Huali asked suspiciously, "Then... where are his parents?"

"He is an orphan," Shisui paused, lowered his eyes and said, "Parents died when Kyuubi attacked the village, and now he lives alone. Konoha has many orphans like him."

"..." Huali blinked and sighed softly, "I don't know why, I seem to know the reason why he likes to play pranks, that child... is very pitiful."

"Hua Li, don't approach him casually just because he is pitiful," Shisui frowned and looked at her, "The child's identity is too sensitive, approaching him rashly will only attract the attention of Konoha's high-level officials, and because Kyuubi attacked Konoha Uchiha and Konoha have already had a estrangement about the matter, although you do not belong to Uchiha, but now you live with me... Huali, you should understand, right?"

Huali nodded: "I understand, but why did Uchiha and Konoha have a gap because of Kyuubi's attack on the village? Could it be because you didn't go to support?"

"No..." Shisui looked at his clenched hands with a solemn expression, "Hua Li, Uchiha's Sharingan can control Kyuubi, and when Kyuubi attacked the village that night, it looked like he was hit Illusion."

Cold sweat suddenly seeped from Huali's back, so Konoha suspects that Uchiha's people lured Kyuubi to attack the village?No wonder Shisui warned her not to get close to that child. If she approached deliberately, maybe Konoha would suspect that Uchiha was playing with Kyuubi again.

"It's terrible," Huali curled her lips, "I'd better stay at home quietly, it's better not to go anywhere."

"What are you thinking, idiot." Zhishui couldn't help reaching out and touching Huali's head, and then laughed again.

Huali's birthday came very quickly, Zhishui just came back from a mission and found out that tomorrow is her birthday, and he hasn't decided what gift to give yet.

When going to the third generation to hand over the task, Shisui met Itachi who had just come out of Hokage's office at the door of Hokage's office. He smiled and patted Itachi on the shoulder, then opened the door and walked in.

"Zhishui, you're back," Sandai sat behind a desk full of documents, taking a puff of cigarette slowly, "How is the mission?"

"It was successfully completed," Zhishui stepped forward, took out the task scroll from his body and handed it to him, then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "There were no casualties in the team."

"Sure enough, you are very reliable." Sandai stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Zhishui, although you have just finished the mission, we still have a mission to ask you for tomorrow."

"Eh?" Zhishui was stunned, and then smiled helplessly, "Um...Third generations, can this task be entrusted to others? Tomorrow is Huali's birthday, and I promised her to stay with her at home."

"..." Sandai narrowed his eyes slightly, took a puff of cigarette slowly and said, "Zhishui, only you can do this task, I don't have the confidence to let other people do it."

"But... three generations of adults, I..."

"Zhishui," the third generation interrupted him in a deep voice, "There will be another birthday, and you can't do it again if you fail the mission. Are you going to lose even the most basic awareness of being a ninja?"

"..." Zhishui was silent for a while, lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry."

"Come here to get the mission scroll from me tomorrow," Sandai waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said a little unbearably, "When this mission is over, I'll give you a few days off, so you can spend time with her."

Zhishui heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I see, thank you, Mr. Three Generations."

Coming out of Hokage's office, Shisui saw Itachi leaning against the wall waiting for him at a glance, he was taken aback, closed the office door behind his back and walked towards Itachi: "You also have a mission?"

"No," Itachi shook his head, "Actually, the third generation wants me to join Anbu."

Zhishui's footsteps froze, and he looked at him in surprise: "Anbu? Really?"

Itachi can join Anbu, for Uchiha who has been unable to enter the power center, isn't it the proof that Konoha has begun to accept Uchiha?

Zhishui, who was still a little depressed just now, suddenly became happy, and laughed and patted Itachi on the shoulder: "The patriarch will definitely be very happy!"

"Yeah." Itachi slightly curved the corners of his mouth, revealing a shallow smile.

Back home, when he was changing his shoes in the hallway, he suddenly remembered that he had a task tomorrow. The scene where Huali told him his birthday wish a few days ago was still vivid in his memory, but he couldn't realize it.

