The girl walked alone.

Road?

Inexistent.

It was pitch black all around, so you couldn't see anything and couldn't tell the direction, so you could only rely on your feelings to move forward, and you never gave up.

But is it really moving forward?

Hell knows.

Anyway, in this environment where there is nothing, I walked alone for a long, long time, and I couldn't see the blue sky and white clouds, and I couldn't perceive the passage of time.

Loneliness, loneliness, fear, fear, and grievance.

She wanted to cry.

But in the end, I didn't cry, I just silently endured the feeling of loneliness and loneliness, carrying everything on my back, and moving in an unknown direction.

There is no destination.

She didn't know where she was going, she didn't know where else she could go, she just moved forward, alone and silently, until she couldn't walk.

But what's the point?

Perhaps.

Or maybe not.

Then, when she was confused, the "light" appeared in front of her, and at first it was only a very faint light, so weak that people didn't care at all.

One day, the light turned into the sun, warming her body and mind, and also illuminating the way forward, and the world became colorful, no longer a dark patch.

But the monster appeared.

It's scary.

The colorful world turned blood-red, and the monster from the darkness easily tore all the good things to pieces, and also tore apart the dusty memories.

Konoha killed her parents?

Not.

It's because of the misfortune of ability, the pain of expectation, and the tragedy of the monster that is born deep inside.

Who can be blamed for this?

Myself?

Or parents?

Neither.

There are many reasons for this tragedy, and you can't blame all of them on one person, you can only say that the world is like this, yes, it's all the fault of the world.

That's what this world is.

Therefore, no one is more fortunate than anyone else, and no one is more unfortunate than anyone else, and being born in this world is already the greatest misfortune.

And then what?

Faced with the monster that she had conceived, Kurama Yakumo was confused, she didn't know what she should do or what she could do.

At this moment, she no longer has a direction to move forward, and there is no reason to move forward.

That's how it should be.

However, Qingming appeared beside her, obviously her inner world, but Qingming seemed to be able to come and go freely, and she couldn't even find out.

"So ......"

He looked at her, with a smile on his face that was similar to before, very sunny and bright, as if at this moment, her inner world was full of warmth.

"Do you want to come with me?"

Qingming asked, holding out his hand to her.

"If you don't have anywhere to go and don't know what else to do in the future, then join me and find the meaning of our existence in this world."

He and her, perhaps, are the same people.

But......

Together?

She hesitated.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his hand and put it on the palm that Qingming stretched out, there was a reassuring feeling, and it seemed that there was nothing to be afraid of.

She.

Kurama Yakumo.

On this day, she found her companion, Qingming, an unfamiliar teenager, who broke into her life and became a part of her life.

Fuxi? Woe to you?

……

Inner demons.

For a Taoist, this thing is nothing, almost every Taoist priest will encounter it, but for ninjas, this kind of thing is relatively rare.

Wonder is the daughter of ignorance.

For things that we don't understand, in addition to curiosity and fear, human beings always don't like those that are different, and they are also afraid of those who are different.

But almost everyone wants to be different.

Cause?

This kind of thing is good in any way.

Kurama Yakumo.

A girl who has a "monster" in her heart, the so-called "heart demon", the real murderer of her parents, is this monster.

Then she forgot about it, hating the three generations of Hokage, hating Sunset Red, hating almost everything in Konoha.

Until today.

With Qingming's help, the "monster" was easily killed by her, and then, life returned to normal, and life became peaceful, although only superficially.

……

The inner world is different from the outside world, and it seems that a long time has passed, but in fact it has only been a short time, so outsiders do not notice anything.

In their opinion, Kiyoshi just stared at Kurama Yakumo (kissing?). For a moment, and then they separated, as if they were saying something there.

Say what?

The distance was too far and the wind was too strong, so they couldn't hear clearly, and tried to tell by the shape of their mouths, but they couldn't see clearly, and they were quickly blocked.

I tried a little.

Then just give up, it doesn't seem like a big deal anyway, Qingming is not the kind of person who wants to do things, so he doesn't need to care too much.

But is it really?

God knows.

Moreover, Qingming doesn't want to do things, he just doesn't know who the things are.

It doesn't matter.

In fact, Qingming didn't say anything extraordinary, he just squatted down in front of the sitting girl, stretched out his hand and touched her little face, with a smile on his face.

"Then, from now on, you will be my apprentice, if you are not suitable to be a ninja, then don't be a ninja, ninja is nothing great, learn from me to be a Taoist."

That's what he said.

Apprentice?

So he wants to take in apprentices?

Congratulations.

……

Afternoon.

Qingming returns to the coffee shop with Kurama Yakumo.

Block?

Inexistent.

I don't know what the reason is, maybe it's the order of the three generations of Hokage, or maybe it's the order of the newly appointed five generations of Hokage, anyway, no one is stopping Qingming.

Maybe that means he can do whatever he wants in Konoha?

Possibly.

But what should I say, Qingming, this person, is still quite low-key, he won't do whatever he wants, and it's not just anyone who can let him do whatever he wants.

That's not to mention for now.

"In short, from now on, Yakumo is my apprentice, a personal disciple, not a maid or anything else, half of the owner of the coffee shop."

Qingming explained this to Hinata Xia and Bai, although the coffee shop originally had two owners, one was himself, and the other was Tiantian, one person and half came.

Of course, a disciple can also inherit the master's things, so it is okay to say that he is half a master.

"Hello."

Kurama Yakumo saluted them in a regular manner.,How to say it's also the eldest lady of the Kurama clan.,In terms of etiquette,I also learned it when I was a child.,Impeccable.。

Hinata Natsu can see it at a glance.

A little confused.

Men have men's salutes, women have women's salutes, maids have maids' salutes, and eldest ladies have eldest ladies' salutes.

The girl in front of her is obviously an eldest lady, but is there such a eldest lady in Konoha originally? Why haven't you heard of it before?

She didn't know.

Qingming didn't say the girl's surname, just the name.

Yakumo......

Which family's eldest lady is it? Could it be that she came to Konoha from the outside? Is it the family of the Fire Country? Or is it some family in one of those other countries?

I don't understand at all.

But this is not something that she needs to worry about, so she didn't think much about it, but together with Bai, she returned the salute to this "little master" in a proper manner.

"Miss Yakumo."

Said a word, and then didn't say anything more.

Qingming suddenly brought back such a "personal disciple", which surprised them, and they were a little uncomfortable, and they didn't understand why Qingming did this.

Of course, more importantly, there are also Haruno cherry blossoms.

Turn your head.

The two of them looked at Sakura Haruno, who was standing on the side in a daze, she came to help today, and she hasn't left until now, and then something like this happened.

Apparently she came first.
