Naruto hodgepodge

Chapter 89 Weathering with You

On the edge of a village shrouded in ancient legends, Yota was born into a family that has inherited the power of controlling nature from generation to generation. This family makes a living by selling unique weather phenomena, traveling between villages, bringing rain to farmlands that need rain, or dispelling the haze for celebrations that long for clear skies. Yota, as a rare genius in the family, has shown extraordinary sensitivity and precision in controlling the weather since he was a child. His existence seems to be the darling of the spirit of nature.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on souls endowed with extraordinary talents. Although Yota was gifted, he was born weak and sickly, as if his vitality was consumed by his endless talent. Although the family's medical skills and secret methods could temporarily relieve his pain, they could not reverse this predetermined fate. On an ordinary night, Yota's life flame quietly extinguished, leaving behind the mourning and endless regrets of the whole village.

As time went by, when Orochimaru came to Konoha again and got the lost notes of the Second Hokage on the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, his assistant Kabuto accompanied him to the resting place of Yota. Under the moonlight, the tombstone looked particularly deserted, but Orochimaru's eyes flashed with fanatical light. He obtained the reincarnation material from Yota's tomb, performed the Impure World Reincarnation Technique that had been improved countless times, extracted the pure soul and part of the vitality, and prepared to conduct an unprecedented experiment.

The subject of the experiment was an innocent child kneeling in front of him. Under the child's horrified gaze, Orochimaru performed the ritual coldly. Finally, he put his hands together to form the seal of the Impure World Reincarnation, using his life as a bridge to summon Yota's soul. But this time, unlike before, Yota's soul was not as empty and lifeless as those previous test subjects. His consciousness was clear and complete, as if he had just woken up from a long dream.

"Who are you? Are you the one who revived me?" Yota's voice was filled with confusion and curiosity. He looked down at his body, which was a familiar yet strange feeling. "But my body...is not really resurrected." He muttered to himself, and soon realized his situation.

Kabuto was standing by, witnessing all this, and was filled with shock and confusion. He looked at Orochimaru, trying to find the answer from his face. Orochimaru smiled and explained, "Kabuto, this is a major breakthrough in my Impure World Reincarnation Technique. Yota, as the first experiment to successfully retain consciousness, I will grant you a wish as a reward."

"Wish?... I want to have friends." Yota's answer was simple and pure, revealing his deep desire for warmth. Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a hint of complex emotions, and then he made a decision: "Then I will take you to Konoha Village, where you may find the friendship you desire."

Embarking on an unknown journey to Konoha, Orochimaru then sent Yota into Konoha through the weak part of Konoha's barrier, and Yota's figure gradually disappeared into the night. And Orochimaru, through a secretly following snake, continued to monitor all this, and he had already planned more plans in his mind.

The next afternoon, it was the free time for the Ninja School. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappling on a small forest on the edge of Konoha Village. Choji, Shikamaru, and Ino came here for daily training for the next week's shuriken results. While practicing throwing kunai, Choji accidentally lost a kunai that was of great significance to him. It was a kunai that his mother had specially chosen for him when he first entered the Ninja School.

"It should be nearby, why can't I find it?" Choji anxiously shuttled through the woods, frowning, his face full of disappointment. Shikamaru, on the other hand, looked calm and shrugged lightly: "Kunai, it's a consumable item, forget it if I can't find it." But then Choji's anxious eyes told him that this kunai was far from an ordinary thing.

Seeing this, Ino pushed Shikamaru's arm and said with a hint of reproach: "Choji is a good boy, let's accompany him to look for him." Although Shikamaru complained about the "trouble", he still joined the search.

However, things never go as planned. Just when the three of them were at a loss, the sky suddenly turned gloomy and a drizzle began to fall. Shikamaru looked up at the sky, confused: "Strange, the weather was fine, why did it change so suddenly?"

At this moment, in the drizzling curtain, a faint and sad cry quietly penetrated, like the most inconspicuous starlight in the night sky, but it was enough to attract the attention of all three people. They stopped at the same time, searching in the hazy rain curtain, and finally fixed on an old tree that seemed to be more and more crooked due to the wind and rain. The kunai that Choji lost, shining with cold light, was hanging on the treetop, and what was even more surprising was that a little boy of the same age was helplessly hanging on the tree trunk with his clothes tied by a kunai, and two other kunai were tied at the three corners of his clothes, and tears and rain were intertwined.

"Ah, my kunai!" Shikamaru exclaimed, feeling both surprised and a bit guilty.

Shikamaru frowned, his eyes full of confusion: "Why did that guy get hurt by your kunai...?"

Choji quickly explained: "My kunai rope may have accidentally caught on his clothes and pinned him... to the tree."

Ino was standing by, her mouth twitching slightly, feeling amused yet unable to help but worry: "How...how did you do it? This is incredible luck."

