Chapter 57: A Heart-Filled Gift (4k)
"Today's practice is over, it's late, let's go back." Mu Yue said softly.
By this time it was seven o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark.
"Well, goodbye, Teacher Muyue." Obito said goodbye to Mu Yue with an excited face.
"Goodbye, Teacher Muyue." Zhishui also said goodbye to Mu Yue.
"Zhishui, I won't go back with you today, I have something to do with Xiao Lin, you can go back alone." Obito and Shisui said.
Since you want to surprise Zhishui, you will definitely not go back together.
"Well, I'll go back alone." Zhishui nodded, and the expression on his face did not change much.
After finally saying goodbye to everyone, Zhishui walked alone in the direction of home.
The moon on October 19 is also very round, and the shadow of the water stop is getting longer and longer under the moonlight, and it seems that it is not lonely when it is juxtaposed with the trees next to it.
"It's ...... as usual" Zhishui recalls today's day and finds that it is no different from usual.
Come to think of it, is the day of birth really that special to celebrate?
For ninjas, isn't the day of practicing a powerful ninjutsu more memorable?
After walking out of the southern forest, Zhishui gradually walked into the main city, and the people around him gradually increased.
Although it is a time of war, the several sides that started the war have not yet made their efforts, Konoha has not been affected too much, and the main city is still a prosperous scene, although at night, there are still a large number of people on the streets, and there are various shops that are brightly lit.
"Don't cry obediently, wait for your birthday when your mother buys toys for you."
The little child, who had been crying for unknown reasons, quickly regained his smile after being comforted by his mother.
"Daddy, I want to eat that!"
"No, didn't you just finish eating?"
"But I just want to eat it."
"That's only one to eat."
Some children can't help but ask their parents when they see the enticing aroma of fried food on the street.
Some parents can't stand the hard work of their children's innocent little faces, and some parents can make their children give up voluntarily through various skills.
"This is too expensive, and our family can't afford it."
"If you eat it, you'll be captured by the legendary Madara Uchiha this night."
Hearing this, Zhishui's mood was a little delicate, it turned out that his ancestor was enough to stop the child's night crying.
Curious why so many children wanted to eat it, Zhishui bought a croquette and tasted it.
To be honest, the first bite of Zhishui only felt ordinary, and it was very different from the tempura made by Mu Yue.
With the mentality of not wasting food, all the water stops being eaten.
As Shisui gradually approached the Uchiha's clan land, the environment became deserted again.
When he was about to get home, Zhishui felt a sense of relief that today had finally passed.
Although he knew that Mu Yue would not help him celebrate his birthday, because Mu Yue didn't know when his birthday was, and he didn't tell Mu Yue.
But he still couldn't help but have a trace of anticipation in his heart, and the mysterious and powerful Teacher Mu Yue could know his birthday even if he didn't need to tell him.
To be honest, Zhishui hated that he would have this kind of thought, and he thought that if it was Obito, he would definitely go directly to Mu Yue with a happy face and say that my birthday is coming.
Since they didn't tell each other, why should they have expectations, isn't it expecting the impossible to happen?
"Shisui, you have to learn from your grandfather Uchiha Mirror and become a strong-willed and brave ninja who inherits the fire."
Zhishui remembered what his uncle had said to him, and his thoughts were obviously not strong, even though he was currently only a six-year-old with no father and mother.
"Don't think too much, first strengthen your strength, and then practice the breathing method for two hours." Zhishui thought in his heart.
The world of ninjas speaks with strength, and no matter how many ideas there are, there is no point in not having strength.
Zhishui skillfully walked to his home, which looked dark from the outside.
After all, there is no one at home, so it would be strange if the lights were turned on.
Although it was pitch black, it was my own home after all, and as soon as I walked in, before I turned on the light, Zhishui keenly observed that something was wrong, and something more.
He quietly took out the kunai from his ninja bag, changed the rhythm of his breathing, and looked around with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Suddenly, the lights turned on, and the bright white light of the electric lights brightened the otherwise dark room.
"Happy Birthday!"
Holding the kunai ready to fight, Shisui looked at the sudden appearance of Mu Yue and the group of people who were dumbfounded, and the kunai fell to the ground with a bang.
