Chapter 8 Only Our Way

"Really...... Your kid's personality is completely different from that kid's personality of the wind! It's not cute at all! ”

Kakashi rolled his eyes and sighed and spit out.

Su Zeying shrugged.

"yes - with the gentle personality of the eldest brother, he must have been very popular when he was in the ninja school."

Su Zeying said speculatively.

"No, it's not."

Unexpectedly, Kakashi actually denied it.

"Eh, isn't it?"

"Noβ€”to be honest, Tempest was a bad guy to get along with in the ninja school...... Because of the early death of his parents, coupled with the outstanding talent, he entered the school at a very young age, but because of a combination of many factors, he stayed in the ninja school for many years and was delayed from graduating......"

"I remember when I first saw that guy, Moonlight Storm was also a gloomy guy - he also had dark circles under his eyes, and now Storm is much cuter than he was back then...... At that time, the moonlight was a very young boy who held a long knife and carried a murderous face all day long......"

Kakashi said as if nostalgic, unknowingly revealing the dark history of Moonlight Blast.

"I didn't expect my eldest brother to have this kind of past ......"

Su Zeying couldn't hold back and laughed:

"Haha!"

But then he asked curiously:

"So...... Big brother, why did he become what he is today? ”

"Because of your father."

Kakashi glanced at Su Zeying with interest.

"My ...... Father. ”

Su Zeying paused.

"That's right-your father, I remember it should be called Su Ze Lianma, but Uncle Su Ze is more agreeable...... It's a mentor who is regarded as a father by that guy in the wind. It is precisely because of your father's presence that the wind guy has gradually become a normal person, and although he was born with a weak physique, he can laugh very gently...... In the end, he actually abducted the most beautiful junior in the school, Mao Yue Xiyan, ah......hh

Kakashi, who has been a single dog for 10,000 years, can only feel love with the little yellow book "Affectionate Paradise", has great resentment towards people winning the moonlight blast, and his words can't help but bring anger between his words.

But at this time, Su Zeying didn't have the heart to complain at all, and when he heard Kakashi's previous words, he just stood in silence for a while, and said in a complicated tone tentatively:

"My ...... Father......"

In my life, I have never seen the man who gave half of his body, and his impression of him is all constructed by the photos of his home and the words of the moonlight blast, an ordinary, middle-aged ninja.

INTERVIEWER It feels a bit like the most common image of a manager who works hard from 9 to 5 in a traditional Japanese company and works diligently every day.

As for how much affection he actually has, Su Zeying really can't say it, he just feels very empty.

Kakashi noticed Su Zeying's face.

Although he couldn't tell his mood at this time, he could roughly figure out Su Zeying's mood.

Scratching his head, Kakashi said lightly:

"Su Zeying. I don't know what you're thinking at this point - but, as a ninja, you have to bear the constant death of those around you, and the constant destruction of familiar things - and have the awareness to bear this pain. ”

"I've heard about youβ€”I think your plan is quite whimsical, but I have to say that I appreciate your courage."

"Thank you."

Su Zeying raised her head and smiled at the silver-haired man with a faint expression.

Kakashi's expression didn't change, just a little more smile in his eyes.

"I should still have this kind of awareness. Merely...... There will never be a day when I will need this enlightenment. ”

Su Zeying clenched his fists and said firmly.

"I hope so."

Kakashi finally smiled faintly, but there was a lot of helplessness in it.

"It's time for me to go...... The rest of the road should be left to the two of you on your own – no matter what, don't die. It seems to me that the Tempest guy already sees you as a brother by blood. ”

Kakashi waved his hand, turned around, and left in style without hesitation.

However, within a few steps, the immature but tough voice floated from behind himβ€”

"Kakashi-sama, you're wrong about one thing - my eldest brother and I are indeed brothers. Although we don't have the same bloodline, my eldest brother and I have long had a bond that is more precious than blood......"

Kakashi paused.

The next second, the corners of his lips showed an imperceptible smile that no one could see. And then leave it altogether.

Looking at Kakashi's departing back, a slight flash flashed in Su Zeying's eyes.

Hotaru, who had been silent before, although he was largely unable to understand the content of the conversation between Su Zeying and Kakashi, but did not interrupt soundly, finally spoke:

"Reflection...... That man is gone, where are we going now? Do you want to go back to the carriage? ”

There was some obvious confusion in Hotaru's voice, and there was a slight panic.

It seems that even with Su Zeying by her side, as an eight-year-old girl, it is still difficult for Hotaru to cheer up in a strange world.

"No, we're not going back."

Su Zeying threw one last look at the bottom of the mountain, and the convoy of horses affected by the previous battle had already reacted, and searched the vicinity with the lights on.

As far as the eye could see, members of the caravan came out one by one, patrolling in all directions.

They should soon find out that the two of us are gone, but this caravan is only a temporary transit point after all, and it is not enough to serve as an end in itself. So there's no shame about saying goodbye.

Su Zeying's heart was full of complex psychological activities.

Then he carried Hotaru on his back, turned around, and began to walk without hesitation. Although it is equivalent to dozens of pounds of weight on his body, because of the strength of this body, Su Zeying did not feel anything wrong.

While heading into the distance, Su Zeying whispered to Firefly:

"Next...... It's our own path. ”

"Hmm."

Hotaru responded slightly.

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm a little scared, but I'm not afraid when I think of being around."

"That's right...... Well, I'll always be there for you. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. ”

The two children whispered softly, accompanied by the sound of the child's fluttering footsteps, and gradually moved away.

The moonlight shone on them, as if they had put on a white garment.
