Chapter Twenty-Nine: All Things Are Done
"I'll convince the patriarch that you can inform me of the date of your departure when the time comes. If I can't even pass the level of patriarch, then I don't have the qualifications and ability to stand on a higher level. β
Nara Kanosuke said.
"Quite conscious, it seems that you have been looking forward to this work for a long time."
Xue Hui expressed his appreciation.
"That's right, that's what I think is more in line with my life than being an ordinary ninja!"
When Nara's Kanosuke said this, his eyes shone like stars.
As the sun waned, it was time for Xue Hui and Orochimaru to say goodbye.
Today's visit has gained something for both of them.
"Let's go, Orochimaru, I've worked hard for you today, and I want to express my gratitude to you, teacher."
After Yukiki said goodbye to the wind, he walked towards the street of Konoha with Orochimaru.
"Teacherβ"
Orochimaru said hesitantly, his face tangled.
"Huh? In front of me, you can say whatever you want, and I'm not the stern guy who slashes the day. β
Xue Hui said.
"Why would anyone not want to be a ninja?"
Orochimaru thought back to Nara's radiant look when he talked about strategy, and compared it to the other times when he was not energetic.
"Why? Orochimaru, ninja is just a profession, but those of us are given the responsibilities and obligations that only ninjas can do, so our lives are bound to ninjas. β
"What's more, just like the original Hokage said about the will of fire, this is already a kind of inheritance, and a truly powerful village must have a concept that echoes itself, and it is the same in Vortex Village."
"But not everyone is like this, there are many life goals in this world other than ninjas, just like Shikanosuke, compared to those ordinary ninjas who spend their lives in chaos, he is lucky."
"If you can't figure it out, I suggest you take the time to observe people in other professions and see what their meaning in life is, some are small, some are great."
"Don't worry, at your age, confusion is common. Zilai is actually more confused than you, don't look at him as an optimist. But I believe that with your intelligence, when you reach my age, you will understand. β
Xue Hui Education.
"I see, thank you, teacher."
Orochimaru nodded vigorously.
"By the way, teacher, don't forget to call us when you leave Konoha."
"Don't think about it, you can't go to the Vortex Country now."
Xue Hui scolded with a smile, reaching out and knocking on Orochimaru's head.
"I know, I just want to send the teacher!"
Orochimaru covered his head with both hands and ran away quickly.
"This guy has a more cheerful personality! It seems that he is about to get out of the shadow of his parents' sacrifice. β
Xue Hui looked at the big snake pill that ran away and sighed.
β¦β¦
At night, in the land of a thousand hands.
"Xuehui, you said you were going to go back to Vortex Village?"
Mito looked at Yukiki and asked.
"Yes, aunt, the negotiations with Hizai have come to an end, my mission in Konoha is almost complete, and it is time for me to go back to where I really should be."
Xuehui this time, it was like a formal farewell.
"Also, there's a lot going on in Whirlpool Village. But judging by the way you look, you're not going to come to Konoha again. β
Mito was reluctant to do so, but he agreed.
"That's right, I don't think I'll come to Konoha again except for big things related to my aunt."
Xue Hui also has a lot of feelings for Konoha this place, but as a vortex shadow, there are more important things to do.
"Besides, they don't worry about a shadow staying in Konoha for a long time, there is a hidden danger to the safety of Konoha inside, and the views of other countries on Konoha will also change, and they will even say that I am under house arrest or something."
Xue Hui said with a smile.
"You kid said in front of me, I know, they don't want you to come to Konoha frequently and sabotage their governance and plans. Before you know it, you have all grown up, matured, and become more and more strangers. β
Mito said with emotion.
"This is what we have to go through, Auntie, and both me and them are ready for this. Although this is the case, I believe that the friendship between the brothers and sisters will not be completely severed, and there is no need to worry too much about us, auntie. β
Xue Hui comforted.
"Xuehui, there is one thing, I want to apologize to you."
Looking at Tsunade, who was asleep on the side, Mito suddenly said.
"It's the next person's business, I'll arrange it."
Xue Hui said.
"I ended up being selfish, and I really couldn't bear to let Tsunade become a human pillar, which is why they made this request to you."
Mito looked apologetic.
Xue Hui shook his head and expressed his denial:
"That's not the case, auntie, it's better for me than the other requirements, after all, in this way, the human pillar power of the Nine-Tails is equivalent to our Vortex Clan, isn't it? Moreover, the person I choose will definitely make you and the Nine Lamas like it. β
Xue Hui said.
Suddenly, Mito pulled Yukiki up and came out of the unoccupied backyard, and just when Yukiki was strange, a different voice came out of Mito's mouth.
"Mito, what are you doing! It's not that I don't know that Tsunade is sleeping next to me, I'll be quiet, why did I have to come here to let me out! β
As soon as Nine-Tails opened his mouth, he complained to Mito, and only after being appeased by Mito did he look at Xue Hui.
"Xue Hui."
At the same time as the Nine-Tails spoke, Mito's body was covered with a coat of Nine-Tails Chakra, which caused the same situation to occur on Yukiki's body.
"I want you to answer me why you don't want to be my host, but you want to be the host of my small chakra!"
Nine-Tails complained dissatisfiedly.
"Nine Lamas, this is a choice made out of necessity, between life and death, I can't think about it so much. I'm not like you, who can be reborn after a few years of death. β
Xue Hui explained helplessly.
"Hmph, I'll accept your words, I hope you can do what you say, and choose someone who satisfies me."
The Nine Lamas clasped their hands to their chests and said arrogantly.
"Of course, you're satisfied."
Xue Hui patted his chest and reassured.
"It's just that I might quarrel with you every day, just to make you feel that you are not bored to do something."
Xue Hui silently smiled in his heart.
"How do I feel like you're thinking something bad?"
The Nine Lamas looked at Xue Hui deliberately.
"Oh no, I forgot he could sense emotions!"
Xue Hui secretly shouted badly, thirty-six plans to go up.
"How is it possible, it must be something wrong with your feelings, I'm going to tidy things up, good night, aunt, Nine Lamas!"
