From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 123 Infinite Space

Chapter 123 Infinite Space (5k)

There is no deep love without roots and reasons.

It’s just that some people still remember it, while some people have already forgotten it.

Uchiha Yayoi closed her eyes and lay quietly in the quiet room, feeling Sawara Kiri's breath, but her mind couldn't help but think of the day when she first imprinted the name "Sawara Kiri" in her heart.

Like most Uchiha, she was born into a traditional Uchiha ninja family.

Although her mother did not have the talent to become a ninja, her father was a very famous and outstanding jonin in the clan at that time. He had profound attainments in fire escape and physical skills that were well-known throughout the clan. He was a strong man who was well-known even outside the village.

However, unlike her mother who was gentle and easy-going, her father had always been a very tough person and had very strict requirements for her, his only child.

From the age of three, Uchiha Yayoi began comprehensive and rigorous ninja training under the guidance of his father.

But fortunately, she, like her father, was born with an outstanding talent in Fire Release Ninjutsu and had a good physique, so her father placed great hopes on her.

The little child at that time naturally did not understand any profound truths, but after she started to go to the battlefield, she understood what this kind of training and guidance at all costs meant to the ninjas, and what a strong confidence it was for the ninjas who had to fight with ninjas from other countries on the battlefield.

Yayoi only remembered that the training at that time was very hard, and only after finishing training every day could she eat the sweet cakes bought by her father as a reward.

Looking back now, I can hardly remember how hard it was. I only remember that the cakes and pastries at that time were delicious and a luxury that was hard to find in the village.

Her father loves his daughter very much.

This deep and silent love continued until she attended the Ninja School.

As is the fate that all ninja families often have to face, her father died on the battlefield due to a difficult mission.

The only thing his remaining companions brought back for him was a ninja emblem.

She took a leave of absence from the ninja school class that day, but it wasn't for long and she returned to school a day later.

Because the Second Ninja World War had not yet begun, and perhaps also because most children at that age were carefree, although her silence was unusual, no one seemed to notice the confused and helpless emotions hidden deep in her heart at that time.

It was very difficult for a seven-year-old child to suddenly accept that a living person who usually accompanied her quietly, watched her climb and jump on trees and water, and kept learning various fire escape techniques, would never appear in front of her again from that day on.

People who face death for the first time have no real sense of the concept of death.

She was just overwhelmed.

However, even in such a crowd, the children who usually surrounded her because of the Uchiha name and her own reputation as a 'genius' did not notice it.

A young man suddenly appeared in front of her against the setting sun, looked at her who was sitting alone on the swing after school, and extended a hand.

From the boy's palm, a candy appeared. It was obviously worthless from the low-quality paper packaging, but it was well preserved by the other party.

"When you are sad, you should eat sour fruit candy."

The boy who had hardly ever spoken to her sat next to her swing in a familiar manner, with an annoying smile on his face, and turned his head to look at her:
“When you get over the initial sour taste, you will be able to taste the sweetness that comes later.”

"It's amazing."

Uchiha Yayoi remembered that at that time she just looked at him with a speechless gaze, as if she was looking at potatoes and cucumbers, without any concept.

But his words were like a life-saving straw to me at that time. No matter how strong my own will was, I couldn't stop them from flooding into my mind.

On the contrary, the child in front of her seemed to be accustomed to her reaction and said to himself without caring at all:
“When you can’t bear the pain any more, you should smile more.”

“Only those who shoulder the burden of their past are qualified to move forward.”

"Hey! Sounds great, right?"

All the words were incomprehensible to a child, like an adult comforting a friend who had lost a loved one, pretending to be a mature fool.

However, Uchiha Yayoi found that she unexpectedly enjoyed listening to it and wanted to hear him continue. Even her eyes were shining with a bright light.

The little girl pouted, her voice choked with sobs, but she still insisted:
"What do you know."

"I know a lot."

He stood up, like a tower in the sunset: "Many things in this world are destined."

"It's like a white skirt meets a white shirt, a sponge meets a wasabi, a salmon meets a sphincter. Once they meet, it's like golden wind and jade dew, dry wood and raging fire."

"Ara, that's what you said, right?"

"Pfft."

But she suddenly laughed out loud, as if she saw an idiot: "Do you know what a sphincter is? How can a fish get in?"

"That's hard to say." The little boy looked too young, "Wind Essential Oil Happy Water, Nun and Fish. There are many people with wonderful ideas in this world."

"For example, I can make you laugh when you are sad."

Uchiha Yayoi remembered very clearly that her smile suddenly disappeared at that moment, as if she felt a sense of betrayal to the sadness, betrayal to her father's death and the heavy love that had passed away and could never be reproduced.

However, Sawara Kiri still looked at her quietly as usual:

"Na."

"If you put on a little skirt, would you want to spin around?"

"What a disgusting guy." Yayoi remembered that she spoke coldly in a terrifying tone.

Who would say that to someone who is sad?
Sahara Kiri didn't care at all. She just turned her back to her and stood on tiptoe slightly, as if she could imagine such a scene, and sighed:

"but."

"Your deceased family would surely love to see this, too?"

