Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Lord Yasuo, are you leaving Kirigakure Village?"

When Shimura Teru was joking with the three kiddies, Kimimaro suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately turned the originally lively tea and meal atmosphere into quiet.

All the children's eyes turned to Shimura Teru, including the most naughty one, Suigetsu, the most naughty one, whose expression became serious. After hearing Kimimaro's words, they immediately looked to Shimura Teru for confirmation.

Shimura Teru put down the half-drinked tea cup, glanced at Kimimaro who was thinking sharply and sighed.

Shimura Teru never mentioned this matter to Kimimaro, but Kimimaro guessed it through some subtle observations. In terms of observation ability, Kimimaro is indeed amazing.

"Yes, I am indeed leaving Kirigakure Village in two days."

He originally planned to tell these children about his departure within the next two days, but now that Kimimaro has brought it up, Shimura Teru has announced it directly.

"Is Master Yasuo leaving the village temporarily? Master Yasuo also left the village from time to time in the past. He will be back soon." Bai said with a stiff smile on his face, but the target of this sentence was not only those around him. Partner, it seems to be the same thing he said to himself.

"No, Shiro. I may leave for a long time this time, or I may come back after several years." Shimura Teru's words broke Shiro's last hope.

"Yasuo! Why don't you leave Kirigakure Village? Wouldn't it be nice to live here?" Ghost Light Suigetsu slapped the table and looked at Shimura Teru angrily, feeling dissatisfied with Shimura Teru's departure.

Shimura Teru naturally knew that Gui Deng Suiyue would not let him go, and he also had some feelings for this place in his heart.But for his own future, and the future of Kimimaro and others, Shimura Teru must return to Konoha!

"Suigetsu, I'm sorry, I have a reason to leave." Shimura Teru reached out to touch Suigetsu's head, but the angry Suigetsu slapped his hand away.

Shimura Teru shook his head and let the other party calm down for the time being.

"Lord Yasuo, I am willing to leave Kirigakure Village with you." Kimimaro stood up without any hesitation, stating that he wanted to leave the village with Teru Shimura.

"Kimimaro, you are different from me. Your roots are in Kirigakure Village. You are a ninja from Kirigakure Village. You should know the nature of your leaving the village, right?" Shimura Teru said.

Kimimaro untied the Mist ninja forehead protector tied to his arm, and stretched out a slender and sharp bone spur from his palm, about to leave the mark of rebellion on the forehead protector.

"Snapped!"

Shimura Teru grabbed Kimimaro's wrist with one hand and said in a serious voice, "Kimimaro! What are you going to do? You are betraying your village!"

Kimimaro looked at Shimura Teru expressionlessly and said: "The Kaguya clan was destroyed by the Kirigakure Village during the blood mist period, and my life was saved by Yasuo-sama. I have no feelings for the village, and I want to follow It doesn’t matter if you are being used as a tool by Yasuo-sama’s side.”

Kimimaro wanted to tell Shimura Teru through this move that he wanted to follow the other person's will.Even if he dies, Kimimaro will die for Shimura Teru, because the current Shimura Teru is the meaning of his life.

Shimura Teru's eyes widened, and he was also shocked by what Kimimaro said.

He also knew very well that the problem with Kimimaro's mentality at this time was exactly the same as Kimimaro in the original work. He had no will to live for himself and only dedicated his body and mind to the person who gave him hope.If there is a difference, it is that the person Kimimaro dedicated changed from Orochimaru to himself.

Shimura Teru had a headache now. He definitely did not take Kimimaro with him when he acted now.But there is no point in reasoning and discussing philosophy with the current Kimimaro. This child has already got into trouble.

So Shimura Teru decided to use the trick of deception against Kimimaro.

Shimura Teru let go of Kimimaro's wrist, patted his hand on Kimimaro's shoulder and said, "Kimimaro, I don't want to take you with me. You are too weak now and are not qualified to stand by my side."

"In this case, Kimimaro has no reason to exist anymore..." Kimimaro's eyes darkened, and he stretched out the bone blade with both hands to kill himself.

"Wait!" Shimura Teru broke into a cold sweat. He didn't expect Kimimaro to be so extreme. He wanted to commit suicide as soon as he said he wouldn't take him with him. Are all people in the Hokage so extreme?

Kimimaro stopped moving and looked at Shimura Teru.

Shimura Teru sighed and said: "You can stay with me if you want. Just make yourself stronger and upgrade your ninja title to Kirigakure Jounin first. If you are already qualified when I come back in the future, I’ll take you with me,”

Kimimaro frowned, obviously unwilling to accept Shimura Teru's decision not to take him with him this time.

"I saved your life. I didn't let you die. You can't abandon it lightly. Before I come back, you must cherish the life I gave you." Shimura Teru felt that the heat was not enough and said again.

Kimimaro was silent for a moment, then tied the forehead protector to his left arm again and said, "I understand, Lord Yasuo."

Shimura Teru secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Kimimaro finally stopped working.

Seeing this, Minazuki Shiro and Kito Suigetsu also knew that Shimura Teru was deceiving Kimimaro, but they did not tell him.Let's not talk about whether Kimimaro's stubborn mind will believe it, and they think that Kimimaro has a hope and can continue to live as a ninja of Kirigakure Village.

Both Minazuki Shiro and Onito Suigetsu were concerned, but there was no way to ask Kimimaro to leave with Shimura Teru.

Shiro's concern was Momochi Zabuza, who raised him, and Suigetsu's family relationship with the Oniden clan, so the two could only choose to remain silent.

But even if the two of them proposed to leave with Shimura Teru, Shimura Teru would not agree.He returned to the village to prepare for the possible annihilation of the Uchiha family. It was impossible for him to go on the road with a few small burdens.

Taking them with him will only drag him down, and more importantly, he may lose his life in vain, which is what Shimura Teru does not want to see.

Seeing that several people were in a very low mood, Shimura Teru was still very moved. It seemed that the three children also had deep feelings for him.

Shimura Teru knocked on the table to attract the attention of the three children, and then comforted: "There is no need to be downcast. It is not a separation of life and death. I will still come back after leaving the village. Don't make the atmosphere so sad."

After all, the three of them were still children, and with Shimura Teru's words to resolve the situation, they finally regained some of their mood.

Although they were reluctant to leave, the three children still silently accepted this fact.

After spending some time with the children of the Ghost Lantern Clan, Shimura Teru left the Ghost Lantern Clan's territory.

When Shimura Teru was walking on the streets of Kirigakure Village, a panicked Ao jumped down from the building above his head and approached Shimura Teru.

"It's not good, Master Yasuo, Master Mizukage, she passed out at home!" Qing said eagerly.

"What?!" Shimura Teru was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't care about what Ao wanted to say later, and quickly used the teleportation technique to rush to Terumi Mei's residence.

Just when Shimura Teru left with his teleportation technique, Qing's panicked expression changed instantly, revealing a lewd smile.
