Family?
Hearing this word, Ghost Shark paused briefly. He didn't even know how he felt right now.
But he knew that this feeling was very comfortable and warm.
In the past three years in Wood Leaf, he had experienced things that he had never experienced in the more than ten years in the Mist Village.
Family. This word wasn't strange to Ghost Shark. His family was definitely not a small family in the Mist Village.
But the problem was, even though he wasn't strange to it, he had never felt the warmth of his family.
Maybe it was the environment in the Mist Village that caused all this, or maybe it was because his family had always been so cold, or maybe it was because of the war.
In his family, in his living environment, it had always been cold. This coldness had accompanied him since he entered the Black Operation from school.
He had thought about it before. He thought that he might have to live like this for the rest of his life.
Especially when he found out that he was betrayed by the Mist Village, which he trusted the most and had sacrificed everything for, to protect his secret.
It could be said that at that moment, his world was already gray and black. He could no longer feel any light, nor did he feel that any light could shine into his inner world.
Then, at that time, a person that Kuroto didn't even dream of appeared, this person was his enemy, this person was a senior member of Konoha, and this person was none other than Uchiha Ki!
This guy, who he thought was his enemy, had given him a chance.
Ghost Shark didn't really believe it. He didn't have anything to lose. Even if Kei Uchiha lied to him, he didn't have anything to lose.
It was just a life. He didn't care about it at all. He didn't even have a reason to live anymore. Why would he be afraid of death?
But what he didn't expect was that Kei Uchiha did it.
Even though Kei Uchiha had done it because of the current characteristics of Wood Leaf, Ghost Shark would never deny some things.
If Kei Uchiha hadn't given him this chance, he wouldn't have this feeling of 'warmth'!
Right now, he did have a belief, and that was to stay in Wood Leaf for good. Only then could he continue to enjoy the 'warmth' he had now.
He wanted to protect everything. This was his new belief. For this belief, he was willing to give up everything!
But now, Ghost Mermaid felt that he was in a bit of a difficult situation. Because he was about to go on a mission.
"This …" Ghost Shark helplessly rubbed his own head and said, "I'm afraid I can't go with you, because …"
"What's wrong, Mr. Ghost Shark?" While the Ghost Shark didn't know how to explain, a gentle voice came into his ears.
When he looked up, he saw a gentle girl in a kimono. This girl was very delicate and pretty, and the gentleness between her eyebrows was incomparably fascinating.
Ghost Mermaid looked at the girl. Suddenly, he felt that his heart, which was as cold as ice, was beating even faster.
"Ji Zhu, are you bothering Mr. Ghost Shark again?" The girl walked up to them, slightly bowed to Ghost Mermaid, then said with an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ghost Mermaid. Ji Zhu is too willful."
"No … no, it's okay, Yami." Ghost Mermaid came back to his senses and immediately showed a smile, "Ji Zhu is a good boy. He has just finished a mission, so he wants to invite us to dinner."
Ghost Mermaid's face and his smile made him look a bit scary.
But the girl, Tanaka Yami, didn't care at all. She nodded and said, "I see. Then … Mr. Ghost Mermaid, will you come with us?"
"This …" Ghost Mermaid hesitated. He didn't know how to answer.
If it was his usual style in the Mist Village, he wouldn't say anything at all. He wouldn't feel any pressure or burden if he refused.
But now, he felt that he couldn't refuse at all.
Not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to see the disappointment in the eyes of these boys and girls.
Such a complicated feeling shouldn't appear on a ninja, but it did appear on a human.
Ghost Mermaid felt that he was starting to have that special feeling that he used to despise.
"This kind of emotion is very annoying, but also very beautiful."
Ghost Mermaid sighed inwardly, but his brain was working quickly, and he began to think about the time.
They were going to leave tonight, but there was no strict rule about the time.
So, did it mean that they wouldn't be late if they gathered before midnight?
As for Ghost Lantern Man's displeasure?
