Naruto: Fox and Cat

The next few days were still calm, autumn had officially begun, the temperature began to cool down, and the ginkgo and maple trees in Konoha Park also changed their colors. The apricot yellow, orange and red looked very beautiful.

Naruto still focuses on theory classes, and occasionally comes into contact with some paperwork, but when he sees those docile reports, his expression is very painful.

Ying Luofeng didn't go out much. Apart from occasionally making cakes and asking people to send them to the orphanage, she started her health-preserving life in advance with books and tea every day.

Those tailed beast dumplings have now let themselves go. Shukaku and Kurama No. 2 come out to play almost every day. Of course, the two-tailed beasts are prohibited from coming out by Naruto. The elegant two-tailed cat is just showing off to the jealous temporary host. despise.

"Shou...shou...", the palm-sized beige dumpling was trying hard to read the two beautiful words written on the sticky note in front of him. Finally, the little tail patted the table and said angrily, "I know how to read it. ! My name is Shukaku! And I also know how to write my name in ancient Chinese!"

When it was born, it knew how to pronounce and write its name, but since it was discovered by humans, it has been circulated among various Jinchuriki. Every time it hates and antagonizes those Jinchuriki, it has no idea what is in the outside world. Only when the Jinchuuriki collapses or explodes can we escape the pain of the seal. How can we have time to learn the knowledge of the new era? What's more, those Jinchuuriki even talk to it with fear and rejection, how can they take the initiative to synchronize the world with it? information.

"Then can you teach me? I haven't seen what ancient writing looks like." Ying Luofeng asked with a smile and gave it the brush in her hand.

"Hmph, you don't even know this. You humans are really prone to forgetting your ancestors." Shukaku held a taller brush in his short paws and worked hard to draw on the notebook she brought over, "Here You need to hook up like this, and then draw like this here!@##@!#"

After it was completed, Ying Luofeng looked at the names on the paper that looked a bit like ghost drawings, "It looked a bit like those spells drawn by ninjas, such as explosion charms or something like that."

"Because those seals and so on were all invented by Indra! Of course they are more or less similar!" Shukaku Danzi proudly put his hands on his hips and watched her take the pen over and start copying, and suddenly started to look old-fashioned. Guidance, "Yes, there needs to be a point here, and then there needs to be a curve here like a wave."

Ying Luofeng smiled and wrote its name according to its instructions, watching it walk proudly in front of the still-dry ink, like a big leader inspecting the results.

Naruto over there has been tortured to the point of going crazy by various paperwork requirements. He lies weakly on the back of the chair and looks at the happy group of people over there, "Why can Feng and Shukaku have so much fun? Obviously They all seem to be learning knowledge..."

"Who told you that you haven't touched these report documents before? This is just an introduction. Just try your best to learn how to explode your head." Shikamaru, who was wiping the blackboard, turned back and glared at him angrily, giving this guy a lesson. When I was there, I felt like I was so angry that my blood pressure was going to explode.

"These official words are really creepy..." Naruto casually pulled out a copy of the report filled with notes and said with a frown, "For example, it is clear that those traitorous ninjas are only around Konoha. Appeared, why did you stamp them all and expel them from the Fire Country?"

"You haven't read this report completely. Those guys are related to several child abduction cases, and they specialize in abducting orphans who lost their homes during the war and were not protected by strong ninja villages. There is no evidence that they are the main culprits behind the scenes, but they are also related to They can't break away from each other." Shikamaru took the report and patted him on the head, indicating that he would read it carefully, "The world is still in chaos now, and the major ninja villages are still peaceful. Other small ninja villages The situation in the small country is even more miserable than before the war. Moreover, the five major ninja villages lost a large number of ninjas in this war, and there is no spare manpower to help other small ninja villages. "

"..." Naruto also knew this. Even in Konoha now, the number of ninjas capable of performing tasks is only one-fifth of what it was before the war.

"It's no use just talking now, what everyone needs is practical action." Shikamaru took out some new information for him, explaining that Konoha's current peace was also achieved through some violent means, "The Country of Fire" The reason why we can still be so peaceful with Konoha is because we directly eradicated several large-scale rebel ninja groups in the Land of Fire. Moreover, Sasuke occasionally went to the chaotic places on the border to perform tasks, and by the way, he practiced with Susanoo. Several new ninjutsus have been used to frighten those guys on the border who are ready to take action."

"I know..." Naruto took a deep breath. Sure enough, he still didn't understand these overly complicated things.But it doesn't matter. As long as he works hard to learn and understand, he will definitely be able to understand the way of thinking and processing that is new to him.

