(Sorry, something happened today, so I posted this chapter so late.)
It had been some time since Sasuke left, and everyone had been in a bad mood.
Especially Sakura and Ino. They were just short of writing " I'm in a bad mood. Be careful, I'll beat you up " on their faces. Anyway, everyone would avoid them whenever they saw them. If they couldn't avoid them, they could only pray for their own good.
I'm not in a good mood either. When I'm cultivating, I'm often distracted. If I'm not careful, I'll accidentally hurt others.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ~" I kept apologizing to the beautiful purple-haired sister in front of me. This was already the Nth person today. Fortunately, she was good at fighting, or else it would be troublesome.
"It's okay," she said to me without a care."You have to be careful when you practice next time, little sister, or you'll get hurt easily."”Her tone was very gentle, and for some reason, she gave me a very familiar feeling. Could it be because everyone had purple hair?
"By the way, looking at your forehead protector, you must be Muye's ninja. Can you take me there?”Before I could figure it out, she spoke again. She actually wanted to go to Muye? Was she going to entrust a mission?
" No problem." I agreed without hesitation, probably because she gave me a familiar feeling.
The two figures quickly shuttled through the forest. Her skills were not bad, and her speed was actually not slower than mine. Was she also a ninja? Then why did she come to Muye?
Although I have a lot of questions about her, the strange thing is that the atmosphere between us is not awkward but very harmonious.
She kept asking me all kinds of personal questions, but I couldn't even raise my guard. Instead, I answered her very cooperatively.
Why was this happening? Was it because of the familiarity she gave me or the strange gentleness in her eyes when she looked at me that caused me to be so abnormal?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under my lead, we smoothly passed through the gate and arrived at Naruto's office. To my surprise, the 3rd generation was there as well.
However, what happened next surprised me even more. He actually called that beautiful sister Yumiko. Isn't that my mother's name? Could it be…
"Yumiko? I think you've got the wrong person, Third Generation Lord Naruto.”She was also very surprised to hear this address. It seemed that the third generation had made a mistake.
" I'm sorry," the third-generation successor said awkwardly." But you look too similar to an old friend of mine. I accidentally mistook you for someone else just now."”At this point, the third-generation successor's eyes dimmed. He was probably thinking about the people who had died in that battle.
"There are indeed many people who have said that I resemble Sister Yue. You are not the first to admit that you are wrong.”The elder sister muttered to herself, but the words she said shocked us.
" You mean…" the third-generation successor asked hesitantly.
"I'm really rude. You haven't explained my identity yet. My name is Ye Lingxing, and I'm from the Ye Ling Clan. My sister's name is Ye Lingyue. She should be the Yumiko you guys are talking about.”She bowed elegantly, but the words she said surprised us even more. Is she my relative?
" So, what's your purpose here?" This time, it was Tsunei who asked. The third generation and I had yet to recover from the shock.
"I'm here to bring my sister home. Ye Ling's family is a reclusive family. Due to some special reasons, we haven't had much contact with the outside world.
Fifteen years ago, my sister suddenly ran away from home. The elders felt that they should give her some freedom, so they didn't pursue her. However, twelve years ago, my sister's aura suddenly disappeared. Even I, who was closest to my sister, couldn't sense her condition.
Even though we did go out to search for her, we never had any news of her. It was only a few days ago that I suddenly felt an aura that was extremely similar to my sister's that I found this child. She should be her sister's daughter. She was really a very beautiful little girl. She believed that the elders would be very happy to see her.
By the way, where's my sister and brother-in-law? I hope to see them immediately. If it's the best, can you let me bring them back?”At this point, my sister, who should be my relative, looked excited.
"May I ask what your so-called sensing aura is?”It was Okami who spoke. The third generation and I were still digesting what she said.
"That's a special ability of my clan. People who are especially close to each other can sense each other's situation. Twelve years ago, everyone suddenly felt an aura that was extremely similar to her beside sister. Everyone guessed that it was sister's child. They didn't expect her to suddenly give birth, but they didn't expect that those two auras would suddenly disappear. They could only vaguely sense that it should be fine. So everyone thought that big sister was afraid that she would be punished by the family if she suddenly got married and had children, so she used a special method to cover it up. In fact, she didn't have to do this at all. The elders wouldn't blame her. Now, what everyone wants most is to see our new member immediately. You have to know that our family's fertility has always been very low.”
" What do you think, Xiaoyue?" Tsunami suddenly turned around and asked me. I knew she wanted me to confirm what my sister said.
"What she said should be true. It's exactly the same as what was recorded in mother's scroll. I can also feel that the aura on her body is very familiar, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger. It's a feeling of being connected by blood. It's really amazing.”I closed my eyes and carefully felt that strange feeling before replying. It was really amazing. I finally had a family. Unknowingly, the corners of my eyes had become moist.
"Looks like what you said is true. Welcome, Xiaoyue's aunt. Xiaoyue is a part of Muye, so the entire Muye will welcome you.”After hearing my answer, Tsunei acknowledged the identity of the person in front of him.
"What? I've already told you so many secrets, yet you still doubt me. That's really too much. Forget it, I won't hold it against you. Where's my sister and brother-in-law?”
" Well, I'm sorry. They sacrificed themselves to protect this village," the third-generation successor said slowly, his tone extremely heavy.
" What?" The auntie exclaimed, unable to accept this fact.
Next, the third generation told her everything that had happened. After listening to the story, the entire office fell silent.
"So that's how it is. Sister is really stupid. She actually went to fight in that kind of situation." After a long silence, the auntie finally accepted the news."Although I had already guessed that this might happen, it was still very difficult to accept." She was the most outstanding and closest sister. "She actually left this world just like that. How is that possible?" At this point, the auntie's voice had already become choked.