If he was unhappy, then so be it!
Usually, when he went on a mission with this guy, this guy never asked him to wait.
So this time, let him wait for a while.
Thinking of this, Ghost Mermaid smiled and said, "We can go together, but wait for me for a while. I'll get ready."
"Wow, you're so charming!" Hearing Ghost Mermaid's words, Ji Zhu showed an evil smile and said, "Just now, big brother Ghost Mermaid said that he might not be able to go with us."
"Ji Zhu!" Yami glared at Ji Zhu, then slightly bowed to Ghost Mermaid with a blushing face and said, "We understand. Then we'll leave first. When Mr. Ghost Mermaid is ready, we'll go together."
After that, Yami held Ji Zhu's hand and walked home. Ji Zhu, on the other hand, silently turned around and gave Ghost Shark a thumbs up.
Ghost Shark silently watched all this. He couldn't help but show a smile on his mouth corners, and he felt that his entire body was warmed up.
When the brother and sister returned to their home, he immediately turned around and went back to his own home, then quickly prepared the things he needed for the mission.
Kei Uchiha attached great importance to this mission. Ghost Mermaid didn't want to disappoint him, so he would naturally do his best.
Besides, while doing his best, he also had to think about how to come back alive. He had something he cared about, and he didn't want to die in a place like this!
"Wood Leaf is such a strange place. But maybe only with this kind of warmth can I be more motivated to fight?"
Ghost Mermaid thought to herself while cleaning up.
Ninjas didn't need feelings. They only needed to treat themselves as tools to give full play to their fighting power.
Kuroto learned this sentence in the Mist Village, but such a sentence seems a bit out of place in the current Konoha.
Because in Wood Leaf, ninjas weren't forbidden to have feelings.
In the past, Ghost Mermaid couldn't understand it. If they had feelings, how could they be so cold and indifferent at the critical moment?
But now, he seemed to understand. Because of these feelings, these ninjas could have such great fighting power.
Not only were they fighting for the village, but they were also fighting for the people in the village that they cared about.
They were fighting for the people they cared about and loved, so that they wouldn't be affected by the war, so that they could live a better life.
Under such emotions, the fighting power they could have was extremely terrifying. Sometimes, they would rather sacrifice themselves than let their loved ones be affected!
Ghost Mermaid had the same feeling, but he felt that he had to live up to Kei Uchiha, who had given him everything.
At the same time, he had a deeper desire. He wanted to come back alive. He wanted to complete the task perfectly. He had just enjoyed all of this. He couldn't fail in such a task.
Ghost Mermaid in the Mist Village was already dead. As the task in Whirlpool began, he was completely dead.
But Ghost Mermaid in the Wood Leaf Village came back to life. He wanted to be a real person who had something to cherish and something to protect!
…
"Why isn't she here yet?"
After Ghost Mermaid and Gengetsu left the office, Kei Uchiha didn't leave immediately. He looked at the clock on the wall and frowned slightly.
It was almost six o 'clock. He had an appointment with Aya Hyuga to have dinner outside tonight.
But it was almost time to get off work, and this woman still hadn't shown up. This made him feel a bit helpless.
He had heard a saying in his previous life. When a woman went out, she must be mentally prepared.
But he thought that this world seemed to be a ninja world. Why would it be so troublesome?
But now it seemed that he had underestimated some things.
Of course, he also knew that Aya Hyuga probably had other things to do.
For example, she still needed to participate in some internal decisions of the family.
This was something that couldn't be helped. Even though they had discussed it, and Aya Hyuga had clearly said that she wanted to learn from Kei Uchiha.
But the problem was that at this stage, Aya Hyuga's words were more useful than Hyuga's.
Even though she clearly said that Hyuga could handle it himself, Hyuga still didn't dare to come.
In fact, even Kei Uchiha would go to the family meeting if he had nothing important to do.
