Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

"Itachi, Izumi, Shisui?"

"You three..."

He stood still and pushed up his glasses curiously.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes were wandering, a little arrogant and not looking directly at him: "Today..."

Before he finished speaking, Izumi shouted excitedly: "Yuzuru! Happy birthday!"

Hinata Yuzuru chuckled twice and looked at Uchiha Itachi.

He stood next to Shisui, being stared at by Hinata Yuzuru. He could only sigh helplessly, and with some trepidation, he took out a wrapped gift box from behind.

"Happy birthday."

"And mine!"

Quan couldn't wait and took out a small square box from behind him.

Uchiha Shisui smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "Sorry, I was on a mission yesterday, and I just heard Itachi say today is your birthday in the morning...the preparations were a bit hasty."

While speaking, Uchiha Shisui stretched out his hand, which was a beautiful katana.

Hinata Yuzuru took the long knife, hugged the rest of the gifts in his arms, and said softly with sincerity and joy: "Thank you."

"Although it's only the afternoon, after receiving your gifts, I should treat you to a meal anyway." Hinata Yuzuru suggested with a smile: "Ramen? It won't take up too much, and it won't delay you." dinner."

"Okay!" Quan doesn't care what he eats!

She walked to Hinata Yuzuru's side with a smile. She was reserved and didn't say anything more. She just cast her beautiful eyes on him and said curiously: "Yuzuru, I haven't seen you very much recently."

Since Itachi took the initiative to stop morning exercise some time ago, she hasn't seen Hinata Yuzuru for a long time.

"Well, in addition to going to class every day, I also have to exercise. I'm very busy."

Hyuga Yuzuru gave a simple explanation, while Izumi lowered his head a little disappointed: "Yes, Yuzuru, he is already a fifth-year student. Even if I enroll next year, Yuzuru will graduate soon, and there is nothing I can do about it." We’re in class together.”

"As expected of Yuzuru!" She used a word of praise to cover up the fact that she was a little depressed.

Hinata Yuzuru just smiled, while Itachi whispered: "Father said that I will not be allowed to enter school until next year. Yuzuru will be about to graduate by then."

Hinata Yuzuru nodded, and then said with relief: "If it is Itachi, even if he only enrolls next year, he should be able to graduate early in two years at most."

"If there is no war...it would be better to enjoy life in school." Uchiha Shisui hesitated, but in the end he didn't say much.

He pushed the forehead protector on his forehead and sighed: "Time flies so fast. It seems like yesterday you were just children, and today you are already on the road to becoming a ninja."

Quan couldn't help but complain: "Brother Zhisui, you seem to be a child too, right?"

"Really? Hahaha!" Uchiha Shisui was stunned, and then laughed loudly. At one time, he had forgotten his age.

Just thinking of this, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but also gained some fighting spirit - he worked so hard and desperately, wasn't it just for the sake of future children, who don't have to be like him?

As long as we follow the will of fire, this village that has been dark for a long time will eventually usher in a long-lasting light.

For now, Uchiha Shisui is still full of expectations for the future.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly, and the four of them were chatting and laughing on the road. Not far away, a somewhat familiar figure seemed to flash across his sight.

Stopping and just about to speak, Hinata Yuzuru saw the girl in white hiding in a panic in the alley. She didn't seem to want him to find him. After pondering for a moment, he still called her name.

"Xun, are you here to take me home?"

Hinata Kaoru had to step out of the shadows in the alley.

She was wearing the same large black coat that Hinata Hinata had when she was young. Her long hair was scattered and her eyes were half-covered. She seemed a little gloomy. When Hinata Yuzuru called her, she hid her hands behind her back and looked a little nervous: "I'm sorry. , Master Yuzuru, I just don’t want to disturb you and your friends.”

"Are you here to celebrate my birthday?" Hinata Yuzuru guessed her purpose.

Even Uchiha Itachi could think of coming to the school gate to send him birthday wishes, how could Hinata Kaoru forget?

It's just that when I saw him with his friends, I suddenly didn't dare to disturb him.

"Well...a gift." Hinata Xun carefully stretched out his hand from behind to in front of him, which was a small gift box.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and took the gift: "Thank you, let's go together, we are going to eat."

"Can I do it too?" Hinata Xun's expression was surprised, but also a little uneasy - she had never felt that she was Hinata Yuzuru's friend.

"Of course." Hinata Yuzuru smiled and turned to explain a few words to his curious friends.

When they learned that this was the being who was currently serving as Hyuga Yuzuru's 'guard', everyone couldn't help but stand in awe.

He seems to be as big as Shisui, but he can be Hyuga Yuzuru's bodyguard?

This girl is not simple!

For Hinata Yuzuru's sake, even the somewhat introverted Itachi Uchiha said hello obediently.

After a brief self-introduction, the group got back on the road. Hinata Kaoru quietly followed Hinata Yuzuru, acting like a transparent person. Even Izumi, after chatting for a few more words and not getting much feedback, He gave up communicating with her and started following Hinata Yuzuru asking questions.

Arriving at the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen, as soon as the curtain was opened, Hinata Yuzuru couldn't hold it back and became happy.

A dead fish eye glanced at him from the seat.

Kakashi Hatake held his chin with one hand and sat in the corner. When he saw Hinata Yuzuru, he sighed almost instinctively - if this guy would often come to eat noodles at this time, should he consider it? Changed place?

"Kakashi-senpai." Uchiha Shisui said hello unexpectedly, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be here too."

"Well, Shisui, good afternoon." Kakashi Hatake's attitude towards Shisui was lukewarm, but after all, the two were currently in the Anbu, so they were closer than ordinary people.

Although Uchiha Shisui's naive attitude disapproves of Hatake Kakashi, who would hate a hot-blooded and kind-hearted idiot?

At most, I feel worthless for him.

"How about we eat together? Today is Yuzuru's birthday, ah, I forgot to introduce, this is Hinata Yuzuru." Just as Uchiha Shisui was about to introduce a few words to Hinata Yuzuru, he vaguely noticed the difference between the two. The air flow doesn't seem natural.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and nodded to Hatake Kakashi: "We meet again, Kakashi-senpai."

"Oh." He responded somewhat coldly.

"Today is my birthday. I'm treating you to a treat. Let's celebrate it together. Maybe we will never have such an opportunity again in the future." After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but sigh softly.

Sure enough, let’s go.

Could it be that God is punishing me because I am too lazy?

Forget it, let’s go out on a few missions starting tomorrow.

Work hard and strive to escape from ANBU within two years... No, if it can be within one year, that would be better.

For the first time, Kakashi felt the urge to break away from the ANBU - he always felt that if he continued to get entangled with this little guy, he would get into big trouble sooner or later.

Hey.....

What a bad fate...
