The night at Land of Waves was very quiet. This was a place with no nightlife at all, but Hinata couldn't sleep. She stood on the small balcony of the villa, holding on to the railing.
The villa area was dark, with only a few houses still having their lights on, and not long after, they were all turned off one after another.
The clear moon hung above her head, surrounded by strings of stars. Hinata breathed out gently. She felt a little homesick.
Not thinking about the scenery at Konoha, but thinking about her sister and her father. Obviously she didn't think about it that way when she was at Konoha. Even after going to school, the thing she was most afraid of was going home.
She raised her head and bathed in the moonlight. She was still thinking about Sister Yue and others...
"Little Hinata still not sleeping?"
She was thinking about it, and suddenly she heard a joking voice. Even though she was in Land of Waves, which was as warm as spring, she couldn't help but shudder, because it was the voice of a devil.
"Quan, Sister Quan..." She turned her head stiffly and looked at the balcony of the villa next to her, where there was a black-haired girl looking over with a smile.
The longer they stayed together, the more Hinata became afraid of this sister who was always smiling. Unlike her master's warm smile, she only felt that if Sister Quan smiled, the surrounding temperature would drop.
Although she calls herself a soul tribe, Hinata knows that Sister Quan is actually a member of the Uchiha Clan. She occasionally sees the children taught by Sister Quan wearing clothes with the Uchiha Clan logo.
Moreover, the "Old Man" in Sister Quan's mouth is an elder with Sharingan and Uchiha Clan. His black hair is mixed with some white hair, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes are piled up in wrinkles, he walks with a limp, and he is missing a little finger on his right hand.
But he has a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and he is usually responsible for teaching children to learn Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind, and the children like to hang around him.
Sister Quan is the one that the children are most afraid of. Because "Old Man" has limited legs and feet, she is responsible for teaching Taijutsu. She always has a smile on her face, but the children are afraid of her. As long as it is not practice time, they will stay away.
"Hinata is not good at sleeping at night. Do you want your sister to punish you?" Uchiha Izumi jumped up and landed next to Hinata.
She was wearing dark purple pajamas, the same purple flip-flops, and no socks. She was completely dressed for bedtime.
"No, don't!" Hinata shook her head violently. She didn't want to be punished by Sister Quan. Those children said that Sister Quan's punishment was the most terrifying thing in the world.
"Ha, I'm just trying to scare you. Now is not the time to practice." Uchiha Izumi's fingers painted with purple nail polish flicked on Hinata's forehead, and then he also grabbed the railing and looked up at the sky.
"Looking at the stars?" she asked softly.
"Well, yes, yes." Hinata touched the place where her forehead was hit by the bullet. Sister Quan's hand was so cold.
"It's beautiful, Byakugan's eyes are like stars."
Uchiha Izumi's eyes had quietly turned into Sharingan at some point. She said, "Your eyesight is better than Uchiha. You should be able to see more stars."
Hinata has never turned on Byakugan and looked up at the night sky, but according to my father, be sure not to look directly at the sun when turning on Byakugan.
The stars should be fine.
She poured chakra into her Byakugan, and the tight meridians appeared in an instant, and she raised her head.
Oh my God.
The stars that were just a bunch of stars now turned into a river and a sea, twinkling as if to say hello to her new friend.
"This is a wonderful experience." Uchiha Izumi lowered his voice. "As long as you open your eyes, there will be more stars in the sky."
Hinata nodded heavily. This wonderful feeling made her a little intoxicated. It was much more shocking than when she opened her eyes for the first time. It was as if she had entered a new world, and everything in the world was saying hello to her.
"It is said that every star is a life, and for every meteor passing by, a life will fall." Uchiha Izumi's voice became softer, which made Hinata move closer to her involuntarily.
With her nose trembling slightly, she could already smell Sister Quan's scent, with a hint of lavender.
She raised her head again. A meteor was passing under the moon and flying towards the distance. It was much brighter than the stars. She should be able to see it even without turning on Byakugan.
Someone died? She subconsciously thought according to Sister Quan's statement.
"Some people also say that shooting stars bring good luck to people. Just close your eyes, make a wish, and then open your eyes. If the shooting star is still in your sight, your wish will come true."
Hinata closed her eyes subconsciously, but when she opened them again, the meteor had already disappeared, and she was surprised to find another meteor hanging on the horizon.
"Pfft... you are really making a wish!" Uchiha Izumi looked at the movements of Hinata next to him and couldn't help laughing.
"I have been making wishes since I was a child, but none of them have come true..." She chuckled, not knowing whether she was laughing at Hinata, or at herself.
"Sometimes I wonder, why do you let me see such a beautiful scenery, why do you let me see shooting stars?"
"My mother once told me that with great power comes great responsibility. With Sharingan, you can see more stars. You must protect them and don't let them turn into meteors."
"But the more I looked up, the more I realized there were too many meteors, and there was nothing you could do to stop them from falling."
"When Brother Jie told me that something was going to happen to our family, I felt like not only the stars, but also the sky was going to fall..."
"Heh, I shouldn't tell you this." Uchiha Izumi suddenly shook his head and said:
"I rarely go out to look at the stars now, because every time I look at the stars, it reminds me of bad things, which makes me feel depressed."
"Sister Quan..." Hinata still raised her head. She was still looking at the stars in the sky, as if she hadn't heard a word of what Uchiha Izumi just said.
But she raised her arms, pulled Uchiha Izumi's pajamas with her little hands, and pointed at a meteor that was about to disappear into the sky, with excitement in her voice.
"I just made a wish! I wish that everyone can live a healthy and happy life! Whether it is my father or my sister, Sister Yue, and my master!"
As she spoke, she suddenly turned around.
"There's also Sister Quan! Everyone will be happy!"
Uchiha Izumi touched Hinata's head and chuckled. She looked up to the horizon and only caught the tail of the meteor. She lowered her head again and lightly touched Hinata's forehead with two fingers.
"Go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow," she said.
