What does Chapter 126 taste like?
What does Chapter 126 taste like?
Yan Yi had no idea that the decision he had asked Madara to make would change someone's fate. After all, he wanted to avoid the emergence of someone like Danzo in Konoha.
In my memory, that old guy with the bandage on his head was no good person. He had done at least eighty, if not a hundred, bad things.
To prevent Konoha from experiencing that dark period of rule in the future, the only solution Yan Yi could think of was to keep the Shimura clan at the very end of the village as much as possible.
At least, it would prevent their clan from becoming as aloof as before, and perhaps in this way, the Darkness of Konoha could be avoided.
However, he cannot predict the future, and he has been assigned a new task.
Yan Yi glanced at the rudimentary map in his hand, his brow furrowing deeply...
"This... is too abstract, isn't it?"
Yan Yi was speechless. When he unfolded the parchment scroll, it looked like an ancient treasure map. Apart from being able to make out the Nanga River and the Konoha Village beneath his feet, he couldn't understand anything else.
"Uh... Yan Yi, can you tell where this is?" Itama's mouth was slightly open, and he was also a little dumbfounded.
"Not really..."
Since he couldn't understand it anyway, Yan Yi simply stopped studying it in detail. He now needed to organize his equipment and prepare to head to the mission location... At least, he had a general idea of where he was going.
In other words, his mission this time is to use this map to find the reclusive Hatake clan...
The task is essentially easy: go on a trip, enjoy the scenery, and look for it on the side. If you really can't find it in the end, so be it...
Once upon a time, the Hatake clan was a prestigious family in this forest. However, that history is quite distant. Later, whether due to war or other reasons, the Hatake clan gradually declined and went into seclusion.
To this day, information about this ethnic group is almost nonexistent.
The Uchiha clan had formed a good relationship with them many years ago, and thus they received this location of their clan's territory, which was temporarily drawn on the battlefield.
"Itama, let's go home first!"
Yan smiled at Itama, then grabbed Itama's wrist, pulled him along, and headed towards their home...
"Let's go home..." This sentence sounds very ordinary and commonplace, but for these two boys, it was more touching than any other words.
Yan Yi has his own room, and his second brother, Quan Nai, has stopped bothering the board room. These days, they spend every day together, eating, living, and sleeping together.
Perhaps because of this dreamlike life, Itama's personality has become noticeably more cheerful lately.
However... he still finds it difficult to change the personality traits he was forced to adopt. He has never said "no" to anything Yan Yi said...
Even though he sometimes feels shy and embarrassed, he can be completely honest with the black-haired boy in front of him.
Of course, the first time people lived together in a shared room, they would blush easily, and this still happens today.
Back home, Yan Yi tidied up her luggage a bit, then took out a bundle of exquisitely crafted scrolls and unfurled them on the ground...
The scroll rolled forward, and the unfolded part was covered with a bunch of complicated and incomprehensible runes.
"Tobirama-nii is such a genius..." Yan Yi stared at the scroll in front of him for a long time, then picked up the clothes he had tidied up and placed them on the scroll to form a seal.
bang——
A puff of white smoke flashed by, and the blank space on the scroll immediately revealed the character "封" (seal). The items he had just packed were now sealed inside the scroll.
Yes, this is a super practical sealing technique that Tobirama created a while ago. It's absolutely perfect for storing items.
"Yan Yi, have you put it away?" Ban Jian's voice came from beside him.
"Mmm!" Yan Yi looked up, took the clothes from Itama's hands, and prepared to do the same. But...
On a whim, Yan Yi suddenly had a strange idea, but before he could think about it any further, he buried his face in the clothes in the stall and took a deep breath.
"what..."
Itama was stunned. Seeing Yan Yi's sudden action, he, who was already easily embarrassed, turned bright red.
"Uh..."
Yan Yi only realized what was happening at this moment, and immediately felt extremely embarrassed... She had just seen the neatly folded clothes emitting a refreshing and pleasant scent, and couldn't help but... take a sniff.
"Haha... Banban, your clothes smell so good, I couldn't resist taking a sniff... uh..." Yan Yi realized her lame excuse was a bit... after all, they were clearly using the same bar of laundry soap.
The reason was a bit silly, so Yan Yi quickly put the clothes on the scroll, blushing and frantically began to form hand seals.
Itama was speechless for a moment; Yan Yi's actions just now had indeed made his heart skip a beat...
His clothes were always kept very clean, especially after his time in prison, when he could only rely on Yan Yi to constantly change his clothes. Itama felt even more strongly that he should be cleaner.
In that instant, he also thought of something similar to what Yan Yi had just done.
In prison, after Yan Yi swapped his clothes with his own, he would secretly pinch the collar and smell it... He still remembers that unique scent that belonged only to Yan Yi.
"All packed! We're ready to go!"
After packing everything up, Yan quickly pretended to be nonchalant, stood up, took Banjian's hand, and walked towards the door.
"Oh, right, Yan Yi, here, take this!"
Suddenly, Itama remembered something and pulled out two strips of cloth from his pocket. A smooth metal plate was sewn onto each strip...
"Huh? Is that a headband?" Yan Yi was taken aback, and he immediately recognized the item in Itama's hand.
Upon hearing this, Itama said with some surprise, "So you already knew, Yan Yi? I thought you didn't. This was given to me by my older brother yesterday. He said that from now on, all Konoha ninjas will have to wear Konoha headbands."
"Oh...mmm!"
Yan Yi didn't actually know, but he had this thing in his memory.
Taking the headband from Itama, Yan Yi examined it closely. The Konoha symbol... it was exactly the same as he remembered. He just wondered who came up with it.
Yan Yi was a little nervous wearing a headband for the first time. After all, she had indulged in plenty of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) moments while watching anime in her past life... and she even had a Konoha headband as part of her merchandise in her dorm room.
But this time is different. This is a real ninja world... and he actually gets the chance to wear a headband! It's so... cool! He thought that since he was born in the Warring States period, he probably wouldn't have much of a chance now, but he didn't expect it to happen.
Without much effort, Yan Yi tied the headband to his forehead. In that instant, he felt incredibly charming and even felt his chakra had become stronger!
Seeing that Yan Yi had finished binding his headband, Itama prepared to do the same. It wouldn't take him much effort, since the Senju clan had a tradition of wearing a white cloth strip on their foreheads...
However, before Banma could make a move, Yan Yi grabbed his hand.
"Banban... let me help you..."
Yan Yi's voice became a little choked up... To see Itama alive and well, and even wearing the Konoha headband, filled him with a sudden urge to cry...
Finally, I can really protect him, and let Itama witness the peaceful times we have now.
After the headband was tied on, Yan Yi helped Itama tidy up his hair on his forehead, and then gave him a careful look one last time...
"It looks great! Itamoto suits you too, you have such a great presence!" Yan Yi adjusted her mindset and praised him directly without any reservation.
"Well, I'm glad you like it, Yan Yi." Itama touched the slightly cool metal plate on his forehead and replied with a blush.
