[Comprehensive] If we have another possibility

Time fluttered from midsummer to deep winter, and as January was drawing to a close, the climate in Konoha became colder and colder.

In the early morning, an ordinary apartment ushered in two familiar people again.

"Empathy for other people's feelings? Still learning this?"

"...well, little progress."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and looked at the sakura-haired youth who seemed to be a little worried, and suddenly smiled.

He took off his cloak and walked towards him, caressed the center of his slightly frowning brows with his pale and slender fingers, slowly slid his body into his arms, raised his head and kissed his lips lightly, and said meaningfully: "Then, do you want Fei Shijun?" Try it... can you see how I feel right now?"

Fei Shi grabbed his hand that was messing with his face, looked up at him, and soon said with an unchanged expression: "I'm a little tired, I feel annoyed by the boring tasks, I walked in a hurry on the way back, and I have some kind of longing in my heart." .”

Orochimaru smiled appreciatively: "Isn't this great? Almost all of them."

Fei Shi lowered his eyes slightly: "This is just what I observed from you. It is a combination of details, micro-expressions and meticulous reasoning, not the kind of 'consideration' that Minato wants."

"...Fei Shi-kun is really kind to Namikaze Minato."

Orochimaru looked at him quietly, with a bit of sourness in his tone.

But he didn't get too entangled—in other words, he thought that a little ghost was nothing to him—and quickly put aside this, and asked instead: "In this case, Fei Shijun must know that I am What are you yearning for?"

His long and long pupils fixed his eyes on Fei Shi's face, and his gaze gradually became obsessed. The hand held by him moved flexibly and slightly, and successfully caressed the delicate white porcelain skin, lovingly caressing it.

Fei Shi glanced at him calmly, without answering, he directly stretched out his hand through his waist and the bend of his legs, and hugged him up.

The long, smooth hair of the black-haired man poured down with his movements, and shimmered in the middle, looking like precious silk.

He wrapped his arms around Fei Shi's neck, leaned forward slightly, and took the initiative to exchange a deep kiss with him. It was not until he was put on the bed that he reluctantly ended, and his fingertips caressed his pink lips after the kiss.

"To be honest, I am extremely grateful for the original decision, Fei Shijun...you are really great."

His feminine voice resounded in a low voice, which contained some kind of wonderful aftertaste and charm, his cheeks gradually became sickly red, his dark golden vertical pupils slowly enlarged, and there was a strange dark light flickering inside.

"I didn't think I could meet at any time before, but once I left you...you know, this boring task made me leave you for nearly two months, and I spent every minute and every second of the two months Miss you, miss everything you have brought me..."

As if recalling that feeling, he sighed almost blissfully, his golden eyes were blurred and bewildering, and he gazed at the person on his body as if expressing affection.

Uchiha Hime looked down at him, his green eyes were calm and deep, and he put his hand on his chin.

"So, what you said the night before you left was against your will? You really don't want it to end at all?"

Orochimaru's expression froze, a seductive blush immediately appeared on the base of his ears, and he smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Fei Shi looked at him expressionlessly, reached out and tugged off his collar casually.

"I see. This time I'll 'understand' how you feel."

When Feishi was leaving Orochimaru's apartment, he happened to meet Jiraiya.

When the white-haired man saw him, his eyes widened in surprise: "You... aren't you that nasty guardian of Minato?"

Before Fei Shi could answer, he glanced at the door behind him, and said in surprise: "Do you know Orochimaru?"

Fei Shi looked at him expressionlessly, ignored the second question, and said, "How is your material collection going? Minato has been looking forward to your guidance for several days."

Jilai also immediately showed the expression of being stepped on and hurt his foot, looking at the sky and the earth in embarrassment but not looking at him.

"Uh... this... elements, materials, you know, of course the more the better..."

Under the gaze of Fei Shi's indifferent eyes, he kept speaking in a whisper, showing a full guilty look.

However, to his surprise, the "abominable guardian" who thought he would question him just simply nodded, as if he believed it: "That's right. It's true."

