Konoha's Thunder Flash Qingyu

Qingyu opened the felt and walked out of the tent. Both of his calves were covered with cool plasters, but he still felt a burning pain. The injured blood vessels seemed to be bulging in waves, and it was also accompanied by a slight stinging sensation like countless needle pricks.

Because of this pain, he suffered in the tent for half a night. After all, he couldn't sleep, so he walked out.

"Hiss" He just took a few steps, and the multiple and superimposed pain made him gasp. In desperation, he could only shorten his steps and walk forward slowly.

This is a location deeper in the forest, and all the trees within a few meters of the surrounding area have been cleared to serve as a campsite for everyone. A light mist shrouded the deeper parts of the forest, which was eerie and dark. From time to time, the cry of nighthawks could be heard in the distance, which was enough to make one's heart tremble.

Qingyu walked around to the back of the tent and saw a fire flashing not far away. The orange light was clearly distinguishable from the darkness of the deep forest.

"I wonder who is on duty at night" he muttered and walked over.

Beyond the big tree blocking the way ahead, a delicate figure was sitting in front of him with his back to him. Although he was sitting in front of the fire, his back against the light seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of ink-like shadow, heavy, dark, and depressing.

Tsunade sat with her hands on her knees, her round chin resting on her knees, her eyes unblinking as she stared at the light and shadow shaking on the ground, in a daze. Two water lines traced down the corners of her eyes, glowing crystal clear in the firelight.

"teacher"

Qingyu shouted behind her, not loudly, but enough to bring her back to reality.

Tsunade's eyes regained clarity, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and then said angrily without looking back: "Why are you here if you don't go to bed?"

The voice contained a strong nasal sound, panicked and hoarse.

Qingyu paused slightly, his eyes flashed, and he walked forward and sat next to Tsunade, saying distressedly: "My legs hurt too much, I can't sleep."

Tsunade was about to drive him back no matter what he said. She was startled when she heard this and looked at his legs. A slightly astringent and irritating medicinal smell poured into her nose, and a layer of gel like honey poured into her nose. Plaster is applied on it. The greasy amber light deeply pierced her heart and soul, like a sharp kunai, shooting out quickly, forcibly piercing the dark world that trapped her, causing her to completely wake up from the gloomy painful memories. Come over and think of everything the little boy in front of you has done before.

This was the first time she had experienced this double tingling sensation sandwiched between the past and the present. Her nerves, which had been numbed by alcohol for a long time, seemed to have revived again, becoming extremely clear and feeling the pain deeply. Make her realize that she is still alive and not a walking corpse.

Qingyu glanced at her expression, and her slightly red eyes were still shining with clear water. .. He suddenly understood what Tsunade was thinking, so he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent and turned his eyes to the other side.

He was not good at comforting people. When the urge to speak reached his lips, he realized that he had no idea what to say, so he could only remain silent. This is also a shortcoming of adult thinking. If he is not reborn with the memory of his previous life, but is just a child who is the same inside and outside, he may be able to ask frankly what is on his mind instead of remaining silent.

For a while, neither of them spoke. The fire made a slight crackling sound from time to time. The long hiss of a wild wolf came from the distant mountain forest. The stars twinkled in the sky. The tranquility of the mountain forest blended people into it, and the inner lake became silent. Wave.

"why"

Tsunade's slightly deeper voice sounded.

"Well, why?" Qingyu turned around and asked in confusion.

Tsunade suddenly raised her head, looked at him with tearful eyes, and asked again: "Why do you have to stop those two people alone? The other party's power is obviously greater than yours. Why do you have to do it so dangerously? If you are not careful, It’s a matter of losing one’s life.”

The words became more urgent as they went on, like a question that had been hidden for a long time but had no answer from the depths of his heart.

Qingyu was slightly stunned, and then said calmly without hesitation: "Some things have to be done by someone. In that case, whoever is more capable will go."

Tsunade didn't expect his answer to be so straightforward, but the simple words were like a pebble falling into her anger, making her mind flash like lightning, breaking away the thick haze, and the frank and frank words continued to echo. Plain words.

