holding a folding umbrella and showed her outfit to Takahashiji. She wears a plain white short-sleeved shirt with a sign for the ninja school's anniversary celebration on it, and to be honest, she looks like a temporary worker in charge of painting the walls of the ninja school.

"I can wait for you to finish changing." Takahashiji said patiently, "I hope you can see when you don't wear glasses." Always covering herself with glasses, Asami is too unconfident. ”

The gentle smile on Asami's face couldn't be sustained anymore.

There was a series of familiar and small footsteps in her ears, and without saying a word, Asami turned around and put her arm on the child's shoulder, smiled softly at Takahashiji, and said, "This child didn't bring an umbrella, I'm going to send him home." Do you feel comfortable that a four-year-old child will come home alone in the heavy rain? A temple. ”

The black-haired boy who was held by her hands raised an ignorant and harmless face, he looked at Asami with his beautiful black eyes, and then at the young man who was waiting in the rain, and said in a childish voice: "...... Asami-sensei, I didn't bring an umbrella, can you send me home? ”

After saying that, he also tugged at the crossbody bag he was carrying with great anxiety, looking cramped and cautious, like a poor ordinary child trapped by heavy rain. Such acting skills made Asami admire in her heart.

Uchiha Itachi will definitely make a big difference in the future.

"Asami, wait a minute...... Takahashi Temple stopped talking, and wanted to continue his invitation.

Asami, who was wearing sloppy short sleeves, had already shaken off the folding umbrella in her hand, patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder, and said, "Teacher will send you home - don't be afraid." ”

Itachi Uchiha cooperated and tugged at the corner of her coat, looking like he wouldn't let go anyway. Faced with such a helpless child, Takahashiji shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay...... You're really fit to be a teacher, Asami. ”
