Three days later, in a small town at the border of the Water Country.
In a single day, snow as heavy as goose feathers began to fall in the Land of Tianshui. The snow was silvery white, and a thick layer of snow piled up on the road.
He brushed the snow off his clothes and walked into a nearby tavern. He took off his bamboo hat, revealing his long black hair and handsome face.
"Boss, please give me a serving of meatballs and a serving of taiyaki.”After sitting in the guest seat in the tavern hall, he opened his mouth and ordered a few dishes from the boss.
The news of the fourth-generation Mizuki being killed in an instant spread like a plague in the Water Country. The news was also spreading everywhere in the Ninja Realm. Strangely enough, although the Hidden Fog Village had issued a very strict arrest warrant, the number of ninjas being hunted in the Water Country did not increase. Instead, the Hidden Fog Village was busy carrying out drastic reforms.
"I've been searching for three days, but I still haven't found anything…" He sighed as he sat in the tavern. He had been searching for Bai's whereabouts for the past few days, but to no avail.
'As expected, in such a huge country, it's only possible to run into someone on the streets…
Fortunately, the Water Nation has gone through a long period of civil war. Now that the fourth generation of Mizuki is dead, Hidden Fog is busy implementing reforms. Otherwise, I would have been hunted down countless times by the murderers who are still running around the streets of the Water Nation.' Momentarily thought to himself.
"Have you heard about what happened a few days ago?”
"Of course I heard! The Water Country had already issued an arrest warrant!”
"Yeah, I heard that it was done by the
white-eyed demon from the hidden village of Woodleaf Leaf…Who exactly is that white-eyed demon…"
As he ate the food that was served to him, he listened to the ordinary customers sitting next to him talking about how he had killed Mizuki. The news had spread like wildfire in Ninja World, and even the ordinary people were fighting over it.
"Boss, the bill, please."
After eating, Momo placed the money on the table and hurriedly walked out of the tavern. His eye-rolling characteristic was too obvious. If he continued to stay, he would inevitably encounter unnecessary trouble.
"Forget it, there's nothing I can do even if I can't find it..." After coming out of the tavern, he unknowingly walked to the bridge of the town in the cold wind. Looking down from above, the pedestrians on the road wrapped themselves tightly in winter clothes and hurried. The lively shops on both sides of the street added a little liveliness to the lifeless snowy day.
Just as he was about to leave the town, a long-haired child squatting by the bridge suddenly attracted his attention. He muttered to himself and walked over."It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
When he walked up to the child, the child sensed that someone was coming over. He raised his head and looked at Moment with his pair of exquisite and clear eyes."Brother, do you have anything to eat?"
The child before him was dressed in ragged clothes and was barefooted. Her long black hair was disheveled just like Setsuna's, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. It was difficult to tell if this was a boy or a girl.
"What's your name?" The child in front of him fit the image in his memory very well, but he still asked.
"My name is Bai…" The child's big eyes looked at his handsome older brother with a hint of hope in them."Brother, your eyes are different from mine. They're so beautiful…"
Bai Ma, I've finally found you…In that instant, she looked at the child who was as white and transparent as snow in front of her with some pity.
The country of water and the country of fire were different. The country of fire and the country of water were the symbols of nobility that surpassed ordinary people. Under the high-pressure policy of the country of water and the four generations of water shadows, the people who had blood and boundaries were cursed and regarded as unlucky people.
Bai was originally a descendant of the Snow Tribe in the Water Country. He was born in a village that was always snowing. The people in the village were afraid of the war and hated the Blood Successor Limit. Bai's mother had the limit of a blood heir and had hidden this secret for a long time. Bai's family had been living a poor but peaceful life until Bai was discovered to have inherited this ability. Bai's father discovered this secret and led a group of villagers to kill Bai's mother first. Just as he was about to kill Bai, the frightened Bai used the Blood Successor Limit and killed everyone present with an ice cone. Bai, who had become an orphan overnight, was now begging on the streets of Water Country.
Because he was a beautiful young man with a feminine appearance and long black hair, he was kind and quiet by nature, so he was often mistaken for a girl.(There were also many Doujin authors who deliberately imagined Bai as a girl for their harem. In fact, Bai's self-description and official information had always shown that Bai was a man. Were there not enough cross-girls in the two-dimensional world?)
Bai saw that he fell into silence and lowered his head sadly. As expected, no one in this world needs me…Unexpectedly
, a warm hand was placed on his head. The handsome brother in front of him said gently,"Bai, come with me. From today onwards, I'm your family.”
Bai's eyes widened as he stared at Moment in disbelief. A hazy light flashed across his lonely eyes,""Do you need me?"
"Family..." Bai Xin silently thought about these two words. Ever since his mother was killed by his father, it was a memory that he hadn't touched for a long time
. Seeing the light in Bai's eyes, Momenta's face revealed a beautiful smile. She extended her other hand to Bai."Get up and follow me."”
"Yes!" When he saw Moment's hand reaching over, Bai desperately squeezed out the tears that were about to fall from his eyes. He nodded and smiled happily. He grabbed Moment's hand as if he had grabbed a world that he could only see but could not reach.
He pulled Bai up from the ground and looked at her carefully. She was only about six years old, and she looked a little skinny due to her long-term lack of nutrition. He took off his snowcoat and draped it over Bai.
"Let's go." Moment pushed the bamboo hat on his forehead and walked down the bridge with Bai on his shoulder. Bai tightly grabbed the jacket that Moment had put on him. Feeling the warmth from it, a blissful smile appeared on his face.
"That kid is a tool that I like. Do you want to take him away just like that?”As soon as they got off the bridge, a low voice entered Moment and White's ears.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at the owner of the voice. In an instant, he saw a tall ninja with a bandaged face and a mist shield on his head. He also carried a huge beheading knife on his back.
"One of the seven ninjas, the ghost man of Kirigakure-Momochi, are you not going to kill him…" Instantly turned around from White's side, raised the bamboo hat on his head, and rolled his eyes at the ninja before him.
"Hmph, have you heard of my name before…" As No Slash spoke, his eyes suddenly widened because he saw Moment turn around and reveal a pair of white eyes."You…you are…"