Shukaku held the writing brush and looked at the golden fox in the distance who was almost drowning in the ocean of knowledge. He said with disgust, "He is so stupid. Does Konoha really want to choose him to be the next Hokage? It is true that Naruto is strong and kind, but Would he really be a good politician?”

"No one knows these things when they are born. Everyone needs to learn." Ying Luofeng smiled, took out the book she had not finished and continued reading.

"Really?" Shukaku tilted his head and nodded after remembering something. "That's right. That kid is not as stupid as before."

"?", Ying Luofeng's hand while flipping the book paused, and she looked at it with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

"He must not be stupid after studying so many books in the past few weeks!" Shukaku nodded seriously, holding the brush and spreading it over the open book, giving instructions like an uncle, "Continue reading last time. In that book, I want to know whether the fish killed the prince at the end."

"Yes, yes~" Ying Luofeng just smiled patiently, took out the fairy tale book in front of her and opened the bookmarked page.

Not far away, Naruto looked back at her with a gentle smile, knowing that he would do his best to protect all these years of peace and quiet.

..........................................................................................

After a week or two of doing nothing, Ying Luofeng began to wonder if she had thought too much, and even wanted to go to the orphanage to settle the score with that guy Kabuto.However, he could secretly guess that someone was watching his whereabouts, but they just stared and made no move.

At night, she lay on the window sill and said good night to Naruto as before. After watching him leave, she closed the window and lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling and starting to count silently.

When it was late at night and she finally started to drift off to sleep, three taps from the window and the following calm voice suddenly woke her up:

"Miss Feng, I've invited a consultant."

..........................................................................................

That night, Naruto kept tossing and turning, always feeling like something was about to happen, but he was afraid that he was thinking too much, so he could only hold back and comfort himself that it was just an illusion.

After finally surviving until dawn, he immediately rushed out of the door and rushed towards Fengzhijia.

There were not many people in Konoha in the morning, and those who came out for morning exercises only saw an orange figure flashing in front of their eyes. When they thought about it and wanted to say hello, there was no such person in their field of vision.

Naruto knew that according to Sakura Luofeng's daily routine, she was already up now.When Naruto ran to the door of Feng Zhi's house, he also disturbed a few kittens sleeping coiled at the door. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. He didn't hear any response, but this may also be because her bedroom was on the third floor. No knocking was heard.

Naruto closed his eyes, and when he opened them again after a while, he had already used Sage Mode. The information perceived by the natural energy made him frown subconsciously.

Yingluofeng is not here.

"Naruto?"

Before he could make any move, Ying Luofeng's confused voice suddenly came from behind.When Naruto turned around suddenly, he saw her standing in Chuyang's slightly drunken state holding a bag of buns.

"Wind!" After rushing up to check her around, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when nothing unusual was found. After unlocking the sage mode, he hugged her and acted like a baby, "It scared me to death. I thought you weren't at home, Feng. …I couldn’t sleep all night last night.”

"I just got up early today, so I decided to go out and buy breakfast." Ying Luofeng touched his head without a forehead protector, smiled and raised the breakfast in his hand, "I bought steamed buns, do you want to eat them?"

"Of course~" Naruto happily took the breakfast bag and led her to the door with his other hand, the smile on his face still as warm and bright as the sun.

The rising warm sun slowly drives away the remaining darkness, but everyone does not know that the sun has just been born from the darkness and will eventually return to the darkness.

..........................................................................................

Naruto was soon secretly invited to have a conversation with Konoha's top management. The whole process was very secretive. Except for the Hokage, the top management, and the confidants of the middle and high-level ANBU, everyone else who knew about it was kept in the dark.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi, who were deeply wary of the higher-ups, were invited by Sakura Luofeng to the House of Wind for tea. Their Sharingan could easily control the higher-ups. Of course, it was impossible for them to appear in these places. at important meetings.

In order to ensure that they would not cause trouble, Shikamaru was also sent here to 'monitor' the three of them.What's amazing is that even though the Feng Family is under surveillance, these three people can really relax and drink tea, play chess, and read. To be precise, the four of them are drinking tea, playing chess, and reading.

Three years after the war, Itachi finally let go of his pain a little bit. This apparently 'dead' man finally no longer wore a cold-blooded and ruthless mask, and his gentle and jade-like face often had a gentle smile. The long black hair was simply tied back by a red rope.Moreover, he usually wears an ANBU mask and only takes it off when in front of Sasuke.

"..." Shikamaru was staring at the chessboard at this time, his eyes moving between his Kei horse and his horns.

