Uchiha Chen woke up from the hard ground early in the morning.
Looking out from the entrance of the cave, you can vaguely see the sky outside. The sky before dawn showed faint red ripples, accompanied by bursts of coolness, and everything was so quiet.
One side of Uchiha Chen is Mikoto, and the other side is Nawaki. Only their slow breathing was heard. He looked at the ashes of the cave fire, but couldn't fall asleep.
His attention was drawn to the cobwebs covering the ceiling of the cave. He thought about the scene when he saw Yura and the others for the first time a few days ago. It seemed like it was a lifetime ago.
What happens now?
He lay on the floor, thinking about Iwa-nin, thinking about the war, thinking about Land of Rain, and thinking about those friends who died on the battlefield.
Suddenly, Sharingan opened unconsciously, and he suddenly became a little irritable.
A cold darkness enveloped the entire cave. Without any warning, Uchiha Chen resented Iwa-nin in his heart, resented those enemies, and even began to resent Third Hokage who started the war!
Two-Tomoe Sharingan spun faster and faster, and Uchiha Chen's breathing became heavier and heavier. The resentment in the darkness gradually swelled.
After a while, Uchiha Chen suddenly sat up and covered his eyes. The negative emotions just now disappeared like a tide.
Uchiha Chen gasped for air. The sudden negative emotion just now affected Uchiha Chen almost instantly.
It is indeed the pupil of the soul. Second Hokage said that after the Uchiha Clan people lose love, special chakra will be produced in their brains, causing their eyes to change. The stronger the hatred in my heart, the stronger Sharingan is.
Uchiha Chen stood up. He urgently needed to find something to distract himself. So he walked carefully to the entrance of the cave.
Land of Rain rarely sees the sun. But dawn is an exception.
At this time, the rain continued to fall. The thick dark clouds in the sky and the light shining through the dark clouds on the horizon render the distant peaks a bizarre golden color.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Uchiha Chen suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Nawaki patted his shoulder and sat down next to him.
"Sorry, I just woke you up." Uchiha Chen said.
"It's okay. What happened just now? Did the injury relapse?" Nawaki seemed to have become a lot calmer.
Uchiha Chen shook his head, then turned to look at Nawaki.
In those blood-red eyes, the right eye is still Two Tomoe, but the left eye has suddenly become Three Tomoe!
Nawaki: "..."
"Chen, I feel that your luck has become much better since you were with me."
"You see, the first time we met, you stole my first place in the entrance exam. Every time after that, you would steal my first place in the exam."
"When the fifth graders went on a mission with me, they also turned on Two-Tomoe Sharingan. This time when they went on a mission with me, their left eye turned into Three Tomoe." Nawaki counted on his fingers.
"Brother, are you serious?" Uchiha Chen was speechless for a while.
"Ever since I met you, my peaceful life has been ruined."
Uchiha Chen sorted out his own experience, and it was terrifying to think about it.
In the second grade, I was threatened by Nawaki's sister Tsunade and was almost killed by her. The fifth grader went out to perform a C-level mission and met Jonin inexplicably.
Then he was involved in the Gold Mine incident and was almost poisoned by Suna Ninja's Jonin. It also caused the outbreak of Second Ninja War!
Now that I have graduated, I come out to perform a security task carefully selected by teacher Orochimaru. But in this so-called safe mission, he was almost killed by Iwa-nin. And among the few teammates, only three of them survived.
It seems that Nawaki, like Tsunade, has a curse from the plane. Tsunade has a buff that guarantees losing in every bet.
And Nawaki is the legendary Heavenly Solitary Star. As long as you come out to perform a task, no matter what level you are, the difficulty of the task will be doubled, and you will never give up until there is blood.
You see, Team Minato never encounters any accidents.
Uchiha Chen patted Nawaki on the shoulder, "Obviously my luck has gotten a lot worse."
Nawaki was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "It has indeed gotten a lot worse."
"Chen, do you think Sister Yura, whose luck has deteriorated, will be caught by Iwa-nin?" Nawaki asked.
"Of course not. She is different from us. She knows the consequences of being caught." Uchiha Chen shook his head.
"She is such a smart woman, she will definitely commit suicide before she is caught." Uchiha Chen laughed.
"Indeed, she will definitely not be caught." Nawaki also smiled.
The two of them were laughing like this, but the laughter was so desolate and sad.
Time passed slowly, and the wild grass at the entrance of the cave also began to wither. In the past few days, there have been many ninjas wearing Iwa-nin Forehead Protector, patrolling this area.
The investigators' close observation did not allow them to discover anything.
Occasionally, one of the ninjas among them found some traces and started to get excited. Earth Flow went forward, but then found out that it was a trap.
After losing several ninjas in this way, because the area was too large and they only had a few people, they had no choice but to give up.
Today it was Nawaki's turn to go out for reconnaissance. After he made sure that no one was following him, he walked into the cave carefully.
By now the cave was almost unrecognizable. The cave was filled with all kinds of stolen food, as well as pots and pans. There is a wooden table in the middle of the cave.
Mikoto is preparing dinner, while Uchiha Chen is lying on the table looking at the map.
"How's the situation, Nawaki?" Uchiha Chen raised his head.
"There is a big crater where we separated from Sister Yura. There are almost no other traces of the battle."
Uchiha Chen nodded, this was not beyond his expectation. After all, the battle happened two weeks ago.
Uchiha Chen motioned to Nawaki to sit down and eat. At this moment, he frowned.
Nawaki, who cooperated tacitly, immediately entered a defensive state. Uchiha Chen waved his hand, "Not an enemy."
After a while, the sound of footsteps gradually came in. A girl in shabby clothes walked in.
She stood a little further away from Uchiha Chen and the others, then stopped.
Kakkō in the cave shrouded her body from the shoulders down, while the part above the shoulders was hidden in shadow.
The girl's cheeks looked a little stiff due to nervousness. Her lips were also tightly closed, and her big eyes only stared at the point in front of her.
After a while, she whispered, "Well, Ninja-sama, can you share some food with us?"
