[Naruto] It turns out you are the tail end of the crane

On a snowy night, Obito and Kakashi's impulsive discussion ended with a visit from a kappa wearing a green jumpsuit.

No one expected that when they were fighting vigorously, a smooth watermelon head would suddenly appear from the top of the wall.

The people who were startled were stunned for a moment before reacting belatedly.

Why do you always show up at Kakashi's house unexpectedly!

Of course Kakashi wouldn't say that this guy could suddenly pop out even when he was taking a shower. This way of appearing was considered relatively normal.

I saw this watermelon head's eyes firmly glued to Kakashi. He clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Kakashi! My eternal rival, let's have a duel of youth!"

Again.

Kakashi stopped his fist swinging at Obito in time.

He returned to his dull look, "...No?"

Xiguatou didn't say much, and immediately waved his fists to come up and compete with him in physical skills.

Kakashi quickly stopped him: "...Maybe we can consider guessing?"

He tried this trick time and again.

"Okay, let's set the rules. Whoever loses will have to walk upside down on one hand five hundred times around the village!" Watermelon Head was indeed tricked. He showed his big white teeth and answered seriously.

Here it comes again, this self-determination without reason.

Kakashi rolled his eyes at him: "Hey, don't make those weird rules yourself, okay?"

Yuzuha sat next to Nohara Lin and watched the fun.

Listening to it, she always felt that it sounded very familiar.

She seemed to have heard of things like doing a handstand on one hand and circling five hundred times before...

It seems to also happen in such a winter...

Yuzuha raised her eyes and glanced at Obito, who was still standing there stupidly, and then blinked at the watermelon head who had jumped off the wall.

Etc., etc……

Isn't this the regret she left behind many years ago?

She had never seen the classic scene of Kakashi walking upside down five hundred times.

Yuzuye rubbed her hands and said she wanted to see it!

Although she felt uncomfortable taking her and Kai as bets at the time, it was really a pity that she didn't see it at the time!

When she thought of this, Yuzuha gave Obito a complaining look.

The confused Obito:?

She couldn't miss this good opportunity now.

Yuzuha didn't mind adding more fire at all.

So Yuzuha made a quick decision and shouted to Kakashi: "Kakashi! Compare with him! You are an excellent genius Kakashi!"

Kakashi, who doesn't understand Yuba's brain circuit at all:...

Lin beside her also blushed and shouted: "Kakashi, come on."

Kakashi & Obito:? ? ?

Kakashi glanced at Yuzuha, who looked excited, and became convinced.

This guy looks so happy and even cheers himself up. Most likely he wants to see himself make a fool of himself.

Facing Kakashi's disdainful look, Yuzu showed an innocent expression.

She turned her head and winked silently at the watermelon head that was still hanging on the wall: If you want to defeat Kakashi later, please be sure to make him stand on one hand and walk five hundred times around the village!

This watermelon head actually understood such a long string of information.

He nodded vigorously: "Okay! Then, my eternal rival, let's have a duel of youth!"

Yuba quickly answered for Kakashi: "Okay! Let's start quickly!"

Are these two people...all idiots?

Kakashi took everything in his eyes, put a cross on his forehead, took a deep breath and said to Yuba: "Don't make decisions for others casually!"

The watermelon head on the other end has raised a hand, eager to try: "Kakashi, hurry up and let us have a youthful duel!"

Yuba and Lin cheered on: "Kakashi, come on!"

Obito on the side frowned fiercely: "Hey!"

Why are you so serious? You two, if you don't know, you think they are really competing in some ninjutsu competition!

There was Watermelon Head in front who was eager to try, and behind there were Lin and Youye who were adding fuel to the fire.

Kakashi has nothing to do with them.

He sighed, stretched out a hand from his pocket, and said in unison with Kai: "Rock, scissors, paper."

"rock-paper-scissors!"

The hands hidden behind their backs were revealed together.

After half a second, Kai covered his hands, and tears like lasagna fell down his face. It was unclear whether he was crying with joy or feeling sad.

The results are out!

The three people watching hurried over.

Yuzuha supported Obito's shoulders, stood up on tiptoes with excitement, and then found with great disappointment——

It turns out that this kappa didn’t win at all!

"What?" Yuzuha patted Obito's shoulder angrily, with a look of disgust on his face: "It doesn't mean anything."

Thanks to her for praising Kakashi, it was such a waste of emotion.

Obito, who was hurt by the slap, frowned: "It hurts so much——"

Kakashi, who won, put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the circle with a nonchalant expression.

However, Watermelon Head's face was full of grief and anger: "Then, stand on one hand and circle the village five hundred times, let's start!"

Yuzuha:...Are you serious?

After watching the Kappa's figure standing on his hands gradually disappear in the wind and snow, it was time for the four of them to part ways.

In the end, Nohara Rin did not accept Yuzuha's rabbit lantern. After hearing that it was Obito's gift, she returned it to Yuzuha again.

