After three years, although the oldest Ichiga will always serve as the nominal captain of the three-person team, it is actually Harry who is the backbone of the team.

He often behaved unreliably, but he never dropped the chain at critical moments.After he forcibly rescued the team from the fate of group annihilation several times by himself, and let the three of them pass through the most difficult novice period safely, Yihe was no longer willing to be the captain and insisted on reporting to his superiors. Submit an application to transfer the power of leading the team to him.

Harry tried every means, not only saying that saving people was a coincidence, so he was not worthy of being the captain, but also saying that he was not good at writing and was too lazy to write a summary after the mission. At least he persuaded Yihe to give up this inappropriate idea.

After that, Yihe was still the captain, but he basically stopped giving orders as the captain. He and Orange Shui would wait for Harry's instructions on how to proceed with the mission.

Harry didn't want to take over the role of captain because he was worried that it would show too much publicity and attract unnecessary attention.Inside the team, when facing Orange Water and Yihe, he didn't have so many worries, and he was happy to find ways to make up his mind to complete the task efficiently, and use the extra time to travel at public expense.

This time the messenger mission was no exception—the three said that they had to stay at the border for a short time in order to confuse the spies who secretly followed up with the intelligence agents. In fact, they took the opportunity to stay in a hot spring hotel and eat delicious food. Bathing in the hot springs relieved the fatigue caused by the exhaustion of boats and cars.

They live comfortably, but they suffer from the people watching outside. Not only do they have to eat and sleep in the open, but they also have to be on guard all the time, worrying that they will run away if they don't pay attention.

When they left the hot spring hotel, the tracker really couldn't hold back and exposed his tracks in a moment of impatience.

This is completely within the plan of the few people. Although they have never discussed this plan, the three years of tacit understanding made everything silent. Yihe and Chengshui immediately started to kill the enemy, and Harry was responsible for notifying the nearest The Konoha stronghold, let the stronghold send additional manpower to cut off possible backup.

The enemy is stronger than ever, but fortunately, Orange Shui and Yihe are stronger.By the time Harry rushed back, the battle was over. The two men still had blood stains on their faces that hadn't been wiped clean, but they disposed of the corpse first, and Harry didn't even see the remains left by the corpse water.

The two of them have always been like this, not only regard Harry as a captain worthy of respect, but also regard him as an object to be protected, never let him participate in the battle unless it is absolutely necessary, and even hide the body pieces and large bloodstains tightly, As if afraid of leaving a psychological shadow on him.

As for the cause, probably when Harry killed someone for the first time and used corpse water to treat the corpse, he retched a bit because of the disgusting scene and smell-a conditioned reaction, after all, the smell of protein being corroded is really not too bad. nice smell.

But the other two seemed to believe that he rejected this job from the bottom of their hearts, and decisively classified him as a non-combatant. changed.

Harry thought, it's a good thing they don't know that when he was four or five years old, he did a lot of things as bad as killing and burning corpses, otherwise why would he think he was mentally weak?

But... He smiled again soon, it felt good to be protected hard.

All in all, the three of them performed their duties, and jointly defeated the tracker and protected the intelligence on them.

When he was recuperating on the spot and preparing to return to Konoha, Ichiga deliberately pushed away the orange water and asked Harry, "Do you know the real name of the orange water?"

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Harry didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully, "Her real name is Hope. But she doesn't like the name very much, so it's better to just call her Orange Water."

He thought that maybe Yihe felt that after being a teammate for three years, he still only knew the code name 'Orange Water', and felt that it was too familiar to call him, so he made a special trip to ask him about Orange Water's real name...

"It's not the name." Yihe said, his tone was a bit urgent, "It's the surname."

Harry answered quickly: "Nohara, you should know? Last time you returned to the village, you also went to the Civil Affairs Office with us to submit the application."

To be precise, it was Cheng Shui's intention to change his surname to Nohara, inheriting the surname of his uncle who had no biological heirs, but for some reason, there were many obstacles in the matter, and it took three years to get the formalities approved.

"It's not a surname that I changed on my own, I mean her blood relationship - which family is she from?"

"Well, I don't know about that. I only know that her biological mother came from Qianshou. As for her biological father..." Harry paused, frowning uncomfortably, "You should just pretend that she doesn't have a father."

Yihe also frowned, looking a bit tangled, half talking to himself: "Mother is Qianshou? How is it possible? I've never heard of any precedent of intermarriage between their two races..."

Harry got curious.

"Which two clans? Why did you suddenly think of asking about Cheng Shui's life experience?" He asked congratulations.