Little Miss Yayoi was startled for a moment, as if she suddenly recalled her father's always stern and terrifying face.

can you?

My mood suddenly became complicated again.

Sahara Kiri seemed to have completely forgotten her existence, and continued to talk to herself as if she was daydreaming:

“It will definitely look great.”

A girl who has never been praised like this by others will always feel shy about such straightforward kindness, but she also seems to be suddenly angry - maybe it's both - making it difficult to tell the girl's mood for a moment.

However, even though she tried hard to keep a straight face, her face was still flushed like the sunset.

At that time, even Yayoi herself didn't know what kind of emotion she was feeling, and she suddenly asked:
"How can a ninja wear a skirt?"

"Do I have to wear it just for you to see?"

The little man's answer was more decisive than ever before:
"Of course."

Her questions became more and more pointed, like a string of bullets: "Then you will always watch me? Watch me for the rest of my life?"

"I think I will."

A smile appeared on his face, which softened the deepest part of Yayoi's heart even now when she recalled it:
"Because Yayoi-san is cute."

As he was alone on his way home, Uchiha Yayoi could not remember clearly what happened.

Only his smile and her sadness became the imprint of the memory of that moment.

Only the young man standing in front of her at that time left her with a clear impression. Even now, almost ten years have passed, every word he said, every movement, and every change in his expression are as if happening right in front of her.

But after that, their relationship did not become as close as they had imagined.

Even after saying that, Sahara Kiri seemed to treat her as just an ordinary friend, occasionally chatting with her from a distance.

She was just one of the many little children he had comforted in his life.

Neither special nor particular.

Sawara Kiri's prematurely mature heart made him unaware of the impact this experience would leave on a certain girl.

But he suddenly became the most special and unique person in Yayoi's heart.

From then on, only Uchiha Yayoi himself stood silently behind him a little distance away, like a fool, watching his entire campus life.

The more you pay attention to it, the stronger the emotion in your heart will be.

When it came to graduation assignment, she took the initiative to ask to join his team, replacing a female classmate whose name she had forgotten.

However, the fog didn't like itself that much.

Although she is beautiful, has long legs, a slim figure and well-developed breasts, at her youthful and beautiful age she has become the most eye-catching one among everyone around her.

But he is still the same as before, even a little disgusted sometimes.

Until now, Uchiha Yayoi knew this clearly. A girl who becomes humble in front of the person she likes always has a delicate and sensitive mind.

Because she understood this matter in the past, she had been trying very hard to endure and test the waters, like an insidious hunter, pretending to be cool and elegant, moving cautiously, in millimeters, to approach his hand that casually fell beside her, looking for an opportunity to touch it.

But, the time is too long.

Until his shadow is everywhere in my eyes, his photo is in every corner of the room, and his voice is in every space in my heart.
Ruminating on the self-sweetness of memories, emotions gradually become distorted.

By now, Uchiha Yayoi finally discovered it.

She actually couldn't help it.

'I want to be with him no matter what.'

This has almost become an obsession that is so deep that it is imprinted deep into the girl's soul.

Sawara Kiri, it must be him.

Almost at the moment when the entire sealing ritual was completed, the corresponding prompt popped up on the panel in front of Sawara Kiri.

"Uchiha Yayoi's Middle Heart Knot (Completed)"

"Heart knot points +3"

"Bond level increased↑"

"Uchiha Yayoi bond level: four → five"

"Complete the middle level knot for the first time"

"You can choose a random [Talent] or [Special Item]"

When Sawara Kiri saw the extremely obvious prompt that appeared on that column of the panel, he felt a chill in his heart.

It's over.

The bond level can actually be increased? !
The fourth level before was not the highest, what kind of bond was this? Sawara Kiri still didn't know that the words she casually said in order to create a gentle personality when she was in the ninja school had bound him for life.

He had long forgotten this little thing.

It is only natural to care about classmates whose parents died in battle.

If he knew the reason, he would probably want to go back and tear his own mouth apart.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Miss Yayoi doesn't seem to have any extreme reactions for the time being.

As Sawara Kiri was thinking this, he saw Miss Yayoi, who slowly stood up from the sealing platform, suddenly grab his sleeve, looking a little puzzled:
"Where are you going?"

Sahara Kiri was also startled: "I, I'll go wash my hands?"

"No more behind?"

Miss Yayoi's tone was becoming more and more suspicious. She looked down at her body as the sealing spell gradually disappeared, and then looked at his pants.

Not moving?

How can this be done?

However, just as Sawara Kirishin was thinking about how to get out, she saw Miss Xuehui, who had been lying outside the door and listening for a long time, suddenly rushed in and shouted:
"What else do you want behind that?"

The small figure spread its wings like a hen protecting its calves, and flew between Sawara Kiri and her, looking straight at her:
"Our Wu is a serious man, don't think he is just any random person!"

"Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

"."

Uchiha Yayoi looked at the girl in front of him, then at the smirking Sahara Kiri, and sighed helplessly. Without saying anything, he started to put on his clothes.

I wanted to continue chasing the chicken today, but it seems that it is impossible.

We need to find another opportunity where this little thing isn't in the way.