Huali, who was studying the physical scrolls in the room, heard the movement, got up and walked towards the entrance, saw Zhishui who was changing his shoes, and said, "I'm back, why didn't you make a sound, it scared me."

"...Well," Zhishui pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Huali, I...have a task tomorrow."

Huali was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Well, I see."

Her reaction was too flat, and Zhishui became a little flustered for no reason. If she was angry or complained, he could comfort her. With such an answer now, Zhishui had to prepare a full amount of rhetoric and said nothing. Swallowed it back.

Even if he didn't show it on the surface, Huali should not be in a good mood. He didn't say anything to him. He washed up early and went to bed in his room. Zhishui sat in the living room for a long time until the time approached midnight. Only then did he get up from the sofa and walk to Huali's room.

The door of her room was unlocked, the moonlight shone in from the window, Zhishui did not make a sound of footsteps, and slowly walked to her bed and stopped. She seemed to be sleeping soundly, breathing slowly and evenly, with long eyelashes Casts a shadow under the eyes.

Zhishui couldn't help stretching out his fingers, wanting to poke her delicate and soft cheeks, but stopped suddenly when he was about to touch her, then withdrew his hand, turned and walked out the door.

Slowly closing the door, Shisui looked at the increasingly narrow room in his field of vision, sighed lowly, and then said, "Happy birthday...sorry."

The door was completely closed, and Huali in the room immediately opened her eyes. She looked at the empty ceiling motionlessly, with various complicated emotions surging in her heart, and finally closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep again.

When it was daylight, Huali woke up. She tossed and turned on the bed for a while, but still couldn't fall asleep, so she rubbed her eyes and chose to get up.

I don’t know when Zhishui has gone out, the house is so quiet that I can only hear her own voice, and occasionally the crows’ "quack" from the window. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Huali opened the refrigerator to get some A little milk, but found a paper bag in the most conspicuous place in the refrigerator.

She is very familiar with this paper bag, and it must be filled with donuts. Huali curled her lips and did not touch the paper bag. Instead, she took out the milk in it and closed the refrigerator door.

Drinking milk and eating bread alone, Huali was a little bit depressed, this birthday was no different from her previous world, it was the same loneliness at all.

No, it's better to say that in the original world, she still has her grandfather, Hongye and Nightmare, but in this world, no one is there anymore, only Shishui.

"Yo, Huali!"

The window was knocked twice, Huali raised her head and looked out the window, Youren was smiling and waving at her with his eyes bent.

Originally, he wanted to ignore him, but Youren continued to knock on the glass: "Hua Li, Hua Li, open the door, I'm here to celebrate your birthday."

Being quarreled by him, Huali scratched her hair irritably, got up and opened the door: "Who told you that!"

"Itachi," Youren showed her the big cake and a big bag of food and drink in his hand, and then he leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "Zhishui can't accompany you when I'm on a mission, so I just reluctantly Help him celebrate your birthday."

"..." Huali rolled her eyes and wanted to close the door, "No need."

"Hey wait!" Youren quickly blocked the door she was about to close, "Hua Li, it's right to celebrate your birthday, why not, I've bought everything, and I came here to look for you with such sincerity. Shall I hurry back?"

"..." Huali squinted at the things in his hand, sighed and took a step back, "Come in."

An expression of joy appeared on Youren's face, but he quickly suppressed it: "This is Huali's 15th birthday, right?"

"Well," Huali closed the door and walked to the living room, "Actually, you don't need to buy so many things to bring here, even if you add Zhishui, you can't finish it."

"It doesn't matter, if you can't finish eating, you can leave it to eat slowly." The person took out all kinds of snacks and cakes and put them on the table, poured drinks for her, opened the cake box, and inserted them one by one. Candle.

Huali looked at the candle and was silent for a while before saying, "There is no lighter at home."

"What kind of igniter do you need in front of Uchiha?" You Ren patted his chest proudly, and quickly made seals with both hands, "Fire escape, the art of impatiens!"

A few clusters of small flames fell on the candle, and then burned slowly.

