Silver light paved the way, and the night was quiet enough to hear the chirping of flying insects.

Ye Zi looked at the girl who made her irritable and said coldly: "Is there anything wrong?"

The two short words made the air feel a little chilling, and the sound of insects seemed to be lowered at this moment.

The boy exuded a cold aura of being kept away from thousands of miles away, but Kushina did not retreat at all. Her eyes moved away from the bandages and turned to Ye Zi's cold eyes. Her tone seemed as natural as more than a year ago, and she smiled and said, "What are you carrying in your hand? Is it delicious?"

Ye Zi glanced at the lunch box in her hand, then looked at Kushina with a smile in silence, and her mood became more and more irritable.

Looking at the silent Ye Zi, a trace of loss flashed through JiuXingna's eyes, but it was soon filled with bright light. She was like a chatterbox and continued to ask: "The little flower on the cloth towel wrapped in the lunch box is very cute. It seems to be a girl. Is she your new friend? Is the dish she cooks delicious?"

Under the silver light, the girl kept nagging. With the moonlight, Ye Zi's eyes were still filled with indifference, but he carefully looked at Jiu Xina. As he grew older, his beautiful face seemed to be slowly overlapping with the most important person in his memory. Perhaps in two or three years, his appearance will be more similar.

"Do you know? I'm very good at cooking now. After you laughed at me, I put in the effort to learn it."

Feeling Ye Zi's unchanged cold gaze, Kushina's cheerful tone slowly became low, and a faint sadness appeared in her eyes. Until today, she still didn't understand why Ye Zi became so suddenly and so indifferent.

She slowly closed her mouth, and after a long silence, she finally said what she wanted to ask the most: "Why are you hurt? Does it hurt?"

The strap that almost wrapped around the body shows that the injury was not light, so why doesn’t it hurt?

Ye Zi's cold eyes changed a little. In my memory, at that time, he could fight even a piece of moldy bread. Sometimes he picked up stinky seafood and felt like he was getting a treasure, but accompanied by a more intense battle. Every time he returned to his simple residence with a wound, someone would look at his wound with a look of regret, and would always say this to himself.

A hard-to-detect sadness flashed through his dark pupils. He stared at Kushina silently. After a moment, he picked up the lunch box slightly and said coldly: "Is there anything else?"

Kushina was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered her head and whispered: "It's okay."

Ye Zi looked at Jiu Yuna who lowered her head, but his cold eyes became particularly gentle like an iceberg melting in this moment. His eyes were terrifyingly gentle, as if the person in front of him was an extremely precious relative, but soon, the gentle eyes returned to cold again.

The water gate, hiding in the dark, captured Ye Zi's tenderness flashing away, with a slightly stunned expression. Then he watched Ye Zi disappear from his sight thoughtfully.

On the quiet street, Kushina looked at the ground covered by Yinhui, with a sad expression. After a moment, she raised her head and still had a strong expression. She looked at the road ahead and took the first step and the second step.

The water gate walked on the roof, looked at the girl under the moonlight and walked with her.

They were walking on the same road, in the same direction, and on the other direction, on the other road, there was the boy who seemed to have a touch of tenderness in the cold shell.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Every day after that, Ye Zi always received the blood-enhancing food cooked by the medical ninja. He silently thanked the girl. Thanks to these food-enhancing dishes, his body recovered faster than usual. Occasionally, he would meet inadvertently, but there seemed to be an indescribable understanding between them. He would never look at each other more, and he could not even be a nodding relationship.

Ye Zi doesn't want to have too much involvement with this world. He can wake up and thank her when he is treated. Because that is her job, he will not thank her just because the other party prepares these foods that can make the body heal faster, even though it is so simple to say thank you.

He has his reasons, but what about that girl?

Sometimes he wondered why the girl did this, but every time he quickly suppressed the doubts and turned his head and plunged into the sea of ​​books.

Two weeks later, after his injuries recovered, Ye Zi was soon sent another mission, which was to assassinate the spy hidden in Konoha.

After stole confidential information about spy identity information from the Iwa Ninja last time, Nen immediately carried out a secret purge on Konoha. However, a truly outstanding spy would not leave identity information in the ninja village. They had excellent disguise methods and terrible ability to steal intelligence. No one knew who their intelligence handover was, and no one knew what their way of sending intelligence was.

These outstanding Iwa Nin spies are hidden in Konoha. There is no connection between spies and spies. Each spy has a specific contact person. The only person who knows all spies identities is the main person in charge of the intelligence agency.

Spy is a very troublesome existence.

Although the information stolen by Ye Zi cleaned the spy, the most critical point was not pulled out.

However, Konoha's roots are not vegetarians. They found three suspects in just two weeks. Ye Zi's task is to observe and confirm the true identities of these three suspects, and then... kill them!

Among the three suspects, there is an old man named Takuya Kimura, but Ye Zi knew him. This old man lived alone. Judging from the intelligence information, the old man is an ordinary resident of Konoha with very old qualifications and the first group of residents since the founding of Konoha. Apart from not marrying a wife, there is nothing strange about his life experience. It is hard to imagine that an old man with such an old qualification would be one of the suspects.

"Taoyang Kimura."

Ye Zi looked at the information quietly, thinking that after graduating from ninja school, wasn’t the first task to help the elderly living alone remove weeds? I still vaguely remember the old man’s old face and the kind smile he showed from time to time. Such a person would actually be one of the suspects.

The cold eyes fell on the person in the photo. The wrinkled skin was like a tree bark that was about to die. The spots of old people highlighted the dead spirit like drooping twilight, but the eyes that were not turbid were still clear.

At dusk, Ye Zi was wearing casual clothes and carrying the yam soup he bought from Juxia's house to Takuya Kimura's home.

Takuya Kimura lives in the suburbs, with fields next to his home, and he has a large area of ​​fields that he uses to grow vegetables.

When the sun sets west, it is just at the end of the field road. Ye Zi can see the wooden house shining under the orange light from afar, and Takuyang Kimura sitting on the wooden corridor holding hot tea.

Ye Zi walked towards the wooden house in a natural pace, walked in front of the fence gate, and shouted to Takuyang Kimura: "Grandpa Kimura, I'm here to see you."

"oh?"

Takuya Kimura narrowed his left eye, but raised his right eye, as if he had difficulty opening it. He looked at the boy in front of the fence, and found confusion from the opened right eye, trying to think about who the boy was. Then, he looked at the yummy beside the teapot, and then suddenly said, "It's you, come in, hoho."

Ye Zi smiled slightly, pushed open the fence door and walked in.

Takuyang Kimura patted his side gently and signaled Ye Zi to sit down. The latter sat down honestly and was about to hand the bought yam soup to the old man when he suddenly saw the yam soup in the saucer beside the teapot. He was stunned. The faint fragrance that floated between his nose showed that it was the yam soup in the lower house.

Takuya Kimura looked at the packaging box handed over by Ye Zi, and after a giggle, he said, "This afternoon, the girl who was with you used to come to visit me with her yam soup. You are so kind. I still remember that the old man, I like to eat yam soup that I live in."

Hearing that Kushina came this afternoon, Ye Zi's expression did not change. She smiled slightly, handed the yolk soup to Takuya Kimura, and said, "How are you?"

"I've gotten old bones. I can't live for a few years. But when I see you full of vitality, I always feel that I can live for a few more years." The old man squinted his eyes, looked at the sunset that was about to fall, and let out a long sigh.

Ye Zi smiled and said, "You are getting stronger and stronger, and you will definitely be able to live for decades."

The old man bent his eyes slightly and said, "The sun is setting, if you don't have a hurry, stay for supper."
