Moonless Water walked along a small path in the forest, looking at the birds flying past him. A pure smile that did not match his age appeared on his face.
"Huh?" Bai seemed to have sensed something, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. Bai shifted his gaze to a stream in the distance. There was some doubt in his eyes, and he hesitated for a moment before walking over to the stream. Walking into the stream, Bai cast his gaze on Nara Yu who was floating on the water. He was a little surprised to see that familiar figure. Bai naturally recognized the person floating on the surface of the water. Wasn't that the Ninja who had severely injured Leiya? When Shiro left Leiya, he had met Nara Yu in a hurry.
Bai looked at Nara Yu, who was clearly unconscious, with a hesitant expression. After hesitating for a while, Bai formed a seal with his hand. The water flowing between Nara Yu and the shore began to freeze rapidly. In an instant, an ice path leading to Nara Yu was completed.
Bai walked on the crystal-like ice road. Her delicate face and quiet temperament made her look exceptionally beautiful. Bai walked to the end of the ice road and looked at Nara Yu who was floating on the water surface. His expression did not change at all. At some point in time, a few Chiboni had appeared in Bai's right hand. His right hand quickly reached out to Nara Yu's neck. The sharp tip of the needle was only a hair's breadth away from Nara Yu's throat.
"Whoosh!" Shiro shook his head and took back the book in his hand. He scooped Nara Yuu out of the cold water and supported Nara Yuu step by step to the shore with his hands. However, what Bai didn't see was that when he took Chihon out of Nara Yuu's throat, an imperceptible black light also dissipated from the back of Nara Yuu's neck.
Bai threw Nara Yu off his body and onto the shore. He turned his head to look at the icy road, then turned his head to look at Nara Yu who was lying on the ground. The originally sturdy ice path began to slowly melt after being looked at by Bai. In the end, it turned into flowing water and merged into the original stream.
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!" Bai purposely covered his palm with a thin layer of ice and patted Nara Yu's face. As expected, Nara Yu's face shivered because of the cold air on her face. Her eyes, which were originally closed, also began to tremble slowly.
Nara Yuu opened her heavy eyes, and what entered her eyes was an unusually beautiful face. Nara Yuu looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared beside her and subconsciously closed her eyes again. She looked at everything that her shadow had seen and heard after she fainted before opening her eyes again. Seeing the beauty in front of her again, Nara Yu already knew what had happened through the memories of the shadow. She still had a good impression of this kind girl.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Why was he lying on the water alone?”Bai asked when he saw Nara Yuu wake up. There was nothing unusual on his face, as if he didn't know Nara Yuu at all.
Nara Yu looked at Bai, who looked as if she was really meeting him for the first time, and felt a little amused. However, she did not expose Bai's lie and still replied,""Me? I was just a little tired from cultivating today and accidentally fell asleep. Also, my name isn't Hello, my name is Nara Yu.”
"Oh! Nara... You, right? Are you a ninja?" Bai looked at Nara Yu, who was about to get up, and pretended not to know as he continued asking.
"Yes! That's right! How did you know I was a ninja?”
"Well... Just now, he met a yellow-haired child who was cultivating and called himself a Leaf Ninja.”
"The guy you met is called Naruto Uzumaki, right?”
"Eh? How did you know?"
"Because we are companions?"
"Companion? Oh right, that... Nara Yu! Why are you cultivating so hard! I think you're very powerful now!？”After hearing Nara Yu's answer, Bai asked the question that he had asked Uzumaki Naruto earlier.
Nara Yu looked at the hesitant Bai and didn't care that they were enemies. She smiled and said,""Dreams! Tell the truth! My dream has changed a lot since I was young, but the only thing that hasn't changed is to become stronger!”Nara Yu seemed to treat Bai as her friend and spoke of her dream very frankly.
"Become stronger? Why do you have to become so powerful? You look pretty good now!”
"Because I want to live! He wanted to protect his family and friends!”
"Family?" Hearing Nara Yu's words, Bai's expression darkened a little. Then, he pulled himself together and muttered,"That's right! Only by becoming stronger could he protect the people he wanted to protect.”
"Right! After talking for so long, he still didn't know the girl's name.”Nara Yu looked at the beautiful woman in front of her and asked.
"White!" Bai said. Then, he hesitated for a moment and added,"Water without moonlight!"
This time, it was Nara Yu's turn to be shocked. She really didn't expect that White would tell her her surname when they were enemies. After all, in this world, a person's surname could expose their abilities. Just like how people knew that Uchiha had Shurakan the moment they heard him, any ninja with rich experience would know the meaning of Moonless Water's surname.
Bai reached out to pick up the medicine bag on the ground and turned to leave. However, after walking for a while, Bai suddenly turned around and smiled brightly at Nara Yu."Nara Yu, I'm a boy! Don't make a mistake next time." As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Nara Yu, who was sitting on the ground, heard Bai's words and smiled. A man? Bai, do you really think I'm that idiot Naruto? Can't you even tell a man from a woman?
"White!" Nara Yu suddenly shouted at Bai and threw a wildflower in her hand at Bai. She continued to shout,""Remember! White! The next time I see you, please don't die! Also, this flower is my first gift to you. Don't throw it away!”
Bai, who was still moving forward, stopped when he heard Nara Yu's shout. He reached out and caught the wildflowers that were flying toward him. When Bai heard Nara Yu's shout, he already understood that his identity had probably been exposed long ago. However…That fellow…Bai looked at the wildflower in his hand and hesitated for a moment. He did not throw it away. Instead, he put it in his medicine bag and continued walking.
