"Hu ~ Hu ~~"
Hurried footsteps and…
Heavy breathing…
"Hua-Father!" Holding the door open with one hand, Qimu Liuli panted heavily as she looked at Qimu Shuogao, who was sitting in the middle of the room.
As expected, he ended up in this room. Thinking of this, Qimu Liuli looked at the candlesticks around her. The dim light seemed to accentuate the darkness of the room. In front of Qimu Shuomo, the square table was still there, with two openings neatly arranged on it. All of this made Qimu Liuli feel as if she had returned to the night when she pulled out Hanguang.
"A ninja must have a calm mind and a rational heart.”Hatake Shuomao didn't turn his head, he was just criticizing Hatake Ruri's panic. "Azurite…come in front of me."
"Yes." Taking a few deep breaths, Qimu Liuli slowly walked to the table opposite Qimu Shuomei and sat down.
"How far has your cultivation progressed?”After a moment of silence, Qimu Shuomao asked.
"Father, I have already started practicing the wind attribute change of the chakra. I haven't thought of the training method for the lightning attribute and the earth attribute chakra attribute change.”Ruri gradually calmed down and gathered all her thoughts once again. She decided to use the excuse of seeking guidance on cultivation to at least delay her father until Kakashi returned.
" En…" After hearing Qimu Liuli's words, Qimu Shuomao nodded in satisfaction. He paused for a moment as if he was organizing his words."As expected of a member of the Qimu clan."
Azurite was confused. Until now, she did not feel that her father was any different from usual. It was as if everything she heard outside was an illusion.
"Chakra's lightning attribute and earth attribute transformation training method is recorded in detail in the scroll in my room. With your aptitude, there shouldn't be any problem.”
"But I think that if Father personally guides me, I will improve even faster!”In a moment of desperation, for the first time in her life, Qimu Liuli interrupted her father.
"Impolite!" Qimu Shuo Mao coldly snorted.
" Please forgive me…" Qimu Liuli lowered her head and apologized, but she immediately made up her mind and continued,"
"Father! Liuli has something to ask you…"
"Retreat…"
"But…"
"Back off!" There was no room for doubt.
"…Yes." Gritting her teeth and pursing her lips, Azurite lowered her head and bid farewell to Hatake Shuomao.
" No matter what, I really can't believe that such a father would choose to commit suicide in such a humiliating manner to end his legend…" On the way back to his courtyard, Qimu Liuli felt as if every step she took was dripping in mud. It was extremely heavy. The days and nights of the past five years flashed past his eyes like a painting. He did not have a mother since he was young, and he thought that his adult soul would not care about such things. However, the image of a stern father, even though he usually made people feel restrained, they could not forget the care and love he inadvertently showed in his life. The way a father loved someone was often felt when they were about to lose them. After feeling it, they realized that this kind of love was engraved even deeper in their bones.
"I've already said this much. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to change Father's decision. Everything will be the same as before. I can only see what Father's decision is. No one can change his will. The father in my impression definitely doesn't have the word 'give up' in the dictionary. Even if everyone in the world betrayed him, he would still accept the wounds on his body expressionlessly. Then, he would use his fangs to tear apart all the enemies who stood in his way. Father, you're really a…"

"Have you noticed it?" At this moment, Qimu Shuomao was still sitting in front of the square table, his eyes half-closed. The 'Whitetooth Woodleaf' who could control his emotions at any time and was a cold-blooded killer who could even kill women and children without mercy found that his memories of the past years were surfacing in his mind bit by bit.
His father had trained him strictly when he was young…
After becoming a ninja, in order to become stronger and protect his ninja path, he had to kill one after another...
He had met his nemesis, Moonlight Dance…
He watched as lives dissipated in front of him, friends, lovers…
Watching his son and daughter step by step towards becoming strong…
No matter how brilliant it was, it would eventually return to nothingness…
His son, Hatake Kakashi, was already a well-known young ninja. He graduated at the age of five and was a Chuunin at the age of six. He also had a tenacious personality and a firm heart.
As for his daughter, Azurite Hatake, perhaps she was only famous in school in the village, but he knew that Azurite's excellence was even above Kakashi's. Ever since Azurite was three years old, there was no longer any confusion in her eyes…She clearly knew her goal and would never waste any time. When completing missions, she would fully consider the rational use of efficiency and maximize the benefits.
