Naruto: The Brightest Star

Snowflakes fall one by one, and the first snow of this winter seems to be particularly cold.

Uchiha Xing exhaled lightly, and white mist floated in the air, then disappeared quietly.

Some time ago, Uchiha Xing received a message from a spy in the Water Kingdom that a huge icicle suddenly appeared in a village. Although the news disappeared after a few days, Uchiha Xing searched for it and still found out the specific location of the incident and the approximate cause of the incident.

Bai, it's you...

Uchiha Xing looked up at the gray sky, then wandered on the sparsely populated streets.

When passing by a bun shop, I bought a few buns and then continued on my way.

Snowflakes fell one by one. On an isolated bridge, a black-haired child curled up on the ground, hugging his legs.

It’s so cold… and so hungry… Will I die here?

I guess so... Who made me kill so many people... I am a monster... Dying here should be the best ending...

The child looked at the ground with somewhat empty eyes.

"crunch, crunch..."

That was the sound of feet stepping on fresh snow.

Hearing this sound, the child subconsciously hugged himself tightly.

The sound of footsteps came from far away, and suddenly the child heard the footsteps stop suddenly.

Are you not leaving?

The child lowered his head. I don't know what he was thinking. He raised his head, as if he wanted to see why the man didn't leave...

Then, the child saw a girl in a gray coat, holding a steaming paper bag in her arms and a bitten bun in her hand, looking at him curiously.

Seeing the girl still looking at him, the child felt a little ashamed, and then he lowered his head.

The next second, the bag of steaming buns appeared in front of the child.

"Want to eat?"

The girl asked the child gently.

The child hesitated, nodded, raised his hand to take one, but looked at his dirty hands and put it back.

Uchiha Xing looked at the reserved child in front of him, stuffed the buns into Bai's arms, then sat on the ground and ate all the buns in his hand in no time.

"Are you going to eat it? It will get cold if you don't eat it now, and it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Uchiha Xing looked at Bai and urged him.

Looking at the buns in his hand, Bai swallowed, then followed Uchiha Xing to thank him, then took one out and started eating.

Uchiha Xing propped up his chin and looked at Bai who was eating voraciously, then said: "Some time ago, I heard that a huge ice spike suddenly appeared in a village and killed many people. This was done by you, right?"

Bai, who was eating, was stunned for a moment after hearing Uchiha Xing's words, then slowly put down half of the bun in his hand and looked up at Uchiha Xing.

"So you're here to kill me?"

Bai tilted his head and looked at Uchiha Xing, then smiled.

"If you are here to kill me, then do it. But I still want to thank you for letting me eat before I die."

Looking at Bai's calm expression, Uchiha Xing couldn't help but think of Bai's final ending.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of character that it becomes a regret in the hearts of many people.

"I'm not here to kill you. I've learned everything about you. It's not your fault. You just want to live."

Uchiha Xing supported his chin and looked at Bai and spoke softly.

"But if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died. It's all my fault."

Bai said as he curled up again.

"No, you are all right. It is this country that is wrong. The Mizukage believes that people with bloodline limits are guilty. So people who don't know the truth think that all people with special abilities are unknown and are monsters."

"They listen to the words of those in high positions and take their words as the truth. When an ominous person appears, they choose to eliminate the ominous person for the sake of survival and safety."

"This country is no longer willing to accept people with bloodline limits, so are you willing to come with me? I can give you a place to live and help you become stronger. When you are able to stand on your own, perhaps you can change the current situation of this country."

Uchiha Xing said as he stood up and held out his hand to Shiro.

Change this country?

Bai hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand to Uchiha Xing.

I want kids like me to have a different path.

"Let's go."

Uchiha Xing took Bai to the hotel where he was staying, cleaned up Bai and changed him into new clothes.

Uchiha Xing was not in a hurry to take Bai away from here, but began to teach Bai how to control his own power.

At the same time, Uchiha Xing has been paying attention to the news about the Kaguya clan.

When Bai had full control over his abilities, Uchiha Xing taught Bai some basic ninjutsu.

At the same time, Uchiha Xing also noticed some turmoil in the Hidden Mist Village.

"Bai, we're leaving."

Uchiha Xing jumped down from the wooden stake and raised his hand to pat the head of Bai who was practicing physical skills.

"I understand, teacher."

Bai nodded obediently, then picked up his small backpack and left with Uchiha Xing.

The fog in the village had not yet dissipated, and Uchiha Xing was walking along a river with Bai.

There was no one there, only Uchiha Xing and Bai.

"Teacher, where are we going next?"

