"I've been watching you." Wu Ye said with a smile.

"Watching it all day?"

Mei Terumi blinked her eyes and said, "Isn't it boring?"

Wu Ye shook his head gently: "Looking at the person you like will only make your heart beat faster, how can it be boring?"

Mei Terumi's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "What did you say?"

Wu Ye smiled but said nothing.

Mei Terumi grabbed his neck and said, "Speak now! Say it again!"

"hehe…"

Wu Ye sniffed the tip of her hair and smiled slowly: "I said... I like you."

Mei Terumi was stunned for a moment.

The sky was spinning, the light was distorted, and she felt that the whole world seemed unreal.

Because from beginning to end, Wu Ye had never expressed the slightest bit of love for her.

Their daily interactions always started with her being bullied and ended with her collapsing.

She was either being taught a lesson or being abused, and she rarely even had a good heart-to-heart talk.

So at this moment, the four words that came out of Wu Ye's mouth seemed to make her relationship completely complete.

Finally, a complete circle was drawn.

"It turns out... I'm not alone..."

Mei Terumi suddenly closed her eyes and buried her head in Wuye's neck, without loosening her hands for a moment.

Wu Ye held her, feeling her delicate body trembling, gently stroking her long curly hair, biting her delicate earlobe, and whispered: "Don't be a water shadow anymore, come back with me, okay?"

Mei Terumi's body shook violently, and she raised her head suddenly: "What did you say?!"

Wu Ye smiled and stroked her head gently, letting her curly hair slide through his fingertips: "I say, how about coming home with me?"

"you you…"

Mei Terumi's red lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with mist: "You have kept me by your side all this time, isn't it... isn't it for you to control the Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Water through me?"

"When did I say this was the purpose?"

Wu Ye laughed and said, "What are you always thinking about? This time I brought you to the Hidden Mist Village, firstly to hunt down the masked man, and secondly because you want to come back and change this country."

He shook his head and said, "And I never planned to arrange anything for you. All the paths are left for you to choose."

"I thought...I thought..."

Mei Terumi covered her mouth with her hands and choked slightly, "I always thought you trained me and controlled me for the sake of the Water Kingdom..."

Wuye stretched out his fingers to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "You have always known that I am narcissistic. How could I possibly want to use such means? To be arrogant, I want to unify the ninja world. I can rely on myself and I don't need anyone's help at all."

"Really...really..." Mei Terumi stared at him closely.

Wu Ye nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

Mei Terumi no longer had any doubts, and her eyes became as gentle as flowing water.

"So..." she whispered, "all the doubts were just my own imagination..."

"So, now that the Water Kingdom matters are settled," Wuye stretched, "let's go home, okay?"

He thought Mei Terumi would agree without hesitation, but he didn't hear her answer for a long time.

"what happened?"

Wu Ye looked down and saw that Mei Terumi's eyes were red.

He wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears from her eyes, but she gently pushed him away.

She slowly, slowly got up, staggered back to the spring, and put on her clothes bit by bit.

Wu Ye stood up in a daze, watching her every move without looking back for a moment.

He suddenly understood something.

"Shhhhhh..."

He raised his hand, and the thousand origami cranes by the pool flew back and gathered into his Hokage robe again.

Under the setting sun, the hem of the clothes seemed to be jumping and shining brightly.

Wu Ye stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at the sunset shrouded in clouds and mist, and no longer spoke a word.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Mei Terumi was fully dressed and stood behind him again.

"Have you decided?" Wu Ye asked softly.

"Yeah." She answered softly.

"so…"

Wu Ye didn't look back, but just said softly: "You want to stay in this country, want to realize your ideals, and stand against me?"

"Ah."

Mei Terumi's voice came softly.

"Alright."

Wu Ye let out a breath, as if to dispel the depression in his heart.

"Maybe it's because I've been telling you to choose what you really want to do, so you came up with this idea..."

He smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, I wish I could be more domineering, so that I can keep you by my side regardless of your wishes, just like Xiaonan back then, without having to endure all that pain..."

