deep clouds and thick fog

Rin is depressed.

So melancholy that I wanted to burn Konoha with a fire.

He's unwell (?) yes, but definitely not incapable of fighting.Whether it was Gabriel Yunshou many years ago or the current leader of Anbu, he is the Rin Gabriel who is active in the front line of battle and defeats all powerful enemies.

Ah, by the way, he is not the leader of Anbu now.

Mitarai Saki, that bastard, dared to apply to Sandai for retirement on his behalf, and Sandai agreed.Rin who heard the news almost didn't go berserk, but he nailed the purple-red haired man to the wall with one bone.

"Who gave you permission to make decisions for me?"

Sneering at the silver-haired young man who said this, his complexion was as pale as paper. Mitarai Saki knew that he would experience the same pain every day when he obtained the bone veins, but he never said it, and his eyes with lake light became deeper and clearer ——It seems that the flame that is about to burn out is trying its best to shine the last time.

This is very worrying.

The third general Tsunade also invited back, but the medical ninja shook his head after the examination, saying that he was terminally ill and hopeless.Mitarai Saki didn't know who the anger at that moment was aimed at. Was it Tsunade who couldn't save the patient's life with his straightforward words, or Rin who didn't cherish herself, or... herself who was powerless in the face of this situation?

In a trance, I remembered that many years ago, he rushed to take Lie but was a step late, and watched the silver-haired child turn into a bone monster—it was his own fault, if he could move faster, if he could stop it, then now won't...

"Are you an idiot? Take everything on yourself, stop talking nonsense."

Spit at Mitarai Saki's self-blame, he was peeling an apple with his finger bones, Mitarai Saki looked terrified.

"Rin, it's better not to use the bone vein, that thing..."

"Don't order me." Rin Kacha took a bite out of the man's face as he lifted his finger bone and threw it into the trash can casually, feeling that it was not tasty.

...You self-centered second-year middle school student!

The furious Mitarai Saki rushed forward, intending to use violence to wake up the second-year youth.It's a pity that Rin's force value should not be underestimated even when he was ill. He kicked down and stepped on Mitarai Saki's shoulder with a sneer on his face.

"Hmph, have you grown up? Do you want me to do it?"

Mitarai Saki struggled a few times, but the strength on her shoulders did not decrease but increased, so she just lay there, staring at her nominal brother.

"Rin..." His voice trembled a little, "I really...don't want to see you die..."

This proud, bad-tempered guy has never been nice to him, and he speaks in a vicious manner. When he is in a bad mood, he will throw a knife at him, drag him out and beat him like a sandbag... But even so, this guy, He is Mitarai Saki's younger brother.

He will stand in the middle of the enemy and talk wildly together, he will lead him to special training with an impatient expression, he will say that you will die if you dare to bully Rie, and he will show a faint smile at Hongdou...

As soon as he thought that this radiant and arrogant person would die, he felt uncontrollably uncomfortable.

The man who was no longer young shook his arms and embraced the young man's shoulders, and finally shed tears silently.And Rin, who always hated other people's contact, surprisingly didn't throw him out, showing a bit of bewilderment in his expression.

"Weak to death, are you going to cry?"

In the end, he rudely patted Mitarai Saki on the head, and pushed the shameless guy away.With his back straight, he lowered his eyelids to gaze at the first person in this world who reached out to him.

Even though I'm offended by his ignorance and playfulness, anyway...

Rin would never recognize his identity as that damn brother.

"Everyone is going to die. I'm just ahead of schedule." He said slowly, calmly and calmly.Seeing that Mitarai Saki seemed to be about to say something, he cast a cold look, and the corners of his mouth raised into a half-smile.

"Don't think you are sorry for me. Is your head full of thin and fast-flowing paste? You have to take care of yourself. If you have that free time, you should hurry up and practice your terrible skill, so weak , it doesn't matter if you die, Hongdou and Rie will be sad."

Mitarai Saki still couldn't let it go, the sad face made people feel uncomfortable no matter how she looked, Rin finally followed her inner impulse to beat him up, and then asked Rie to take her annoying husband away.

Rie, who looked a little haggard, looked at Mitarai Saki with a bruised nose and a swollen face, while Rin picked up a book and lay on the bed looking at it.

"take a good rest."

She said that when she and her husband left and closed the door of the ward, she clearly heard a word coming from inside.

"Don't underestimate me... It's a shame to die of illness or something."

It's really... Tsundere is really not your characteristic, Rin.

But if you say that, you don't want to bow to this disease, right? It's not like you, a fighting madman, to linger on the sick bed and die—so you will work hard to survive, right?

The dark-haired woman's eyes were a little moist, she smiled and said "I believe in you", and then gently closed the door.

I believe you.

So, please don't lose to that disease.

********

So Konoha Rin spent 40 years on vacation.