Shikamaru made a quick decision: "Let's not talk about this for now, we have to go up and help him."

Choji and Shikamaru looked at each other. Although they knew that they had not yet mastered the ninjutsu that would allow them to easily leap onto the treetops, they could not care less at the moment and could only bite the bullet and climb up the tree step by step. As Yota's cries began, the rain seemed to get heavier.

"But then I can get my kunai back." Choji muttered anxiously as he crawled.

However, due to their lack of experience, their attempts all ended in failure, with their feet slipping or their arms becoming weak, and they all fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, a corner of Yota's clothes was torn by a kunai, and the fear of being hung made his cries even more shrill, and the rain was getting heavier.

When they tried again, Choji and Shikamaru were more cautious, but the tree became more and more slippery, and Shikamaru slipped again. Although Choji managed to climb two meters higher, the tree could not bear the weight and began to shake under the heavy rain.

“Hey, wait…!” There was a hint of fear in Choji’s voice, but he was powerless to stop what was about to happen.

With a loud bang, the trees fell to the ground, and dust and rain mixed into a chaos. When the dust settled, I saw that Shikamaru was lying in front of Yota in a messy but determined manner. He had carefully taken away the kunai in his hand, relieving the boy of his predicament.

Yota looked at Shikamaru, who was covered in mud but smiling, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, he fell and was flattened!" This innocent smile seemed to have magical power, instantly dispelling the haze around him. Even the rain gradually stopped, revealing the long-lost sunshine.

Choji was infected by Yota's optimism and started to smile foolishly. The warm atmosphere between the two of them made Ino, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile as well.

Shikamaru stood aside, looking deeply at the sky, watching a yellow cloth with the words "Weather for Sale" falling beside him. He wondered in his heart, was this sudden rain and subsequent clear weather really related to this piece of cloth? Or was it just a coincidence?

Yota sat on a thick branch and leisurely introduced himself to Ino, Shikamaru and Choji: "I'm Yota."

Ino repeated curiously, "Yota? What a unique name."

Yota smiled and nodded, and Shikamaru said half-jokingly: "So you are a girl. This name sounds very gentle."

Yota quickly clarified: "No, I'm a boy. The name is just a code name. I am me."

Shikamaru chuckled, then asked, "You're not from Konoha, are you?"

Yota shook his head, "I'm not."

Ino asked, "Where are you from then? Is there a village?"

Yota's answer was somewhat mysterious: "From many places. I don't have a fixed village." He laughed and added, "No, never."

After hearing this, Ino asked worriedly, "Are you alone?" Shikamaru nodded in agreement.

Dingci thought of the recent affairs in the village and reminded: "We can't easily bring strangers back to the village, especially those who are not registered. The relationship between the villages is tense now, what if..."

Shikamaru nodded in agreement, "Yeah, someone like Yota might cause trouble in the village."

However, Yota didn't seem to care about it. He touched his stomach and smiled, "My stomach is empty."

Seeing this, the three of them took out rice balls, snacks and other delicious food to give to Yuta. Yuta ate it without hesitation, praising the deliciousness of the food while eating, which made Choji envious.

Soon, the food was swept away by Yu Tai, and he said with a smile, "I want more."

Shikamaru spread his hands helplessly: "There are no more." Choji also laughed and teased: "Yita is really greedy."

After hearing this, Yuta pursed his lips in grievance, tears welling up in his eyes: "I'm hungry, my stomach is growling, I want more."

Seeing this, Ino wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't help but tapped Yuta's head lightly with her fist: "Be obedient, it's gone, it's gone."

Unexpectedly, this action made Yuta cry even harder, and it suddenly started to rain heavily. Shikamaru said in surprise: "It's raining again. Wait, can Yuta's crying bring rain?"

Seeing this, Shikamaru said with empathy: "I understand how you feel, Yota. I am often laughed at because of my plump figure, but crying can't solve the problem." After saying that, he himself inexplicably shed tears.

Seeing this, Ino quickly apologized to Yota: "I'm sorry, Yota, I went too far." After saying that, she couldn't help crying.

Shikamaru watched this scene and started crying too: "What should I do? Why are we crying too? I'm not sad at all, but I just want to cry." He said to himself, "Could it be that I was really made to cry by Yuta?"

The rain was falling around the four of them, and they squatted in the rain and cried. Ino, the culprit, had no choice but to run back alone to find food. Then Shikamaru and Choji called out to Yota and followed Ino.

During the break, the campus was filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Students were either in groups of two or three, or alone enjoying this moment of tranquility. Sasuke, as always, was a maverick. He stood on the railing outside the teaching building, his back to the crowd, holding the rice ball tightly in his hand, and eating it carefully, fearing that someone would find out. On the other side, Sakura also found her own little world. She stood alone by the railing not far away, holding the hamburger that Naruto prepared for her, chewing it with big mouthfuls, and a happy smile on her face.

