"Uncle Zixiao…" Hippo Hanyu put down the fruit basket and called out to Mitarai Zixiao, who was wrapped up like a mummy. To outsiders, his expression was very serious and a little worried, but little did they know that he was already laughing in his heart."Tian Shanzhen is too artistic. Is this still the Dark Group Leader Mu Ye who usually looks so cool?”
Mitarai Zixiao grinned. It was unknown whether she was in pain or laughing." Hanyu! How about it? Are you confident of passing this year's graduation exam?”It could be seen that he was really concerned about the future of Hippo Hanyu.
The hippo Hanyu scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. Although he was pretending, he still felt a little guilty in front of his elders who cared about him."I've already applied to repeat a year ago, so I'll only take the graduation exam next year.”
"Oh!" Mitarai Zixiao responded, looking at the hippo Hanyu with a strange expression.
"Uncle." A light and crisp voice sounded at the door. Then, a very clever little girl came in with a string of meatballs in her hand.
"Red Bean, why are you here?" Mitarai Zixiao's expression became much gentler, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
"I'm here to see you, uncle! I heard that the person who performed the surgery for uncle is Zheng Taijun, who is known as the Muye Gray Wolf. Can you introduce him to me?”Red Bean quickly revealed her true purpose. When she mentioned the name of Shota, her face was full of admiration, which made Mitarai Shiroyuki a little jealous.
"Yay! What are you doing here?”Red Bean, who had finally noticed Hippo Hanyu, glared at him with an unfriendly expression.
"Ugh!" The hippo Hanyu was choked by the little girl's words. He rubbed his chin and teased Red Bean,""Are you talking to me? Unfortunately, I don't know you."
"Tsk-" Red Bean said disdainfully,""Who wants you to know him? He's a bad student, ranked last in ten thousand years.”
"Little girl, don't expose others 'shortcomings in front of a dwarf. Besides, I'm the last one because I'm thinking about you idiots. I don't want you to be too outstanding and find a place to commit suicide because of the pressure.”These words were absolutely vicious. The hippo Han Yu was intentionally trying to anger Red Bean, but by doing this in front of Mitarai Washing Red Bean, did it mean that he had some other plans?
" You…" Red Bean's face was red from holding it in, and her eyes were filled with humiliation and anger." Idiot, idiot. You're clearly the useless one, yet you're still bragging here. Everyone in the school knows that you're the last place."”
"That's because they don't have good taste."
"If you have the ability, then do it for everyone to see. Prove that you are a genius. Do you think you are Kakashi?”
"Oh…" Hearing this, the hippo Hanyu became a little interested."So what if I prove it?”
"If you can graduate with the first place in next year's graduation exam, I'll admit that you're a genius.”Red Bean didn't see the smirk on Hanyu's face, nor did she see the hint in Mitarai's eyes.
"Why should I prove to you that geniuses don't care about what others think, unless-"
"Unless what?" After all, Red Bean was only a five-year-old little girl. She had already fallen into the hippo Hanyu's trap without knowing it.
"If I prove that I am a genius, you will acknowledge me as your master and listen to my orders.”The Hippo Hanyu's wolf tail was revealed.
"Good! I don't believe that you're a genius." Red Bean said angrily.
"Hehe…" The hippo Hanyu turned around and glanced at Mitarai Saki, saying,""Uncle Zixiao, you want to be a witness!”
"Red Bean." Zi Xiao's brows furrowed slightly."Didn't you want to see what the Lord Zheng Tai looks like? Go find Uncle Tian Shan and let him take you there!”
"Alright!"
After sending Red Bean away, Zi Xiao's gaze became much sharper. She looked at the hippo Han Yu as if she was waiting for an explanation.
"Uncle Sunset Guard, shouldn't you come out?”The hippo called out to a corner of the room.
Following his cry, a figure slowly appeared. A 1.78-meter tall young man with striking red hair stood beside Mitarai Saki's bed. His hands were casually placed in his pockets as he looked at Hippo Hanyu with interest.
"Long time no see, Hanyu. You've grown quite a bit, haven't you?”The young man smiled and said,"How did you know it was me?"”
"That was an illusion you set up on the road just now, right? I wanted to slack off for a few more years and stay in school for a while, but since you found out, I have nothing to hide.”the hippo Han Yu said frankly.
"Zixiao, it seems like you're right. Long's son really isn't simple.”
"Yay! In that case, you were deliberately testing me just now.”Hippo Hanyu had thought that he had accidentally barged into the Sunset Guard's illusion and exposed himself. He did not expect things to be so simple.
"Zi Xiao said that you are a very interesting kid, so I want to confirm it.”
Hanyu the hippo was speechless. Although his father, Takashi the hippo, was not an illustrious ninja, he was very good friends with Mitarai Saki and Sunset Guard, so he was not worried that the two of them had any ill intentions.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Mitarai Zixiao did not intend to let him off so easily.
