Tianma, who had not left the abandoned exercise ground on the 11th for a week, took off his training clothes and Konoha forehead guard, changed into a white sweatshirt and trousers, thought about it and added a knee-length white muslin windbreaker jacket, took out a silver dragon necklace that he hadn't worn for a long time, carefully washed his face, tidied up his hair, and the whole person immediately became a little more energetic, and the decadence of staying at home for a week gradually dissipated.

Trying to squeeze out a smile in the mirror, Tianma looked at the weirdly deformed smile in the mirror, and finally gave up in a decadent way, what do you love......

Walking out of the house, he walked out of the outer forest along the grassy path outside the small two-story door, and as the road widened, Pegasus walked from the outlying area of Konoha to the remote residential area, which was considered to be populated.

Some bored looking around, although the sun is in the middle, but there are more trees around the leaves, the air does not seem dry and stuffy, but there is a feeling of humidity and comfort, at this time it is summer, the cicadas are shouting, and there are not many people around, probably because there are fewer residents around.

Along the sidewalk through the middle of the community, under the shelter of the shade of trees on both sides of the road, Pegasus walked a little lazily, the weather was very good today, with a light breeze, very pleasant.

Pegasus didn't have a destination, so he walked aimlessly, the feeling of anxiety in his heart slowly faded, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, nodding and smiling at the sporadic passers-by, and then walked away, slowly opening his mind.

Pegasus walks very slowly and casually, stopping once in a while, and the index finger that Pegasus has in his pocket moves, but he suddenly wants to smoke.

It's been two weeks since I crossed over and haven't smelled the bitter taste of tobacco.,It's probably because I'm puberty again.,It's a ninja profession.,I'm afraid of affecting my height and physical strength in the future.,Tenma is trying hard to restrain his desire for tobacco.,But today I don't know why I want to be happy and presumptuous.。

Standing still, Tianma's eyes scanned the surrounding buildings, most of them were ordinary residential buildings or apartments, and occasionally a few shops were only selling some melons, fruits, vegetables, firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., and there were no retail stores selling tobacco and alcohol.

Thinking carefully about the surrounding terrain, after walking through this neighborhood and turning left, it seems to be a small commercial street, Pegasus chuckled, and after crossing over, with the improvement of mental power and reflexes, his memory and observation skills also improved a lot.

After making up his mind, Pegasus did not speed up, but still walked unhurriedly on the path in the residential area, slowly walked to the corner, and after a few Indian styles with his hands, in a puff of smoke, the original young Pegasus became an adult image in his twenties in his previous life, not ugly or handsome, ordinary.

After changing his appearance, Pegasus turns around the corner and heads left. After walking more than 200 meters, I walked out of this remote residential area and came to a street that was not bustling. There are more pedestrians here, and today is the weekend, and the residents who live in the surrounding area tend to lead their families to enjoy a leisurely shopping trip, or couples or families, but there are very few people like Pegasus who hang out alone.

A few steps into the shopping street, there was a small retail store with simple decoration, and Tianma did not go any further, but stepped into the store.

"Welcome~" Standing behind the counter is a middle-aged man, who looks very ordinary and has no characteristics, so I won't introduce much.

Tenma nodded and smiled at the boss, as if he said hello, casually swept the goods in the store, and the rows of tobacco in different packages placed in the glass counter did not have the brand that Tenma was familiar with in his previous life, and then laughed to himself and shook his head.

"Please give me a pack of cigarettes." As his mood recovered, Tenma's voice became soft and gentle, reflecting a faint smile on his face, very gentle and tolerant, as if there was a faint detachment of temperament lingering around him.

As if he was taken aback, the boss was a little stunned, and then stammered a little, "Oh~oh~ The guest doesn't seem to be a ninja!" So how about this brand? ”

Tenma looked at the white box of tobacco that the boss was pointing to, nodded, and then sensed the boss's words, "Ninja? Is Ninja any different? ”

"Well~ That's right, the ninja smokes a cigarette that is different from ordinary cigarettes, with some herbs added to it, which will not affect lung capacity, and it will be a little small

Nourishment, well, of course, is also a lot more expensive. The boss reached out for a cigarette and replied casually.