Jiraiya's conscience was stabbed.He scratched his head with a forced smile: "Yes, yes! That's it! Hahaha..."

"Since that's the case, there's nothing I can do. I'll go back and tell Minato to let him learn the Flying Thunder God technique before disturbing you."

"Ah, um, okay, okay, let him learn the Flying Thunder God technique first, and when I'm done with this period of time, I will--Flying Thunder God technique?!"

Faced with one of the three ninjas who turned around at the speed of light and was stunned, the young man with cherry hair nodded calmly, his eyes drifting unobservably: "He did a good job in the last mission. In order to reward him, the third generation allowed him to choose one S-rank ninjutsu to learn. Don't you know?"

"Is there such a thing?" Zilai almost stared out of his eye sockets.

"Ah, I also think it's incredible." Fei Shi turned his gaze back, and said with a normal expression, his faint blue eyes were fixed on him, so deep that it made people feel creepy, "Because he seems to be very guilty of Minato. He also said that he was not strict in teaching, which delayed him."

He quietly looked at the man whose face started to break out in cold sweat, and whose face turned blue and red, and said calmly, "What do you mean by what the third generation said?"

One minute later, he forgot his original intention of coming to harass Orochimaru to drink, and the back of Jiraiya who fled in a panic disappeared from Feishi's sight.

He stood there with indifference for a while, turned around and opened the door, checked the state of the sleeping person on the bed, and then closed the door and left.

In the evening of that day, when the blond boy was walking home covered in ashes, he still had doubts on his face. He didn't understand why his unreliable teacher suddenly changed his temperament and grabbed him to practice seriously.

...Obviously he personally prefers to practice with Fei Shi.

Just as he was thinking like this, the sakura-haired young man at the corner of the street came into view from the corner of his eyes, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he ran a few steps to chase after him: "Fei Shi! Are you leaving get off work so early today?"

The person who was stopped stopped and turned around. During this time, Minato had already come to him, looking at him with a bright smile.

"Yeah." Fei Shi responded casually, his bright smiling face came into view with his downcast eyes, he paused, and then raised his hand to lightly poke his dirty forehead.

"It's so dirty. How did you make it look like this?"

Minato's cheerful expression froze, and he bit his lower lip in dissatisfaction: "It's because of cultivation... Jiraiya-sensei pulled me over on a whim today. He is good at earth escape, so I will end up like this."

He raised his arms and smelled himself, his small face wrinkled in a horrible way.

——A smell of earth sweat!He must be disgusted by Fei Shi!

"Let's go home quickly! I want to take a shower!"

He put down his arms and ran home in a hurry, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by the collar by Fei Shi.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just walk back slowly."

"...Ah?" Minato responded with some hesitation, and took a step outside cautiously, wanting to keep a distance from him, but didn't want to pay too much attention to Fei Shi and ignored the surroundings, almost bumped into a small vendor's stall cart passing by, and He was brought back by Fei Shi's collar and almost bumped his head into his arms.

"Are you okay? You look surprisingly stupid today. Are you too tired from training?"

A Qing Leng voice with a trace of doubt sounded above his head, Minato suffocated for breath, hurriedly backed out, and retorted without confidence: "W-what stupid, I don't think you have a cleanliness..."

"..."

Fei Shi looked at him silently, and suddenly scratched the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

"I won't despise you." He said lightly, holding him and starting to walk home.

Minato's expression was blank for a while.

He followed behind him in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He secretly looked up at him, touched his nose silently, and smiled silly with his head down.

After taking a bath and having dinner, the contented Minato took a pen and paper and got into the kotatsu, lying lazily on the table to perform the calculation of Flying Raijin, waiting for Feishi to come over to discuss together after washing the dishes.

This is the daily routine of the two of them at night. In the past, they read books together, but now they learn ninjutsu together. Either way makes Minato feel calm and warm in his heart, and it is his favorite time alone.

It's just that today is destined to be different.

