Chapter 51: Back to the Village
I don't know how many times I watched the rain in surprise out of boredom, and I thought to myself, this rain won't stop tonight! Then when he realized that he had fallen asleep, it was already the early hours of the next morning.
The accustomed biological clock makes the winter night wake up at five o'clock in the morning, and it should usually wake up a little earlier, and the slightly extended time is really mental fatigue? Winter Nights try to solve the problem of waking up late with reliable reasons.
There was no sign of anyone else waking up around, and as for Orochimaru, Winter Night couldn't tell what kind of situation the other party was in, so he ignored it.
An early morning workout was essential, and the winter night, aware of this, hastily ended his accountability and walked towards the outside of the cave.
The rain did not stop, but after a night of consumption, the heavy rain poured into a drizzle in a real sense, and the thin raindrops hit the face, and there was no real feeling, perhaps only the breeze carrying the raindrops on the face, would produce a subtle feeling of wetness.
The pace stepped out of the cave, the steady pace tore apart the silence of the early morning with crisp footsteps, the running body felt the long-lost ease, and felt that the weight on the body had reached the critical point again, as if it needed to increase a little, thinking a lot, but the pace of progress never stopped.
When Winter Night, judging by his own judgment, thought that he had spent two hours, he went back to the cave, with the hunted fowl in his hand, and the blood was falling to the ground.
"You're back? Where did it go? Such inquiries and greetings did not take place between this small group, and everyone just looked indifferently at the winter night as they walked into the cave.
Mitarai was wiping the recovered ninja equipment, and he didn't finish it immediately, so he could only spend more time and energy to remove the blood residue on it overnight.
Hinata Xue curled up her body quietly, her snow-white pupils staring coldly at the rekindled fire, and a white mist evaporated from the wood that remained of water vapor, spitting on her face to make the white and tender face slippery.
Orochimaru opened his eyes at this moment, his eyes scanned between the caves, from the Mitariya, to the Hinata snow to the winter night when he had just walked into the cave, quietly examining, what kind of me did the snake eyes see, the winter night would unconsciously think like this.
After the birds left their own portions, the others were thrown by Hyuga Yuki's side by Winter Night, not caring whether the other party accepted his kindness or not, Winter Night had already quickly processed the fur, and then put the bare "corpse" on the flame to bake.
Time passed quietly, and when the delicate aroma of the meat spread, Mitarai was also finishing the ninja and was working on his breakfast.
Hinata Yuki and Orochimaru didn't do the same, they were probably both immersed in their own worlds.
There were two servings of baked breakfast in total, not all of which were reserved for themselves, leaving a piece of meat flowing with oil to continue cooking on the flame, and the winter night picked up the extra portion of food and walked towards Orochimaru.
Contact in the real sense, this is the first time since Orochimaru became the guide of the three-person group, including Hinata Yuki and Mitarai together, walked in front of Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-sensei." shouted at each other in a low voice, using the title of "teacher".
The open snake eyes intertwined with Winter Night's face for a moment, and then, he took the food handed out by Winter Night.
"Thank you." When the two words popped out of Orochimaru's mouth, whether it was the jealous Mitarai or the self-Hyuga Yuki, they all subconsciously looked towards Orochimaru, and their eyes and expressions conveyed a sense of disbelief.
Orochimaru who said thank you, the evil smile on his face was completely engraved in the eyes of the winter night that he could see clearly at close range at that moment.
When the group returned to Konoha, it was already dusk, maybe it was an unforgettable night, and unconsciously, their strength increased, at least Mitarai and Hinata Snow basically did not fall behind, until the end they followed behind Winter Night and Orochimaru, of course, this does not rule out the behavior of Orochimaru releasing water in the middle.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning at eight o'clock sharp." Leaving such words, Orochimaru, who expressed his approval of this team, left, and with a relaxed and freehand action, disappeared in place.
Even though they went through the same night, the experience and the reality they saw with the naked eye did not bring each other closer, but rather that the winter night felt excluded from the group.
For such a situation, Winter Night has no intention of changing, or it doesn't make sense to change or something, right?
"Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow"
Winter Night took the lead in asking to break up, compared to the silent Hinata Snow, Mitarai took the lead in responding to Winter Night's goodbye.
The winter night trot kept a constant speed back home, and when he got to the door, he realized that he had forgotten something important.
Because of Orochimaru's mandatory mission, Winter Night experienced two days and one night outside the village, and during this period, Kai, who stayed in his own home, relied on what kind of way to survive.
With a sense of worry and an expectation that Kai would be able to live alone, Winter Night pushed open the door.
"I'm back!" It's already dusk, and the ninja school should have ended, thinking like this, the winter night shouted into the room.
"You're back, Brother Winter Night."
Hearing the sound that Kai was still alive, Winter Night was still very satisfied for a moment, but when he saw the little guy with an oversized apron and a black face of soot in front of him, he was sad.
Taking off his shoes, he stomped barefoot on the familiar floor, and when he walked in front of Kai, he lowered his body in open arms and wrapped the five-year-old in his open arms.
"Your dad is still on a mission?" Although it was an inadvertent miss, Winter Night was still aware of a reality.
While he had become a ninja himself, he would occasionally leave the village for a while, just like Dai, and during that time, Kaidu would live on his own.
This is a bit too cruel for a five-year-old child, even if Winter Night himself starts to become independent after that person disappears, he is almost six years old, so there is so little he can do, and there is really too little he can do for Kai!
Kai was smiling heartlessly, but he didn't know that the person he was hugging at that moment had thought too much and apologized too much.
When he returned to the kitchen with Kai, he saw that the food he had figured out by himself had turned into a simple jet-black waste, and the battered pan still had jet-black stains from the stir-frying process!
It is conceivable that on a winter night, you can guess what kind of food Kai has eaten for the past two days.
"Give me the apron and go buy some meat and come back." He took out a stack of money from his wallet and handed it to Kai, who was still talking about the cuisine of his youth.
"Hurry up, we'll have a big dinner in the evening!" On the one hand, he can't stand the baptism of Kai's "youth", and on the other hand, he is also to entertain Kai, who has lived alone for two days and one night, and is ready to show off his amazing cooking skills on a winter night.
Kai, who had eaten a lot of homemade devil's dishes, tasted the delicious normal food again, and he burst into tears unexpectedly on a winter night, although he did not admit that they were tears, but insisted that they were the regret of "youth"!