"You can upgrade Keima, throw away the horns and rooks and drive them into the defensive zone, so as to buy three steps of time." Itachi said calmly, then glanced at Sasuke who was holding a plate of cherry tomatoes, "Sasuke, before lunch Can’t eat too much fruit.”

"Brother, don't always treat me like a child. I'm almost 22." Sasuke retorted impatiently, but still put down the snacks in his hand.

"I'm still a general after three moves, that's right..." Shikamaru breathed out and put down the chess pieces in his hand. "Playing chess with you is several times more tiring than playing chess with dad... Originally, one move counts as ten. As a result, one step now requires counting thousands of possibilities for the general."

"Hmph, so why are you so reluctant to play chess with your brother? Didn't you just finish playing chess with the old man Tsuchikage before?" Sasuke asked casually, pouring a cup of tea for Itachi.

"Sasuke, be polite." Itachi reminded him somewhat amusedly, and stopped him from reaching for the tomato with his eyes.

"Mr. Tsuchikage's chess ability is really high. I almost lost at that time. But there are many factors to consider when playing chess with Kages from other villages. It's not as easy as it is now, without having to consider the consequences." Shikamaru played. The jade general in his hand was tossed and then held in his hand, and then the other hand was naturally stretched out towards him, "I am also your brother's opponent after all, can't you pour me a cup of tea?"

"How could you be my brother's opponent? We obviously lost," Sasuke frowned slightly, but still poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"I didn't know Itachi could play chess," Sakura Luofeng, who was sitting on the side, was looking at the three of them with her face raised. The beige Shukaku dumpling and the orange-red Kurama No. 2 dumpling were sitting on her Make a nest on the top of your head.

Itachi smiled and said calmly while arranging the chessboard, "As long as you understand the rules and player psychology, you will find that all games have similar patterns. As long as you grasp the time and position of placing and taking pieces, and the psychology of the opponent's eyes, etc., You can control the opponent's next move, and thus control the entire chess game. As long as you want, winning or losing is up to you."

"It's true..." Shikamaru also found that every time he played chess with him, the control was basically no longer in his hands in the second half of the game.He was a little doubtful whether the other party used the Sharingan, but he also remembered that Itachi was a genius who entered the school at the age of six, graduated at the age of seven, joined the ANBU at the age of 11, and was promoted to the ANBU captain at the age of 13. Adding to other random rumors, he is indeed better than imagined. of unfathomable depth.

"Don't make playing chess so obscure. I want to learn it with the children in the orphanage later." Ying Luofeng curled her lips, and then yawned softly.

"It's almost time for you to rest, Miss Feng." Itachi looked at the time, stood up and helped her up.

"Have you taken your medicine today?" Sasuke asked worriedly, but saw that she closed her eyes and fell down the next second, and quickly reached out to support her.

"When I came to class the day before yesterday, Ms. Feng fell asleep at around 12:11, and today it's only [-] o'clock." Shikamaru took the blanket and covered her, and asked Itachi to help carry her up to the third floor. Put the bedroom away.

After asking the two tailed beast dumplings to protect the unconscious Sakura Luofeng and setting up a barrier in the room, Itachi left the third floor.

The curtains in the reading room on the second floor have been closed since the beginning. Shikamaru was standing at the curtains, opening a slight gap and looking at the streets with people coming and going outside.

Because all acquaintances were present, Sasuke's Rinne Sharingan was not covered, completely exposing his two eyes, one black and one purple. He was tapping the table gently with his left hand, "It's strange, I thought you Wouldn’t agree.”

"If nothing changes, peace will only appear in our generation, just like the first Hokage." Shikamaru lowered the curtains and spoke calmly, "Then I knew that a ninja village only has one or two A strong person is not enough. It is best if the overall strength of the entire Ninja Village rises to the point where others dare not act rashly, then the village will be truly peaceful."

"Hmph, if you and Kakashi hadn't taken practical actions, I would have settled the accounts with the old guys at the top." Sasuke snorted, and the topic returned to the original chess game, "But you Still no match for my brother."

"Yes, yes, I know your brother is perfect..." Shikamaru waved his hands with a headache. Why didn't he know that Sasuke had such a childish side before? Then he asked seriously, "I haven't felt Naruto yet. Chakra?"

"No, maybe that idiot Cranetail has been successfully brainwashed." Sasuke's left hand was still tapping the table gently, and the crescent moon mark hidden under the black glove was quietly shining.

"Among the ninjas under surveillance this time are the Hyuga clan, will they leave traces?" Shikamaru looked at Itachi who was walking down. Although he asked this, he knew that the Byakugan was no match for the Sharingan, not to mention there were three here. Mangekyō Sharingan and a Rinnegan.

