Death's Dimensional Journey

"...Mikoto, should I say you are kind, or naive?" Mikoto's words made Xiaonan frown, "If you train like you, you will never get better."

"You know, Mikoto, this world is far more cruel than you think." His eyes turned cold, Xiao Nan then explained this to Mikoto, and then controlled several refolded paper shuriken to attack Mikoto.

As for Mikoto, she was so frightened by Xiao Nan's eyes at this time that she forgot to avoid it for a while.

"Why don't you hide?! Oops!..." And Mikoto's refusal to dodge also made Xiaonan's heart sink.After all, if she controlled the paper shuriken to slash towards Mikoto like this, she would definitely be injured.Then he hurriedly waved a pair of small hands at the moment, and when Xiaonan looked solemn, he forcibly changed the trajectory and direction of the paper shuriken.

"Hey..." Several paper shuriken flew diagonally against Mikoto's body, and the sharp edges cut off a few strands of Mikoto's hair, which fluttered away in the breeze.

"The coldness at that moment just now... What have you experienced? Xiao Nan..." The sound of breaking through the air as the paper shuriken flew past his ears has faded away.Looking at Xiao Nan with complicated eyes, Mikoto pursed her lips and muttered to herself in a low voice.

"Mikoto, Xiaonan, she has experienced war..." At this time, Ichigo's voice suddenly sounded from behind Mikoto, and Mikoto felt a warm palm pressing lightly on her head.

"Experienced... war?" Turning around to look at Ichigo, Mikoto looked slightly stunned, and muttered in a low voice.

"That's right." Facing Mikoto's gaze, Ichigo nodded lightly, "This ninja world has just experienced the second ninja war, Mikoto, you should know? It's just that she is in a relatively safe wood. Ye Cunzhong is also a descendant of the big family Uchiha clan, you must have never seen the real cruelty on the battlefield, Mikoto, right?"

"And, Xiaonan, she was brought back to Konoha by me from Yuren Village. She is an orphan of the war." The voice stopped first, then Ichigo added.

"Brother Ichigo, I..." Ichigo's words were indeed correct.Although he has just experienced the Second Ninja World War, in the Konoha Village, where many heroes are born, there is very little chance of encountering danger.Moreover, being in the Uchiha family is even more so, and will definitely not be affected by the war.Therefore, even though the Second Ninja World War had just passed, Mikoto's life was not affected in the slightest by it.This is very different from Xiaonan.Therefore, the character Mikoto possesses at this moment is completely different from that of Xiao Nan.Because of this, hearing Ichigo say this, Mikoto hesitated and looked complicated.Because Mikoto couldn't understand what war was.However, the word "orphan" deeply touched Mikoto's heart.Mikoto could roughly imagine how a girl of Xiao Nan's age would feel when she lost her parents during the war and was alone.

"Okay, Mikoto, I'm not telling you this because I don't want to compare you with Xiaonan. I just want you to know more about Xiaonan." Looking at Mikoto's complicated expression at this moment, Ichigo grinned. He smiled, "Otherwise, if the two do not understand each other, they will never be able to help each other, promote each other and grow."  …

Chapter [-] Mute

"I see, Ichigo-brother, I think I've understood something." Ichigo's words made Mikoto ponder for a while, and then she looked at Xiaonan while nodding lightly, "Then, in the future Please take care of me, Xiaonan. I will definitely be serious when I practice next time."

"...Well, take care..." From Mikoto's eyes, Xiao Nan actually read a different taste from before.This kind of eyes that resonated in Xiaonan's heart, as if Mikoto and Xiaonan really had a common experience, made Xiaonan first stunned, and then raised her hand to Mikoto, and said hello.

Xiao Nan's behavior made Mikoto pursed her tender lips into a cute smile, then raised Bai Nen's little hand and held Xiao Nan's outstretched left hand together.

"Xiao Nan and Mikoto, I think the two of you will definitely become good friends in the future." After getting to know each other initially, Xiao Nan and Mikoto did it.This made Ichigo involuntarily speak while grinning.

……

a few days later.

The season is gradually entering into late autumn, and the weather is slowly turning colder.A girl was sitting quietly on a wooden bridge beside the lake, where the waves were calm and occasionally a few wisps of breeze blew through the rippling water.He has dark and soft hair, and at the age of about ten years, he has eyes that seem to have been experienced after the ups and downs of major events.The liveliness and innocence that this age group should have is no longer, replaced by the sadness revealed in a pair of black and shining beautiful big eyes.The petite figure is slightly thin, the girl just curled her legs and hugged her knees and sat on the wooden bridge, lowered her head slightly and rested her chin on her knees, silent.

As if she had lost all her relatives, even if the girl was sitting here alone, there was no one to take care of her and take care of her.As for this fact, the girl silently accepted it as if she had already realized it.

However, the next moment, the girl's expression was startled, and the eyes that were originally still like stagnant water began to flash, and her body was suddenly covered with a coat, which brought enough to her who was suffering from cold. of warmth.

Raising her head, the next second, the girl saw a face with a gentle smile.

"Are you alone?" It was Ichigo who came. At this time, after putting on a coat for the girl, in order to find a topic, he asked her.

