"Today's practice is over. It's already very late. Let's go back." Mu Yue said in a gentle voice.
By this time it was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was already dark.
"Well, goodbye, Teacher Muyue." Obito said goodbye to Muyue with excitement.
"Goodbye, Teacher Mu Yue." Shisui also said goodbye to Mu Yue.
"Shisui, I won't go back with you today. Xiaolin and I have something to do, so you go back alone." Obito and Shisui said.
Since we want to give Shisui a surprise, we definitely won't go back together.
"Well, I'll go back alone then." Shisui nodded, with no big change in his facial expression.
After finally saying goodbye to everyone, Shisui walked towards home alone.
The moon on October 19th was also very round. Under the moonlight, Zhishui's shadow became longer and longer, and it was parallel to the trees next to him, so he didn't seem lonely.
"Just like usual..." Shisui thought back on his day and found that it was no different from usual.
Think about it, is the day you were born really that special and worth celebrating?
For a ninja, isn't the day you practice a powerful ninjutsu more memorable?
After walking out of the Southern Forest, Shishui gradually walked into the main urban area, and more and more people gathered around him.
Although it is a war period now, the warring parties have not yet launched their full strength, and Konoha has not been affected too much. The main city area is still prosperous. Although it is night, there are still a large number of people on the streets, and various shops are brightly lit.
"Be obedient and don't cry. Mom will buy you a toy on your birthday."
The little child, who was crying for unknown reasons, quickly smiled again after being comforted by his mother.
"Dad, I want to eat that!"
"No, didn't we just finish our meal?"
"But I just want to eat."
"Then you can only eat one."
Some children see the tempting aroma of fried food on the street and can't help but ask their parents for it.
Some parents cannot resist the pleading of their children's innocent faces, while some parents can use various techniques to make their children give up on their own initiative.
"This is too expensive. We are poor and cannot afford it."
"If you eat this, you will be captured by the legendary Uchiha Madara tonight."
Shisui felt a little weird after hearing these words. It turned out that his ancestor was good enough to stop a child from crying at night.
Curious as to why so many kids wanted to eat it, Shisui bought a fried meat patty and tried it.
To be honest, after taking the first bite, Shisui felt that the tempura was just ordinary, completely different from the tempura made by Mu Yue.
With the mentality of not wasting food, Shisui ate it all.
As Shisui gradually approached the Uchiha clan territory, the environment became deserted again.
As they were almost home, Shisui felt a sense of relief that the day was finally over.
Although he knew that Mu Yue would never help him celebrate his birthday, because Mu Yue didn't know when his birthday was, and he had never told Mu Yue.
But he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart. The mysterious and powerful Teacher Mu Yue would know his birthday even without him telling her.
To be honest, Shisui hated himself for having such thoughts. He thought that if it were Obito, he would definitely go directly and happily tell Mu Yue that my birthday is coming soon.
Since you haven't told the other person, why should you still have expectations? Isn't this expecting something that is impossible to happen?
"Shisui, you must learn from your grandfather, Uchiha Kagami, and become a strong and brave ninja who inherits the will of fire."
Shisui remembered what his uncle had said to him. His thoughts just now were obviously not strong, although he was currently just a six-year-old child without a father or a mother.
"Don't think too much, just strengthen your strength first, and then practice breathing techniques for two hours." Shisui thought to himself.
In the world of ninja, strength is everything. No matter how many ideas you have, they are meaningless without the strength.
Shisui walked skillfully to his home which looked pitch black from the outside.
After all, there is no one at home, it would be strange if the lights were turned on.
Although it was pitch black, it was his home after all, and as soon as he walked in, before turning on the lights, Shisui keenly noticed that something was wrong, there were some extra things.
He quietly took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, changed his breathing rhythm, and observed his surroundings with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Suddenly, the lights came on, and the dazzling white light of the electric lamp brightened the originally dark room.
"Happy birthday, Shisui!"
Shisui, who was holding a kunai and ready to fight, was dumbfounded when he saw Mu Yue Obito and his group suddenly appear. The kunai fell to the ground with a "pop".
"Shisui, happy birthday." Mu Yue congratulated warmly.
"Sorry, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems that I was more surprised than happy." Mu Yue showed an apologetic expression.
