Saiki breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Haku didn't go into a dead end, everything was fine.

After all, Haku's destructive power and explosive power were amazing.

Even Qi Mu would have to put in some effort to control Haku's berserk state without losing anything.

"Let's go back." Haku stood up.

Haku stood up and patted his clothes.

"Hmm …" Saiki suddenly realized a problem.

"Hmm?!"

Wait,

Saiki was also there. He couldn't meet Saiki in this way. Although Saiki was qualified to know the truth,

However, as Qi Muxing's elder brother, he didn't want Qi Muxing to accept these dark things so early.

"Well," Saiki suddenly stopped and said to Haku, "I remember that I still have some things to buy. Wait, I'll be back soon. You don't have to accompany me."

Saiki ran to a kimono shop.

Without looking, he pulled down the nearest bright blue bathrobe that seemed to be the right size for him.

"Wait,

Little girl,

That — that — "

"I'll buy it,

Don't worry. "Saiki knew that the shop assistant was afraid of him, this little rascal, causing trouble, but time was tight.

He didn't have time to explain too much.

He just picked up the clothes and rushed to the fitting room.

Then he disappeared as soon as he entered the fitting room.

He came to the place where Saiki was.

Saiki was practicing seriously at this time.

Saiki sighed. It was all thanks to Shisui.

Saiki was the kind of person who easily relaxed once no one was watching.

Fortunately, Shisui was still watching her.

But,

Saiki,

I'm sorry,

I have to do this …

。

Qi Mu bent down and picked up a stone. He weighed it in his hand, then hardened his heart and quickly threw it out.

He watched the stone hit Saiki on the back of her neck.

He watched Saiki slowly fall down with guilt, and before Saiki completely touched the ground, he grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Please have a good rest."

。

Saiki returned immediately after finishing her task.

Furthermore, he already knew the price of the clothes. He handed the money to the shop assistant while she was still in shock. Then, he immediately rushed out of the shop to meet up with Bai.

。

。

"Are children shopping so straightforward these days … And his, wait, this is men's clothing?!"

。

"What did you buy?" Haku looked at the bathrobe in Saiki's hand in surprise.

"Oh, I just suddenly wanted to buy it — that's how girls are," Saiki said with a straight face.

"Is that so …"

"By the way, Bai, we're planning to leave in half a month. What do you plan to do then?

Would you like to come to Konoha with us, I mean, if you could? '

Haku stopped and shook his head with a smile. "I don't know.

However, he heard that Konoha was a very beautiful place. It was said that cherry blossoms bloomed there in spring.

There were long periods of spring and summer, and winter was not as long as here.

And there are many people like me … If possible, I want to go too. "

"No matter where you want to go, I'm sure you can do it."

Haku nodded. He suddenly had the belief to find a life that truly belonged to him — this was something he could choose for himself.

"Haku, do you yearn for power?" Although he was hesitant, Saiki still asked this question.

"Of course," Haku shook his head. "I think that having power can do a lot of things — but some people can't change their fate even if they have power. So, power is still something that needs to be used."

"Actually, what I want to say is — the power obtained from revenge, the power obtained from unwillingness and vanity, the power obtained from advocating force, is not as powerful as the power obtained from protecting and restraining."

Haku smiled. "Is that so, Hoshi, you're so thoughtful. I'm older than you … really, it's not like you at all …"

"…" Is it that obvious … Saiki shut his mouth and did not dare to say anything more.

"I'm kidding."

"…" It's really scary.

"Let's go back."

Please go back quickly.

。

。

。

"Hey, you're already full?" Shisui saw that "Saiki" only took a few mouthfuls of rice and stopped to get up and go back to the room to rest.

This is really not like the usual Saiki — she's the kind of person who would never be full with just this little bit of food!

What's wrong with this girl?

"Maybe she's a little too tired?" Haku put down his chopsticks apologetically.

"Saiki has been worried about me these days." Haku looked down at the tea in his hand. "I've been having a knot in my heart recently, and Saiki has been a little worried about me because of this.

But, thanks to her, the knot in my heart has now been untied. "

Shisui sighed and looked at Haku with some hesitation.

Saiki left the dining table. Although he did not want to say something that would spoil his mood at this time, he still had to say it.

"If you have anything to say to me, please say it … Thank you for taking care of me these days."

Shisui sighed again. "Boy Bai, we're going to leave in half a month. What are you going to do?"

Haku raised his head, and his eyes were unprecedentedly firm. "Probably, I want to know what the power of protection is.

I want to start my own journey and find the power of protection that Saiki talked about. "

"The power of protection?"

Shisui was very curious — he also wanted to know how Saiki untied the knot in Haku's heart, who was obviously carrying a deep hatred.

"She said that the power of protection is stronger than any other power."