Satisfied, Youren pushed the cake in front of her: "Make a wish!"

"..." This way of lighting the fire made Huali embarrassed for a while, before she bent down to blow out the candles.

"Wait!" Youren stretched out his hand to block the pear that was about to blow, "You haven't made a wish yet."

"Wishing or something... don't worry about it, it can't come true anyway." Huali, as a psychic, is very clear about making wishes. No god will listen to her wish, it's just lip service .

"No, what if it comes true?" Youren stared at her forcefully and said, "Just make a wish!"

"..." Huali had always been unable to hold him back, so she could only nod her head helplessly and say, "I will make a wish."

After putting his hands together and closing his eyes, Huali prayed silently in his heart for a while, then opened his eyes, and Youren was looking at her with a smile on his chin: "What wish did you make?"

"..." Huali looked at him expressionlessly, "Ah, I hope you can go home immediately."

"Pfft," Youren burst out laughing, "Huali, it seems that your wish will not come true. You should seize the opportunity to make a better wish."

"Then what if it comes true." Huali curled her lips, not arguing with him verbally, but she felt a little sour in her heart. Her wish was just... hoping that Zhishui could come back today.

"Come on, come on, cheers!" The man raised the cup in his hand and stretched it towards her, and when he saw that she hadn't moved, he urged, "Hurry up!"

Huali hesitantly raised the glass, the transparent glass made a crisp collision sound in mid-air, the person withdrew his hand and drank the drink in one gulp, and Huali watched him finish drinking before raising the glass to the top He took a small sip from his mouth, and then sprayed it all out——

"liquor?!"

Staring at the orange drink in her hand in surprise, Huali immediately raised her head and stared at You Ren: "Didn't you say it was a drink?"

"It's almost the same for me," Youren said indifferently, "Don't you like Huali?"

It's not just that I don't like it!Simply disgusting!

The bitter taste in her mouth gradually permeated the whole mouth, Huali picked up the water on the table and took a big gulp, trying to wash away the remaining taste in her mouth, Yuren looked at her inexplicably: "Is it so annoying?"

"Yeah," Huali took out the candle, then cut a piece of cake and handed it to him, and then cut another piece for herself, "I like to eat sweet things, donuts and cakes are my favorite, and I don't even want to touch bitter things .”

"Hahaha," Youren laughed again, "Huali, you are still too young, sweetness can only be sweet for a while, but the heart is still bitter, wine can make people forget even the troubles in their hearts."

"Sounding so high-sounding, isn't it drunk?" Huali curled her lips, narrowed her eyes and swallowed a big mouthful of sweet and greasy cream, "I don't want to get drunk."

"Okay, okay, then change to fruit juice." Youren's eyes fell on the milk glass on the table, and the corners of his mouth were raised in a teasing voice, "Or...milk?"

Huali angrily picked up the glass and walked to the kitchen: "I have juice!"

After finally sending the rambunctious Yuren away, it was already slightly dark. Huali went back to the room and looked at the mess on the table, and sighed a little tiredly. The direct consequence is that she feels so tired now that she doesn't want to clean up at all.

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, it was already pointing to seven o'clock, and Zhishui hadn't come back yet, so it should be... not coming back today.

Tired, she collapsed on the sofa. Huali had just rested for a while, but she felt thirsty. She had to stand up and go to the kitchen, open the refrigerator to get something to drink.

As soon as she opened the refrigerator door, she saw the conspicuous donuts. She hadn't touched it today. After taking out the water, Huali hesitated for a moment, and took out the bag of donuts anyway.

Because it has been left for too long, the donuts have become cold and hard, completely losing their soft texture, and they don’t even seem to be that sweet anymore. Huali put the donuts aside in disgust, and looked at her After sweeping away the cake, my heart also became a little empty.

"Alcohol can make people forget even the troubles in their hearts." 』

Thinking of Youren's words for no reason in her heart, Huali was stunned for a while, then lay down on the table and buried her head in her arms.

"Just drink a little... probably, you won't get drunk."
