Konoha's Barrier Master

"Welcome to Konoha, Makoto Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki."

At dusk, the sun's flames turn into a fiery orange-red color. Endless rays of light shoot from the distant sky and onto the vast land, dyeing everything on the ground orange-red, just like gods casting fire in the sky to burn all living things.

In Konoha Village, the Country of Fire, under the last rays of the sun of the day, the Hokage Building under the Hokage Rock in the innermost part of the village has become more vivid and fiery red. The bright light shines through the windows into the Hokage's office on the top floor, along with the inside The person in question also squinted his eyes slightly.

The sunlight shines into the Hokage's office through the bright glass, pulling the shadows of everyone in the room onto the wall. Standing behind the desk is a middle-aged man wearing a white Hokage robe and hat, with a gentle smile on his face. The man is the leader of Konoha Village at this time, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time, the Third Hokage was receiving guests from afar.

In front of him, two red-haired boys and girls stood together. The boy stood in front with a calm expression, while the girl held the boy's clothes and stood behind nervously.

"Hello, Hokage-sama."

The boy, Uzumaki Makoto, faced the friendly greetings of the Third Hokage, his expression remained as usual without much change, he smiled and greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen in a gentle voice.

The young man has a gentle smile, and his handsome facial features on his fair and clean face are like gems inlaid in a crown. Whether taken individually or together, they are handsome enough. Coupled with his gentle smile, he looks handsome. It gives people a dreamy feeling of spring breeze.

As he said that, he also pulled Uzumaki Kushina who was holding his sleeve behind him, motioning her to say hello too and not to be rude.

But perhaps because of fear of this seemingly gentle but actually leader of the largest violent organization in Konoha, the Country of Fire, or perhaps because of the lingering side effects of certain factors when she arrived, Uzumaki Kushina did not behave as before. Uzumaki Makoto responded with full energy.

The red-haired girl was still holding Uzumaki's sleeves tightly. After Uzumaki patted her, she even hid her petite body behind Uzumaki.

It looks cute like some kind of small animal.

It would be even cuter if it let out a cute wail.

"I'm sorry, Kushina hasn't recovered from what happened before. She has always been carefree in the village. She has never encountered such a cruel thing. That's why she is like this. Please forgive her for being rude. .”

Uzumaki Makoto turned his head and looked at the cute girl who was hiding behind him, like a little beast, with gentle yet firm eyes. Then he turned his head to face Sarutobi Hiruzen and explained, with a solemn expression on his face, as if this was something extremely important.

It's indeed quite important.

"It's okay, it's okay. No one wants to encounter such a thing. I can understand Kushina's mood, so I won't blame her,"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down, took out his favorite pipe from the drawer, and knocked it against the ashtray on the table. His expression remained gentle, and he asked with a hint of teasing.

"Whoever encounters something like this for the first time behaves like this."

"Besides, do I seem to be such a fussy person?"

"of course not."

"That's good, it seems I left a good impression on you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen skillfully stuffed the pipe with tobacco, then lit it as if no one else was watching, and finally took a puff. This is the Konoha Hokage's office, and he is the biggest here. Although he can't really do whatever he wants, no one can do it. , but it’s still okay to smoke a cigarette or something.Moreover, small actions such as smoking can eliminate the sense of distance brought by the identity of Hokage and bring the relationship between the two young guests closer.

For example, now, Uzumaki Kushina's eyes widened and she seemed to be no longer afraid. She stuck her head out and looked at the man in front of her who blew out a large smoke ring.

Of course, maybe she was just wondering why this guy suddenly started smoking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spotted Kushina who stuck her head out, and smiled kindly at her. The red-haired girl was so frightened that she shrank back, allowing Uzumaki Makoto to touch her little head helplessly.

Well, it feels pretty good.

Seeing this scene, no matter how powerful the Third Hokage was or how tough his wrist was, he could only smile helplessly.

"From today on, you will live in Konoha. If you have any problems, you can either come to Tsunade or come to me directly. I will solve it for you."

"Don't worry, don't be shy, just come to me directly. As long as it's something I can solve, I'll help you."

"I understand."

Uzumaki Makoto narrowed his eyes and responded with a smile.

"We will regard Konoha as our own village and our own home. If we continue to live here, as for trouble, we will have to trouble the Hokage-sama for help."

"Maybe there will be a lot of them."

Finally, Uzumaki Makoto showed a troubled expression.

"Haha, it would be nice to treat the village as your own home. You will feel the warmth of Konoha. The villagers here are very friendly and the children are enthusiastic enough. You will make many friends and you will not feel lonely here. "

Sarutobi blew out a smoke ring, and the white smoke ring slowly drifted away. He looked at the blond beauty whose face was a little ugly because he was smoking in a closed room with many people, and the blond beauty whose heart was indescribably huge.

"Tsunade."

He said.

"What's wrong"

The blond beauty couldn't help it in the end. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows and stretched out her fair and delicate hands to pinch her nose. It seemed that what filled the room was not second-hand smoke but some toxic and harmful gas.

"Really" Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to complain when he saw Tsunade's actions, but suddenly realized that this was not the usual situation. There were still two guests here. He should not let his children see his loss of majesty, so he quickly restrained himself. He stopped talking, kept his posture straight, and got down to business.

"These two children of the Uzumaki clan have come to Konoha and have no place to live. They will live with you from now on. Speaking of which, judging from the relationship, they will call you cousin."

what

Tsunade's face changed drastically and she didn't even cover her nose.

Let the two children come and live in my own home

Isn’t this just taking care of children?

Then how can I gamble freely and play freely in the future?

The blond beauty standing behind Uzumaki Makoto heard the first half of the sentence and was about to object, but was blocked by the second half. The blood status of relatives and elders prevented her from leaving her two children alone.

So after a brainstorming session, Tsunade squeezed out one word from her mouth with an unkind expression.

"it is good."

"That's good. Makoto, and Kushina, you will live with Tsunade from now on, no problem, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uzumaki Makoto again.

At this time, the last rays of the sun passed through the glass and were cast into the office. The fiery red light stretched the shadow of the chair very long. The expression of Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting in the chair still looked amiable, but in the shadow, he seemed to be in a state of indifference. The Monkey King, the tallest person in the tree, exudes an undeniable aura in every word and deed.

That is the dominance of Hokage.

"Starting from tomorrow, you will go to ninja school to attend classes, how about"

"Ok."

Uzumaki Makoto still smiled, as if he was a ruthless smile machine, and then he asked his first question after arriving in Konoha Village.

"But, can I not go to school?"
