Konoha's strongest bug

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

After sending the scroll, he came to the Hokage Rock and looked down at 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, Aburame Shiga turned around and saw a young ninja with scars on his face looking at him in shock.

Behind the young ninja stood a yellow-haired 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.

"Yes, yes, it has been eleven years. We always thought that you, Master Zhigao, had..."

"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.

"Lord Shigao once independently suppressed the Nine-Tails during the Nine-Tails Rebellion until the Yondaime sealed it. Later, he defeated Kumogakure and Kirigakure, making them afraid to step into Konoha. Also, on the Eleventh Years ago…”

"Haha, it's okay Iruka!"

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

"There's no need to mention the past. That's just what people of our generation should do, and it's not worth showing off to the younger generation."

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

"Naruto, I'm sorry that I only appear in front of you now. In fact, I am your father..."

"Dad!" Naruto rushed forward and hugged Aburame Shiga, tears falling from his eyes.

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

The gazes of cold hatred and disgust from the villagers, the serious and caring gazes from the Third Hokage and Iruka, and the mocking and contemptuous gazes from the classmates.

But there was no such sight as Aburame Shigao.

Tenderness, distress, guilt, joy... just like a father looking at his son whom he has not seen for many years.

So Naruto was touched instantly, and he called "Dad" without any hesitation.

But Younv Zhigao was a little dumbfounded.

"Although it's okay for you to call me that, I'm afraid your real father won't be happy with it. In fact, I'm your father's good friend, so you can just 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 the paint graffiti on the Hokage statue.

Seeing him taking his time, Iruka scolded him again: "Hurry up and wipe it, I won't let you go back until it's clean!"

"It doesn't matter, there's no one at home anyway, huh!"

"..."

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

Naruto raised his head with an unhappy expression, "What happened this time?"

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

Iruka seemed a little self-conscious, and he scratched his face with his fingers.

"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, Aburame Shiga couldn't help but smile 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... Sir Shigao, please don't say that. As Naruto's teacher, these are what I should do. But Sir, why do you..."

At this point, 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……"

……

Aburame Shiga and Iruka were chatting above the Hokage Rock, while Naruto was working hard to rub the Hokage statue below.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually dimmed.

After working for several hours, Naruto finally cleaned up all the graffiti on the Hokage statues.

Putting down the rag and bucket in his hand, he ran to Iruka with excitement 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!"

"Haha, 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 was stunned for a moment, then pointed in a direction.

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

"Well, I understand, 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 did Uncle Zhigao buy white chrysanthemums when visiting his friends? Shouldn't he be buying fruits and snacks?"

"..."

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

"Zhigao-sama's friends are all seniors who experienced the Second and Third Ninja War. Most of them died and their names are engraved on the commemorative monuments, so I want to buy white chrysanthemums when I visit them."

"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 going too far!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

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

"what?"