At this inadvertent moment, Sasuke's mouth was full of rice balls. When he turned his head and looked into the distance, his eyes happened to meet Sakura's. Both of them had their mouths full of food. Although this scene was a bit funny, it also made Sakura's cheeks flushed instantly. Although she was no longer Sasuke's pursuer, this sudden "tacit understanding" still made her heart beat faster and she felt shy.

Sakura quietly left the railing and rested against a big tree, looking around aimlessly. Suddenly, she found that Ino, Shikamaru and Choji were acting a little strangely. They seemed to be quietly "collecting" food from their classmates, and their movements were quick and secretive. Choji couldn't wait to taste the food he had snatched, but Ino slapped him lightly as a warning. The three of them talked in low voices, with a bit of mystery in their expressions, as if they were planning something.

Sakura's curiosity was aroused, and she decided to quietly follow the three people. The three people carried small bags full of food and walked all the way to the back mountain. Sakura kept a certain distance and followed carefully behind them, fearing that they would be discovered.

Finally, the three of them came to a hidden tree hole. There was a sign next to the hole that read "Weather for Sale", which was particularly eye-catching. Choji, Shikamaru, and Ino called out in unison: "Yota, it's us, come out!" As the voice fell, a figure poked out from the bushes. It was Yota. He happily responded to his friends' call and came out from the bushes.

As soon as Yota came down, he saw Sakura. He looked at Sakura curiously, and then he couldn't help but shout, "Wide forehead!" This name made Sakura frown slightly, but then she was attracted by the snowflakes falling from the sky. She looked up at the sky and was surprised to find that it was snowing, but the sun was still high, forming a rare "sun snow".

The three of them heard the noise behind them and turned around at the same time, their eyes falling on Sakura. There was a hint of doubt in Choji's eyes, and he asked, "Who are you...?" Ino immediately recognized Sakura and shouted in surprise, "Sakura? Why are you here?"

Yota was full of curiosity about this new friend. He circled around Sakura several times, repeating: "Wide forehead, wide forehead, wide forehead." This sentence made Sakura's cheeks slightly red. She retorted somewhat unhappily: "You, how can you laugh at other people's shortcomings?"

However, Yota didn't seem to understand Sakura's anger. He just shouted excitedly: "Snow snow snow, it's snowing!" Sakura was about to get angry, but suddenly she found that there were really snowflakes floating in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly, which made her stunned.

Choji also noticed this wonder. He exclaimed in surprise: "Sun snow? This is amazing!" Shikamaru joked: "It seems that Yota really likes you, Sakura. It snowed as soon as he came." Ino also joined in the joke. She smiled and said: "Yes, Yota especially likes your wide forehead."

After hearing this, Yota seemed even more proud. He said to Sakura playfully, "I'll support you!" Sakura was so amused that she reached out and pushed him away, asking, "You, who are you?"

Yota did not answer directly, but continued his "Snow Snow Snow" song. At the same time, the snowflakes in the sky became bigger and bigger, and soon the open space around the tree was covered with a layer of white carpet. Sakura looked at this world covered in silver, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared instantly.

The four of them started to play snowballs excitedly, and Sakura quickly integrated into this joyful group. Not only did she cooperate well with Ino, she also became familiar with Yota, Choji, and Shikamaru. Together they built snow forts, chased and played, and enjoyed the unique fun of winter.

However, as the snowflakes gradually stopped falling, Ino's mood became a little low. She felt a little disappointed that she had not given away the flowers she had intended to give to Naruto and Sasuke. Yota seemed to have sensed Ino's mood change, and the smile on his face also disappeared, and it even started to rain.

Seeing this, Ino did not hesitate. She quickly picked a flower and put it on Yota's head, rekindling Yota's smile with her warmth and love. Yota looked at Ino gratefully and said, "Ino, you are so kind." As Yota became happy, the sky cleared up again.

Sakura watched all this silently, feeling deeply moved. She thought to herself, "Ino is so proactive and thoughtful! She actually sent flowers to two people to comfort them."

At this moment, Yota noticed Sakura's gaze, and he asked with concern: "Sakura, are you happy? If you are happy, Yota will be happy too." Ino also asked curiously: "Sakura, what are you happy about?" Sakura quickly shook her head to deny it, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

Yota smiled at Sakura's smile. He pulled Ino to pick up a snowball and threw it at Sakura. Sakura knew it was a friendly joke between friends and dodged it with a smile. Choji sighed, "Yota's mood is really as changeable as the weather!" Shikamaru said humorously, "Yes, it rains when you are sad, and it snows when you are happy!"
