[Comprehensive] Every exam must be passed

It's hard to say if it was a coincidence that Hanzo returned from his special training in the evening of that day.

"You can't even imagine how dry Shayin Village is! Looking around, it's full of yellow sand. If you don't hold your breath when walking, you can sink half of your body into the sand with the next kick. When I landed on the soil, small grains of sand hit the clothes with a bang sound, and I couldn’t open my eyes. It felt like there was not even a drop of water in the air, and everything that came in and out was fire. Hey, look at my mouth. This skin." Hanzo just got back from receiving the mission from Sanshoyu Hanzo, and while packing his luggage, he babbled: "No wonder the daimyo wants the dream scroll, if half of the rainfall in Yuyin Village is given to Shayin Village, both sides will be able to do it." Become like Konoha, no, more beautiful than Konoha!"

Bilika and Leorio looked at each other silently, but neither of them answered.

Nobu, who was sitting on the couch wiping his eyes, glanced up at them, acutely aware that something must have happened while he and Hanzo were out.He put on his glasses and walked out calmly, and patted Leorio on the shoulder when he passed by.

The door was closed, the wind was blowing in the concrete corridor, Leori was standing with his back against the wall, he could vaguely hear the conversation in the room, Hanzo seemed to have brought out some special product, and he was showing off to Prika endlessly .

There is nothing to hide from Nobu about those disgusting things. Therefore, Leorio started from the disappearance of Bilika, detailing everything.

In fact, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, and people should be subdued when they are on the road.Knowing this truth, but still more and more angry.At the end, Leorio slammed his fist on the wall and cursed angrily: "Damn it!"

Nobu pushed his glasses with a cold face, and the reflection on the lenses disappeared in a flash. He whispered two names: "Sanjiao Hanzo and Kiritani Sachiko...?"

He didn't express anything superfluous, but suggested to Leorie: "Before you leave, please treat a few ninjas from Konoha to a meal. Didn't you and Bilika learn medical ninjutsu from that female ninja? Choose a good one." Don’t let people say that we in the Hunter Association don’t understand the rules.”

Nobu thought very carefully, and Leorio immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll treat you to this meal!"

***

The location was chosen by Hanzo, on the halfway up a mountain to the west of Yuyin Village.

When he saw the sloping-roof wooden house from a distance, Hanzo introduced it proudly: "This place is not bad, it is the only tavern in our village that is open on the first floor!"

Leo put up a pergola with his hands, looked at the tavern and responded to him: "Oh, if it's here, even if it rains, you won't be afraid of being flooded."

Namikaze Minato generously gave Rin, Obito, and Kakashi a vacation, and stayed near the fort by himself.After Nobu suggested it, he disdained to be with them, so tonight only Birika, Leorio, and Hanzo would accompany them.

Although the ingredients in Yuyin Village are limited, the low tables are still filled with a large table, and the menu is full of dishes that have never been heard before, such as tempura, sashimi, udon noodles, oden and so on.

Everyone closed the door of the box and sat cross-legged around the table. Leorio raised his glass first: "Thanks to everyone's care, Bilika and I have also learned a lot of knowledge. Tonight we treat guests, everyone feel free to eat, you are welcome."

Nana's beard was stained with sauce, and she nodded with satisfaction: "Leori usually looks stingy, but the critical moment is..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Leori cover his mouth with his palm, and quietly approached Bi Li Ka said: "A total of 8973 nuns, we share equally, each 4486.5 nuns."

Nainai was so angry that she immediately swallowed the second half of the compliment.

Although there was some unpleasantness in the middle, everyone tacitly did not mention it.There were a lot of people, and Hanzo was talking about it, so the banquet was quite lively.

After eating almost half of it, Hanzo put down the bowl of miso soup, looked around, and became interested in the purple oil paint painted on Lin's face: "What does the two slashes on your face mean?"

Lin spent a little longer with Birika and Leorio, but she didn't know Hanzo very well, so she smiled politely: "It doesn't have any special meaning either."

Hanzo asked persistently: "How is that possible? Hey, let me tell you, I actually saw a man who made a puppet in Shayin Village a while ago, and his face was also painted with purple oil paint, but Much denser than the one on your face, half of your face is purple..."