"Liuli…you will be a…"
———————————————————————————————
" You're…a proud ninja…"
……
" You will become…an incomparably outstanding ninja…"
……

Kakashi still hadn't returned…
The day of Ruri's graduation was getting closer and closer…
Also…the criticism of White Fang in the village was getting more and more intense…
"Zi ~ la ~~~ Zi la ~~"
In the practice field of the Qimu family, Qimu Liuli's eyes were tightly shut. She was holding Hanguang with both hands, and her forehead was covered in sweat. From time to time, sizzling sounds could be heard from the black sword of Hanguang, and occasionally, a few faint electric currents could be seen.
After a while, Azurite stopped and looked at Hanguang in her hand with dissatisfaction.
"Still unable to perform the Chakra's lightning attribute transformation on the blade? I've been too restless during this period of time…and that bastard Kakashi! If you don't come back, I'll teach you a lesson!”Furious, Azurite Qimu swung Hanguang directly in front of her, cutting through the limestone bricks under her feet like tofu.
"Azurite." Just as Qimu Liuli was about to go berserk, a deep voice came from the door.
" Father…" Qimu Liuli's response wasn't serious. After all, as the voices of doubt outside grew louder, Qimu Liuli became more and more afraid of losing her father…It was as if beheading was far more comfortable than being dismembered.
"Follow me." There was no unnecessary nonsense, nor did he point out the disrespect in Qimu Liuli's attitude. Qimu Shuogao did not stop and turned around to leave, as if he was just asking someone to eat.
Qimu Liuli didn't dare to pretend that she didn't hear him. She pulled out Hanguang from the ground and wrapped it tightly with a black cloth when she reached the door. She took a deep breath after carrying Hanguang. She felt that her father's visit this time had something to do with what she was concerned about…
Following behind Qimu Shuomao, Qimu Liuli didn't say anything. When she saw that Qimu Shuomao had actually walked out of the house and into the village, Qimu Liuli felt a little unnatural...
As the number one ninja village, Kinoha Village was quite prosperous. There were all kinds of shops along the roadside in the village. Some of the owners of these shops were civilians in the village, some were retired ninjas or their families. There was no shortage of supplies. The Nara family's medicinal herb shop, the Yamanaka family's flower shop, the ninja tool shop, and the barbecue shop. The village lived in a peaceful atmosphere. However, with the appearance of the father and daughter, their iconic silver hair was accompanied by white teeth!”The villagers intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from the father and daughter.
However, as more and more villagers gathered around, their evasive gazes became more and more unrestrained. The surrounding people could no longer suppress the voices of their discussions...
Looking at his father, Hatake Shuo Mao's face was calm. Every step he took was the same distance, the same frequency. This was White Tooth, his heart as hard as steel...
Perhaps it was because of her father's influence, but Qimu Liuli gradually calmed down. She took small steps and followed behind Qimu Shuomao.
Abruptly, she noticed that Hatake Shuohei had stopped in his tracks. Hatake Ruri immediately stopped and saw a ninja standing not far away. He had black hair, black eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His body seemed to be injured. His left arm was wrapped tightly in bandages and hung in front of his chest. His right leg was also injured, and he had a walking stick under his armpit.
He didn't stay for long. He looked at the father and daughter with disgust in his eyes and walked past them.
" I don't need your help. A ninja would not refuse even if he had to sacrifice his life for the mission. Hatake Shuohei, you've disgraced the village…You're not worthy of being Kiba's ninja…"
As he passed by Qimu Shuomao, he spoke calmly, but his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
" Bastard…" Qimu Liuli felt her blood surge! This was the companion that his father had saved during his mission! Perhaps for the other villagers, their misunderstanding of Qimu Liuli could be forgiven. After all, the bystanders 'thoughts were always one-sided. However, this person whose father had given up the mission to save him, Qimu Liuli, even in her dreams, wanted to chop him into pieces! Especially after seeing the other party's beard.
"Pa ~" Ruri's right hand had already touched the hilt of Kagami on her back. In the next second, she was going to stab him. With his injuries, even if he was a Jounin, Ruri was confident that she could kill him. However, at this moment, a large hand-a rough, powerful, and warm hand-pressed down on Qimu Liuli's head.
She stared blankly at her father who was holding her down…
This was…the first time she felt her father from such a distance…
"I have business to attend to."
Under the villagers 'gazes, Azurite Qimu followed her father and continued walking…
On the other side, the man from before was also expressionless, but tears were rolling down his face…Shuo Mao, have you decided…