When Shisui heard this sentence, his eyes suddenly moistened — he thought of Itachi, who guarded the village.

He thought of Obito, who sacrificed himself for his teammates, and …

Saiki could still say such a thing — she really grew up!

Shisui's eyes were already wet. He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his eyes. His nose was slightly red, and his voice began to sound a little nasal.

"Don't worry about me, please continue …" Shisui wiped his nose again.

Haku smiled, then shook his head. "To be honest, I had almost the same reaction at that time. I was really surprised at that time.

I didn't expect a child younger than me to say such a thing.

I was so shocked at that time that I couldn't say a word …

Saiki is a very special and gentle child … "

。

.

Saiki, who was standing behind the door and eavesdropping, was speechless.

Haku, your reaction at that time was not as exaggerated as Shisui's — if Saiki really said such a thing, as her brother, he would be shocked, but it would be impossible for him to be as exaggerated as Shisui's … But mother and Kōsuke would definitely cry.

And, gentleness …

Saiki sighed, thinking of Saiki, who was passionate about painting and cooking before coming to this world, and Saiki, who was passionate about physical training after coming to this world — the Saiki who went on a rampage in the village every morning to exercise and even pulled Sakura to practice boxing (although she didn't like to practice ninjutsu and magic).

Sigh, she was getting farther and farther away from the word 'gentle' …

。

。

Saiki woke up in the middle of the night, but she didn't know when she came to the room when she was training.

She rubbed her eyes and saw that the moon was already high in the sky outside the window.

She yawned and planned to continue lying down.

Suddenly, she noticed a piece of clothing next to her pillow.

There was also a note on it.

She climbed out of the quilt and picked up the piece of paper.

"Saiki.

I saw your determination and your struggle, so this is a gift for you as an encouragement.

Also, the power of protection is stronger than any other power obtained for any other purpose.

I hope you can realize this one day.

Come on, we must go home together. "

The corners of Saiki's eyes began to moisten — Kazuo gege, why didn't he come to see her when he was already here?

She missed him so much — although she was only away for a month, she really, really missed him …

Also, it must be her gege who sent her back to the room, right?

This gift …

She unfolded the clothes and was touched but instantly froze — wait, isn't this a boy's bathrobe?

What's wrong with her gege?

Does he want me to give it to another boy?

— Eh?!

Is her gege starting to worry about his sister's future love life like Shisui? He even prepared something for his sister to give to a boy?!

Saiki's face suddenly turned red — Kazuo gege looked so serious, she didn't expect him to have such a side …

After a while, she calmed down and decided to lie down again.

"Ouch," she covered her neck, "what's wrong with my neck, why does it hurt so much …"

。

。

。

"You really don't want to go back to Konoha with us?" Saiki was a little disappointed and lowered her head, her eyes full of reluctance.

Haku came over and touched Saiki's head. "It's okay — we will see each other again in the future. I hope that by that time, you and I will have found the power that belongs to us.

I may travel to other countries later … "

。

。

。

"I'm so tired …" Saiki lay on the floor without a care for her image.

Shisui's face was extremely ugly — although he had the title of "Instant Shisui", he didn't have a space ability like Namikaze Minato.

Although he was faster than the average person, he still needed to consume physical strength!

Along the way, he was basically the one carrying Qi Muxing.

Why did Saiki feel so tired …

Having such a "daughter," Uchiha Shisui was a little tired.

"Shisui onii-san," Saiki seemed to be a little depressed, "Do you really think we can see Haku again?"

Shisui, who was rubbing her legs, stopped. Was it because of this reason — she was so depressed these days?

Saiki was also such an emotional child …

The previous unhappiness suddenly disappeared, and Shisui squatted down and rubbed Saiki's head. "Don't think too much — we will definitely meet again.

Really, pull yourself together! "

Saiki raised her misty eyes and looked at Shisui pitifully. Shisui's heart suddenly softened — it was good to have a "daughter" …

。

。

。

Seeing this scene, Saiki thought: What a wrong decision — I shouldn't have let her and Shisui go out for so long!

。

。

"Gift?" Sasuke looked at Saiki, who came to him just to give him a "gift", in shock.

"This is actually a gift from my brother — but he actually bought a man's model, and it's too big — I don't need it, but it should be the right size for you."

Saiki patted Sasuke, and her eyes showed a gratified and kind light — since it would be too strange to give it to an ordinary male friend, it was not appropriate to sell it as a gift from her brother.

So, it must be no problem to give it to his disciple.

Although Naruto must need new clothes — this one was too big.

"I'll give it to you!

Goodbye! "After dealing with this" gift, "Saiki ran home with a relaxed mind and body.

Sasuke was left alone in the same place. He was a little confused.

Could it be that Saiki liked him?

Sasuke felt his face become a little hot, and his whole brain was in a state of crash …

If it was Saiki —