"I think she might have—" Just as he was about to talk about the key part, Yihe thought about it, and his conclusion was mainly a subjective conjecture based on Orange Water's abnormal behavior, without any clear evidence to support it.He has been educated since he was a child that he can't talk about others behind his back just based on his feelings, so he hesitated for a few seconds, swallowed back the words he hadn't said, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's nothing."

It’s the easiest thing to tantalize people without saying a word. Not only did Harry not give up, but he became more interested: Yihe has always been reticent, only when the task is necessary, he is not so stingy with words. This is the first time he has met the other party. Pay attention to the minutiae of everyday life.Why on earth did Yihe suddenly change his sex?

He was about to ask, when the orange water came back.

Even a fool knows not to gossip in front of the person involved, so Harry had no choice but to put this question aside for the time being, put on a mask, and set off back home.

The three of them rushed for most of the day, and returned to the vicinity of Konoha from the border at nightfall.

There were also other Anbu who had just returned from outside the village after completing their mission, and there was a rustling sound, and the shadows of the trees shook.The leaders of the two parties looked at each other in the shadows, and habitually pretended not to see each other. They adjusted their directions and parted ways.

Harry and the others chose a remote village road, and after a short walk, damp water vapor gradually wafted in the wind.

Suddenly, an old scold broke the silence: "Oh! You little pervert!"

Followed by the sound of "crashing" water, the screams of girls of all ages and the exclamation of teenagers, mixed with the "bang" sound of debris falling to the ground, there was a commotion.

It must have been some daring kid who was peeping at the women's bathhouse, and was caught by the old lady who managed the money bath.

Harry listened to the commotion while rushing along the road, and could hardly hold back his laughter until he vaguely heard a person's name: "Orochimaru!"

He stopped.

After all these years, Harry has known many people, but not many people he is familiar with.However, he maintained good relations with all his acquaintances: he remembered everyone's birthday (if they told him, of course), and he sent them presents for their birthdays or major festivals; and Holiday Wishes are occasionally late because he happens to be out on a mission, but never absent.

Among his acquaintances, every time they received a gift, they would earnestly and meticulously give him a gift of considerable value in return. One was Ichiga, and the other was Orochimaru.

After coming and going, the friendship between Orochimaru and him has not weakened because of the infrequent meetings, and it has been maintained for many years.

Suddenly hearing someone calling his friend's name, of course Harry wanted to see what happened.

As soon as he stopped, the other two people who were traveling with him also stopped.

At any rate, the same team has been on a mission for three years, and Cheng Shui knows that his brother's thinking has always been out of bounds, and at any time he may improvise due to some new discovery, and then join in to get involved.Anyway, she had already arrived in Konoha territory, so she didn't bother to care about it any more. She stretched out her hand to Harry, and the meaning was very clear: I'll hand in the task, you can go and play.

Harry blinked apologetically, and handed her the information scroll, while he quietly followed the source of the previous sound.

Two heads, one black and one white, were huddling together in the shadows that the streetlights couldn't reach, discussing something in a low voice.

"...Then I'll come on stage handsomely and drive you away, so Tsunade will think 'Jiraiya is awesome too'!" The white-haired boy—Harry remembered that his name was Jiraiya? ——The hair and clothes were wet a lot, but the interest did not diminish at all.

"What's the point of doing this?" The black-haired one, Orochimaru, the little friend Harry hadn't seen for a while, who came here specially to chat with him, obviously couldn't keep up with his companion's brain circuit, "If you There's nothing to do, why don't you practice?"

Jilai also ignored the second half of the soul question, and only answered the first question: "It means something to me! It means a lot—it is!"

He approached his companion and begged softly: "Hey! I finally called you out, just help me this time! Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru let out a disgusted "tsk", avoiding his big face, but took the mask he was holding as he said, and put it on his face: "Just this time, don't make another example."

Harry was a little curious about the 'action' the two of them were secretly planning, so he temporarily put aside his plan to show up to greet Orochimaru, and changed to a tree branch with a wide view but still hidden.

He watched Jiraiya also hide, watched Tsunade slowly walking along the village road from a distance, watched Orochimaru wearing a mask pretending to be a gangster blocking the way, watching Tsunade raged on the spot, facing the "gangster" With a blow of the hammer, Zilai, who also saw Shanshan arriving, also froze in place.

To be honest, the once strange little loli has become more and more beautiful in recent years, with a good face, a thin waist and long legs, and a heroic posture-but it seems to be more violent than when she was a child.

Although Orochimaru escaped the beating in time with the stand-in technique, he was not in a good mood after experiencing such a farce.

