The wooden leaf was surrounded by a forest formed by countless huge trees. Other than the better geographical location of the Fire Country, most of the credit should be attributed to the first generation of Naruto. The Wood Escape was indeed a super escape technique that could not be harmed in both battle and life.
If such a fine forest resource was placed in today's society, it would probably have been listed as a cultural heritage. However, at this moment, the forest had already been destroyed into a mess. The huge trees were swaying, and the cuts were smooth and flat. At a glance, it was obvious that they had been cut by an exaggeratedly sharp blade. The initiator of this matter was leaning against a tree stump, panting heavily. Many parts of his body had been cut. Even his silver hair... Her delicate little face was also covered in mud due to the combination of dust and sweat. It was none other than Azurite Qimu.
"Damn it, it still doesn't work!" Hatake Liuli sighed in disappointment and rubbed the " Kagami " in her hand. Hatake Liuli had already tried countless times to control the chakra within her body, but even with her precise chakra control ability, she still had no clue. In the end, she still had to ask Okami for help. Therefore, Hatake Ruri began to attack the agreement she had with Tsunade-Sword Dance·Moment of Youth.
Theoretically speaking, this kind of saber technique that completely abandoned defense was a courageous saber technique that could kill all enemies within a ten-meter radius. Therefore, Ruri had found a dense forest to practice. She had thought that ten meters was the range for beginners to practice, but when she actually used it herself, she realized that once she used it, many things were out of her control. Even if she relied on her spiritual mind to determine her position, which was comparable to the whites of her eyes, this range was not something she could control. Up until now, he had not even completed a proper circle. He always deviated from the direction when he was performing it, and…
Qimu Liuli looked at the wounds on her body with a bitter smile. Even though she had the ability of spiritual perception, some places were still inevitably scratched by tree branches, and this was an unmoving tree branch. If it was an enemy, she would have died countless times. This was the most ruthless saber technique that Qimu Liuli had ever seen. Even her father's "Way of Teeth" did not have the ferocity of giving up on himself before destroying others. After practicing until now, Azurite finally had some clues. She realized that as long as she could find a fixed point within the range of the saber technique, it would be much easier to control.
It was as if the heavens were prepared to go against Qimu Liuli. At this moment, the weather that was not good to begin with actually started to drizzle. The rain seeped into the wounds on his body, causing them to emit a slight pain.
"How can such a setback be difficult for me!”Qimu Liuli didn't care about the drizzle at all. When she felt that Chakra had almost recovered, she immediately stood up and prepared to challenge him again.
“？”As soon as she activated her telegnosis ability, Hatake Ruri suddenly sensed two familiar chakras not far away in the southeast. One of them was an elite jounin, and it gave her a very familiar feeling. It seemed to be Kato Duan-sensei. The other one wasn't very strong, much weaker than the one with Earth and Asma, but it gave him a familiar feeling. Qimu Liuli's curiosity was piqued. It was rare to find someone familiar with this level of chakra…
She wiped her face with the rain and ran towards that person. The distance wasn't too far. In just a short while, Qimu Liuli arrived near the two of them.
Pulling aside the tall shrubs that blocked her vision, Hatake Ruri was instantly shocked by the scene in front of her!!!
What appeared in front of Qimu Liuli was a sea of roses!! The flowers were all purple and red, with white, pink, yellow, and green as the main colors. Moreover, the scale of this flower garden was not inferior to that of the Yamanaka family's flower garden. The only difference was that this place was filled with roses... no other flower could bloom in such a lush rose bush. The misty rain at dusk added a lingering sadness to this incomparably shocking scene.
She snapped out of her daze and looked at the two people who had already discovered her. She covered her mouth instantly, and her expression became extremely unnatural. Her face was filled with black lines, and she had a disgusted expression…
In the drizzling rain, in the world of roses, two men, one big and one small, were looking at him. Needless to say, the big one was his teacher at the Ninja School, Kato Duan. The other boy was shorter and about the same age as him. He had a sickly and thin appearance, but he was also an acquaintance of his in the ninja school-Moonlight Gale!!
"Eh? It was actually Azurite! Why are you here?" When Duan saw that the person who came was actually Azurite, he felt a little strange. However, it was not that he did not welcome her. He just felt that it was strange. There were not many people who liked to stroll in the forest on a rainy day like this…
Seeing that Kato Duan seemed to want to come over and greet her, Hatake Ruri instantly retreated five meters. She smiled awkwardly and said,""Ah, it's nothing. I ate too much…so I digested it…unknowingly…haha…haha…right! I haven't had lunch yet, so I'm leaving first, teacher…I didn't do it on purpose!”Qimu Liuli began to speak incoherently.
“？”Kato Daren was puzzled by the incoherent conversation between him and Azurite. Then, he suddenly remembered his friend who had instilled some things into him since he was young. His face instantly turned black."What exactly is in your head?! Are you really a six-year-old kid?!!”
Gazing at Moonlight and Gale, who looked confused, Kato Duren couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This was what a six-year-old should look like…
After coughing a few times, Moonlight Gale respectfully bowed 90 degrees to Kato Duan and said,"" Teacher, I'll go back first…"
"Go back first. Jifeng, it's not good for your body to be in the rain.”Kato nodded.
Moonlight Gale carried a wooden bucket and walked out of the flower garden. When he passed by Azurite, he glanced at Hanguang with a complicated gaze. He didn't stop, and his back gradually disappeared into the evening rain.