Although he is a patient, Konoha Medical cannot treat him, so he can only let him go.And Rin simply packed up and went home, drove away Rie who wanted to stay with him to take care of him, and started living alone in the house—Rie gave up after insisting on this for a while, she understood, anyway, with Rin's current status quo, either It's just an insignificant pain, or it's just dying.The former Rie knows that Rin absolutely does not want anyone to see the scene at that time, while the latter, Rie bitterly thinks that even if she is there, there is nothing she can do.

Soon the second year will come, Lin's house can no longer be lived, and he feels that if this continues, he will be destroyed.The current identity is Konoha Chunin, he ran to the third generation to make a fuss, it's not a trouble, but he just asked for a bunch of tasks - of course, the third generation is very measured, and all the tasks are very easy.

As a result, Rin was immediately discouraged and lost the interest in going out to find someone to fight.He didn't want to do a small case of catching cats and dogs, so he started to practice catching people all over the leaves.

This time Konoha's ninjas have all suffered. Although Rin currently holds the title of Chunin, how could it be the idlers who will be found by Rin as opponents?He is strong and naturally knows that this is the leader of Konoha former Anbu. Even if he can't use the bone veins now, he is still a good hand in close combat.

His nose is bruised and his face is swollen from being beaten, damn it!Being beaten up like that and having to endure the second-year illness, the young man said he was so weak with an unhappy face, damn it!Damn, labor and capital are weak, so don't ask labor and capital to play a second game!It's not that labor and management can't stand you, a ghost animal S! Hey!

For a while, complaints about Rin appeared frequently in the third generation, and in the last three generations, in order to avoid the occurrence of "all capable ninjas were beaten to hospital beds in a short period of time and no one was working", they decided to find a job for Rin.

And this good task that will not hurt Rin's muscles and bones, but also can pass his time, is——

Bring the kids!

...I made a mistake, so rewind it.

This glorious and great task is to become the leading teacher of Genin! (What is the difference from bringing children==)

Rin, who still doesn't know how rambunctious the children who are out of the fleshy body, readily agrees. He still thinks that all the children over ten years old are as obedient and obedient as his Moira, but fortunately, the group of children he accepts are still Be well-behaved, otherwise it's hard to guarantee that someone with a broken inner good impression will quit.

This year's students happen to be not a multiple of three. Rin's group has only two children, one is a girl who is good at medical treatment, Mizuki Saki, and the other is a boy, Shiranui Genma who uses Senbon as a weapon.

Rin has always been merciless towards his apprentices. Even Moira was tortured by his training back then, but the results were also very good. Moira mastered Novella at the young age of ten, and Mizuki Saki Genma and Shiranui quickly reached the level of being able to perform C-level missions.

So Rin took the risk of being nagged to death by Rie when he turned around, and took his apprentice on a mission. It was to escort a person to Sand Ninja Village. The risk factor was not high, so Rin took it.

The journey was smooth and the man arrived safely.Then Rin took the two apprentices all the way to train and slowly went back, but something happened when he was about to reach the border of the Kingdom of Fire.

It was a moonlit night.

Nights in the wild are always beautiful, with a bonfire burning away the chill.Two ten-year-old children sat together and whispered, while their teacher sat with their hands folded, looking up at the starry sky and wondering what he was thinking.

"Xuanjian, do you know how old the teacher is?"

Mizuki Saki looked at the young and overbearing face, and couldn't help asking, after going through this period of time, she also understood the background of this teacher, the younger brother of Mitarai Rie, who is famous in the medical class - said Come on, Mitarai-senpai must be thirty years old, even if the teacher is her brother, he shouldn't be so young...

Shiranui Xuanjian shook his head, secretly glanced at the teacher—just happened to meet those green eyes.A little embarrassed, he was about to change the subject when he saw the teacher standing up abruptly.

"Xuanjian, Sha Ji, use your fastest speed to go back to Konoha."

After ordering like this, Rin looked at a certain party with a defensive attitude, and Sha Ji was still a little at a loss, but he didn't know Huo Xuanjian's cleverness, and he was about to leave with Sha Ji.

"Teacher! Teacher—"

"Don't get in the way." Faced with Sha Ji's panicked voice, Rin said coldly, he stared at the huge figure emerging from the night, it looked like a puppet, so it was someone from Sha Nin Village.Shiranui Genma keenly noticed that there was fine sweat on the teacher's forehead, and that pair of eyes that were always sharp like blades seemed a little lax for some reason.

Teacher... what happened?

But it was too late to guess at this time, he took Sha Ji and left at the fastest speed.

Teacher, will you return safely?

But there was always a tinge of unease.

*******

The so-called life is all kinds of loneliness that will not let you pass through if you are not bitter enough to make your face full of bullshit.

