Hagi's house.

Joruri had been lying down at the window waiting for the fireworks for a long time. Sakumo told her over and over again to stay away from the window to avoid catching a cold, but she didn't listen at all.

Unable to resist her, Sakumo had no choice but to wrap her up in a blanket.

"You will get sick if you catch a cold. How can you have to take medicine for the New Year?"

The hand wrapped in the blanket was held by Joruri. She lifted a corner of the blanket and pulled Sakumo in. The two of them were like children hiding and seeking, wrapped together in the same blanket, with their two heads exposed at the window.

"Why aren't there any fireworks?"

"It depends on the time...it will be soon."

"I'm looking forward to it~hehe~"

Seeing Joruri's toothless smile, Sakumo also laughed, but he was a little confused. Fireworks would be set off in the village for the villagers to see during major festivals, so he shouldn't expect this.

Joruri shook her head with a peaceful smile. She turned to look at Sakumo who was confused and said, "This year is different. This year... I watched it with you, my brother."

"..." Sakumo didn't know what to say. He just felt that his chest was filled with sour happiness for a moment. After his parents passed away, he got all the warmth from Joruri.

"In the past years, you were actually by my side, but here," Jing Liuli tapped his chest with his index finger and said with a smile, "You are in my heart."

Sakumo was stunned, imagining that every time fireworks were set off in the past, Joruri would be alone, thinking that he was watching the fireworks, and he instantly felt that he was so bad.

"Don't show such a distressed expression. Although I say this, every time I watch it with Wan Sakura and the others, so I won't be alone. However," she approached Sakumo's face like a cunning fox, "You It has indeed delayed me for many years, how should you compensate me?"

Slowly exhaling and suppressing the sourness, Sakumo smiled gently at Joruri again and said, "Is it enough to give you a lifetime?"

Joruri looked at him for a long time. At this time, Sakumo looked back at her tenderly and dotingly, with his deep eyes focused and affectionate.

Nodding, nodding again, Jingliuli heard herself say a good word.

"My whole life, no matter how long or short it is, is mine."

"Ah, it's all yours."

The shrine halfway up the mountain behind Konoha was very lively.

Some come with their families to pray, and some come with their companions and friends.

Naoki and Kosuke accidentally met Kushina here. Kushina was with a group of children of the same age. You could tell who they were by looking at the family crests on their clothes.

Kushina, who was wearing a kimono, was particularly beautiful. Her long red hair was combed into a braid and tied behind her head. She already looked like a little beauty.

Finally she was no longer alone, she had many companions around her.

Kosuke looked at her from a distance. It was the first time he saw such a happy smile on Kushina's face. This smile made her whole face more bright, youthful and lively.

Naoki looked at Kushina and then at Kosuke and asked him, "Should we go over and say hello to her?"

Kosuke actually wanted to go, but Kushina was with his companions, so he hesitated. Facing the girl he liked, Kosuke, who was already shy, would only feel even more shy, so he shook his head.

"No, I won't go, let's do it next time."

How could his best friend Naoki not know what Kosuke's character was like?

He ignored Kosuke's insincere words, grabbed his wrist and ran towards Kushina.

"Hey, Naoki, what are you doing?" Yusuke panicked.

Naoki didn't care about this, he laughed and ran quickly, "If you just watch from the side, Kushina will never understand your thoughts!"

"Hey, Kushina!" Naoki ran and waved to Kushina in the distance.

A few people who were walking slowly turned around when they heard the shouting. Kushina saw the first thing Kushina saw was Kosuke's wrist held by Nogeki.

"You guys go ahead, I'll be there in a moment." Kushina pushed Minato who was waiting for him behind the team.

When Minato saw it was a rope tree, he didn't say anything and chased Ding Zao and the others away.

Naoki looked at the boys and girls walking away, gave Kushina a thumbs up, and praised: "Kushina, we finally have friends, not bad."

Kushina's eyes glanced at Kosuke's wrist from time to time. Now that she had friends, her personality gradually returned to the lively and cheerful way she was when she was a child.

She jokingly approached the rope tree and said in a voice that was so small that only the two of them could hear it, "Naboo tree, I have been spending days like this today with Yukisuke-kun, ah, it seems that you two have a really good relationship. , hee hee~"

"Hey, what are you talking about!"

Naoki let go of Kosuke's wrist as if he was burned. Kosuke, who was suddenly released, looked confused at first, and then he understood what was going on. He quickly jumped two meters away, avoiding Naoki. Viper.