"It's a gift from Obito, so don't let him down."

So after going round and round, the lamp returned to Yuzuha's hands.

Standing at the entrance, Yuzu said goodbye to Rin and the others before taking a step towards home.

If I heard words like he wanted to send Lin home, I might feel a little sad and disappointed.

Forget it, let's go first.

She thought well, but the snowdrift in front of Kakashi's house was too clean and tidy.

A vast expanse of white, glowing with fragmented and translucent light under the dim light.

Yu Ye didn't take a few steps when her attention was attracted by this thick and clean snowdrift.

She hesitated for a while, but finally chose to walk up.

Obito was a step slower than Yuzuha.

His eyes swept across the empty street, then turned to Lin and said, "Lin, let me take you back."

"No, let me do it. That guy seems to be waiting for you." Kakashi stepped over Obito and pointed at Yuzuha squatting in the corner, "You are tribesmen, you should live together."

Obito took a step forward.

He followed Kakashi's line of sight and saw Yuzuha. At this moment, she was half bent over playing in the snow, and she wasn't paying any attention to them.

The rabbit lantern was thrown at her feet and rolled several times alone in the cold wind.

Obito:......

"That's right," Obito murmured as he looked at her figure, "Then, I'll leave it to you, Rin."

On the white snow, the girl's back was shrouded in dim light, and her every move was caught in his eyes.

For no reason, he thought about the photo that was pressed under the pillow.

His head suddenly became slightly groggy, and Obito stood in a dilemma.

"Go quickly, Obito." The brown-haired girl pushed him at the right time and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Obito was caught off guard and stumbled forward, suddenly waking up.

He turned to look at his teammates, grinning and waving goodbye to them.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Obito."

……

The spring of Konoha's 44nd year.

The grass grows, orioles fly, and the warm wind blows at the willows.

Uzumaki Kushina was as usual, she made rice balls at noon and wanted to send them to the Minato class who were practicing.

The moment she closed the door, Kushina heard a gentle voice coming from behind.

"Good afternoon, Miss Kushina."

"Ah, it's Miss Liuhua."

The person who came was a woman wearing a long white dress.

Like Kushina, she was carrying a basket filled with bento.

Meeting an acquaintance, Kushina's eyes were filled with smiles unconsciously.

She walked up to Arisu Ruka in two steps at a time and patted her shoulder generously: "Are you going to give them lunch too?"

Liuhua's eyes also fell on Kushina's hand, and she covered her mouth with a smile: "Don't you?"

"Same, those guys are waiting for me to feed them every day."

When she thought of the children in Minato's class, Kushina couldn't help but smile, but she still pretended to complain: "Really, it's so tiring to take care of them."

Liuhua also thought of the children in Nakajima's class.

She put her finger to her lips and joked: "Ah, I didn't expect Kushina to be a duplicitous person... She is obviously so willing..."

The next words were muffled by Kushina. Kushina became slightly angry and raised her red hair randomly: "Liuka, don't say any more."

Liuhua looked at Kushina's hairy appearance and burst into laughter.

She skillfully took Kushina's hand and said, "Let's go. If we don't go, they will starve to death."

"Starve to death or starve to death..." Kushina muttered.

As she spoke, her eyes moved slightly and fell on Liuhua's slightly bulging belly.

"You..." She opened her eyes wide and looked at the woman's side face suspiciously.

"Well, it's been 4 months." Liuhua lowered her eyes and gently touched her belly.

"Ah, really?" Kushina's eyes lit up, "It's so fast. I haven't even had time to congratulate you two. Have you thought about your name? Really, why did Nakajimayo let you Are you going to deliver food? Do you want me to take it with you? "

Kushina's series of questions made Ruka stunned for a moment.

After calming down, she raised the corners of her mouth and answered her gently: "No, I want to go on my own. As for the name... I haven't thought about it yet."

"Do you have a favorite name?"

"Still thinking...Kushina, it's still early."

"Hurry up for this kind of thing."

"I said, you are so impatient. Are you and Minato planning to..."

"Stop talking, Liuhua!"

"Ah, Kushina...are you shy?"

While chatting to pass the time, the two of them walked into the woods together without knowing it.

The trees in the forest are lush and lush. Occasionally, a few birds chirp, and a few rays of sunlight leak through the gaps in the leaves, becoming intermittent as the wind blows.

Minato's class was doing tests when Kushina and Ruka arrived.

Several sharp kunai and shurikens broke through the air and shot straight at the blond man.

He calmly turned sideways and easily dodged the incoming sharp blade. As soon as he pulled his legs back, he heard a slight sound of wind behind him.

—someone!

Before Minato could turn his eyes, the experience he gained through many battles had already allowed his body to prepare further responses.

Sure enough, in the next second, a boy wearing goggles fell from the sky, but Minato had already nimbly dodged sideways.

Obito's sneak attack missed, and Kakashi, who was ready to attack on the other side, saw the opportunity and stepped forward with a kunai in hand.

