It's incredible.

Every time I see Ning Ning, I feel that she is more beautiful than the impression in my mind.

Obviously, people say that the image in fantasy is the most beautiful. However, I still think that the real girl standing in front of me is the most beautiful.

That vivid vitality, no matter how rich the imagination, is far from comparable.

"Ning Ning...... How have you been doing? "I started the conversation a little awkwardly.

Ning Ning replied softly, "I encountered a more troublesome task. ”

I suddenly worried, "It's dangerous? Hurt? ”

"Hmm...... No. It's an intelligence-gathering mission. A brother of a family...... Compete with each other for family property. She curled the corners of her lips as if she was a little sarcastic, "It's my brother who entrusted us." ”

"What happened?"

"Later, we gave him the information, and after he read it, he said, can you let us kill his brother directly."

"Ah......h

Mr. Kai refused. He said that the entrusted tasks need to go through the formal process, and we cannot reach an agreement with the client privately. ”

I looked at her with her eyes down, with a pale expression, and I don't know why, I felt that she seemed to be a little sad at the moment.

And I didn't answer for a while, Ning Ning paused, and then took the initiative to ask me, "Then, what about Teacher Zhencheng?" Have you encountered anything interesting lately? ”

"Huh?"

"I heard that when our class was not in the village, near the ninja school, a Uchiha spirit appeared? Many people have seen it, but has Mr. Masumi seen it too? ”

“…… ......The corners of my mouth twitched, and after hesitating for a moment, I pretended to regret and said, "I've only heard others talk about it." ”

"That'...... Teacher Masumi thinks that after a person dies, will there really be a soul? ”

"Ning Ning?"

"I was just thinking...... It's been several years since the Uchiha clan was wiped out, and now the spirits have appeared...... Is it because souls gather more slowly? Or do you have to cultivate for a few years after you die before you can be seen? ”

Seeing her stunned, she seemed to be really thinking about this. I wondered, did she think of her father?

"Ning Ning...... Be careful! She was in a trance for a moment, and the kitchen knife cutting straight to her fingertips was so startled that I quickly grabbed her wrist holding the knife and dragged it in the air.

Her wrists are so slender that I can hold them all in the palm of my hand.

Press the fingertips on the palm of her wrist, and you can even feel her pulse beating.

"Genius ninja," Seeing that she came back to her senses, I quickly let go of her hand and half-jokingly: "Don't be bitter and fly without a shuriken, and end up cutting a vegetable and cutting it into your hand." ”

The tips of Ning Ning's ears seemed to be slightly red because of my jokes. She let out a low "um", raised her eyes to look at me, and suddenly smiled and said, "Then, Mr. Zhencheng, do you have any plans during the holidays?" ”

After Naruko and the others graduated, the school also entered the holidays, and it was not until a month later that new students were enrolled, and this year's graduates were about to officially start their new life as shinobi.

I thought for a moment and said, "Just ...... Rest at home, right? What's wrong? ”

I want to go out and travel or something, but in this era, the various countries are still relatively closed, after all, when I love Luo and they came to take the middle ninja exam, Sakura saw ninjas from other villages in her own village, and they were all like great enemies, so it can be seen that the exchanges between the major ninja villages are not common.

But that's normal. After all, decades ago, everyone was still fighting each other.

I only heard Ning Ning say: "That spring break...... When the cherry blossoms are in bloom, do you want to see them together? ”

I was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

But I always felt that Ning Ning shouldn't ask me out alone, thinking that she should have made an appointment with Tian Tian to prepare a group of us to go to enjoy the flowers together, so I asked again, "Have you already told Naruko?" ”

"Nope."

"Then I'll ask her later, but she'll definitely go."

“……”

"What's wrong?"

"Can't it be just the two of us?"

“…… Huh? ”

Ning Ning lowered her head, cut the vegetables for a while, and then looked at me again. "It's just me and Mr. Masumi, can I go and see it?"

…… Generally speaking, don't you always use "can't?" Is this a softer tone to ask rhetorically......

"Is that okay?" Such an inquiry, with a hint of toughness, always feels ......

How bold......

"Ah......" I was stunned for a moment before I quickly replied, "Okay, okay." ”

Ning Ning glanced at me again, "...... It won't be reluctant, right? If Mr. Masumi finds it difficult, forget it. ”

"No, there isn't." I couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly, "I just didn't think of it, so ...... Well...... How to say it, I didn't force it, but I felt that it was an honor. ”

"Really?"

"I'm flattered."

Ning Ning pursed her lips and bent her eyes slightly. "Okay."

"That'...... When exactly? ”

"Is it okay on the 28th?"

"March 28th?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," I said with a smile, "just remembering Sakura-chan's birthday—one of my students, Sakura Haruno—which happened to be her birthday." ”

Because my sister in my previous life also had this birthday, I remember the number March 28 very well.

"Sakura Haruno?"

"Yes. Hey? Does Ning Ning know? ”

"I don't know." Ning Ning lowered her long eyelashes, and asked as if she didn't care, "Is she cute?" ”

"Hmm, what do you say......" I hesitated, not knowing what to describe for a moment.

After all, Sakura Haruno...... Mainly look at the style of painting.

The painting style is powerful, in fact, the appearance is quite high, and standing with Sasuke, the beauty is not much lost. But the style of painting is not powerful, no matter how others praise her cuteness, it is a little unconvincing.

I was about to answer it seriously, but suddenly I had a stir and reacted violently - why should I answer such a question so honestly??

I glanced at the beautiful and fair-skinned side face of the white-eyed girl next to me, and tried to make my tone seem calm and natural: "...... Ning Ning is more cute. ”

"Huh?" As if she didn't expect me to say this, Ning Ning's eyes widened suddenly.

As if suspecting that she had misheard, she turned her head again, looked up at me, and said in surprise, "What? ”

But looking at her face and asking me to repeat that ambiguous word, I was a little speechless. “…… It's nothing. ”

“…… Wrong. You say I'm cute. ”

I suddenly cried and laughed, "Didn't you hear that?!" ”

"Do you say that to all girls?"

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"So, I'm the first?"

"If you want to say that......" I always felt that she was embarrassed to emphasize this—the kind of embarrassment that she was embarrassed, as if she was being teased. ”

Ning Ning looked at me again, stared at me for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. "So, in the eyes of Masumi-sensei, am I the cutest?"

"Hmm," I said simply, "Ning Ning is the cutest of all." ”