"Hehe, so you, Shisui, can also make such an expression." Obito laughed as he looked at Shisui, whose eyes were wide open and look confused. It was a good thing that he didn't have a camera, otherwise he would have taken a picture as a souvenir.
"Shisui, happy birthday, your youth is constantly moving forward." Might Guy gave Shisui a thumbs up in celebration.
Shisui glanced around his home, and seeing the festive decorations everywhere, he felt indescribable joy in his heart.
As disappointed as he felt along the way, Shisui is just as happy now.
"Teacher Mu Yue, how did you know that today is my birthday?" Zhishui asked, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.
Although he was very excited inside, Shisui was really curious about how Mu Yue knew his birthday. It couldn't be that he asked his uncle.
"I don't know. It was Mu Yue-sensei who told us." Obito replied.
"This is the wisdom of the adults." Mu Yue said mysteriously.
He is Shisui's homeroom teacher, so this matter is too simple, he just needs to take a look at Shisui's information.
At this moment, Shishui had a lot of things he wanted to say to Muyue, but when it came to his lips, he didn't know where to start.
He really didn't expect that the fantasy he had hidden deep in his heart would actually come true. If he hadn't met a child who was celebrating his birthday on the way home, Shisui himself might not have noticed that he had such a fantasy.
Mu Yue really miraculously knew his birthday, and then brought Obito and the others to give him a huge surprise that night.
"I..." Shisui's mind was a little confused.
"Thank you, thank you Teacher Mu Yue, and everyone." In the end, all the words in Zhi Shui's heart turned into a word of thank you.
He was really grateful. Even if Mu Yue didn't spend so much time decorating the room to surprise him, and just said "Happy Birthday", he would be very satisfied and excited.
Because he had never told Mu Yue about his birthday and had not planned to trouble Mu Yue to help him celebrate his birthday, it can be said that everything was a pleasant surprise.
"Look at the cake. We picked it together. Although it's not as big as the one we bought for Teacher Mu Yue before, it's also good." Obito opened the lid on the cake.
"Shisui, this is my birthday present for you. Let's work out together and become powerful ninjas." Might Guy gave Shisui a green tights of the same style as his.
"Akai, thank you for the gift, I'm very happy." Shisui thanked.
He decided to keep the clothes and not wear them himself, as it would feel weird.
"This is the kunai I won when I won first place in the Junior Ninjutsu Contest last time. I can't think of anything good to give you as a gift due to the time constraints, so I'll give this to you."
Obito handed the silver kunai he had won earlier to Shisui, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
The time was too short, and he couldn't think of what to give as a gift. The only good thing he had was the silver kunai that won first place in the competition.
"Obito, thank you for your gift, but since it is so commemorative, why don't you exchange it for an ordinary kunai and keep this one for yourself." Shisui said.
Obito was already very happy that someone could give him something he cherished so much as a gift. The thought behind it was enough.
"No, how can I take back a gift I've given away? Shisui, please accept it. I won't take it back anyway." Obito resolutely stuffed it into Shisui's hand.
Seeing that Obito was so determined, Shisui did not refuse and accepted Obito's kindness.
He planned to win the first place when the Junior Ninjutsu Tournament started, and also give Obito a first-place silver kunai on his birthday.
Nohara Rin's gift was her handmade product, which seemed a bit rushed due to time constraints, but Shisui saw the thoughtfulness and nodded in thanks.
"Thank you so much, everyone." Shisui said after taking a deep breath.
This surprise was so unexpected that he was very happy.
"Shisui, you haven't even seen my gift yet, so don't be in a hurry to thank me." Mu Yue said with a smile.
Mu Yue handed a rectangular gift box to Shisui and said, "Open it now. I hope you like it."
Shisui nodded and opened the gift without hesitation as Mu Yue said. He was very curious about what gift Mu Yue would give him.
After opening it, Shisui didn't know what to call this gift for a moment.
If you call it a kunai, it is much longer than ordinary kunai. Ordinary kunai are usually 18 to 20 centimeters long. Shisui saw that Mu Yue's gift was about 30 centimeters long. It is not long enough to be called a knife. It is fine to just call it a short blade.
In addition, the short blade looks rather ordinary and is not as exquisite as Obito's silver kunai.
