Obito stood aside, boredoming and kicking the small rocks on the ground, occasionally peeking at Rin.

Rin listened intently as Yu told her about what had happened at Kakashi's lunchtime.

-

When there were only a few students and parents left, a man dressed in some hip-hop costume but covered himself tightly walked over to Yu's side.

"Hey, is that the guy who came to pick you up?"

Obito didn't participate in Shinyu and Rin's chat about Kakashi, and quickly noticed that the person was coming this way.

He slapped Yu's arm with his elbow, facing in the direction of Lin and Yu, and pointed his thumb back.

"Uh, I don't know." Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the visitor.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of the cold, this person has put a lot of clothes on his body, the pants are also very long, the shoes are also heavy cotton shoes, and he also wears cotton neck covers and hats, and his hands are gloves that don't protrude his fingers like boxing gloves, and his face is ...... It's blocked, you can't see it, but there seems to be a thin cloth inside, so you can't even see your eyes.

“……”

[It's too suspicious to dress like this, isn't it?] ]

Yu tugged at Rin and Obito's sleeves and frowned.

If you are tall, visually inspect ...... More than two meters? It is almost a head taller than Shuo Mao, who is 1.81 meters taller.

And Yu is now less than a meter tall, barely 0.85 meters.

The feeling of oppression brought by the height gap greeted Yu, and Lin couldn't help but raise her hand to hold Yu's hand holding her sleeve, a little nervous.

Only Obito greeted the guy with a big grin as if he didn't feel anything.

"Are you here to pick up Yu back?" Obito looked at the man curiously.

“…… Be. The man nodded stiffly, holding out his gloved, rounded hand to Yu, "...... Go home. ”

"Well, if you don't mind, can we walk together for a while?" Lin tugged at the sleeve of the soil slightly, trying to pull out a smile and face the faceless man.

"They're my new friends today......! I'd like to talk to them a little longer......" Yu was very moved, and he also tugged on Obito's arm and said to the man.

“…… Good. The man nodded stiffly again, pulled Yu's wrists from the sleeves, pulled her to his side, and after taking a few unnatural steps forward, he turned his head and motioned for Obito and Rin to follow.

"I can't help it." Obito scratched his head and happily followed.

Lin peeked at the man as she walked behind Yu's diagonal back.

-

Yu didn't know the way back, so he didn't know where this person was taking him......

Although he said that he wanted to talk to Lin and them more, he didn't know what to talk about, so he and Lin started to talk about their favorite foods, and brought soil...... On the other side of them, they asked what the person ate to grow so tall.

“…… Meat, eat a lot of meat, and vegetables......"

This person took Yu's hand and tightened it a little, and ducked to Yu's side, as if he was very bad at dealing with people like Obito.

Yu always felt that he was about to die.

"I—we'll accompany you to your home......!" Lin herself was too scared, but she still grabbed Yu's other hand as if soothingly.

"Ahh Yu you are too cunning! I want it too! Obito quickly noticed the fact that Yuhe Lin was holding hands, and hurriedly ran over and grabbed Lin's hand, and then seemed to remember something and blushed a little, and stretched out his arm in disguise to pull up the man's empty hand, and led a few people into a circle.

The man's arms were pulled backwards, making it difficult to walk.

“……”

Yu felt that the strange man was exerting more force on his hands.

"How can you walk like this......! Let go, stupid. Yu had no choice but to let go of Lin's hand against his heart, and after taking a few steps, he pulled Obito's hand off the man's hand, "Okay, okay, let's stop here, don't go home too late, let's ...... Let's go...... Bye. ”

Yu Zhong patted Obito's shoulder with his unheld hand, smiled at Lin, and then resolutely turned around and walked away with the man.

"Hmm......" Lynn tugged at her clothes worriedly, but there was nothing she could do.

"See you next time at school!" Obito still didn't notice anything, and raised his arm and waved it vigorously at Yu.

"Shall we go back too?"

Obito let go of Rin's hand and twisted his head to the side, his face turning redder with hindsight, but it was also starting to darken, and Rin didn't notice.

“…… Hmm......" Lin still looked at the back of Yuhe's person with some concern, sighed slightly, and walked in another direction with Obito.

-

"That ......" Yu didn't dare to look up at the man.

"......" The man didn't say anything, just led her away.

"Hand ...... Can you loosen it up, it hurts a little......" Yu still didn't dare to look up, looking at the ground and said cautiously.

"......" The man still didn't answer, but he really let go of his hand, so that Yu didn't feel particularly painful to be held again.

Yu felt that this seemed to be a kind of kindness.

She quietly put her other hand over and took the man's glove together.

"We're going to ...... now Which? ”

Yu plucked up the courage to ask his own questions.

Anyway, this person doesn't walk like a normal human.

But she didn't dare to ask why.

