The sky... is still so gloomy... It seems that I haven't seen the blue sky for a long time...

Eternal darkness and tranquility surrounded him, like waves engulfing the body.

Consciousness sinks into a soft ball.

Sorry.. sacrificing for him is the best ending I can get.. please let me sleep..

But someone is persistently disturbing the sleep.

"Ningji! Neji!"

Father's voice?You came to pick me up... right...

"Ningji! Get up! Teacher's call!"

Mother?Are you not in the rear?Could it be...!

Neji opened his eyes abruptly.

Two faces that he painted day and night are in front of his eyes.

"Teacher Nine-Tails." Mother put a cold cube to the ear of the astonished man, and made a gesture with her lips.

Ning Ci's eyes followed his father who moved the chair for his mother, and tears gradually filled his eyes.He was tongue-tied and unable to utter a word.

Is this a dream?Or, the world after death...

Fortunately, before his parents noticed his abnormality, his body automatically said: "Hello..."

"Congratulations, Neji."

The voice from the cube was even more confusing. If it wasn't for the fact that there seemed to be another person in the body controlling it, Neji would almost shout out.

Nine tails?

"You are the No. 30 student in the national college entrance examination this year! You are the No. [-] No. [-] student in the college entrance examination since the establishment of Konoha Experimental Middle School! Congratulations!"

The number one scholar in the college entrance examination... what is it?

Ning Ci was full of doubts, but the parents who had been listening seemed to be very happy about the news. He had never seen such bright smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, teacher."

"You have always been the hardest-working student in the class, and you have a strong learning ability. You deserve it." Nine Tails' tone was actually a little relieved.

His mother was holding his father's arm and quietly wiping tears, but Neji couldn't take his eyes off them.He listened intently to the sound in the cube that kept ringing.

"... You can report your grades anywhere. Now you should mainly consider which major you want to enter. You can negotiate conditions with the school..."

The mother noticed Neji's gaze, sat on the edge of the bed, and held his hand.His father also came over and wrapped him up with gentle eyes.

"...If you have any questions, you can call me at any time." After asking for a full 5 minutes, Kyuubi finally had the tendency to end the conversation.

"Okay, thank you teacher."

"Let's celebrate with the family."

The black block no longer speaks.Ning Ci and his parents looked at each other for a long time before suddenly realizing that he was still lying on the bed.

"No. [-] scholar! Our Neji is the No. [-] scholar!" The mother's warm and soft hand slightly exerted force, and Neci subconsciously held her back.

It seems that it has been many years since I saw such a happy expression on her face. Even when I became a Jonin, there was sadness hidden in her smile.Since my father...

Father!

The middle-aged long-haired man was supporting his mother's shoulders, his eyes smiling into crescents: "Good job, Neji."

The warm liquid came up again.

Looking at Ning Ci's expression, the mother's eye circles quickly turned red.She smiled in a concealed manner, turned around and said, "I'll go make breakfast for our number one scholar first."

Father patted her on the back lightly and winked at Ning Ci.

Has he... ever had such a... expression before?

Can not remember……

"Son," he said with a much more relaxed smile than he remembered, "I'm so proud of you."

The throat seemed to be blocked by a fiery lump, and the tears were finally uncontrollable.In the haze, his father seemed to reach out and pressed his shoulder.

I read that right!Father, his caged bird curse mark...disappeared!Just now, my mother seemed to...

In the future, before he had time to think about whether this place was the so-called spiritual land, a huge amount of information rushed into his mind, and darkness fell again.

This time, Ning Ci truly felt unwilling and nostalgic.

Will there really be another me in the world?There, he can grow up carefree in the company of his parents. There is no war to separate his relatives, no family rules to obey, no mandatory sacrifices...

There really will be.

When I woke up again, there were many, many more memories in my mind, and my heart beat faster than ever.But Ning Ci didn't care at all, the great joy brought by the familiar scene urged him to forget about the discipline he had received, and rushed downstairs.

During that meal, he talked with his parents almost non-stop.

