The seventh squad led by Kakashi received a notice that he could take the Chunin exam that night, and the news made all three excited.After all, it is an honor to become a Chunin by passing the Chunin Exam, and the three of them naturally wanted to perform well.Even Uchiha Sasuke is no exception, his black eyes are burning with fighting spirit.

However, Kakashi looked at the excitement of several people, poured cold water on them, and reminded them by the way: "You guys, don't get too excited, the Chunin exam is not as simple as you imagined. The risk is considerable, otherwise there would not be so few people who pass the exam each time."

Looking at the few people who fell silent after hearing his words, Kakashi continued: "When the Chunin exam begins, no one but the candidates can interfere. During the exam, everything can only depend on your own efforts."

"The Chunin exam is very risky, and even many people will die during the exam." Having said that, Kakashi paused, looked at the faces of the few people who had already turned serious, and said, "As long as it is within the exam range , even if you kill ninjas from other villages, there will be no punishment or responsibility. So you guys, have you realized the seriousness of the matter?"

"Don't think that you are already very strong. Maybe there are people who are much stronger than you in the exam." When Kakashi said this, he kept looking at Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, "Outsiders There are people, there is a sky beyond the sky. Don’t let your guard down because you think that the people who take the exam together are as ninja as you are, I have reminded you before, don’t underestimate anyone, right?”

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Ayakawa who was packing up the dishes in the kitchen.

Indeed... They really believed that Mr. Kakashi's estimation of Ayakawa's strength was beyond the standard, but after seeing the other party's show today, they realized clearly that the person who often smiles gently is far more powerful. Much stronger than them.

Seeing that the blows to the few people were almost the same, Kakashi's exposed eyes slightly curved: "But... since I recommend you to take the Chunin exam, it proves that I recognize the strength of you guys. So, you guys Don't feel too frustrated, after all, you have also been training under me for a while, and I believe that there will be no problems for the few of you to cooperate."

"I'm optimistic about you." Saying this, Kakashi gave the three of them a thumbs up, sweeping away the heavy atmosphere just now, "After all, you are the disciples of my Hatake Kakashi."

Naruto, who was inspired by this rhetoric, suddenly ignited, he clenched his fists, and his eyes sparkled: "Mr. Kakashi, we will definitely not let you down!~"

Seeing Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi recovered into dead fish eyes, and supported his head with his hands: "Actually, the person I'm most worried about is you, Naruto."

"Hey?? Teacher Kakashi has some confidence in me!! I was also trained by you!!"

Kakashi sighed, and turned to look at Sasuke Uchiha beside him: "Well, Naruto will leave it to you, Sasuke, please don't let him do anything stupid."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded, and then gave Naruto Uzumaki a blank look: "What a super idiot."

Uzumaki Naruto: "...=dish=!!!"

All in all, after getting the news that they could take the Chunin Exam, the three of them were a little excited.It was already very late after eating, and although Naruto and the three said they didn't need it, Ayakawa still took Kakashi to send them home.

Because no matter whether the three are ninjas or not, in Ayakawa's eyes, they are just a few children who haven't grown up.

Kakashi pulled the forehead protector on his head, acquiescing to Ayakawa's decision.Because Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura's house are in the same direction, they happened to be sent away together.Uchiha Sasuke's home is in the opposite direction, and it is not on the way, so they have to be divided into two groups in the end.

Because it is a relatively remote road, it is very quiet at night, except for the cicadas in the trees, there is no other sound.Even the lights looked a little dim, but it added some weird colors to the street.

Uchiha Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, his expression was normal, obviously he often walked this way.After a while, he stopped, looked at the people walking beside him, and frowned slightly: "You don't have to send me back at all."

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't understand what this man named Ayagawa was thinking. He was clearly the son of a daimyo, but he treated them ninjas very kindly.Not at all... not thinking of them as a tool.

There is always a warm light in his eyes, which makes him calm down when facing the other party, but he feels a little impatient in his heart because he put down his guard so easily.

Uchiha Sasuke looked up at the light brown pupils of the opposite person, the dark road did not cover up the starlight inside.He looked into Ayakawa's eyes, there was a smile, friendliness, and concern in his eyes, but there was no sympathy that he hated.

He thought, maybe this is the reason why he doesn't reject each other very much.

The whole village knows about the Uchiha clan.So, as the only remaining member of the clan, most of what he faced when he went out were the sympathetic gazes of others, as well as private discussions.

Every discussion and gaze seemed to remind him of what happened to the Uchiha clan over and over again, making him keep recalling the scene that night, and the blood red in his vision.

He hated the way those people stared at him, so after seeing that Ayakawa didn't look at him like that, he didn't think this person was annoying.

Of course, it may also be that the other party has a temperament that is not annoying.

"It's different." Ayakawa shook his hand when he heard Uchiha Sasuke's words, "Although it is not necessary to send you off, it feels different to walk the night road with someone."

Looking at the pupils of the child opposite, the corners of Ayakawa's mouth twitched.

Maybe Sasuke Uchiha didn't realize it himself. Sometimes when he watched Naruto interacting with him, a little envy leaked from his eyes.

Maybe because of his personality, Uchiha Sasuke can’t say anything like Uzumaki Naruto, and he will act immediately when he wants to do something, so he often just laughs at Uzumaki Naruto’s “how old is he and acting like a baby”, but he doesn’t Notice that in your own eyes, you also long to be like the other person.

After all, he is just a child, even if he lives and grows full of hatred, there is no way to erase the loneliness in his heart when he is alone.