Kushina's prank was successful, and her whole body was shaking with laughter.

Naoki was angry and anxious. No matter how he explained it, Kushina was unmoved.

He was a little afraid to look at Kosuke's face. Why was this Yuelao different from other Yuelao? He just wanted to work hard to draw a red line for his best friend. How could he have the illusion that he was not safe?

"Then... I wish you all a good time tonight. Don't worry, I won't tell Mito-sama."

After Kushina said that, she waved her hands to Naoki and Yusuke, and jumped up and down to catch up with Minato and the others.

Naoki looked like he had swallowed a dead mouse. He glared at Kushina's running back fiercely, and felt aggrieved when he went to see Kousuke.

After a battle between heaven and man in his mind, Kosuke couldn't help but call out Kushina's name.

Among the people coming and going, Kushina stopped and turned around.

Away from the crowd and the lanterns, she saw Yusuke's nervous face.

Kushina tilted her head, waiting for what Kosuke would say next.

In fact, Kosuke really had a lot to say to Kushina, saying that he had liked her over the years, that he wanted to be her friend like those children, that her red hair was very beautiful, that she...

However, when Kosuke opened his mouth and was about to say something, his eyes suddenly noticed several people slowly walking towards this side behind Kushina.

Among a group of middle-aged men, Danzo has a very special temperament. Even on a special day like the Great Dark Day, he is as serious and unsmiling as usual, or it may be more accurate to describe him as cold.

The words he had summoned up the courage to say all flew away at the moment he saw his father's face. Yusuke felt that his feet were nailed to the ground, and the blood all over his body flowed back to his heart, and his face suddenly became bright. It became a little pale in the dim light of the lanterns.

He was sure his father saw him.

"Kousuke?" Kushina called him in confusion.

Danzo walked past Kushina. He walked behind several contemporaries. After a few steps, he turned back and stared coldly at the red-haired girl.

Such a look was so cold that it scared Kushina to tremble.

She heard Kosuke not far away calling the man in despair, "Father."

Gentle Kosuke actually has such a terrifying father?

Kushina turned around angrily and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

Danzo looked down at his son who bowed respectfully to him, and then looked at the uncomfortable rope tree next to him. He looked back and used the corner of his eye to look at the girl standing there just now. However, he could no longer see that girl. The girl's figure was gone.

That's a member of Mito's tribe, right? Is that the child?

Danzo didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, and followed the same person away.

When his father walked away, Kosuke hurriedly looked for Kushina's figure. In the vast sea of ​​people, where was her shadow?

When he returned home from the shrine, Naoki saw his father in the living room. Logically speaking, he had already gone to rest with his mother at this time. There was only one reason for waiting here, specifically to wait for him.

The father and son sat on both sides of the low table. Yusuke raised his head and looked at his father anxiously. Danzo's eyes were always on Yusuke's face, but he seemed to be distracted again.

After hesitating for a moment, expecting to be stabbed sooner or later, Kosuke called him desperately: "Father."

This father's voice completely brought Danzo back to his senses.

"That kid tonight..."

Sure enough, it was about Kushina.

Before Danzo could continue, Kosuke took the lead and shook his head, "It's not what my father thought. She and I have nothing to do. We just happened to meet her on the mountain and just said hello."

Kosuke wasn't sure whether his father could listen to his explanation, but his father smiled, and under the light, his father's smile looked indescribably weird.

Or maybe the smile was normal, but it was because his father never smiled at him, which made him feel weird.

"Kousuke, you have reached the age where you are interested in the opposite sex."

Kosuke didn't dare to answer the question casually. His father's words were really unlike his usual style. In the past, his father always taught him that ninjas should be focused on nothing else. Improving abilities is the first priority. Apart from that, nothing else matters.

"If it's that kid..."

"I won't have anything to do with her..."

"No," Danzo shook his head, "If it's that child, Yusuke, you can date her."

Danzo said such words that Kosuke never expected. He looked at his father opposite him in disbelief, as if he could not digest this topic for a while.

Danzo repeated again, "As for the child, I think it's okay, Yusuke, you must capture her."

Kosuke, you must take him down.

This sentence has been echoing in Kosuke's mind. Does this represent his father's approval of the girl he likes?

However, I always feel that there is something else inside, but what exactly is it?

Logically speaking, Kushina would not be the perfect daughter-in-law in her father's mind. Why would he agree?

Rather than agreeing that he likes Kushina, this is more like a task given by him.

In the dark night, Kosuke frowned.

What should he... do?
