Konoha Hidden Village is being rebuilt

"Gooji", "Gooji", "Gooji".

The slime squirmed through the corridor, and the fluorescence faded away.

Jingyou quietly looked around and saw that the following tracking troops were still missing. He didn't know if they were all heading towards Mr. Gojo, or if they hadn't come here yet. She didn't dare to stay longer, and couldn't decide which way to go. She looked around uneasily, and then, the warm fur came close to her.

Mr. Cat!

She immediately recognized the other person and covered her mouth where she almost screamed.

The tired cat squatted on a box, rolled her up with its tail, and laid her next to her.

"...Why did it happen like this?" Mr. Cat, who was a little speechless, looked down at her, "Forget it, to make a long story short, I can only appear for a while. I just saved up some energy for you to use for summoning, and I will sleep for a while..."

Jingyou hugged the tip of its fluffy tail and whispered, "If I don't summon you, can Mr. Cat stay?"

Mr. Cat sighed.

"I can't help you if I stay, don't be afraid, just find someone reliable. This world has been invaded, and there are only some mindless low-level pollutants left. Even the people summoned are of average strength. To deal with it - don't look for people who use pupil magic, the polluted body naturally restrains characters with strong perception."

Jingyou, who was half-comprehensive, was filled with the wonderful substance. The next second, Mr. Cat's looming figure disappeared.

Jing You held up the things in his arms in frustration and began to think about who to summon.

uncle? But he just got injured and was sent back. I don’t know what the situation is... Dad? The Uchiha family has a very powerful "blood successor" or "limiter". It should be regarded as "pupil technique", so I can't choose...Mom? What if she is treating a patient in the hospital? The operation cannot be interrupted...

After thinking about it, she slowly settled on her target.

"Hokage-sama's work should be interrupted..." She murmured unconfidently, "Just, for a short while, I will send Mr. Gojo back..."

The strange substance glowed and answered her call. In the suddenly flowing wind, someone came shouting "Wow!"

Before Jingyou could speak, the visitor kept saying loudly: "Yes, sorry, I didn't mean to steal your things. I just saw this fragment in the alley and picked it up unconsciously because it glowed!"

……what.

Jingyou looked confused. When he saw the other person bending down and stretching out his hands, he respectfully urged: "Master Ghost, don't pay attention to me. Get the food and leave quickly! I don't think it tastes good at all!"

"...It's me, Uncle Naruto." She said silently, not knowing for a moment which one was more shocking: "The Seventh Generation Hokage is afraid of ghosts" or "Uncle Naruto actually bowed to me and apologized".

Standing on the box, the tiny she finally looked at Uzumaki Naruto.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Seventh Hokage was a lot shorter than she remembered - although he was still very tall compared to her - and looked at her in surprise with a childish face: "Is the ghost so small?!"

Jingyou stood up and retorted loudly: "It's not a ghost, it's Jingyu! Uncle Naruto is so weird!"

Before the two of them could come up with a conclusion about the "ghost" debate, the translucent fragments in Naruto Uzumaki's palm slowly floated up, blooming into a colorful halo, like foam in the sun.

The moment the bubble burst, they were pulled into memories.

The first time Keiyu and Uzumaki Himawari met was in Konoha Hospital.

She had just finished an operation and was lying in the intensive care unit. She fell into a drowsy sleep for who knows how long. She rarely regained consciousness. Her eyes slowly wandered down from the pure white ceiling to the wall.

The wall next to the door is made of transparent glass, so you can clearly see the people outside.

The seventh generation Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Hinata, was standing outside the wall with her daughter, watching her quietly.

It seems that when she is conscious, there must be someone accompanying her, maybe her mother, maybe her sister, maybe her grandparents, and occasionally Uncle Naruto or Aunt Hinata...

Jingyou was confused and wanted to smile, but the corners of his mouth were numb and he didn't know if he succeeded.

In the blurred vision, the little black-haired girl of the same age as her pressed against the glass, raised a big, bright smile, and exaggerated her mouth shape every note.

【Wait, you, okay, get up, come, we, get up, play together! 】

The blue eyes she inherited from her father Uzumaki Naruto were like the midsummer ocean that Keiyu had seen in picture books, shining with broken light.

Jingyou opened his mouth weakly and issued a response that only he could hear.

【it is good. 】

"Aoi and I met when we were two years old," Keiyu sat on Uzumaki Naruto's shoulders and clasped her fingers. "Since then, she has often come to the hospital to see me."

The two people whose focus shifted from "It's not a ghost" to "Who is Jingyou?" closed their mouths in exhaustion after a series of silly conversations. The boy who looked quite confused muttered, but still reached out and put her on his shoulder.

"Little one, don't you know me?" Uzumaki Naruto asked nervously, seemingly nonchalantly, not listening to what she said at all.

"It's 'Keiyu', please call the name correctly." She puffed up her cheeks and hugged his neck, "That's Uncle Naruto, father and mother's best friend, the Seventh Generation Hokage of Konoha Village, the Fourth Ninja War The hero——"

Jing You spoke out all the titles he still remembered and said firmly.

"I won't admit my mistake!"

"Oh," Uzumaki Naruto said excitedly as he was dizzy with a series of titles, "Okay, I just want to become such a great person!"

Before Jing You had time to be happy, he immediately answered, "But I really haven't seen you before."

……hateful!

Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head and looked at her, and said with certainty: "There is no child as young as you in the village."

"So I was shrunk by the light. My normal body size is not this small!" Jing You angrily pointed at himself lying on the hospital bed in the memory scene.

But the person who provoked the anger had already changed the subject and asked: "'Best friend'... who are your parents?"

"...My father is Uchiha Sasuke, and my mother's previous name is Haruno, but now her name is Uchiha Sakura."

Jingyou replied weakly.

Uzumaki Naruto's reaction was completely different from what she expected. He was so shocked that his whole body fell into a gray aura, and he shouted unconvinced: "Liar!"

Jingyou was startled.

"Sakura, how could Sakura marry that guy who is pretending to be cool!" He retorted, "Besides, we are still in school, so it is impossible for us to get married, let alone have children!"

Jing You finally understood where the feeling of dissonance came from and blurted out.

"It's impossible now, but it will be possible when you grow up -"

She looked at Naruto Uzumaki's face, which was obviously still a child, and suddenly realized that he was also trapped in a gray aura.

"...It's over, I seem to have summoned at the wrong time."
