Chapter 106: Pure Dream
"Uncle, uncle! You are from the Land of Fire. You must have heard of the golden flash of Konoha!"
On the way to the treasure spot, Yahiko held an umbrella to protect Konan who was leading the way with a map from the rain, and asked Kizaru curiously beside him.
"Golden glitter! That guy is the genius of Konoha Village. It is said that he is as strong as a monster." Holding an umbrella in his right hand and his left hand in his pocket, Kizaru replied thoughtfully.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Recalling the scene of that battle, Yahiko said excitedly, "We have seen the battle between Golden Flash and Hanzo-sama, he is really powerful."
After saying that, a look of admiration and longing appeared on Yahiko's face, "I must worship Golden Flash as my teacher and follow him to learn ninjutsu so that I can become stronger and change the predicament of the Land of Rain."
"That's it!" Hearing Yahiko's thoughts, Kizaru looked down at him with a smile.
"As far as I know, the Golden Flash has only turned ten this year and should not be accepting disciples."
"What? Ten years old!" Yahiko shouted in surprise, looking straight at Kizaru with unbelievable eyes.
Beside Yahiko, Konan, who was looking at the map, also raised his head in surprise.
Taking his left hand out of his pocket and touching his chin, Kizaru smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, only ten years old!"
"How is it possible that he is only ten years old?" Yahiko looked very confused as he recalled Golden Flash's tall figure during the battle. "Uncle, are you lying to me? Konan and I witnessed the battle between Golden Flash and Hanzo-sama with our own eyes. How could he be only ten years old?"
Hearing that the two of them had seen the battle scene between him and Hanzo, a strange color flashed in Kizaru's eyes.
What a fate!
After sighing in his heart, Kizaru continued: "Compared with age, I think you should worry about another problem."
"What?" Yahiko asked eagerly, looking at Kizaru.
"The ninjas of Konoha will not accept children from other villages as disciples, let alone those from other countries."
Hearing Kizaru's words, Konan looked at Yahiko with a little worry. She was worried that her companion would be hit.
His mood dropped a bit, and Yahiko lowered his head silently.
But soon, Yahiko regained his composure. He raised his right fist, put it on his chest, and said firmly: "I will use my actions and will to impress Golden Flash."
Laughing and shaking his head, Kizaru continued to splash cold water.
"In order to prevent the leakage of ninjutsu and secrets, even if Golden Flash is willing to accept you as a disciple, Konoha Village will not agree. Unless..." At this point, Kizaru paused deliberately.
"Unless what?" Looking at Kizaru, Yahiko asked eagerly and curiously.
"Unless you pass the review of Konoha Village and join Konoha."
"Join Konoha!" Yahiko whispered to himself.
"Yes!" Kizaru affirmed, "But in that case, you will be a ninja of Konoha and cannot return to the Land of Rain to change this place."
Following Kizaru's words, Yahiko's head dropped again.
"Yahiko." Seeing Yahiko become disappointed, Konan softly called out his companion's name with concern.
"But it would be great if you could join Konoha! It's not as chaotic as the Rain Country. The villagers live a stable and prosperous life, and you can also live a happy life."
"No!" Looking up at Kizaru firmly, Yahiko refused in a serious tone.
"Don't you want to live like that?" Kizaru asked pretending to be confused.
"Of course I want to!" Yahiko said yearningly, "But it's not just Xiaonan and I. I hope that through my own efforts, the people of the Land of Rain can live a happy and stable life."
"What a lofty ideal!" Kizaru said with emotion.
"I will work hard to realize it!" Faced with Kizaru's emotion, Yahiko said passionately.
"Let me help you, Yahiko!" Konan, who rarely expresses her opinions, also spoke at this time. She looked at Yahiko tenderly and said in a low voice, but very firmly.
"Xiaonan, let's work hard together!" Facing Xiaonan's support, Yahiko smiled happily and happily.
"When the treasure is found, I will take you to Konoha, the Land of Fire!" Looking down at the two little guys looking at each other and smiling, Kizaru reached out and pressed Yahiko's head, rubbing it encouragingly.
