It had been three years since Ying had entered the school. Thinking of the past, Ying wished he could smash the office of the old man of three generations.
After the battle with Kakashi, Zhishui had chased Kakashi away and returned to recuperate. The two brothers had a discussion and Zhishui brought Shadow to look for the third-generation successor.
However, Shadow had been careful. Before he went to find the third-generation successor, he had asked Zhi Shui to tell Heaven's Burial about this.
Shadow knew that Heaven's Burial was Tanzang's confidant, so he definitely knew a lot of inside information. He would definitely be able to guess that the third-generation successor was going to take action against him, and he might even use him as a fuse to do something to the Uchiha Clan.
Ying didn't know if the third-generation successor was involved in the extermination of the clan, but now, he felt that even if the group didn't make a move, the third-generation successor would.
When they arrived at the office, the third-generation successor did not stand on ceremony at all. He directly asked Shadow what she had been doing during the period of time when she was missing, and whether she had come into contact with the renegade or even Orochimaru.
Shadow was enraged by the question, and then, he was defeated by the third-generation Merciless. At the critical moment, it was still Zhishui who came forward to stop him.
The 3rd generation's target immediately turned to Zhishui, saying that the Uchiha clan was going to rebel and blabbering on and on.
He had almost used the kaleidoscope of the water seal. If it wasn't for Shadow's persuasion, the old man would have led the Koba Jounin to wipe out Uchiha without even waiting for the Weasel Clan to be exterminated.
The third-generation successor kept talking about the problem of Zhishui's eyes, saying that it was an unstable factor. Shadow heard it clearly from the side. Didn't he just want his eyes? Why did he say it so righteously?
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Tuan Zang and Heaven's Burial arrived in an aggressive manner. When the third-generation successor saw Tuan Zang arrive, he no longer acted as arrogantly as before.
Tanzo looked at Ying greedily, causing goosebumps to appear all over Ying's body. After that, everyone else left the office, leaving only Tanzo and the third-generation successor talking inside.
After that, the matter was left unsettled. Shadow wouldn't have any good feelings towards the team just because of this. That guy didn't have any ulterior motives, so why would he care about the lives of others?
The next three years were relatively comfortable. School, home, and training ground were all three points. Life was very fulfilling.
This year, Naruto and the others were already nine years old, while Ying was already twelve years old.
"Extermination, extermination is not far away." Shadow thought about how he had seen Weitake recently. He heard from Zhishui that he had become the leader of the Dark Group and had more missions.
However, what worried Shadow was that Zhishui's condition was getting worse and worse. Every day, he would look exhausted when he returned home.
Ying had also secretly peeped at Zhishui. When Zhishui was alone in the house, he always liked to open the kaleidoscope and sit there in a daze.
It was not a good habit for Zhishui, who could go on a mission at any time the next day, to consume chakras like this.
However, Zhishui did not seem to be afraid of death. Every time he went on a mission, he would consume a large amount of his chakras. In the end, he would even run to the training ground and randomly use ninjutsu.
Fortunately, what Ying was worried about did not happen. Zhishui was still alive and well by his side.
Speaking of school matters, Ying, Naruto, and Sasuke were not on good terms. Sasuke was a little better off. After being taught a lesson by Ying, he became much more obedient. When he went to school, he would sometimes bring some bruises. He should have gone back to secretly cultivate. This made Ying nod in his heart. No matter how talented he was, it was all dog shit without hard work.
As for Naruto, whenever Shadow thought about it, he would want to hammer this bastard to death. It was not known when Naruto had an epiphany, but he went to chat with Hatata casually, causing Hatata to hide from Shadow.
Fortunately, there was still Ino, this beauty, by Ying's side, which made Ying feel better.
"Ying, shall we go for barbecue today?”As soon as Ino finished school, he ran over to Shadow and smiled sweetly while holding onto Shadow's arm.
"Oh, I don't feel like moving today. You guys go first.”Ying said listlessly.
"Hmph, is it because Hatata didn't talk to you again, so you're not going with me?”Ino said with red eyes.
"No, no, I'm not feeling well today. I want to go back and rest early.”Ying quickly explained. Ino was a pretty good girl. He didn't want to make Ino sad, even if that was the reason.
"Forget it, I'll let you off today.”Ino thought for a moment, then kissed Shadow on the cheek and ran away shyly with a red face.
"This little girl sure has a sweet mouth." Shadow touched the place where Ino had kissed, thought about it, and went to find Shikamaru. After giving Shikamaru some money, he said that he had treated Ino to a meal, and then went home.
When he reached the door, President Ying felt that the atmosphere was not right today. It was as if the surroundings were lifeless, especially in the courtyard. It was so quiet that it made people go crazy.
"Something happened." Ying hurriedly pushed open the door. Once he entered, he was dumbfounded.
In the courtyard, a tall man stood with his back facing the door. He had a cattail leaf fan on his back. Judging from his hairstyle, he should be Zhi Shui, who had claimed to be on a mission.
"Brother Zhishui?" Shadow felt that something was wrong and called out in a trembling voice.
"Ah, Ying, you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time.”When Zhi Shui heard Ying's voice, his body trembled and he slowly turned his head around.
" Phew…" Seeing that Zhishui's eyes and body were fine, Ying heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to go over and reason with Zhishui why he was scaring him.
Just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by Zhishui.
"Ying, can you just stand there and chat with me?”Zhi Shui said gently.
"Alright." Shadow was stunned for a moment. He did not understand why, but he still stood still. There was a magic power in Zhishui's body that made people want to care for him and not disappoint him.
"I remember when I was young, there were no cherry blossom trees in the courtyard. Haha, at that time, my father was still around and he was very strict with me…"
Zhishui kept talking about his childhood while Ying listened quietly at the side. Anyway, Zhishui was fine. Perhaps he was too annoyed and wanted to talk to someone.
However, as Zhi Shui spoke, he talked about Ying and also some Mu Ye.
"Ying, you must remember that no matter what, you must have your own choices and your own path. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, without a firm heart, everything is like the moon in the water.”
As he spoke, Zhishui took out a small box from his pocket and smiled sadly." It's your birthday the day after tomorrow. I might not be able to spend it with you. This is a small gift for you. I hope you'll be satisfied.”
At this point, tears could not help but fall from the corners of Zhishui's eyes. This was the first time Shadow had seen Zhishui cry. He immediately felt that something was wrong and pounced towards Zhishui.
However, Ying's hand passed through Zhishui's body. Just as he was about to make contact, Zhishui's body turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared. The small box fell into Ying's hand.
" Ying, you must live well. I will protect you in heaven…"
" Brother..." Zhishui's last words before he disappeared made Ying's entire face burst into tears. If this wasn't his last words, what was it? He even said that he couldn't celebrate his birthday with him. Ying ran out of the door like a madman.
P.S. This chapter was written in a very depressing way. Unknowingly, it was written like this, especially in the last few passages. Shadow could not help but feel a little bitter. It was also a true expression. Friends who like Zhishui, this can be considered as giving Zhishui a good home, right?
With such a sincere brother who misses me, I think I can rest in peace.
When I watch Naruto, I'm always moved by all kinds of emotions, and the most touching thing is the love and care that Itachi has for Sasuke. I think, a man that even Itachi respects must be a good brother, right?
To send off our beloved still water!!!
