Chapter 201 White
Chapter 201 White
"How desolate!"
This was Uchiha Yo's first impression upon arriving in this town.
However, it seems that this was indeed the case in the Land of Water at that time. "There was nothing anyone could do; no one expected that the Fourth Mizukage would be controlled by someone else."
However, Obito probably doesn't have time to continue controlling it now, so the situation might get better later.
"Let's go, Kimimaro," she called out, turning her head.
"Hmm, what are you looking at?" Uchiha Ye followed his gaze and saw a child fighting with a dog for food.
"If you want to help him, then go for it. Follow your heart," Uchiha Ye said, patting him on the shoulder.
"I have no food." Kimimaro lowered his head.
"Uh... I'll give it to you right away." Uchiha Ye paused for a moment, then prepared to take out a scroll and retrieve a portion of food.
A dirty child chased after the dog.
The puppy, carrying food, avoided Uchiha Ha, while the child bumped straight into her.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." The child immediately squatted down, curled up, and trembled.
"Kimimaro, do I look scary?" she asked in confusion, squatting down and helping the child in front of her up.
"I'm fine, you don't need to be so scared."
"You must be very hungry, here you go!" Uchiha Ye took out a steamed egg custard and handed it over.
This child is so thin and weak, this is just right for him.
The child slowly raised his head upon hearing such a gentle voice, and couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw what 'he' was holding.
"Do you need me to feed you?" Looking into those clear eyes, her voice became even softer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Uchiha Ye took it upon himself to pick up a spoon, scoop up a spoonful, and feed him.
At that moment, Bai felt as if she were experiencing the same warmth as her mother.
The bowl of steamed egg custard was quickly emptied, but Bai was still a little unsatisfied.
"Heh...you're severely malnourished right now, you can't eat too much at once." She chuckled and explained to the child in front of her.
After packing her things, Uchiha Ye prepared to leave with Kimimaro. She didn't forget the child in front of her, and holding a wad of money in her hand, she said to him, "Your choice is to come with me or leave with this money."
Without thinking, Bai blurted out, "I want to go with you."
Uchiha Ye seemed unsurprised by the result; he pocketed the money and decided to use it to find Kimimaro a companion.
"From now on, call me Brother Li."
"By the way, do you have a name?" Uchiha Ye asked as he led the two of them.
My name is Bai!
"White, that sounds nice."
“Wait, he said his name was Bai?” She stopped and looked him up and down. “He was all dirty, no wonder she didn’t recognize him.”
"Brother Li, are you planning to abandon me?" Bai asked very sensitively.
"No, I'll show you a magic trick." Uchiha Ye smiled and cast a 'cleaning jutsu' on him, instantly turning the dirty child into a clean one.
Bai was completely dumbfounded.
"Alright, you can go now."
"It'll be too late, the clothing stores will all be closed." Looking at that androgynous little face, Uchiha Ye nodded in satisfaction.
We arrived at the largest clothing store in town.
"Pick whatever clothes you like, money's no object, go on!" Uchiha Ye said, then sat down on the sofa and dozed off. "Walking for so long, it's tiring."
After a while, she opened her eyes and walked to their side. "It's taken you so long to choose a set?"
"It seems we still have to have her take action."
Uchiha Ye looked through the rows, picked out the ones she didn't want, and tossed them to the landlady, making the landlady beam with joy.
"Brother Li, this is too much," Bai tried to stop them.
Kimimaro pouted, but ultimately remained reserved and shy, and did not speak.
After browsing around, Uchiha Yeboye said to the shopkeeper, "I don't want any of these..." She paused for a moment, then continued, "Wrap up the rest for me."
The proprietress's displeasure hadn't even surfaced on her face a second ago, but she froze for a second, and then her smile returned in no time.
This kind of reversal is really exciting.
Shiro and Kimimaro were completely dumbfounded. "Can things really be bought like this?"
Uchiha Ye loved their ignorant expressions; they were just too amusing.
After leaving the clothing store, the next stop was naturally the hot spring inn.
She booked a private hot spring suite, and when they arrived at the hot spring, she simply threw the two of them in.
"Wake me up after you've soaked it, but don't wait more than an hour. I'm going to take a nap first."
Uchiha Ye made three beds in the room, chose one against the wall, and fell asleep shortly after lying down.
Outside the room, the two children were soaking in the hot spring, staring at each other without saying a word.
“I look older than you, you can call me brother.” Kimimaro broke the silence first, his tone clearly mimicking Uchiha Yoru.
"No, I have Li-gege, that's enough for me," Bai immediately refused.
The two fell silent again, and did not utter a single word until the time was up.
Back in their room, none of them could bear to wake Uchiha Yoru, and what followed was a struggle for the mattress next to 'Brother Yoru'.
In the end, Kimimaro was the first to lie down. Kimimaro glanced at him and then lay down on the last mattress that no one had chosen.
At this moment, Kimimaro felt quite regretful. He shouldn't have shown that kindness. Thinking about it, he fell asleep.
This was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had since he was born.
"Kimimaro, it's already midday, do you know why your brother hasn't woken up yet?" Bai knelt down beside him and turned to ask Kimimaro.
"I don't know!" Kimimaro shook his head.
Uchiha Ye seemed to hear some noise, opened his eyes, and yawned.
"You two got up so early. Use this money to buy yourself something to eat. I'm going to sleep a little longer."
Uchiha Ye snapped out of his daze, gave a brief explanation, and then went back to sleep, leaving the two of them staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Why can people sleep for so long?" This question slowly surfaced in Kimimaro's mind.
As dusk approached, Uchiha Yoh finally woke up. "That was a really good night's sleep," she said, sitting up and stretching her arms out.
She noticed the two people beside her, and Uchiha Ye felt a bad premonition. "Why are you still sitting here? Don't tell me you've been kneeling like this all day waiting for me to wake up."
The silence between the two men made her feel guilty.
She could have chosen not to eat, but the two of them were different; they were still growing and ended up going hungry with her for a whole day.
"Sorry, it won't happen again."
"Let's go out for dinner!" Uchiha Ye patted their heads, his tone full of apology.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, she touched her now-empty wallet and led them directly to the casino.
Before going in, she instructed, "You can look, but don't imitate, understand?"
"Okay, Brother Li," Bai replied obediently.
She looked at Kimimaro, and only after he nodded did she step inside.