"Happy birthday." Mu Yue congratulated warmly.
"I'm sorry, I was trying to surprise you, but it seems to be a surprise." Mu Yue showed an apologetic expression.
"Hehe, it turns out that you will also show such an expression when stopping the water." Obito looked at Zhishui, whose eyes widened and his face was confused, and said with a smile, that is, there was no camera, otherwise he would have to take a souvenir.
"Stop the water, happy birthday, your youth is constantly advancing." Maitkai gave a thumbs up in celebration.
Zhishui glanced at his home, looking at the joyful decorations everywhere, and his heart was indescribably happy.
How disappointed I have been along the way, and how happy I am to stop the water now.
"Teacher Mu Yue, how do you know that today is my birthday?" The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, and then asked.
Although he was very excited in his heart, Zhishui was really curious, how did Mu Yue know his birthday, it was impossible for him to ask his uncle.
"I don't know, it was Teacher Mu Yue who told us." Obito replied.
"This is the wisdom of adults." Mu Yue said mysteriously.
He is the head teacher of the water stop, this kind of thing is too simple, just take a look at the information of the water stop.
At this moment, Zhishui has a lot of things he wants to say to Mu Yue, but when he comes to his mouth, he doesn't know where to start.
He really didn't expect that he just had a trace of fantasy hidden deep in his heart actually came true, if it weren't for the child who was going to celebrate his birthday on the way home, maybe Zhishui himself wouldn't have noticed that he still had such a fantasy.
Mu Yue really magically knew his birthday, and then brought them to give him a huge surprise at night.
"I ......" Zhishui's mind was a little confused.
"Thank you, thank you, Teacher Muyue, and everyone." In the end, the thousand words in the heart of the water turned into a thank you.
He was really grateful, even if Mu Yue didn't bother to decorate the room to surprise him, he would be very satisfied and excited just by saying happy birthday.
Because he hadn't told Mu Yue about his birthday, he wasn't ready to trouble Mu Yue to help him celebrate his birthday, so it can be said that everything was an accident.
"Look at the cake, this is the one we picked together, although it is not as big as the one we bought for Teacher Mu Yue before, but it is not bad." Obito opened the lid on the cake.
"Shisui, this is my birthday present to you, and I will also cheer together to become a powerful ninja in the future." Maitkai gave Shisui a green tights of his kind.
"Akai, thank you for the gift, I'm very happy." Zhishui thanked.
He decided to keep this dress away and wear it himself, it would feel very strange.
"This is the kunai who won the first place in the junior ninjutsu competition last time, and I can't think of anything to give it away in a hurry, so I'll give this to you."
Obito handed the silver kunai he had won earlier to Shisui, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
The time was too short, he couldn't think of anything to give, and the only thing on his body that could be considered a good thing was the silver kunai who was the first in this competition.
"Obito, thank you for the gift, but since it's so commemorative, why don't you change it to an ordinary kunai, and keep this for yourself." Zhishui said.
He was already very happy that Obito could take out something he cherished so much as a gift, and it was enough to have that heart.
"No, how can you get the gift back, you can take it back, I won't take it back anyway." Obito resolutely stuffed it into the hand of the water stopper.
Seeing that Obito was so resolute, he didn't refuse, and accepted Obito's kindness.
When he was preparing for the start of the junior ninjutsu competition, he went over to get the first place, and when Obito was born, he also gave Obito a handful of silver kunai that was the first.
Nohara Rin's gift was her handiwork, which seemed a bit rushed because of the time factor, but Shisui also saw her heart and nodded her head in thanks.
"Thank you so much." Zhishui took a deep breath and said.
The surprise was so unexpected, and he was so happy.
"Zhishui, you haven't even seen my gift, don't rush to thank you." Mu Yue said with a smile.
Mu Yue handed a rectangular gift box to Zhishui and said, "Open it now, I hope you like it." ”
Zhishui nodded, and without hesitation, he opened the gift directly according to what Mu Yue said, he was very curious about what gift Mu Yue would give him.
After opening it, Zhishui didn't know what to call this gift for a while.
If you say it's kunai, it's a lot longer than ordinary kunai, and it's usually eighteen centimeters and twenty centimeters, and it's thirty centimeters to see Muyue's gift, and it's not long enough to say it's a knife, so it's no problem to call it a short blade directly.
