Civilian Naruto: Invincible from the Eight Gates

Naruto Uzumaki closed his mouth.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Sasuke spoke.

"Brother Musashi."

"What's wrong?"

Uchiha Sasuke hesitated for a moment and said, "I performed very poorly when facing the enemy just now."

"My body can't move."

"Could it be that I..."

"Okay." Suzumiya Musashi patted Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder and interrupted him, saying, "Don't feel ashamed."

"It is normal for the human body to be out of control when facing a powerful threat."

"Don't doubt yourself because of this." "Ninjas are professions that constantly encounter powerful enemies. It's normal to feel physical fear, as long as you can deal with it better next time."

"You performed very well just now."

"But Naruto clearly... "Uchiha Sasuke hesitated.

Suzumiya Musashi smiled and said, "Naruto is different from you."

"He is more rough. He doesn't have your obvious sense of danger."

These are comforting words. In fact, the Nine-Tails also secretly influenced .

Uchiha Sasuke finally stopped struggling, but his desire for power grew stronger and stronger.

As time went by, more and more ninjas gathered, and Konoha's masters began to appear. Suzumiya Musashi finally left to report what he had encountered.

However, the information did not cause much waves, and the top leaders did not publicize it. Uzumaki Naruto and his companions did not lose their qualification for the exam, so the exam continued.

--

After the second round, Suzumiya Musashi was finally able to go home and rest.

At the table, while eating the sumptuous dinner prepared by Ayame, he looked at the quiet Bai and suddenly I remembered that I hadn't seen Ohki for a few days.

"Bai, have you seen Ohki recently?"

"Ah?" Bai said unexpectedly, and the chopsticks in his hand trembled.

Suzumiya Musashi said: "I haven't seen him for a few days. I saw him."

"I... I don't know either..." Bai lowered his head and buried his face in the bowl.

"What is this guy doing?" Suzumiya Musashi muttered.

After dinner, he didn't rush to make out with Ayame, but went out to Nojiri Oki's residence.

I usually come here for free meals, but I'm not used to it after not seeing her for many days.

Arrived at the destination.

Pushed open the half-open door .

What caught his eye was the manuscript paper scattered all over the floor.

Suzumiya Musashi walked into the room in confusion, and soon saw a dishevelled figure in front of the drawing board.

"Damu?" He called out tentatively.

The figure froze slightly, and then continued to lower his head. The brush rubbed against the drawing paper, making a rustling sound.

Suzumiya Musashi frowned slightly.

He walked forward slowly, and the manuscripts on the ground made it almost impossible for him to stand.

All the manuscripts on the ground were filled with young ladies of all shapes and sizes. Plump, slender, mature, cute... The same thing is that every drawing only shows the upper body.

Walking in front of Nojiri Oki, Suzumiya Musashi was about to speak when he was shocked by the other person's appearance.

"F*ck!"

"Oki, what's wrong with you?!"

At this time, Nojiri Oki's hair was messy. His clothes were stained with paint.

His face looked like it hadn’t been washed for a month, his eyes were slightly sunken, and his dark circles were like a panda’s.

Nojiri Oki raised his head.

His almost lifeless eyes glanced at Suzumiya Musashi in front of him.

“You’re here. ”

“I’m here.”

“You shouldn’t have come.”

“…Are you sick?”

Nojiri Oki: “Suzumiya Musashi, we’re done.”

The voice was hoarse and calm, without any emotion.

Suzumiya Musashi: “…Oki , Don't scare me, what happened?"

Nojiri Oki stared at Suzumiya Musashi quietly.

Just when the latter was getting nervous, he finally spoke.

"My youth is dead."

"That day, in the back mountain of Konoha."

Suzumiya Musashi had a bad feeling.

"Musashi, our friendship is over too."

"No, why..."

Nojiri Oki interrupted Suzumiya Musashi.

"I kissed Bai."

"..."

Silence.

Silence is Konoha tonight.

Suzumiya Musashi has many questions in his mind.

When did it happen?

Why?

Why did they kiss? ?

He only remembered that on the first day when Bai came home, he did not tell the other party Bai's gender.

But this development was too unexpected!

However, looking at Nojiri Oki's current state, it was obviously not good to ask again.

"Oki, I'm sorry . "He apologized sincerely.

No matter what

, it was because I didn't make it clear at the first time.

"What's the point of saying sorry now." Nojiri Oki said angrily.

"Musashi, I'm useless."

"I can't even use the paintbrush."

"Whenever I draw the little sister's **, I can't draw it anymore."

"There is always a *&￥@@ in my mind"

"The more I draw, the more they appear."

"One by one... like a group of mushroom spirits rushing towards me..."

"Stop!" Suzumiya Musashi couldn't stand it anymore and stretched out his hand to interrupt the other party's shocking description.

"Oki! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

"It's all my fault."

"Tell me, how can you forgive me?"

Nojiri Oki looked at him quietly.

"I will never forgive."

"Oki, no!"

Suzumiya Musashi really regretted it.

He didn't expect that his little willfulness at the beginning would cause such great psychological harm to Oki.

He said in a panic: "Oki! We are brothers!"

"Have you forgotten the time when we fled together? Have you forgotten the happiness of sharing half a cake together? The wild vegetables we dug together in the morning, the cicadas we slept together at night, have you really forgotten everything?"

"That is our bond! Bakayalarrrrrrrrrrrr!~"

Nojiri Oki looked at him, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye. "It's been too long... I... have forgotten..."

Suzumiya Musashi: "..."

Suzumiya Musashi, who originally wanted to have a good rest with Ayame, could not, and could only accompany Nojiri Oki, who was almost mentally collapsed.

After midnight consolation, after paying for several new ideas such as "The Story of the Dark Light Guard of the Land of Clouds and Rain", "The Secret Record of the Bedroom of the Lady of the Daimyo", "The Daimyo Knows Nothing", and the promise of "I will take you out to find many young ladies after this busy period", Nojiri Oki barely got better.

Agree to see his performance.

Seeing the haggard Nojiri Oki who couldn't sleep peacefully, Suzumiya Musashi couldn't bear it. He coaxed him to sleep with a knife and then returned home.

"Why did you go out for so long?" After entering the door carefully, Iris said.

"Sister, are you still awake?"

"Waiting for you."

Suzumiya Musashi felt soft in his heart.

He packed himself up and hugged Iris.

"Sister, you are so nice. Don't wait so late next time."

"You haven't said it yet, why is it so late?"

Suzumiya Musashi said: "Nothing, Oki is not in a good mood."

"His love took some detours, it's all right now."

"Oh~" Iris was relieved to hear that it was not about the mission.

In Suzumiya Musashi's warm embrace, he fell asleep quickly...