"It's okay." Itachi shook his head, and after instantly forming a series of seals with his hands, he pressed on the table, and a pure white dove appeared between the spells.The pigeon flapped its wings and disappeared in the next second.

"I, Sasuke, Miss Feng and you have not left the Feng House until Naruto comes back. This will be the information they need to know, and the Byakugan will see the same sight." Itachi calmly explained what he had just said The function of that technique, "This kind of genjutsu is equivalent to a set type. Once the keyword is activated, the genjutsu will be triggered. Although it will not cause damage to the brain nerves and the human body, this technique can only be unlocked by the Sharingan." "

"As long as you don't leave any traces." Shikamaru nodded, still surprised by Itachi's lightning-fast seal formation just now, "You must be too fast to form seals, and I heard that you can also form seals with one hand. print?"

"One-handed seals are usually combined with shuriken and genjutsu. When the enemy is attracted by the shuriken, they will relax their vigilance towards your seals and genjutsu." Itachi explained, showing Shikamaru how to use it. Summon a shadow clone by forming a seal with one hand.

Shikamaru felt his eyes blur, and his mouth twitched as he watched his shadow clone disappear.

"I know how to do this. When I have free time, I also practice shuriken with my brother." Sasuke shrugged. After the war, he mainly strengthened his training in Taijutsu and Fire Style, and strived to become more capable without relying on the Sharingan and Rinnegan. Down, the enemy can be easily subdued.

"Don't you have many god-like abilities now? And you are the reincarnation of the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths? You and Naruto are really full of cheats now...",

"My goal is to be like Madara Uchiha, who can subdue others simply by using Taijutsu and the Fire Release of the Uchiha clan." Sasuke spoke seriously, raising his chin slightly proudly, "It's best to explode with a powerful fire ball. The kind that would destroy a village!"

"..." Shikamaru's mouth twitched, and then he looked at Itachi silently, "Your brother... also wants to destroy the world?"

"I will not stick to my current achievements, see clearly my current shortcomings and work hard to make up for them. I want to become stronger without losing my true heart, and I will no longer blindly pursue power. Instead, I will use this strength to protect the world. Peace. Isn't this very cute?" Itachi, who didn't notice the point at all, just smiled softly, as if he saw the soft and glutinous dumpling that pestered him to practice when he was a child. "The way he practices hard to become stronger makes me I remember him when I was little, he was so cute~"

"The filter between you two brothers can't be saved..." Shikamaru was even more speechless and could only remind him again, "That's Uchiha Madara! Infinite Tsukuyomi! Destroy the world!"

"I just said that I wanted to be as powerful as him, I didn't say that I wanted to destroy the world." Sasuke glanced at him with disgust. Just as he was about to protest the second half of Itachi's sentence, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and then he looked towards the Hokage Tower. direction.

"Is it Naruto's chakra?" Itachi frowned slightly. Judging from the time, the meeting had only started not long ago, so there shouldn't have been a conflict so quickly, right?

"His chakra fluctuated for a while, but he has calmed down now." Sasuke pulled out his chair and sat down, not paying much attention. "Although he called us to take precautions, it shouldn't be our turn to go over there."

"Having said that, you still have to be prepared." Shikamaru looked at the closed curtains and said in a deep voice, "I will protect Miss Feng during this period, but you must also pay attention to your safety."

"Well," Itachi also understood, then looked at him and said, "But thank you for trusting us."

"I just want to make Konoha better, and it's very tiring to be the support of a low-end Hokage, so you guys with good brains don't even think about escaping." Shikamaru said with a rare sly smile, shrugging, "But I don't know if this is true or not. Everyone knows that the Sharingan can control people's hearts."

"Peace without autonomy can only be temporary. I don't want to stay in a cage and control others forever." Itachi smiled slightly. Using the Sharingan to control people's hearts in this kind of matter can save a lot of trouble, but it will only be counterproductive.

"Brother..." Sasuke looked at him worriedly, then folded his hands and said, "Anyway, after finishing the last thing, it's Naruto's turn to stay in Konoha. In order to avoid rumors that we use Sharingan to control us. Kakashi."

"Thank you, Sasuke." Itachi also knew that secretly there were still many people wary of Sasuke's eyes, but they just didn't dare to do anything due to the Hokage's order and Sasuke's strength.

"You don't need to take that kind of guy seriously at all." Sasuke said coldly. Anyway, he had often heard these gossips since he was a child and had long been used to it.

[One was crushed by intelligence, and the other was crushed by force. They were indeed two terrifying brothers...] Shikamaru looked at them and extended his right hand to them, "Anyway, it's a happy cooperation."

"A pleasure to work with."