After all, Wu values the gentle nature of his family.

There's really nothing you can do against him.

"correct."

As if suddenly remembering something, Sahara Kiri changed the subject and said, "Yayoi, do you want to go to the yard and try out a new technique?"

"This is the first time I've completed this kind of seal on someone else. It would be bad if something went wrong."

Miss Yayoi's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Is this my first time with the fog?"

Ms. Xuehui suddenly raised her voice: "It's just the first sealing technique! That's all!"

The final note has a strong bite.

hateful!

This bad woman who likes to make dirty jokes.

Very angry.

Uchiha Yayoi didn't care, but followed Sawara Kiri to the yard outside.

She drew out the blade in her hand and pointed it at the empty space in front of her.

The scarlet Sharingan opened inadvertently, and with extremely subtle control ability, it mobilized the flow of chakra in the body, and it slowly flowed into the body according to the initial instructions.

"Om-"

Deep in my mind, it seemed as if some tiny light was ignited and turned into a ball that spread out in the surroundings.

Untouchable and ungraspable.

No matter how you move, you should always maintain a position about an inch above your body surface.

The girl drew out the knife and tentatively scratched the surface of her arm, a tiny fire burning faintly.

However, the moment the blade that ignited the flame came to a stop within an inch of his body surface, it could no longer move forward.

As if separated by an invisible membrane.

Amazing.

Is this the magic of fog?
not only.

The flame ignited by the blade in Uchiha Yayoi's hand became more and more intense, eventually forming an extremely deep and heavy scarlet, turning into a red sword.

While maintaining the Sharingan, the Heblade Technique, and the space defense at the same time, his body suddenly shot forward.

He swung the knife with a loud bang.

Almost at the same moment, the flames ignited on the surface of the red sword and the space membrane around the body expanded at the same moment.

The raging flames suddenly expanded and broke into pieces, and under the passive movement of space, they splashed forward.

Forming a circle of diffused fireworks.

Sahara Kiri looked at her and saw how she could use it so quickly, with a smile on her face:

"That way, you won't be afraid of anyone being able to hurt you."

Uchiha Yayoi stood where he was, and when he heard that, he turned around and stared at him straight.

The pair of scarlet, rapidly spinning three magatama made Sawara Kiri, who was smiling just now, feel some subtle emotions in his heart.

Miss Yayoi suddenly spoke in a gentle tone:

"Does this sealing technique have a name?"

Sawara Kiri was a little confused: "The name of this technique is the Unlimited Technique?"

"Do not."

Miss Yayoi's voice was decisive: "This is a special gift from Wu to me."

"So, let's call it "Sawara Mist Absolute Defense"."

Sawara Kiri's face suddenly turned dark.

With your talent for naming, you should sit at the kids' table with Minato Namikaze.

However, Uchiha Yayoi herself was very happy about it, so Sawara Kiri naturally followed her.

Call love whatever you want.

After the comprehensive experiment of the technique was completed and it was basically confirmed that there were no problems, Sawara Kiri sent this person away as soon as possible on the grounds that "the Yin Seal requires the storage of chakra for continuous use."

After Miss Yayoi's problem was solved, his own strength would naturally improve.

"It's been a long time since I waited."

Sawara Kiri muttered to herself, then turned around and started looking at her own panel.

"Consumption of Heart Points: 4"

"Unlimited Ritual: Stage 3 → Stage 4"

"Information localization has been completed"

"Field Expansion: Infinite Space (S): Creates a special chakra field in the form of Yin-Yang Release, which is manifested as a pitch-black sphere. Within this field, a mental shock is created that forces infinite information into the brain, which can put the opponent in a state of neither life nor death where "information never stops pouring in."

"Note: The range of the field is linked to the chakra consumption. The basic consumption is extremely high. Please use it with caution."

"Cannot be upgraded"

「The first complete capability has been developed」

He looked at the information on the panel in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

It has been almost a year since I got this panel, and it was not until now that I finally upgraded one of its S-level abilities to the maximum level. It was really not easy.

However, the cost and the reward are always equal.

Due to the special nature of "Infinite Space", Sawara Kiri does not intend to experiment at home.

When I have time, I will go to the Death Forest to find my animal friends and give it a try. It’s mainly a matter of consumption.

In addition, there are randomly drawn [Talents] or [Special Items]

Sawara Kiri hesitated for a long time between the two.

If I have to say, talents like "Energetic Beast" can indeed improve his current strength, but there are more than just this type of talent. If there is an intelligence bonus, it will be basically useless for his current reckless panel.

But things like special items sound unreliable.

Even daily necessities like universal capsules are not that important to him now.

"Try it."

Finally, Sahara Kiri gritted his teeth and said, "It's happened so many times, what if it explodes this time?"

"Choose your talent!"

The moment the selection is made, a new line of prompts pops up on the panel.

"Getting Talent"

"Mind's Eye: False (A)"

"Information localization has been completed"

"Details: Has resistance to visual impairment. The sixth sense, also known as premonition, is a natural ability to foresee danger."

"This ability comes from "FGO""

「Consume Heart Points to increase」