Kunai and Kunai collided and then separated, creating dazzling rays of light one after another under the reflection of sunlight.

After the three of them attacked each other for a moment, Kakashi finally left a mark on Minato-sensei's sleeve.

The test ends here.

There were kunai and shurikens stuck randomly on the trees everywhere.

Minato-sensei stopped what he was doing, looked at the torn sleeve, and said with a smile, "Yeah! That's a pretty accurate shot."

"That's amazing, Kakashi!" Lin clasped her hands together and looked at the silver-haired boy with admiration.

The silver-haired boy put his hands on his hips and replied calmly: "I only hit one shot...it's not a big deal."

Behind him, Obito, who had not hit a single shot, lowered his eyes unwillingly, gritted his teeth, and said with a look of disdain, "Tch!"

What, one day I will also become——

A basket was placed heavily on his head, instantly interrupting Obito's five-hundred-word fantasy.

Obito:......

Several crosses jumped on the back of his head quite skillfully.

"Looks like we arrived just in time."

The familiar voice made Obito freeze for a moment. He looked back subconsciously, and what caught his eye was Kushina's long red hair.

Not only Kushina, he also saw a woman in a white dress standing under the tree on the other side.

He had never seen it and was not familiar with it.

After noticing Obito's doubtful eyes, the woman turned her face and smiled gently at him.

Compared with the hot-tempered Kushina, this one is not too gentle.

Well, she is...

Before Obito could ask a question, Lin, who was standing not far away, shouted in surprise: "Sister Kushina! You're here!"

"Xiao Lin!" Kushina instantly transformed into the big sister next door, and gently waved to Lin who was running towards her.

By the way, he finally showed mercy and took the basket off Obito's head.

"By the way, that one is..."

Kushina turned her head and pointed at the woman standing under the tree and introduced: "Her name is Arisu Ruka. She is the wife of Teacher Nakajima. Maybe... Nakajima Dairo will be here later."

As if to confirm her words.

Not long after, several jumping figures flashed through the woods, disappearing and appearing.

"Let me tell you, as soon as you say Nakajimayo, he will come." Kushina put her hands on her hips knowingly.

Nakajima Dai did come with three of his subordinates to find Ruka.

When Yuzuha first arrived, she saw Obito looking extremely frustrated.

Even when he greeted her, he looked downcast, and the black energy behind him almost turned into substance and overflowed.

Yuzuha was very sure that the reason why he looked like this was because he had never defeated Kakashi.

In order not to make her compatriot too uncomfortable, she stepped over and patted his shoulder, encouraging him casually: "Don't be impatient, you still have a lot of time to practice."

Obito sighed, still looking unwilling.

He bit his lip and nodded to Yuye.

"Then I'll go over first," Yuuye took a step back and waved goodbye to him with a smile: "Teacher and the others are waiting for me."

She turned around and walked back without waiting for Obito's response, and saw Ruka handing the lunch basket to Nakashimayo.

The woman smiled softly and said, "Here, eat quickly."

Arisu Ruka is the most common housewife in this village. She has a gentle personality and is also a good cook.

Not only Yuzuha, but Tachibana and Kaeye also had a very good impression of her, so all three of them behaved well in front of her.

"Thank you, Sister Liuhua."

Nakajima Dai followed them and bowed to Liuhua: "Thank you, Sister Liuhua."

Liu Hua was instantly teased to the point where her branches were trembling.

She laughed enough, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then quietly watched them eat with her cheeks drawn.

After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and secretly hooked the sleeve of Nakajima Dai who was eating happily.

Nakashimadai looked at his wife in confusion, and then reacted belatedly. He stood up and walked with her to the woods ten meters away from Yuzuye and the others.

However, Liuhua, who was smiling one second, turned serious the next second.

She stared into Nakashimadai's eyes and whispered: "I heard from my father... that war may be coming. Is it true?"

When Nakashimadai heard this heavy topic, he felt that the rice ball in his mouth had become tasteless.

After a few seconds of silence, he put away his playful smile and closed his eyes: "...It's a high probability."

"Really...what about you?" Liuhua frowned and looked at her husband worriedly.

"Yes." Nakajimayo smiled helplessly, "Do you regret it?"

"what?"

"Marry a ninja."

"What are you talking about?"

On the other side, for some reason, Obito and Kushina started arguing again. The two of them were so noisy that they both looked like children who had not grown up.

Kakashi and Rin sat obediently and quietly next to Minato.

The three of them were biting rice balls, their ears filled with arguments, and they all shook their heads with forced smiles.

Really, when will these two people become more mature?

……

Nakajimayo is right.

In the autumn of Konoha 44, the Third Kazekage disappeared, and Sunagakure Village declared war on Konoha Hidden Village.

The surrounding ninja villages were ready to take action, and they all took advantage of the situation and submitted a letter of challenge to Konoha.

A few years later, Konoha once again fell into the quagmire of war.