As soon as Hanzo opened the conversation, he said nothing. Lin was embarrassed to interrupt him, so she could only listen patiently. After listening for a long time, she suddenly realized something. Looking around, she asked, "Where are Kakashi and Birika?" After a long time, no one answered, Lin felt bitter, and lowered her head to laugh at herself.

The atmosphere was cold for a while, Leorio cleared his throat, picked up his cigarette and lighter, and said, "I'm going to the bathroom." When passing by Obito, he quietly kicked his buttocks, winking and beckoning him to follow.

Leorie was sitting on a seat in the corridor, with a small lantern for lighting hanging on the railing above his head. It was antique and very unique in the ninja world.

Under the hazy yellow light, faint smoke diffused.After waiting for a while, Obito came out, closed the box door, and said angrily, "Tell me what's going on, Lin is in a bad mood, and I have to go back to comfort her."

With half a cigarette between his fingers, Leorie paused for a long time, flicked the soot accumulated on the cigarette butt, and said: "Obito, I also said during the meal just now that we will leave Yuyin Village early tomorrow morning, no, it is true Said, is to leave the ninja world. Do you want to go with us?"

Obito was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Leorio asked him: "Do you think you are suitable for the battlefield?"

Not suitable.

No one knows better than himself.A swarm of hornets can make his legs weak from fright, and the first half of the run was carried by Leori. After being separated from Leori, he finally regained consciousness, and was so helpless that he watched Lin being killed by the enemy in front of his eyes. stun.

In fact, what Kakashi usually said is correct, his talent is mediocre, and his heart is not strong enough.

"Obito, in this world, it's impossible for everyone to be an elite. Heroes come out of troubled times. It's true, but some people are suitable, and some people are not." Leorio seldom is so serious, He pressed Obito's shoulder and said: "It's not [-]% safe outside, but at least the death rate is much lower than the ninja world, and the degree of freedom is also high. Maybe you can find something that really suits you outside, like me, when a hunter, or as a salesperson in a convenience store."

Leorie put out the cigarette butt, leaving Obito to ponder for himself: "I'll wait for you until tomorrow morning, and you can think about whether you want to go with us."

***

At the same time, Billika was saying goodbye to Kakashi seriously.

Different from Hanzo’s house, the tavern is a traditional Japanese-style building. The sliding door with wooden grid and paper is opened, and there is a semi-open corridor under the extended eaves, which can be used for cooling or taking a nap.

Kakashi brought Parker too, and it was a little bigger than when Billika first saw it, with the same dead fish eyes as Kakashi, looking angry, helpless and resentful at any time.

Nana looked very disgusted, and squinted at it: "Look at your hairy body, it's not smooth at all, you don't use shampoo in the shower, right? By the way, do you know what shampoo is? It's just..."

Bilika sat kneeling in the corridor, and the rain stars like a fine mist rushed in from outside and brushed on her face.She tilted her head to look at Kakashi who was sitting on the side, and smiled: "This place is really nice, it's cool and breathable, and the vision is also transparent, right?"

Kakashi, who was sitting by the side, had one leg half bent and one leg erected, looking at the undulating green-brown mountain line in the distance, he answered the question, "Really... are you leaving?"

Birika was startled, lowered her eyes, and spoke after a while, with a muffled voice: "Well, I'm sorry, Kakashi, I'm afraid I can't go to Konoha with you." She tried her best to pretend With a look of indifference, he forced a smile: "I was quite looking forward to it, blue sky, green trees, and Hokage Rock."

As Bilika was talking, she suddenly became sad. She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, and suddenly there was something more in her field of vision.The thin steel plate engraved with the wooden leaf logo, nailed to the long dark blue cloth, is Kakashi's forehead.

Bilika didn't answer it in a daze. She knew that for ninjas, the protective function of the forehead was still secondary, and more importantly, it was to express their origin and identity.Like her hunter license, it is an important item that cannot be lost.

Kakashi who took off his forehead protector, part of his hair was disheveled and hanging down, his half-length bangs covered his eyes, making him look a little strange.He kept the posture of handing it out, and said with no ups and downs in his voice: "Don't you want to take the Chunin exam? Since you can't take the exam, then I will take this for you." After a pause, he said vaguely: "When a commemoration."

