Chapter 23: Konoha in the Dark

Now, as the war has come to a real end, many ninjas have already made a name for themselves in the war, except for the well-known Hachiki Shuo Shigeru, the remaining Konoha is famous for the "Three Ninjas".

Since meeting Orochimaru, Winter Night has deliberately learned about the other party, and he is one of the three people called the "Three Ninjas", and among them, for the other two in the "Three Ninjas", Winter Night has also heard of it.

Tsunade? Winter Night had a vague guess, but he was not sure, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the back of the other party walking into the hospital, frowned, and finally followed.

After turning around the corridor aisle several times in a row, Tsunade, who was not far in front of him on a winter night, finally stopped, perhaps deliberately, and few people passed by in the corridor that was specially chosen.

"Little ghost, is there anything you have been following me about?" Tsunade turned around and opened her mouth with a word of precision that showed that she had discovered the Winter Night early on.

"I want to learn medical ninjutsu." Facing Tsunade, who walked slowly in front of him, feeling the pressure of the air stagnating, he said bluntly.

"Huh?" Softly surprised, but that didn't stop her from speaking next.

"You should be glad you didn't find any other reason, otherwise you wouldn't have wondered what was going to happen?" When she said the last sentence, she was very serious, it was not a threat, but it was more dangerous.

Winter Night's instinct may have been to say sorry, but he didn't say it in the end, because for her, the so-called sorry didn't mean much.

"Why?" Faced with a winter night that was silent and didn't know what to think, Tsunade's patience was the first to be exhausted.

"Why do you think I'm going to teach you? Also why would I agree? It seemed that he thought that Winter Night didn't know what she meant, so he explained more.

Facing the other party's sarcastic and disdainful gaze, Winter Night has no idea of resisting, the weak person's request for the strong is a shameless act of losing self-esteem, Winter Night accepted it from the beginning, such a shameless self, so he won't be angry, and it is impossible for him to be angry.

"I don't want to be taught by Tsunade-sama, I just hope that Tsunade-sama will give me a chance to learn medical ninjutsu."

Winter Night knew how cheeky he was at the moment, and he knew how ridiculous he was, but he finally said it, whether it was ashamed or arrogant, for him, courage was not a momentary rise, but a decision that had already been made.

"Do you think I'll agree? Stalker Imp. Tsunade's expression seemed to change, but that didn't stop her from despying the little guy in front of her.

"Do you still agree?" The dominance is not in his own hands, and Winter Night, who knows this, just repeats his request.

"Why?" Again, it's the same question.

"Why do you want to learn medical ninjutsu?" She looked at the young imp, and perhaps she couldn't think of a reason for how he could hold on.

"Before, it was to help a guy, but now, I just want to increase the possibility of survival when necessary in the future."

Winter Night may have been really learning medical ninjutsu for the sake of Maite Dai, but when he learned more about medical ninjutsu, he also made up his mind that he was alive, and he didn't know when, Orochimaru's influence on him was already doomed.

"Alive, are you?" Would there be such a little imp thinking about such a thing? I thought the other party was joking, but I couldn't see it.

Tsunade flickered his gaze at the winter night, and the other party's black pupils did not move away to look at her, in those eyes, she couldn't see, confused!

"Name?"

"Winter night, Liuchuan winter night."

"Rukawa?" Have a memory of the name? The winter night seemed to feel the other party's gaze scrutiny, and there seemed to be a hint of inexplicability.

"Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, I will get up and go to Hokage Rock and wait." Tsunade left, leaving a sentence that he didn't know how to explain, and left.

Winter Night didn't know how the other party planned to arrange it, but he knew that he was hovering in front of two choices, go or not, but there was only one choice or something at the beginning of the decision.

visited Maite Day, forcefully stopped the other party's idea of early discharge, and then returned home on a winter night and started his daily day again.

Compared with fatigue, winter nights may be more unbearable than the repetition of day after day, but in the same way, compared to that kind of repetition, the most unbearable thing is that you can't get stronger faster.

Accustomed to the time, before four o'clock, Winter Night got up from bed, because Maite Dai was forced to stay in the hospital for a while longer, so Maitkai also had to stay a little longer by Winter Night's side.

As usual, after separating the extreme shadow clone, Winter Night ran towards the Hokage Rock, and there was still time for it, but Winter Night didn't want to let go of the time to exercise himself like this.

Arriving at the Hokage Rock, the eyes were desolate, the cold of the winter was already low, coupled with the cold wind blowing at any time, the winter night felt the coldness of the skin seeping into the body, the chakra ran slightly, a blue light flashed in an instant, and then everything returned to normal.

Winter Night didn't look the slightest different, but in fact, the cold in his body had been reduced a lot.

It's still early, this is the reason why Winter Night didn't find the other party, of course, before that, he had already searched very carefully.

Approaching the cliffs of Hokage Rock, facing the frenzied mountain wind, slapping against Winter Night's body like a blade, he didn't dodge and escape, letting them crash into his body that had been tempered countless times.

Looking down from a high vantage point, you should be able to see everything in Konoha Village clearly, and it seems that you have such a thought in your heart, and the winter night does not know the source of its birth.

Because of its unique angle, the only thing that can be seen on a winter night is Konoha who is hiding in the endless darkness at the moment.

The darkness seems to have no end, time seems to extend for a long time, and everything seems to have lost its original face in the darkness.

The occasional early glow became only an insignificant embellishment, and in fact, they were not as conspicuous as a few extra bits of ink in a blank sheet of paper.

Is Konoha beautiful like this? Winter Night suddenly realized that the source of his thoughts came from, maybe it all came from the conversation with Hachiki Sakushige, just to see this village where he was born, raised, and then born in pain.

A few bright lights in the darkness, is this the Konoha I see? Is this the truth of Konoha? And the closest Konoha in his heart?

Didn't he stay in love, the first rays of the morning sun under the Konoha leaves? I thought about it in my heart, but I lost interest in looking at it, because I was afraid of forgetting! Forget the beauty that attracted him under the endless darkness before the light came.

That early morning, when the hour hand might have struck several hours in a row, no one came, and the winter night was just a silent man who continued his cultivation, and he didn't seem surprised by everything that happened in front of him, no, maybe he was ready to accept all kinds of conjectures.

The day passed quietly, and the winter night did not end the process of exercising until the arrival of night, and quietly ran back towards the residence of the person he cared about.

The only result of a large amount of consumption, brunch not being replenished, was to make the dinner of that winter night several times more than usual.
