Under Muye's active defense, Yun Ren's surprise attack ended in failure. The once great clan, the Divine Crane Clan, became a historical name. Steel Hand led his team back to Muye, which greatly increased the confidence of the Muye villagers. After a short period of sadness, they returned to their normal lives.
"Are you feeling better?”Steel Hands and the hippo Han Yu were strolling in the forest. Han Yu was still wearing the patient uniform of Muye Hospital.
"Sister Steel Hands, don't worry. Other than the fact that I can't use chakras, there are no other problems. If it wasn't for Uncle Zilai making a fuss, I wouldn't have to stay in the hospital for so long.”The hippo Hanyu complained. After meeting that strange young man in that strange place, the hippo Hanyu had been exhausted. At first, he thought that it was only a temporary phenomenon, but later on, he discovered that he was completely unable to mobilize the chakra in his body.
Hippo Hanyu's abnormal behavior made him very worried. Under his instigation, Hippo Tomoko forced Hippo Hanyu to come to the hospital for observation.
"What, you don't like hospitals that much?”The steel hand gently knocked on his head and asked with a smile.
"If I can see Sister Steel Hands every day, I'm willing to stay in the hospital for the rest of my life.”The hippo Hanyu patted his horse. Although it was a little exaggerated, it at least expressed part of his inner thoughts.
"Little fellow, you really didn't learn well from following me.”Steel Hands scolded with a smile. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was not angry. In fact, she was a little happy. Zilai, who was in the third-generation successor's office, sneezed three times in a row, feeling a little dizzy.
"How could that be? At least I wouldn't follow Uncle Selaiya into those strange bars, and I wouldn't go to some hot spring hotel to collect materials.”The hippo Han Yu boasted shamelessly, as if he had forgotten the glorious deeds of watching A porno with his gang.
Steel Hand had heard Zi Xiao mention his great dream. He smiled and did not expose her. The two of them walked one after the other. If it wasn't for the fact that the hippo Hanyu was too young, they would really look like a couple. But now, they were more like siblings.
Feeling the rare peace in this war-torn era, the two of them did not speak, each thinking about their own matters.
Hippo Hanyu looked at Steel Hands 'tired back from behind, full of love. He had to bear the responsibility of having great ability, especially the famous ninja " Three Ninjas ". He was one of the few iconic figures in Muye who could take out his hand to intimidate other ninja villages. Because of this, Mu Ye basically used Sanren as a tool and had no time to rest.
He didn't know if it was because he was too sensitive, but this time, Steel Hands seemed to have a lot on his mind. It was rare to see a smile on her face. He heard that whenever she was free, she would go to the casino to gamble. She had always lost more than she won, but she was still the same.
The hippo Hanyu understood what the steel hands were doing. A woman had to bear so much pressure and act as if nothing had happened in front of others. One could imagine the depression in her heart. The atmosphere in the casino could allow her to vent the most. It had nothing to do with her hobbies or interests.
It was not easy to survive in this era. When others looked at the glamorous steel hands, who would understand the bitterness behind them? When reading the original novel, Naruto seemed to be very pitiful and lonely, but compared to the steel hands, his feelings were nothing. Speaking of which, Steel Hand and Naruto were actually the same type of people. They looked strong on the outside, but their hearts were tougher (they always endured it silently), and their emotions were impulsive and persistent (whether others agreed or not, Hippo Hanyu indeed thought so).
As he had been unable to extract the chakra for the past few days, the hippo Hanyu's heart was also heavy. To him, concealing his strength was one thing, or at least, that was the humility of an expert. However, if he really did not have the strength, that was another matter. It was something that the current him absolutely could not tolerate.
He was also full of worries. Although he really wanted to comfort the steel hand, the words were about to reach his mouth, but he swallowed them back. At this moment, he felt fear.
"What's wrong?" Steel Hands rarely saw Hippo Hanyu so silent. All this while, Hippo Hanyu had always acted like a sly, quick-witted, and active boy in front of her. The silent Hippo Hanyu actually gave her a familiar feeling. He was very similar to someone.
"I'm fine!" The hippo Han Yu took a deep breath and said in a half-serious and half-joking tone,""I'm just a little worried that Chakra won't be able to recover.”
"That's fine! As long as I'm here, I'll protect you.”Steel Hands couldn't help but blurt it out. However, she regretted it the moment she said it, worried that it would hurt Hippo Hanyu's self-esteem.
The hippo Han Yu was stunned. What familiar words! He remembered that when Yoshino Shouta defected, Steel Hand had said the same thing. He could still clearly remember his answer: "I'm not someone who needs a woman's protection to live. The world outside is very big, and it's more suitable for a prodigal like me.”