" Poor child, you've worked hard all these years. You must be very lonely when you're alone." The auntie hugged me and began to cry loudly. Not only did she feel sorry for me, but she was also sad because of the death of her closest sister.
I felt the warmth of a mother as I was held in her arms. Tears fell uncontrollably.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After venting for a long time, we finally stopped. Even the third-generation successor and Okami were also wet with tears.
"I think Miss Xing must be tired today. You should go and rest with Xiao Yue first. I think you must have a lot to talk about. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow.”
I nodded slightly to thank Tsunei for her understanding and brought Aunty home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pulling the auntie out of Naruto's office, the atmosphere between us suddenly became awkward and we didn't know what to say.
Finally, I arrived at home (Uchiha's ancestral home was her home for the current protagonist). I left her in a panic and ran over to cook. It was so awkward. I didn't know what to do.
I kept giggling as I was absent-minded while cooking. My family, I finally have a family. It's my mother's younger sister.
However, reality told me that I really couldn't be distracted when cooking. In the end, I accidentally burned the rice, put too much salt, and put the wrong sugar. In short, nothing I cooked was delicious. 'How embarrassing. When have I ever cooked such a lousy dish? You have to know that my cooking skills are one of the best in Muye.'
Seeing my embarrassment, the auntie smiled." It seems that these things can't be eaten. I'd better invite you to eat outside. I think I saw a good ramen shop just now."”As she spoke, she naturally held my hand, and the atmosphere between us became harmonious again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At night. We slept together on the soft tatami, and we were so familiar with each other that it seemed like we had lived together for many years.
" Auntie, tell me about Mom's childhood. I've always wanted to know her story," I asked lazily as I found a comfortable spot in the auntie's embrace.
" Of course. How should I put it? Sister is a…" She hugged me even tighter and slowly told me about her impression of Sister.
After listening to Auntie, I came to the following conclusion: My mother was a purple-haired beauty who looked similar to me. She could be said to be exactly the same as the current auntie. Her personality could also be said to be exactly the same as mine. She was talented and liked to play pranks. I think everyone knows what it is even if I don't say it. Please don't say it, I won't let the protagonist know)~~
Could it be that I'm actually a pirated version of my mother?
Hearing my conclusion, the auntie burst out laughing."My good Xiaoyue, don't think too much ~~"
Just like that, we talked for the whole night. We talked about auntie, mom, the dad I heard, my childhood, and Sasuke ~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early in the morning, a ray of light slowly shone in. It was already dawn. Time passed really quickly. I pulled Auntie out of bed. We washed and combed a little before I brought her to visit the leaves.
" Look, that's the Fire Shadow Rock, and that's…" I excitedly introduced every scenery. I happily brought Auntie around to visit. Occasionally, when I met acquaintances, I would introduce my relatives to them in an excited tone. This feeling was really good.
After playing for a few days, until Auntie was almost familiar with my friends, I remembered that she seemed to have something to look for the third generation. I pulled her and jogged to Naruto's office.
" Old-hag Tsunete, I'm here with my auntie." I wouldn't stand on ceremony with that hateful old hag. However, what surprised me was that even Kakashi and Sister Jade were here. Didn't they have to go on a mission?
" You're finally here. Your purpose for this trip should be to take Xiaoyue away, right, Miss Hoshi?" Tsuneo asked calmly, not as furious as usual.
" Yes, the main purpose of my visit this time is to bring Xiaoyue back." Without any hesitation, the elder sister confessed her purpose.
"Can you give me a reason? Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you take Xiao Yue away. She's an important part of Mu Ye."
" Okay, I think you all know that Xiaoyue's blood stepmother has awakened, right?" Seeing everyone nod, the auntie continued," That's why I have to bring Xiaoyue back.
The Blood Successor of my clan is one of the most powerful and ancient Blood Successors, so very few people can inherit this power. Even in our clan, in these hundreds of years, only Xiao Yue has successfully awakened the power of the Blood Successor. This was because an ordinary person's body simply could not withstand the powerful strength brought by the Blood Successor. (The reason why Xiaoyue could withstand this power was because she had been transformed by Nine-Tails.)
However, because this power was too powerful, it was often difficult for the heir to control this power. Many times, they would even die from the backlash of the blood successor's power.
I have to bring Xiao Yue back. Only the ancient books of the family have records of how to control this blood inheritance. And according to what I know, the only way to cultivate this blood inheritance is in an ancient formation that has been lost in the family.
So for Xiaoyue's safety, she must come back with me."
After a long silence, Okami spoke first." I understand. When do you plan to leave? Can you stay for a while?"”
"I'm afraid that won't do. We've already dragged this out for long enough. I'm afraid that if we continue to stay here, the Blood Successor's power will start to backfire on her.
Besides, Xiao Yue could still leave after she went back. As long as she cultivated in that ancient array for a period of time, her life would not be in danger. At that time, she could come back at any time. If everything goes smoothly, then all of this will only take three years."
After hearing the auntie's promise, the originally disappointed people finally heaved a sigh of relief. They thought that I would never come back.
I didn't show much surprise because Auntie had told me about these things a few days ago, so I had already made enough preparations. I was just waiting to say goodbye to everyone and then set off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although I said it very casually, saying that you guys would think that I would be back after three years of cultivation like Sasuke, I still felt very sad on the day of our separation. I couldn't help but shed a lot of tears.
Goodbye, everyone. I will be back in three years. I will definitely be back. Muye will always be my home, and you will always be my family. Goodbye.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, Xiaoyue had finally left. After writing a few more chapters about Sasuke and Xiaoyue's story in the past two years, it was time for the content of Tempest.
In the next chapter, I will introduce Xiao Yue's two families.