Bai looked up and asked Uchiha Xing.

"I'll take you to the Rain Country, and I'll take you to meet one of your future teammates."

Uchiha Xing said casually, and soon they saw a child squatting under a tree and talking to himself.

Future teammates?

Bai tilted his head in confusion, but did not ask the question in his mind.

“Why is it opened here?”

"why do not you answer me?"

"Are you ignoring me too..."

Kimimaro looked at the flower that was blooming where no one was around, and clenched the bone blade in his hand.

"Opening it in a place like this, where no one can see it..."

"Teacher, is he chatting with a flower?"

"Apparently, yes."

A voice suddenly sounded, making Kimimaro stunned. Then he turned around and saw two people, one tall and one short, standing not far behind him.

"It's just a flower. It doesn't choose where it blooms."

"But, as long as it blooms, one day someone or some other creature will see its beauty. Just like I see you."

Uchiha Xing said as he walked towards Kimimaro and raised his hand to gently rub Kimimaro's head.

"Are you interested in coming with me?"

"I am needed, right?"

Kimimaro looked up at Uchiha Hoshi and asked.

"Yeah, I need you."

Uchiha Star looked at Kimimaro with a smile.

"Good~"

Kimimaro laughed, and laughed happily.

Bai looked at Kimimaro, then at Uchiha Xing, and for some reason, three words popped up in his mind.

Human traffickers!

Bai shook his head vigorously to get rid of this terrible thought.

How could the teacher be a human trafficker! She just likes to pick up children! That’s right! She just likes to pick up children!

Bai kept comforting himself.

"Bai, squat down."

Uchiha Xing's voice suddenly sounded, and Bai subconsciously did as he was told.

A black shadow quickly flew over Bai's head and rushed straight towards Uchiha Xing.

"Den!"

Uchiha Xing turned around silently and saw a poisonous snake biting his kunai tightly.

quiet……

The venomous snake opened its mouth somewhat sluggishly, and with a "click", its two fangs shattered and fell to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

The poisonous snake retreated quickly and then crawled into a sleeve.

Uchiha Xing turned around and looked at the man in a white kimono, with black hair and snake eyes who was gradually emerging from the fog.

"Haori-hoshi? Haha, as far as I know, haven't you always emphasized being a businessman? Why didn't you do business in the Rain Country but came to the Hidden Mist Village instead?"

Orochimaru chuckled and looked at the Uchiha Star.

"Ah my~ Isn't this Orochimaru? Why isn't he staying in Konoha, and why is he here?"

Uchiha Xing glanced at the pair of shallow tooth marks on the kunai and looked at Orochimaru with a smile.

Bai had already run to Uchiha Xing's side.

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Xing with narrowed eyes, then his gaze swept over the two children beside Uchiha Xing.

"It looks like you got two nice treasures here~ I'm really envious."

Orochimaru said this and subconsciously licked his lips.

Uchiha Xing took a step forward and blocked Shirakawa Kimimaro behind him.

"They are my students."

So don't bother with them.

"Oh~"

Orochimaru looked the Uchiha Star up and down and chuckled.

"You look no more than fourteen. Can you teach them well? Why not leave it to me? At least I can help them realize their full potential."

Orochimaru smiled and walked towards Uchiha Star step by step.

"Hey! Who told you that you can't be a good teacher just because you're young?"

Uchiha Xing looked at the other party without showing any weakness.

"Bai, and that child, you two should protect yourselves."

Uchiha Xing said as he walked forward.

At this time, a hand grabbed Uchiha Xing's clothes.

Uchiha Xing turned around and saw Kimimaro pulling his clothes with one hand and holding the bone blade with the other.

"Use me to kill him?"

Kimimaro looked up at himself with a hopeful expression on his face.

"Need not."

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and patted Kimimaro's head and continued: "Leave this to me, you and Bai just watch from the side."

"Ok."

Kimimaro lowered his eyes with a look of loss.

"Listen to the teacher."

Bai grabbed Kimimaro's arm and pulled him back a few steps.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Bai, what's yours?"

Shiro gave Kimimaro a very friendly smile.

Kimimaro glanced at Bai, then turned his head and said, "Kimimaro."

"Well, I'll give you lots of guidance in the future, Kimimaro."

Shiro gave Kimimaro a very friendly smile.

"Um……"

On the other side, Uchiha Star and Orochimaru had already started fighting.

Although, at this time, Orochimaru had not yet mastered software transformation like he would in the later years, he still had many life-saving skills.

While Orochimaru was fighting with Uchiha Hoshi, he tried to get closer to Haku and Kimimaro.
