In the main hall of the Witch Palace, the current Witch Maitreya heard from the guard that an old friend had come to visit. She couldn't remember who it was for a moment. When the guard handed her Qin Xu's photo, Maitreya's eyes immediately widened and his pupils constricted."Who is it?" Maitreya asked anxiously.
"A little boy around ten years old and a little girl around seven or eight years old.”
"Around ten years old? So small?"
"Yes, they seem to already know Princess Ziyuan.”
"Is that so? Bring me to take a look." Maitreya stood up from his seat. The guard bowed respectfully and turned to lead the way. The two of them came to the door. Maitreya saw Qin Xu and Bai, but he didn't feel like he knew them. "Do I know you?"
"No, but I think you should know the person in the photo.”Qin Xu said.
"What's the relationship between you and this person?”
"Kanna Uzumaki is my mother."
" You're Kenai's son?!!"
"Yes."
"Is that so? Is Kenai okay? I haven't seen her for many years. I heard that she went to Muye Village. I didn't expect her to get married so early. How has she been recently?"
"My mother passed away many years ago.”Qin Xu said lightly. Maitreya was shocked,""How could this be? Kina's body is so healthy, how could she…"
"Five years ago, the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked Woodleaf Village on the day my brother was born. His father, as Naruto, had sealed Nine-Tails at the cost of his life. Under the influence of Nine-Tails, her mother committed suicide after giving birth to her younger brother under difficult circumstances and left with her father.”Qin Xu didn't show anything inappropriate when he said this, but anyone could feel the sorrowful aura from Qin Xu. "Is that so? Then, how did you come here? Did Kenai entrust you with this task?”When Maitreya heard the news of Kena's death, he could not help but shed tears. "No, when I was sorting out my mother's belongings, I accidentally found this photo. After my parents passed away, I left Muye to cultivate. I'm only here to find out about your relationship with Mother.”
"Yes, I understand. Come in." Maitreya said as he carried Ziyuan, turned around, and led Qin Xu and Bai into the palace. "By the way, this child is…?”Maitreya looked at Bai. Qin Xu was stunned." Sorry, I forgot to introduce you." My name is Qin Xu, Wave Wind Qin Xu. She is Water Without Moon White, a companion I found during my travels.”White bowed to Maitreya, Maitreya smiled. When they arrived at the main hall, Maitreya put Zi Yuan down. Zi Yuan ran to Qin Xu and Bai's side, shouting for them to play with her. Qin Xu smiled helplessly and looked at Bai for help. Bai immediately understood and pulled Ziyuan out. Maitreya watched the two of them walk out. "Since you've come to Witch Village, it means that you have a certain understanding of me, right?”
"That's right. I know about the Moryo and your abilities. Also, because only witches can seal the Moryo, other countries in the world have made a treaty that forbids them from using troops against the Country of Ghosts in order to protect witches. But what I'm really interested in is what happened between you and my mother.”
" Kenai was my best friend in the past. After the fall of the Whirlpool Nation, I never saw her again. Later, I heard that she went to the Woodleaf Village, and I took over the position of a witch, so I never had the chance to look for her.”
"Can you be more detailed?"
" I can't finish explaining the details in a few words. I've already asked someone to arrange a place for you to stay. Stay here for a while. It'll be my way of explaining to Kenai.”
"Alright, sorry to bother you." Just like that, Qin Xu stayed there without being polite. There was still some time before the appearance of the Wangliang, and Maitreya did not have much to do, so Maitreya told Qin Xu about his past with Kenai in detail. After listening to Maitreya's story every day, Qin Xu would practice in the forest near the palace. When the surrounding guards saw Qin Xu's strength, they only had one expression, which was to open their mouths and stare with their eyes wide open. They were so shocked that they could not speak or walk. For the rest of the time, Qin Xu and Bai couldn't stand Ziyuan, this playful child, so they could only play with her. Maitreya was also very happy to see Ziyuan like Qin Xu so much. When Maitreya found out that Qin Xu was Kanai's child, Maitreya had the idea of marrying Ziyuan to Qin Xu when Ziyuan grew up. However, Qin Xu was six years older than Zi Yuan, and Maitreya could tell that Qin Xu's attitude towards Bai was not ordinary. Ninjas would not like this kind of marriage, so Maitreya did not intend to force it. Everything was up to fate. Of course, her daughter marrying Kenai's son was what she wanted to see the most.
