Chapter 5 The Awakening of the Tinder
Seeing Inuzuka looking at her face, the white-eyed girl's face gradually turned red. For a moment, Inuzuka thought he had seen Hinata, the future eldest lady of the Hyuga clan. But it's clear that this girl is not Hinata, but has a similar personality. The same gentle words, the same easy to blush and shy.
Inuzuka is very interesting about this, after all, for him in his previous life, he would be a shy and blushing girl, but it is a rare species like a giant panda.
"You know me? Little sister, what's your name? Inuzuka asked softly with a slight tilt.
"I've seen you...... I'm from the Hyuga clan, Hinata. The little girl lowered her head, her voice barely audible.
It's also thanks to Inuzuka Tree's super sensitive hearing, so he can hear Hinata Qingdai's words clearly. Looking at Hinata's thick bangs that were used to cover her forehead, and the white gauze that was exposed between her head, Inuzuka suddenly fell silent.
If you guess correctly, this Hyuga Qingdai is the Hyuga family that decided the fate of the caged bird at birth. Because Inuzuka Tree has summed up a small rule through the animation of his previous life. That is, Hinata's clan never wears a forehead guard on his forehead. Hinata's ninja forehead guard has always been tied around the neck or on a small thin waist, and Hinata, as the heir of the royal family, simply never wears a forehead guard. Hinata, on the other hand, wore a forehead guard from the moment he appeared, just to cover the caged bird mark that he considered ugly and shameful.
As if sensing the silence of Inuzuka next to him, Hinata Qingdai's face flashed a hint of paleness. Yes, even the other members of the Konoha family look down on us who are imprisoned like slaves.
Just when Hinata Qingdai was in a low mood, she suddenly felt a light breeze beside her. She looked up in amazement, and saw the Inuzuka tree, which had not yet stood just now, standing like a straight little tree at the moment. He grinned at her, then took a rare look of seriousness. And one of his hands was raised high at the moment, and a pair of black and white eyes were staring at the three generations of Hokage who had just finished speaking.
Ape Feiri took a puff of dry cigarette, and was squinting his eyes to enjoy it, when he saw the small hands raised high in the middle of a group of small people. Sarutobi spit out a big white smoke ring and asked curiously, "Inuzuka tree, what do you want to do?" β
Inuzuka ran to his side with a whoosh, and even Hokage-sama was slightly startled by such a swift speed.
"Do you want to duel with me?" The corners of Ape Feiri's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to reach out and hold down the little guy, he saw the latter stand upright with a sudden brake, and then, with extremely strange eyes, looked at his outstretched big hand. The middle-aged and elderly uncle, who had been cultivating for a long time, even sensed a hint of amusement in the eyes of this little ghost.
Ape Fei Ri coughed awkwardly and retracted his hand silently.
"Dear Great Hokage Grandpa, after listening to your interpretation of our Konoha Fire Will, I want to share my feelings, okay?" Inuzuka has his hands behind his back and his head is up, looking well-behaved and cute. Yukimaru, who was cowering in his hat, also stuck his head out and snorted at Hokage-sama.
Sarutobi first smiled dumbly, and then caught a glimpse of the serious look on Inuzuka's face, so after a little groaning, he nodded in agreement. Although I never thought that a three-year-old child could say anything profound, I was also a little curious about what new insights this child who threatened to protect Konoha would say.
Inuzuka saw that Hokage-sama nodded, and immediately stood up straight. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ape Fei Ri even felt a strong aura called self-confidence from this little little bit.
Inuzuka didn't rush to speak, but first swept the audience quietly with a pair of bright eyes. Under this silent gaze, the originally somewhat noisy team gradually quieted down. This scene suddenly made Ape Feiri's eyes light up.
"Humph! This little imp knows how to be in the limelight. In the corridor on the second floor of the ninja school, a little boy with black hair about five years old looked at the scene that was happening in the square, and muttered angrily with the corners of his mouth.
"What are you doing?" A boy with a toothpick in his mouth walked over and asked curiously.
"Well, the wind. I'm watching a stinky kid put on a show. The Uchiha family's little genius, Uchiha Shisui, turned his head and said with a smile.
Seven-year-old Moonlight Wind leaned over the railing, glanced downward, and then coughed and laughed, "It's him, that little guy from the Inuzuka family, and it's said that he's also a great genius." Moreover, the personality is quite extroverted. β
Speaking of this, Moonlight Wind came to Zhishui's side, and asked in a low voice with a smile, "I heard that you went to dig the bird's nest with him?" β
The corners of Uchiha's eyes twitched, and he glared at the unscrupulous moonlight blast with a smile speechlessly, and then snorted coldly and said, "When I went to cultivate in the woods, I just happened to run into him. Hmph, dig out the bird's nest! Wind, don't be fooled by that little ghost's appearance. His proficiency in manipulating chakras is no weaker than you and me. Otherwise, guess why he was able to climb to the top of such a tree? β
When Moonlight Wind heard this, he was immediately shocked, and he didn't even notice that the toothpick in his mouth fell to the ground.
