Just wait till you die

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a bustling world. There are huge crowds of people at the temple fair, and the tip of my nose is filled with the aroma of food, but I can’t tell what those are, and I can’t name them.Sasuke was still holding me, walking, waiting for my surprise for him.

As an adult, you should buy something for the children at the temple fair, whether it is food or play.This should be a piece of cake, but for me, it's so hard, I've never been to a rally like this, and I've never gone out with friends to visit any store, a stall, so I try to avoid talking to strangers I also kept a distance from those street vendors, so as not to let them find out that I don’t understand anything.

Sasuke's face is getting more and more broken, so if he keeps walking without any entertainment, sooner or later he will break up unhappy.I was wondering if I should muster up the courage to ask what the round little snack that was being dialed around was, but I heard someone calling our name.

"Xion! Sasuke!"

We looked over and saw Jie in a wheelchair behind a candy stand.

Let's go.

"Your injury?" I asked.

He waved his arms in good condition, "Look, Teacher Qihai said let me go, and I'll be fine. In the end, my father insisted on going to the temple fair with my mother, and left me here alone to guard the stall."

He was melancholy for a while, and then said happily: "Does Xiyin want to eat candy?"

"No." I refused.

"Why don't you try this one." He didn't listen to what I said at all, and handed over a bag of candy.

I can't help him, and besides, it's quite difficult for him to pass things in a wheelchair.I bent down to take it, and when the bag was opened, there were white sugar balls inside, inserted with bamboo sticks, one bite at a time, and the syrup would not stick to my hands.

I shared one with Sasuke and tried one myself.Surprisingly, this sugar is not so sweet and greasy, it melts in the mouth and has a faint milky fragrance.Generally speaking, it was not bad, and Sasuke ate a few in a row.

"I knew you guys liked it." Seeing that we liked it, Asai squinted and smiled, "Dad said he made it for you specially, called snow candy. He also said that he swore that he would research the candy that you like. I didn't expect that the people he always talked about before were you, Xiyin."

"Hmm." I didn't think so either.

"You go to the temple fair, can you take me with you?" He manipulated the unfamiliar wheelchair, trying to go around the stall in front of him and run to the front, but the gap between the stalls was too small, and he tried several times without success. He even twisted the wheelchair until it got stuck on the wooden legs of the cart and couldn't move it out.

I really couldn't see his embarrassment spinning around in place, so I walked over and pushed him out of the narrow booth.

"Thank you Xiyin, let's go!" He said happily, and took another bag of snow sugar, and distributed it to Sasuke who was unhappy because the world of the two was destroyed.After receiving the candy, Sasuke's complexion improved a bit, but he hadn't completely forgiven him yet, but he finally stopped puffing his cheeks.

"Your stall..."

"It's okay to leave, most of them are sold out, these candies are reserved for you."

"You knew we were coming?" I asked.

With a retracted finger resting on the armrest, he said in a secretive way: "It's easy to guess, right? You said something happened, but we just finished the exam and we don't have any tasks. I can only think that you will come to the temple fair."

"I thought you'd be with other people, but Sasuke would be fine."

Nonsense, besides Sasuke, who can make me change from a squatting at home to a shopping girl?The bustling here makes me dizzy, and I can't wait to go home quickly.

It may be a good thing for Asai to join, at least it turned the silent walk into a real shopping. His people are enthusiastic and love to play. I bought a crepe for Sasuke and me, and finally stopped in front of the shooting booth, refusing to leave.

He pointed to an oversized doll bear among the prizes and said, "Xiyin Xiyin, I want that!"

I lowered my head and stared at his hands that were unconsciously pulling my sleeves. Sasuke said contemptuously, "Are you a little girl? Why do you like that kind of thing?"

Asai quickly withdrew his hand and coughed twice, "I want to give a gift to my future brother."

"Your brother doesn't need it either?"

"Come and try?" Seeing us stop, the boss handed us the gun with a wink, "It's free for the first time."

"Come on, come on." Asai pulled Sasuke aside and offered to make room for me.

I flicked the gun in my hand. I have lived in this world for several years, and this is the first time I have encountered a modern thing like a gun. I still have the illusion of chaotic time and space.

I raised my arm, but it wasn't the big bear I was aiming at.

"Da", the shot missed, the power of this gun was too low, and the bullets began to fall before they hit the spot. The bullets fell on the stone bricks below, and Gululu fell together with the wasted bullets of other tourists.

The boss immediately said: "The next step is not free."

"Ah."

Estimate the distance and angle in mind, and the next two shots will be much easier.

"crack, clap"

After being shot twice in a row, the boss gave us a big teddy bear and a small box.

Asai hugged the bear, his whole body was buried behind the bear, and his face could not be seen.I took the box and opened it, and inside was a set of blue and white sleeves.

"It fits well." I bent down to help Sasuke put it on, rolled up his sleeves and kept trying the tightness of the leather buckle.

