[Hokage] Terukawa

Today is the third day of continuous rain, maybe I should be thankful that it has been light rain for the past three days, otherwise our house located in the mountains may suffer.

I covered myself tightly, stretched my short legs and found a place to sit cross-legged on the wooden porch outside and leaning against the railing.The thin rain smeared on my clothes, but it could no longer make me feel cold.In the land of water at the end of spring, the wind has quietly turned its direction, and it always carries a lot of water vapor, which is soft and warm, like a veil blowing on the face.

In fact, in terms of geographical location, the land area of ​​the country of water is not very large, and it is an island country surrounded by the sea, so it should be a place that is more oceanic.However, in the winter just a few months ago, the howling north wind was icy and cold, like countless invisible sharp knives, so sharp that it seemed that it could easily cut through the texture of human skin.I didn't go out at that time, the righteous man—that is, my current father, would occasionally go out to buy something to go home at the risk of cold legs.

To be honest, I don't really understand what my parents think.Obviously, there are villages at the foot of the mountain, and having a village means that there are people living there, and it also means that there is business. Pin up a map of the world, making it look like some kind of hidden family - a hidden family with only four people, and it is inconvenient to go out to buy things... There is no one.

To sum up, due to the long distance, we try to minimize the number of times we go out, and as long as there is a chance to go down the mountain, we must try our best to bring back all the things we need at home.

...and then bring back some small gifts for other people in the family, even my brother Dongming who is only four years older than me is no exception.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Dongming is only six years old this year, which means that my current biological age is two years old.

Two years old, what kind of concept is this?Two years old means that the child is still at an extremely fragile age. He can't stand the cold or the heat, he can't control a part of the body's metabolism well, and sometimes he can't even decide the way his body moves.For example, it is obviously not a long corridor, but every time I pass through, I have to use all kinds of movements, which cannot be more difficult.

This is just a small problem, if only these small problems are fine.

The problem lies in bigger, bigger problems.

I reached out and touched a piece of floor beside me, and after confirming the target, I pressed it hard and pushed it forward, only to hear a "click" like a light sound of machine springs colliding, and a small part of the long wooden board moved slightly. Pop open to reveal long, connected boxes underneath.

I took it out by hooking the ring at the end of the box with my fingers, and weighed it in my hand a few times—it is indeed a bit heavy for me now...and it doesn't look very suitable for a two-year-old Children's toys.

This thing is called Kuwu, I guess it is used to poke something - in fact, I am not very interested in its use, but it is not a egg, just judging from its rather ferocious appearance, I know it is definitely not a good thing Son—especially after witnessing my brother nail it into a tree trunk with a flick of his hand one time.

This is the murder weapon, and just above this short wooden corridor, there will be a box mechanism every few steps, which contains other things besides Kunai, for example, several things that are bigger than my palm. A large shuriken, or a few iron rods that are so sharp that they can be used to pick teeth... oh well, it's Senbon.

God knows how many memes flashed through my mind when I found out my brother was playing with these things as toys.

This is to panic, old iron, the problem is very big.

... What's even more frightening is that when I was three years old, I was about to start playing with these things.

There were footsteps approaching... I frowned.

No, I can't be caught. I'm a kid who is not only sneaking out here to pick up dangerous items, but also playing with dangerous items as toys.Cold sweat oozes from my back. For some reason, the nervousness that the brat committed a crime and is about to be caught suddenly flashed through my heart.I frantically snapped back the raised board—that is, the lid of the cassette.The restored floors look great, even the grain of the wood is butted perfectly.

...It would have been better if I hadn't forgotten to put the kunai back.

So what to do, what to do, what to do?

I twitched the corner of my mouth. Facts have proved that when a person tries to forcefully maintain a superficial calm, the speed of this person's inner drama will definitely increase significantly.

In just a few seconds, I don't know how many thoughts flashed through my mind-the plan of reopening the cassette and putting it back must be too late; if you throw it in the pond, you can throw it in, but the water is too clear I'm afraid You can see it at a glance...

And then...then there seems to be nowhere else to hide things? ? ?

——What kind of international joke, do you want me to lift the clothes and hide Kunai in the clothes?

My fingers pinched the edge of the wooden corridor... Wait, the wooden boards that make up the wooden corridor are supported by wooden piles, which means that the wooden boards are empty underneath!

There is always a way out.

With tears in my eyes, I threw Kunai into the space under the board, and Dongming appeared next to me.

Fuck it, so fast.Are you sure you are only six years old?

My body froze for a moment, what was I doing when I was six years old in my previous life... like making a kite out of a plastic bag?

"So it's hidden here, Zhaohe, no wonder you didn't answer when I called your name... I thought you were on the second floor again." He tilted his head and pointed to the top of his head with a smile, then leaned over to sit next to me On the railing, the body that was a little higher than me just blocked most of the damp and cool wind, and even the light rain that hit my face was gone.

Tibetan?I couldn't help curling my lip - which eye of yours saw me hiding.

...Obviously I just wanted to quietly observe your, uh, "toys".

