It was mid-May when Cold Wind and the others escorted Shinichi Shirata out of Wood Leaf, and when they returned to Wood Leaf from Poisonous Insect Valley, it was nearly mid-June.
After a full month, they only completed a C-level mission, and there was a life-threatening danger in the middle of the mission, and the key point was that they couldn't upgrade the mission level. Cold Wind and Waterstop both felt that it was Shihei's fault.
After handing in the mission and dividing the reward, Shihei announced that he would rest for two days, and on the third day, he would gather at the Naruto Rock. He was ready to guide Cold Wind and the others in their training.
After disbanding, Cold Wind went straight home.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but along the way, Cold Wind felt that the people around him were in a hurry.
Did something happen in the village?
Cold Wind frowned and walked forward. When he passed by a ninja tool shop, he hesitated and turned and walked into the ninja tool shop.
"Ninja-sama, do you want to buy ninja tools?" The ninja tool shop owner greeted him.
Cold Wind casually pointed to a few kunai and shurikens and asked for the price.
The owner was very enthusiastic and said that these ninja tools were made by the masters of Craftsman Village, and that they were one in a million good ninja tools. He also praised Cold Wind for his good taste and good taste, and said that he was a Jonin material.
Cold Wind didn't interrupt his praise and calmly praised him for five minutes, and finally learned the price from the owner.
However, the price was 30% more expensive than the price Cold Wind paid a month ago when he left Wood Leaf.
As the saying goes, the duck knows when the spring water is warm, and these ninja tool shops have their own sources of information. Once the scale of the war expands, or the situation becomes tense, the price of ninja tools will rise.
Cold Wind's heart was a little heavy, and he nodded and turned away. Sigh, I was praised for nothing, this is a good business!
The ninja tool shop owner looked at Cold Wind's back, and his face twitched slightly. He felt that he was played, but there was no evidence!
…
Along the way home, Cold Wind opened the door and entered. The living room was empty, and there was no one in the backyard. Clearly, Keihuizi and Gale had not returned yet.
Cold Wind went into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. After sitting on the sofa for a while, he looked around.
He didn't know why, but he kept feeling that something was wrong. There seemed to be a very oppressive feeling in the room.
Could it be that someone was monitoring this place?
Cold Wind silently closed his eyes and used his perception Ninjutsu, and then slowly spread his perception around, but there was no one else in the house except him.
Cold Wind did not give up and continued to expand his perception. When the range of his perception spread to the neighboring houses, Cold Wind sensed two vague human figures.
And the positions of these two people …
Cold Wind's eyes widened. It was the Jifeng family!
Could it be that his little brother's father, Moonlight Star Shi, had returned?
Cold Wind got up and walked to the corner of the backyard. Then, he lightly jumped into the Moonlight Star's house.
When he landed, the oppressive feeling was even more serious!
Because Moonlight Star Shi's house was similar to Cold Wind's house, Cold Wind directly entered the living room from the backyard of his house. Then, he saw the two old men, Moonlight Well and Moonlight Matsushita.
Cold Wind just waved and was about to say hello when he saw a lot of black banners hanging on the wall of the living room. He looked around and finally, his eyes fell on a … portrait on the wall?
"Cold Wind, you're back."
When the Moonlight Well saw the cold wind, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile that seemed to be both crying and smiling.
Cold Wind looked over and found that the Moonlight Well had become even more bald and older.
"Uncle Star Shi, he …"
Cold Wind didn't know what to say. There was some disbelief in his eyes.
"He was sacrificed on the battlefield."
Moonlight Matsushita sighed. "There's nothing to be sad about. There are always people who die in war."
Cold Wind's heart was blocked.
It would be a lie to say that he was heartbroken. After all, Cold Wind was an 'outsider' and the number of times he met Moonlight Star Shi could be counted on one hand.
It would be impossible to say that he wasn't sad. After all, he was his uncle.
Especially Moonlight Star Shi was his little brother's father.
In the past six months, Cold Wind and Gale ate and lived together. They even slept on the same tatami. Even if they were strangers, they would have feelings for each other, let alone his little brother.
After that, Moonlight Well told Cold Wind the whole story.
Half a month ago, Moonlight Star Shi led a team to attack the logistics of the Sand Hidden Village, but he didn't expect that the one responsible for escorting the logistics turned out to be the hero of the Sand Hidden Village, Pakura!
Moonlight Star Shi and his companions didn't escape. They were all sacrificed.
There was no heart-wrenching story, nor were there any heroic deeds, they were just sacrificed.
Their bodies were exchanged for the bodies of the Sand Hidden Village's ninjas. After being sent back to Wood Leaf, they were buried the next day.
And that was already five days ago.
"Gale … Is he okay?"
Cold Wind was worried about him.
"He is still young, he should forget about this soon." Moonlight Well sighed.
Moonlight Pine said, "Cold Wind, you should accompany him for a few days."
"I know."
Cold Wind replied in a low voice.
After burning two sticks of incense for Moonlight Star Shi, Cold Wind jumped back to his backyard. When he entered the living room, Cold Wind stopped and turned to the wooden stake in the backyard.
The last time Cold Wind and Moonlight Smoke PK here, the wooden stake was amputated by Moonlight Smoke and was only a meter high.
Cold Wind walked closer and found that the surface of the wooden pile was covered with messy and thick sword marks. They were densely packed and stacked on top of each other. Cold Wind reached out to touch them, as if he could feel the pain in Cold Wind's heart.
Returning to the living room and sitting on the sofa, Cold Wind sat there, thinking about how to persuade Gale when he came back, but he didn't know what to say.
Chicken soup for the soul?
Don't joke.
If his father died and someone came to give him chicken soup for the soul, he would kill him!
Thinking about it, he didn't know how long it took, but suddenly there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and the sound of shoes changing.
Cold Wind heard that it was his little brother, so he got up and walked over.
Gale came in from the entrance with his head down, exuding an aura of loss.
"Gale …"
Cold Wind opened his mouth, he really didn't know what to say.
"Brother, you are back from your mission."
Gale looked up, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was indescribably dispirited. After putting down his bag, Gale went straight to the backyard.
Not long later, there was the sound of messy slashing.
Cold Wind walked to the corridor and saw Gale using all his strength to slash with the short sword in his hand. Not long after, Gale's hand slowly bled.
Cold Wind then realized that Gale's hands were wrapped in bandages, but the bandages were already red.
Cold Wind couldn't stand it anymore, so he went up and slapped Gale's short sword away.
"Gale, I know you are sad, but if you practice like this, Uncle Star Shi won't be happy," Cold Wind said softly.
Gale lowered his head and looked at the short sword on the grass. He didn't cry, nor did he make a fuss.
This kind of situation was the most troublesome.
Cold Wind braced himself and comforted him, but it didn't have any effect. Cold Wind only felt that the air around him was about to freeze.
At this moment, Cold Wind really wanted to transform into a blue beast, using his youth and hot blood as his mouth to hug his little brother and cry.
But, he really couldn't do it …
