Chapter XXIII
Undercurrents were surging in the Ninja Realm outside. Dawn's actions, Root's search, and the Dark Group's surveillance were all interwoven and mixed together. It was like a big chess game that had already begun to play. Each of them had their own arrangements and plans.
On the interwoven chessboard, everyone wanted to be a chess player. It was a competition of who was more behind-the-scenes, who was the mantis, who was the cicada, who was the oriole, and who was the fisherman.
On the other hand, Xuan's life was the complete opposite. He was completely relaxed and used Uchiha Tomitake's interface to cultivate every day. The reason why he used Uchiha Tomitake's interface was because compared to the template of Zhishui, he would definitely decompose the template of Tomitake, even though they were both unique.
Of course, the location of his cultivation had changed. He had changed to a hidden small valley. There was a small waterfall and a small spring here.
As for why he came here, it was because it was hidden enough that no one could disturb his and Hatata's private time.
The incident with Itachi and Izumi had left a deep impression on Xuan, and Xuan also valued Hatsunada even more.
"Xuan, I succeeded." In the distance, the drenched Hatsune stood on the surface of the water. She waved her hand at Xuan happily and smiled.
Geno waved at Hinata.
The girl stepped on the water and came over, her body covered in water.
"Hatata, let me ask you, will you be with me forever?”The boy's voice rang in her ears.
"Of course, Lord Xuan." Hatata's gaze instantly softened. She seemed to have sensed the boy's deep thoughts as she gently hugged him."I will always be by your side.”
Although his voice was soft and soft, the emotions contained in it were firm and unquestionable. He suddenly remembered what the humpback whale had said to Lu Mingfei.
" Sakura, let me tell you a truth. The price for a woman to love a man is often much higher than the price for a man to love a woman…Sometimes, the price is a lifetime…"”
At this moment, the sunlight was warm and comfortable as it scattered on the grass.
Xuan suddenly felt very lucky. This was the first time he was lucky enough to transmigrate to this world. He was not carrying too many stools, nor was he a cowardly child like Lu Mingfei. He was Xuan, that cold, ordinary person who also had warmth and softness in his heart.
In order to protect the tenderness in his heart, he could raise his sword, he could harden his heart, and he could circle around in the darkness. Everything was to protect the softness in his heart, that pure land.
"If we were all little monsters, then I would kill all the Ultraman.”Xuan whispered something that Hatata did not understand.
"Hatata."
"Yes." The response was soft and low.
"Let's grow long hair. Long hair looks better.”Xuan smiled and whispered into her ear.
"Alright."
。。。。。。。
Time flew by, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Five years could change a lot, but when it came to Muye, it was as if nothing had changed.
"Xuan, get up quickly. We're going to be late. We still have the class exam this morning.”A small, warm hand pinched her nose. Xuan opened her eyes and saw a pair of gentle eyes.
"I'm sorry, Hatata. I overdid my cultivation yesterday and overslept.”Xuan stretched lazily, then quickly got up. After washing up, she hugged Hatata.
"Instant Body Technique." He switched to the Waterstop Mode and formed a few seals.
"Swoosh."
A moment later, Genji brought Hatata to the classroom of Ninja School.
Today's assessment indeed had a different meaning to Xuan because today was the beginning of the plot.
The Ninja School's assessment during peaceful times was very simple. It was only a test of the application of the Three Body Technique. If this was in Kakashi's era, the Three Body Technique would only be an entrance examination. It could only be said that ninjas were originally products of war. Without war, the overall strength of ninjas would deteriorate.
During the three battles, the average graduation age was nine to ten years old, and their strength was generally not weak. The current graduation age had already reached twelve years old, and their strength was very average. For example, Sasuke, who had mastered a Grand Fireball, was already considered a genius.
The assessment was very simple. Among the Nine Unyielding Experts of the same batch, only Naruto did not pass.
After an hour, there were not many people left in Ninja School.
Under the dusk, only a lonely figure was left on the swing, looking at the lively crowd in front of him.
This was Naruto. Even though he had always been a prank in front of others and looked like he had too much energy, he was still just a child. He had always been ostracized by the villagers. Coupled with his failure in the assessment this time, he was probably about to collapse to his limit.
"Don't play with that kid, he's the embodiment of bad luck.”
"That demon fox kid is indeed a good-for-nothing. It would be strange if such a person could become a ninja.”
"Lord Third Generation, why didn't you chase such a monster out of the village? What if there was another riot?”
Countless vicious words were like sharp arrows that pierced into Naruto's tender heart. His heart had lacked love since he was young. No matter how big his heart was, it could not bear such viciousness forever.
"Yes."
Just as Naruto's head was drooping lower and lower, his hand holding the swing rope was getting tighter and tighter, and his fingers were turning slightly white.
A popsicle reached out.
He raised his head in surprise and saw Xuan's faint smile.
"Eat it. This ice cream tastes pretty good. It's one of the few that I've found over the years that are barely edible.”Xuan took a bite of the ice cream and stood at the side. She looked at the adults who spoke viciously in front of her with an indifferent gaze.
"Ah." Naruto looked at the ice cream in his hand, but tears kept falling, silently dripping on the ice cream.
Because of his cultivation, his relationship with Xuan was not as close as the orphanage. In addition to his identity as Xuan's first student, Naruto only realized now that when you were truly lonely, where were your true friends?
"Hurry up and eat. The ice cream is about to melt.”Genji's tone was flat, as if he did not notice Naruto's tears.
"Yes." After wiping the tears off his face, Naruto smiled and stuffed the ice cream into his mouth.
"So cold."
"Sigh, eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you.”Xuan sighed and looked at Naruto who was biting the ice cream in his mouth.
He was clearly the son of a hero, but he was treated like a sinner. Fourth Generation, could you really see it in Naruto's body?
"Hey, Xuan, am I really the demon fox that caused trouble in the village?”Naruto looked at the people in the distance and said in a low voice,""Why does everyone hate me so much?”
"I don't know." With his hands behind his head, Xuan Jiang leaned against the tree."But I know not everyone hates you.”
"Hmm?"
"In your heart, there are two people who love you the most.”Xuan said indifferently and did not explain further."You will know in the future, Naruto. Your life is not worse than others.”
"I suddenly feel that there's a saying that suits you very well, Naruto.”Xuan suddenly thought of something and turned around with a smile."The world slanders me, bullies me, humiliates me, laughs at me, despises me, despises me, hates me, and deceives me. I just have to endure him, let him be, let him be, avoid him, endure him, respect him, ignore him, and wait for a few more years to see him.”