"If one day I need a woman's protection to survive, then I'd rather die.”The hippo Hanyu slowly said," Sister Steel Hands, when I grow up, will you marry me? I will protect you with my life, I promise.”
Steel Hands stopped in his tracks and looked up at the leaves. He did not answer Hanyu's question.
The hippo Han Yu also stopped and looked at the back of the steel hand, waiting for her reply, even if it was just a joke.
The sound of leaves falling could be heard, and the heart of the hippo Han Yu slowly turned cold. Sure enough, his worries in the past were not without reason.
"Sister Steel Hands, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest.”The hippo Han Yu took the initiative to break the silence.
Steel Hands seemed to be relieved as he said,""Then I'll send you back! You have to rest well. Don't let your imagination run wild. You will definitely recover. I believe that you can create miracles.”
"I can create miracles." Hippo Hanyu muttered in his heart. This sentence was like a curse, making Hippo Hanyu feel much better." Yes, I can create miracles because my appearance in this world is a miracle in itself.”
"Steel Hands, the third generation is looking for you." Zi Xiao walked out of the hospital.
"Yes!" Steel Hands nodded and patted the hippo Hanyu's head.""Hanyu, I'll be leaving first. Remember to rest well. I'll come and see you tomorrow.”
"Aren't you going to tell her?" Zi Xiao asked as she watched the steel hands leave.
"Say what?" The hippo Hanyu obviously knew what the Mitarai Purple Clouds meant, so he pretended to be confused.
"Are you really unable to extract chakras?”Zi Xiao took the initiative to change the topic.
"Tsk! Aren't you guys being too suspicious? Since you already know my identity, is there a need for me to do this at this time?”The hippo Han Yu mocked.
"Hehe, don't be angry! We're just concerned about you." Zi Xiao explained, but she did not mean it. She thought to herself, If you have a bad record, don't blame others for suspecting you.
"Why did the third-generation successor look for the steel hands?”
"What else could it be?" Zi Xiao's gaze drifted towards Yan Yan and said,""The third generation and the elder council unanimously agreed to form an alliance with the village, so they arranged for Steel Hands to go to the border to discuss the specific matters of the alliance with the village representatives.”
"Where is Selai?" The hippo Hanyu was a little dissatisfied with the third-generation successor's unkindness.
"Zilai Ye, didn't he come to say goodbye to you?”Zi Xiao was surprised." He set off for the northern border early this morning to prevent Yun Ren from attacking again.”
Hippo Hanyu remembered that he had been with Steel Hands since the beginning of the morning. He probably did not disturb them since he saw them.
"Then why is Teacher looking for me?”The hippo Han Yu pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed it gently.
"I'm just here to remind you that you haven't had the chance to meet the few members of the Black Operation that I gave you last time.”
"I know. I'll look for them in two days.”As expected, they wouldn't even let a cripple like him off.
Dividing Line-----------------------------------
"Lord Han Yu, why are you here?”The hippo Hanyu was sitting in front of Muye's Monument to Heroes. When he heard the almost inaudible cries behind him, he turned his head.
"It's you!" The hippo Han Yu saw the oily girl Cheng Zhi standing behind him and felt a little strange. Wasn't this girl shy? Why did she take the initiative to talk to him? "You're here to see your grandfather again?" he asked with a smile.”
"Yes!"
"Don't just stand there. There's no one else here. Let's sit!”The hippo Han Yu patted the stairs beside him.
Cheng Zhi declined for a long time, but in the end, she still sat beside the hippo Han Yu.
"Time flies! It felt like yesterday when she slept in school.”Hippo Hanyu sighed. Today was the anniversary of his father, Hippo Long's death, so it was rare for him to have the time to come here to take a look. Seeing more and more familiar names on the monument, he could not help but sigh at the impermanence of life.
"Hmm?"
"Living in this world is really helpless. You can't get what you want, you don't cherish what you get, and you regret it when you lose it, but it's too late to regret it.”
"Eh?" Cheng Zhi couldn't understand what the hippo Han Yu was saying.
"Sometimes, there are some things that you shouldn't do, but you do them. There are some things that you should do, but you avoid them.”The hippo Hanyu expressed his feelings.
The two of them sat together, one talking and the other listening. The speaker didn't know what he wanted to say, so he just kept talking. Where are the people listening? She was also confused and baffled, but she tried her best to listen carefully.
The two of them sat there until sunset. In the end, they didn't know when they returned.
Time passed quietly, and the year 46 of Muye arrived with the bell of the Temple of Fire.
