After dinner it’s time to rest.

But Minato had to learn.

Mei Ji brought the textbooks, a thick book with complete explanations of sealing techniques.

"Anyway, write this down first."

Minato nodded yes.

Then, Mei Ji began to give formal lessons.

What Mito told them once before was passed on to Minato.

The three of them listened with great interest, with a trace of nostalgia in their eyes.

Unconsciously, many years have passed, but the scene at that time still seems like yesterday.

After the class ended, Mei Ji looked at the time.

"We'll stay here today. Come over for dinner after school tomorrow."

Minato's eyes showed a hint of expectation.

"Okay, Master Chongji."

Meiji didn't send Minato away and let him go back by himself.

There are no female perverts on the night roads in the village, so there is nothing to worry about.

The following days were very ordinary, going to and from school, attending classes at Meiji's place, and on the weekends it was still a survival exercise.

Minato had a doubt, he still had no clue as to who dragged him out of the woods and who healed his injuries.

After a while, Minato got used to such an ordinary routine.

Gradually, on the way to the survival exercise on the weekend, I ran faster and faster. Even after I passed out and went home, I ran much faster on the way home.

I arrived at the village very late at first, and gradually saw the village in the dark.

Getting better.

A month later, even during the survival exercise, Minato did not faint. For the first time, he persisted throughout the whole process.

Minato was a little confused when he saw the insect girl in a hood and smock.

"The knot...it's over..." Chongmei stuttered but said hard.

She didn't like to talk very much, and no one forced her to do so.

Is it practice?

Minato showed his signature cheerful smile to the insect girl.

Chongmei doesn't like this.

Besides, Minato, who was covered in redness, swelling and burns, didn't have a decent smile.

Minato didn't feel any pain, although it did hurt, but the pain strengthened his will.

"You don't have to come here anymore..."

After flapping her wings, the insect girl flew up and disappeared from Minato's eyes.

When Minato walked out of the forest, large swarms of insects flew in from the forest path and crawled all over Minato's body.

Not afraid, Minato watched as the bugs on his body kept dying.

Is this how it was originally treated?

Just watching life passing away in front of my eyes, or for myself, this kind of treatment is a bit sad.

After it was over, looking at the insect shells all over the ground, Minato clasped his hands together.

"Thank you, bad bugs."

After thanking him gratefully, Minato collected the insect shells, dug a hole and buried it. He collected one insect shell and put it carefully into his pocket.

Minato set out on his way home, his eyes filled with anticipation.

What kind of practice will you do next?

It would be fine if I didn't endorse it.

The sunset gradually sets in the west, and then the night sky rises.

At the border of the Kingdom of Water, a group of ninjas were running fast and desperately.

He is just an ordinary spy, belonging to Konoha. Unlike those elites, he is not good at illusions, taijutsu, and ninjutsu. His only advantage is that he is ordinary.

As a dangerous character like an enemy spy, being normal is an outstanding advantage.

This means not attracting attention.

He has been lurking in the Kingdom of Water for a long time. During the First World War, after simple training, he came here at a young age. From then on, he grew up here, got married, and had children.

People like him should have remained silent like this.

Spend your life in obscurity without attracting attention.

No, it is necessary to live such a life.

He didn't want to die, he didn't want his wife to cry, and he didn't want his children to lose their father.

He can also live such a life.

The village may have forgotten him a long time ago. Over the years, he has long been disconnected from the line. The last instruction was to keep silent and pay attention to Kirigakure's unusual movements.

He can pretend not to know anything and continue to live his ordinary daily life.

"Forgive me! Forgive me! Forgive me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Who are you apologizing to?

Wife, children, neighbors and friends.

Everyone is kind and amiable.

Tears flowed freely on his face as he ran wildly.

Who am I now?

Konoha's ninja?

Ordinary villagers in Kirigakure?

But, he wants to do what he thinks is right.

Can't run away...

He stopped and looked at the intercepting Kirigakure chasing troops ahead.

"You guys are really difficult to deal with. Make it easy for us to find you."

"What nonsense are you talking to him about? Get rid of him and go back quickly."

"That's right, please get on your way and I'll give you a clear answer."

He cried and laughed.

"It's too late."

late?

The ninjas who were chasing the troops looked at each other in confusion.

Did this guy pass on the information?

"Bastard!" The chasing ninja was furious and shouted angrily: "Kill him!"

Four figures rushed out at the same time.

Blood splashed on the soft and clear beach. As the tide rose and fell, some small sand crabs poked their heads out to clean the blood and keep it clean.

Regardless of the ebb and flow, it just wants to protect the home in its heart.

This is all true.

A ninja eagle soars in the sky and crows from time to time.

It is going home, to the place where it was born.

The entire Kirigakure has been put under martial law. This is a big move. It is a normal operation to seal off the village to prevent information leakage. Anyone who does not act in accordance with the regulations will be killed without mercy.

The free-range Ninja Eagle has been living outside the village.

The envelope on my back contains important information.

Three days later, the ninja on duty saw the strange Ninja Eagle.

I fed the reward food as usual, opened the envelope, and looked at the sealing wax and paint marked as important information with a solemn expression.

The highest level?

Picking up the letter, the ninja ran quickly.