There was a blunt frictional sound of pushing and pulling from the paper door behind him, and Minato turned around, stunned when he saw the person's attire clearly.

"Fei... Shi?" He called blankly, straightened up unconsciously, surprise and bewilderment flashed in his blue eyes.

The young man who had always only worn a simple ninja uniform changed into a kimono at some point and walked in from the porch.He was wearing a plain black kimono with a wide dark blue haori and a khaki scarf.

He was born with facial features that are not like ordinary people, but after putting on the kimono, his temperament became clearer. The black kimono made his skin whiter and fatter.

"This is yours, go and change it."

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Minato, who had been in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, looked dumbfounded at the kimono handed over by Feishi, and stammered and asked: "But, why? Today is not an important festival, There is no grand festival in the village—”

"There isn't one in the village, but there were winter festivals in the Fire Country in ancient times." Hishi said with an unchanged expression, handed the kimono to Minato, and rubbed his fluffy and soft blond hair after washing as he wished.

"What's more, today is indeed an important day."

He spoke in a calm tone, pushed the water door into his room, and added while closing the door: "Your birthday."

The door closed, and the boy's room fell into silence.

After a long while, the soft kimono fell silently on the tatami. The blond boy's ears were burning red. He squatted down with his hands covering his face, curled himself into a ball, and let out a low wail between his fingers.

— Am I really not dreaming?

Minato was wearing a kimono of the same color as Hime's haori, holding a candy apple in his right hand, holding him stiffly with his left hand, walking with him in the crowd with deep feet and shallow feet, still feeling incredible in his heart.

After changing into the kimono, he was picked up by Fei Shi and flew to Leishen here, and then he leisurely strolled around the festival. All this was to celebrate his birthday or something... It doesn't seem real, does it?

Because...it's so beautiful.

Minato couldn't help raising his head, staring blankly at the side face of the young man with cherry hair illuminated by the lights, so beautiful that it was not human-like, feeling unreal and cautious joy in his heart.

Suddenly, Fei Shi noticed his gaze and looked down at him.

In the dark night illuminated by street lamps, the young man with cherry hair looked down into his eyes, the color of his pupils appeared bright in the darkness, and he reached out and rubbed his head.

The coldness between his brows and eyes remained unchanged, but in Minato's heart, those coldness melted with his movements, turning into a tenderness enough to drown him.

"Is there anything you want?"

Fei Shi asked in a deep voice, the voice passed through the hustle and bustle of voices, and passed directly into Minato's heart.

He raised his face and looked at him, his throat rolled up and down, and wanted to shake his head and say no, it was already perfect, but he accidentally noticed the admiring eyes of the girl next to him looking at Fei Shi.

So he turned his mind, his eyes drifted to the surroundings, and he saw a mask booth at a glance. His blue eyes couldn't help but light up, like sapphires shining in the dark night.

He lightly tugged Fei Shi's hand: "I want that mask!"

Fei Shi looked into his eyes quietly, paused for a moment before stopping, and followed his gaze to the side.

The owner of the mask seller had already noticed Minato. Seeing that Hishi also looked over at this moment, he quickly started to sell with a smile: "Buy me a mask for my brother! One is only 70 yen, and two of them will be 100 yen for you!"

Minato frowned reflexively: "We are not brothers!"

"Hey? Is that so? Haha, I'm sorry, guest!"

Not paying attention to this episode, Fei Shi stretched out his hand, took off the smiling cat mask Minato pointed at just now, and asked him, "This?"

Minato saw how he didn't care about anything other than himself, and suddenly laughed.

"Well, this is it. Which one does Fei Shi want?"

Fei Shi was taken aback: "I don't need to—"

"Whoever you want!" Minato interrupted him with a smile, shaking his hand reluctantly.

There seemed to be a hint of helplessness in the eyes of the cherry-haired youth: "...Do whatever you want."

"Then..." Minato turned his head to look at the dazzling array of masks, and it took him a long time to pick out a smiling fox mask: "That's it!"