However, just because I am very clear about the consequences of telling the truth—it probably won’t be a friendly operation, so I keep silent before doing something, and change the subject calmly after doing something to avoid talking about this topic. Do more pestering.

——Look, the perfect plan, and then I just need to find some time to pick up that poor kunai and stuff it back into the cassette.

If all goes well, it can be resolved tonight.I think it won't be a problem to put it under there for a while, after all, no one will bend down to see what's under the floor when they have nothing to do. What difficulty.

Plan to pass √.

I stood up and grabbed Dong Ming's ankle and pulled him down, successfully dragging him from the railing to the side of the wooden porch with a helpless expression.

I said next to him: "The balcony on the second floor just collapsed a few days ago. I'm not stupid. How could I continue to stay there?" I laughed mercilessly at his guess, and then said With a reason prepared in advance, "I'm just thinking about when Dad will come back to have dinner with us this time...and what kind of gift he will prepare for us."

Dongming laughed with a "poof" and said "That's how it is", after receiving my dissatisfied gaze (if Zhizi's education method was not so effective, I'm afraid I would roll my eyes indecently like in my previous life) and repeated Said sorry.It's a pity that whether it's his actions or his expressions, they all show his bad attitude of "acknowledging his mistakes with an open mind and resolutely not to change".

... Tsk, kid, your bad attitude is written all over your face, but I'm too lazy to argue with you.

I glared at him, let out a soft snort from my nose, and in response he habitually raised his hand and scratched the bridge of my nose.

... If I have a flat nose in the future, it must be his fault. At that time, I have to pull his nose bridge off and press it on my own face.

After ignoring my stare cheekily, Dongming smiled and said, "I've already asked my mother, and she said she had a premonition that my father would be home tonight. As for the gift... To be honest, I'm also curious about it." What will be the gift this time, but think about it carefully, when has he let us down?"

It is justifiable and irrefutable.

I fell into deep thought, leaving aside other aspects, at least the little gifts brought back by righteous people every time they go down the mountain are absolutely distracted.Although occasionally there will be some...the shapes are relatively young, but generally speaking, almost every one of the little gifts can be called exquisite and unique, each with its own advantages.If you want to give an example, whether it is a whale bone charm with a particularly compelling decorative effect, or a felt duck that looks so stupid and cute that you can't help but want to reach out and pinch it, although the style of the two is quite different. It is huge, but the craftsmanship is so detailed and eye-catching that people just need to look at it to fall in love.

As for this time... let me think about it.

In Dongming and my room, there is still a wind chime missing on the window edge; the matcha-flavored snacks in the refrigerator are almost gone; Things for lighting... Besides, Yiren seems to be very satisfied with Dongming's current talent in ninja equipment, so maybe he will...

...Wait, ninja.

It seems that for me at the moment, there is still a thing about ninja tools that I haven't finished.

...I almost forgot, some things are like this, I think about it in my mind, but the time is gone in a blink of an eye.

I went over these two words carefully several times in my mind.If this matter is not discovered, it can naturally be settled easily, but if it is discovered...

I was dumbfounded in secret—the Yoshito and Zhizi almost never avoided us when they talked, and based on some of their conversations, it can be concluded that the Yoshito was once a ninja.Although in our eyes, the performance of righteous people is no different from ordinary people in all aspects, and I have no idea what kind of group ninjas in this world are, but this does not prevent me from thinking that it is not a good idea.As for Zhizi... Anyway, even if the family is ruined, she was once a real nobleman Ji Jun, so her tolerance for this kind of thing should be infinitely close to zero.

...So the Kunai under the floor must not be forgotten, it is related to whether my butt will be turned into eight petals.

I said dryly: "Brother is right, last time there was..." The ocarina from the north——

Before the voice had time to land, I heard several distant and clear birdsong approaching from far to near—it came from a falcon named Haruno, female, who seemed to be picked up by my young parents many years ago .

...According to Zhizi, at that time, Haruno was still a cub with few hairs on his whole body.And the original intention of giving it the name "Haruno" is to hope that it will be more handsome in the future.

Counting and calculating, Haruno has been with the two of them for nearly ten years, and during these ten years, Haruno has been lucky enough to fulfill Zhizi's wish - when it When it spreads its wings and walks against the wind, its posture is like a noble lord patrolling its territory from top to bottom, its whole body is as sharp as a knife, and its dark round eyes occasionally burst out with sparks of air, At first glance, it really is - handsome bomb!

——The premise is that it doesn’t make a sound—God knows that after I first discovered that the real sound of a particularly handsome bird like a falcon is actually an extremely cute sound like "chirp chirp chirp", my heart felt How complicated.

——Feeling that I have been deceived_(:3)∠)_.

Every time the righteous man goes out, Qing Nai will spontaneously follow him, and when Qing Nai returns first, it means that the righteous man is not far away from home.

I stepped forward and hugged Haruno who had landed on the corridor, and with my hand, I smoothed away its rumpled feathers due to the rain.

"Mom," Dong Ming turned his head and shouted into the room, "Qing Nai is back—!"

There was a knock on the door a few minutes later, and at this time the moist and cool air was already filled with the fragrance of food.