Starting from the time when he was taken to kindergarten by his father on a bicycle at the age of three, he talked about the summer he spent in the countryside of Wuyu when he was six years old; his father praised him for his brave deeds in elementary school, and his mother talked about the love letter he received in junior high school and this long and fulfilling high school life, but the parents said that a few years was like a flick of a finger for them, and in a blink of an eye, the child grew into a vigorous teenager.

"...you are about the same height." The mother held the dishes and looked at the father and son back to back with a smile.

"I didn't stand up straight just now, what do you think now?" Father's back trembled.

"You stepped on your feet! The child's father!" The mother pretended to be angry.

"Hahaha, you found out——" the father put his arm around Ning Ci's shoulders, and smoothed his son's long hair.

If time could stop at this moment...

"Ding-dong-"

"Go and open the door, it should be your classmate." The hand behind him pushed slightly.

By the way, my father is still a ninja, and his perception is still very strong. After the restriction of the bird in the cage is removed... But there is no ninja classification system now, and the job in the state-owned enterprise does not require him to go to the battlefield.

Sure enough, the voices of the dispute outside the security door were very familiar.

"...I told you that we came too early!"

"Just come over after early training..."

"Ah! The smell of sweat is so strong!"

"This is the testimony of youth hard work!"

The corner of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and Neji opened the door.

"One, two—"

"—Congratulations on your title on the Gold List!"

The watermelon-headed boy in green and the bun-headed girl in pink jumped up and shouted in unison.

"Thank you, have you checked your grades?" When she took the fruit in Tiantian's hand, she seemed to blush a little.

"I'm the 75th in the whole city, this guy is the [-]rd."

"Thank you two for helping me with tutoring." Xiao Li bared his white teeth.

"There's nothing to be thankful for."

"We are a team."

The two answered tacitly at the same time.

Tiantian...why do you have to lower your head?

"So, National Defense University?" Xiao Li opened his big round eyes and looked back and forth between the two who were suddenly silent.

"Of course, it was agreed a long time ago, right Neji?" She seemed to have made up her mind, and there was a gleam of light on her face.

"Yes, we agreed."

This time, her ears were also red.

"Come in and sit down and talk, children." The mother was amused by the excited Xiao Li.

Father put the fruit plate on the coffee table: "Eat some grapes, it's very sweet."

Several people exchanged information.The results of the actual combat exercise in March and the results of this exam are the basis for their choice of school.The number of admissions has been guaranteed, just like Jiuwei said, now it is time to consider which major to apply for.

The doorbell rang again, and there was silence outside the door.

"Brother, Hinata." The father smiled.

"What's wrong?" Tian Tian quietly tugged on the corner of Ning Ci's clothes, and the latter ordered himself to relax his tense body.

Knowing that it might be impolite, Ning Ci still stared at the man who was very similar to his father putting the gift box on his dining table, and walked towards this side step by step.

"Congratulations, Neji."

He didn't mention the honor of the family, he didn't treat his father with that attitude, he just said... congratulations?

"Congratulations, brother Ning Ci." The curvature of Hinata's smile did not match the education she received as a young lady.

"Thank you."

For the first time, I found that I seemed to be able to look at the eye level with my uncle.

"Go on, let's go talk about our adults' boring topics." Master Nizuzu... No, the uncle said in a joking tone, and his father nodded to him.

"...So sister, you want to apply for the design of the aircraft?" Hinata still had a soft tone, but she quickly chatted with Tiantian.

"I didn't think about it well... The Space Instrument Engineering Research Center of the National Defense University is very powerful..." Tiantian glanced here.

"Eh? Compared with you, I realized that I don't know anything." Xiao Li flipped through the application guidance book, and threw himself on the table.

"Where's Brother Ning Ci?"

Two pairs of extremely similar pupils looked at each other.

A leaf passed by the window, and a shadow flickered across her face.Her gaze was extraordinarily calm, and there seemed to be a lot of things supporting her in it.

The sky is high and the air is crisp, a group of migratory birds fly by neatly, and the azure blue sky is far more expansive than ever.

"Aviation flight and command." Ning Ci stroked the steel giant on the cover of the instruction book, and a voice from the bottom of his heart said in sync with him.

"I want to become a pilot, ride a condor, and break through the sky."