A month later, Qin Xu planned to leave and bid farewell to Maitreya. Maitreya knew that Qin Xu's personality was very similar to Kina's, and he would not change his mind. Therefore, she didn't ask them to stay. She only asked everyone to leave the main hall, leaving Qin Xu alone. "What's the matter?" Qin Xu saw Maitreya's actions and felt a little strange. "About Zi Yuan…"
"What's wrong? Ziyuan is a good child."
"Yes, I know. However, since you already know about the Wangliang, I won't hide it from you. Recently, I've felt that the power of the Wangliang is getting stronger and stronger. The way we witches seal the Wangliang is actually to fuse with the Wangliang and suppress its power.”
"In other words…?"
"I don't have much time left. Therefore, I want to entrust Zi Yuan to you after I die.”
" What do you mean?!!" Qin Xu was a little dumbfounded." I'm asking for your help." Maitreya wasn't Liu Bei, and he wasn't Zhuge Liang. It was better not to let such a thing happen to him. Maitreya glanced at Qin Xu." I've seen your power. I hope that you can take care of Ziyuan when she's in danger after I die." You're Kanai's child. I trust you.”
"It seems that your relationship with my mother is really extraordinary. However, I agreed. If anything happens, I will help her.”
"Thank you."
"It's nothing. It's what I should do." With that, Qin Xu turned around and walked out of the witch's palace. Maitreya suddenly stopped Qin Xu. He took out a jade pendant." Your mother gave this to me when I was with her. I'm handing it to you now."”Qin Xu took the jade pendant and put it around his neck. The jade pendant was engraved with the image of the Swirl Race. "Back then, Kenai told me that in the Whirlpool Clan, women would give it to their best sisters. The man, on the other hand, would use it as a token of love and give it to the girl he liked. According to tradition, you have to personally wear this jade pendant on the girl you like, remember?”
Qin Xu was speechless when he heard Maitreya's words.""So there's such a thing. I know. Then, we'll take our leave." After Qin Xu finished speaking, he patted Ziyuan's head and left Witch Village with Bai. Along the way, Qin Xu looked at the jade pendant around his neck. The warm jade felt good in his hand, but the effect of this jade made Qin Xu feel a little uncomfortable. A love token was absolutely unnecessary for Qin Xu, who had no romantic feelings at all. Compared to romantic love, Qin Xu preferred to live at home. Therefore, Qin Xu would probably never remember to act romantic in front of the girl he liked, not to mention that this kind of thing did not exist in Qin Xu's life at all.
