Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"Hey, it's really vicious." Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and took two steps back. He pulled out the kunai that was inserted into the tree trunk several centimeters deep in his back and placed it on the ninja tool around his waist. In the bag.

"Let's go. I'll be left behind soon." When Koharu went to bed, he saw Kurosaki Ichigo's look and knew that he didn't listen to his words at all. He could only glare at Kurosaki Ichigo bitterly, then turned around and jumped up the tree. He just wanted to wait for Kurosaki Ichigo and left immediately.

Sure enough, as Koharu expected, after she walked less than 200 meters, Kurosaki Ichigo appeared beside her and followed her, jumping on the tree trunks.

Suddenly, Koharu, who was sleeping, turned around and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, who was always one step behind him and followed unhurriedly a few meters behind him, with evil eyes.

"What?" Ichigo Kurosaki, who was stunned by Koharu's gaze, paused slightly, and then a rapidly spinning shuriken shot out of Koharu's hand.

After sleeping, Koharu fired the shuriken very quickly and at a tricky angle. It seemed that the target was Kurosaki Ichigo's abdomen, but it drew an arc in the air and turned towards Kurosaki Ichigo's right arm.

During Kurosaki Ichigo's rapid march, he only had time to retract his arm, and then a little bit of blood splashed on the side of his face. However, Kurosaki Ichigo did not feel the slightest pain, and he passed by him in a flash. I couldn't help but look back, and found that where I was before, there was a snake wrapped around the tree trunk above and hanging down.

No, there is only half of it left now, and blood is pouring out wantonly from the half-remaining snake. It is precisely because of this that Kurosaki Ichigo can easily see this well-hidden snake.

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Koharu Koharu in surprise. Koharu Koharu smiled proudly, slowed down a little, and came to the position with Ichigo Kurosaki and said: "You must always be vigilant in this kind of forest. There are a lot of things that could kill you, rookie."

"But isn't that snake a color-changing snake? It seems to be non-venomous, right?" Ichigo Kurosaki blinked and asked strangely. He had accidentally read a book about animals before, which mentioned that this kind of skin color can change with the surroundings. The chameleon snake changes in response to environmental changes. It is a non-venomous snake that survives by hunting mice and baby birds.

"Don't be verbose. I helped you kill the snake. I should at least thank you."

When she went to bed, Xiao Chunyu blushed. This kind of color-changing snake was rare because it was difficult to hunt. She had not read any animal books and naturally did not know its details. She thought it was some kind of highly venomous snake. She wanted to kill one in the dark. Ichigo Saki showed off his abilities, but unexpectedly he was slapped in the face by Ichigo Kurosaki, so he could only say stiffly.

"Yes, yes, thank you." Kurosaki Ichigo didn't think too much and nodded in agreement.

After going to bed, Koharu's face changed because of Kurosaki Ichigo's answer: "Your attitude is too much, don't look down on others just because you think you are a genius and you have the Uchiha clan supporting you."

Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned by Koharu's sudden outburst. Then Koharu quickened his pace. Kurosaki Ichigo had no intention of catching up. Instead, he raised his hand and touched his face. In addition to the blood stains left before, there were a few drops of transparent liquid. He could clearly see that those water droplets flew out of Xiaochun's eyes when she turned to leave.

"Did she... cry?" Kurosaki Ichigo murmured, "Although I have noticed her resentment towards me before, I didn't expect that this resentment would be so strong." He sighed as he spoke. As he turned to sleep, Xiaochun's chakra traces followed him.

Koharu soon found that Kurosaki Ichigo was following her again, but this time the distance between Kurosaki Ichigo and her had widened again, and he did not even appear in Koharu's sight. Here, she relied entirely on the chakra left behind by Koharu when she was on her way to follow her.

"This guy..." After sleeping, Xiaochun bit her lip, feeling that she had gone too far, but after a moment of hesitation, she continued on her way.

to noon.

After sleeping, Xiaochun was jumping among the branches, and suddenly found several symbols carved on the tree trunk in front of him, so he stopped and went to check, and found that the meaning was that all the mission personnel should stop to rest and wait until one o'clock in the afternoon to start again.

"Come out, you can rest." Koharu said before going to bed, and then jumped down from the tree. She wanted to tell Ichigo Kurosaki. Although she did not see Ichigo Kurosaki, she knew that he would be able to listen. to your own words.

Sure enough, just after Koharu went to bed and wandered around under the tree twice and found a relatively flat small open space, Kurosaki Ichigo appeared next to her.

"Your teleportation technique is very fast." Koharu glanced at the calm Kurosaki Ichigo before going to bed, and said as he took out a black pellet from the ninja bag on his waist and threw it into his mouth.

