The light of leaves

Chapter 18

The noisy classroom quieted down, Soseki walked forward, observed for a while, then formed a mudra with his hands, and pressed his hands on Hanako's forehead with glowing dim light.

Seeing this situation, everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound.

Not long after, the frown that Hanako had frowned when she fainted eased away, and then she woke up leisurely under everyone's expectant eyes.

"Wow! Hanako is alive!"

"Great, I knew the monitor would do it!"

"Is this the Tranquility Jutsu? In just a few days, Soseki has mastered another medical ninjutsu!" On the side, Asma's big eyes were full of confusion, "Not everyone said that medical ninjutsu and genjutsu are the most difficult to master ?"

Soseki was not immersed in the cheers of the crowd, but turned to Yui and Kaoru, and gave them both a tranquility spell, which moved the two forgotten little girls.

"Asma, Yibixi, please come and help me and send them to the hospital together." Although it is not sure whether Asma will go on the original track, but in order not to let Asma Ma sabotaged his plan, but Soseki decided to take the initiative to call Asma.

"Oh, here we come." Asma didn't know the dark thoughts in Soseki's heart. After recovering from the sluggishness, he rushed forward in three steps at a time, and said depressedly, "You bastard, You even learned ninjutsu behind my back, damn it, if you don’t work hard, even the number of ninjutsu you have learned will be surpassed by you!”

Before Soseki could answer, Yibixi's voice came faintly from the side, "Don't struggle, you will pass it sooner or later."

"Damn it, I don't even look down on you..." However, before Asma finished venting, something even more depressing happened.

Yui stared at him warily and resisted, and stepped back and said, "No, I can walk by myself."

Seeing the opponent take two steps back, Asma was in a mess.

"Heh, you guys are here to make a joke..." Yibixi was mocking in a cold voice, and heard Xun who was being supported by him whisper, "Well, why wasn't I the one who fainted, I really envy Hanako!"

Yibixi froze, and looked at Asma, a sense of sympathy flashed inexplicably in the eyes of the two of them.

……

By the time the hospital affairs were finished, it was already afternoon.

Soseki returned to the classroom, and everyone crowded around to ask about the situation.

"Don't worry, it's all right." Soseki comforted with a smile.

"Soseki said so, so I can rest assured."

"Haha, I feel like a real ninja today for no reason."

Everyone was laughing happily, and in the hustle and bustle, a somewhat lonely figure fell asleep on the seat.

Soseki walked towards the figure, "Hong, are you alright?"

Hong didn't speak, but shook her head buried in her elbow slightly.

"I know, you are blaming yourself, right?"

Hong didn't speak, and closed herself in her own haven.

Soseki was not surprised, and comforted in a gentle voice, "Actually, you did nothing wrong. If it were me, I would make the same choice as you."

Hearing Soseki's remarks which were completely different from the others, Hong timidly raised her head, "But, I almost killed Yui! I, I don't want to use illusion again."

"It's certainly not wrong to use illusion to protect yourself. What's wrong is to use illusion on your companions."

"Sure enough, I still..." Hearing this, Hong lowered her head in frustration again.

"No, I was the one who was really wrong! As the squad leader, I failed to discover and adjust your conflicts in time, and caused you, who were supposed to be companions, to go to the opposite side. Therefore, neither you nor Hanako are at fault, there is something really wrong. ,only myself!"

"Ah? No, no!" Hong shook her head abruptly, "How could you be wrong? It's obviously..."

Before Hong could finish speaking, Soseki went straight to the podium, "Everyone, can you listen to me?"

Hearing Soseki's voice, everyone in the classroom fell silent.

"Today, some unpleasant things happened in our class, but please don't blame Hanako and Hong, it's because I didn't fulfill my duty as monitor, if I cared about everyone, this kind of thing wouldn't happen at all Happened. I'm sorry I caused trouble for everyone!"

"Ah? There's no such thing!"

"Hmph! Squad leader, you look down on me too much!"

"That's right, we didn't do anything at all. It's obvious that you, the squad leader, are busy all by yourself."

Asma and Yibixi: "???"

"That's my hypocrisy." Soseki smiled brightly, and his sincere eyes swept over everyone, "We are all ninjas, and the only thing we can rely on when we perform tasks in the future is our companions, so I hope that each of us can Be your own back, each of us can be your own bond! Is it possible? I want to be friends with you forever!"

"Of course! We'll always be friends!"

"Certainly possible!"

"Soseki, how are Hanako and the others..." Yagami Kai suddenly pushed the door open, and then, shaking his legs in shock from the frenzied atmosphere in the classroom, he asked shyly, "How about you continue?"

……

After school, Soseki was arranging his small schoolbag when suddenly, a small hand pulled the corner of his clothes from the front.

Soseki looked up, and it was Hong who had regained a lot of vitality.

"Soseki, thank you!" Hong said seriously, clenching her small fists.

"We are friends." Soseki sighed, "Besides, this misunderstanding is actually because of me..."

Hearing this, he interrupted angrily, "Why do you still say that? I'm not that fragile anymore."

"I'm not... Forget it, it's nothing." Soseki smiled and shook his head, inviting, "Then let's go together."

"Ah?" Hong's eyes were a little erratic, looking at the ceiling and said, "Soseki, you go first, I want to stay in the classroom for a while."

"Huh?" Soseki looked her up and down suspiciously, resting his chin with his small hand, "Speaking of which, you don't seem to have stood up this afternoon."

"Did you hurt your foot?" Soseki's tone became a little serious.

"No, no." Hong waved her hands again and again, but seeing Soseki's persistent eyes, she couldn't help being defeated, and whispered, "Yes, they accidentally sprained my ankle when they pushed me."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" Soseki said with a stern face, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital now."

"No, absolutely not!" However, Hong's attitude this time was extremely firm.

"Is it because of Hanako and the others?" Soseki quickly understood the root of the problem.

His cheeks were red and swollen, but he didn't speak.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Soseki sighed helplessly, knelt down, and began to heal her.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again." Hong didn't have any strange thoughts, but felt that the palm of Soseki's pressing on her ankle was a little warm, and also... the serious Soseki who treated her was really handsome!
Not long after, Soseki finished the treatment, "Okay, you can try to stand up and take a few steps."

Hong obediently stood up and walked cautiously, "Well, it's really much more comfortable."

"That's good, let's go, I'll take you home." Saying that, Soseki helped put away the red schoolbag.

"I can carry it myself."

"The wounded should listen to the doctor's words."

"Well, by the way, my father is also at home today, he is a very powerful phantom ninja!" Hong took the initiative to find a topic.

"Senior Zhenhong? I heard from people in the village that his illusion is the strongest in Konoha!" Soseki said with "longing".

"Hee hee, right?"
