Chapter 23: Preparing Before Leaving
Ayatian's exaggerated reaction startled Xue Feng, she was stunned, and said with a puzzled face:
"Why did you react so much, it almost scared me to death.
"I'm not talking about this as a task, it's just to give me a chance to learn the secret art of 'Ice Escape', so that I have to learn it within the specified time."
Now it's Ayatian's turn to be puzzled:
"Of course, this is not a task, it is clearly a reward! Mizukage is looking for you for this? ”
Yukikaze nodded:
"Don't forget that Mizukage-sama is the patriarch of our Snow Clan, so of course you have to pass through his nod to learn the secret art of 'Ice Escape'.
"As for my real mission, it's definitely still yet to come, Mizukage-sama said that he would let me go to the front line when I learned the secret arts."
At this time, Kaguya Moon on the side suddenly said curiously:
"But haven't you done nothing in the last few months? Why does Mizukage-sama reward you for learning secret arts? ”
Xue Feng's face gradually turned red when she heard this, and she looked at Ayaten shyly and said:
"I asked the family elders about this, and they said that my strength is too weak now, so let me quickly learn the secret arts, so that I can keep up with Ayaten's pace..."
Although Xue Feng was only twelve years old now, she could somewhat see the family's intentions in doing so.
The reason why she was able to accept it in vain was entirely because she had a good relationship with Ayaten.
The family rewarded her for learning secret arts because of Ayaten's face, or to curry favor with Ayaten.
After learning this reason, Yukikaze's feelings were very complicated.
Fortunately, now she is no longer the arrogant girl she was in school, and she knows that the gap between herself and Ayaten is as insurmountable as a moat.
She just wants to improve her strength as soon as possible now, so as not to be pulled away too much by Ayaten.
Yukikaze's reaction surprised Ayaten slightly.
Originally, he thought that Xue Feng would harden his mouth first, but he didn't expect to confess directly and frankly.
"It seems that Yukikaze has also grown~ But is this really the purpose of Mizukage? ’
After sighing inwardly about the change in the snow wind, Ayaten couldn't help but think about the purpose of the three generations of Mizukage.
As Yukikaze said just now, the three generations of Mizukage are from the Snow Clan and are the patriarchs of the Snow Clan.
From the standpoint of the Yukiyi clan and Mizukage, everything that the three generations of Mizukage did was fine.
Because he values him as a peerless genius, he wants to curry favor with him and win him over by taking care of Xue Feng.
Any ninja who was born and raised in the fog would think this makes sense.
But Ayaten is someone who has seen the Hokage.
Once he had the conjecture in his mind that Mizukage might be manipulated by Madara, the suspicion couldn't be stopped.
As long as the three generations of Mizukage have any new moves, he will try to think from Madara's perspective.
If you replace the three generations of Mizukage in this incident with Madara, you will find that it is full of unreasonableness.
First of all, Madara, an old man in his eighties, why would he suddenly take so much care of Xuefeng, a little girl.
Anyway, it's definitely not for women, after all, Madara's heart has already been filled between the pillars.
The only special point of the "Ice Escape Blood Relay Limit" spot is not to be looked at.
No matter how she thought about it, Ayaten felt that it was coming for him.
Especially in the original book, Madara also used Lin's previous convictions, which made Ayaten firm up his conjecture.
If Mizukage is Madara manipulating at this point, then what the hell is he trying to do? Doesn't he already have a soil? ’
After thinking for a while, Ayaten already had a preliminary countermeasure in his heart.
"Xuefeng, go, go to my house and sit down."
Facing Ayaten's invitation, Xue Feng blushed and said shyly: "It's late now, this... Not quite right? ”
Ayaten gently flicked Xue Feng's forehead:
"What do you think, today is Yue's birthday, let's go home and celebrate a little later."
"Oh." Xue Feng covered his forehead with both hands, feeling a little lost in his heart for some reason.
......
A moment later, the three of them arrived home.
After a small celebration as a family, Ayaten pulled Yukikaze into the courtyard.
Bathed in the moonlight swaying from the sky, Ayaten said seriously:
"Yukikaze, promise me one thing, no matter what task Mizukage gives you in the future, you will tell me the content of the task as soon as possible."
Xue Feng was slightly surprised: "No matter what task?" Do you want to talk about the top secret mission too? ”
"Hmm." Ayaten nodded slightly.
Xue Feng's face was entangled when he heard this: "But... But wouldn't that be a violation of the order..."
Ayaten thought about it and looked at Xue Feng with tenderness:
"Yukikaze, for the Snow Clan and the Mizukage, you are just one of many clansmen who can nurture you and take care of you, but they can also use you and abandon you for profit.
"But in my eyes, you are unique, irreplaceable Xuefeng, I will always care for you, take care of you, and not let you be hurt in any way.
"So trust me, Yukikaze."
After saying a few words, the snow wind directly turned into steam, her pretty face was flushed, and smoke was coming out of her head.
At the same time, she was also thinking about what Ayaten had just said.
As soon as he thought that the patriarch could reward her for currying favor with Ayaten, he immediately thought about whether he would use her to deal with Ayaten in the future.
After struggling for a while, Xue Feng nodded lightly:
"Okay Ayaten, I believe in you!"
Ayatian had a happy smile on his face when he heard this: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you!" ”
"Hmm!" Xue Feng nodded obediently.
After that, the two chatted casually for a while, and Yukikaze reluctantly said goodbye to Ayaten and left the Kaguya Clan.
After Yukikaze was completely far away, the voice of the moon suddenly came from behind Ayaten.
"Brother Ayaten, today is my birthday, but you always keep your eyes on Xue Feng."
Ayaten turned around and looked at the moon with a unique charm in the moonlight:
"Month, you are... Jealous? ”
Yue puffed up one cheek, and her little face was slightly red: "Yes..."
Ayatian stepped forward and picked up the moon with a smile: "I was negligent, come, let's dance under the moon." ”
"Okay." Moon nodded slightly.
I saw the two of them dancing under the moon while performing the "corpse bone vein", and the elegant dance was different from any dance in the ninja world, and it was the romance that belonged to their Kaguya clan.
After dancing to their heart's content, the two sat side by side in the courtyard and quietly admired the moon, when Aya spoke again.
"Yue, you heard the conversation between me and Xuefeng before, right?"
"yes, I heard you."
Ayaten nodded and continued, "I have a hunch that Yukikaze may be dangerous, so I have something to ask you for. ”
"What's the matter?" Yue said curiously.
Ayaten thought for a moment and said, "Before I return to the front line, I will quietly leave a doppelganger at home, and then you go every day to confirm whether Yukikaze is in the village.
"Once you find out that Xuefeng is not in the village and her whereabouts are unknown, you can come to my house and inform my doppelganger, is that okay?"
"Brother Ayatian, don't worry, leave this matter to me!" Yue nodded earnestly.
