Konoha's strongest bug

Chapter 56 I'm Actually Your Father...

The one Sarutobi Hiruzen calls "the cunning little guy" is naturally Yume Shidaka.

After sending the scroll, he came to the Hokage Rock, overlooking the entire Konoha Village.

After an unknown amount of time, a trembling voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"You...you are...Master Zhigao?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this voice, Yume Zhigao turned around and saw a young ninja with a scar on his face looking at him in shock.

Behind the young ninja stood a blond boy wearing goggles.

It was Iruka and Naruto.

After recognizing the two, Younv Zhigao immediately smiled.

"It's Iruka, long time no see, have you become Konoha's ninja? How time flies!"

"Master Zhigao, you actually know me?"

When Iruka heard Yume Zhigao call out his name, he became excited instantly, and then nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, yeah, it's been 11 years, we always thought that Mr. Zhigao, you already..."

"Iruka-sensei!" Before Iruka could finish speaking, Naruto standing behind him pointed at Yume Shidaka and asked, "Who is this person?"

"He is Yume Shidaka-sama, a fellow of the fourth Hokage-sama, and Konoha's hero!"

Iruka told Naruto about the deeds of Yume Shidaka with a full face of admiration.

"Master Zhigao once independently suppressed Kyuubi during the Kyuubi Rebellion, until the fourth generation sealed it, and later defeated Yunyin Village and Wuyin Village successively, so that they did not dare to step into Konoha, and in 11 years forward……"

"Hehe, it's alright Iruka!"

Younv Zhigao interrupted him with a smile, and at the same time waved his hand lightly.

"Don't mention the past, it's just what our generation should do, and it's not worth showing off to the younger generation."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Naruto, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Naruto, I'm sorry I just appeared in front of you now, but I'm actually your father..."

"Father!" Naruto rushed forward, hugged Younu Zhigao, tears streaming down his face.

Living in Konoha for so many years, Naruto has seen all kinds of eyes.

The eyes of cold hatred and disgust from the villagers, the serious and caring eyes of the third Hokage and Iruka, and the ridicule and contempt of the classmates.

But there is no gaze like Younv Zhigao.

Tenderness, distress, guilt, joy... It's like a father looking at his son he hasn't seen for many years.

So Naruto was touched instantly, and he yelled "Dad" without jerky.

But Younv Zhigao was a little dumbfounded.

"Although it's okay for you to call me that, but your real father may not be very happy. In fact, I am your father's friend, so you can call me uncle!"

"Uh……"

Naruto, who had a big oolong, blushed immediately, let go of Shigao and was about to run back, but was pulled back by Iruka's collar.

"Where are you going? Wipe off the paint on the Hokage statue before you go!"

Younv Zhigao also laughed.

"Haha, what Iruka said is right, a man must be brave enough to bear his mistakes, and the one who runs away is a coward, Naruto!"

"Hmph, I won't run away!"

Naruto snorted softly, then picked up the rag and bucket, and reluctantly began to clean up the graffiti on the Hokage statue.

Seeing his slow look, Iruka reprimanded again: "Wipe it quickly, I won't let you go back until it's clean!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, there is no one when I go home, hum!"

"..."

Perhaps touched by Naruto's words, Iruka was silent for a while before speaking again: "Hey... Naruto."

Naruto raised his head in displeasure, "What's wrong this time?"

"Well...how should I put it..."

Iruka seemed a little restrained, he stretched out his fingers and scratched his face.

"After you clean those up, I'll treat you to ramen tonight!"

"what?"

Hearing this, the dissatisfaction on Naruto's face before was instantly swept away, and he instantly became more energetic!
"Great, I...I will work hard!"

As he said that, he began to wipe the paint graffiti on the Hokage statue vigorously, and the efficiency was many times faster than at the beginning.

Seeing this scene, Younv Zhigao couldn't help smiling again.

"Iruka, Naruto has been taken care of by you all these years, and I thank you on behalf of his parents."

Iruka waved his hand quickly.

"No, no, no... Master Zhigao, please don't say that. As Naruto's teacher, these are all things I should do, but why are you..."

Having said that, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly stopped talking and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhigao, I asked a question that shouldn't be asked. You must have carried out a very important task to protect Konoha!"

"Yeah!" Yume Zhigao nodded with a smile, "It can be said that it is not convenient for me to say the specifics now, but there will always be a theory from the third generation."

"I understand!" Iruka assured with a serious face: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhigao, I will not reveal your whereabouts."

Younv Zhigao waved her hand: "It doesn't matter. When I came in from the village, many people should have seen me."

"Oh, I see……"

……

Yume Zhigao and Iruka were chatting on the top of the Hokage Rock, while Naruto was trying to rub the Hokage statue below.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually dimmed.

Naruto, who had been busy for several hours, finally cleaned up all the graffiti on the Hokage statues.

Putting down the rag and bucket in his hand, he ran up to Iruka with an excited expression on his face.

"Iruka-sensei, I've cleaned everything up, can we go eat ramen?"

Iruka nodded, and then looked at the oily girl Zhigao beside him: "Master Zhigao hasn't eaten anything, why don't you come with us!"

"Hehe, I won't go!"

The oil girl smiled and waved her hands, then reached out and rubbed Naruto's little head.

"Take Naruto there. I haven't been back for so many years. I plan to visit my old friend first. Is there a flower shop selling white chrysanthemums nearby?"

"Uh... yes!"

Iruka froze for a moment, then pointed in one direction.

"There are white chrysanthemums in the mountain flower shop over there, it should not be closed yet!"

"Well, I see, thank you!"

Younv Zhigao thanked her, then used the instant body technique, and disappeared in place with a "shua".

After he left, Naruto looked at Iruka with some doubts.

"Teacher, why does Uncle Zhigao buy white chrysanthemums when he visits his friends? Shouldn't he be buying fruits and snacks?"

"..."

Iruka's expression was a little heavy, and after a long silence, he opened his mouth to Naruto.

"Master Zhigao's friends are all seniors who have experienced the second and third Ninja World Wars. Most of them died, and their names were engraved on the memorial monument. Therefore, if you visit them, you have to buy white chrysanthemums."

"Does that include my parents too?"

Naruto suddenly became a little annoyed.

"Uncle Zhigao is my father's friend. I actually forgot to ask him who my parents are just now. I must ask him clearly when we meet next time."

Iruka showed a smirk: "As long as Naruto, you don't misrecognize your father!"

"Iruka-sensei, you are too much!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I want to eat ten bowls of ramen today!"

"what?"
