Chapter 147 Caged Bird, Activate!
“Okay.” Hinata Yuuto took two steps back, looked at the red knot in Tsunade’s hair, and said with satisfaction:
“Beautiful! It seems that my knot-tying talent is not inferior to Rouquan.”
Tsunade hummed:
“That’s because I’m good-looking.”
Hinata Yuuto reached out and pushed a strand of blond hair hanging on the woman's forehead behind her ear:
"You are right, sensei, there is no woman more beautiful than you in the ninja world."
Tsunade did not wear Konoha's standard green vest today, but wore a very traditional attire.
The lower body is made of scarlet hakama, and the upper body is made of undergarment with small sleeves, one layer on the inside and one on the outside, with a loose Chihaya cloak on the outside.
—White clothes and red skirts, with pine patterns and cranes, this is an extremely ancient costume.
“Pay!”
“Don’t worry!” Tsunade patted her chest to show that she was of good character.
“The night is very late, let’s go out.”
The two of them simply let themselves go and took care of themselves wherever they went. They ate, drank, played and bought things along the way, and their money bags gradually ran out.
Hyuga Yuuto didn't know that there was such a festival in the windy and sandy Sunagakure before this.
When there was no chakra in this world, most of the shamans had this image. Thousands of years ago, the sacred tree came to the world, and people had supernatural powers. The profession of witches was almost extinct and could only be seen at weddings or funerals.
Outside the house, the stars are shining brightly and the yellow sand is like the sea.
Tsunade took his hand and ran out of Sunagakure Village and came to the market outside. The blond woman first bought two masks, put them on for herself and Hinata Yuuto, and then screamed into her apprentice's ear:
She took her apprentice's hand and started wandering around.
“Don’t spend it frivolously, teacher, all my previous savings were used to buy detonating charms.”
“Then you are so lucky.” Tsunade opened the door curtain with a smile:
The desert is cold and bitter, so the people living in this land should dress up today, smile and happily throw torches into the sky, telling God: The unlucky people in the Kingdom of Wind are still alive, and the mere dust and sand cannot kill us. !
Hinata Yuuto didn’t know much about these stories. He just felt that tonight was really lively, just like the countdown to New Year’s Day in the metropolis in his previous life.
However, various traditional costumes have been handed down, and people will wear them during festivals or important life events.
This is the last day for the Konoha group in Sunagakure Village. Coincidentally, today is the traditional festival of the Land of Wind - the Fire Festival.
The biggest festival in Konoha is New Year's Eve, but in the Land of Wind, the most lively one is tonight's "Fire Festival".
They didn't just wander around in the beginning. As masters, Tsunade and Hinata Yuuto both had a strong sense of direction and would not get lost easily. However, the "big gathering" of the Fire Festival was too complicated and wide, and there was yellow sand under their feet. There were bonfires and people in costumes, and there was noisy shouting in the ears. There were not even any road signs, and it was difficult to remember the route.
With Sunagakure Village as the center, countless low sheds and wooden stands appeared at some point. Small businessmen and hawkers crowded around each other, and people from all over the Kingdom of Wind gathered here.
Bonfire carnival, market dance.
Through the mask, the blonde woman’s eyes were shining.
They lit bonfires, laughed and lay on the sand, and threw the flaming wooden handles into the sky, as if they wanted to poke a hole in the night sky.
The young boy from the separated family was startled. He remembered that his teacher had lost all his money in the casino. He couldn't help but laugh. He took out the coins and handed them to the boss, and then gave the entire money bag to Tsunade.
In the end, the master and apprentice walked through the vast gathering of flowing fire and came to the edge.
There are not too many people here. Hundreds of thick wooden stakes are nailed to the yellow sand. I don’t know what they are used for. It may also be related to the tradition of the Flowing Fire Festival.
“Huh…” The blond woman breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the wooden post, and rubbed her shoulders:
“Yuuto, how long have we been walking?”
"Three hours."
“I’m so tired... Hey, Yuuto, remember that piggy-shaped candy?”
“Remember, we bought it.”
"That's delicious, do you have any more?" "Here." Hinata Yuuto spread his hands, revealing the piglet candy in his palm.
Tsunade raised her hand to take it, but she didn't expect that the boy from the separated family suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Tsunade's wrist, raised her hand above her head, and pressed it on the wooden stake.
“Teacher, you are tired, I will feed you.”
Hinata Yuuto pinched the edge of Tsunade's mask and lifted it up slightly. The lower edge of the mask was lifted near the bridge of the woman's nose, revealing her white and smooth lower jaw and pretty lips.
His sight was covered by the mask, Tsunade's body trembled slightly, but she did not dodge. Instead, she lay softly in Hinata Yuuto's arms, waiting to be fed candy.
—Actually, both the master and the disciple knew very well that the person with the red lips that could be broken by blowing could not be a candy at all!
Jingle Bell…
However, at this moment, the ringing sound suddenly sounded.
“Selling candy bars…handmade candy bars…”
Tsunade woke up with a start, pushed Hinata Yuuto away, and put on her mask in a panic:
“This candy is delicious, I’ll buy some more...”
Then she ran away like a fly.
Only three centimeters difference! Hinata Yuuto patted his thigh sadly and looked at the disappearing blond woman, knowing that the teacher would avoid him for the next two days.
He raised his head with an unfavorable expression and looked at the merchant selling candy bars.
No wonder there are so many left...Is it really okay for you, a wandering businessman, to have such a low emotional intelligence?
Hinata Yuuto walked to the candy merchant and said angrily:
“Boss, come and try two pieces.”
"Okay..." the businessman replied, his voice was extremely hoarse, and the exposed skin was like the bark of an old tree, withered and loose.
Hinata Yuuto was slightly startled and slowed down his voice:
"How old are you?"
“It’s very big, young man...what shape of candy do you want?”
The old man lowered his head, his stature was extremely stooped, but his hands were very steady, and he rummaged through the bag neatly.
“It’s in the shape of a bird...old man, how big is it if it’s big?”
“Probably bigger than anyone you’ve ever seen.” The old man smiled and handed him a bird-shaped candy bar:
“Young man, is that your girlfriend just now?”
"Well…"
“It seems that we have a sweetheart.” The old man felt a little guilty:
“I’m sorry, the old man’s eyesight is dim and I’m disturbing you.”
“It’s okay.” Hinata Yuuto waved his hand generously:
"I am still young."
“It’s good to be young.” The old man sighed:
"If you make mistakes, you can make up for them immediately, and you have plenty of time. It's not like old guys like us who have to walk around the streets to buy candies for a long time in order to make peace for our children and grandchildren..." he said, raising his head with a smile. Starting hand:
“Young man, do you know this?”
The old man's skinny, skeleton-like fists were clenched together, his thumb pressed on the second joint of his index finger, leaving a gap in his palm.
In an instant, the sky and the earth were silent, and the sun was falling like an ice cellar, and the memories that had been buried for a long time roared ferociously.
Three years ago, this gesture... Hinata Shinji also made it!
"Finally I found you, the little bird pecking the cage..." The old man's hoarse voice fell into Hinata Yuuto's ears.
At the same time, the position of the brain and eyes caused extreme pain.
The world is spinning, and the world is dimly moaning in great pain.
—Caged bird, activate!