"but…"

Wuye lowered his head and looked at his feet: "I... respect your choice."

He spoke softly, then slowly walked down the mountain without looking back.

Because he knew that Mei Terumi behind him must be in tears.

But this guy has always been very stubborn in front of her, so don't make her feel ashamed...

"This body and these eyes are a perfect match for me."

Wu Ye's figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the white fog.

In his eye sockets, the scarlet Sharingan began to spin, and on the second pale golden circle, the fifth magatama appeared...

Chapter 398 Contents of Thousand Paper Cranes

"The improvement of pupil power has accelerated the fusion of the body. It turns out that it is because of the lack of magatama..."

At the foot of the mountain, Wu Ye looked into his own eyes at the edge of the lake.

There are two light golden circles inside, with three magatama in the inner circle and two magatama in the outer circle.

Then the three magatama in the inner circle slowly rotated and gathered together, forming the shape of a kaleidoscope.

The outer circle and the two magatama were hidden behind the Mangekyō Sharingan and did not show up.

Wu Ye stretched out his hand and looked, and suddenly found that his eyes were dazed.

"Hmm... Is this Uchiha Presbyopia?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly and closed the kaleidoscope, but the scenes before him still overlapped slightly.

"I used the Mangekyō too much... Maybe it's because I always kept my sister by my side..."

Wu Ye shook his head.

"It seems I need a pair of reading glasses..."

He summoned the slug and asked her to teleport him back to Konoha.

He had nothing to worry about in terms of advancing his kaleidoscope, as long as he could get another kaleidoscope before he went blind.

Very simple...

I just hope it's a little bit lighter...

"No night..."

After he disappeared, the figure of Mei Terumi appeared at the place where he disappeared.

She looked at her feet silently until night fell, still motionless.

A thousand paper cranes floated out from her palm, landed on the lake, and swam away into the distance.

She knew what was written on the paper cranes.

That was the news Xiaonan told her quietly...

Only the most real breakup can help Wu Ye continue to awaken his power.

This is the most fundamental reason for her sudden determination.

It is not the ideal of changing the Water Country that Wuye thought...

"You must come quickly... to conquer the Land of Water... so that..."

"Only then can I feel at ease in your arms again..."

"You can definitely do what you said..."

"I have always believed..."

...

After returning to Konoha, Wuye was of course knocked to the ground by Kushina.

"Why have you been away for so long?"

Kushina lay on top of him, her little face pressed against his neck, sniffing and kissing him, as if she wanted to swallow his scent into her stomach.

Wuye lay on the ground helplessly, and stretched out his hands to hug her slender waist: "Things in the Water Country are a bit troublesome, but they have been dealt with. The Hidden Cloud Village has also withdrawn. From now on, I will stay in the village well."

"Great!"

Kushina sat up and smiled.

But her smile quickly faded, and she reached out to hold Wuye's cheeks: "You seem unhappy, what happened?"

"No, it's all in the past."

Wu Ye stood up with a smile and held her in his arms.

Kushina leaned on him and looked around: "That's not right, you clearly left the village with Mei Terumi, but the slug summoned you back... um..."

She raised her eyes to look at him cautiously: "Is...something wrong with Mei Terumi?"

"Nothing?" Wuye shook his head. "She just stayed in the Water Kingdom to pursue her dream."

Kushina was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently: "Is that so..."

"Ah."

Wu Ye nodded, then looked to the other side.

There, Kaguya's figure walked over and stood quietly beside him.

Kushina suddenly spoke up: "Wuye, I'm going to sleep with Mikoto tonight. Can I stay at home with you tomorrow?"

Wu Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

So, Kushina walked out the door.

Wu Ye watched her back as she left, then slowly backed away, sat down beside the bed, and leaned against the headboard.

Kaguya's body came over on its own.

He stretched out his hands, pulled her gentle body into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"elder sister…"

The soft whisper disappeared into the air...
