"…………"

Honglei's head tilted, and a big question mark appeared above his head. Didn't Bai just leave as soon as they hooked up?

"what did you just say."

Bai lowered his head, then buried his face in his knees, and said again in a muffled voice, "No, I don't want to go with you."

Hinata was a little panicked. She quickly turned to look at Todoroki, her eyes filled with self-blame. She thought it was her words that made Shiro change her mind.

Todoroki stretched out his hand and rubbed Hinata's head to show her that it was not her fault, and then asked Shiro, "Can you tell me why?"

Bai was silent for a while, and then replied softly, "Because you are not alone..."

Honglei thought about it and understood what Bai meant. What he meant was that Honglei and the others already had their own bonds, and Bai was just an outsider even if he joined now.

This idea is similar to the idea that I'm not my best friend's best friend.

The reason why Shiro was so easily seduced by Zabuza is probably because Zabuza, like him, has always been alone.

Honglei thought for a while, and there was really no solution to this. It seemed that Bai's hope was not to gain recognition from others, but to find a bond that was unique to him.

However, since there was no solution, Honglei did not intend to waste any more time. He waved to the rear and asked Xianglin and the others to come over. "The things have been done. Let's take a rest and then leave the Kingdom of Water and go back."

.”

"Really, we have a new companion." Xianglin smiled and walked over. When she saw Bai's thin appearance, she also took out a piece of snack and handed it to Bai, "

When we meet for the first time, this is a meeting gift. Although it may not be of much value, it is definitely what you need most now."

Bai looked at Xianglin blankly, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, and he didn't answer either.

Hong Lei explained from the side, "To be precise, I failed. This child is not going to go with us."

"Eh!? Won't you come with us?" Xianglin looked at Bai in a daze, then she turned to Honglei and asked, "What about now, shall we leave directly?"

"How is that possible?" Honglei looked at Bai and smiled, and his smile made Bai feel a little frightened.

Honglei looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Who do you think I am, a kind-hearted neighbor's grandfather? No, Iwagakure called me a devil, and Kumogakure called me a devil. I will never achieve my goal.

I will give up."

"So?" Xianglin tilted her head and waited for Honglei's next words.

Todoroki waved towards Koichi, "Tie him up!"

"Yes!" Xing, who was wearing a black suit and black sunglasses and looked like a gangster, immediately responded, and then walked towards Shiro!

Immediately afterwards, he picked up Bai.

Xing understood the importance of this child to Honglei, so naturally she would not really tie up Bai as Honglei said, but Honglei's meaning was accurately conveyed to her ears, that is

Take the other person away by force.

Bai, who was held in Xing's arms, struggled a little before giving up. One was because his body was too weak and he couldn't resist at all. The other was because he also knew that Honglei and the others had no ill intentions towards him, so he didn't give up.

Not willing to release Ice Release to hurt others.

Bai is a very upright and kind-hearted child, so Honglei can safely take him away, because as long as Bai receives Honglei's favor, he will not betray Honglei. This is a sign of gratitude.

reported child.

When Xiang Rin saw Todoroki kidnapping someone, he immediately gave him a thumbs up. Kimimaro was thinking about whether he would have been 'kidnapped' if he had not agreed at that time.

After 'capturing' the 'wild' Shiro, everyone was about to leave after ignoring the villagers who pointed at them, but at this moment, Hinata tugged on Todoroki's clothes and made him fall behind.

"Boom, boom thunder..." Hinata's face was tangled, as if she was worried, "No, let's forget it, it's nothing."

However, the more Hinata hesitated to speak, the more curious Todoroki became.

"You know, you can tell me anything if you want."

"…………"

Hinata was silent for a moment again, and then said slowly, "Was everything I saw at that time true?"

After saying that, Hinata stared at Todoroki unblinkingly with her bright eyes.

that time.

Although Hinata did not specify when, Todoroki Todoroki understood that she was referring to the night two years ago when he took Hinata away from Konoha.

Hinata is a very smart child who is good at thinking. Todoroki doesn't know whether she made the association because of the words she just said she would never give up until she reaches her goal, or whether she had this idea before but has been keeping it in her heart.

However, since she asked, Todoroki planned to answer. Hinata didn't like lying, and Todoroki had decided not to lie to people who really cared about him.

He looked into Hinata's eyes and said softly, "Do you want to know? If you want to know, I will tell you everything I did from beginning to end."

"…………"

Hinata pursed her lips. It seemed that Todoroki didn't say anything, but in fact, he had almost said it. That is to say, he really did something. Otherwise, Todoroki would directly answer that he didn't.

"Then what am I to you? A tool to achieve your goals?"

Xiang Rin and the others looked back at Todoroki and Hinata who had stopped. Todoroki waved his hand to signal them to wait a moment, and then he squatted down so that he and Hinata were eye level, "Hinata, we have been getting along for a while.

It's been two years, do you really think I just use you as a tool?"

Hinata pursed her lips and shook her head gently twice, then Honglei grabbed her hand, "To me, you are my most irreplaceable family member. I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I don't have any relatives.

When I was seven years old, I went to the battlefield again, and the comrades around me changed batch after batch. To be honest, in my life, I have never spent more time with anyone than I spent with you. You are in my life.

It occupies a very important position in my life, so I don’t want to lie to you. As long as you want to know, I will tell you everything.”

Hinata lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, but after another moment of silence, she took a step forward, opened her arms to hug Todoroki, and buried her face in his shoulder, "No, I