Fei Shi had no objection, just took it off, then took out his wallet to pay, turned around, and put the cat mask on Minato's face.

"……suitable for you."

He looked at it twice, praised him sincerely, and retracted his hand to put on his mask.

The cold voice came through the thin material, and Minato looked up at him, suddenly thankful that he put on the mask in time to cover his hot cheeks.

He blushed more and more in front of Fei Shi recently, as if... he was about to lose control of his emotions.

——This is not acceptable, Fei Shi doesn't want to see him do stupid things that cross the line.

...but, at the end of the day.

The blond boy reached out and pressed the edge of the mask, the edges of his fingertips were slightly white, and the depths of his blue eyes gradually revealed darkness.

——Why can’t you cross the line?

The bewitching thought exuding the fragrance of poppies was fleeting in his mind, without staying too long, but leaving a shallow trace.

With his face tightly hidden behind the mask, the genius boy who is good at disguising let go of himself after a long time. Relying on the cover of the mask, he finally dared to stare at the people around him blatantly, his blue eyes shining with stars.

His eyes are as warm as water.

Together with him, he admired the ice sculptures that are a feature of winter, tasted the most authentic octopus balls, and played the festival-specific hoop game—of course, in order not to bully the store, he just tasted it.

In the end, they sneaked up on the wall of the ancient capital, waiting for the fireworks to bloom in the festival.

The high altitude in winter was a bit cold, and Minato piled up all the gifts he had won to Feishi, and he smiled with his brows and eyes crooked, feeling that he had never been so happy.

The young man wearing the fox mask was silent for a moment, and with difficulty, he freed his hands, lifted the mask, put it on his head at an angle, exhaled slightly, looked at Minato and asked, "Is it cold?"

Minato shook his head with a smile, lifted his mask, and looked sideways at the noisy street under the city wall.

Looking at the people walking together, laughing and laughing, his brows and eyes gradually softened, and he said with emotion: "The ancient capital of the Fire Kingdom is much more prosperous than Konoha."

Fei Shi glanced down, and calmly said: "You can't say that, after all, there are many foreign tourists and vendors today."

"Is that so..."

Minato sighed thoughtfully, was silent for a while, and his eyes gradually settled down.

He suddenly said: "I want to protect this kind of life all the time. Not only my own, but everyone in the village...I want to protect all of these."

Fei Shi glanced at him in no surprise, and continued, "As Hokage?"

Minato clenched his fists nervously, turned to look at him, and nodded cautiously: "...Well, as Hokage."

Fei Shi saw the anxiety on his face.He tilted his head and looked at him calmly, with a cold expression, but there was a sense of calmness and comfort, which made Minato, who mustered up the courage to speak out his dream, slowly relax.

After that, he heard the person he regarded as his life say: "You can definitely do it. I have always believed in this."

The air became silent, and the young man's voice disappeared in the cold wind, but Minato felt that the words he said were still echoing in his ears, endlessly, thousands of times.

He stared at him for a long time, feeling his eye sockets getting wet, in order to conceal this disappointment, he turned his head, looked at the peaceful capital city and said softly:

"Look, this place is still so peaceful and prosperous, and it has not been affected by the flames of the Second Ninja World War."

"Because it's far away from the battlefield, and there are no famous nobles with high status."

Fei Shi casually stated the reason, and sharply pointed out the key point: "And in the final analysis, war is just a battle between ninjas and ninjas. Civilians are always victims, not participants."

"..." Minato lowered his eyes silently, and his voice became softer: "My parents died in the war. Although I don't have any relevant memories, for some reason, this has always been engraved in my heart. I always It feels like, the world has been at war, and it's been like this since I was born."

Fei Shi was silent.

In his memory, the world had been peaceful for a long time, that was in the place where he first lived and when Konoha was first established.

Minato didn't care about his silence, just immersed in his own thoughts, and continued to speak in a low voice.