"That's it! That's good, so please give me a pack of ninja cigarettes! It's okay to be expensive. Tenma's eyes lit up slightly, and he stopped the boss's movements.

"Huh? Good, good. The boss was slightly stunned, then put the cigarette in his hand back in its place, and took out a box of tobacco from the glass counter next to it. Sorry, very few ninjas come here to buy cigarettes, so there is only one variety. ”

"It's okay." Tenma looked at the cigarette that was indeed only available in this package on the counter, "How much does it cost?" ”

"3000 taels, thank you for your patronage!" The boss took out the cigarette and put it on the counter, smiling a little embarrassedly.

It's not cheap! Paid for two D-class missions. sighed, Tianma took out the money and handed it to the boss, and then remembered, "Hmm~ Please give me another lighter!" ”

"1000 taels, steel windbreak lighter." The boss took out a black frosted steel lighter from the booth behind him and placed it on the counter with the tobacco.

After paying the bill, Tenma took the cigarette and lighter, then smiled at the boss, turned around and walked out of the store casually, his movements indescribably gentle.

"Welcome back!" Immediately, a subtle exclamation also came, "It's really rare to see a gentle person!" Well. ”

Listening to the voice behind him, the smile on Tenma's face was undoubtedly more, and then he walked out of the shopping street, canceled the transformation technique, and returned to his teenage body again, taking out a cigarette from his pocket, and the packaging box was a pure black soft box, and on it turned out to be a string of English, blackstone, well, blackstone.

Some couldn't wait to tear open the seal, skillfully flicked at the bottom of the cigarette box, a pure white cigarette butt cigarette poked out of the seal for three or four centimeters, raised his left hand lightly, Tianma gently choked the cigarette butt that poked out, and the snow-white eyes took out the black cigarette case.

"Ding!" In the crisp sound of steel clashing, the dark green flame body licked the tail of the cigarette, and a thin white smoke escaped, and he took a deep breath.

The smoke with a bitter aroma enters the lungs with the air, bringing a faint tingling sensation and a refreshing cooling sensation, and slowly exhales it. "Surprisingly good taste!" Tenma tasted it with some admiration.

Tasting a taste that he hadn't tasted for a long time, Tianma didn't stay too long, nor did he follow the road to the more prosperous central area of the village, but followed the original road back to the remote residential area, and he was really a pure house?

Looking up at the most remote and tallest building in the residential area, it seemed to be a water storage tower, and the chakra under the feet of the Pegasus was slightly attached to the thin chakra, and it formed an Indian form, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

After four or five consecutive instantaneous movements, Tenma had already sat on the top of the water tower, turned his back to the residential area, and placed his legs in the air outside the water tower at will, swaying gently, his eyes slightly squinting at the lush forest not far away.

The sunlight was slightly obscured by the clouds drifting from nowhere, and the wind was a little fierce in the heights, and the windbreaker was pulled behind him, making the sound of hunting, and Pegasus sat lazily, smoking a cigarette and looking at the scenery.

Turning his head inadvertently, a petite and thin figure was reflected in the lazy eyelids of the Pegasus, and this water tower Pegasus was not the only guest, let alone the first to arrive.

When was it already here? Why didn't you notice it?

Pegasus' pupils shrank slightly, and the figure was a girl, dressed in a slightly heavy black gothic dress, standing there quietly, the corners of the skirt flying wantonly.

"I'm Igarashi Pegasus. What about you? ”

"Seeing the saki, the singing, the sorrowful ......"

Misaki…… Is it?

This is the first meeting between Tenma and Misaki, and the hunting clothes on the water tower are duel.

Years later, no matter how much Tenma recalls, he can't remember what Mizaki looked like at that time, all that remains is the short black hair, pale face, long skirt dancing in the wind, and a blood-red rational almost cold eyes.

The ten-year-old petite and thin figure actually stood out of the world and became independent, no, it should be said that it was almost a feeling of loneliness and emptiness......

Misaki, that's what ...... Fate?