He curled his lips, reluctantly stretched out his arms to let me play with them, but never said that he wanted to take off the sleeves, and only finally covered his arms and said, "Well, it's okay."

The three of us continued to walk down the street. Asai's bear was too big, causing many people to look back at us, but he himself didn't feel ashamed.

"Xiyin?"

We bumped into acquaintances.

Mito and Naruto were at the edge of the goldfish fishing pool, and Naruto was struggling to fight the goldfish in the water, while Mito folded his arms and leaned on the wooden frame of the nearby stall watching him play, with a smile on his lips.

Seeing us, he stood up unexpectedly.

"Sasuke?" Naruto also turned around.

Asai shook the teddy bear's paw, "Hi, Futa!"

"Me?" Mito came over and hugged the teddy bear.

Asai who showed his face smiled and said: "Look, Xi Yin gave it to me. Sasuke also has a share."

Hearing this, Naruto quickly gathered around Sasuke to look at the presents.

"It turns out that when you said you were waiting for someone, you were waiting for Xiyin."

Mito said, "But I saw your father just now, and he must be looking for you."

It was indeed very late, I looked at the sky, the last show of the summer festival - the fireworks show had just begun, and the gorgeous fireworks lit up half of the starry sky, passers-by stopped and looked up one after another, showing expectant expressions.

"Wow~"

Naruto couldn't help being amazed, just as the second round of fireworks lifted into the sky, dyeing his entire face with bright flames, his blue eyes shone brightly.

I tapped the head of Asai who was also fascinated, "I'll take you back."

"Let me come." Mito took the wheelchair from me, "We're going back too, just drop by."

Asai carried the bear back and shook it at me, "See you later, Xiyin."

"See you."

"See you again, Sasuke!"

"……Um."

……

After being promoted to Chunin, Nanami-sensei took us on various dangerous missions non-stop. Sometimes Mito would be replaced by other experienced ninjas, and sometimes it was just the three of us. The missions were all the same, not protecting important people, It is to escort information between the enemy and our camps, sometimes to assist Naruto-sama in his work, and sometimes to cooperate with Anbu ninja.

Asai spends most of his time inexplicable, for example, he doesn't understand why a ninja with many achievements in battle will be punished for occasionally failing a mission; he also doesn't understand why those ninjas would joke about the dead I also don't understand why Mr. Qihai seems to be in a bewilderment, and often takes me into dangerous situations without taking him.This made him very angry, feeling that he was disgusted, and wanted to protest but was dismissed by the words "mission needs".

I bit one end of the bandage, and expertly bandaged myself.Asai sat on the side and looked at me, complaining dissatisfiedly, "Leaving without saying goodbye like this again, what the hell did you do?"

"I am not sure."

The task is highly conservative, like the assembly line of a factory. Every ninja with special skills completes the part he is familiar with, even if he succeeds. As for the product produced, it has nothing to do with the workers.

"Where is Teacher Qihai?"

"Going to find a connector."

"Humph!"

He leaned against the wall, looking at the rough hemp rope hanging from the roof, "After this mission is over, I can finally relax for a while. Xiyin, do you have any other plans when you go back?"

"Ah."

"What?" he asked me, turning his head.

"Help Sato with training."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while he asked energetically, "Then do you have your own activities?"

"...Help Sasuke train?"

Asai couldn't help it, and said bluntly: "I mean, besides Sasuke, do you have other things?"

own business?I recalled what I had done in the past, and said earnestly: "Do housework, train, sleep." After thinking about it, I added, "Reading."

"Does Xiyin want to become Hokage?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"Then why do you have to work so hard?" He shook his hands, maybe he was embarrassed to be alone, so he took out Kunai from the ninja bag and wiped it carefully, "The other girls I met like to dress up , Talk about the boy you like. Only those who want to become Hokage-sama study hard, right?"

I got the bandages on... "I'm not like them."

He said he didn't understand, and insisted on me answering. I really couldn't stand him, so I thought of a perfunctory reason, "I want to become stronger."

"Why do you want to become stronger?" He simply had a hundred thousand reasons.

how could I know?Even becoming stronger is just something to do when you are idle and bored, why do you want to become stronger?Probably... "Probably because I don't want to die for some reason."

"..."

He fell silent.Nanami-sensei walked in from the door and told us to prepare to retreat.

On the way, Asai persistently asked: "Why did the teacher become stronger?" He must find out the answer.

Hearing that Mr. Qihai stopped, the shadows of the trees were scattered, leaving mottled light and shadow on his face.

"When we were young, others told us that if we don't become strong, we will die. In order to survive, I will try my best to become number one."

He said with relief: "I used to hate my own strength. I used to think about giving up like this. There is no point in living... and so on. However, I later discovered that it is the same strength that made me have what I am now. My friends, with you, this is also its benefit. Therefore, wanting to become stronger is not for myself to survive, but to live with everyone.”
