Konoha's journey to find eternal life

The lights of thousands of houses are full of summer nights, and the cool breeze is merciless and light to the bone.

"Dad, I'm going to find Ryoichi!"

Looking at the bright neon lights on the street, Nami pouted and shouted again.

She couldn't figure it out in her little head. Yesterday, her father took her to Liang's house and asked her to act like a hostess.

Today, Dad seems to be a different person.

Not only locked her at home, but also told her not to go to Ryoichi in the future.

The world of adults is really complicated, why did it change in just one day?

"Nami, you are a girl, do you remember what your mother said before?"

Sanojiro finally softened.

He really doesn't know how to coax children. His education model has always been to talk about results, and he doesn't know how to adapt at all.

"But Dad, Ryoichi is my fiancé." With a small mouth, Nami retorted unwillingly.

"Mom said girls should be reserved! So you can't be too clingy to boys, you know? Ryoichi is a ninja, and men have to focus on their careers to support their families."

Jiro pinches Nami's cheek, the first time he's learned to use a workaround.

"But..." Nami's heart flew to Ryoichi's side.

How could she be reserved in front of Ryoichi.

"Fool, boys like obedient and sensible girls! Do you know what daddy likes most about mommy?"

"Then what does father like about mother?"

Nami's rhetorical question brought back memories of Jiro.

How beautiful the memory is, how sad Jiro is at this moment.

But in front of his daughter, Jiro could only smile and say happily: "Dad likes everything about mom, but dad likes mom most for being virtuous and sensible."

After scratching Nami's nose, Jiro changed the topic again and started teaching Nami how to be a good wife.

For a girl without a mother, the father can only do it himself.

In fact, Nami's age should not teach these things.But the little girl matured prematurely, which gave Zhirou a headache.

The key point is that Nami is still very interested, so she just took a small notebook and sat next to Jiro to listen and write down.

And Kinoshita Ryoichi here.

After dinner, Shinya, Sugito, and Jie Chuan made a floor bed in the guest room without asking Ryo's opinion.

Their behavior displeased Ryoichi, but it was not easy to push them away.

In the end, he was bullying Liang's family, who had no adults.

They still regarded Ryoichi more or less as a child, as someone they thought they could control.

No matter how nice the words are, Ryoichi will not be forced to return to the family.

In fact, it was a determined attitude.

"Forget it, I will leave Konoha if I want to get back Mitsuko's remains." With a sigh in his heart, Ryoichi returned to the bedroom and began to catch up on sleep.

The long night is long, and everything is silent.

In the Uchiha family in the corner of Konoha, Sasuke was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep.

To be precise, he never had a good night's sleep after that full moon night.

In the empty courtyard where he was alone, the night was quieter than usual.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the man he once loved so much appeared in his eyes.The devil-like eyes made the weak Sasuke both fear and hate.

Lifting the quilt, he hid his head in the quilt.But no matter how scared he was, no one would appear by his side to comfort him.

Therefore, he could only be brave, gritted his teeth, and turned all his fears into hatred.Only then will he no longer be afraid of the long night.

Naruto Tower, the lights are always on.

"Master Hokage, it's time for you to rest." Looking at the time, the tanuki masked man who was half hidden in the darkness reminded again.

"Hehe, it's all right." After giving up, Sandai replied with a smile, then picked up the documents on the table and continued to review.

There was always a smile on his aging face.But under the smile, there was also a trace of fatigue.

He is the Hokage who has been in power for the longest time, and Konoha under his control is thriving.

But he is also a lonely old man.

Three generations of wife Sarutobi Lake Biwa died in the Nine Tails Rebellion, and died in front of Uzumaki Naruto's delivery platform.

The eldest son Sarutobi Asiya also died last year, in a conspiracy surrounding Shiori Senju.

The second son, Sarutobi Asma, is at odds with him, and now he is one of the twelve guardian ninjas, staying in the famous capital all the year round.

Because of Asiya's affairs, the eldest daughter-in-law is respectful to him on the surface, but in private, she rarely cares about her family.

His only grandson, Konoha Maru, is still at the age of breastfeeding, and cannot be separated from his eldest daughter-in-law for a moment.

After a long time, the Third Hokage stretched his waist, and his bones made a crackling sound.

The Anbu ninja behind him thought that the third generation was going to rest.

The next moment.

Sandai lowered his head again and picked up another document.

The third generation of a new document did not review it quickly, but fell into deep thought while holding the document.

Because above the document, it is Kinoshita Ryoichi's new scheduling information.

After thinking for a while, Sandai picked up a pen and drew a cross on it.

When Kinoshita wakes up Mu Dun, this scheduling is no longer suitable for him.

Even if he agrees, those guys will come forward to object.

At that time, it will only cause conflicts within Konoha.

There is the fall of Senju Shiori in front of them, even if they know the flowers in the greenhouse, they cannot grow into independent ninjas.

And they will never agree to put the new light of hope in danger again.

"Konoha's hope." The third Hokage muttered in the silent Hokage office.

The more powerful one is, the more reluctant to let go of the power in his hand.

But he is really old.

The fourth generation walked ahead at a young age.

His three most proud apprentices are not in Konoha.

But Konoha is really time to hand over to the new generation.

Nine years old!

Holding Ryoichi Kinoshita's data sheet, staring at the age column for a long time, the third generation really has an idea.

After the end of the third Ninja World War, Konoha signed a peace treaty with Iwanin Village on the premise that Konoha made concessions.

In order to be responsible for the Konoha ninjas who died in the war, and at the same time under the pressure of Konoha's senior management, the third Hokage voluntarily resigned from the position of Hokage.

The last time he stepped down, he seemed to take the initiative, but in fact, only the third generation knew how reluctant he was.

The abdication of the third generation made Namikaze Minato, who was only in his twenties, the youngest Hokage in Konoha.

At that time, Sandai was still young, and he still had many great ambitions that had not been realized.

But now he is really old, he doesn't know how many more years he can last.

It's time for Konoha to need a replacement.

Among the many candidates, Kinoshita Ryoichi, who had not been polluted by a certain force, came into his sight.

The most important thing is Ryoichi's nine-year-old age.

Ten years, ten years later he will be 19 years old.

And at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen could go on willingly.

"Lord Hokage..."

After another quarter of an hour, Anbu Ninja spoke again to remind.

"Old, old, let's stop here today."

His thoughts were interrupted, Sandai put down the documents in his hands, slowly got up and walked to the lounge.