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded without saying anything, inserted his Zhenheng into the ground, and then took out the scroll from his arms. After unfolding it, Kurosaki Ichigo's chakra poured in, and a ball of white rose up on the scroll. Smoke, Kurosaki Ichigo's huge burden appeared.

"Do you want to eat?" Kurosaki Ichigo took out a food box from his bag, which contained more than a dozen rice balls. This was prepared for him by Uchiha Jinna before leaving. He picked up one and went to bed. Xiaochun raised his head and asked.

"Ha, you really came here for an outing." Xiaochun sneered when he went to bed.

Kurosaki Ichigo's hand holding the rice ball froze in mid-air. After a long moment of silence, he retracted his hand and took a bite on the rice ball.

After turning to bed, Xiaochun's eyes showed a little guilt, but it disappeared immediately. After taking out a black pill from the ninja bag again and throwing it into her mouth, she closed her eyes and rested.

Kurosaki Ichigo ate two rice balls, and then sealed his baggage into the scroll again. After doing all this, he looked at Koharu, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, why are you saying sorry?" After sleeping, Koharu suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Kurosaki Ichigo. "What happened before was that I was too unreasonable, and I am the one who should apologize."

"Although I don't know who you lost," Ichigo Kurosaki said, sitting on the ground and leaning against the tree behind him, "but I still want to apologize to you for Madara."

"Stop...don't be ridiculous..." Koharu went to bed, feeling as if all his thoughts were being seen through by Kurosaki Ichigo, and said fiercely, "I...where did I lose someone important? Besides, You said Uchiha Madara and I have nothing to do with him."

"Your eyes can't lie. The sadness and resentment in your eyes when you looked at me." Kurosaki Ichigo said lightly, "And you didn't show such eyes when I first met you. After your death, you were ordered to monitor me. In addition to your chakra, I was able to discover your existence, and your eyes were also a big help."

"Hey, is it so obvious?" After sleeping, Xiaochun lowered his head and touched his eyes, and his voice became deeper.

"I'm sorry." Kurosaki Ichigo said, as if he was saying it to Koharu who was sleeping, but also as if he was saying it to himself.

"Actually, my behavior is very childish," Koharu suddenly laughed at himself after going to bed, "I wishfully hate you as Uchiha Madara's son, and I can only satisfy my revenge by showing off my power in front of you. Heart..."

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head, licked his lips and said, "If you don't mind, can I listen to you talk about that person?"

"He..." Koharu hesitated before going to bed, "his name is Morishita Kawanari, and he is my friend. He and I, as well as Hiruzen, Danzo, Kagami and others were all disciples of Tobirama-sensei. Practice together, fight together, grow together..."

"What kind of person is he to you?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, "Colleague, partner, friend, brother, or lover?"

"Brother," Koharu, who moved to bed, gave the answer without hesitation this time, "He and my brother are good friends. After my brother died, he protected me like a brother. I can become a disciple of Teacher Tobirama." It was Brother Chuancheng’s recommendation, and later on, most of my spiritual difficulties were solved by Brother Chuancheng.”

After turning to bed, Koharu took a long breath, and there was a hint of trembling in his voice unconsciously: "Brother Kawanari... he has always longed to become Hokage, to become a ninja like Lord Hokage, although there are people like Hiruzen and Danzo on the way forward. He competed with other geniuses but was not discouraged at all. Instead, he was even more excited until that day..."

"Madara's Attack" Kurosaki Ichigo already knew the date Koharu mentioned, so he spoke softly.

After turning to bed, Koharu nodded: "Yes, Teacher Tobirama sent out an intelligence team that day before Madara's attack to prevent Madara Uchiha from sneaking in, but there was a lack of leaders who could lead multiple intelligence teams. At that time, he had gradually turned into a civilian Brother Kawanari volunteered, and Teacher Tobirama agreed, and that’s it, Brother Kawanari..."

"I'm sorry." Kurosaki Ichigo closed his eyes. When he was in the shelter, he felt the vibration caused by the huge explosion outside the village before Uchiha Madara arrived. Now he can naturally think of Morishita Kawanari's fate and looked at him. Xiaochun, who was full of tears but tried not to let them flow out, went to bed. He felt that his sister-in-law was a little dry and could only say sorry.

"I...I always think...Although Uchiha Madara is dead, his son is still alive...Although he also lost his father...but how can this be enough? I want... . Suppress him... let him know how incompetent he is, and finally let him live his life in mediocrity with this idea, living in my shadow forever."

"I am the one who should say I'm sorry," Xiaochun went to bed and wiped her tears, trying to make her voice sound normal. "I know how childish it is for me to vent my hatred on you, but every time I see you When I see you, the fire in my heart will burn, which is why I do such rude things..."

Koharu didn't finish her words when she went to bed, because a hand had touched the top of her head. She raised her head blankly and found Ichigo Kurosaki looking at her with a smile and said softly: "Now, it's time to go."