He dusted off the dirt on his body, walked back indifferently, and said when he passed Jiraiya, "I'm going back. Next time, don't ask me for such a stupid thing, Ziraiya."

Tsunade recognized Orochimaru's identity through his voice, he was stunned for a while, and combined with his attitude and what just happened, he suddenly realized.

She clenched her fists, turned to Jiraiya, and shouted one syllable: "Zi! Come! Also! Explain to my old lady!!"

It is impossible for Harry, who watched the whole process secretly, to understand something that everyone in the authorities understood.

He recalled the scene he had seen, and couldn't help laughing.

Artificially creating a hero to save the beauty, an old-fashioned and childish routine, probably a trick only played by underage boys, I didn't expect...

He was slightly startled.

The age and memory of his previous life, plus the fact that the ninjas were too precocious, so that after getting used to the life of mediating back and forth between Sand Yin and Konoha, always accompanied by conspiracy, he almost forgot, Jiraiya, Orochimaru , Yihe, Orange Water, and even himself, they were all just teenagers around the age of sixteen or seventeen—in his previous life, they would have been in the sixth year of Hogwarts.

Jiraiya, like all boys of his age, does everything he can to attract the attention of the girl he likes.

And Orochimaru, like boys of this age, is willing to cooperate with a clumsy bad idea for the sake of friendship and loyalty.

Thinking of this, Harry unconsciously showed a loving and gratifying smile like an old father.

16 years old, beautiful puberty, restless hormones, young teenagers and girls... Maybe this can already explain Yihe's unusual attention to orange water?

In his view, admiration is not a forbidden word that cannot be appealed to. On the contrary, it is a natural and beautiful emotion, as common as eating and drinking.

So he turned his head and asked the person who took the initiative to stay with him for confirmation: "Yihe, you like orange water, don't you?"

"!" Yihe was obviously taken aback, staring at him with wide eyes, as if what came out of his mouth was not an ordinary question, but a bunch of sticky slugs.

After a long while, probably finally understanding what he meant, a blush crept up to the base of Yihe's ears, and then spread, dyeing his neck red as well.

"Hi, hi..." Yihe stammered for a long time, but finally failed to say the embarrassing word, "Orange water? Why do you ask?"

"There's no need to be shy, maybe I can help you?" Harry winked at him, and found that his attitude was not so much the shyness of being pointed out, but closer to shock and disbelief, and he couldn't help doubting his guess , "Uh, isn't it?... Then why do you suddenly start caring about her?"

"Of course not!" Yihe Rarely retorted sharply, excited as if he had suffered a great injustice for no reason, "I didn't—!"

It was rare for him to show such violent mood swings. Harry was taken aback, and quickly apologized to him: "I see, sorry, I misunderstood."

Yihe didn't intend to expose it: "I care about her because—"

He choked.Because of—for what?

His eyes fell into the eyes of another person, those gray eyes were calm and soft, reflecting the orange lights of Wanjia in Muye Village and his shadow.

To be watched so seriously, as if he was the only, important, special and irreplaceable existence.

It was this person who made him feel that he was not just the former young patriarch who was abandoned, not only the elder brother of Hizuki and Nisai, nor just a tool for the family to fight for power... no matter how good or bad he was Identity, he is him.

The other party is always optimistic, positive, and uplifting. Even if they are always burdened with heavy responsibilities that do not know where they come from, as if they are in the deepest part of the darkness, they can still emit a warm light, like the lingering sunshine, and continue to give people around People bring hope, so beautiful and holy that people are willing to give everything to support it.

That's why Yihe will take the initiative to take over all parts of the mission that involve fighting and killing. It's not that he feels that the opponent's strength is not enough, but that once the sun is stained with blood, even if it is only dimmed for a moment, it will make him feel sad——Orange Water Presumably the same is true.

As the saying goes, if you love a house, you love a bird. If you care about a person, you will inevitably pay attention to what the other person cares about.Like Sakumo and Hitomi, Orochimaru, and Orange Water.

He knew that the two teammates were brothers and sisters for some reason, and that Orange Water often fought side by side with him as his partner, so he took Orange Water under his protection as a matter of course, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

And as the key to establishing this connection, this person actually suspected that he was... for Orange Water?

He didn't quite know what thoughts and hopes he was holding, but he knew that he was not happy to see this kind of misunderstanding happen.

Not at all.

Harry didn't know the twists and turns in Yihe's heart, so he thoughtfully filled out the second half of the sentence for Yihe: "Is it because you are friends?"

Yihe thought about it and felt that he had found the correct answer, so he nodded firmly: "Because we——the three of us are friends."