In a daze, when the two people in her memory said similar words in front of her, their faces were equally frank and without hesitation.

She lowered her eyelids and let her bangs cover half of her face. After a while, she pursed her lips and continued to ask: "Aren't you scared? Why don't you run away? I remember you said before that practicing hard is to travel around the world." It’s time to save your life.”

A strange look appeared on Qingyu's face. What he said before was half true and half false. Even he had forgotten it. He didn't expect that Tsunade would remember it.

He couldn't figure out what Tsunade was thinking, but his emotions seemed to be infected by the silent atmosphere. He didn't think about prevarication, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He turned his head, looked at the fire, and whispered: "It's true to save one's life, and it's true to be afraid, but as I said before, some things must be done. Whoever is more capable will go, and you can't escape if you can't. Because some things are more important than life and death. "

"What is it?" Tsunade asked, looking up with eager eyes.

"Comrade." Qingyu turned his head and looked at her sincerely, "I said that I would use my strength to protect the people I value. Compared to this, fear is not important... Besides, I am Those who are prepared will never die.”

These words were not false, but he didn't think so much at the time, everything was a subconscious action. He has always had revenge as his main goal. After achieving his goal, there are still many things he wants to do, so in that situation, the most important thing should be to save his life. But sometimes, once a person is in that environment, the body and brain will react in ways that are inconsistent with their usual behavior. It seems strange, but when I think about it later, I won’t regret it.

Human beings are inherently creatures driven by emotions. Unless they are ruthless and righteous, they may be able to make the most accurate self-interested decisions at all times, but this is difficult.

"Ha" Tsunade let out a long breath, raised her cheeks, and blinked her eyes. After a while, she lowered her head with a bright smile on her face.

Seeing that her mood seemed to be much better, Qingyu smiled slightly and immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Teacher, were you crying just now? Why?"

Of course he understood the source of Tsunade's sadness, but he naturally needed to ask again in case he acted too calmly in the future and made people feel strange.

Tsunade did not answer immediately, a look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes. After a while, she looked at him and said softly: "Let me tell you two stories."

"Okay, okay, I like listening to stories the most." Qingyu said excitedly.

As the mountains became deeper and deeper, Qingyu added some firewood, making the fire brighter and dispelling all the chill. In the silence, just as Qingyu expected, Tsunade told the story of her lover Dan and her younger brother Naoki.

After a long time, Tsunade finished speaking, looked at the fire and asked suddenly: "Do you want to become Hokage?"

"I don't want to." Qingyu thought for a while, shook his head, and expressed his thoughts truthfully.

Tsunade was also slightly stunned, because in Konoha, there are a lot of kids of this age shouting to become Hokage every day. Although there are different ones like Aoba, there are not many.

She forced a smile and agreed: "It's okay not to want to be Hokage. You have more mature ideas than your peers, so you think the idea of ​​becoming Hokage is stupid."

The reasons in his words were not so much Qingyu's thoughts, but perhaps more like he was looking for them to convince himself.

"Well, that's not the reason. I just feel that being Hokage is very tiring, so I don't want to be." Qingyu said frankly.

Tsunade didn't expect that his reason was this, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but she quickly put it aside and continued without thinking about it: "Then do you think it is stupid to be the Hokage? For this It’s a boring thought and it’s not worth sacrificing your life.”

Sister, why bother? Is it useful to find a bunch of reasons to numb yourself? Qingyu cursed in his heart.

In the past, he really didn't want to care about Tsunade's self-deceptive thoughts, but now that he has been with her for a while, she is pretty good to him, and there really is a bit of a master-disciple relationship between the two. , so he decided to intervene.

He pretended to be silent for a while, until Tsunade got no response and looked back at him, he said with a heavy tone: "Teacher, the two people in the story you told should be the most important people to you."

Tsunade didn't reveal her relationship with the two, so Aoyu could only say this.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then said in a confused tone: "Have you guessed it?"

