Chapter 40 Even a God Descending to Earth Couldn't Save Us; The Mission to Leave the Village Ha
After many years, another girl held a birthday party for herself, which cleansed Gojoya's heart.
After overcoming her inner demons and starting a new life, Kushina Uzumaki became Gojo Yoru's first friend and the bond that allowed him to begin integrating into this world.
Now, the girl's heart-winning move has finally made Gojo Yoru feel a sense of belonging to this world and have someone to protect.
That night, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina had a wild time.
The two ate the cake together, but the failed attempts in the kitchen became their weapons, leading to a cake war.
After cleaning the house and taking a shower, the two of them, wearing bathrobes, went out hand in hand to stroll through the night market, leaving behind their childlike figures in various places on the central street.
It wasn't until late at night that Gojo Yoru finally escorted Kushina Uzumaki back to the mansion of the Great Pillar.
The clock hands jump to midnight of the next day.
The gifts of time and space have still not arrived this year.
The following day, the surprise was successfully delivered, and Kushina Uzumaki, who could finally breathe a sigh of relief, was unsurprisingly absent.
Gojo Yoru could only come to the training ground alone.
When Orochimaru saw Gojo Yoru, he immediately sensed that something seemed to have changed about the boy.
Recalling the information from the shadow clone yesterday afternoon, Orochimaru chuckled, "You seem to be in a good mood. Looks like you had a lot of fun last night."
"Orochimaru-sensei, so you knew all along." Gojo Yoru instantly realized why Orochimaru's smile yesterday was so meaningful.
Orochimaru smiled without saying a word.
-
Before the two could begin their new day of cultivation...
A high-pitched eagle cry suddenly rang out in the sky.
The sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire central street of Konoha.
Looking up at the eagle circling above the central street, Orochimaru's expression changed slightly. Then he instructed Gojo Yoru, "I'm giving you a day off. Get some rest. We'll meet again at the same time tomorrow."
After saying that, Orochimaru vanished in an instant.
Gojo Yoru was also gazing at the eagles soaring in the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.
As a top student in academic subjects, Gojo Yoru certainly knew the meaning behind that eagle's cry.
This is a signal for an emergency mobilization.
Upon hearing the eagle's cry, all Jonin in the village must immediately rush to the Hokage Building.
"If I remember correctly, this year's Chunin Exams have already ended. Could it be that war is coming?" Gojo Yoru couldn't help but wonder to himself.
It's no wonder he thought that way, since the Second Shinobi World War was completely unfamiliar to Gojo Yoru.
The only scenes he still vividly remembers are a few that he saw in TV anime.
First, Nawaki, full of vigor, ignored the advice of the Konoha ninjas wearing vests and charged ahead in the ninja running style. Then he jumped down a small slope and was blown to death with a bang, dying with zero kills.
This method of suicide is so extreme that even a god descending from heaven couldn't save him unless Rope Tree was forbidden from participating in the battle.
The second scene is the confrontation between the three legendary Sannin of Konoha and Hanzo.
Thirdly, there's the story of Yahiko becoming a disciple of Orochimaru.
There are also some fragmented scenes, such as Jiraiya training with Yahiko and the other two children, Kato Dan supporting Tsunade and then dying, and Tsunade developing hemophobia.
Even the scene of Konoha's White Fang killing Sasori's parents was barely remembered by Gojo Yoru.
The Second Shinobi World War was not yet his stage.
But Gojo Yoru took this battle extremely seriously.
This battle came too early, during his weakest period.
If he were to master the Yin Seal or complete the second evolution, Gojou Yoru would be able to handle things with ease.
Now, Gojo Yoru just hopes the war will come slowly, giving him more time to develop.
……
"Night, didn't you go on a mission today?"
At noon, Kushina Uzumaki arrived at Yoru Gojo's house.
Seeing Gojo Yoru reading a book in the living room, she walked over and sat down next to him. While peeling some fruit from the coffee table, she asked him a question.
"Orochimaru-sensei had something to do today, so he gave me the day off." Gojo Yoru put down his book and smiled. "It's a good thing you didn't come this morning, otherwise it would have been a wasted trip."
"Hmph... I've always been lucky." Kushina Uzumaki wrinkled her nose, looking smug.
Gojo Yoru nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if you're unlucky, you won't even run into me."
Uzumaki Kushina: "(⊙o⊙)"
If she hadn't been holding a knife, Kushina Uzumaki would have loved to pounce on Gojo Yoru and pinch his cheeks to see just how thick-skinned he was.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Narcissist, you've got it backwards."
"It's just the truth," Gojo Yoru said coolly, crossing his legs and holding a book in his hand, striking a domineering CEO pose.
"If I weren't broke right now, I would definitely buy a camera and take pictures of your arrogant face, so I can laugh at you properly when you grow up," Kushina Uzumaki retorted.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener; Gojo Yoru's eyes suddenly flashed.
dong dong dong-
Before Gojo Yoru could reply, a knock on the door suddenly reached their ears.
Both Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina were slightly taken aback.
Kushina Uzumaki stared at Yoru Gojo in disbelief: "Besides me, there are actually people knocking on your door?"
Gojo's lips twitched slightly.
Although these words are hurtful, they are indeed the truth.
The two got up, went downstairs, and opened the door to their home.
Upon seeing who was outside the door, Kushina Uzumaki exclaimed in surprise, "Orochimaru-sensei?"
Gojo Yoru was equally surprised, but respectfully stepped aside and raised his hand, saying, "Orochimaru-sensei, welcome to the Gojo family! Please come in!"
"Excuse me, I won't go in."
Orochimaru shook his head in refusal, took out a slip of paper from his person and handed it to Gojou Yoru, saying seriously, "Go and buy everything on this slip of paper. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, wait for me at the village entrance. I will take you out of the village to carry out a mission."
"……yes!"
Gojo Yoru's expression froze the moment he received the note.
Is the first mission outside the village finally coming?
But judging from Orochimaru's appearance, it doesn't seem like an ordinary C-rank mission.
Orochimaru didn't chat with Gojo Yoru. After handing him the note, he turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared. It turned out to be just a shadow clone.
It seems Orochimaru's main body is still busy.
"Night, are you leaving the village? Will it be a long time before you come back?" Kushina Uzumaki asked, sounding a little downcast.
Having grown accustomed to being inseparable from Gojo Yoru every day, she felt a strange sense of panic at the thought that Gojo Yoru would be away from her for a long time.
It feels like I've gone back to when I first came to Konoha last year!
Noticing Kushina's change in mood, Yoru Gojo patted her head and chuckled, "It's unavoidable. If you're bored at home, go to the Ninja Academy and find some bullies to kill time."
"puff……"
Kushina Uzumaki was instantly amused by Yoru Gojo, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, saying coquettishly, "You're the biggest bully in the ninja academy, who else can I turn to?"
"Let's not talk about that now. Didn't you want to buy a camera? Let's go now." Gojo Yoru changed the subject, taking Kushina Uzumaki's small hand and heading towards the storage room.
