Naruto: The hardworking model who realizes his dream is actually the white moonlight of the ninja wo

Neji had never been one to eavesdrop on children's gossip.

Ninjas are considered adults at the age of sixteen.

When he was sixteen years old, he had already become a capable jonin.

But shortly afterwards, the name Hyuga Neji was removed from the list of jonin and moved to the memorial tablet in Konoha.

This body of mine is now exactly sixteen years old.

At the same time, it also means that he has lived here for five years with the body of a sixteen-year-old.

How could Xiaonan not notice it?

Adhering to the principle that a sixteen-year-old jonin is already a mature adult, Neji slowed down his pace to give enough privacy to the three children who were whispering in his ear in front of him.

No matter what they said, Neji couldn't hear it.

He would not roll his eyes and pry into children's personal privacy.

Although, Neji could clearly sense that the main topic of the children's whispers was most likely about him.

"002, display the mission objectives."

After hearing about the long five years, Neji decided to get to work.

002 is not a system that always talks about missions. Apart from sounding the alarm when the mission target and related characters appear, it will never appear without Ningci's active trigger.

In a sense, he is still a quiet person.

"Target: Nagato, Yahiko, Konan."

"Task requirements: unknown."

"Mission steps: unknown."

Why do you think being taciturn can be equated with being reliable?

It seemed like my brain had run away from home without telling its owner.

When 002 was silent, Neji unexpectedly had the illusion that the other party was reliable.

But now it seems that this thing has nothing to do with reliability.

"Estimated time to receive the mission request: unknown."

There is absolutely no need to say the last sentence!

This is just an unreliable guy who thought about it and decided to tell the whole world that he is unreliable!

Neji was at a loss for words, but he felt that this kind of loss for words was extremely familiar.

It seems that when facing the system, the only correct way to deal with it is to be speechless.

"That's it. Do you understand, Nagato?"

Nagato nodded hesitantly. She understood what Yahiko said, but it was not an exaggeration to say that she did not understand either.

What do you mean there is actually another Nora?

Indeed, whether it was Nagato or the man who had just caused trouble, the area where they were active was some distance away from the Nora residential area.

It is understandable that you don’t understand this.

"The fact that we were stopped by someone means that we have come a long way."

"At least the people living here should not be the residents of the previous area."

Yahiko should have sensed something was wrong when he said this.

Nagato clenched his fists and felt a tiny bit of warmth on the side of his calves, the temperature of life.

Just by surviving in an area, one can become known to everyone.

No wonder Konan still had the leisure to laugh at Yahiko's strange posture after seeing the ninjas from the Rain Village.

The man just now is no match for Nora.

But even with such a powerful person around them, Konan and Yahiko knew very little about ninjutsu.

Just like Nagato's initial doubts, Nora clearly has the ability to make their lives better, but they are still living in hardship and misery.

"This is because..."

Nagato couldn't forget Konan's pretentiousness - the girl's cuteness was only part of it.

What is even more unforgettable are the girl’s calm and relaxed words.

"Because Nagato is family now, too."

"So there are things that need to be told to Nagato."

If Nagato didn't know, and only she and Yahiko knew, then Nagato would be a little too pitiful.

"Cough cough!"

This is Yahiko, setting the mood.

The boy and girl's behavior could barely be called a serious topic - at least Nagato thought it was serious.

Pushing in the direction of jokes.

"There are two Nora!"

Xiaonan smiled and told the answer.

"Will they appear alternately, with the timing and frequency gradually changing?"

At the beginning, Nora was a "madman".

And now Nora is a reliable adult.

Nora probably has no memory of fighting against foreign enemies with them now, Konan thought.

But she and Yahiko did.

What was the first time for Nora was not their first time.

The so-called reliance and trust are consolidated through repeated common experiences.

When fear completely disappears, it also means that a miracle has happened.

Neji's black hair gradually turned into a gentle brown color under the sun in the rain.

As long as he turned his head and looked at them, Xiaonan would be able to find his place in those white eyes.

This is Yeliang who can see them.

There are also Nora who can't see them.

"But no matter which Nora-nii shows up, I don't care."

Xiaonan smiled and put his hands behind his back.

She was now wearing the straw raincoat woven by Ningji and a tailor-made hat, and she walked in two or three steps to a position half a step in front of the two men.

No matter which Nora it is, it's him.

Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, their getting along had long been close to instinct.

A girl who has not yet fully become a human, and a boy who has retained his human instincts.

There is no packaging or covering, only the most primitive empathy and the hope of survival.

"But I still think that Nora-nii is better now."

Yahiko held the back of his head, and Konan could guess what he was thinking without even having to think.

"Knowing everything, knowing everything..."

“Powerful and gentle at the same time.”

Most importantly, maybe I can teach them ninjutsu.

Nora, in this state, has never appeared for more than a day.

And now, it has lasted for six full days.

Konan and Yahiko both knew the answer.

The Nora that I first met, no, it was the state of Nora.

There is a high probability that he will not come back.

Yahiko was a book lover, and whenever he could go out on the street, he was always keen to dig out something from the trash can to read.

In troubled times, spiritual food such as books is in a stage of polarization.

Some books are priceless, while others are thrown everywhere due to house relocation or owner's death - and you may only see one book every two weeks.

Most of these flying around are children's picture books, but sometimes you can see some good stuff.

For example, handwritten materials on popular science on psychology.

It was a manuscript that had long been soaked by the rain and scattered in a remote alley.

There weren't many recognizable words in it - and there were some that Yahiko didn't recognize.

He didn't have the habit of taking books home - even if he did, he had no place to put them.

The house is bare, with neither a room filled with objects nor a room with no space to fill it with objects.

Besides, no one would take the book away even if it was left there.

What is left at this time are all worthless things like them.

Yahiko remembered that the book told the story of a big black dog.

Some black dogs will eat people's memories.

But later, I will think of it again.

Some black dogs will eat people's perception of the outside world, but when the black dog walks away, it will spit out this perception and return it to the owner.

Some black dogs like to go out and play. When they go out to play, they spit out the things they don’t need in their mouths. When they have played enough, they come back and eat them again.

Now, the black dog has gone away.

It no longer pesters Brother Nora, nor does it force the title of "madman" on Nora's head.

What a great thing this is.

Then Yahiko smiled and said to Nagato:

"But Nagato will probably never see another Nora-nii-san!"

What a great thing.

The black dog that had suffocated its owner left, but the gentle and strong Nora brother stayed.

But after hearing this, Nagato had completely different thoughts from Yahiko.

He had not read the manuscript.

He didn't know the story of the black dog.

He is a new kid.

Nagato had really never seen the other Nora that Konan and Yahiko talked about.

He couldn't understand Nagato and Konan's happiness - even the reason why they smiled could only be presented as flat words in his mind.

Similarly, Yahiko and Konan could not understand Nagato's helplessness and confusion at this moment.

The understanding and empathy between them are all based on experience and the retrieval of their own experiences.

I've been through it, so I can barely understand it.

I've been through something similar, so I can understand it by analogy.

But now, everything is back to zero.

All that was left for Nagato was an ambiguous sound coming from his throat: "Hmm."

The young man, who was enveloped in the sun, turned his head and looked towards them.

"Beep beep beep."

It is the system alarm.

"The mission requirements have been updated, please check in time."