Suddenly Shisui noticed Mu Yue's hands.
At this time, Mu Yue's hands were not wrapped in bandages. There were many scars on her originally fair and slender hands, and it seemed that she had experienced a lot of hardships.
Looking at Mu Yue's injured hands, recalling what Mu Yue had said before about learning to make ninja tools, and then taking a look at the plain-looking short blade in his hand, Shisui understood everything instantly.
Mu Yue's learning to forge ninja tools was not the need of a strong man as he thought, nor was it for Obito's nonsensical ninja tool shop, but for the purpose of making a ninja tool for him personally.
At this moment, the originally unremarkable short blade instantly became the best ninja tool in the ninja world in Shisui's eyes, beating the first place silver kunai in the Junior Ninjutsu Competition by a hundred streets.
Really, Shisui didn't expect Mu Yue to do this for him.
Even when his uncle celebrated his birthday he would just buy him something as a gift, instead of letting him learn how to forge ninja tools and make one himself.
You have to know that Mu Yue is very busy. The time he spends on teaching alone is as much as the time they spend on practicing.
"Haha, don't be fooled by the ugly appearance of this short blade. It is actually quite practical. When forging it, I asked the boss to mix in a little bit of chakra metal. The performance of conducting chakra will be better than that of ordinary weapons." Mu Yue said with a smile.
It's not just chakra metal weapons that can conduct chakra, it's just that chakra metal has better conduction properties. Weapons made of pure chakra metal can even extend the blade's effect.
Mu Yue wanted to get more chakra metal to make weapons. On the one hand, the ninja tool shop didn't have that much due to the sudden demand, and he couldn't afford the price.
"But the forging materials are really expensive. The materials alone cost hundreds of thousands of taels. From now on, your lunch and dinner will not contain expensive ingredients." Mu Yue said in a joking tone.
"Hundreds of thousands of taels!" Might Guy looked at the short blade in Shisui's hand in shock. He didn't expect that this unprepossessing thing would cost so much money.
"No, I think this weapon is very beautiful. I like it very much." Shisui held the short blade in both hands and looked at it carefully, and found that the words "止" and "水" were engraved on both sides of the short blade.
At this moment, Zhishui was so grateful that he even felt that he was not worthy of Mu Yue doing this.
Have he and Mu Yue known each other for a long time? Actually, not long, not even a year.
He was not Mu Yue's only disciple, but just the first one.
However, even though he didn't tell Mu Yue his birthday, Mu Yue actually gave him such a big surprise.
In order to prepare gifts for him, Mu Yue had to learn how to forge ninja tools despite her busy schedule, and she even injured her hand due to her haste.
No matter whether it is the details of the ninja tools or the materials used in the ninja tools, Shisui can feel Mu Yue's attention and feelings for him.
At this moment, he began to understand those children who begged their parents to buy them snacks and toys.
With Mu Yue, Shisui experienced a feeling he had never experienced before.
What kind of feeling is that? Someone who will take the initiative to help you solve your problems when you are in trouble, think about you at every turn, and give you the most anticipated hope when you are lost...
There was a hint of mist in Shisui's eyes, which was rarely seen in him, because he was Uchiha Shisui, who was strong and brave and wanted to inherit the will of fire.
He put the short blade close to his body, looked at Mu Yue's injured hands, and said:
"Teacher Mu Yue, thank you for your hard work and for doing so much for me. I..."
Shishui didn't know what to say anymore. Facing Mu Yue's attention, what could he come up with?
At this time, Mu Yue put her hand on Shishui's head, smiled warmly and said,
"Shishui, you have to understand that I am your teacher and you are my disciple. That's enough."
Hearing Mu Yue's words, Zhishui could no longer control himself. He hugged Mu Yue and shed tears of joy.
"Teacher Mu Yue, I will definitely respond to your expectations." Shisui's emotions completely exploded.
The three disciples watching nearby also had many feelings.
"What kind of birthday gift will Teacher Mu Yue give me then?" Obito couldn't help but think.
"Teacher Mu Yue is such a good teacher." Nohara Lin thought to herself.
"What a youthful scene." Might Guy thought as he gave a thumbs up.
Seeing the message pop up from the system, Mu Yue's smile became even warmer.
