Opening: Minato became my brother

Her stomach rumbled and after walking for a while, Yue Le felt a little tired.

Walking slowly on the empty streets, a bright moon hangs high in the sky above my head, stars are twinkling in the cloudless night sky, and the brilliant Milky Way is like a gorgeous band of light across the sky, shining brightly, and the silver light covers the earth like a veil.

At this moment, everything was silent, and even the faint chirping of insects could be clearly heard.

As Yue Le walked, he looked towards the Konoha Village that had already fallen asleep, and sighed softly...

"Ugh……"

Yue Le actually understood that at this point in time, how could there still be shops open for business...

Actually there are some, but those are shops that only open late at night, and Yue Le can’t get in!

He... is underage...

Full of resentment, uncle, I really just want to go in and eat something...

.....

The night was already deep, and Yue Le was wandering in the streets of Konoha Village like a ghost.

At this moment, he jumped lightly, and after a few ups and downs, he landed steadily on the roof of a house.

I didn't care whether the roof was clean or not and just lay down on it. It was the first wonderful night after my recovery.

The breeze blew slowly, gently ruffling the strands of hair on his forehead, letting them flutter freely. At this moment, feeling this precious quiet time, Yue Le's original idea of ​​looking for delicious food disappeared in an instant.

A few sparse lights are dotted throughout the Konoha Village, and the surrounding is filled with a peaceful, harmonious, warm and friendly atmosphere.

The bright moon hanging high in the night sky is like a silver plate, casting down light as soft and bright as water. The night breeze caresses all things in the world as gently as grandma's hand, bringing people the freshness and moisture unique to the night.

"Mom... Konoha is pretty good, I kind of like it here..."

During this moment of distraction, Yue Le seemed to blend into this quiet night.

"Perhaps, this is the place that Grandpa and the teacher want to protect."

Suddenly, Yue Le sat up and looked towards a place not far away with some confusion. There was a familiar breath approaching there.

"Hey... I've been looking for you for a while, and finally you're here!"

The person had not arrived yet, but the voice had already reached Yue Le's ears.

"Minato? Why are you here?"

"You're not sleeping at night and you're running around."

"You're not! I even went there specially, but the uncle said you ran away. Hey, it took me a long time to find you."

"Looking for me..."

Before Yue Le could finish his words, Minato mysteriously took out a package from behind him.

He carefully opened the package, and inside was an exquisite lunch box with a small simple portrait of Minato on it. It was obviously a gift from Kushina to Minato!

I really wanted to complain, but the moment Minato opened the lid of the lunch box, an enticing aroma hit my nose.

Yue Le swallowed his saliva and took a closer look. The lunch box was filled with all kinds of delicacies: golden and crispy tempura, tender and juicy barbecue, crispy and delicious fried chicken...

Every piece of food was neatly arranged, almost filling up all the space in the lunch box.

"Eat quickly! I specifically asked Uncle Nan, and he said that your body has fully recovered today. But according to the original plan, you still have to rest for two more days."

At this point, Minato chuckled.

"With your personality, you definitely can't stay still, so I thought of bringing you some delicious food. Who knew you would be so quick..."

While muttering to himself, he handed the food and cutlery to Yue Le, and kept urging him to enjoy it while it was hot.

Yue Le looked at the lunch box in her hand silently, feeling a little dazed.

At this moment, several familiar voices suddenly came.

"Hey, you guys are here!"

"Why are you here too?"

“You are the only one allowed to come?”

"That's right, we heard everything Uncle Nan said today."

Suddenly, it became lively...

Kushina, Hyuga Hisaha and Shizune came towards the sound, each of them holding a carefully wrapped bag in their hands.

Looking at the food in front of her, Yue Le didn't know what to say. It was already one o'clock, and the last lights in the surrounding houses were extinguished in the dark night.

The food, still steaming, was placed in front of him.

Suddenly, Yue Le felt a little wet in the corners of her eyes, as if she was not so hungry anymore...

As if something heavy was buried in his heart, he smiled, immediately lowered his head, and ate the food in front of him in big mouthfuls.

"Hey, Yuele, you're not crying because you're so moved!"

"No! I haven't eaten normal food in too long!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Yuele, don't worry. You haven't eaten for such a long time. You need to let your stomach and intestines adapt! You can't eat so fast!"

"We are still quiet and gentle~"

"W-what......"

The night in Konoha Village was exceptionally quiet, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water, as if covering the entire village with a layer of silver yarn. In a corner of the village, on the roof of a house that had long been darkened, five children "grew" out.

At this moment, no one cared whether there was dust on the roof. They stretched their bodies lazily and quietly enjoyed this rare quiet moment. No one spoke, only the breeze gently brushed across their cheeks, bringing a slight cool feeling.

However, such moments are always short-lived. Everyone knows that tomorrow, they will have to return to their busy lives and practice.

Minato, Kushina and Hisahi will continue to train with teacher Jiraiya while also carrying out various dangerous missions.

Shizune will learn medical ninjutsu from Tsunade, and her goal is to become an excellent medical ninja.

As for Yue Le, he will return to the darkness and carry out those unknown tasks.

Yue Le knew very well that someone had to do these things. Although he felt disgusted with the blood and violence deep down, he never resisted. Someone had to do it. Since he could do it, he should not let Minato and the others know.

He relaxed his body, changed his posture and lay on the roof, slightly tilting his head to look at his friends who were enjoying a moment of peace around him.

In fact, Shuimen and his companions also vaguely knew what Yue Le's usual tasks were like, but everyone had their own choices. They also knew that for Yue Le, the only thing they needed to do was to give him an arm to lean on when he wanted to rest.

Friends are like life-saving straws, supporting Yue Le from being swallowed by darkness.

When he closed his eyes, a scarlet swamp appeared in his mind. Under the swamp, there were countless wronged souls and evil spirits trying to pull Yue Le into the endless abyss.

It was the warm light radiating from the friends around him that turned into tough chains and fetters, tightly holding Yue Le, like anchors, allowing him to always stay awake and prevent him from sinking completely.

Friend... A faint red light flashed in his eyes. Yue Le's body had shown some irreversible effects after a long period of high differentiation, but no one knew about it yet, not even the research department had discovered it.

The results show that everything is normal...