Even if he is just sitting there thinking about other things, his existence is a silent support for Uchiha Fugaku, the support for Uchiha Fugaku!
At the same time, it was also necessary to understand the situation of the family.
"It's really troublesome."
Kei Uchiha sighed faintly. He suddenly regretted why did he let Aya Hyuga go to this step.
However, this regret only lingered in his mind for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
It was actually very necessary to go to this step.
If Hyuga Aya really becomes a good wife and a loving mother who only knows how to stay at home, then their relationship will not necessarily be that good.
Moreover, Aya Hyuga was not a person who would stay idle. She came from the war, and at the same time, she was a person who would do anything to achieve her goals.
If she really became quiet, then perhaps the family would not be so quiet.
If this woman really became like that, then this woman would probably lose her pure characteristics.
Kei Uchiha didn't think about taming her. Even if there was a trace of such an idea, after that night, this idea has disappeared.
He hoped that this woman would still maintain her own characteristics, the kind of characteristics that belonged to her.
"Knock, knock, knock."
After waiting for a long time, Uchiha Keiji finally finished reading all the documents he was supposed to read, and finally, someone knocked on the door of his office.
Before he could ask, the door opened directly.
Seeing this scene, Kei Uchiha revealed a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth. In the Department of Security, besides Aya Hyuga, there was no one else who dared to do this.
He slightly raised his head and glanced at the time. It was almost seven o 'clock. It seems that this woman is really busy.
Putting down the documents in his hand, Kei Uchiha stretched his body and looked at the door. He was about to ask this woman what kind of meetings she had, but suddenly he was stunned.
In front of him, appeared, was indeed Aya Hyuga, but today she was completely different from usual.
At this moment, at this moment, Aya Hyuga was wearing a white kimono, and her pitch-black waterfall-like long hair was as elegant as before.
Her face seemed to have put on some simple makeup, looking more beautiful, but coupled with the indifferent expression that she was used to, it seemed a little cold.
Originally, Aya Hyuga was a woman with a good appearance, or it should be said that there were not many girls in the Hyuga Clan who looked bad.
This was very similar to the Uchiha Clan.
Even if Aya Hyuga was not the best, her temperament and her appearance were absolutely irresistible.
Otherwise, that unlucky Teru Hyuga might not have fallen for her, but in the end, because of Aya Hyuga's inner madness and resistance, he lost his life.
However, it was really the first time that Kei Uchiha saw Aya Hyuga dressed like this.
"What's wrong?" Just as Kei Uchiha was in a daze, Aya Hyuga's voice sounded in his ears, "Is there something wrong with my dress?"
"No, there isn't." Kei Uchiha came back to his senses, and his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at her up and down, "Very beautiful, or should I say, this is the first time I see you like this."
"Sigh, do you think I want to?" In the end, to his surprise, Aya Hyuga sighed faintly, "It was my mother who asked me to dress like this. She heard that I came out with you, so … Really, this is really inconvenient for battle."
Since young, Aya Hyuga was probably a woman who had not dressed so formally many times.
Coupled with her experience growing up, she really had no interest in dressing like this.
But after all, she was a person who cared about her family, and she really couldn't refuse her mother's request, so she dressed like this.
However, it had to be said that this dress really affected her fighting standards. Also, there was one thing that she didn't say, and that was that dressing like this was too eye-catching.
Along the way, from the moment she walked out of the house, she had attracted countless gazes.
This made her feel very unnatural, and she wasn't used to it.
But now, it seemed to be a little effective. She saw Kei Uchiha's dazed expression, and it made her feel a lot better.
Kei Uchiha smiled, then stood up and walked to her side, holding her hand gently, and said softly, "Very beautiful, and do you still need to worry about fighting with me?"
"Very beautiful, and do you still need to worry about fighting when you are with me?"
"I'm just complaining. Also, where are we going tonight?"
"Things are basically over, and we haven't been out for a long time …"
"Just me and you."