Glancing at Hinata Qingdai again, who was looking at him with a red face, a sunny smile suddenly bloomed on Inuzuka's face.
"Ever since I was two years old, I've loved running to the Hokage. Mom is still worried that I will make trouble on it for this reason......" Before the words fell, a little fat man in the team below rattled and pointed at the Inuzuka tree monster and shouted, "I have seen you standing on it...... Pee down the ground. β
Rumble! The little fat man's sharp turn statement suddenly made the freshmen below very happy.
Inuzuka Tree's pink-carved little face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at the three generations of adults with a weak heart, and found that the other party was just covering his forehead speechlessly, and he didn't mean to punish him, and his heart suddenly had a bottom.
I saw him pointing at the little fat man with his waist crossed, and shouted with a fierce face: "Qiu Dao Bingchang, I can't help it...... Besides, I wasn't very sensible back then. People grow up, are you still a two-year-old child? β
Looking at Inuzuka Tree's solemn appearance, a group of freshmen laughed even more happily. Even Hinata Qingdai couldn't help laughing, covering her small mouth and smiling.
"You're not a two-year-old anymore, you're three!" Ape Fei Ri took a deep breath, and regretted a little in his heart that he had let this little guy come on stage.
"Seeing us smiling so happily and growing up healthy and strong, the two Hokage-sama should be very happy." Inuzuka didn't smile, I saw him looking up at the majestic Hokage Rock, and his voice suddenly said in a low voice.
Hearing Inuzuka's words, a group of children followed his line of sight, and the originally noisy laughter gradually stopped. One by one, they either realized something, or they didn't understand it, but most of them were thinking about the meaning of Inuzuka's words.
Inuzuka retracted his gaze, shook his head, and said, "I once asked my mom why my dad died. She told me that he died to cover his partner and was the hero of Konoha. My patriarch also told me that my father was a ninja who truly comprehended and implemented the Will of Fire. Hearing this, a group of children fell silent. As a descendant of a ninja, there are not a few children like Inuzuka who have lost their loved ones or even both parents. Therefore, it is easy to arouse the psychological resonance of everyone.
Inuzuka suddenly grinned and said, "I didn't say this to make a name for my father, I just thought that since my father was sacrificed because of the will of fire, and there is a debtor and a debtor, I came to find the original Hokage-sama, the originator of the will of fire, and it is always okay to complain about grievances, right?" β
The child's words are unscrupulous, and Inuzuka Tree's words make the three generations and a group of teachers can't help but laugh.
"However, when I stood on the Hokage Rock and looked at the black tombstones engraved with the names of countless heroic ninjas like my father, I seemed to understand a little bit of what the Will of Fire was. Protect your favorite village, protect your family, protect your partners who get along day and night, protect your family members who care about the most, and protect countless young fires like us. Then believe that we can fight bravely to protect these precious things, just like them. Even if it is to challenge a strong fate, even if it is to pay the price of life, it will not hesitate. I think this is probably the true will of fire advocated by our great first Hokage-sama. This is my little superficial and naΓ―ve feeling, I am ugly, thank you. After Inuzuka finished speaking, he bent down his small body, saluted respectfully to the three generations of adults, and then quietly walked back to the team.
The audience, dumb and silent! Everyone, including Ape Fei Ri Slash, was shocked by what the three-year-old child was interpreting.
What is genius enlightenment, what is a blockbuster, this is! If it was a full-fledged ninja with a wealth of mission experience, everyone would not be so shocked. But the key thing is that this Inuzuka tree is only three years old! Judging from the psychological fluctuations of his words, it is obvious that this is his own real thought after careful consideration, which is surprising and delightful.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! The three generations were the first to applaud. Immediately after that, the teachers of the ninja school, followed by all the new students, and the applause gradually became louder.
Hinata Qingdai at the back of the queue also had some tears in her white eyes. In fact, when she heard Inuzuka Shu mention the phrase "protect the family that is connected to her", she already understood why this little brother suddenly went up to speak. Obviously, this smart and unspoken classmate Xiaoshu was aware of his grievances and grievances about the fate of the separation family, so he came up with such a way to comfort and even remind her. Perhaps, the caged bird is indeed a constraint of fate, but it is undeniable that the caged bird does play a major role in guarding the secrets of the white eyes and protecting the family members.
When she heard Inuzuka Shu's last accentuated sentence, "Even if it is to challenge a powerful fate", a line of clear tears finally flowed down her cheeks. Because, she really understood. At this moment, Hinata Qingdai finally showed a bright smile on her face, and the pear blossoms brought rain, which was extremely moving.