"Before you found me, I was an orphan picked up by Konoha. I like Konoha, she is my hometown, with kind people and friendly friends. I later entered the ninja school and became a ninja. Work hard, although many people say that ninjas are just weapons, but I think even if it’s just a knife, it has a heart, and this heart is willing to beat for the village.”

Speaking of this, he seemed to smile slightly, his blue eyes reflected the lights in the distance in the dark, shining brightly like the starry sky in the dark night.

"But I've always wanted to know what the world would look like without war, whether the so-called ruthless ninjas who can only obey orders can stop being cold-blooded weapons and become another existence that protects others .”

In the cold high sky, the boy's voice was warm and firm. He looked up at the stars in the sky, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Fei Shi turned his head to look at the smile on the young man's face, his brows stretched.

The two of them stood on the ancient city wall, there was no one else around, the black silk-like night sky was above their heads, and behind them were fluttering laughter and flickering lights.

Minato stood in a distance that was incompatible with the noise, but he didn't feel the slightest loneliness in his heart, only a tranquility that was close to happiness.

He smiled warmly, and said in a calm tone: "When this winter is over, I will also go to the battlefield."

Fei Shi withdrew his gaze from staring at him, looked forward expressionlessly, and nodded slowly after a while.

"……Um."

Minato was silent for a while, then suddenly turned around and hugged him.

The things in his arms fell to the ground, Fei Shi looked down at the top of Minato's hair slightly, put his hand on his thin back, and said calmly, "You will be fine."

Minato buried her head in his arms, and it took a long time before she chuckled and said softly, "I'm not afraid of death."

—I'm just afraid I'll never see you again.

His voice was too small, it was blown away by the cold wind the moment he exited, and none of it reached Fei Shi's ears.

He only heard him chuckle, and after a while he heard him say: "Of course I'll be fine, I still have to witness the day when Fei Shi really becomes a human being."

"..."

Fei Shi was strangely silent, conveying an inexplicable sense of "I'm not confident".

Minato, who tacitly received his voice, let out a chuckle, let go of him, and bent his eyes into crescents.

"I know you can't do without me, so I've come up with a good solution. Fei Shi, do you still remember that time when I helped the old lady carry the luggage, and you told me that kind of behavior was unnecessary?"

Fei Shi nodded: "I remember. So?"

Minato didn't answer his words, and instead asked a question: "Fei Shi, tell me the truth, have you ever tried to do anything for others?"

"Of course." Fei Shi immediately gave an affirmative answer.

Minato smiled: "Well... it doesn't refer to the kind of rewarding and transactional doing things, it refers to whether you have done something for others without asking for anything in return."

The affirmation on Fei Shi's face disappeared, and turned into incomprehension and deep thought.

Minato showed the expected expression: "No?"

"……No."

"Well, I think so."

Fei Shimo paused, then frowned: "I don't think that kind of behavior is meaningful."

Minato crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said with a serious face: "[Useful Theory] Prohibition! Now I have the final say! Listen carefully, for the goal of 'becoming a person' and 'showing a smile', you have never From now on, you have to help one person every day, and even one day is not enough!"

"..."

The expression of the cherry-haired youth fell into a terrible blank.

After a long while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and asked with some difficulty: "What about the group?"

"There is no such thing! The target is all the people who appear in front of you in trouble!"

"...for no reason?"

"No reason!"

"...completely free?"

"Totally gratuitous!"

Resolutely cutting off all the escape routes of the young man with cherry hair, Minato looked at the other party, who seemed to have appeared on the face of the other party with a bewildered expression of "Who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?" Finally, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. come out.

Fei Shi glanced at him with suspicion in his eyes: "You are not kidding me, are you?"

Minato quickly became serious: "How is it possible!"

Fei Shi frowned: "But it's too troublesome to do so, and it doesn't have any effect."

"Who said it won't work!" Minato stared at him quite dissatisfied, "You won't understand anything else, but at least I will be happy when I see the smile of the person being helped!"

Fei Shi slightly opened his eyes.