"Yes." Qingyu nodded slightly and continued: "Although I really want to agree with you, teacher, I don't want to tell lies to comfort you, so what I want to say is that I think the teacher's two relatives, they The idea is good, the approach is good, and it’s not stupid.”

His words made Tsunade's emotions rise instantly. She said angrily: "Why, this is the stupidest idea at all. I lost my life for it. The Hokage is the stupidest."

Qingyu looked at her and said calmly: "We won't discuss whether it is stupid to be Hokage or not, but I really think they are all very determined people."

"It's a stupid idea in the first place, what's the use of being firm"

Qingyu exhaled, lay down on the grass, and said: "Teacher, I told you that my mother died to protect me, right?"

Tsunade was slightly startled and looked at him in confusion.

Qingyu continued: "She died to protect me. Her idea was to hope that I could have a happy and safe life, so my mother is great. I don't think there is anything wrong with her idea. Similarly, the two teachers The important person's idea is to be Hokage. The form is not important. What is important is that their idea is to be able to protect the village so that the people in the village can no longer suffer disasters and have a happy life. This is the key. They do this for He worked hard from beginning to end and did not change his mind even before the sacrifice.

"Such an idea is not stupid. I think it is also a great dream. My mother wants me to live a good life, so I will practice this and be proud of it. Similarly, since teachers are their relatives, The important thing is to carry on their dream and be proud of it.

Listening to his words, a look of pain appeared on Tsunade's face, but she still said coldly: "Haha, even if they all sacrificed, do they still have to be proud of this?"

Qingyu didn't take it seriously and continued: "Of course, as I said before, there is something more important than life and death, which is to protect the people you value. The two relatives of the teacher value the people of the village, so This is what they consider more important than life and death, and they will not regret it even if they die.

"Teacher, everything you said is deceiving yourself and others, just to find a reason for your pain and cowardice."

"Stop talking," Tsunade suddenly said angrily, "You don't know anything at all."

"I know." Qingyu stood up suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, and his voice was cold and authentic: "Self-deception not only denies the meaning of their existence during their lifetime, but also insults the dream they pursue throughout their lives. As their most important My dear, teacher, you are wrong."

The plain words spoke loudly, and Tsunade's eyes widened, as if struck by thunder. No one has ever criticized her thoughts from this perspective like Qingyu in the most straightforward and clear words. It was like the most precise scalpel, going straight into her heart and soul, cutting her heart open again, allowing her to face the pain. , allowing the long-closed heart to face the bloody truth again.

This time the pain was more intense than before, like a flame more powerful than the bonfire in front of her, burning away the words she had used to deceive herself for a long time. The burning sting made her whole body tremble, and tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.

After Qingyu finished speaking, he felt a sense of sadness when he thought about himself, so he sat down again and stared blankly at the shaking shadows on the ground. Even the pain in his legs had long been forgotten.

After sobbing softly for a long time, Tsunade's hunched shoulders gradually calmed down. She raised her head, letting her scattered hair be stained with tears. Her beautiful face was sad and beautiful. She looked at the firelight. After finally sighing for a long time, she smiled miserably to herself. Said: "Broken, rope tree, sorry."

Then she turned her head to look at Qingyu who was in a trance, shook her head, and smiled softly: "Little guy, you are such a cruel Ci Feng."

Suddenly, she raised her hands and placed them on the little boy's legs. A flash of green light suddenly lit up, so real and distinct in the dim firelight here.

Qingyu immediately felt that the cells in his legs became active, and the stinging sensation of the plaster became more intense. He immediately withdrew his eyes and looked at Tsunade's actions in great surprise. The warm green light, full of rich freshness, made his legs recover faster.

Palm magic

"Teacher, what are you doing?" Qingyu just wanted to ask a question, but he immediately screamed out. The active cells absorbed the medicine at a faster speed, and the stinging sensation of the needle was also stronger.

A soft smile appeared on the corner of Tsunade's lips, and then she pretended to be sullen and said solemnly: "Bear it, don't scream, otherwise you will wake them up."

Qingyu quickly covered his mouth, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, so waves of suppressed low roars came from the forest, which continued for a long time.