"Say what? Since you've been paying attention to me for so long, you should know what you need to know.”Hippo Hanyu didn't plan to tell them everything. After all, he wasn't sure what they knew. He didn't want to sell himself out.
"You learned your ninjutsu from Shuo Mao, right? Then you should be very familiar with Lord Zheng Tai?”Mitarai Zixiao probed.
" Of course, Brother Zheng Tai often goes to Uncle's house for dinner. He's a very nice person and often teaches me ninjutsu." When the hippo Hanyu mentioned Zheng Tai's name, his face was full of admiration. It had to be said that his acting skills had improved a lot. It was really unbelievable!
"Then do you know where Zheng Taijun is from?”
The hippo Hanyu sneered in his heart. It wasn't that easy to get information about him."Brother Zheng Tai didn't mention it, but I heard from uncle that Brother Zheng Tai was an orphan he saved during a mission. Because he saw Brother Zheng Tai's talent, he took him in as his disciple. Is there a problem with Brother Zheng Tai? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time. Ever since Brother Zheng Tai was admitted to the hospital, he rarely returned to Uncle's house. I came to the hospital to look for him a few times, but I didn't see him.”
What Hippo Hanyu said was true. Back then, some of the elders seemed to have some doubts about Yoshino Shota's identity and sent people from the Dark Group to monitor Yoshino Shota. Originally, with his strength, it would be easy for him to get rid of these people from the Dark Group. However, in order not to intensify the conflict and make things difficult for Qimu Shuomo, Hippo Hanyu also arranged for the main body and the clone to meet and get to know each other. This eliminated some unnecessary doubts and also laid a foreshadowing for his future rise as Hippo Hanyu. It seemed that his previous actions had come in handy today. The meticulous thinking of the hippo Hanyu was trained in the business world back then.
There was a knock on the door, and Yoshino Shota, who was dressed as a doctor, walked in. When he saw Sunset Guard and Han Yu, he was a little surprised. He nodded at Sunset Guard, and no expression could be seen on his serious face."Lord Zixiao, your injuries have not recovered yet. You need to rest more. Don't say too much. Everyone, go back early."
After a routine check-up on Mitarai Saki's recovery, everything was fine. Red Bean followed closely behind Yoshino Shota, looking very infatuated. It was a stark contrast to her lively and willful self just now.
"Brother Zheng Tai, I made a bet with this little girl just now. If I graduate first next year, she will acknowledge me as her master and become my follower.”The hippo Hanyu said excitedly to Yoshino Shota, like a child showing off in front of his brother.
"You finally want to graduate! The teacher would definitely be very happy to hear this. He heard that Kakashi had registered for the graduation examination a few days ago and even injured a classmate. It seemed that he was the son of Canglan Plains. His name was Mike, right? You didn't instigate him to do this, did you? Be careful that your uncle finds out."
"How is that possible? Brother Zheng Tai, it has nothing to do with me. Although I did provoke him a little, he wanted to prove himself to uncle.”The hippo Han Yu looked as if he was afraid of his uncle, and he acted out a double act with his shadow clone.
"Lord Zi Xiao is recovering quite well. If it's fast, she can be discharged in 20 days.”Yoshino Shota wasn't very familiar with Sunset Eimen. Besides, apart from having more contact with a few people, he had always been very cold to outsiders. There was a sense of distance in his coldness.
"Then I'll leave first." Yoshino Shota waved his hand at the hippo Hanyu, signaling him to follow him. Just as he was about to leave, Yoshino Shota suddenly stopped."Little Red Bean, be careful! If you don't want to call him Teacher Hanyu, you'd better work harder and not let him lose.”Shota Yoshino couldn't help but kindly remind Little Red Bean.
"What do you think?" Although Yoshino Shota reminded Sunset Guard to leave early, he did not leave immediately.
"According to Han Yu's usual performance, his illusion and physical techniques are not bad. Are you interested in taking him as your disciple?”Mitarai Zixiao said.
"Yes! It's not a bad idea, but I think it's better for you to be his teacher. After all, your strength is much stronger than mine. Of course, that's excluding illusions.”The two delinquent uncles had already treated the hippo Han Yu as their own property and began to discuss his future fate.
" Sunset Eimen, the father of my classmate Red, is known as the Red Sunset of Koba. He is one of the best illusionists in Koba's history. It is said that his illusions can't even be reflected by the kaleidoscope. He can also cover a certain area with illusions and set up traps for the enemy. Only White Tooth has ever broken his illusions.”Information about the red sunset appeared in the hippo Hanyu's mind, and his eyes were solemn.
Hippo Hanyu pressed his finger on his temple and thought about his shadow clone. He changed his mind and said,""Be careful. They seem to be suspicious of your identity and were testing me just now.”