Rin burned the puppet that attacked him with flames, and at the same time endured the pain of the attack-what a shit, everything collided!

"Zi Xiao of Konoha...is it you?"

The puppeteer who secretly manipulated did not appear, but spoke to Rin with a slightly childish voice, and Rin found that he could not find his position through the voice.

"Are you looking for me?"

Rin didn't deny it, dodged a few attacks, lowered his body slightly, and frowned.

I'm afraid the body can't support a long-term battle, only a quick battle...

The two puppets attacked again, and the silver-haired youth showed a ferocious smile.

Come on, let's see who can kill whom.

There is a battle going on in the night.

The silver-haired, blue-eyed, even slender young man was unparalleled in both attack and dodge, while his opponents were a few puppets with strange shapes, and the puppet master hidden behind the scenes would continue to issue ninjutsu harassment—for about half an hour, Rin finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to his knees.

"Zi Xiao is nothing more than that."

The puppeteer said contemptuously, of course he also noticed something was wrong with his opponent, his footsteps were a bit flimsy, his strength was uncertain, and his eyes often did not fall on the attacking puppet—is there something wrong with his eyes?

Hearing the puppeteer's ridicule, Rin raised his head and gave a more contemptuous and arrogant smile. At some point, the mist filled the air, and a silver-haired young man appeared behind the puppet master. The pale bone blade in his hand was extremely cold when it penetrated his body.

"Well!"

The puppeteer who was stabbed let out a sharp grunt of pain, and Rin didn't even have the strength to pull out his weapon. He put his hands on the ground, and the sweat was finally absorbed by the ground drop by drop.

"I won."

However, there was an expression of satisfaction and joy on his face, the joy of winning the battle even overwhelmed the pain that tore his will.At the moment when he was exhausted, he used illusion to cover his figure, then found the puppeteer and killed him——he looked up to see the attacker, who was actually a ten-year-old child.

Red hair, smoky green eyes, and beautiful facial features have a faint memory.

This is……

Rin looked at the child in surprise. If he remembered correctly, he had killed the child's mother many years ago.

"The Red Sand Scorpion."

Rin muttered the name, and the puppeteer who heard it showed a resentful expression.He lost his parents since childhood, after various investigations, he found out that it was Konoha's Bai Fang and Zi Xiao who killed his father and mother respectively.Bai Fang died last year, but Zi Xiao was still alive, that's why he planned the attack.

Goal, kill Zi Xiao!

But he still underestimated the opponent's strength and paid the price.The red-haired boy twisted his limbs and stood up little by little, and pulled out the bone knife—blood was everywhere.

He made a painful sound, and through the hideous wound, Rin found that his body was not human tissue, but creepy things like parts.

This kid turned himself into a puppet!

The Scarlet Sand Scorpion walked over with the bone knife, staggering. Rin, who had completely lost the ability to move, could only watch silently, watching the bone knife piercing his heart.

Death comes.

All the feelings were taken away in an instant, and the world became blank. He closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

At this moment, what he remembered was what he said to Lie.

[Don't underestimate me... It's a shame to die of illness or something. 】

Rie, I keep my word.

Compared with the way of dying from illness, death in battle is not bad.

The Malay ring on his chest shimmered, only this time its owner couldn't notice.

And the Scarlet Sand Scorpion was sitting next to the enemy's corpse. He stared at that young face. It was really strange. When a murderer faced death, his expression was neither frightened nor frightened, but peaceful and peaceful.

This made him feel unwilling.

I want this person to cry, I want this person to beg for mercy, I want this person to break his will severely!

In this way, the pain in his heart can be relieved.

He stretched out his hand, and the moment he touched the enemy, he saw the mist, subconsciously dodged it, and then realized that it was not an attack.

After the fog cleared, the person lying on the ground was still the 19-year-old youth, but it was more realistic than before. The red sand scorpion didn't notice it, and the pacifier and ring hidden in Rin's clothes were all gone.

He cautiously pressed his hand on the corpse, there was still a trace of warmth, inexplicably, he had the desire to make this person into a puppet.

If it was this person, it would be very beautiful to become a puppet.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the energy to take away this corpse now, and it's enough to take him away.

This body is only half a puppet, and it seems that it needs to be improved.

Regretfully looking at the corpse, he left without hesitation, and not long after he left, a man with golden pupils appeared.

"Dead."

Orochimaru picked up the corpse, judging from the softness, it shouldn't take long, and sealed the corpse with a ninjutsu scroll, he smiled contentedly.

[Even if I die, I don't want to hand over my body to you for experimentation. 】

So, after you died, I got your body.

Come on, contribute to my research and let me see what secrets you have hidden.

The last ray of night wind blows across the desert, far away, the sky will be bright.

The night is finally over.

And Konoha's purple night light finally fell.