In addition, the appearance of the short blade is relatively ordinary, and it is not as delicate as the silver kunai with soil.
Suddenly, the water stopped and noticed Mu Yue's hands.
At this time, Mu Yue's hands were not wrapped in bandages, and there were many scars on her originally fair and slender hands, which seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships.
Looking at Mu Yue's injured hands, thinking of Mu Yue's previous words that she was learning to make ninja tools, and then looking at the short blade in her hand that was not delicate in appearance, Zhishui instantly understood everything.
Mu Yue's learning to forge forged forbearance was not at all the needs of a strong person as he thought, let alone a nonsensical forbearance shop, but to make a forbearance for him.
At this moment, the short blade, which was originally unsightly, instantly became the best ninja in the ninja world in the eyes of Zhishui, and beat the first silver kunai in the juvenile ninjutsu competition.
Really, Zhishui didn't expect Mu Yue to do this for him.
Even his uncle celebrated his birthday by buying something as a gift, not learning to forge a ninja and then make one himself.
You must know that Mu Yue is very busy, and the teaching time alone is as much as their cultivation time.
"Haha, don't look at this short blade that doesn't look good, it's actually quite practical, I let the boss mix a little chakra metal when forging, and the performance of conducting chakra will be better than ordinary weapons." Mu Yue said with a smile.
It's not that only chakra metal weapons can conduct chakra, it's just that chakra metal has better conductive properties, and weapons made of pure chakra metal have the effect of extending the blade.
Mu Yue wanted to use more chakra metal to build weapons, on the one hand, there was a sudden demand for ninja shops, and he couldn't afford to pay that price.
"But the forging materials are really expensive, the materials alone cost hundreds of thousands of taels, and there will be no too expensive ingredients for your lunch and dinner in the future." Mu Yue said in a joking tone.
"Hundreds of thousands of taels!" Maitkai looked at the short blade in the water stopper in shock, he didn't expect this unsightly thing to cost so much.
"No, I think this weapon is already good-looking, I like it, I like it very much." Zhishui held the short blade in both hands and looked at it carefully, and found that the words "stop and water" were engraved on both sides of the short blade.
At this time, Zhishui was really grateful in his heart, and he felt a little unworthy of Mu Yue to do this.
Has he known Mu Yue for a long time, in fact, it is not long, not even a year.
He is not Mu Yue's only disciple, but the first disciple.
However, when he didn't tell Mu Yue about his birthday, Mu Yue actually gave him such a big surprise.
Mu Yue was busy and had to learn to forge forbearance in order to prepare gifts for him, and even injured his hand in a hurry.
Whether it is the details of the forbearance or the materials added to the forbearance, you can feel Mu Yue's attention to him and his feelings.
At this moment, he somewhat understood the children who begged their parents to buy snacks and toys.
In Mu Yue, Zhishui experienced a feeling that he had never experienced before.
What kind of relationship is that, taking the initiative to solve your doubts when you encounter difficulties, thinking about you everywhere, and giving you the most expected expectations when you are lost......
A slight mist appeared in Shisui's eyes, which was an existence that rarely appeared in him, because he was the strong and brave Uchiha Shisui who wanted to inherit the will of fire.
He put the short blade close to his body, looked at Mu Yue's injured hands, and said:
"Teacher Muyue, thank you for your hard work, I ...... to do so much for me"
Zhishui didn't know what to say anymore, what could he come up with in the face of Mu Yue's attention?
At this time, Mu Yue's hand covered Zhishui's head, and said with a kind smile:
"Zhishui, you have to understand, I am your teacher, you are my disciple, this is enough."
Hearing Mu Yue's words, Zhishui couldn't control it anymore, and he hugged Mu Yue and shed tears of joy.
"Teacher Mu Yue, I will definitely respond to your expectations." The feelings of stopping the water completely exploded.
The three disciples watching from the side also felt a lot.
"What kind of birthday gift will Teacher Muyue give me then?" Obito couldn't help but think.
"Teacher Mu Yue is really a good teacher." Nohara Rin thought to herself.
"What a youthful scene." Maitkai liked and thought.
Seeing the message popping up in the system, Mu Yue's smile became warmer.
