"Alright, five days isn't too long. Everyone, go back first.”
After eating some food with Hideaki and Noriki, the three of them went their separate ways. When Rope Tree returned to the Thousand-Hand Clan's land, Hideaki went straight to the ninja tool shop to replenish his weapons.
Night fell into an awkward state of doing nothing.
"There are still two days before the lottery draw, and four days before Kyocinna seals Nine-Tails. It seems that there's nothing to do today.”
Night yawned lazily as she hugged her head and strolled slowly on the streets of Muye. Due to the war, the people on the streets were all in a hurry. It was as if the war in Ninja Realm was about to fall on them.
Ye, who had a leisurely expression on his face, looked so out of place, as if he was a person independent of this world.
"Night?"
The soft and weak voice made Night's bones go soft. Without looking at Night, she knew that it was the little loli of the Uchiha family, Uchiha Mikoto.
Turning around, he saw Meiqin standing behind Night, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Mikoto, who had been implicated in the duel between Yoshiaki and Tomitake, was also unfortunately grounded. However, she was released after a month of observation in the Uchiha clan.
Although the Uchiha clan was humiliated by the fact that Night had defeated Fugawa, the big clans were unexpectedly magnanimous and did not follow up at all. Instead, Fugawa became even more diligent in his cultivation after losing to Night. It was said that he had even advanced to Jounin not long after.
This was the first time such a young Jounin had appeared in Koba City. This was because the Uchiha Clan had gained a lot of respect among the higher-ups of Koba City. At the same time, they had also selectively forgotten about Night.
However, Meiqin's attitude towards Night had changed after she returned to school, because everything Night had done made this little loli a little embarrassed to face this bold youth.
Until today, when Mikoto was taken away by a Jounin of the same race, and the lonely figure of Night in the classroom made Mikoto feel a little uncomfortable.
"Meiqin, congratulations on becoming a ninja.”
Night had a perfect smile on his face, which made Meiqin's heart beat wildly. Two years of growth had made Night grow into a handsome young man. The trace of immaturity on his face had mostly faded with the passage of time. Now, Night looked much more mature than his peers, and his powerful strength added a lot of points to him.
"Thank you, Ye. How have you been recently?”
"Yeah, it's good to eat and drink, but it's not good. It's just that I rarely see Meiqin, so I'm a little unhappy.”
Such straightforward words made Meiqin's slightly flushed face flush red, but she did not get angry. Instead, she stretched out her small fist and gently punched Ye's chest.
"Annoying, you only know how to say flowery words.”
"How can it be flowery words? Every word I said came from the bottom of my heart.”
Ye Yi looked as if he would be struck by lightning if he lied. Meiqin's face was filled with happiness when she saw him like this. Sometimes, girls were so easily satisfied. Just a nice sentence from the person they liked could make them happy for half a day.
"Meiqin, is there something wrong?”
Seeing Meiqin shake her head, Night reached out her hand.
"Then come with me."
Looking at Night's outstretched hand, Meiqin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still placed her hand in Night's hand. Night's wicked smile flashed across his face as he gently held Meiqin's hand and slowly walked down the street.
"Ye, the situation is so chaotic now. What are you going to do next?”
"Mhm, I will follow Teacher Orochimaru into the battlefield of the Country of Rain. I heard that they are in need of manpower.”
"Ah!"
Meiqin covered her mouth in shock. She didn't expect Night, who had just become a ninja, to enter such a dangerous place like the Country of Rain.
Although becoming a ninja required battle, it was generally a gradual process. Take Mikoto for example. Although she had already become a ninja, she would first carry out relatively safe ordinary missions under the guidance of Jounin Sensei. She would only enter the battlefield after her strength had increased to a certain extent.
For someone like Ye who entered the battlefield right after graduation, that was not training, but courting death.
"Ye, this is too dangerous. Didn't you tell your teacher? According to the ninja's rules, a ninja who had not matured could reject such a mission that exceeded the limit.”
The so-called ninja rule was that if you knew that you didn't have the ability to complete the mission, you could apply for a mission that was more suitable for your ability. This was because the village didn't want ninjas to die in vain.
Of course, this rule could only be applied to ninjas who had just graduated from ninja school. If you were an uncle ninja and still carried out missions to find cats and dogs all day long, it would be too shameless.
"Hehe, don't worry. I have confidence in my strength. Besides, my teacher, Lord Orochimaru, is very strong.”
Although Orochimaru had yet to obtain the title of Sanin, as a genius of the three-man team, his name had long been spread throughout the village.
"But even so, it's too dangerous to enter the battlefield.”
Meiqin frowned, her face a little bitter. She did not want the person she liked to die at such a young age. Night had already guessed his thoughts from her expression, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It felt good to have someone care about him, but he had a reason to go.
"Don't worry, Meiqin. I promise you that I will return safely from the Country of Rain.”
He raised his hand and extended his little finger to Meiqin. Seeing Night's childish action, Meiqin also raised her hand and hooked it with Night's.
"Since you've already made a promise, you must do it no matter what. This is our agreement, Meiqin.”
Night's confident words infected Mikoto, and her initial worries disappeared completely. Mikoto held Night's finger and smiled happily.
" I believe you, Night."
"Haha, don't worry, Meiqin. Maybe I'll be able to make a name for myself after coming back from the Country of Rain.”
After saying this, Night was not worried at all. As a strong person, if he could not even fight against a flag, then he would rather die.
As they strolled around, Night and Meiqin arrived at the entrance of a dumpling shop. Night saw Meiqin glancing at the dumpling shop's signboard and smiled. She turned around and walked towards the dumpling shop.
"Ah, I'm a little hungry. Meiqin, eat something with me.”
Meiqin couldn't resist Night's invitation. Moreover, the dumplings in this restaurant had always been Meiqin's favorite. The two of them chose a table and sat down. They ordered a few dumplings and two cups of green tea. They chatted happily as they ate the dumplings.
At this moment, it was as if all their worries had left them.