And the girl just stared at Ichigo for a moment while her eyes flickered. After a long time, she nodded silently, and at the same time, she subconsciously raised her hand and tightened the jacket that was put on by Ichigo, so that she could wrap herself. Tighter, so that I can feel the warmth that Ichigo brought to her more truly.

"It looks like that guy Kato Dan died suddenly, didn't he arrange for her niece?" He raised his hand and stroked the girl's head, and when Ichigo sat next to the girl, he felt low in his heart. muttered to himself.Because, at the first sight of this girl, Ichigo knew her name, Kato Mute, Kato Dan's niece.And looking at Mute's appearance at this time, you can know that Kato Dan did not settle her well before she died.However, this is normal. The battlefield is always full of variables, and Kato's sudden death was such that he didn't even have the time or opportunity to explain his funeral. That was a normal thing.

"Gu..." At this moment, a slightly indecent whisper suddenly sounded.Seeing Mute's face that turned a little red at the moment, Ichigo immediately understood, and while grinning lightly, Ichigo asked Mute, "What, are you hungry?"

"En..." Mute nodded lightly, and finally the tender lips were slightly differentiated, and responded to Ichigo in a low voice.It was the first time that I heard the silent voice so clearly, and Ichigo couldn't help but stunned for a moment. It was an unexpectedly pleasant voice.

At the same time, Ichigo also stepped away from the spot without warning.

"...Did you just leave like this?" Ichigo's sudden departure caused Mute to panic for a moment, and when the divine light in his eyes dimmed, Mute murmured with a sad expression, " Sure enough, am I the only one left in the end?"

However, after a while, Ichigo's voice rang again, accompanied by the smell of the food and then drifted to silence, which she smelled.

"What? Aren't you hungry? Then eat quickly." Ichigo's tone softened, and his expression was extremely gentle.

"Give it to me?" His eyes regained his radiance, and Mute asked aloud while looking at Ichigo with a stunned expression.

"Of course, otherwise why would I bring a meal here specially?" Smiling, he looked at Mute and responded, and Ichigo then started to stuff the box containing the meal into Mute.

Raising his hand to hold the steel spoon, Mute silently looked at the box in his arms, Ichigo on the side could clearly see that Mute's little hand was shaking at this time.After a moment of silence, Mute suddenly moved, picked up the spoon and began to eat without hesitation.This also proves that Mute at this moment completely let go of his guard and completely accepted Ichigo.

"Cough cough!..." Maybe he was in a hurry to eat.Before long, Mute began to cough rapidly, apparently choking.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, if it's not enough, there is still more." He sat next to Mute again.Seeing her crooked body and coughing, Ichigo shook his head helplessly and said hello, and caressed Mute's back with a loving hand, so that she could feel better and slow down. Come on.

But then, Ichigo's expression was startled, and at this moment, two clear tears flowed slowly along the silent cheek.Looking at Mute's slightly reddish eyes, Ichigo instinctively felt uncomfortable.Because, obviously, the mute at this point is crying.

However, Ichigo is someone who has experienced such a scene, and at this time, he is no longer at a loss as he used to be.Listening to the low sobbing sound coming from Mute at this time, Ichigo was silent, just raised his hand and stroked Mute's smooth hair for comfort.

And it seems that because of Ichigo's actions, Mute suddenly raised his arms, and then threw himself into Ichigo's arms.

"Clang clang..." The sound of the lunch box falling to the ground sounded immediately, but the silence seemed unaware, just hugged Ichigo tightly and didn't want to let go.

"Ichigo, what are you doing in a place like this?" The next moment, Tsunade's voice suddenly sounded from the side, accompanied by the sound of footsteps entering Ichigo's ears from far to near. ..

Chapter [-] Tsunade's Decision

"Ichigo, who is she?..." As he got closer, seeing the mute fluttering in Ichigo's arms, Tsunade couldn't help asking Ichigo when his expression was stunned.

"Introduce yourself." Facing Tsunade's question, Ichigo did not answer directly, but said warmly when he gently shook the mute in his arms.

"Well, my name is Mute..." He raised the back of his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.Because of Tsunade's presence, Mute no longer cried as much as she did when she was alone with Ichigo.It was enough to vent, so when Mute stabilized his emotions, he looked at Tsunade Nensheng and introduced himself.

"As you can see, Tsunade." After Mute introduced himself, Ichigo stood up and pulled Mute up by the way, "She's called Mute, and I don't know the rest. Because I just met her."

"Mute?..." Ichigo's words made Tsunade understand a little bit. Ichigo and Mute must have met on this bridge by accident.Tsunade was not very clear on why things turned into Silent leaning over Ichigo's arms and crying.However, when looking at Mute, Tsunade for some reason had an inexplicable urge to adopt her.Then, when his eyes flickered slightly to look at Mute, Tsunade's cherry lips differentiated, and he murmured the name of Mute.

"Mute, so you're here? I've been looking for it for a long time." At this moment, along with a female voice, a middle-aged woman trotted to Ichigo, looked at Mute and said with a smile, "Come on, follow me back to the orphanage."

"No, I'm not going back." The middle-aged woman made such a request, making Mute in a low voice when she instinctively shook her head, and at the same time stepped back and hid behind Ichigo.