At this moment, Bilika suddenly felt that the location of Yuyin Village was not well chosen, and it was raining continuously, brewing several times of parting sorrow for no reason.

She sniffed, the tip of her nose turned red, and said in a low voice, "Give this to me, what do you do?"

Kakashi said: "Go back to the village and write a report of the loss, and the equipment department will reissue it."

The inside of the forehead guard that was just taken off still carried Kakashi's body temperature, warm, warm.

Bilika held the forehead protector, unable to describe her mood.She thought for a while, took off the bow tie, replaced it with a forehead guard, and smiled at Kakashi with her lips pursed: "Does it look good?"

She seemed a little nervous, her slender and thick eyelashes trembled with her breathing, casting a shadow like a small fan.

It seems that such a private personal item has a different meaning when it is suddenly taken over by another person and carried with it.

Kakashi's ears were inevitably stained pink again. Don't look away, he didn't dare to look too much, and murmured in a low voice: "...beautiful." Really, very, very beautiful.

Bilika suddenly leaned forward, cupped his cheeks with both hands, straightened his head, and stared into his eyes seriously and intently.The texture of the mask under the palm is not delicate, but it is tight and firm, with a thin layer of dust on the outside, and slightly sweaty edges.

Kakashi's brain exploded with a bang.

He was dumbfounded, froze for a while, backed away in a hurry, tongue tied: "you you...what are you doing?!"

Birika's reason is very good: "I want to take a good look at your eyes, because Kakashi always wears a mask, what if I can't recognize it when I grow up?"

Kakashi's throat was dry, and he asked: "In the future, will you come back?"

"If you dare to take a step into the ninja world before I die, I will kill you." Sansho Hanzo's voice sounded in her mind, and Birika slowly retracted her hand, staring blankly at the floor in a daze.

The heat on his face gradually faded, Kakashi lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, hooked his fingers on the upper edge of his mask, and said, "Let me show you."

The mask slid down inch by inch, and when the tip of the nose was about to be exposed, Billika suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Don't..." Bilika raised her head, revealing a tearful and smiling face: "Really, after taking off the mask, there is no sense of mystery at all! Leave a little regret, and we will see it when we meet again, OK?"

Kakashi looked at her with lowered eyes: "...can we meet again?"

Bilika nodded desperately, her content was ambiguous, but her tone was firm: "Yeah! Although I can't determine the time...but it doesn't matter if it's ten years or twenty years, as long as I'm still alive, I will come back to see you one day! So, before that, don't die..." Her eyes were hot, she took Kakashi's hand, took off the prenate ring on her index finger, and put it in his palm: "This is for you .Don’t lose it, or I will be angry.”

After finishing speaking, tears fell down like beads of broken threads, and while wiping with his sleeves, he choked up like hiccups.Even I am surprised, it is not the first time to say goodbye to a friend I know, why is it so sad this time?

At some point, Nana leaned over lightly, resting her head on her knee, meowing softly.

Bilika gradually stopped crying, but the circles of her eyes were still red.

There were footsteps gradually walking outside, and after a while, Hanzo shouted the names of the two of them at the top of his voice.

Others were already ready to check out and leave.

Kakashi stared at the ring in his palm, as if he had never heard of it.Birika looked at his side face for a long time, finally stood up and walked towards the gate of the tavern, and said softly when passing by, "Kakashi, I'm leaving."

The author has something to say: The Hokage dungeon is coming to an end soon, just a few words of pure emotion.

Kakashi lost his parents when he was young, his best friend when he was a teenager, his mentor when he was young, and his apprentice when he was a man. His superficial brilliance is infinite, but in fact his spiritual shackles are heavier than anyone else.But he didn't commit suicide, didn't get depressed, didn't smoke, didn't drink too much, didn't have cynical youths, and his unlucky Mrs. Lin formed a stark contrast with the stinking two pillars who "the whole world owes me". [Of course, Kakashi in the Anbu period has the same stinky face:)

May everyone have Kakashi's tenacity, and at the same time have several times his good luck.
