Chapter 208: Flag Raising Before the Battle
After a conversation, Hong left Copper Fire and Iron Fire at home, and the four of them had a meal together. It was also the first reunion of four classmates after many years.
After the meal, Tonghuo Zhiqu took Tiehuo away.
"Goodbye, brother and sister-in-law."
After the two brothers left, the home became the world of Che and Hong.
Although this is not the first time the two have faced separation, they still cannot escape the sadness.
Che and Hong finished clearing the table and chairs in silence, then sat on the sofa and leaned against each other.
"Don't move, let me lean in for a while."
Hong's cute big red eyes were filled with tears, and she leaned on Che and enjoyed the last tenderness before parting.
Che's heart was extremely touched, and he tilted his upper body so that Hong could lean more comfortably. At the same time, he had many thoughts in his mind.
During the years of living in this world, except for the life with his parents outside the village during his childhood, the life with Hong was the most soothing.
In Che's view, Hong is just a little girl, but such a little girl gives him a sense of belonging, preventing him from feeling like a person outside the world.
For a moment, Che's throat rolled and he blurted out: "After this war, let's get married."
Perhaps Che blurted out this sentence because he didn't know the horror of a thing called flag.
But even if he knew it, Che would choose to say it because with his strength he was not afraid of the so-called poisonous milk, and because his feelings at this time were extremely hot and he had to say this.
"Get...married?!"
"Isn't it a bit... too early..."
You know, Hong has never been a coy character, but now her cheeks are flushed, and her skin is as red as a cloud.
Che turned sideways, hugged Hong's shoulders, put his forehead against Hong's slightly curly black hair, and asked softly in her ear: "What, don't you want to?"
"That's not true, it's mainly because I'm not old enough..."
Che understood Hong's thoughts, so he explained: "We are already fifteen. When the war is over, we will naturally reach the right age."
"Although this war will not cause a great ninja war, it will not end soon. Three years will probably be needed."
"Although I really don't want to be separated from you, I have no choice but to do so."
"It is said that a long separation is better than a new marriage. Since separation is inevitable, then we will get married when we meet again."
"I already can't wait..."
At this time, the fifteen-year-old Hong has already grown into a beautiful woman, and the places that should be developed have already developed, like a delicate and beautiful rose, pure and gorgeous.
Che's breathing became a little rapid as a result, and he greedily breathed in the faint fragrance emanating from Hong's body.
The breath produced by the breath teased Hong's fair and slender neck, making Hong feel shy, but she couldn't break free from Che's arms.
"I promise you... Che..."
"First...you first let go...it's so itchy..."
Che let go of his hand with a smile, exhaled a breath, and his eyes became clear again, "Okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Che's words were so joking that Hongfenquan lightly beat him and said in shame and anger: "Really, who did you learn these words from?"
Che spread his hands and said decisively: "I learned it from the little pornographic book that Kakashi reads every day."
"Hmph, I didn't expect a genius like Kakashi to read that kind of book. You can't read it in the future, lest you be taught bad things."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
This playful banter and the expectation of future marriage successfully diluted Hong's worries about Che's upcoming war.
The two spent the last night before the war peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, Che gathered at the Hokage Building and rushed to the northeastern border of the Land of Fire with five hundred other Konoha ninjas.
When the last ninja world war just started, Che immediately rushed to the northeast of the Land of Fire to resist Kumogakure's invasion.
At that time, Che was just an ordinary member of the army, at best a fledgling ninja rookie.
But now, only a few short years have passed, and Che is still heading to the northeast of the Country of Fire, but his identity is still completely different. He is the commander-in-chief of the entire army this time.
This change in identity is essentially an increase in Che's strength and reputation.
In the past, those who could lead an army alone were often strong men of the Sannin level.
Now, the reputation of Che's white-haired magic eye is not inferior to that of the three ninjas, and its strength is even greater than that of the three ninjas.
What's even more frightening is that Che is still only fourteen or fifteen years old.
It's no wonder that Konoha's top advisors, headed by Danzo, view Che as a huge threat.
"Brother Che, how long do you estimate this war will take?"
As Che's right-hand men in the Uchiha clan, Copper Fire and Iron Fire followed Che. At this time, it was Copper Fire who asked.
"About two or three years, what's wrong?"
Tonghuo nodded, then blushed inexplicably as if he thought of something, "Nothing...".
Che had never seen Tonghuo, who was always a shrewd and philistine, show such a simple and shy expression.
Tie Huo was very upright at this time and took down his brother's stage.
"My brother has been having a lot of contact with Uncle Teyaki's daughter during this period. Hey, it seems I'm going to have a second sister-in-law."
Tie Huo said with an honest smile, but was slapped on the head by Tong Huo's ruthless big hand.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't even figured out your horoscope yet."
"Oh? What's going on? I also like the pancakes from Uncle Shou Shao's house. When did you meet his daughter? Are you interested in her?"
Che smiled and looked at Tonghuo beside him.
Tonghuo didn't dare to treat Che's question like a silly brother, so he could only answer obediently.
"I just think she is very cute. Although her eyes are small, she looks very beautiful when she smiles. I want to confess to her after the war."
"I don't know if she will agree..."
Tonghuo was entangled as he spoke. Che sighed that it was indeed difficult for a hero to resist the temptation of beauty. A smart person like Tonghuo would also fall into the distress of love.
"Haha, I think so." Che patted Tonghuo's shoulder and said, "We Uchiha clan, regardless of gender, age or young, admire the strong."
"Tonghuo, you two brothers are stronger than many ninjas in the clan or even in the village. You have become jonin at a young age. Just for this reason, the daughter of Uncle Tesho will not reject you."
Tonghuo also felt a little confident when he heard this. Indeed, if compared with Che, his two brothers are nothing, but if compared with others, Tonghuo is still confident.
Now, in addition to the clan leader and Che, the Uchiha clan can now be Tonghuo and Tiehuo. Even some of the old jonin in the clan are only on par with these two, at most tied.
Although Shisui and Itachi are gifted, at least they are still too young at present, and are still inferior to these two.
"Well, then I'm relieved. I'll confess after the war is over."