He stared at Minato intently, his green eyes showed a slight daze, which gradually turned into confusion and struggle, weighing and comparing.

But in the end, he stared at Minato's unshakable eyes full of determination, all hesitation slowly disappeared, and turned into a calm that seemed to be helpless.

He looked at the boy with sighing eyes, and for the first time in his life, he made a compromise on something he couldn't agree with.

"Well, since it's your judgment. I'm willing to do it for you."

Minato's eyes lit up suddenly, and he raised his right hand and stretched out his little finger for fear that he would go back on his word: "The Feishi must do what he says! We have an agreement!"

Fei Shi looked at him from the side, his blue eyes were as clear as dark emeralds, his cold side face was illuminated by the dim yellow light in the distance, it seemed that for a moment it was inconceivably tainted with softness, but when Minato looked over again in astonishment, , that soft spot disappeared without a trace, without any sign of existence, so fast that people thought it was an illusion.

Before he could react, Fei Shi stretched out his hand and gently hooked his little finger.

"Well, it's agreed."

The voice was cold, and in Minato's ears, it was full of seriousness and softness that made his eyes warm.

His pupils contracted suddenly, and he suddenly felt an indescribable shaking in his chest. An unprecedented impulse enveloped him, making his breathing quicken, his heart beating violently, and his fingertips trembling nervously because of being too nervous. Trembling, the whole body is constantly hot and hot, and there is a voice in my heart screaming crazily——

Speak!Say it now!Tell him now!

His lips trembled, he took a sudden step forward, firmly grasped Fei Shi's arm, and said in a trembling voice under his puzzled eyes: "Fei Shi, listen to me...I...I like— —!”

"Oh!"

Countless dazzling fireworks bloomed above the head, and the bright roar drowned out the unsteady voice of the young man.

Fei Shi turned his gaze, glanced at the magnificent and magnificent splendor all over the sky, and then withdrew his gaze as usual, staring at the stunned young man in bewilderment.

He did not hear.

Thinking of this, Minato suddenly felt a great loss in his heart.

The lips of the person on the opposite side moved, as if calling his name inquiringly.

Minato pursed his lips slightly, closed his eyes tightly to hold back his unwillingness, didn't dare to delay too long, quickly restrained his emotions, raised his eyes again, smiled at Fei Shi, and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Fei Shi tilted his head, not dwelling on this, and looked up at the sky again.

Hundreds of fireworks bloom simultaneously in the dark night, creating a magnificent and grand picture that will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

The young man who focused on the sky didn't know that at this moment, with the star-studded sky as the background, the brightness between his brows and eyes was unprecedented, and the fireworks blooming in the blue eyes were brighter than real fireworks, and they were more beautiful. The exquisite and handsome appearance is as beautiful and fresh as a watercolor painting.

The blond boy stared at him intently, so cherished that he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly like the wings of a butterfly, and the churning emotion in his chest made his heart beat uncontrollably.

After the fireworks were over, Fei Shi blinked his eyes back to his senses, turned his hands to look at the person next to him with his head bowed, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, I'm here to celebrate your birthday today. Apart from what we have now, Do you want anything else for your birthday?"

"..."

Minato's lips moved, as if he couldn't find his own voice for a while.

"what?"

Fei Shi didn't hear clearly, put his hands on his knees and approached him, and then he heard a question in an unsteady voice: "...Is everything okay?"

Without thinking too much, he nodded directly: "Of course, I can buy you whatever you want—"

The cold voice stopped abruptly.

At this moment, the sound of the wind was still, the breathing was intertwined, and the sweetness of the young man lingered on the tip of his nose.

The cold eyes widened uncontrollably, staring blankly at the eyebrows that were close at hand, surprise and hesitation flashed in the pupils.

"...No need to buy it."

The young man took a step back slightly, breathing unsteadily, and trembling words spit out from his moist pink lips.

He slowly put his arms around the young man's neck, leaned against his ear with red ears, and said softly, "I only need this."