Ayakawa knew that the other party was a person with strong self-esteem, so he didn't do anything to make the other party feel that he sympathized with and underestimated him.

Because it wasn't something he experienced, he couldn't empathize with the other person, but Ayakawa himself knew that this kind of people didn't like to see other people's sympathetic eyes.

Whether it's him or Naruto, or Uchiha Sasuke in front of him.

Therefore, in the end, Ayakawa just chose this kind of silent care and companionship.

Sasuke Uchiha knew that Ayagawa had seen through his deep desire in doing this, but it was precisely because of this that he couldn't hate the person opposite Qi who always had a gentle smile on his face.

Uchiha Sasuke pursed his lips, turned his head and walked forward a few steps, then turned around and said at a faster pace than usual: "Hey, how long are you going to stand there? My house hasn't arrived yet."

Even under the dim light, Ayakawa could still see the slightly red ears of the other party, he smiled and quickly followed the person in front who was much shorter than himself.

Sasuke Uchiha listened to the footsteps in his ears, and suddenly felt something was different.My heart is much more relaxed, obviously it is the way home as usual, but today I don't feel cold and empty, my heart seems to be warmed up.

He thought, maybe no one can refuse such tenderness.

The two gradually walked into the territory of the Uchiha clan, surrounded by darkness, because no one lived, so there would be no lights.

Ayakawa paused, feeling the desolate surroundings, staring at the small figure walking in front of him, feeling sour in his heart unconsciously.

How strong he must be to step into this place that makes his life begin to change day after day.

How strong do you have to be in your heart, so that you can face the dark and silent environment around you without changing your face, and live alone in this large and empty place.

Uchiha Sasuke stood in front of the gate, glanced at the position marking his family's crest, turned around and said to Ayakawa: "This is here, you can go back."

With that said, he opened the door and planned to walk in.Seeing the opponent's movements, Ayakawa immediately stopped him: "Sasuke, wait a moment."

Hearing the voice, Sasuke Uchiha turned his head and saw what Ayakawa handed him: "This is...?"

"Amulet," Ayakawa blinked, and put the dark blue cloth bag embroidered with the emblem of the Uchiha clan into the hand of the person opposite, "This is specially made for you, Naruto and Xiao There are also sakura, but the patterns and colors are different."

"Who needs this kind of thing... I trust my ability." Even though he said so, Uchiha Sasuke was careful not to wrinkle the things in his hands.

"But...cough, thank you anyway." Sasuke Uchiha put away the things in his hand and put them on his chest, thanking the person opposite in a low voice.

"You're welcome." Ayakawa bent down slightly, stared at the pair of black pupils of the boy in front of him, then stretched out his hand and gently touched the other's forehead, "At least when you're at home, let yourself relax and don't be too tense."

But at this moment, Uchiha Sasuke didn't hear Ayakawa's words at all, but was in a trance.Because this posture is so familiar, so familiar that he himself didn't realize that he wanted to cry so much, and missed him so much...

He was treated like this countless times when he was a child, but the elder brother whom he admired and yearned for in his heart actually did such a thing in the end.

Thinking of this, Sasuke Uchiha bit his lip fiercely, clenched his hands tremblingly.

Ayakawa naturally sensed that the person opposite was wrong. In fact, he originally wanted to rub the other person's head, but when he thought of Uchiha Sasuke's self-esteem, he gave up that idea.After thinking about it for the last time, he stretched out his hand and tapped the other person's forehead, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this...

"Well, what's the matter?" Ayakawa immediately took his hand away, and looked at the person in front of him worriedly.

Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just remembered something from the past."

Ayakawa looked back and forth at the other party, and found that he had really sorted out his emotions, then blinked: "Cough, it's fine."

"Then I'll go back first." Uchiha Sasuke nodded to Ayakawa, turned and walked towards the door.

Ayakawa looked at the opponent's back until Uchiha Sato helped him into the door, and when he was about to close the door, he said: "Don't train for too long at night, pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

Uchiha Sasuke paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and closed the door.

Ayakawa stared at it for a while, then walked in the direction of going back.

In fact, apart from Naruto, whether it is Kakashi, Haruno Sakura or him, they all know that Uchiha Sasuke will train until late at night when he returns home after finishing his tasks every day, and he will not rest until he is exhausted.

Because every time they can notice the wounds on each other's hands due to more training, and the faint dark circles under their eyes.

Ayakawa shook his head, shaking things out of his mind, and when he looked up, he saw the crow that had landed on the telegraph pole.Ayakawa paused slightly, looked at the crow for a while and then tilted his head.

Ah...why didn't this crow fly over?

Because of the power of God's Light, the animals always unconsciously want to get close to Ayakawa, but the one they met today... didn't fly towards him, but just stood there looking at him not too far away.

Feeling a little curious, Ayakawa stretched out his hand: "Hey, come here."

When the crow heard Ayakawa's words, it jumped a couple of times. Not knowing if it understood the meaning of the words, it spread its wings and flew towards Ayakawa, just landing on Ayakawa's outstretched arm.

When he got closer, Ayakawa realized that this crow actually had a pair of red eyes, which looked a little weird.Ayakawa blinked, could it be... a mutant! ?

Taking a look at the sky, Ayakawa didn't continue to think about it. He reached out and touched the smooth black feathers of the crow standing on his arm and said, "Well, come back with me first."

After finishing speaking, Ayakawa put the crow on his shoulders, and walked towards the distance without stopping.

And at this moment, Ayakawa naturally wouldn't notice that the eyes of the crow on his shoulders changed for a moment, and then returned to their original appearance.