"Hehehe!" Yahiko, who had his head touched, looked at Kizaru with a smile and said sincerely, "Thank you, uncle!"
What an innocent kid!
You Lu, who followed all the way and heard all the conversations between the three of them, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As a tailed beast that has lived for hundreds of years, Matata is well aware of the darkness hidden in this world, and it can already predict that this child's future will be a tragedy.
No, if Kizaru had guided and taken care of them, the tragedy might have been avoided.
Turning his attention to Kizaru, Matata hoped for the first time that he could accept these two children as his disciples.
I am used to seeing crime and evil, but I only like the rare kindness and innocence!
Thinking of this, Matou looked at the two little guys next to Kizaru and smiled like an aunt.
As if sensing something, Kizaru, who was talking to the two little guys, turned sideways and looked at Matori in the distance behind him with a smile.
Spotting Kizaru's gaze, Matata quickly suppressed his smile, restored his elegant and steady posture, and jumped easily to a big tree in front of him.
So cute!
After praising him again in his heart, Kizaru withdrew his gaze and looked at the two little ones next to him again.
"We are almost there. The destination on the treasure map is on the mountain ahead." Konan said, comparing the map.
"You are amazing! Konan!" While praising, Kizaru put his hand on Konan's head.
After gently rubbing it, Kizaru smiled and retracted his left hand under Yahiko's wide-eyed gaze.
Knowing that the destination was just ahead, Yahiko and Konan became excited and talked less. Together with Kizaru, they quickened their pace.
The three of them walked for about two hours and arrived at the destination marked on the treasure map before the sun was about to set.
The destination was in front of a cave halfway up the mountain, and the terrain was relatively flat.
This cave was blasted out by Kizaru using the shadow clone in advance after Konan drew the route.
Standing in front of the cave entrance, Yahiko looked inside curiously, but saw nothing, only the bottomless darkness.
"Shall we go in?" After all, he was still a child, and Konan looked at the dim cave and said a little scared.
"Xiaonan, wait for us at the entrance of the cave! I'll go in with you." Hearing Xiaonan's fear, Yahiko said with concern.
Shaking his head vigorously, Xiaonan looked at Yahiko and said, "I'll go in with you."
"Okay, I'll protect you!" Facing Xiaonan's insistent eyes, Yahiko didn't persuade her much, but patted his chest and promised.
At this time, the rain had stopped, and Kizaru, who didn't have an umbrella, stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of the two little guys.
"Uncle, I'm very powerful! Don't worry!"
As soon as Kizaru's words came out, a red light suddenly burst out in the cave, and a ball of fire flew out of it.
His face changed, Kizaru hugged the two little guys, turned his back to the cave entrance, and rushed to the side and front.
The fireball exploded at the entrance of the cave, blowing down the stone above the entrance, and a huge rock flew forward, just pressing on Kizaru's right leg.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
"Uncle!"
Yahiko and Konan, who struggled out of Kizaru's arms and stood up, asked with concern.
"Ah!" Kizaru cried out in pain with superb acting skills, half turned his body, and reached out to hug his right leg that was pressed down.
The two little guys also hurried forward to help.
"Roar!" A beast roared, and the one-third of the body size of the trip came out of the cave.
"Ah!" Looking at the huge blue flame tiger walking out of the cave, Konan screamed in fear.
Yahiko, who was trying to push the stone, also saw the imposing trip, and anxiety and fear appeared on his face.
"Konan, help!" Yahiko shouted loudly while trying to push the stone.
Hearing Yahiko's reminder, Konan also came back from the panic, his body trembled a little, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to push the stone.
"You guys go! There's no place for me on the new era ship, so let me stay alone!" Kizaru said to the two little guys with a smile while holding his thigh.
"I will never leave you alone, uncle!" Pushing with both hands, Yahiko pushed his head against the stone and shouted loudly.
"Me too!" Xiaonan shouted with a crying voice.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the two children pushing the stone hard, Yata made a gesture of rushing forward at any time, while looking at Kizaru obscurely.
Bastard! Haven't you acted enough?
Noticing Yata's eyes, knowing that if he continued to act, this slightly arrogant cat would explode, Kizaru nodded slightly at her.