When the moonlight and wind approached, Azurite inconspicuously moved to the side. Although Kato Duan denied it, it still could not dispel Azurite's wariness.
" You…" Kato Duan could only smile helplessly when he saw this. It seemed that he would have to spend some effort to explain himself…
———————————————————————————————
After much effort, Kato Duan finally explained his relationship with Moonlight Gale.
"You mean…these roses were planted by Senior Moonlight Dance?!”The two of them didn't care about the drizzle. They sat beside the flowerbed and listened attentively to Kato Duan's story.
"En ~~ they were all planted by Jiwu.”Duan said with a sigh as he gently flicked the rain off a delicate pink rose petal.
"So you're helping him take care of these flowers now?”Azurite also looked at the flowers and thought of the saber technique that had caused her to be in a sorry state. It was hard to imagine that Moonlight Dance would have the leisure to plant flowers.
"Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's the Moonlight family.”Broken looked in the direction where Moonlight Gale left and replied.
Azurite nodded in understanding. She also thought of the Moonlight Gale from before and asked with a sigh,""How is Gale now?"
"I can't compare to geniuses like you.”Kato Drunken thought for a moment and said without any awkwardness. As a teacher, he said some objective facts," Gale's body has been weak since he was young. In fact, his body is not suitable to be a ninja. However, I don't know what his motivation is. I didn't expect him to last until now. Perhaps his talent isn't the best, but as his teacher, I've seen all of his hard work. He swings his sword at least ten thousand times a day. This isn't the perseverance that a child of his age can have.”In the end, Kato Duan glanced at Azurite, clearly indicating that " you're not included."
"Is that so?" Qimu Liuli also sighed. Suddenly, Qimu Liuli recalled the scene of Broken sending flowers to Tsunaho. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Broken strangely. She said sinisterly,"Speaking of which, the roses that Teacher Duan gave to Senior Tsunade…could this be considered as offering a borrowed flower to Buddha?”
Kato Duan silently lowered his head when he heard Azurite's words. After a while, he suddenly smiled.""That…I didn't give it to you…"
"Those red roses were originally sent on behalf of Jiwu…"
“？!”Now, Azurite was really confused. She could only passively wait for Duan's explanation.
These flowers…" Duan stood up and looked at the flowerbed in front of him."These flowers are different from ordinary roses. They will bloom once a month!”
"When Jiwu first planted it, he only took a handful of seeds and casually scattered them in this wilderness…As for how many can grow? What color are they? No one knows."
He picked up a green rose by his feet and played with it. He continued,"However, he had promised Tsunete that he would give the most beautiful rose to Tsunete every time it bloomed.”With a complicated look in her eyes, she looked for the little beauty in the flowers. No one knew what her complicated gaze contained.
"One flower every time? If the seeds were all red roses, how long would it take to send one a month?”She finally understood the relationship between Moonlight Dance and Tsunei. Instead of being surprised, it was more like she was relieved to get an accurate answer.
" Okami asked the same question back then. Do you know how Jiwu answered…" Duan looked at Hatake Ruri and asked mysteriously.
He simply shook his head. There was no need to waste his brain cells on something that he would definitely know.
"At that time, he said,'Then I'll send him to his old age. If he's too old to move, I'll stay here! Let the remaining time of the two of them end here…'”It was as if he had seen Okami's shy smile at that time. Duan only felt a wave of discomfort in his heart, and then he said in a bad mood,"After spending so much time together, I didn't know that the taciturn fellow would do this!”
" You're too stupid…" Hatake Ruri couldn't laugh at Duan's exaggerated anger." So…after he sacrificed himself…you helped him fulfill his wish?”
" That wasn't a sacrifice at all…That was just disobeying an order. I couldn't even get on the Heroic Spirit Monument…" Duan sat down dejectedly and lowered his head deeply.
Qimu Liuli was also very puzzled. She had indeed not seen such a person on the Heroic Spirit Monument. From what she heard, he was probably similar to her father…Thinking of this, Qimu Liuli no longer had the desire to speak.
After an unknown period of time, Qimu Liuli woke up first and realized that the rain had stopped. Although the sun had not risen, she could clearly feel that the surrounding light was better. Looking at the flowers around her, Qimu Liuli suddenly realized that something was wrong. She asked Broken in confusion,"Why don't I see many red roses here?”
Duan also came back to his senses. Hearing Qimu Liuli's question, he sighed." Perhaps I wasn't familiar with the way I took care of her when she left. A large number of red roses withered overnight, and the remaining ones won't be given away for long…It can be said that these are the only fetters Tsunei has for Koba…When all the red roses are given away…"
Azurite was starting to admire Duan. Even this blind man could tell that Duan liked Tsunake. However, after Jiwu passed away, he had only quietly waited. He had the chance to transplant the red roses from the side, but he had never thought of doing so. However, Hatake Ruri thought of the agate-like ring on Okami's right ring finger. If Moonlight Dance was a transmigrator, then it was no coincidence that Okami was wearing it there. The ring on Okami's right ring finger had another name in her world. It was called the Ring of No Marriage.
" Hah, I'll stop talking." Duan stretched his body and looked at the wounds on Qimu Liuli's body."You…are you cultivating…Instant Youth?”
“!”Ruri's eyes instantly widened! "Teacher actually knows!"
He smiled nonchalantly and looked at Azurite. Suddenly, he said in a seductive voice,""Do you need Teacher's help? Although I'm not good at saber techniques, I can be said to be the only living person in this world who has seen that…that exquisite moment of beauty."