Bai looked at Qin Xu with tenderness in her eyes. She seemed to have a vague feeling that she hoped Qin Xu would give her that jade pendant. However, when Bai realized this thought, she immediately blushed and chased it away. He was Qin Xu's tool, his weapon and shield. His mission was to help Qin Xu under any circumstances. Tools couldn't have such thoughts. Bai immediately chased away the thought when he felt that he wasn't qualified. However, when he saw Qin Xu, Bai's thoughts would involuntarily turn in that direction, causing Bai to feel troubled. Qin Xu walked in front and did not see Bai's expression. If he had seen it, he would have put the jade pendant on Bai without hesitation. Bai had always been his wife, but he would never have thought of something like Qin Xu. Even if this thing was in his hands now, he would not have thought of giving it to Bai. Bai did not know what Qin Xu was thinking. The two of them were slow in guessing other people's feelings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two of them walked and stopped for half a year. The two of them traveled around the Five Great Countries. When they had no money to spend, they would go to the Reckless Heart to take some small missions that were reasonably priced to train themselves and increase their combat experience. In the past six months, Qin Xu would ask Bai to fight first in every battle. Because Qin Xu knew that although Bai followed him, his fate had changed for the better, but the chances of training had decreased by a lot. Therefore, whenever Qin Xu fought, he would try his best to let Bai fight alone. He would take care of him from the side. When Bai was almost done training, Qin Xu would kill the enemy. Although he wanted to train Bai's combat strength, Qin Xu did not intend to change Bai's kind nature of not wanting to kill, so the two of them never acted separately. Moreover, Qin Xu did not intend to separate from Bai. Even if he returned to Muye in the future, Qin Xu would never let Bai do missions alone. Unless the enemy posed no threat to Bai at all, even if Bai was completely unprepared, the sneak attack would not succeed. Qin Xu did not need to attack such an enemy.
In half a year, Qin Xu had gained a certain reputation in the Ninja Realm. The White-Robed Asura was the nickname given to him by the Ninja Realm. Qin Xu's pure white haori gave him this nickname. However, Qin Xu had to admit that the art of monikers in the Naruto World was really outrageous. It could not be separated from the surrounding colors.
Qin Xu and Bai circled the world and returned to the forest at the border of the Country of Fire where they had lived for three years. Looking at the familiar scenery around them, Qin Xu relaxed. He picked Bai up with both hands and spun him around in the air. Bai's face was flushed red by Qin Xu's sudden action. Qin Xu looked at Bai and couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was Bai or Hatata. However, the two of them had many similarities. Both of them were shy girls, so it was not strange for them to see this scene.
As the sun set, the two of them came to the small nest they had lived in half a year ago. They sat on the ground. Qin Xu held White in his arms and draped his haori over White. After all, it was winter now, and it was very cold at night. Bai curled up obediently in Qin Xu's arms and slowly fell asleep. Every time Bai slept in Qin Xu's arms, he always fell asleep very quickly. Maybe it was because Qin Xu gave her a sense of security, or maybe it was because Qin Xu was very comfortable to lean on alone. Anyway, as long as he leaned on Qin Xu every time he slept, the speed at which he fell asleep would definitely be amazing. Qin Xu leaned against the tree and hugged Bai tightly, afraid that something would happen to Bai in the middle of the night. Recently, the weather had turned cold, and the two of them had been sleeping in this position for nearly two months.
Early the next morning, the sound of metal clashing woke Qin Xu and Bai up. The two of them curiously walked in the direction of the sound. He had thought that he would see a ninja fighting a bandit. After all, it was rare to see a fight between ninjas in such a place. However, Qin Xu did not expect to see such a huge battle this time. Muye's ninjas were fighting. And to Qin Xu, there were acquaintances among them. The green sprout that called his father brother, Yuan Fei Shinnosuke, and Kakashi's companion, Tian Shanlin. Qin Xu was stunned." Why are these two people fighting here?”Qin Xu looked at the others carefully and was surprised to find that both sides were fighting with Leaf Ninjas." What's going on? Internal strife?" Qin Xu took a closer look and immediately understood the reason. Lü Miao and Lin were on one side, while the other side had 20 people running the Dark Group. Moreover, from the way they fought, it was obvious that they were the subordinates of the group trove.
"I see. I've been thinking about it all this while. Lü Miao is the last member of the Eight Colored Legends. He doesn't even have nine tails. Lü Miao was the son of Naruto and the number one Jounin in Koba. If it was done by a ninja, it would definitely cause a war. However, there was no introduction in the anime. It turned out that Lü Miao had died at the hands of his own people. It was not difficult to explain why Kigaha Maru did not have a father. So it was that old bastard from the group. Hmph, but now that I'm here, Tuan Zang, you can just wait to die.”