Because I was afraid that the other party would not answer after asking, and at the same time I would find out that the other party was really not human......

"Home."

The man said simply and directly.

"Uh, is that a very special home?" When Yu heard this answer, he couldn't help but look up, and found that the person's face seemed to be turning in this direction.

I can't see my face, but I always feel like I'm being stared at.

"Yes, home...... Your new home. ”

When the man had answered the question, he turned his face back to the front and led her away.

There are no other buildings around that characteristic home, and it seems that no one else can accept the juxtaposition with such a strange building......

So after they had turned a few more corners, Yu soon saw the houses in the distance that were out of place and very abrupt from their surroundings.

She relieved herself a little.

[Luckily, it's really home here.] But ......]

Yu began to wonder what kind of existence this person was.

I thought it was the people I had seen before who came to pick me up, but ...... No.

-

"Here we are." The man said, letting go of Yu's hand and pushing her into the yard.

"Did school end so early!? Oh no, it's already this time-"

Yu saw that Yu, who had been lying for almost a day, ran out of the house in a hurry, putting on his coat as he ran.

"Do you know where the school is? Wait a minute, I'll show you the way-"

There was the sound of tables and chairs being arranged in the room.

"Are you awake?" Yu took a few steps forward, waving his hand to try to get Hiraku's attention to him.

[I don't know what the situation is, but I guess I heard about picking me up from school...... But there's already someone on the Japanese side——]

Yu thought, looking at the man behind him.

"Ah, you're back? Sorry, I've been talking about enrollment and check-in before, and I didn't notice the time...... Did you come back on your own? ”

Hiraku gradually calmed down when she saw Yu, and looked behind her line of sight.

Nothing.

"Alright, let's ——...... together Hey, you're back on your own? "Another man with a pile of papers came out of the house, the same teacher who had taken him to school in the morning.

“…… Well. Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck, and goosebumps began to develop little by little, from his shoulders to his limbs.

But this kind of thing is also ...... in the ninja world Barbarian...... Common ...... Bar......

"I was walking with my classmates, and their house wasn't in the direction of this side, but I saw this later—" Yu took a deep breath and pointed to the irregular appearance on the outside of the building, "because it's obvious, so I found my home easily......"

They may not believe the real situation, so they will not say it.

"Since you're back, there's no need to worry, you haven't eaten at night, have you? How about a meal together? I'm in for a treat. ”

The teacher sorted out the papers he was holding, stuffed them into a folder, and with a smile on his face, he took out the newly bought lollipops he bought in the morning from the pocket of his vest and handed them to Yu.

"No need, don't bother you, thank you very much for today's ......!" He hurriedly waved his hand and bowed to thank him.

The teacher stared thoughtfully for a few seconds, then took out a lollipop from his pocket, and shoved it into his hand while helping him up, "Also, today is the day when you and your brother officially move here, if you eat at home, there is a vegetable shop over there, nearby-"

The teacher is like an old aunt in the neighborhood committee, telling her what is around and what food is cheaper.

Hiraku listened very carefully.

“——…… That's pretty much it, you can walk around during the day, and there happens to be a bookstore nearby that is looking for jobs...... You can check it out. The teacher patted him on the shoulder very kindly, "Then I'll go and hand in these materials, and we can have dinner together!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard, rubbing her hair as he passed by.

Yu didn't bother with him for the sake of the food he bought for himself in the morning.

"Are you feeling better?" After Yume sent the teacher to disappear around the corner, he turned his head and asked.

It looks quite energetic, but it is a little thinner than when we first met.

"Hmm...... What about you? How did you feel after visiting the ninja school today? As he spoke, he locked the door of the building, led Yu out of the courtyard, and locked the courtyard door again, "Let's go buy some ingredients for dinner first, shall we?" Hokage-sama also gave us some subsidies, so we don't have to worry about life for the time being, and I'll go to the bookstore that the gentleman mentioned just now during the day tomorrow-"

While Hino and Yu were talking, they couldn't help but look curiously at the surrounding Konoha streets.

Before Yu could answer, Hiki continued to speak to himself.

- "The school said that you will be officially enrolled in the next Monday after this week has passed, and if you want to go to school during this period, you can go to the principal's office in the morning to find Hokage-sama, and say that it will arrange a spare teacher for you to teach you some basics, so that you can keep up as soon as possible after entering school." ”

- "Although the gentleman just said that I could also study, but I didn't really want to be a ninja, so I politely refused, I wanted to live in peace and stability more than a ninja, ah, it's not that I don't think it's good to be a ninja, but I don't think I'm suitable for that kind of identity-"

“……”

Yu quietly followed him forward.

"If you want to come on, I'll do it too, we're going to live together in Konoha and ...... Please advise me as well. ”

He looked at her with a smile.

It was a smile full of hope for the future.

“…… Well. ”

Yuya responded to him with a smile.
